This conversation is not about token prices or investments so I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, I'm not having another "my crypto is better than yours situation". Calling DeFi a “shitcoin casino” or Ethereum a “pure investment vehicle” completely misses the point. We started with “Ethereum is dead,” yet it powers a multibillion dollar DeFi world: stablecoin rails, tokenized assets, permissionless lending ecc... That's not a meme coin casino. Stablecoins as investments? That is like calling roads investments instead of infrastructure. Ethereum is a utility platform powering real economic activity, if you're only after price what's the point to even discuss anything.

> An Ethereum concept (L2) is now being shilled as Bitcoin’s future. Sounds like mETH Heads coping thinking BTC needs Ethereum and shilling a use case to dump for useless L2 Tokens among which EVERY single ETH L2 has been a token dump scam going way back to Omseigo, Raiden, etc. BTC has almost 10X the marketcap of ETH and is continuing to appreciate while ETH is shrunk to 2018 levels. What Ethereum does or doesn't do is not relevant to BTC as BTC continues it's overwhelming dominance over all crypto. Ethereum's value on the other hand has been completely dependent on BTC appreciation and with capital not leaving BTC with corporate and institutional investment, ETH's future is looking pretty bleak.
I majored in Finance. EVERY fiber of my educational background tells me BTC is a bad idea. And. I’m 90% allocated.
If these groups of large holders weren't dropping BTC into the exchanges the supply crunch would have already happened. EVERY time the price is bracing to skyrocket. Someone dumps a billion dollars worth of BTC into the exchanges. You can see on the inflow outflow chart for the exchanges. [https://i.imgur.com/zFzd0pk.png](https://i.imgur.com/zFzd0pk.png)
Please don’t post those $500k Bitcoin prediction articles. Every time I see them, it goes down. EVERY TIME
HELL YA! Same here! I dump EVERY penny I can scrape out from under the couch to throw into bitcoin!
I hear him. When I first started defi and bridging it was almost like it was designed to make you do multiple transactions; its not simple like it is today.... so during that time doing 3-4 transactions a day I once sent 100 usdc to an exchange that didnt support usdc, but added it 8 months later and it showed up. And then a few weeks later while I was tired I accidentally sent 8$ in atom to wrong address. Long story short I never gave up and today I don't bother with test transactions because I have my 'routes' memorized and copy and paste addresses directly from the wallet EVERY time and that covers my butt for 90% of mistakes.
"Base Is Stealing the Secret Sauce Keeping Solana Alive" https://x.com/digitalartchick/status/1912816301715685848 Base should have done this last year. Bitcoin has a massive branding lead over Ethereum. The only chance Ethereum has of catching up is to have a nearly perfect narrative. That means dominating in EVERY category of onchain activity. It should be aggressively seeking to be the premier location for any new onchain trend. If Ethereum leads in 5 out of 6 of the major types of onchain activity (e.g. DeFi TVL, Lending/Borrowing Volume, Smart Contract Interactions, Cross-Chain Bridge Activity, Real World Asset deployment), that is NOT enough. Being supreseded in one area of onchain activity threatens its narrative of having unassailable network effects. It must lead in transaction volume, token creation, and DEX trading volumes too.
The devs are minting billions of xrp every month to sell to cover "expenses" , it's insanity. BILLIONS OF USD EVERY MONTH.
EVERY chip has a flaw. Hardware wallet vendors are typically aware, but chip manufacturers are frequently pressured to not reveal flaws since the chips are frequently used in national security settings. You might want to look at a hardware wallet that uses multiple chips from different vendors. I believe the ColdCard does this.
I had the same reaction, I thought I was very proficient with OBS before this but when I found out you can feed Python scripts through it to control EVERY SINGLE THING in OBS automatically it blew my mind. Especially when I first ran the script.
Hey at least he picks a side. Forbes puts out a new article EVERY day that claims a huge price earthquake is just about to happen! They don't say up or down, just every day it's going to happen!!!! PRICE EARTHQUAKE!!!!
Tell me you have never read ANY 8K from Strategy (or any other company acquiring BTC) since they started acquiring Bitcoin without telling me. Hint: The disclaimer is in EVERY 8K they have filed. Go look it up for yourself. It's a DISCLAIMER you dipchips. Just like how BlackRock has to place the disclaimer about the 21mil BTC.
man, i tried to do the same. But got called a fud'ster. Sometimes u can't help those people, they just WANT to believe and refuse to see logic. the truth: EVERY SINGLE PUMP this president cause is gonna be followed by a dump. Not only he is manipulating the market for his own gains, but everytime it's barely anything of consequences. This pause in tariffs is proof. There is STILL 10% tariffs on the world & 100% on china. AS LONG AS he keeps interfering with the markets, they will tank. Once he stops, they will, MAYBE, start healing for real. now believe what u want ...
Look up how our evening had performed the last 40 years and you will see that EVERY time the economy was better under the Democrats. I'm not a fan of the democratic party, they are almost all bought and paid for just like the right. They are just the lesser of the two evils.
You've already been proven wrong. I'm not going ten rounds with your employees because you don't understand the merit in not having trusted setups, in not relying on the security of your protobuffer and USB communications, in not relying on an inability to read or manipulate voltage on the USB port. For fucks sake I know when the damn thing is plugged in just from a software context, it opens up all manner of opportunity for social attack including malicious firmware. As I said, the lot of you and your employees should be banned. You are dnagerous and self serving anti-security clowns. Have you ever noticed EVERY OTHER SECURITY EXPERT disagrees with you about air gaps? Again. I'm not for appeals to authority, but you are literally the only people - paid employees shilling a product - that EVER promote this anti airgap idiocy in this industry or any other. That should say something to you, when people have to be literally paid to campaign against this basic security practice. Shame. On. You. You are so goddamn lucky I don't moderate here anymore. Your propaganda deserves to be removed for the harm it causes.
