#Bitcoin Cash Con-Arguments Below is a Bitcoin Cash con-argument written by Blendzi0r. > # What is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)? > > Bitcoin Cash is a [hard fork](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hard-fork.asp) of Bitcoin. It was launched in 2017. [It has 32MB blocks instead of Bitcoin’s 1MB](https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2015/08/21/what-is-the-bitcoin-block-size-debate-and-why-does-it-matter/), so it can handle many more transactions per second (TPS). And that’s the main difference between BTC and BCH, as its goal was to tackle [Bitcoin’s scalability problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_scalability_problem) without the second layer solutions. > > # What are the cons of BCH? > > **IT’S CENTRALIZED** > > BCH “inherited” BTC’s supply distribution from July 2017 when it was launched but the supply held by large addresses [has become more concentrated over time](https://coinmetrics.substack.com/p/coin-metrics-state-of-the-network-2d3) (while BTC is even more decentralized today). > > In 2019, [just two mining pools were able to perform a 51% attack](https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2019/05/24/bitcoin-cash-miners-undo-attackers-transactions-with-51-attack/). And although it was done for a good cause – to stop an unknown miner from exploiting a bug – it can serve as a prove that BCH was centralized already back then. > > ​ > > **THE NARRATIVE IS ON BITCOIN’S SIDE** > > The value of Bitcoin has gone up more than 2,000% since July 2017 while BCH has stayed below its price from July 2017 most of the time, not to mention its [ATH price of $4,355](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/) (it's 86% down from ATH as of 31.10.2021). > > Also liquidity and real-world usability of Bitcoin Cash [is nowhere near that of Bitcoin](https://www.investopedia.com/tech/bitcoin-vs-bitcoin-cash-whats-difference/#citation-4). It is clear that the great majority of investors chose Bitcoin after the 2017 hard fork and BCH is seen as an inferior copy. > > ​ > > **IT HAD ITS OWN HARD FORKS** > > People cringe at Internet Computer’s name, but for me, Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) takes the cake. It’s a hard fork of Bitcoin Cash that took place in late 2018. It has even larger blocks than BCH – [2GB](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/world-record-2-gigabyte-block-130000498.html). > > In 2020, there was another hard fork that produced two new chains- Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Node. This shows that Bitcoin Cash has failed not only against Bitcoin, but had splits among its own community, further hurting its credibility. > > ​ > > **IT'S SCALABILITY COMES AT A COST** > > Bigger blocks have certain [disadvantages](https://www.sfox.com/blog/is-bigger-better-how-to-evaluate-bitcoin-cash-based-on-block-size/). Running nodes when the blocks are big requires more resources. Also, the commissions from transaction fees are lower, which makes mining the coin less appealing. This might result in nodes being manageable only by big, private companies, making BCH even more centralized. > > ​ > > **ITS MAIN ADVANTAGE ISN’T UTILIZED…** > > Although BCH’s blocks can handle up to 32MB of data, [they have not reached even 2MB since they were introduced in 2018](https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/size-btc-bch.html#3y). What's more, their average size is currently much lower than that of Bitcoin’s blocks. > > Taking into consideration the point above about the disadvantages of bigger blocks, it makes you wonder why BCH would push for such big blocks when most of the time they don't even use 3% of their capacity. > > ​ > > **… AND EVEN IF IT WAS, THERE'S LIGHTNING NETWORK** > > [SegWit](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/segwit-segregated-witness.asp) allows second layer solutions to be implemented on Bitcoin. One of those solutions is Lightning Network which has become very popular recently after being [adopted by El Salvador](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/lightning-network-bitcoin-usage-adoption-el-salvador) and [Twitter](https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/118450/twitter-rolls-out-bitcoin-tipping-for-ios-users-via-lightning-looks-to-nfts-for-the-future). > > Lightning Network effectively eliminates the main advantage of Bitcoin Cash by allowing faster and cheaper transactions with bitcoins. Even if BCH fully utilized its 32MB blocks, it wouldn't be able to compete with Lightening Network. > > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > > **SUMMARY** > > Bitcoin Cash is a much worse store of value than Bitcoin and now it is also losing the electronic cash narrative, since the growing adoption of [Lightning Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network) makes Bitcoin a much cheaper and faster payment option. ***** Would you like to learn more?

