So you try to hijack the discussion about Iran accepting crypto payments by FUDing about "the use case for crypto is crime" (which has been done to death by others more intelligent than you BTW), adding an ad hom about me being spineless, and now you want ME to stay ontopic? Nice try, gaslight bot.
BTW when the class action kicks off, the first person to get interrogated ought to be Josh Scigala. I just don't believe his assertion that this fraud has nothing to do with him...
BTW, speaking of skis.... I'll sell them when price drop $50k
I have set up my Trezor and I was very careful during initial setup. BTW Passphrase is not mandatory. If you don't activate in Trezor Suite the feature "Use Passphrase Wallet" then nothing happens, instead seed phrase wallet is opened (Seed wallet is always opened when trezor device itself is not connected). I have feature enabled just in case for testing it and Passphrase must be used only if you intend to add Passphrase wallet (It is possible to open it only when Trezor device is connected with Suite). Yes both credentials should be stored securely (Passphrase and Seed phrase). Even single mistyped character changes wallet. I take it as a security measurement because if only I know my passphrase (memorized in my mind) then nobody can't guess it even if they have access to my seed phrase . It is case sensitive and can be combined with special characters and numbers. If user himself makes mistakes during initial setup like writes down wrongly seed and passphrase then it is his/her own fault. Make sure characters are matching during pass phrase setup. It is designed to be created on the fly so Passphrase can't be stored anywhere than in written form on paper/stamped washers etc. Double check and verify. Make test transaction from seed wallet to pass phrase wallet to see if balance shows up.
I have vast experience in mining so I give you answers fro these: * you bought a miner because a calculator said it was profitable *today* * Yes find calculator online there are many and do average of them they have also at asicprofit and also at miningnow and others. Those I rely on . BTW also your hosting provider shall have calculator online with historical data (what oneminers has as well) so you can check and challenge them if your earning are lower. * you have no idea what your actual monthly power cost is * \-- For example Oneminers charges you exact amount of electricity your miner or server consumed based on reading from smart meter. And you can see it at dashboard. If you turn off machine you are not charged . Other hosting providers charges also for turned off miners. As far as I know only they have smart PDUs everywhere so you pay exactly only what consumed. * you’re assuming the coin price won’t drop (or will magically go up) * Bitcoin mining companies can not influence prices of coins but at oneminers they will allow you exchange mined coins to Bitcoins or KASPA or to USDT and USD. Like to exchange directly in the platform and dashboard to USD and withdraw to your bank account. * you don’t really understand what J/TH means, you just picked a machine * At miningnow and asicprofit and oneminers you have all calculation and in specification written efficiency of the machine. However their lowest power cost in the market makes even less efficient servers and miners profitable. * you chose the coin because it’s “hot” right now * check blogs, crypto artcicles and also blogs or simply connect with \[1M\]-oneminers and their sales and support and articles and educational data suggest you to stick with at least half of coins to Bitcoin mining. However who knows. Nobody know the future, also betting to another coin may bring higher revenue. But they will explain you if the coin has potential or it is just meme(sh\*tcoin with absolute no technical future) * you’re expecting ROI in a few months no matter what * \-- Yes your ROI can vary and expect to have 2-5 years in reality. You don't know where will be market and nobody knows. * you haven’t thought about difficulty increasing at all * \-- difficulty increases or we can predict that. But also this might change and culminate to some number. But rather expect increasing * downtime/repairs haven’t even crossed your mind * \-- This is huge issue when machine breaks down in data center you have no way to verify if it is legitimate or not. For example I have experience with WeMine - they simply one day turned off all miners and claimed that they are broken. And were repairing them for 3 months and even asked for paying for it even when it was within warranty. What could I do ? Nothing I even contacted police. you can not do anything . They will cheat you especially in Dubai and Wemine. And the odds that 10 machines breaks down at the same time is close to impossible . That is harsh reality. In background Indian guy was mining for himself and Arabic guys were tolerating it as they had their share. You can not win there. STAY AWAY from WEMINE. BTW they never repaired the machines even after paying they made up stories like it is fault of machines and chips and after their repaired for which they charged money the machines were not working. Stay away from WEMINE!! * at \[1M\] they have 7 years warranty and no fees for repairs!!. No Fees no charges , fast repairs. They always repair within month ALWAYS. IF not they will compensate you Sometimes 2 days sometimes longer. They even give you replacement for new machine if it breaks within first 2 months. What happens quite often in reality -- but they GIVE YOU REPLACEMENT at \[1M\] * you think this is passive income with zero headaches * It is risky but educate yourself and figure out and spread your investment to multiple assets. Mining, crypto, real estate, stocks and mostly to yourself - your education, health and fitness and your family. * you didn’t compare multiple machines, just pulled the trigger * It is not so hard just take the most profitable miners from website on reliable partner. There is free sales consultation with Crypto expert offered by Oneminers * you’d be stressed if profits dipped for a couple months * Yes please invest to crypto only those money you do not need for your survival!! IT can fall to 0 and also climb 5000%. * you’re checking profitability every day like it’s a stock ticker * You can check and you should check at yout hosting provider to check them and audit them. So yes. But once you get confidence and understand how it works and that at \[1M\]-oneminers your earning reflects the posibile market capabilities . Like you are going to have plus minus 98-99% of maximum possible earning possible for your hardware configuration. So yes there are many ways how to go for and especially do not hold your mined or invested crypto in Exchanges. All will bancgroup in finite time and your money will be gone or will be hacked. Look at it that way. Have bitcoin core wallet or onekey is good wallet as well or have hardware wallet (but beware also there, they were some issues lately ). I have many years of experience with multiple platforms so I tried to recommend only those that I am 100% sure and can give guarantee for. And believe me I was tricked and cheated by more than 30 companies already as I am mining for more than 12 years.