Just found a YouTube video from January that predicted EVERY. SINGLE. THING so far this year. Not sharing it, it shall be my alpha.
Damn you guys can’t look further into the future than 3 months huh. What happens when the economy is shit with stuff like these tariffs? Ppl stop unnecessary spending obviously, and that slows the economy down. Which is not good. How does the feds help this? By having things like QE and rate cuts to entice ppl to spend again and stimulate the economy. Once economy starts ramping up again from money finally circulating through, things like tariffs can likely be ironed out and fair deals made. Either that or it becomes the new norm and ppl invest with their statistical higher amount of money anyway (global m2 at all time highs). So either they have more money from tariffs easing or they statistically have more money anyway so it evens itself out a bit. So what happens when ppl aren’t as scared of uncertainty, have lowered interest rates, and therefore more cash in a stimulated economy? Some of them set some of that money into investments, which trickles down to risk assets like crypto. This is how bull runs and alt seasons HAVE to happen EVERY time. You don’t get a big boom out of nowhere, it’s caused by a very poor time, efforts made to ease those times, and the rebounding of the economy and emotional sentiment slingshots the liquidity into investment assets which include crypto. Look at every cycle. Being at the start of COVID would you think we would have a big bull run? Fuck no. In hindsight it’s easy to see oh yuh we had stimulus checks duh! But before those were announced you would’ve thought bull run was over. But the same concepts apply to then. Shit economic state, government need to do something to stimulate the economy, so in that case they sent out stimulus checks. Idk about what interest rates were like at the time so I can’t speak on those though. This time around? The big things that will recover the economy are QE, rate cuts, all time highs M2 money supply, and uncertainty leaving as ppl either get used to tariffs or they are eased.
Unlike the US, Canada still has allies beyond Russia and North Korea broski. To think EVERY American is gonna be ok with troops “attempting” to cross that border. Imagine Iraq…but a larger country to hold with millions more people who dont want to be occupied. And you can’t just run away after 20 years.
Not for a second. It’s people who will take your rights away, versus people who actually want to make this country a better place. Biden tried 20 different times to pass legislation lowering the cost of education, drug plans, healthcare. And EVERY TIME, republicans voted against it. Or sent injunctions to court rooms to stop them from being implemented. AGAIN, what you complain about IS THE FAULT OF REPUBLICANS. You’re a fucking troll.
They literally do this EVERY month. And they sell some to institutions and the ones they do not sell gets locked back up in escrow.
I typically agree with your comments but not in this case. In areas where natural gas is prevalent, heating is a non-issue financially. However, EVERY apartment that uses space heaters or baseboard heating is FAR less efficient than even a handful of customized s9s at this point let alone something even more efficient like an s19, s21, or smaller sizes like the heat it or a diy hobby implementation. It's night and day between electric heating (1500watts of electricity being constricted in a coil to generate enough heat to keep your legs warm in an office setting) vs nat gas heating. For sure! But if nat gas isn't an option, Bitcoin is absolutely the solution in the vast majority of cases to heat your office at LESS of a loss than simply plugging in space heaters or baseboard heating elements. Also less of a fire hazard AND with modifications can be just as quiet with the bonus if kyc-free Bitcoin into your wallet. TLDR: More home mining is good. Kyc-free sats are delicious. Securing the Bitcoin network instead of wasting electricity heating to heat a small room is objectively superior.
Bitcoin is political. Don’t kid yourself. When it was affordable, I asked a financial advisor if it was a good investment. They said no and felt it was too risky, like ALL BANKERS AND FINANCE SPECIALISTS at the time. This was in 2020, when Bitcoin had begun its recovery. Fast forward to now, when I followed the advice and didn’t buy Bitcoin, and now EVERY FINANCE BRO and Republican huckster is shilling for Bitcoin, and it’s only affordable if you’re already loaded. Not to mention, propaganda tweets can change its price at any moment. Yes I know I’m bitter, but you’re kidding yourself if you think it’s not at all political.
I don't know if the bullrun is over or not but I do know EVERY bullrun, most people don't think the bullrun is over. This is why most people become bag holders. But look at November 9, 2021 when we were at the tippity top of the last cycle. The majority of people were still telling themselves that the market meltup still hadn't started and there was going to be a huge Alt Season at the end of 2021 to January 2022 just like end of 2017 to January 2018. > | | Nov. 9, 2021 | > |:-----------|------------:| > | BTC | $67,000| > | ETH | $4,700| > - We haven't seen the real euphoria phase of this bull run yet. > - Look at the 2014 bull run..then 2017... we haven't seen the real ride yet. The real 'blow-off top' I personally will get excited when I see vertical walls of green, walls that you need freaking climbing gear to get on top of those walls. > - Bullruns end in euphoria I agree 100%. > - I am totally agree with you. I think we are starting. Get ready > - Agreed. Every other bull run had weeks of crazy +30% kind of days and it felt like every day you didn’t throw in your life savings was throwing away free money. This has just been a fairly steady climb up in comparison. > - Great post! I always enjoy seeing these historical charts and comparing previous bull runs.

I have had it with these motherfucking dips. EVERY MOTHERFUCKING DAY!
Whatd he do this time? I swear it feels like everyone here is blaming EVERY drop on trump. Don't get me wrong, he fucked every market up with his tarrif on/off bullshit and strategic reserve pump tweets. But like everytime bitcoin goes down 1% everyone acts like trump tweeted something. Did he?
YES! That DEFINITELY happened! The Trump coin drained EVERY other project and wrecked the market with it's ENORMOUS market cap of (checks notes) 0.00074% of the total crypto market cap space! You are very intelligent!