I always find that the default way of using your email as a username to login to your email account is stupid. You're giving away half your login credentials to anyone you give your email to. If you're using outlook or Hotmail, do yourself a favor by creating an alias account to use it as a login, and then disabling using your main email account name as a log in. 1) Log in to your Microsoft account 2) click your info 3) click sign in preference 4) add email account 5) create a new email, and link it with your primary mail account. (DO NOT REMOVE YOUR MAIN EMAIL ACCOUNT, YOU WILL LOSE IT) 6) click change your sign in preferences 7) deselect your main email account (the email that you give out to websites) Now you can only use your alias account to log in to your main email account. Keep your alias account to yourself AND NEVER GIVE IT OUT, it's only for logging into your account. I'm not sure if google has the same feature, but they probably do. You should also remove your phone number from any websites or apps that allow you to recover your account via your phone number. SIM swaps/social engineering is real.

I am pointing out the difference that layer 2s are not main net. If you can’t understand how layer 2s have different risks than layer 1 for the end user then I can not help you. This is the issue with the first user being intentionally misleading. Layer 2s ARE NOT MAIN NET. They do not currently have the same risk profile as if you used main net. When you get rugged or your assets are lost from a hack from using a layer 2 instead of main net, do not come back here crying.

The MAIN thing you need to do is track your performance against BTC (unless you want to track against something outside crypto, like S&P index fund) and see if you are beating BTC. When you hear stories about people actively trading (even falling asleep while trading!), they often aren’t performing better than BTC. If you aren’t, you might as well buy BTC and just enjoy your life and not worry about constantly trading extremely volatile and unpredictable coins. Spoiler alert: almost no highly active traders beat BTC in the long term. Honestly, the worst thing that can happen to you right when you start trading is you make a couple lucky guesses, make some money, and think you are good at it and not just lucky. You are probably just lucky and eventually your luck will go the other way.