So, you're gonna use it as collateral if you want (as per my original post) or you're gonna leave it to your legacy (passing on generational wealth or to create some other form of legacy) because you are NOT gonna be taking it with you. So if you are not gonna do any of these two things what is the point of investing if you're "never" gonna sell? Your arguments are not rational. BTW, I've been investing in BTC since 2017. Started in a trust (Greyscale GBTC when it was just a trust). Sold all, moved all to exchanges and all now in cold storage). DCAing on the 15th of every month for at least the next 5 years. Never sold anything yet, but I'm planning on selling some or all at some point in the future. See. That's rational.
BTW, it's not hacking. It's just simple mathematics, just takes around two days in an ordinary home computer.
Half the dickheads on this board voted him in BTW
This cycle is a thing for predicting what dumb investors will do, in no way means cycles had to repeat as rule, that's astrological disguised as statistic analysis (BTW prediction of future events based purely on statistics it's an inductive fallacy, we can rely on statist when we control all variables, thats not applicable to Bitcoin, only to commodore as wheat, soy, rice which production is highly influences by stations or demographics). The 4yr cycles its more like a religion than objective economics. So I name those in as: THE FOUR YEARS CULT
BTW: Nexo Support deleted my post on their sub and blocked me.
I got kids your age, I am not pushing them into crypto, I am pushing them into AI. Not posted here is how a lot of US based mining companies are selling btc to build out AI infrastructure. If you can learn to deploy AI for local businesses, you will print money. Way better ROI in AI coming up compared to anything crypto. BTW, I bought btc at $80, a decade ago the advice I would give you would be very different.
100. Was just talking about this. BTW I didn’t realize until I watched that video again the total was $3.48 for all 10 bitcoins.
Are you a true believer? I agree it feels like a great time to back up the truck, but I think you should game out your plan if btc crashes hard through $50k with no bottom in sight. If you’re dug in enough that you’ll double or triple down, then it’s probably a good sign. If not, you might want to plan to cut losses much earlier if your trade goes sideways. BTW I don’t think that will happen. Would be crazy town.
We won't all last that long. Not a threat BTW, a reality.
I did feel bad about that one, but I can't be sure to put all possibilities. I even consulted AI about those keywords before hand: [https://imgur.com/a/qcZ9qjC](https://imgur.com/a/qcZ9qjC) I'm trying to be fair, but I do have to make subjective decisions. BTW, after running 7 rounds now, I'm still in the hole. I'm giving away more sats than I'm earning.
Honestly, there is one thing that will overshadow any fee comparison. Learn to use the 'pro.' interface and place limit trades. And that is true for EITHER coinbase or kraken. Despite the name, it is free on either platform and not a separate paid service. (Don't confuse this with a prepaid subscription service. Both platforms also offer that but probably don't make sense in your case.) Just spend a couple of hours watching how the charted price moves up and down. Change the graph to a 1 minute interval so you can see the movements. When you are ready, if you are buying, pick a price you're willing to pay slightly below the current trading price, a small quantity either in BTC or more probably your local currency, and "Order". The order will not be executed right away. Instead, your order will be placed in an "order book" and wait until the current trading price meets your order price. Then it will be executed and the trade finalized. If the price never meets your order price, the order will still be held until it does. So you may want to deleted the unfulfilled trade (anytime before it is finalized.) So soon as you get comfortable with that, the question of 'float' goes away, the trading fees drop from 1.5% (or so) to less the 0.50% (or so). I **think** the current coinbase fee for trading like that is 0.40%. I'm trading on kraken for 0.25%. That is the single biggest change you can make. Oh, and BTW; you mentioned: "before i start moving funds around." In my opinion, there is no good reason for moving coins from coinbase to kraken or vice-versa. Anything you move from an exchange should go to a cold wallet in your control. I've been through one exchange failure (there have been multiple!) and thanks to this approach I lost a few hundred dollars instead of my whole bag.