Just sold my house, been putting every penny into bitcoin since 2017. I look at this dip as a bitcoin god blessing. EVERY PENNY.
BTC will go in to a bear market eventually like it has EVERY cycle. It drops 80% from its all time high. Buy it then when no one is talking about it. I bought a bunch when it was $20k and have been selling lately. Bought a new car, bike, computer etc. When BTC drops, which it mostly likely will, I’ll buy in again in an even bigger way. Be patient. Buy when it’s in a confirmed bear market and everyone is selling the BTC they bought at $100k.
I don't think so. But since there is someone explaining EVERY POSSIBLE OUTCOME, someone is going to seem to be correct.
Congrats OP, that is awesome. I want to shift your attitude a second. You had the vision to get involved in Bitcoin many years ago. You saved your seed phrase in a way your future self would find it. That is 100% your money and YOU DESERVE EVERY SATOSHI. On the rest, it depends on what jurisdiction you live in. If you are in the US, long term capital gains tax is very favorable (likely you will pay only State Tax unless you are cashing out over a 100k). And you won't have to think about that until next year's taxes anyway. My advice, transfer 5-10% out to your coinbase account and sell it. You earned that breathing room. Pay your rent, stock your pantry, and get yourself whatever it is you have been looking at your empty wallet and wishing you had money for (wardrobe, computer, car, whatever it is). Then decide what to do with the rest of your stash.
I only buy Manipulated assets XRP GME AMC SILVER.... all boats will rise... im here for the high tide LFG.... NEVER HAVE I BEEN MORE BULLISH ON EVERY ONE OF THESE ASSETS
I buy… EVERY SINGLE DAY!
except, as i said, if u read, i would agree with u if the economy & stocks were doing also bad last year. But employment, gdp, stocks AND EVERY ECONOMIC MARKER were doing great during Biden. Spy went though multiple ATH during his admin, as low employment numbers, as every other thing u can read about online if your interested. So the reason cryptos were doing bad were independant from political guidance. This time, EVERYTHING i just stated is correlated on the downside. Hence your can link it together.
The fact that EVERY SINGLE HOLDER IS IN LOSS
Why do FUDdy doomsdayers come crawling out of the woodwork every bull market thinking that they're Michael effing Burry... I guess that's why bull years are always so choppy, were you even there when the Bitcoin hard fork was happening in 2017 OP and everyone said it was dead. Crap like this happens EVERY CYCLE. I'm sick of all these noobs whose only crypto investment was a stupid free cheque from the US government during a pandemic. Just get over it and get out. So annoying. Happy for you to be a bag-holding slug, just do it in silence.
It’s the LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE OTHER THING FIRST BEFORE CRYPTO crypto summit. Woo
Sorry lil bro but EVERY exchange tells you to not risk money you can't afford to lose when you're signing up.
You re in the twat zone for the EVERY SINGLE STATE OWNED COMPANY IN THE WORLD🤡
Nacho keys nacho coins needs to be reinforced EVERY cycle
If you think $4 billion is a lot, think of it this way: The US gives away $4 Billion to israel EVERY SINGLE FUCKING YEAR! For free!
You are fundamentally looking at a slice of the equation, i.e. the market conditions recently. The zero sum game is the total game, the full lifespan of the stock from inception to death, and all it's players. When the game is done, when you add up gains and losses it's 0. For something like BTC, the game is obviously on a much longer time scale, maybe that'll be a million years, who knows? For something like DJT, the game was like 4 months, it's easy to look at and see how it was played. For EVERY trade though, there are 2 equal sides (simplified obviously), but at the end of the day it's a balanced equation.
maybe? They definitely like using it for rug-pulls. And they know all regular world currency is susceptible to the money printer. And EVERY scifi story has future people using 1 central currency that has limited production. Theres no reason a crypto cant be that future scifi currency, assuming it has a limited supply.
This gets asked a lot, you’ll find more answers by searching old posts, but here’s my case: Back in the day I saw it as more of a gamble. I didn’t see any value in it. I was convinced to buy it by a comp sci friend who had heard of it right from the get go and was super enthusiastic. I was an Econ and Poli Sci double major and all of my university “knowledge” screamed at me in my head that I was being a huge dumbass. I felt sick for a whole week at least after my first buy in the run up to $100. Panic sold mid bull run on several cycles, but luckily I always bought back in on the lows, initially doubting myself EVERY single time. Around 2018 crash life got busy and I just Hodled and forgot about it. By the time I checked mid pandemic I nearly had a heart attack. But even then, I don’t push bitcoin on anyone. I would consider myself to be a super lucky case. I would not and did not put all my eggs in the bitcoin basket either. I bought stocks and real estate as well. Those were lower return in the end but at the same time they were a safer investment from my viewpoint at the time of purchase. Plus the real estate I’ve been able to live in or run businesses out of, or lease out. Do I look back and ever regret not putting more in bitcoin? Nope because hindsight is always 20/20!
Welcome to crypto. NOBODY MAKES MONEY IN CRYPTO, WE JUST TRY AND LOSE A LITTLE LESS EVERY CYCLE.
At the very least, be sure to hold it over their heads at EVERY opportunity. And if they ever make a comment about needing something, make sure to say WELL I WOULD LOVE TO BUY IT FOR Y'ALLS IF ONLY I HAD THAT 150 MILLION DOLLARS I WOULD'VE HAD IF YOU HADN'T TALKED ME OUT OF IT. But in all seriousness, it's still your own fault for letting them talk you out of it, you could've still done it without their blessing and then rubbed it in their face until they died.
