BC

PepeDeCorozal

Gold is mentioned repeatedly as money and wealth in Job, which was written sometime around 2000 BC. So that's at least 4000 years ago.

leif777

Didn't Archimedes figure this out back in 250BC?

Id is a wide field that ranges from things like your Reddit handle , email address, to employer id (most employers know who they employ, right?) to gov id. So gov id is just one usecase of id. Govs are going to decide whether to have id programs regardless: and trust me, how they manage it today technically is very wrong (better building blocks and precedents are needed) They should not all be linked. The user must be in control In decentralised id The personal data is not on the Blockchain. BC is only used tangentally, essentially to link public keys to pseudonymous identifiers which are then used to enable parties to verify any data that a user chooses to send out of band. This is one of the hardest things to explain: decentralised id is not "id on a Blockchain", rather BC is just a tool to assist in key management.. because I work in the field (not for the project of the article, but in similar areas) I can't stop jumping in to try and quash the misconception about "id on a Blockchain" as it creates confusion Anything to do with refugees, Russia, requirements to present id for x and y etc are political concerns not relevant to the technicalities of a tech solution. All of those political concerns exist today with or without any tech stacks that are being worked on completely independently of any government.

Look, I watched the video and it works in theory. In deployment, these solutions don't move past the POC stage and are relegated as science experiments. Whether or not you found my real identity doesn't matter, as I'm speaking from working with these same industry folks up and down the ladder in very similar projects using primarily private BC stacks.

CVC1712

Always buy BC if you have assets to spare . Dollar cost average… it doesn’t matter if it’s 1 mil a coin. There’s still some to buy rn and eventually there won’t be any available.

CVC1712

Don’t stress it. You’re young and have all the opportunities to make whatever you lost, back. I made the same mistake trying to short and capitalize on the rise and fall of BC, but the short answer is that the average person can’t. Trading fees and taxes are too high to be able to capitalize on buying and selling on a short term basis. Ideally, you buy small amounts on a dollar cost average and with BC IN PARTICULAR, you don’t want to sell. So, only put in what you can afford to do without. Even fractions of BC is still better than no BC

Buy BC

Why does BC go down after inflation news like other stocks? Isnt it the inflation answer

AdministrativeSea481

That’s why u have bitcoin . I was getting the best BC bud. Then mt gox stole my coin and my dude stopped delivering .

mineral24

Yeah this is one of my plays this cycle—all the BC will surely moon

Uda880

All of these public chains are building products for the crypto community, not for the existing processes and enterprise players. It's just a snake eating its tail every cycle. We took the tech and rebuilt it on private chains, without any of the public scrutiny or connections to the broader crypto community. Invest into IBM, or Microsoft, if you want to invest into enterprise BC. At least that way, you'll get a generally profitable, and stable, return.

SwiftSweed

Give me one use case where BC is a better than money , I'm a believer but I cannot understand how a bitcoin economy would work , you need to borrow to realize "dreams" inflation is kind of a I believe in the future a force that regulated by our common belief in the prospects of the future. How would borrowing work in a no inflation economy ? Where is the incentive to make something better so you can make a return on the money ( just so you know, I hate the idea of returns each quarter and I think it's damaging everything in this world) all BC evangelists in the end boil down to I bought Bitcoin now I'm smart because I sold it for USD and that's why you are silly, then you get lots of "simple solutions to complicated issues stories" about why it's superior but none of them are better than money. Please enlighten me ,,,,,, any one because I do want to believe. Fyi, I to believe that the ath in USD is more likely than it going to 0 so you would be silly to not buy ...

SwiftSweed

I'm buying , but only for the reason that I find it more likely that it will get a new all time high rather than going to 0 , I even buy the idea that it's a less shit gold. But is going back to the gold standard really something that will solve anything ? Un banked people will still be a thing , because BC is gold standard with new gate keepers. Give me a good user case where it beats money , because I am despite my writing a fan and do want to believe so please just one user case where it does something better than money

Honest_Ice_1205

I was on some $29 a month plan thinking then everything would be free. I was then hit with a $60 fee just to move the BC to my own wallet

ChonkyWhiteBoi

Every time I see posts like this it reminds me of the time my ex wife talked me out of being a millionaire. When BC crashed the first time people were selling bitcoin shares for like $0.35 a share. I wanted to buy $300 of BC. She talked me out of it saying we needed that money and it's dumb to waste it. Right now that is $55.2Million. Why the fuck did I listen to her? 😤

JahIthBur

In BC lower mainland the minimum cost for a house is 1 million for something like the in picture it would cost 1.5-2 million easy