>Why? There are perfectly working PoW coins that are not crippled. They are just one trade away even. You don't even have to leave Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash works perfectly. You might also want to try Monero as another example. No one gives shit about those other coins the way they do btc. So it doesnt matter what they bring to the table, the most interest is still on btc and will likely remain there. >At least 51% disagree with you, because they have constant problems with LN. You will find more here: >[https://old.reddit.com/user/DangerHighVoltage111/comments/1ne1qyt/ln\_fails/](https://old.reddit.com/user/DangerHighVoltage111/comments/1ne1qyt/ln_fails/) Yeah, the people with issues will complain on a post for sure, even still plenty of people don’t have a problem using it overall. >And what does this have to do with it? This is the FIAT maxi speaking out of you not, the p2p casher. Govs and Institutions are fine with you getting FIAT rich, they just want to keep control over you. And with crippled BTC they will keep it. Yeah its down for now but it always hits new ath and continues to thrive overall. BTW they hold no control over me at all financially. Of course there are others that they will for sure. >It is never pointless to fight for more freedoms. And to do so you must get of the captured horse. Well yeah if crypto isn't for you, then you can leave it for sure.
>No, it wasn't. My argument was "number go up" isn't prove for bitcoin because fraud schemes like ponzis do that too, not that bitcoin actually is a ponzi and I laid out what bitcoin would need to actually do to probe itself. Well, the way you worded it and then spoke of btc in the same sentence looked like you tied the two. Most would say it’s doing just fine it’s not an asset that guarantees anything, you can buy it if you want and sell it if you want. So, you can gain or lose a lot of money with it depending on what price you get it or if you have leverage gains or losses. BTW it has a market it is accepted by over 20k businesses worldwide and thousands more online. So, it is accepted as payment but people just may not care to use it for that. >20k what? Just that number by itself is meaningless. Also, just "accepting" isn't good enough. For bitcoin to prove itself people would need to be able to life in a bitcoin economy that prices goods and services in bitcoin, not dollars or euros or yen that can be paid trough btc. Well, you said very few so don’t try to say me giving you a number to dispute that is meaningless. These are real businesses so it does mean something for sure. Naw it doesn’t need that but it would be very nice. Being government backed with major players investing in it and having the etf is more then enough for it to be seen as a big deal. >As I already stated, only a btc enthusiast would actually do that. Everyone else needs dollars to pay rent, suppliers, labor and so on. Nobody lives in a bitcoin economy. That is my fundamental argument. This is what would need to happen for bitcoin to "prove itself", or at least in its original premise. I would also accept the new narrative of "digital gold" but that hasn't materialized either. Yeah, and I gave the lighting network as an option to use. So, it will still be cheaper than many other options for many different countries. So, I suppose you must have missed that or something. Well the digital gold is mostly from investors, even still its still a big deal that major multibillion dollar companies see it as such.
BTW your statement that you are only allowed to carry the maximum of 10k in cash at the border is not true. 10k is the limit that you don't have to declare, you can carry more AFAIK. It's risky of course.
If anyone experiences this, do not trust a random stranger online. If you lost access to your Bitcoin Core wallet, than there are open source scripts available on Github that might help you resolve pass. BTW, newer version of core can also wrongly tell you that your password is incorrect. Going back to a version of core of when you created the wallet might be helping you with wrong pass message, while entering the right password. It is smart to do this airgapped, so you can throw a export privkey command and import your privkey on newer and safer software.
I must not be his main demographic. 50 yo male with grown children. I never consumed his products until Beast Games. Our family enjoys the show. My teenage child talks about it with friends. Much like we used to watch survivor. This idea about bating children is very old. Same for me when I watched cartoons and ate sugary cereal, enjoyed candy cigarettes and gum in a tobacco shaped pouch decades ago. Guys got an idea and making money from it. Parents gotta do their job. BTW, are his chocolate bars good?
We do not need spambots in this subreddit. BTW, Hal finney predicted bitcoin2 hitting the market and how it would not outdo bitcoin a decade and a half ago. https://i.redd.it/5j2fzdinmn291.jpg
When it comes to Reddit + crypto + bots, there's no such thing as too much paranoia. BTW, is your bot's source code available for review on GitHub? I wouldn't mind looking it over.
Ok.... I absolutely love a pro crypto guy in federal reserve... but hear me out... How much influence do you think Trump and his family (Melania, Jr, Eric) will have on this man? We know what Trump has done with crypto (Trump coin, Melania coin)... if Trump tomorrow asks this guy to comment 'Doveishly', so everyone starts buying, then Trump attacks another country, and then everything crashes - then what? Every single guy Trump chose this term is blowing down to his wish BTW, so why would this guy be any different?