I can pretty much assure you what happened (because it happened to me, but I had no bad outcome). Keepass (what is being called a 'password manager') is 100% secure. However the password to KeePass was something like "Bitcoin" - which yes, can easily be brute forced and KeePass doesn't stop brute force. The hacker got his keepass file from his harddrive... this is extremely hard to do (in normal circumstances) - EXTREMELY hard... except Microsoft now 'auto syncs' your entire hard drive using One Drive - unless you aggressively deny it (I do). Google Drive *can* do similar. So basically I can almost assure you the 'dad' clicked the default options on windows install - which steals all your Bitcoin keys / self hosted password managers. Now Microsoft is setup (again by default) to let you get all that easily from anywhere in the world.. F'ING GREAT! All you have to do is reset your password - which can be done by text or email. He would have known if his phone was stolen, so they must have cracked his email. Again, emails are similarly setup to open anywhere in the world via text or email to some other old email. Another possibility is reused passwords - like your home depot password is your email password as well.. ALL BITCOINERS MUST SET UP --- EMAIL --- TO 2 FACTOR AUTHENTIFICATION. This will stall a hacker a least a day. In my case, they had been targeting me for months / years, with advanced 'phishing' emails (use of real name, business intent, possibly legit files to 'download' etc). I fell for none of this. Eventually they stole my phone (using a T mobile Israeli office - they steal your phone number, not the device, also called 'sim swapping' - but it's fully remote and you can't *really* stop it - any $10 hr worker anywhere in the world can defeat you). After stealing my phone - they reset all email passwords and financial accounts - using 'text to phone' to override - and then 'text to email' once email was secured - this basically breaks into everything in the world. And while doing all that - they also IMMEDIATELY - hacked my G Drive, One Drive, Drop Box, etc. and grabbed everything there (this would be where people keep their KeePass or BTC seeds). > I'm personally not huge on 'self storing' - as a similar incident where my dad was the backup - he threw the USB drive 'into the junk drawer' - and then the paper with all the info in a book.. that he gave to the library.. - IF you give parents / relatives a hard copy of BTC info - PUT IT IN A SAFE - not because it's relevant, but this prevents them from easily losing it. Also my dad had movers grab all his stuff one day, and if they grabbed USB drives he would have never noticed for months... a Safe is the only real way (don't even give them the combo if it's a 'only if you die' tool - this is particularly good for spouses / friends). Anyways - from the time they Sim Swapped me in Israel (9:30pm on Friday) - to the time they had downloaded all cloud files and cracked all related websites - was 5 MINUTES. Five minutes.. In my case, I don't use any cloud storage, immediately delete / uninstall OneDrive (as I understood the risk years ago), and my G Drives... well I got 6 of them. My main one is not with my main email, etc. The only financial account they got was Coinbase - and even though I notified coinbase as fast as humanly possible - coinbase DID allow them to sell my BTC for 'penny stocks' - as whitelisting doesn't stop that... in this case, the penny stocks did better than Bitcoin over the 3 months it took for CB to give my access back.. all the while deny I have any money at all.. the hackers submitted 'verified ID' (fake licenses / passports) at roughly a rate of every 30 minutes, over a 7 day period. > They only way to notify CB is to buy a burner phone, setup a new account, and then call CB from your burner and wait 3 hours explaining it to some fuck stick moron who can't speak english. I carry burners on me, and was at an airbnb with no wifi - so not only did I lose signal (which you really wouldn't pay attention to generally, could be storm / tower, could be anything, and your phone doesn't notify you) - but I also lost internet because no wifi - that's why I responded so fast - I notified Coinbase within 30 minutes. Coinbase refused to take any action for 3 hours. !!! - and then only agreed to halt trading after 1 week of me calling them constantly - EVEN AFTER they noticed the identity theft.. But the basic steps to stop this: 1) Don't do any 'auto sync' cloud storage stuff, delete One Drive like it's cancer. 2) Setup email on 2FA - Google Authenticator to crack (TONS less secure now that it is auto cloud'd). 3) Develop a 'unique' password system. This is easy. Think of a word - let's say Bitcoin. Then think of numbers - let's say Bday 4 social - then the website you are on - then special letter. Then shorten the word from Bitcoin to B. So it'd be like: B0115794321Reddit* Nobody is ever cracking that... 'long and crazy' is a small part - the MAIN THING (I use to run with hackers) is the UNIQUENESS "Reddit" - you can't use a bot to auto crack passwords if they all unique. And if you don't know, for $5 I can bet like the top 5 commonly used passwords for every reddit users / and their linked accounts. It's just like a $5 / month fee to get access to all passwords ever leaked - with very good 'networking' (list of websites used) information - only unique passwords stop this. > Another possibility is they hacked the Microsoft account - and his windows profile was set to 'roaming' (again, another bat shit stupid default you must deny) - when set this way, I can duplicate everything on your desktop anywhere in the world in seconds. This is probably more likely than the OneDrive crack, as hopefully the dad would have stopped OneDrive but wouldn't have even known his profile was set to 'roaming' as it's completely pitched as a 'security' feature, when it's the opposite. The hackers have 'hacked' my Microsoft account like 30+ times. This is the only account they hack repeatedly, that and Instagram for some reason lol - ahhh... probably looking for blackmail. 4) Any true self storage needs to be on USB / not your hard drive - keep it disconnected by default, and in a safe so you can't misplace it with ease / 'internet repair guy' steals it and you don't even notice, etc. 5) Keep a VOIP, burner phone handy - know how to use it. I was traveling, and all T mobiles were closed next 2 days (weekend). Without burner I couldn't uber, or do a million other things... 6) You can't really trust anyone else to understand the importance of not being careless. Either buy them a safe... or don't trust them. Dude is blaming his dad (get it) but other than the super easy KeePass password, the rest 'could happen to anybody' and 'f you' for trusting someone else with your life.. even if pops. But ya, my pops made it easy and obvious to me not to trust him haha. Girl Partner did the same, she can barely install windows - I'm positive all her files are OneDrive / remote user profile'd. 7) Your biggest enemy is the internet. You could have a poster board with your seed phrases on it, and go 20+ years without a theft. Anything connected to the internet, getting hacked by anyone world wide... give it like 3 weeks. Paper - physical safes - are your friend - computers are NOT your friend. That's about all I can think of. And (obv) set everything to 2FA rando number code, if it's email or financial. And be aware that these fuckers who shove shit coins with no true market down your throat - basically make whitelisting pointless. You should be allowed to DENY trading into this 'hacker scam' coins - but you can't - so be aware of it (if I have BTC and can not withdraw... I can buy 'SHIBE' or similar penny stock 'at market' - while selling my SHIBE on another website... and effectively I've withdrawn all the funds, and bypassed whitelisting... with some 20% loss or so). White listing should also apply to all coins / markets you don't actively engage in, IMO. But ya, KeePass is safe - this issues is *most likely* a Microsoft 'auto update to cloud' system - and then 5 mins later cracked open - and the user / dad never notified at all.

