Ask yourself this question, if you have 1 millions to invest, will you put everything to bitcoin? Sure, bitcoin MAY 10x your investment, but it can also 1/10 in short time. On the other hand, putting 1 millions into safer stocks almost guarantee that you will not be hungry without working. Hence, at most they will put 1/10 or even 1/100 of their investment to crypto, portion that they don't mind to lose. It is different with us plebs, if we invest $1k to stocks, we only get 7% and it takes 30 years to become something meaningful. While putting to bitcoin can give us $100k in few years. Marks my word, most redditors will also take profit when they see 1 million in their bitcoin. They will start moving it to other safer asset (maybe just maintaining very small amount in crypto)

I agree with you that diverse fields bring loads of experience to individuals and allow them to have a different insight that may allow us to progress as a country better. Canadas PM does not have a diverse background. Born into a rich family, went to school to teach education, taught drama for a high school, got into the Liberal Party, less than a decade later is running a country. There have been corruption and ethics violations identified. The country is running at a massive deficit, individuals are taxed at exorbitant rates, the wealthiest families in Canada (Weston, Roger’s) have brought in record breaking profits. Sometimes I just think that if we had someone in power that had the foresight to understand and see what consequences decisions MAY have, it would be better. Managing and teaching a bunch of 16 year olds for 8 hours a day is extremely different than running a first world nation.

>Now if it’s a single sat the cost of production may end up being more than it’s worth "MAY"? It's pretty safe to assume the cost of manufacturing ANYTHING is greater than one satoshi (about 1/30 of one US cent). A single grain of rice costs about 2.5 satoshis.

One white paper DOES NOT CONTROL ALL OF CRYPTO. “Satoshi” is a fignent if your imagination. Crypto CANNOT survive without regulation. I do agree that buying early MAY lead to being ahead. But you have to be buying the correct tokens. There are over 25,000 tokens. You DO NOT have some kind of inside Information. You and I are just as blind as the rest of the market. Probably even more. Because there are people who are controlling Btc. They just don’t want you to know about it. Sbf admitted to manipulating the Btc using ftx. You think he’s the first person to do that? JPM banked MtGox in 2013. Then spoke badly about crypto for a decade. Now they have their own platform. NO ONE IS BEING TRUTHFUL. YOUR MONEY IS THEIR GOAL.

Really need watch that video. The manner in which it was carried out, with leverage was pretty safe. It was the collateral that made it all blow up.All through Genesis, a sister company of GBTC. I wouldn't touch it with a 3 foot pole after this. That said, a trust is set up different then a spot ETF, so a future spot ETF MAY work, but damn.

Read my actual words. I never said the price will go to zero. I said the value MAY be zero, FOR ALL WE KNOW. There are many things in this world where the price is a long way separated from its value. Doesn't mean i'm gonna short all of them.

Spaceseeds

Ice spent time in both, lived in the east to be fair where they are much 'poorer' by your standards get their cost of living is much more affordable. I get your point about medical, but that's just not true because you don't get paid nearly what we do in the states. Good jobs are probably what, 50k euro or so? In the USA people make upwards of 100k. So sure, I'd there's a really bad emergency, your scenario MAY come into play, but we also have jobs that give us health insurance such. I don't know where your misconception comes. People with no money go into medical debt but it's forgiven automatically if they are poor enough especially.

Ur_mothers_keeper

That's what I said, in simpler terms. There are a few core NIPs, you can find them by grepping the term "MUST", and a bunch of "MAY" NIPs, which aren't "baked in by design" but just options that clients can implement. They're a lot like XMPP XEPs.

UnsnugHero

The value of crypto MAY skyrocket further. And SOME people will get rich from crypto whether it does or not. What you seem to be saying is that you believe the gravy train has largely already left the station. There may be some truth in this, because the percentage gains enjoyed by early adopters are unlikely to be repeated, simply because crypto market cap is about $1tn now and any similarly large percentage gains would take the crypto market cap to infeasibly high levels.

Safest ? Good question .. none as all can declare bankruptcy and steal all of your account holdings .. fidelity brokerage MAY accept deposits .. fees are stupid high at 1% .. but they would be safest most likely Coinbase and Gemini and maybe rocketX are ok if small amount to trade ( like under $200k)

>How best to counter/educate someone on this argument? why do you want to? what's the matter? afraid they might be right? THEY MAY BE RIGHT. THEY MAY NOT BE. it doesn't matter to you or me whether they are. unless you've broken the first rule of crypto: Don't spend more than you can afford to lose.

bigshotdontlookee

Take a step back and look at the macro, crypto doesn't just "do stuff" in isolation to other markets. In fact when you look at the macro, it is kinda scary because the halvings line up with other macro events that people MAY mistakenly be correlating as "halving drives BTC price" instead of QE, Tbill rates, inflation.

I'm bullish on SOL for sure and think it's a novel idea to launch a phone, but I'm sticking with Apple.