DCA is the way! BTW, you went with the number 69 intentionally or just the max your budget allows?
Cash App skims around ~2% BTW. Buy on any actual exchange instead of a broker and you'll see Cash App gives you less Bitcoin per buy. They pretend there are few fees or spread, but dollar for dollar, you get less Bitcoin.
Can you all please sell? I wanna buy cheaper! BTW this is not the time to sell but to buy, for those who don’t know and are new in the community or in bitcoin.
Thanks for the reminder... I need to get my 🌽Off the exchange. I normally move to a hot wallet when I have more than I care to lose $500 or so. Then I will consolidate utxo's at about 2mil Sats into a cold wallet. BTW, if you sell your bitcoin, then buy back on another exchange you have a wash sale, and there are currently no wash rules with crypto like with equities. So if you can lock in any losses since btc is way down. This might be a good thing for you.
I hope 40k, but I think most likely 50531, my buy order BTW😂
BTW i contendo you two things: \>Bitcoin failed to be a payment option. It’s expensive, slow volatile and yet complicated. Not really, Bitcoin lighting its an excellent payment system, super cheap, privacy-preserving and fast, the tools to implement as payment system are opensource and widely available and less complicated to implement than using a CC payment gateway. \>Bitcoin failed as a store value. It’s too volatile. Gold and silver moved, BTC is down. Yes and No, It failed as at this stage it had become a trader's hostage, it derives into volatility, it decoupled to Silver and Gold because its HODLers not sparse enough, a big number of HODLers where at IT/Software industry, they are facing an deep liquidity crisis triggered by (guess who)? AI craze, not just AI is rendering obsolete number of Software related business models, but also is sucking huge loads of liquidity as a money-market blackhole, all that money has to come from any source, even if it means selling your loved bitcoins.
A little later I'll outline what I do. I wouldn't call these 'recommendations' because there is such a wide range of really good practices. I was getting a tumor the size of an XL egg sucked out of my brain when FTX went under. I was philosophical that my losses were part of the operation expense. But it would have sucked to come back to reality only to find that all my crypto was gone. (BTW. Don't trust people that say your only backup of wallet seeds should be memorization. When I woke up I had **no idea** what any of my passwords were.)
Restore your backup in a good wallet that is in a secure environment. I.e. whatever you trusted your bitcoin core to run on, you can similarly trust to run electrum or sparrow wallet too. Use that without waiting for full sync. If you don't have a mnemonic backup, use dumpwallet in console in bitcoin core (I think that still works) to export the keys and import them into into another wallet. Mind that change addresses and how they won't be backed up if the imported keys file isn't saved. Best option is to create a new wallet in sparrow, make your mnemonic backup. Then send everything from old wallet to new. BTW yes, if you spent coins from your addresses with some contorted "offline" method, that send will show up when using any other wallet. There is only one blockchain, and all wallets only look up your addresses from it, not tracking their own things. You do need all keys, one for each address in the wallet. If your send created a change address and you did not save the key for it, that's gone.
I just bookmarked this post, my goal is to post everyone's guesses in the future, because no one ever does unless they are correct BTW, I think of all the one's I've bookmarked, yours is more reasonable
BTW - this is exactly what I expected but was hoping you had some interesting approach. Unfortuantely I was right.
It is exactly my mindset change. Started to DCA in mid 2024, I remember back then the price was about $58k, I was - 1. checking the price constantly. 2. selling at $67k. 3. mood went down when the price drops to $53k. Then I started to get my mind under control and kept DCAing. Fast forward to today, almost 2 years later - 1. I have a decent bitcoin portfolio, definitely invested more than if it was just a few bets on bitcoin. 2. even with the weak bitcoin performance in the past few months (many even think it's bear market now), am still well above the water, indicating the power of DCA and HODL. 3. During the process, I've learned how to ignore FUD and all the noise. I've been listening to some imo good sources that help me keep faith in BTC and my DCA strategy. And recently, I noticed that I even started to ignore these positive sources too... it's like am in monk mode, all the up and downs, good and bad, am watching, observing, experiencing, with calmness. 4. Maybe I will sell a little at some point but am sure I will DCA more. My portfolio consists of BTC, gold, S&P 500 and cash, and I consider this portfolio to be my retirement fund and even pass to my kid so I am in absolutely no rush. BTW, recently I've been thinking about buying an ETF that consists of top tier non-US equities. Any recommendation?