The only graph you need to understand is the US DEBT [https://federalbudgetinpictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/FBIP-MAIN-37.jpg](https://federalbudgetinpictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/FBIP-MAIN-37.jpg) Because anyone with half a brain will understand that there is NO FCKING WAY to raise interest rates enough to control inflation with this much DEBT. Oh, we could take interest rates up to 6% but we would hyperinflation just printing money to service the debt. That is what you and everyone else needs to understand. FIAT IS DEAD.

1. Interoperability between chains - All chains that have already made headway connecting ecosystems will fair well next run. This stage of crypto evolution HAS to occur. The space cannot have 10-25 chains that are not connected. Combine that with all the various CEC/DEX exchanges that cannot legally service all Humies, then you may be able to understand why this space is so intimidating to new, novice and even intermediate users. This is why I believe in Cosmos (Atom), ADA, Avalanche (will be ok over time), Polkadot, Chainlink, and some others that have absolutely boring news releases, but are talking about things that will connect the entire crypto space. There are also some other promising projects on d rule r rise working on this as well. DYOR! 2. Privacy - This should be huge going forward. 3. Online casino style games/Retro games with added elements - Don’t know all the regulations they will have to go through. Seems USDT, USDC, and other fast settlement type coins would rule this space. Everybody waiting on some blockchain Grand Theft Auto or Madden type game with payouts. The legal hurdles would take forever with big time franchises like that. Do some games any phone or Pc can play and put some earn aspects to them that are part of the game, not the MAIN aspect of the game. I don’t even care if it’s 16-32-64 bit quality games from 90s-early 00s. Start there and work up to better games. 4. Storage

Yeah it's amazing how backwards and gullible people are here. Like, Gary is a very problematic chair in a lot of ways, but Hester Pierce, his replacement if he does get fired, is infinitely worse. Her stance on crypto is extremely conservative and she has voted against every single, and I mean EVERY SINGLE one of the transparency bills in the stock market. The bills that push for short and swap disclosures. Swaps have been the MAIN way hedge funds have been blowing up their portfolios and the government wants to see what's on their books. This is a good thing! At least Gary has made multiple visits to Superstonk to address our Q&As. He spelled out exactly what has to be done to crush these hedge funds and it's been working so far. End of the day, Gary is a politician and politicians can't be trusted, but personally, I think he's doing as good of a job as I can imagine a politician doing. That said, I have no fucking clue what his angle is on crypto. I feel like he's just got no time for it because of the swaps issues in the actual markets. Switzerland is about to have to bail out their biggest bank, UBS, because of bad swaps from Archegos that Credit Suisse took over and now fall onto UBS.