Total cash grab from EVERY grifter in crypto that has the pockets to buy him Bitcoin is the only thing that doesn't need to buy it's way on Oh wait, there is no central authority for Bitcoin, that's right! It's not a fucking shitcoin
What the fuck? We have to listen about how shitty Trump is in EVERY corner of our lives because some people don't like him? He won the presidency and popular vote loser, over half of the country wanted him there, no one wants to spend their entire day in every hobby and aspect of their life reading about losers crying about the president. Holy shit fuck you people just so god damn much the biggest loser crybaby energy ever seen.
To put $19 billion into perspective: the US sends $4 billion in free money to Israel EVERY year. So $19 billion in BTC is really nothing. We could save money by cutting $4billion to israel.
I dont know???? Never heard of a vbyte man. its 4 KB and thats CLEARLY what theyre basing my fee off of. The issue is EVERY OTHER TRANSACTION ive made is around 150 BYTES. This is 25x that size for no reason!!!! How are people not understanding what Im saying My fee was set as the slowest fee available on BlockExplorer's website where they show a "slow" "standard" "fast"
Speak english please. Why the actual fuck is the file size 4kb when EVERY OTHER TRANSACTION IVE EVER MADE IS 150 bytes or less?
30% dips are highly likely EVERY SINGLE BULLRUN. stop hitching about it and buy
They update their bitcoin holdings EVERY FUCKING DAY, you stupid dumb fuck. They are legally obligated to. God damn, im too tired to do some research for you, but here is a chatGPT response. Please arugue with "him" if you disagree. Fuckin hell: Purpose bitcoin - do they have a legal obligation to show how much bitcoin they own? I thought i read that. ChatGPT said: Yes, Purpose Bitcoin ETF (BTCC) and other regulated Bitcoin ETFs have a legal obligation to disclose how much Bitcoin they hold. Why? Because regulated financial products (like ETFs) must provide transparency to investors. In the case of Purpose Bitcoin ETF: Daily Holdings Disclosure Purpose Bitcoin ETF publishes its daily Bitcoin holdings on its website. Investors can see exactly how much Bitcoin is backing the ETF. Third-Party Custody The Bitcoin is held in cold storage by a regulated third-party custodian (such as Gemini or Coinbase Custody). This prevents mismanagement or fraud like what happened with FTX. Regular Audits & Compliance Since it's a Canadian-regulated investment fund, it is subject to financial regulations and audits. It must prove that it holds the Bitcoin it claims to have. Why This Matters Unlike unregulated platforms like FTX, Purpose Bitcoin ETF can’t fake balances or lend out your Bitcoin without disclosure. Investors own a share of real Bitcoin, not just an IOU. If the ETF had fewer Bitcoin than reported, it would be fraud, and regulators would intervene. This is why ETFs are considered a safer way to get Bitcoin exposure than using unregulated exchanges.
Bitcoin doesn’t have the massive pullbacks like alts. BTC should be every crypto holders core position. The goal is generally to increase your btc holding. I personally agree with you about alt coins but there’s a few things to consider. 1. You have to be in the crypto markets following the news EVERY SINGLE DAY to profitably build an alt coin heavy portfolio. 2. You *must* buy low and take profit at the highs (this is hard to do) 3. You also need to educate yourself on crypto. Network architecture(s), supply release schedules, blockchain sleuthing, etc It’s possible to do well with alts but it’s a journey and you have to open your mind to really understand crypto if you want to be successful.
Let's see. 1. Pick a nation. 2. Find out how much money that nation has issued. This is harder than you'd think, since money comes in so many forms. It's not just paper and coin, but also reserves, deposits in demand accounts, savings accounts, money market funds, institutional accounts, etc. Research "money supply measures" and learn about the definitions of "narrow money", "broad money", M0, M1, M2, etc. 3. Decide what the nation's risk tolerance should be for moneyholders demanding redemption of their money in gold. Does the money need to be backed 1:1 with stockpiles of gold in its depositories equal to EVERY LAST DOLLAR in circulation in order to maintain the public's confidence? Or is it okay to have a lower reserve requirement--say, 50%, or 25%, or 10%--if the government believes moneyholders, collectively, will NEVER demand that the government redeem more than that amount. (If they did, the remaining money in circulation would immediately be recognized as worthless, because who would trust gold-backed money once it had been proven that the gold had run out?) 4. Multiply the amount of money in circulation by the reserve % you believe is necessary to maintain confidence in the nation's money. 5. Divide that amount by the current price of gold. 6. Acquire that much gold ... somehow? If possible, do it quietly, or you'll likely send the price of gold sky high, making it that much harder to secure your gold reserve.
It's crazy how as-a-matter-of-fact people are. No one knows shit. Also, April-October (12-18 months post halving) will be the run according to EVERY halving.
Oh, sorry. I thought I was talking to OP. Not everyone is left or right. I am a centrist. EVERY party has their propaganda. I focus on common sense, freedom, and the constitution. I look at charts, I read the information, I see what has been happening. There has to be hard times to get back where we should be. Small government, less debt, more freedom. If you're against that, maybe look inside at what you believe and why.
Meteora is one of the main launchpads for new coins on Solona. It's where they originate. Snipers know how to set up bots on meteora so that they buy a shitload of every new coin released, because enough of them end up going higher than what they were released at. So any new project gets sniped by these guys and dumped later. Therefore EVERY new release is pump and dump, regardless of it the owners did it or not. This guy's cope is that because he knew someone else would snipe his project anyways, he sniped it first to get those coins in "the good hands" first, if yoh believe that.