Yeah, that last cycle was trash for sure but alot went into that. For instance, the crypto president was horrid for the sector, doing all those tariffs cleaned this market out like crazy. I think we need someone that doesn’t care about crypto or even looks to put a lot of restrictions on it. Seems like it does better under pressure, then it ever did with the government’s approving of everything involvement. So, once it’s all passed and a democrat gets back in, then it will likely see better days. Like remember how bidens admin hated crypto but its performance was way better under him. Even with trump the first time he didn’t care for it at all in 2017 and yet it had its greatest run ever. Also 13 was really good under Obama and he didn’t do much of anything to it or for it. So, I do think that plays a factor, since if the democrats push to have strict regulation again, then it can clean up the sector some. Maybe it could even get some of wall street to step out of it again, which could be good as they seem to be bad for it aswell. BTW with those projects unfortunately most of them never do all that well from cycle to cycle. I do think they are good enough to have done better in a better climate which hopefully we will see soon enough whenever that is
I think it is unfair to say that the free baseline is gone. It is now just 1800 free income. in general that means that the government is pushing for people to first save into saver assets and only then do risky stock stuff. I don't agree with how the government is doing this BTW, but to say that we did not have an unrealized asset gain tax before this is wrong. If we want more positive changes to taxing (like box 2 shenanigans being removed and scales in box3) we should probably be voting more left/centrist as a country since everyone from the VVD and parties more right wing than that don't want to fix that.
What did I just read? You brought in the fall and are already done? That is not even 6 months. You never read once anywhere before buying you need to be in for at least four years? Never? What you did was not invest but speculate or gamble. Regardless, you can sell it anytime for the CURRENT PRICE but I would not suggest buy high and sell low. No you can't sell it back for what you paid for it. WTF? BTW Anyone who said there is no dumb questions lied to you. You should not be "investing" in Bitcoin or anything else for that matter since you seem to lack basic knowledge about investing.
BTW... this is a very different asset! It's volatile. Manupalated.... So "people who dont know how to invest" is not that appropriate here. We are here to help each other...
And you are NOT the only one who feels this way now....LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO HAS REASONABLE INTELLIGENCE FEELS THIS EXACT WAY AND IS LITERALLY DUMPING THIS "CURRENCY OF THE PEOPLE" BITCOIN AS WE SPEAK.... DECENTRALIZED MY AZZ.....AND BTW DAN PENA WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID WE RUN FAR AWAY FROM BITCOIN ONCE THE TRUTH ABOUT ITS CREATION CAME OUT.... Sorry CryptoBros....its now BYEBYEBTC and thats coming from the NORMIES now...
Pure hopium. Bitcoin crashed, not dipped, because the market simply isn't interested now. Let's stop trying to find excuses, it's a bit pathetic. I'm a Bitcoin maxi, BTW, and I don't need to be convinced about BTC's value.
BTW watch the Bannon interview, he doesn't say it, but he had to have knowledge of the development of BTC and the goals he was trying to accomplish in finance, BTC was the answer.
Huh? But why bask in other people's misfortune? BTW, I bought in 2017 what I was able to lose. And I'm doing very well. But that's besides the point. Why be so aggressive towards people that invest in whatever they want?
I, for one, think that is a thorough and solid analysis. Bravo. BTW, most of my "crypto friends" are Democrats. Most of my idiot investor friends who have no Bitcoin are Republicans.
And BTW don't invest in crypto before the most basic fundamentals.
Look guys u guys have been buying BTC when it's price was low. So u guys don't care about the 50 or 80% crash. But i am a new investor. I am not here to pass BTC to my kids I am here to take 50-60℅ profits. BTW u guys really think BTC will hit 50 million 1 day. First let BTC hit 10 million. Then we can talk.2 days ago People were saying its going to 40k😂 this year.
BTW every major crypto has been getting smoked, so it’s not just a Bitty story.
You don't believe in Bitcoin if chasing some number for price. BTW what was wrong with the answers in the couple dozen posts with the same question in the last couple of weeks?
BTW, the lnbits man was Ben Arc (IIRC) on nostr. Not been on nostr recently, but if he's still there you might be able to chat to him.
BTW it's Michael Saylor's birthday. He wrote on his X account: "If you want to get me a birthday gift, buy some bitcoin for yourself." Did you buy? I did at 72k. Next purchase: 71k if it gets there.
I beg to disagree about the BTC performance bcz from $15k approx in mid 2023 to $125k in mid 2025 it has given returns like no other asset. During the last bull cycle everyone was expecting the ATH of max $90k but BTC surpassed the expectations. I don't know what was stopping you from taking profits at $125k zone. I would have withdrawn profits and cleared all my loans when BTC was made the ATH. BTW $35k average buy per BTC is impressive. Please take profits at the highest or else too much greed kills the profits. Good Luck 👍
Hows your daily rewards BTW? Did you restake it?