here is an example: - store your seed in a banking vault - use a "25th word" password for your wallet - leave traces in the banking vault about that. for instance: "my wifi password followed by my birthday followed by my social security number" or something that nobody outside your family can recreate - maybe use 5 locations instead of only a banking vault and use multisig. 1. your son 2. your daughter 3. your banking vault 4. your tresor/safe as home 5. another banking vault. make it so that 3/5 devices have to be used to move funds, incase 2 get lost (and verify during your life time that those devices are still in possession of anyone holding on to it). this is for your MAIN STASH. for your family to have instant access to funds, make another wallet, that they can access in case of death for the time before all the bureaucracy. where i live, death takes from 4-24 months to be fully concluded and the inheritance settled.

To get to the discord, you can use the link on the right menu--> For mobile user, click "see community info" at the top, and scroll down to the discord link. i cant post the direct link here because of automod, but it's also in the google doc and the post above. Then look for the "MAIN STAGE" channel. And you can listen in. You won't be asked to mic or cam up. There is a text box to chat. 1

ETH is q more evolved product and the MAIN UPGRADES were all about making ETH deflationary via 1: staking and 2: enabling staking and unstained seamlessly and 3: burn mechanism. That's literally pretty much all the major protocol upgrades that's been happening at ETH development. Stop defending an indefensible bad take.

I keep seeing the word decentralized but you fail to explain how it’s decentralized (Hint: it’s not). So care to explain how it’s decentralized yet? Seeing how it’s sequencer isn’t, it requires a low limit multisig, I’m unsure why you keep saying decentralized when it’s far from it. Imagine if I released a chain with 1 node (sequencer) and 12 miners(PoW) or validators(PoS) this sub would shit all down my throat about how centralized it is. Yet you wrap up some bullshit buzz words, some laser eyes, and ETH fanboyism and this sub asks zero questions and praises it. Zelle is more “decentralized” than this bullshit. And requires ZERO fees and JPM bankrolled it themselves instead of slow rugging the less educated here. You guys have taken the MAIN aspect of crypto (decentralization) and completely ruined it to pump your own bags. It’s a disgrace to people who care about core crypto tech this shit is even posted.

How things work: 1. A new market space appears. 2. For a certain time, that space is given the opportunity to self-regulate. 3. That space never self-regulates, and degenerates into a hive of scum and villany. 4. The SEC (or other government institution) comes in with the big guns, and forces regulation. Every single time, this is how things go down, and it was entirely predictable. The crypto space has been rife with scams, rug pulls, Ponzi schemes, shitcoins, NFTs, constantly moving the goalposts between currency and security, trying to skirt the edges. It was only a matter of time before the regulation hammer came down with vengeance. Also: > No one wanted lack of regulation **FOR YEARS THIS WAS THE MAIN SELLING POINT OF CRYPTOS.** You can't just change the narrative now. C'mon man. Decentralize, no regulation, free market space! I 'member. Do you 'member?

Well, I think there are people here with multiple purposes. 1. Yes there are those looking at it as an investment (get rich) 2. There are those looking at safe storage of money (as an asset that can't be confiscated) 3. Then there are those that just want a protection agains inflation (preservation) Myself Im in it for all three. My MAIN one being #2, although I do not mind making a few bucks on the way up #1, and have sold for the purpose of diversifying into an income producing asset as well. ​ As time goes on (mainly the intro of the CBDC's happens - and the government starts wielding the control of a CDBC) people will start to realize the benefit of what I term digital gold (which I also hold physically)

To follow up in my previous comment: what do you think I should do? The plan is to continue going to nursing school for 2.5-3 years and accumulate about 40k of debt. Right now I have basically no money. I have 6k in bitcoin, 1k in a 401k, and 5k credit card debt (0%intro apr) So basically only have 1-2k to my name right now. My job at a hospital only pays 19.25/hr before tax and I'm already 23. After tax, health/dental,401k deductions, I take home $13/hr. I also try to doordash when I can. MAIN QUESTION: WHAT SHOULD I DO THESE NEXT 3 YEARS TO TAKE HOME MORE MONEY?