Tell "somebody" to read a book on logic. Bitcoin is the most secure network in the world. The amount of compute power to break the encryption used to secure the network is beyond normal human comprehension. The numbers are literally bigger one can imagine. Quantum computing is in its infancy. Yes technology moves fast, but the difficulty we are talking about is several orders of magnitude greater than current capabilities. To the logic part. When Quantum computing strong enough to break bitcoin is created: 1. Bitcoin can be soft forked and upgraded. 2. EVERY other computer network in the world is FUCKED 3. This type of computing power would be akin to the US getting the A-Bomb. It would be a geopolitical weapon of immense proportions. Tell "somebody" to buy some bitcoin.
This is good. Throw GRT on there and "TEAM IS SELLING BILLIONS EVERY YEAR"
I ask every Trump supporter how this isnt blatant corruption. EVERY single one of them out right dodge the question and go silent. Point out that 80% of its supply is held by him directly and its fucking crickets from the right. Hypocritical fuck twats every last one of them.
So what your saying is that it is impossible to create another cryptocurrency like BTC? Or that the BTC network was quite literally created to perfection so that there’s NO POSSIBLE WAY that any entity could fork/clone it and add a feature that would make it better protected for the future as technologies change and adjust? Bc that would be a far leap. Also, your talking about governments. But was crypto created for the government or for the people? So yea, POSSIBLY BTC would be the only crypto that many governments would adopt RIGHT NOW, but then that’ll lead to further regulation by all these governments. But what if the people wanted something that the government didn’t fully control and was for the people (this is why crypto was created). Furthermore, as a tradable asset, btc will likely become less alluring to traders at a certain point when it loses most of its volatility. So you think that newly created trading market will vanish? Highly doubt. So you see, EVERY alt going to zero eventually and there ONLY being BTC left is kinda…not to likely. People are always wrong when they hold the position that there’s only 1 way to do anything in life. So your boxing yourself in a corner it seems (but PURELY just my opinion…and no doubt you have more knowledge on the inner workings of the crypto sphere than I…no doubt). So take my comment with a grain of salt I suppose.
Why are Reddit mods such losers EVERY time lmao
His defense of insider trading is that EVERY memecoin launcher engages in insider trading, including in the $TRUMP launch. Wow, way to normalize a crime.
Basically UTXOs are Bitcoin transactions. In time, as adoption rates continue to increase worldwide, transaction fees will increase. Many reasonably predict that they will increase to the point that smaller purchases (UTXOs) won’t be worth transferring in order to sell because of how expensive it will be to transfer out of cold storage. To answer your second question, it’s necessary to understand one of the main reasons Bitcoin was created. Articulating this point will be difficult, but I’ll give it a shot… Your money in a bank is not in your control, ultimately. If the government or your chosen banking institution decides that they want to garnish your wages, withhold funds or debank you (yes, it’s a thing) all together, it is absolutely within their rights to do so. In addition, institutions lend against YOUR money. They profit on the money YOU worked for and earned. You see none of those profits. Exchanges through which you can buy and sell bitcoin must comply with state and federal laws, meaning that if the government decides to take your bitcoin for any reason, they can and they will. Your exchange MUST comply or they will face criminal charges. So what happens when exchanges start issuing “paper” bitcoin? ..aka, lending against your bitcoin? Just like dollars during the Great Depression or even the bank runs in 2023, when everyone decides they want their wealth preserved because their chosen institution has over-leveraged themselves, they can’t pay back the money to their customers because they don’t have it. Bitcoin was DESIGNED to be self custodied by individuals, held exclusively by those that own it, specifically in order to protect their wealth from a debt based monetary system that favors institutions above private citizens. You might think, ‘well, I have nothing to worry about. I haven’t done anything wrong, so my wealth held in financial institutions is perfectly safe’. To that I say, fucking bullshit!! People literally are being debanked simply because they bought Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency. It is really important that you DYOR on these topics. Remember, Bitcoin is technically and inherently deflationary in nature. We, by definition, live in an inflationary monetary system. The U.S. is current at $36T of debt!! The inflation and crazy government over spending is exactly what got us there. To the average citizen, $36T, $400B, $$607M are just numbers and they don’t see the importance of understanding these concepts. That’s because we are economically and monetarily illiterate. We were NEVER taught any of this in school. No, economics courses don’t cover this stuff. No educational curriculum cover these issues. We are in a sinking ship. Is the dollar out performing every other legal tender on the planet? Yes. But that’s just because we pegged every economy on the planet to the dollar after WWII and just compared to itself , it loses purchasing power every year, by a base minimum of 2%. Many suspect a hell of a lot more than that now. It’s not the cost of things going up that breaks your wallet. It’s the value of your dollars going down. DYOR on Austrian Economics VS Keynesian Economics. You will find that we are in a sinking inflationary ship, historically, like EVERY OTHER MONEY that has ever existed. Why? Simply put, because of the greed of those in power and their ability to manipulate the value of our money supply. As Bitcoin increases in value and the dollar continues to decrease in value (as it always has), legislation will be passed to disincentivize people from owning Bitcoin. To be clear, the USD is a sinking ship. It would be sinking whether or not Bitcoin ever existed. Bitcoin is a life boat that has performed mathematically superior to any other investment in history, barring land grabs. So you asked, is a cold storage wallet really necessary? My answer is, OMFG! ..Absolutely!! But, just like building your conviction to stack Bitcoin and hodl it, you must DYOR all of the topics I’ve touched base on. Truthfulhly, I’ve so much more to say, but at the risk of saying so much that it is overwhelming. The true answers to these seemingly simple questions, reside in hours upon hours of DYOR. I encourage you to get onto Twitter/X and plug into the Bitcoin community on there. IMHO, this is a rare, once in a generation opportunity to be part of the largest wealth transfer of this century. If you do hop on this boat, it’s right on time. And remember, we all get Bitcoin at the price we deserve. ***THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE*** …only my personal take on these issues