SOL has been remarkably stable recently. I have read they MAY be better suited to handle quantum computing. If/when that occurs. Easier to apply updates to a more centralized system.

This sentiment MAY have been true in the past. The entire crypto market has been speculative from its beginning until now. But now that the Us government is pushing for clear regulations, the market will mature. There will be tokens whose prices are not dependant on btc. They will be priced based on their usage and utility. I do NOT consider Btc a store of value. People don’t keep their money there while it fluctuates 90% over a year. But IF YOU DO, what are they storing it for? My answer is that they are waiting for utility. And the very first token with real utility is xrp. It has legal clarity in the US. Ot is the basis of Fed Now. It is the basis of the new financial system. Xrp gains will absolutely SMASH Btc and eth.

>These types of post made the rounds the last cycle, this is where you really need to hodl. But are you HODLing because you believe that the fundamentals of the halving will prove the 4 year cycle to be correct? Or HODLing because the pattern shows that it happened the last few times, so should happen again? It absolutely MAY play out the same again, it is just far from guaranteed.

It MAY happen when people actually learn to use L2s instead.

And...."gasp"... the near 4 year cycle lines up near exactly with Wyckoff's composite man. OMG! The problem is human psychology causes near opposite decision making to profit from it. Most have problems doing the opposite when FUD and/or FOMO kicks in and get rekt. Drop emotions when making financial decisions and you may...MAY, have a chance. The answer is right in front of us. We just have to fight our nature to profit.

And again, you fucking losers are posting things from 2017. Ethereum is Proof is STAKE. Anything you MAY have thought about it pre merge is not accurate anymore. You can not prove decentralization in the ethereum alliance. All you can PROVE is total number of wallets. But there is a video of Joseph Lubin teaching whales how to disguise their identities; specifically so that they can disguise how much they own, and who owns how many. And yet you profess this to be equal to or better than Ripple? Based on the 0 information you have. You are just another bot. And I know this because they have a cut off date for information that you can access from chatgpt, for you to get this wildly false and outdated information. I am not butthurt. I am simply clearing up the MANY false statements both OP and yourself have chosen to TRY to disseminate. YOU, however, are a BOT. And a spreader of false information.

You are talking about an 8 year old article where the system worked, they discovered malfeasance and removed it and using that to say that it MAY be happening again?

Jon_Hodl

Supply of new coins is fixed, predictable, and inelastic while the demand is elastic. As the demand continues to increase or even stay the same but the supply of new bitcoin continues to slow, we will continue to see upward pressure on the price. As miners capitulate with difficulty adjustments and halvings, they may dedicate that capital to simply buying bitcoin instead of mining. If enough miners do this, the price is likely to increase. Additionally, this is the first halving where the supply of coins on exchanges is decreasing compared to a previous halving. All of these things MAY cause upward pressure on price as circulating supply get bought up. Oh yeah, some big companies named Black Rock, Vanguard, etc might start to buy some bitcoin but who knows if that’s actually true or not.

jonfoxsaid

Anyone else use sushiswap ? I have been swing trading this little side stack I have on there but all night the price has been much lower than CEX's I am tracking on trading view ... I dont have accounts there or I would be doing arbitrage all night haha. Anyways though I noticed that even though the price is lower on sushiswap alot of times when it is much farther ahead like just earlier when the price got up to .65 on MEXC it would say my moons where only worth like .56 or something close to that but then the amount of ETH I was swapping for would be valued much higher and closer to the CEX price of moons, like there was almost $100 difference at one point. I am familiar with slippage and stuff but have never really seen this, then again I really have never used a dex during this much volatility I normally prefer to be on a CEX at times like this. is that just basically showing the range of what I MAY get by showing a different value on each side or is it some mechanism that tries to make up the difference in price to slow down arbitrage ?

For short term it’s hard to tell. It MAY go back and test 16k so your 5k will look like 2.5k for a while but it will rally over the next 2 years to over 70k for sure (nothing is certain) so your 5k should be 10k easy. Long term though it’s never too late to buy in to BTC as it’s disinflationary, it will be worth $1m some day in the bit too distant future. You just got to try and buy at the bottom and sell at the top. Set a sell price in your head and be happy to sell at that.

Buy- Yes How- Over time though exchanges Custody Depends on Nation - Putin probably has the keys himself, they can figure it out. The more democratic the more people MAY be involved Job Change - Move wallets. That in a democracy It may seem more risky to developed nations. what about in the 3rd world or small counties that have weak or rocky defenses? they get invaded the gold is gone... The people that run nation-states are just a group of people. They will figure it out. How do you make more gold bars if your Kenya ? But if you have access to extra power you can mine and scale over time. Bitcoin isnt best for USA, CHINA etc but for the small war torn countries its crutial unless they run off with the money.

Ethereum will never die as it's constantly being updated and is the defacto safe smart contracts platform. Plus it'll be full of layer 2s using it as a backbone. Bitcoin MAY be in trouble, though not die, as it becomes so unprofitable that most miners quit it, resulting in a potential monopoly.