I don't know about multiple cold wallets, but you should definitely have multiple transactional wallets. NEVER EVER LINK YOU MAIN WALLET(S) TO ANYTHING. Send whatever you need to a new wallet and then use that. Every. Single. Time. It might be tedious, but it's safer.

Governments are addicted to managed economies with their control over money printing and interest rates. If you are a student of history, you quickly realize this is exactly what the US Constitution was created to stop. Central economic control always enriches those in power at the expense of everyone else. Janet Yellen has been paid MILLIONS of dollars by the banks she "regulates" in the form of speeches. Now she is choosing WHICH banks to bail out and which to allow to fail. Bitcoin eliminates this central control. That's why the power players now see it as the enemy they must stop. It's not a coincidence that Signature Bank was suddenly seized, even though it had no "run" going on. It was just the MAIN BANK for the crypto industry, since Silvergate and SVB had just been shuttered. It was a planned, calculated attack on bitcoin and crypto. It's been called Operation Chokepoint 2.0 (since 1.0 was aimed at gun makers and sellers). It will be interesting to see how bitcoin responds when the on- and off-ramps are closed to fiat currency in the US. The administration plans to make it impossible to bank with crypto exchanges, thus cutting off American's ability to buy and sell bitcoin. P2P exchanges like Bisq offer a tiny fraction of liquidity to US buyers and can't pick up the slack. I'm not sure how an American goes about creating a foreign bank account just so they can buy and sell bitcoin. They sing about the "Land of the Free" but as far as I can see, US citizens have less financial freedom than most of the world right now, and it's being diminished by the day.

We've been farther. I remember when localbitcoin was one of 3 MAIN ways to onramp. You had to go to Western Union, send cash to (usually) the Philippines, wait for them to check it the next day, wait for escrow to clear and THEN receive your BTC. All while worrying about being scammed by fake reviews. We've come a long long way.

Without regulations we will continue to have FTX, Celsius and 3AC type of meltdowns. Co-mingling of funds, not having customer assets backed fully, money laundring....all of this can and should be regulated. The MAIN thing I have is that all regulation should be for centralised entities. DeFi should not be impacted IF it's indeed Decentralised!

That's a feature of a truly trustless, permissionless P2P system, where anyone can participate all over the world. Perhaps you should consider that financial security is the MAIN goal of a decentralized monetary settlement layer. Other layers can deal with speed, smart contracts, applications, etc.... but slow throughput is by design for a global, decentralized P2P system. Seems like your need to ask more questions...

>Crypto as a currency is the MAIN POINT! Bitcoin started out as trustless decentralized peer-to-peer cash. But the tech has evolved far away from this original purpose. Cryptocurrency is a bit of a misnomer now, especially as it applies to Ethereum. Success to me looks like, for example, large TVL on L2s on DeFi on Ethereum. That's one (but significant) measure. But there are many others.

Explain to me what success looks like if the single use case cure fly employed by the masses is as a get rich quick scheme? Crypto as a currency is the MAIN POINT! There is no value in decentralization if the thing that’s decentralized isn’t a currency.

Sort of. Mainly focus on buying BTC and ETH…but I “found” another alt coin to take a chance on in Quant. This time around, like I said, MAIN focus is with BTC and ETH and my leftovers to QNT. Who knows maybe it’ll pay off this time or I’ll be telling myself, “should’ve just done BTC and ETH.”