Diamond hands don't come cheap. learn, don't bet over your head, and in 4 years sit back and grin! OH YOU HAVE TO HOLD TO HOLD BTW!
50% of your fiat gains ? It seems you are misunderstanding how much is is you will have to pay ? If you buy 100 USD, bitcoin goes up, you sell at 125 USD, you will have 25$ worth of "gains", yet you will lose 25 % of your bitcoins, if it drops back to 100 USD you can rebuy the same amount of bitcoins and repeat? Where did you calculate that you need to wait that it drops 50%?, BTW in this scenario you are paying 12,5$ worth of tax
Well, it’s below $80K now. Don’t get greedy and use leverage. Now you know and have to live with the consequences. I’m afraid bitcoin will continue downward this year. If anyone thinks it’s a good idea to jump in to buy the dip, go ahead. I think there will be much better deals towards the end of the year. BTW, happy stacking 🤗.
>(BTW the weekly chart looks horrendous, check MA99) there it is, the MA99 (at least temporarily of course) broke in a dump just an hour later.
the problem is that BTC has failed at just about everything it was supposed to be and touted as. The store of value (that is why maxis have been pushing digital gold latelly: a safe haven in bad times) is just the last thing that is failing now (BTW the weekly chart looks horrendous, check MA99). again, what makes it a "digital gold" kind of store of value is that it performs in bad times. If we only go by the "but it pumped from 15 years ago!!!" then this is just the same like just about most shitcoin did. If we can equate BTC and let say DOGE (because BTC failed at everything else that it was suppose to be special) then BTC narrative is in a bad shape.
BTW, spelling (E)thereum, or Stable(coins) would get the post blocked by the Reddit filter.
BTW, how did you know about this staking platform?
The dollar keeps losing value against most assets, including burgers and French fries. So why the hell should crypto go down just because of some stupid four-year cycle? Crypto has to be better than that. The entire store-of-value use case is killed when it shits the bed even as the dollar loses a ton of value. We need crypto to look like a legitimate counter to precious metals. That means we don’t want to see 50–80% corrections every four years. I know it’s great for accumulating, but at what point does that hurt crypto more than it helps it? Gold and silver were slow movers for as long as Bitcoin has existed - until now. It’s moronic to wish for massive crypto corrections against the backdrop of metals, stocks, and even burgers sitting at all-time highs. Way to kill crypto’s attractiveness! BTW, I own both silver and crypto. I love what silver has been doing lately. I don’t like how crypto behaves as an asset. And since silver is harder to sell, I never want to see its price correct - I only want it to go up, up, up. That’s exactly what I want for crypto as well, because the dollar just keeps going down, down, down. I have zero interest in short-term trading. Most people lose money doing it.
Okay, so you're using AI to make an argument that systems that disincentivize bad behavior are better than those that prevent it. Can you actually argue how that is possible? BTW, POW already makes attempts at manipulation yield negative benefits to the attacker.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. Oh and BTW, what prompt did you use for this?
BTC $100k by end of the month. You've heard it here first. (NFA BTW)
Moat devs don't suck. Have you even tried programming? Their projects might be useless but the devs are capable. Think about Algorand and Avax, they devs are superb. The projects have little use. BTW meme coin creators are mostly not devs.
I agree. BTW, how long have you been staking on this platform and how's your experience?
I think you are right. BTW, they support multiple chains, so we have a lot options
My bank gives me 3%, and thats backed by my country if it fails. So theres that. BTW do you know what happens when a stablecoin depegs ? It usually does not peg back. And then you lose it all. And that risk is not worth that 1% to me. Heck it is not worth 4% either. Just get an MSCI world index fund. 10% yearly average since they were created. and it wont crater in the blink of an eye.
BTW, I warned that the HBAR scam was coming in 2019 and warned that his shitcoin would bleed to death since 2023. Only fools hold meme tech shitcoins long term. > Don't worry, *a new round of shitcoins will be coming with new hype. Soon people will be shilling about Cosmos, Polkadot*, **Hydera Hash**, *Fantom, Radix, etc.* Some of these other coins that are in the top 25 will be gone the way Stratis, Golem, MaidSafe, Bitshares, SingularDTV which were in the top 25 at this time in 2017. **(2019)** https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/bjohvq/daily_discussion_may_2_2019_gmt0/emd4p9j/ > And *like I predicted new shitcoin scams like Cosmos, Polkadot*, **Hydera**, *Fantom, etc did pump. And expecting these scams to be around in a few years is just as foolish as those people in 2019 who were expecting Stratis, NEO, IOTA, EOS, etc to be around* **(2023)** https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/17506yp/daily_crypto_discussion_october_11_2023_gmt0/k4ecz87/ > Shitcoins have rug pull tokenomics which are hidden by partnership and technology memes **(April 2023)** > - Avalanche 76 Million to 326 Million since 2020 (330% inflation in 2 years) > - **Hedera 6.6 Billion to 30 Billion (400% inflation in 2 years )** > - Algorand 1.1 Billion to 7 Billion (530% inflation in 2 years) > The irony is that people who invest in projects like this think Dogecoin's 4% yearly inflation is too high. These shitcoins last a cycle or two, see IOTA, ICON, OMG, etc, while something like Doge will continue to be around https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/12vattj/are_shitcoin_and_meme_coins_the_same_thing/jhatz9r/ > the market gives you indicators of who the sure losers are: **(2024)** > After being -90% since 2021 ALGO, ATOM, DOT, **HBAR**, etc ....are like another -50% since the beginning of 2024.