Hardware wallets are ideal. They enable you to produce and sign transactions online while keeping your private key offline (backed up on paper and/or steel plates). The next best alternative is a cold storage wallet, but it is a lot more DIY work to ensure your private-key is NEVER exposed to the internet (!!!) After you've set up your first wallet, but before you deposit a cent. Delete everything. Oops, gone forever!...Just kidding. Now you have to manually recover it. This step is crucial and best-practice for long term holding. If you can't recover your wallet after the fact, read more, learn how this all works, and try this over again. Once you can recover your wallet from a piece of paper, without any files or software to aid you, then you're ready to start using it. If you skip this step, you will always have doubts if your crypto is really there or safe, or worse, you won't be able to recover it at all because your physical backup has an error in it that you missed. Nothing can be done over if you make an error, so always measure five times and cut once -- all responsibility falls on you. Once you have wallet recovery figured out, start looking for better physical-copies to keep around than a piece of paper, like stamping your seed into washers strung on a bolt in your ceiling, something with steel since it's fire-proof. Bitcoin uses a UTXO model for all its transactions. If you're DCA or continually investing over the long-term, as opposed to lump sum investing all-at-once for the long-term, I highly recommend you learn how UTXO works now ... In short, each time you deposit BTC into an address it creates a new 'unspent' transaction. When you withdraw from these addresses in a lump sum, called sweeping, you must pay a blockspace fee that covers all of your unspent transactions together. If you deposit $1 one-hundred times and the deposit fee is $0.50 each time, to withdraw $100 that withdrawl fee will be another $50 roughly. It is extremely wise to 'sweep' all of your 100s of small transactions into 1 main address whenever fees are unusually-low, versus doing what everyone else does and waiting for BTC to be at ATH along with its blockspace fees to be at ATH before doing your final-sell-off. It is also wise to DCA in larger lumps than $1-2 trickled in at a time. A little foresight can save you $100s on fees with UTXO. Just look up 'how to sweep BTC UTXO' if this isn't clear, and 'Bitcoin Transaction Size calculator' to estimate fees. I always suggest using whichever exchange is most reputable *in your country*. In USA that's likely Coinbase (publically traded) and Kraken. In the EU the answer will be different. In Canada the answer will be different. In Brazil the answer will be different. Use whichever exchange is based in your country, so if SHTF you have legal recourse to go after them -- likely at no-cost as part of a class-action (that you won't be eligible to be part of if it's across any border). If you have the luxury to have multiple reputable exchanges to choose from all within your borders, then spend a few minutes determining which has the lowest fees and spread for buying 'and' selling. You'll want multiple exchange accounts set up before the time you sell because if you wait for a unicorn-ATH to sell, your go-to exchange might (honestly, will likely) be offline from DDoS/congestion and the next exchange may take several weeks to find the time to approve your new account by then -- costing you 10-20-30-50% in lost profit by then too. Treat any exchange like the disgusting public washroom they all are. You have business to do - get in, do it, and GTFO. You do not want to linger in there a minute longer than necessary. It wasn't 5 years ago that EVERY exchange would rob their customers and disappear into the abyss. A few persisting this long is absolutely a new thing for crypto, but in no way implies they're safe. Don't tell anyone how much you own, either, or that you own any at all. For obvious reasons. Unless you have security holed up in your house 247, it's not worth the bragging rights to potentially get beat over the head with a $5 wrench. You never know who you're talking to. Everyone and their dog will want your BTC; don't click links, don't type your key on your computer or especially in any website, don't trust anyone who says they can make you rich, don't fall in love online with a pro trader, they're ALL scams... Keep your head and plan for edge cases now so when they come up you aren't panicked for time and emotional in your decisions. Some nuances you'll figure out. It's really not difficult at all. For the most part just read up on the risks so you don't fall straight into them, and you'll do fine.
>Banks won’t all run their own private blockchains because it would be incredibly COSTLY and COMPLEX to maintain interoperability across thousands of institutions worldwide. To replace Nostro/Vostro accounts entirely…EVERY bank would need direct blockchain connections with every other bank they transact with resulting in an unmanageable number of blockchains. Unmanageable. Chainlink does this across 25+ chains. Banks are already running their own chains. As i said in my post above. It isn't speculative. My thread is not about bitcoin. Its about chainlink and XRP.
It’s important to clarify some of your misconceptions regarding XRP and Chainlink’s roles in cross border payments. While Chainlink’s Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol aims to facilitate interoperability between different blockchains, it DOESN’T directly address the liquidity challenges inherent in cross border transactions. XRP, on the other hand, is designed as a bridge currency to provide on demand liquidity, reducing the need for pre funded Nostro/Vostro accounts. Regarding the XRP Ledger’s recent outage, it’s true that the network experienced a temporary halt in block production for about an hour. This incident was due to a breakdown in communication among validators, leading to a network-wide drift. However, such occurrences are rare, and the network has mechanisms to recover without loss of assets or transactions.  While some banks are exploring private blockchain solutions, the idea that every bank will operate its own chain is speculative. The financial industry is still evaluating the most efficient and secure ways to implement blockchain technology. It’s also worth noting that Ripple has been actively engaging with financial institutions to promote the adoption of XRP for cross border payments. both XRP and Chainlink offer unique solutions for improving financial systems, but they address different aspects of the process. It’s ESSENTIAL to understand these distinctions when evaluating their roles in the evolving landscape of digital finance. Banks won’t all run their own private blockchains because it would be incredibly COSTLY and COMPLEX to maintain interoperability across thousands of institutions worldwide. To replace Nostro/Vostro accounts entirely…EVERY bank would need direct blockchain connections with every other bank they transact with resulting in an unmanageable number of blockchains. Unmanageable. A bridge asset like XRP simplifies this by enabling real time liquidity without the need for pre funded accounts or direct blockchain integrations between banks. While Chainlink’s interoperability solutions are useful for connecting blockchains, they don’t address Bitcoin’s fundamental limitations as a payments network. Bitcoin’s (which I’m sure your thread is about) slow transaction speeds, high fees during congestion, and LACK of native smart contract functionality make it impractical for large scale institutional transfers. Chainlink may improve cross chain messaging…but it doesn’t solve Bitcoin’s scalability or efficiency issues in a way that makes it competitive with purpose built financial settlement networks like XRP Ledger. The world is moving to useful utilities.