It is fucking worthless and we all know this deep down. Not a single one of us are just buying and holding it forever , passing it down to our kids or whatever. I just wanna sell it for 10000 percent gain and trade it back for fiat and enjoy a nice beach front property with my winnings. We are all just hoping for a lotto ticket. That’s the MAIN 99 percent driver of the price. the other 1 percent use is just drug cartels and other illegal activities using crypto to transfer their shady money

Here in the USA. The energy cost was almost 4x last year. Way before all the bs with Russia. Like I said. It's a factor. But printing money is the main factor. The USD is the global currency at this point in time. (look up the Petro dollar to understand more). With that comes major inflation for everyone since the USA printed almost 35% of TOTAL CURRENCY IN HISTORY of the United States. That inflation is felt around the world. People in the EU and others may be more directly affected by the ENERGY crisis but like I said before, the MAIN driving factor is the global INFLATION from the money printed from covid and them propping up the economy from failure.

Of course not, there’s legal liability if you claim “you have the answers”. Hence why all the shills make a disclaimer saying “that this in not financial advice”. My point is that the two MAIN hypothesis’s, shall we say, Ben has postulated on his channel have been completely wrong. That’s it. Yet, you don’t need to look further then this comment thread to see how many people continuing to revel at his majesty, and continue to consume his content. I think a lot of people who love Ben can see through the BS of other big crypt YouTubers like Carl or BitBoy, but find solace in watching Ben, because of his self-deprecating, humble appearance, and his clearly deliberate use of crappy audio and crappy video. He’s clearly branded himself as the crypto Dad. But at the end of the day, I think, his analysis is just as Dubious and off base as the rest of them, despite how Dadd-ish he comes off. And when I say that into the world it’s like I’ve pissed on the cross Jesus was crucified on. I wrote this post to point out how he has been in fact very wrong about very significant things, but his followers are yet so willing to turn a blind eye, and right it off as, well he never claimed he had the answers. Well, he’s sure making a killing off a premium list where people think he does have the answers. The illusion is thick, but it’s still just that.

Too bad I have nothing to loose. APPARENTLY i just heard today (as my other siblings and mom dont care AT ALL) that my dad only paid of 1/3th of our now worth half a million € house. (Yeah, i am that white, autochthonous, upper-middle class, "privileged", suburban 24y/o man who is stuck at his parents house because of this insane housing crisis) Apparently he screwed up during the '08 crash, fearing that everything would go to shit. So yeah, I basically live in a house with very high consuming parents who live on like ~10k a month. Meanwhile, my siblings bust their asses off for a shit payment. Nobody can leave this house because of the market + the necessity of having a partner, which 2 of us dont currently have. Its so absolutely fucking screwed over here in the Netherlands. 100.000 immigrants PER YEAR (MAIN reason for Brexit BTW!!) as this shit has been happening since 2015 or something. Everything is fucking going to shit and I just want my capital before I go to new Zealand or something.

Doge will never die with the shitcoins. Doge will die with BTC or ETH. Most people who hold Doge also hold BTC and ETH. Most people who hold other shitcoins as their MAIN coins, not side investments, don't have any BTC or ETH.

Don't know about others, but Ledger has a solid app and desktop app, imo its one of the best designed wallet apps and definitely better than MetaMask. Still odd around places and doesn't have free flow coin tracking like MetaMask, coins need to be supported to show up, even though your address might hold them. You can do everything or at least most of the desktop app features. I believe you can also set it up without any device but not 100% sure on setup. And yes best get the bluetooth version. ​ The MAIN issue I found is, MetaMask and Ledger don't communicate on iOS yet, they said they're working on it but no idea when its coming. This means in a situation you have an alt coin thats not supported by ledger, but it sits on your ledger address, you can't view it on the ledger, and MetaMask app won't be able to interact with the ledger due to the support issue (works fine on desktop), so you'll have no way to interact with them. Best keep a hot metamask wallet for these scenarios and always do penny test flows to understand limitations.

