The more imminent the DANGER, the more creaky and fragile the bridge, the more tenuous and ancient the ropes and pins that hold it together, the more dollars I risk in it. And I am WAY in the black.

IndependentSpeck

I recommend Coldcard Q for all serious investors. If you keep the batteries separate, the thing will never cause you concern as you currently have. Also, it's got all the bells and whistles. If you have a stack you really want to protect, it's technically better in every way as compared with Ledger. Trezor's good, but you have to buy a specific version for BTC only, and it's not exactly airgapped like the Q is. The coldcard Q is the best IMO and IRL.

I was not aware of any large regular Bitcoin payments for freight transfer to this point, but still it increases short-term demand and long-term adoption and volume.

I was an active part of the community both IRL and on forums like Bitcointalk. I wrote a PhD on decentralised networks (2011-15). And most importantly, I wasn't a grifter (looking at you, Roger). And fwiw I know Roger because we were both investors in a shared private equity investment—he's not who he projects to be, he doesn't even really give a shit about Bcash, it's just a vehicle for his own ego.

coffeebadger21

It is the only way. What is a house or a restaurant worth if it's stuck in a jurisdiction that bans unhosted wallets? Nothing. There's no free market pricing mechanism. Bitcoin itself is heavily diversified across multiple industries. The way mainstream investors talk about "diversifying" today is like buying equity in a Confederate plantation just in case slavery wins. The reason people obsess over Bitcoin is 1) it's a moral imperative and 2) currency is a winner-take-all game. There's plenty of logic beneath the surface that is rarely articulated well. And there's a lot of hollow emotional sentiment hidden in platitudes like "nobody knows the future." Yes, use logical thinking, but that means accepting the possibility of being right while everyone else that you know IRL is wrong.

1. You can spend & replace as you accumulate. Keep a hot wallet for purchases, DCA into cold storage for your savings. You're going to spend money on things anyways, why not do so while growing the Bitcoin economy? 2. Literally just buy the Bitcoin you spend right before making the purchase. No extra capital gains tax. There is zero legitimate reason to not spend and replace. You have options IRL or online to do so. It makes Bitcoin stronger and better money.

It's sad to see, but it looks like McNamara (a Republican) introduced this after discussions with AARP and local police authorities. My guess is this is a reaction to seniors getting scammed by people who direct them toward Bitcoin ATMs. Just add it to the list of issues where the Republicans are selling out younger voters for the sake of their boomer constituency. Fortunately, they can't stop you from acquiring non-KYC Bitcoin through online DEXs, p2p transactions IRL, mining, etc.

Still just a price argument + more slander. >Usage (barely 15k daily txes on a busy day) Yes, this has been the pivot point for p2p cash since Bitcoins inception. The BTC slander didn't help. But giving up is not an option BCH works and is ready. >Being an inflation hedge (never reclaimed previous ATH) It works well for me, Hint: Not everyone bought in the small time frame of ATH. And again FIAT is secondary >Ownership decentralization (Top 100 addresses own 35%+ of the supply) It's better than most cryptos and only slightly worse than BTC, mostly because Maxis sold their BCH >Public endorsement (no IRL celebrity has ever mentioned BCH) Yeah no shit, everyone that did got brigaded. Sound money is too dangerous. This either works as bottom up revolution or it don't. Your are not telling everything new, you are just showing that you are an opportunist and not interested in a better system

the_rodent_incident

I should post the long-term BCH/BTC chart now, but too many people already did that already. I'm slandering BCH's price action, not the project itself. Project is solid. Community is battle hardened, as I've said before. BCH works and there's a few wallets available. But it SEVERELY lacks: - Usage (barely 15k daily txes on a busy day) - Being an inflation hedge (never reclaimed previous ATH) - Ownership decentralization (Top 100 addresses own 35%+ of the supply) - Public endorsement (no IRL celebrity has ever mentioned BCH)

I’m not gonna lie, the IRL stuff does make it feel more “real” than just another meme with a logo and vibes. But at the same time I’ve seen a lot of projects list a ton of initiatives and most of them don’t really translate into price or longevity. Are people actually using any of this regularly or is it more community flexing? I’m trying to figure out if IRL initiatives actually matter long term or if hype + liquidity still wins in this space.