Don't overleverage. Always set stop losses for EVERY TRADE.
I have tons of twitter/X screens for everything claimed here. In argentina most of politicians have callcenters for social media that are 24/7 on pushing the agenda of the politicians. In this case EVERY SINGLE OF THOSE TROLL ACCOUNTS WERE ON A 14 FEBRUARY AT 11PM TO PUSH THIS SCAM. There was a full coordination, they deleted tweets and pushed topics at the same time in each phase of the happening. THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF THEY WERE AT THE PHYSICAL PLACE, if it was in other way that wouldnt be that synchronized since They would need to stop writing tweets to look at/open a message app.
Jump off, immediately, in the middle of the ride/flight. That ALWAYS works out for the best... EVERY TIIME.
This is just the beginning. This technology is the first time humanity has ever experienced this digital eqiuvalent of physical ownership. Technology where an item can be created with unchangable properties. Bitcoin is the first and most decentralised, rapidly rising hashrate, 50k+ nodes, cementing its unchangability and resiliance. You can transfer wealth from A to B permissionlessly, without a corporation in the middle. That's its utility, and it will always be required, the digital equivalent of handing someone a physical coin. No bullshit no questions asked transfers. No bullshit unchangable hard-cap. Quantum computers are still a ways away from cracking ECDSA and SHA256 (an address which has never been spent from is protected by both of these - a 'spent from' address is protected by ECDSA only). When these are cracked so is encryption of the entire internet. We will see a revolution. Quantum computers breaking Bitcoin is not something to be feared, it's something to be excited about. The blockchain can be restored from a date prior to the incident, where there will be hard-forks with quantum resistant algorithms. There will no doubt be multiple coins proposed as the 'new Bitcoin', and there will be a battle for dominance. Everyone who holds their own keys; their own coins will receive their wallet balance on EVERY hard-fork. Any coins held on an exchange, or if you're in the ETF, those most definitely will not. So stack sats, self-custody your own coins. It's going to be a wild ride.
There's a rare Crypto called CZLumen that a guy made to rival Bitcoin and the USD, it's on the Ethereum chain and no markets at the moment. The best time to buy crypto is before it hits the markets so you can sell when it spikes then rebuy when it hits the floor after. Bitcoin will always go up and down. If you buy Bitcoin, you can almost bet that you can sell higher than you paid for it. Meme coins are a great way to experience the highs and lows of life. Crypto is a safe investment. Everyone will be using it soon and with so many coins to choose from you can collect them all! Telegram channels are the best place to learn about where to get the best deals and who to trust (DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS.) Women are very impressed by the size and depth of crypto wallets. If you can show your coin base account holding hundreds of different coins with lots of high numbers, they will be hooked. Once you show her this, brag about your DPS in World of Warcraft, Eve Online or Albion Online for big score energy. 1% of the time, it works, EVERY time. Dice are a good predictor of stocks and crypto. Every morning, roll a d6. 1 means to sell it all for something else, 6 means to buy as much as you can. Adjust for middle numbers. 3 and 4 are to either sell or buy just a little. The goofier the meme coin, the greater the value will be eventually. The more vulgar meme coin, the more volatile it'll be.
Amen! When you buy bitcoin through Bitcoin Well, we AUTOMATICALLY send bitcoin to your self-custody wallet EVERY SINGLE TIME! Self-custody should be automatic. Bitcoin is either in your custody or someone else's – we prefer the former!
AI is potentially a bubble if it’s overvalued. But I wouldn’t compare it to the Dotcom bubble. Doing so would be an oversimplification of similarities. From what I’ve read, there was pretty much zero demand for any of the websites in the Dotcom bubble. It was pure speculation. The infrastructure didn’t exist yet, internet speeds were shit and people were still on dialup. That’s why it collapsed so badly. I don’t know about you but I’m using AI DAILY. I’m using it EVERY DAY, and I find it incredibly useful. There is a high demand for the actual products/services in AI. It’s only a bubble if valuations start way too far from reality. But it’s not the same as the Dotcom bubble where there was no real use/demand for the proposed products.
Regulation off chain is ALWAYS a bad idea in EVERY form. If they want to regulate, let them figure out an on-chain way to do it.. Build a 'govt approved' smartcontract that can spawn meme coins, that has safety in place, set buy periods, transparent holder maps etc. If people want to use 'non-approved' meme coins no problem. They can do that. But provide a safe 'space' for new people to participate on chain. That's the way it has to be.
breathe brother- this happens constantly - i've recovered EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL on crypto with patience
Lightning transactions take a fraction of a second. And yes Lightning *is* Bitcoin. EVERY Lightning Tx is literally a pre-signed Bitcoin Tx.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RncK73kM\_FM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RncK73kM_FM) Lots of FUD on EVERY wallet!! I want to REALLY find out the best between TREZOR 5, Bitbox01, ColdcardQ and BlockStream Jade.
Omg look at historical charts ALL CRYPTO DIPS EVERY FEBRUARY... HODL..... This isn't for amateurs you wait for the bounce back. What else should you do sell at a further loss? Again refer to charts this shit is like a heart monitor capturing a heart attack. If you can't handle the gamble don't play the game homie.