GetRightNYC

It's fucking stupid as it gets. Us nerds calling it a wrench attack doesn't help. Have to put a different picture into people's heads. Maybe they've never been mugged before? Or had their car stolen? Lunch money stolen? Let's go with that one If you got your lunch money stolen growning up...when someone finds out you have bitcoin, and they put a gun to your head, you're giving up that password just as easily. It's like people don't watch these videos online of people robbing and killing each other over sneakers. You think the next generation of thieves don't know about bitcoin and the ROI of robbing some nerd that likes to brag online? Don't carry your BC wallet if you've never been mugged at gun point and successfully fought them off.

shifty_1981

His advice was not to Wait for the bottom but to dynamically dca in to the bottom. He was buying near the bottom per the risk levels. He doesn't sell courses. So you even know what he provides? He sold near the top last time per the risk levels as he suggested others do. Did he think it would go on for longer? He thought there was a good chance. If you held and never sold anything then you ignored his advice. No problem if you find free stuff that works. Good for you. Most people can't find that easily and know how to compare it to the 1000 others offering *free* stuff. BC provides a ton of tools to compare. There's a whole dashboard dedicated to top and bottom indicators. Cycle to cycle some hit and some don't. That's why you look at them all and consider which ones makes sense to lean on and which ones don't. Sounds like you're just salty and don't even know what he provides. If the free stuff was all you needed then everyone would be rich by now. But alas free does not equate to eat to recognize the most accurate.

Corned_Beefed

Is anyone going to actually use their crypto to pay for anything— especially pizza— given the apocryphal story of the early BC investor who pissed away a future fortune on pepperoni?

shifty_1981

Again BC isn't a professional trader. He's an investor. Are you a premium member who sees what tools he provided. He buys low on the risk scale and sells as it gets high. The advice he gives can benefit traders but he's not a trader and has never claimed to be one.

shifty_1981

Some people like to teach others things. Some write books. Some teach classes. Etc. Some people aren't just doing their skill but also helping others learn the same. Trading isn't an exact science so I don't expect them to get it right every time. There's risk levels. There's anomalies. There's mistakes. There's black swan events. There's big money plans that buck the charts. If the only successful traders never taught anyone anything then everyone would have to learn from their own experience and never read up on anything. Lastly BC isn't a day trader or even a monthly trader. He knows many are so he offers advice on how to navigate that. But he tends to buy low and sell after a long time when the risks start getting high and other investments showing all stronger. Others tend to trade much shorter time periods.

shifty_1981

Why do it in private if you can have a decent source of income. IMO the ITC site is pretty amazing tool. Better than anything else out there I've seen other than pro-only access sites. My guess is BC has made good enough $ through investing and his business that he's more risk averse than most retail buyers and thus always cautioning instead of being too much of a moon boy like most others on YT. Soloway has never sat well with me. He's on shows and shows want predictions and too often I saw those flop. I'm guessing if he had a revenue stream like BC he wouldn't be making so many predictions. Predictions get you views and invited back to shows.

Uda880

Means a third party exchange created tokens representing BlackRock MMF shares by using Hedera BC. I'd look into the underlying mechanisms to see if the exchange is purchasing shares and denominating them through this new token. It doesn't read like BlackRock is directly tokenizing on Hedera.

Haunting-Student-756

TF u mean u can’t access CB and BC?

DreadPirateGriswold

Cramer said that? Prob has a ton of puts on BC.

cavalloacquatico

JP Morgan predicts price drop- so we can fade that. And last few halvings have seen bull yearly run-up. What are the chances both JPM issues a truthful statement AND previous history reverses course? What this means to me is that converting everything into BC immediately is safe / no steep short term drops like with recent bear run (where you would take a bloodbath every time you paid for something). Especially too because Fed will do anything to prop up things during this Election year. Semi-encouraging additionally is BRICS announcing they will settle in crypto- although it wouldn't surprise me if those rabid chimps screw up things with shitcoins and\or national e-coins. Biggest personal worry had been present administration declaring full war on crypto, but we've seemingly dodged that bullet- although they still have made things difficult- it'd be far easier & more lucrative on another passport elsewhere...as with gambling, day trading, banking.

letmetakeaguess

260k 50% 250k + 67% 10k Paying tax on 131k at your income rate. How tf does no one understand this? If you made only the 260k from cap gains, living in BC you would pay 32k or 12% tax 12% And there is no needing to hold for a year. A bunch of fucking whiny babies.

uncapchad

well I couldn't (astonishingly enough) find a shovel coin/token - not even one with a hat! I did learn though that the Chinese had spade-shaped money circa 1045 BC. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spade\_money](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spade_money)

direktor4eto_reborn

I have 3 properties. Had 5 an year aho and was gonna buy a 6th one. But I converted hard into a BC maxi and plans change: sold 2 and didn't buy the 6th. For my particular case, it ate quite a lot of the RE part of my portfolio.