I agree with OP that it's no longer early. Bitcoin has stopped developing half a decade ago, and its community is now heavily against updates. Newer 3rd and 4th gen blockchains are still developing and maturing. But maturing is different than being early. IFAICT, retail has moved on. It's now old and boring. Most of my tech friends were quite interested in Bitcoin back in 2015-2017 when retail shops were accepting Bitcoin for payment. Most of them stop following after Bitcoin got boring and stopped evolving. 2017-2018 and again in 2020-2021 (during the lockdown) was when most of retail and their moms got into Bitcoin & crypto. There were a few people in my non-techy social groups and at work still talking about crypto. This cycle, no one I know IRL is talking about it except to make fun of it. The riskier ones are now into predictions markets and sports gambling. Everyone I know who was amused by crypto in past is now against it.

SpaceFaceMistake

This is good news. We need many more ways of spending IRL and having companies accept eg $BTC $LTC $XLM $XRP $ETH to be used as payment Through a Visa Card or account having Visa use or create their own Crypto Wallet system. So paying with Visa can be payed with $BTC but the company may wish to receive the Dollar or maybe 50/50. Master card or Visa then get exposure to owning $BTC or other coins for USD exchange which is super smart with $BTC the newest and longest currency to be. Or $USD the currency that is dying.

Nice contribution, Satoshi isn't anyone famous or publicly known. BTC was a group project and needed an unknown face. Hal chose someone he respected to be Satoshi, knowing he had ALS. That person created Satoshi and made another few key contributions to the project, as well as undertaking huge personal sacrifice. A few people on this list and the project knew the real identity. Satoshis parents are not great people and have destroyed their reputation IRL. Hint: The first letter of Satoshis firstname and first letter of their birth country are the same.

See that’s what I mean lmao. People are completely delusional and if you point out that’s just not going to happen, people get almost violent. I have an okay amount of bitcoin and even if it tripled from the all time high (which it won’t do any time soon and I’m talking like more than 4-6 years) I still would not even be able to buy the average US house outright. When I say this to people I know IRL who are holding significantly less bitcoin than me, they just have no idea that they don’t get 400k just because the price of 1 coin is valued at that. If they have .1 of a coin, they are looking at the possibility of buying a nice pre owned rav4 in a couple years.

You can short Bitcoin. Not on the blockchain, of course, but you can short it on whatever trading platform. I can also short it IRL: I ask you to lend me 1BTC, I sell it, I buy it again in 1 month and give it back to you... that's shorting, what is stopping us from doing such a deal? You might not be interested in it, for sure, but I'm fairly certain I could find someone willing. I read the white paper plenty of times, so what? It's only explaining how the blockchain works, not how everything that was built around it.

Jesse-359

There is no such thing as a decentralized currency. Period. It's not a matter of technology, will, fiat currency, or a lack thereof. It's a matter of market concentration, and unregulated markets *always* concentrate wealth. Always, without exception. Play any game where people are competing for 'money' - Monopoly is the classic - and if you play it long enough someone will end up with all the money, and everyone else with none. It does not matter how 'fair' the game is. That is going to be the result of any natural 'free market' - because it's the result of *math* \- compounding interest, compounding investements, and compounding market power. If you try to design a money-competitive game where this *isn't* the outcome, it turns out to be *really hard*. Usually you end up having to implement some equivalent to Wealth Taxes to keep the game running indefinitely - otherwise everyone quits because they have no money. IRL that point where everyone else quits is usually when the violent revolution occurs, so the goal of any good economist should be to prevent that from happening - but by default it will always happen sooner or later - often sooner. Oh, though it should be noted that highly speculative markets like BTC have one other possible outcome - everyone loses when the speculative market crashes out entirely.

I'm just saying I've been in this exact scenario before in 2020, and again in 2023. Where the community and everyone you talk to IRL is like "Oh crypto is so dead, all those idiots got rugged". That's where we're at now. When it's like this, you can't possibly imagine that crypto will ever bounce back. Then it does. Just saying, I've seen this happen multiple times now and sentiment always gets to this level before it hits new highs.

Why do people feel the need to talk about their gains to everyone? IRL, people only discuss things like this with others who share the same interests. This applies to tradfi and crypto like Bitcoin

Here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm using Bitcoin almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. The custodian might steal your sats and ask for a KYC before releasing them, so go with tiny amounts only if really need to use them. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.