Interesting… February 3rd was the last day BTC price increased with US markets opening. This past week the market dropped EVERY TIME at the exact moment Burgers started trading. Love you Asia and Europe.
Just curious, are you waiting and hoping to buy at the top? Why are you so concerned with how high projects reach right now instead of enjoying the benefit of being able to accumulate during a bull market. Side note, EVERY bull market has had significant corrections and dips to buy, why would this year be any different?
That's only because price is going up in USD value. Unfortunately, this also makes the security budget-to-total value ratio even worse. As price goes up, if transaction fees don't go up proportionally, it will become more and more profitable to attack Bitcoin. That's been the pattern EVERY cycle.
EVERY protocol has a cross-chain bridge at this point. Lmao.
We are likely in the bear trap. Many crypto positive things going on in the world, so bullish in fact you wouldnt believe it 5 years ago is someone told you this is the current state of crypto on a global scale. We have had a good mark up phase after NOV last year, and now a heavy drawdown. Institutions and market makers (the ones who run this show) are buying while retail panic sell. Riddle me this ok, why in the flying fuck would the poeple who control this game, be HEAVILY buying into the market if it was over? They are smarter than you, me, all of us combined and have even more money than us combined. Big market corrections happen EVERY cycle, youre not important enough for markets to change just as have your first cycle. It will be the same, becuase the reason it has been the same before is because the people who control the game (whales and market makers) can make consistent predictable money from stupid retail who's entire market sentiment can 180 in less than 2 months haha. Its like converting a lifetime catholic, to a satanist in 2 months, doesnt that make u feel stupid for flip flopping your sentiment? Markets will recover after whales are done washing out the idiots who throw a fit whenever markets correct, youre welcome
Im a 3rd year computation neuroscience PhD Student / candidate. Been studying the actual theoretical math behind the crypto space since 2016. Not just some crypto dev. That being said, I agree 95% of things are trash, but that’s the same as all new major sectors in the world. I do urge you to look into polkadots JAM upgrade. I have spent 100’s of hours reading Gavin Woods Gray paper outlining the math of the upgrade. And it is not some random upgrade, it is the solution to almost all major problems plaguing this industry right now. Let me explain JAM: Polkadots current architecture has many flaws, which the JAM upgrade solves in my opinion. Polkadots technology itself is a masterpiece. Allowing for the hosting of entire blockchains, and granting them full access to secure validators and a guaranteed cross chain message protocol. But all good technology isn’t perfect on the first try. This design was plagued by the latency (6-15 seconds) when wanting to send messages across different chains. And the inability for developers to launch simple dapps on the main Polkadot network, you could only launch full blockchains. But JAM fixed all this and more. It made cross chain messaging near instant 5-50ms. By splitting the main Polkadot network into 341 equal and parallel pars called cores. Each core has their own fully guaranteed state, and can submit to the main state if they wish, but do not have to. Meaning Polkadot basically is now 341 parallel execution machines Another major thing is that JAM now allows Polkadot to host and execute EVERY single smart-contract language that currently exists, or will ever be created. And they can all communicate with eachother. I would explain more if you would like.
EVERY regime thinks its doing good deeds, at least for its own people. The doing good narrative is necessary to motivate large societies. Any society will decline and fall, if all of its members hate it. This is one of the bases of propaganda. The more innately evil a society is, the more it needs to advertise its story of its greatness.
Once we get to the point of learning about BTC where wedon't want to own anything else, it's a big relief tbh. Fiat price goes up and fiat price goes down. Meh. The only thing we need to know is that 1 BTC=1 BTC and they will eventually run out at EVERY price.
Yep we gave up all control :) Soon the gov will implement regulations on EVERY exchange to collect all user data. But at least price going up short term…

not EVERY youtuber but ok
You think the rich don't try to monopolize "EVERY" sector if they could. Sorry to tell you this - they do and will even try to monopolize AI - which is in early stages. Why do you think bitcoin will not get monopolized? Between Blackrock and Micro-Strategy they have about 1,000,000 bitcoin, including other big hands, the RICH probably hold 20% of bitcoin. Correct me if I am wrong! I read somewhere, a shareholder could control a company with just 14% holdings. Microsoft was like that when Gates and his sidekick had about that, but little people still bought Microsoft shares. And the little guy profited? I don't get your point. Just an opinion for discussion purposes!
NOW ELON WANTS ALL US TRANSACTIONS TO BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE? LIKE THE US ENEMIES CAN JUST GO TO A WEBSITE AND SEE EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THE TREASURY IS SPENDING? Holy fucking god dude.
Same as ever. Just invest money you don‘t need to touch. Always Hold, never sell. Buy whenever it dips and you can afford We see all time highs at least every 4 years. Meaning that EVERY person who holds BTC at that point has profit..
So, everything you said is false. On a Bitcoin standard, fiat is entirely unnecessary. Do you cut hair? Do you grow cattle? Do you install roofing? People need food, shelter, and luxuries. As more people come into the work place, demand increases for the finite unit of account. More demand + same quantity in circulation (minus lost wallets) = deflation. A finite resource with an ever increasing demand doesn't change the fact that people need stuff. But that stuff better have more value than the unit of account spent on that stuff. This doesn't stifle growth, it forces ingenuity to outpace the increase value of that finite resource. In our current system, the paper fiat scam is a hot potato you have to dump as fast as possible. So EVERY worker is forced to invest in garbage they doesn't want or need just to hold their purchasing power over time. And the garbage has to outpace the rate of growth the fist is printed at.
Whales manipulate everything IN EVERY FINANCIAL MARKET