Tothinkoutofthenut

Wouldn’t you have to compare it with Gold starting at zero, 200 BC or something similar ?

MagixTouch

2008BC

BlahBlahBlackCheap

If that brings you pleasure then great. But for others, hanging out somewhere not having to think about money at all because you already have enough to last several lifetimes might be the way they would choose. If I had 65000 BC I wouldn’t bother with market plays. Though I could develop a hobby of buying water front property for public use I suppose, which might entail leveraging more capital.

phyic

I'm not up to speed with any of this. What is BC halving? Why and what does it mean

Puzzman

BC = Before Coins?

d_d0g

Ah yes, the 12 year bull foretold by the ancient BTC prophets in 10 BC. Unfortunately they were full of shit.

Begmypard

It's smart if you sold the top, but you missed that boat. Now it's a big gamble. Likely BTC continues to consolidate and alts will sporadically pump/bleed until and if BTC takes off, then alts will bleed into it some more as it runs, adding to your misery. Or, inversely, BC could go up a decent bit but stall and then dog shit memecoins could pump 4000%. It's a big casino.

Halo22B

If your wallet is Legacy (addresses start with a 1) use BTC if it is a segwit address (more modern) that starts with a 3 or BC1 then use segwit .....also use a better exchange that gives a shit about the customer experience.

Ok-Tradition-6350

93.56% of all bitcoin has already been mined. The effort and cost to mine the little remaining has increased exponentially. This " but BC doubled after previous halfling " is hype garbage. Buy BC if you want, but halfling should not be the reasoning

Uda880

No... It won't. No one uses Blockchain in any enterprise app today outside of a few POCs. I spent 10 years trying to make it work with large enterprise systems and customer facing apps, but Blockchain is inherently clunky, expensive, and everyday consumers genuinely don't want to additional plumbing and processes that go into making a BC app to work. Once you simplify the app so that they accept it, it becomes too centralized to even qualify as a decentralized BC app to begin with. A lot of you guys are reading too much into the hype. They do this every cycle - "If only the public knew how great the tech is".

CrazyJack66

I don’t know man. While I agree that you shouldn’t risk anything you can’t afford to lose… bitcoin is the only asset that has been steadily climbing for the last 10 years, except for that year when Musk came and destabilized the whole thing. And even then, it still climbed back up. Not saying go into massive debt to buy BC, but we really should start to ask. What’s the end game? BC is only valuable because people keep buying it (myself included) not because it has any real world application so far but only because it may have the potential to do so. It’s not backed up with anything tangible like gold, silver etc like the other regular currencies. It’s only backed up right now by speculation and real money, and although that has shown to be really powerful. Will it ever be actually used in a massive regular way? (Not rhetorical Truly asking here) that’s the only way we will get that dream payday in which 1 Bitcoin = …what? 500k? 600k? 1M? And then what? Do we sell it? Do we hold it? What are we expecting here?

gb52

Bitcoin is too volatile… and bitcoin is trash for the end user.. “I’ll take 100g of weed please”, “sure, that’ll be 0.366366455546 BC please”

BackMcGammon

Trezor has a pretty good reputation, and is as transparent as they can be. The risk of any back door activities are slim. Devices as of NGRAVE or BC Vault are supposedly safer, as they generate their seed phrases randomly… which makes jt for the manufacture impossible to know your seed phrase. Having said that, generate a new seed phrase on your new device and then transfer your funds.

fbunnycuck

Dude if thats an actual Casascius coin its very real and could be worth a shot ton depending on the embedded piece of paper with digital value says. I literally know somone in the tech industry whos ex bought him one of these with 100 'coins as a joke he thought it was stupid but kept it and made it through 3 bull runs...only because he literally forgot he had it,, sold it when BC was in the 50 k range per And retired at 43 Good luck !!

Ok-Tradition-6350

She is 21. The talk you need to have is about the realities of life, The maturity of a 21 yr old is likely to get rich quick , and saying things like large chunks into highly volatile BC, will only fertilize the impatience of youth. The dad conversation to have is that if she locks this money into retirement only, at that age she will retire young and wealthy. With that time frame and compounding with consecutive maxed Roths, even conventional with conversions. It's not as much as what she should buy, SPY,QQQ,BC etf"s. It's about her not spending that money at all and leaving it to work for her

midastouch900

If he said this to the Romans in 200 BC he might've done really well out of it My guy ain't getting anywhere with that in 2024 though lol

Hello, I wanna buy arweave, but idk how to BC in the UK Binance isn't usable. Which exchanges are reliable and allow me to put money in?

cummingwithintegrity

Whatever happened to BC Vault? Anyone ever heard of it and use it?