>The MAIN problems right now is Inflation, rate hikes and also supply chain/ukraine/Russia So what exactly is the connection you're proposing between those events and the trading price of BTC? One could argue that supply chain disruptions are causing a chip shortage which should be driving crypto up because the rate of new miners coming online will flatten. Or maybe the effect is the opposite because fewer machines means restrictions in transaction processing. Inflation is going crazy, no doubt, and recently data is coming out putting a number to it, sure, yet gold is more or less flat over the last 6 most. In the last 6 mos oil is way up, and it looks like next year's wheat supply out of Ukraine is in jeopardy, but what does any of that have to do with the price of BTC? >Nothing has fundamentally changed... Here I agree with you, we still have no idea if the current price for BTC is 10x high or 10x low.

> Previous performance is not an indicator of future performance. This is is straight up an argument in bad faith. And it's also completely wrong for what it's worth. Past performance is one of **THE MAIN INDICATORS** professionals use to gauge the value of literally any asset class, crypto or traditional. What is true is that **past performance isn't a guarantee of future performance**. And of course, if that's what you meant you'd be right, but it's also pretty naive. The only way this argument works out in the context of this discussion is if your argument is actually "BtC is done and is only going down from here." That's an argument which is, on it's surface straight up, "what the fuck is this guy on?", **stupid**. The levels of adoption we've seen in the last two years are enormous. Major corporations all have been buying in, governments, you make it. We're well past a grass roots "oopsie recession" kind of death at this point. BTC has become a major player in the finance markets and there would need to be something **catastrophic** for us not to see a new high at some point in the future (which is all I suggested in the post you responded to). Will the future of BTC be different from the past? Yeah, you can almost guarantee it will and yeah returns probably will slow down but rejecting the idea of a new high *at some nebulous point in the future* is delusional.

“Bitcoin won’t become ‘an alternative form of money,’ or a store of value, says Ben Bernanke.” He is right because BTC will become the MAIN form of money and fiat will BECOME the alternative.

The MAIN question is actually, how is it legal for Coinbase to sell a coin then immediately delist it and not list it back up, effectively stealing people's money?

Well, think about the purpose of money. The MAIN purpose is to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. Do you get paid from your employer in Bitcoin? the last time you filled your cars gas tank, did you pay in Bitcoin? Why not? What/why is this going to change in the future?

There is 2 ways of moving sats into your lightning wallet: 1- the easy way is to create an invoice on your lightning wallet and have another lightning wallet scan and pay it and sats would be in your wallet. 2- The longer way which is what you are asking (I think) is: to install a node, let say c-lightning node (or an 'lnd' node) and once it is up you need to fund it and here is where your current bitcoin sigwit wallet comes in: create a new address lightning-cli newaddr The previous command will return a segwit native bc1 address. Here is what meant when I said it is native (default). If you need a p2sh segwit address that starts in a 3 and is compatible will non-segwit wallets or exchanges, run this command instead. lightning-cli newaddr p2sh-segwit At this point you send some sats from your sigwit wallt to the above address, a normal onchain send tx. So now you actually have a full fledged lightning wallet on your own node with some sats in it. Now you need to connect to a reputable node which provides your node with incoming capacity. So at this point you have a full lightning wallet with send and receive capabilities ( the connection and channels and funding channels are a bit more work but we won't go there for simplicity). You can now create an invoice (like step 1) and do a: lightning-cli pay lnbc1500n1pwfja4pp5xmw9m37spxhlppmd4y…………… the lnbc1500n.... being the invoice. So your sats moved from you lightning wallet on your node to the lightning wallet (the one you had before, like one on you phone for example.) This wallet could have a gui ux so wont use the commands like we did above. The people who created the c-lightning also have RTL (ride the lightning) which is a nice tool that acts like a gui for you node wallet. If we had used 'lnd' the steps would have been very much in parallel. So now you actually have 2 lightning wallets, one that you already had and one that you created using the node.. the MAIN advantage of the second wallet is that it is in your 'custody', you own your sats and you won't loose them once the company behind the phone wallet disappears. regards