Extremely weird thing to say and everything was in good faith. More probable you're young and have had 0 insight into what we experienced. BTW I can still clearly see you are using GPT to respond 🤣
BTW Trump’s WLFI would get to keep all of the interest for themselves if USD1 doesn’t pay yield. I wonder why he supports the structure. Call his bluff and tell him to go ahead and pull support. No one wants this shit bill. 3 more years of unfettered adoption means banks will slowly bleed out.
BTW, to mitigate the risk of paying high spread (hidden fee on the exchange), you might want to buy through Limit Orders, as going that route you can decide your own purchasing price. Then all they can do is charge you a transaction fees, which should be visible while placing the order.
BTW being 100% Disabled and retired.. Crypto is considered an investment for my situation and therefore not considered taxable income. Not having to worry about the taxes is a huge relief.
Bitcoin is going up in all currencys bro.... im canadian BTW

That’s the ultimate HODL. Much like getting locked up in jail for a decade. BTW, it looks like Starlink is free if you have a receiver already so they’re not completely cut off.

And created far less. Cuban (who I am a fan of BTW) made his money during the dot come bubble by selling startups. None of them exist anymore. The other sharks have actually created things that still exist today.
Yep, like it shows on the left bottom of the image. BTW, I believe that CMC uses exactly the same source.
Money printer is about to run like old broken diesel engine, where leakage adds to thrust and only way to stop it is to put on 3rd gear (manual) and hit breaks. Or just wait for it to blow up. [https://youtube.com/shorts/O73G4RaTREU?si=-QomhboUm6zDEPH4](https://youtube.com/shorts/O73G4RaTREU?si=-QomhboUm6zDEPH4) BTW how do You do it with automatic gearbox?
If you are asking the question this way, no you should not. This is like being in Junior High Football and asking if you are ready to play for Alabama. Oh, BTW, you play Indiana University next week.
BTW...Maduro and his complicit corrupt wife were arrested by FBI agents who were flown in to Caracus on helicopters. This was a law enforcement operation, not a military incursion.
BTW there a a select few (maybe like 2) YouTubers that are actually worth a f***. The goat just retired so that number is shrinking…
BTW the peak of 2021 was 100% November ... Go take a look at the charts.
Well I'm not going to write and whole article and post it on reddit is not the place that. So calling that the title said. But FYI no everything is happening around USA. I talk about ETF because they got released at January 2024, BTW the biggest was GBTC before converting and now is Microstrategy having even more that GBTC used to have. Also 2024 was a bull year and everyone was calling 2025 to be the top because 4 years circle. Pick the context you like it more there is a lot.
OK... but here's the catch. Having this seed phrase backed up this way is pretty good in terms of being robust, especially with a secondary location. You're not going to forget or misplace it if you plan this out reasonably well. You might even keep one in a home fire-safe. BUT, your security is a bit weak, as anyone who happens to gain access could steal your Bitcoin. So, relatively high security risk. To compensate for this, you'll want to add what is known as a passphrase. This is an actual Bitcoin standard thing which combines with a seed phrase and adds extra entropy, generating a unique new private key, based on these two pieces of information. The downside.... a bit more complexity. You MUST have both the seed phrase (maybe in your safe), and this passphrase to access the wallet. However, this adds a bunch of security and flexibility. Now we can also stamp this passphrase into metal (it can be multiple words, or a character string similar to a password... like 12+ characters minimum... lowercase/uppercase matters, numbers, even symbols). Be sure you learn about passphrases enough to have basic understanding! But, this passphrase can be stored somewhere like a safety deposit box at a bank. Neither piece is good by itself, so someone robbing your home is out of luck with just the seed phrase. You could include instructions with that copy in the safety deposit box for a basic inheritance setup, as such boxes are turned over to family. You could even store the passphrase in a password wallet... just use caution here. Nobody might know it is a passphrase, and that's probably good. But, it won't be recognizable like a seed phrase on its own, so storing it digitally could be safe as a backup. (Kind of depends on if you want access to it w/o the trouble of going to the bank... not having access ups security in case of a robbery, for example.) Other benefits, too. Since you're adding in entropy, if the hardware wallet's seed phrase generation had any flaws, you've mitigated that problem. This setup also takes pressure off the security of the base seed phrase, so in certain situations, you don't have to be quite as careful with it (like, say you temporarily did need to go all digital, or non-metal in luggage for country-fleeing)... having this split info provides protection. BTW, the base seed phrase is a valid wallet... so you could put some amounts of Bitcoin there and use it as a form of decoy wallet, or indicator that base seed phrase ever got compromised. Hope this helps... a lot there, but with a bit of effort, this really isn't as scary as it looks. After you've done this and a few transactions, it won't be all that scary any longer. And, so long as you have learned enough to basically understand what is going on, you should be able to maintain it. Just keep learning and a bit of an 'ear to the ground' in terms of Bitcoin knowledge so you hear about security things or changes to Bitcoin protocol (if/when they happen).