Pretty much sums it up. When did they win? Did they win when they bombed themselves in the Twin Towers? And who actually still believes the pancake theory and no other adulterants or operations were taken place to make the buildings collapse the way they did on the first or second I cant recall. But one falls extremely fast and yes a plain MAY cause this but it really shouldn’t have. There have been heat tests on the bars for buckling and they can but you need DIRECT CONSTANT Heat. Now I don’t know how long it was it seemed very long to me as a kid going to school normal watching kids tv or young teenage tv then blam another hit. I WATCHED it as a child alone while mum slept dad had gone to work. It was the craziest thing I ever saw. Maybe it was a repeat but I’m pretty sure around 6-7am Australia time AEST or AEDST that I saw it all and it was already on every channel bar maybe one that had news of another nature it was pure kids but even those all went to urgent breaking news and showed the twin towers. It was SO bizarre it was like the world was MADE TO SEE THIS… even me AGEs away in AUSTRALIA. Like every seriously every TV and radio station was playing or talking about it. I will always remember it and I never knew why I always thought omg Hijackers and the word starting with A and ending with A sounds like “a cow died eh?” You know but I ain’t saying it. You do then CIA is into your Max address or wifi/mobile ping address. So no thanks. Anyway idk who did it. I don’t and I don’t know if that A-A is the cause but for some reason they were apart of it for some reason and we know that it is a militant or militia for the Americas using who knows who from over in Afghanistan and the neighbouring areas. Anyway probably biggest conspiracy in modern times.

Isekai_Dreamer

i hate to be the one to tell you, but they already do. people are already getting arrested for thought crimes. for example: Hentai. You can draw a line on a piece of paper and suddenly that is a crime worth 10 years of imprisonment. Because you MIGHT hurt a minor. Sex dolls. They're really heavy so ppl buy them lighter and smaller than regular humans. And BAM, they're now considered child sex dolls. Hell, even if they were, nobody got hurt. And studies show that people who own sex dolls commit WAY LESS crimes than a regular joe shmoe. But nuuu...you're going to prison because some cock sucking politician thinks it MAY harm children. but fucking REAL children, and grooming REAL children is A-OK because you have the lgbbq label.

inevitable_username

You might wanna go easy on that hopium, OP. On a serious note, you are factually mistaken on several major points. \- Only 7.7% of all Bitcoin is left to be mined. The rest is already in wallets. Countries will not be competing to mine those scraps while early miners, whales and retail are sitting on 92.3% supply. \- Powerful countries aren't looking for decentralized currencies that will take control away from them. They are looking to strengthen and expand their dominance. \- Countries will not trade in something they don't have full control of. Bitcoin's supply and other core features MAY be altered if the majority of the network agrees on it. It is not impossible. \- Comparing BTC to Gold in terms of ease of use considering other means of payment currently available is a straw man fallacy. If anything, you just made a strong case for an international CBDC that the issuers wil lhave 100% supply and control of

Maybe with the hopes of being the early investors and cashing out before everything collapses. After around 8 hours, PonziCoin had attracted attention and the platform had collected around 250 Ether coins ( valued at more than $250,000). The info is from a 2018 article.

I do not have experience transferring from wealthsimple to hardware wallet and vice versa, but what you’ve laid out sounds about right. When you send it back from the hardware wallet to wealthsimple, you MAY need to also provide your WS addresses’s memo, which is another shorter “address” that specified which address specifically you’re sending the crypto to.

> cbdc is like adding a turbo booster to their current money printing schemes. MAY act as a turbo booster. Not necessarily WILL act. What it will do is gives the government more control over your finances, but it is not necessarily inflationary in nature. It can be narrowly targeted, and could be inflationary or deflationary depending on what the government needs at that moment. You are right to assume that CBDC will hurt the average person and you are right to want to try and avoid it if possible. But for everyday purchases, you may need to use CBDC because the alternative will be too burdensome. Just think about it like cell phones - they are enormously intrusive and track your location, and you could theoretically use a landline, but the advantages of using a cell phone (in most situations) outweigh the drawbacks for 99% of what you do. It will be a similar case with CBDC. The vast majority of people won't have a choice. It will be required to live in society and be a competitive and competent worker. That being said, in the words of [Cody Wilson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVi9m65lHGc): > Consider the words of Sir William Perry, great explorer of the northwest passage in his first exploration of the north pole. Seeing the Esquimaux build an igloo, he says that ‘all these measures are taken against the cold, and all in houses of ice.’ In the words of Ernest Junger- **an individual can defy superior forces: the state, society, the very elements themselves by making use of their rules without submitting to them.**

Possibly because they want to keep terms like this beaut of a clause in their TOS: >YOU AND COINBASE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 1.8, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Which basically immunizes them against clients bringing claims that would be automatic under securities laws.

In which case, your good valid point is still seen, its just not getting karma. In which case I would say, Welcome to the Internet. While not fair, there is no perfect system and bots are gonna bot.