I feel like there's some sort of unjustified hype around hardware wallets. If you plan on making max 1-2 tx/year, I don't see how they are any safer if you're a bit knowledgeable around computers. You can easily run Tails offline via USB stick, load your cold SW wallet there and sign your transactions offline. That's arguably safer than buying an HW wallet, considering you're putting yourself a huge target on your back when buying one: see the data leaks - bad actors can try to either try social engineering you or outright come and meet you face-to-face IRL. If I have an offline HW wallet, nobody knows I own BTC. On the other hand, I can totally see how they're handy if you send transactions on a weekly basis.

The NFT is the certificate of authenticity for physical sculpture drops like Marvel and Bugatti. Asprey Studio members get access to showcase their art in the gallery in London mayfair, it’s a VIP ticket to IRL events like huge art events such as art basel miami, first access on exclusive drops. Marvel and Bugatti for example only 60 sculptures are made Asprey Studio Club holders are the first ones that get the opportunity to buy before Marvel and Bugatti clients most of them are really high end rich collectors / clients. And much more. check it out!

One of the few NFT projects that actually built something and is still using the concept of nfts the right way is Asprey Studio… All NFT’s come with a 18 kt golden ring which’s gold value currently is close to floor price. IRL events in london, art gallery that is actually doing really well. Exclusive collabs with Marvel, Bugatti etc.

The IRL efforts are huge, and show that a lot of people are committed to this brand for the long haul. Kendu is not some pump and dump. Kendu is a community committed to building something huge over the coming years. Major repricing will happen soon.

If we want the future to be mass adoption the IRL has to be the future. The majority of people live their lives offline and will not start getting involved in crypto if we are not reaching out to them. It is that simple.

damianoko31

Yeah I know. But I do my own research and I have emergency account and all this things and everyone I know IRL tell me how dump I'm if I want BTC so I ask here first and than buy btc

damianoko31

Yeah why not. Everyone I know IRL saying it's a bad idea and how dump I'm even to do stock's. So I do my research and as a last thing before I buy it I ask about it right here ✌️

> If the market cap catches up to silver, we will have overhot the 200k mark (: I'd like to see this happen. I'm tired of my silverbug friends IRL looking like Nostradamus while my "money of the future" trades like hot garbage.

>the total value. >Obviously when btc was trading in pennies, the low psychological barriers to price movement allowed higher % fluctuations. > As the relative value of btc to usd increased, it was still volatile, yes, but also it was not widely understood or adopted. > As the value has climbed to much higher levels, volatility has slowed. We havent seen a 90% drawdown, nor a 2100% rise. This is exactly why BTC is a bad investment, especially at these levels. The upside is extremely limited, but the downside risk is enormous. Also, we're in the first few months of the bear market and BTC already plummeted by 40%. It's an over bloated $2T market cap asset, which has no use case IRL. >We have lost 90% purchasing power of the dollar since 71. That's literally a widespread commonly.known fact. Very easy to verify so if you cant accept that, this isnt a good faith argument. That's completely irrelevant to BTC. Yeah, Inflation is a thing that exists, Bitcoin doesn't fix that.

I don’t doubt what was said about most people not able to have the conviction to hold them or it being unreasonable to think they would have invested them long term being the most likely outcome. However for context, nearly all of these guys were single or just dating with no kids at the time. Also I was, and still am, a fucking BTC maxi who was trying my best to help them not blow all their money on cigs, beer and eating out and encourage them to put something aside. I led all these people to the spring and not one of them drank from it. I don’t really try to help people out IRL in this way anymore.

Agree and great point. If you want to go trading you should ask yourself: what is my edge in trading against the big players and professionals. Strongest communities. I think you should check for communities that keep on pushing no matter how the market is, good or bad. Communities that are pushing into IRL stuff. Check if a community has a high level of face doxing. This creates some public responsibility instead of scammers who are just sitting behind a anonymous account. Imo the community is the main driver of all great projects. Even BTC. You know the videos in the old days where some people gave presentations in front of almost and empty rooms. They didn't care. The just believed in the project, they kept believing, pushing, creating and were willing to connect their identity with it.

You don’t even imagine how easy it is to lose 2M gambling. Maybe IRL casino is different, but when you can do 100k blackjack hands without any restrictions or 1000-5000$ a spin slots, it gets down really fast.

You really suck. I think id hate you IRL

There are so many bots and fudders on Reddit, but the thing about Kennedy is the people who are posting have been bullish and working and building beyond just one pump cycle. They believe. They know what is possible with this team of holders and workers and IRL branding opportunities.  It’s not a fly by night pump and dump. It’s a cultural force on the brink of global domination.

Wealth concentration has a lot of negative consequences IRL. I don't see why it would be different with BTC.