I made a poll for the rest of the sub: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pzxl77/what\_is\_your\_expectaion\_for\_2026/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pzxl77/what_is_your_expectaion_for_2026/) Whose knows how many have sold. Maybe we need a poll of that. BTW I am bullish. I think the sellers will get exhausted quicker than 2022.
If there is no ATH in 2026, the 4 year cycle belivers are still vindicated because it topped in q4. But if we see an ATH in 2026 they are wrong. BTW sentiment has changed so much recently that most think 2026 is not bullish. Now is the time to buy. Us contrarians will win.
BTW THIS IS HUGE BUYING SIGNALS FOR ALT COINS, WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING DESPERATE! Just heads up to any smart people now even tho I usually just troll here.
It said credit-based right there? Bitcoin solves exactly this flow as it can be used as a dynamic balance sheet asset to prolong credit cycles and grow with inflation. That's exactly the solution that made it click for me. You should ask your AI model how banks can leverage Bitcoin to get more info on that. BTW: How would you answer OPs question?
Crypto is ONLY for money you can afford to lose. Its not a traditional investment. BTW, the S&P 500 is outperforming Bitcoin now. The days of getting rich quick with crypto are over.
As we speak, someone is ramping up gold and silver production. (great for the environment, BTW) As we speak, some smart kid is utilizing AI to build a company that disrupts the exploration/mining/refining industry. Study supply/demand response.
I've used Retoswap, a Bisq fork for Monero, to acquire Monero. I've often bought at market price and never above 1% markup. Yes, there are sellers offering worse prices, but you just wait for a better deal. BTW I usually find better prices buying Monero on Retoswap than buying Bitcoin on Bisq (I've never traded on Bisq, but have it on my laptop just because I was curious about it).
I think DCA works for bitcoin. But how many folks who bought at the top have the investing mindset instead of speculating to make some quick bucks? BTW, has anyone talked about the security budget problem in this sub? What’s the general sentiment here?
Like any good investor (read: not gambler), come back in 5 years. BTW, retail is never sidelined. You don't need to buy an entire Bitcoin to invest, just like stocks, just like gold. And FWIW, I'm not selling BTC for Gold. In fact, reading more and more that people are selling gold (now that it's ATH) for Bitcoin (which is not an ATH). The cycle is happening.
Your line is messed up BTW btc went all the way to 82k ish fyi
Well despite that fact it still did better than BTC this year. BTW I own BTC but this year sucked. I will continue to own it though.
Why not, BTC > ETH // Solana > shitcoins > memecoins. Because yes, no matter what people are saying, Solana is in the top 3 cryptos, like it or not. Now for long term, while BTC seems obvious, it really depends, because if you're staking your SOL, that's something like 7% APY, which is not bad at all. BTW inb4 the "solana is all about memecoins huehue", check Shopify, Revolut, Google Cloud BigQuery and Visa, for real case utilities.
Wait no, hold on. If all the treasuries get tokenized on there, then Canton "disappears" the US can claim 0 debt. I'm saying this half sarcastically BTW. But there's idiots that think this.
BTW, you can get it for just 51 USD with the code START15 (-15%). I was in their email list and got this code, so I think they forgot to turn it off. I have many miners and this one is my favorite, because, yes, the odds are low, but with enough time they rank up and it's much more affordable compared to alternatives. It is not like you're gonna win within 2 days. But it's gonna run for years on my desk, and one day... Hope this helps.
BTW, you can get it for just 51 USD with the code START15 (-15%). I was in their email list and got this code, so I think they forgot to turn it off. I have many miners and I must say this is by far the best way to get into the niche, because, yes, the odds are low, but with enough time they rank up and it's so cheap compared to alternatives. It is not like you're gonna win within 2 days. But it's gonna run for years on my desk... Hope this helps!