YouJustLostTheGameOk

I have 10 BC sitting somewhere in the internets…. I want it so bad.

doives

Clearly you just read the headline and commented, because if you had read the super short article you'd know it has nothing to do with law enforcement: "The product is a call warrant with Xiaomi Corporation as the underlying stock. The tokenized warrant is also the first natively issued warrant on a public blockchain that was sold to OSL Digital Securities Limited, a licensed virtual asset platform operator and wholly-owned subsidiary of OSL Group (formerly BC Technology Group)."

ZeroAntagonist

Yeah, they'd just take out 0% loans with BC as the collateral. Then pay with another loan or line of credit.

ZeroAntagonist

I'd hope that by then, I can just pay for the house/mortgage in BC. Or take loans when needed with my BC as collateral. I'm not really sure what your point is, though. Investments have a risk? Ok.

thetaleech

The ONLY aspect of gold that is superior is malleability. Silver is right there with it. Copper is malleable, but not quite as much. We are able to make copper just as thin as gold - it’s “less easy” but not in any significant way with modern tech. Copper and silver are both resistant to corrosion too. Everything you listed is true, but also true of copper (except luster) and are all just more reasons we choose copper. It’s just as good as gold but LESS RARE, LESS SHINY, AND THEREFORE CHEAPER. My entire argument is built to shut down the anticrypto crowd who says “CRYPTO IS NOT LIKE GOLD BC GOLD HAS INHERENT VALUE.” The inherent value of gold is simply not a real factor in its real world value. That is about RARITY, NOT USEFULNESS. BTC IS like gold.

nuphoria

That was Mike Caldwell, minted tons in of different value coins and bars, all encoded with the passkey for BC value. Govt shut him down as you can't print your own money - technically nonsense. You can look up which ones haven't been peeled - quite a few knocking about, and generally considered to be worth more then face value as collectables.

HvRv

Users of what?? Meme coins? The lasting big things that are being built on Blockchain use it as a tool or a leverage to upscale their business. Building a BC tool just to take advantage of the current hype or fad is never long lasting and yes it's deffo better to do it in the center of that attention. But if you plan to take your current or new business into the future and think about the next 5-10-20 years then you are going to try and wager every aspect of the BC of your choosing from a technical standpoint.

augustaye

Surprised he owned up to it, takes a bigger person to do so... $69,993.30 of a bigger person to do so per coin I got BC as a company performance prize pool (20) when it was trading at 6-7k. I held on to left over 3 because I had to use the rest for living and just in case. When it hit 56K in 2019-20, i freaked out. Had to scrounge through my family houses in 2 states to find my key

ToughSea4639

IMO- if you are truly a BC bull, buy BITC May calls, It's follows BC's performance by 2x. Then sell/close the position into the halving/late April, take the 50x profit and buy actual Bitcon there after- you will come out significantly ahead.

donhickshere

I remember folding BC was a way to test your overclock on a PC and I used to do it for bragging rights/stability testing. All before online wallets. Came home to dig that computer up a when BC hit like 1k and my stepdad wiped it to play some kind of aircraft simulator.

ToughSea4639

I have made several MM in BC however I keep my finances private, people can't judge or ask for what they don't know.

Similary in 1500 BC, gold had the potential to become money but there was no guarantee it would happen, that didnt mean there was any reason to claim it couldnt become money. This is my point. Bitcoin may not beocme money but it makes zero sense to claim it cant become money. All that does is show ignorance and short-sightedness.

Overall-Rice-4237

Well, it was 2014. BC wasn't like it was now. It could have faded in to obscurity. The reason it was in the news is because the Silk Road was taken down by the FBI.

ryanalmos

The CIA doesn't develop shit this complex... they instigate subversion and counter Intel to have others do it thinking it was them who came up with the idea...... lol ... bttw has anyone pulled up Satoshi connections ..as in IP and Mac info as well as hals and throw in Paul's as well as any connections or conversations by which any were connected through Vancouver BC or conversed with an unknown so far that was on the Shaw network .... idk just an idea I thought I would share .

Thehandsomeswedee

With the difference that real estate generates dividends. BC generates nothing because it has no revenue.

There are some people out there whom actually hold full running node. I haven't dug into it, i don't know if it keeps all crypto, or just a certain BC, has it been forked, etc. Etc.

Really? Do you really think you dicovered the easy way to become a whale? What if the dip you want to buy never comes? What if all the predicts about what will happen because it happened last time will not happen? Because of so much more people understanding BC nowadways? Because of the ETFs? Because of rich people heaving BTC and just dont see a reason to sell?

Maturki

I know HODL and everything but I have little BC and I want to sell to buy more later. Is this a good selling moment? I feel the hype is too high I have seen this before
