Vast Bank- A Tulsa, OK bank that lets people manage their traditional bank accounts and cryptocurrency side by side. Pretty cool. Sounds like adoption to me.

Alts,OK Trade Bitcoin for ISO 20022 .Don’t get left behind.RWA Fintech payment and tokenized assets
but hey, only suckers paid him, not the taxpayers. so it's OK in my book.
It's been like that on that sub for years. It was still OK up until about 5 years ago when it got increasingly uptight in there. One of the reason I started to use just this sub. In the past year or two, it got really easy to get banned there. At least here you're still allowed to question any coin, including Bitcoin, and bring up downsides and issues.
OK, so now I’m dreaming because of what you said! I might be able to actually do it someday instead of my 12-year-old Santa Fe although it’s been a very good vehicle not too sexy.
OK you convinced me just bought another $1k
Chaos there. Try enuff stuff hope get lucky some time. My gardening is like that. It maybe improved by learned .. I fig bito 30% PLUSINCREASE IN PRUCE ALL CIMPOUNDED. AT 20,000 BITO SHARES = 8000. / M0. BE OK!!?
Right, 2% less. OK. But the store of value you had and saved throughout last year will be preserved, and actually valued 2% more (assuming prices fell 2%). That's the idea behind store of value. Humans search for any kind of storing value and currently its gold, real estate, art and whatever comes to mind except the salary currency (that keeps melting with each passing day). BTC attempts to fill up the current inefficiencies - if exonomy were perfect we'd never have needed bitcoin. Bitcoin ideal would not be required in siffernt economy. Don't try to assume what-ifs.
He should’ve started stacking the day he first felt regret about selling. And he should still be stacking now. And if he hasn’t started re-stacking yet, he should simply start today. He’ll be OK man. He still believes way harder than most people in this world.
OK, so here is the truth: QC is horseshit FUD. Can't even factor reliably any number greater than 21 (legal drinking age), and it doesn't even do 21 very well. Can't do shit now and won't do shit ever. It's a pipe dream. You should waste zero time worrying about QC. If you do, you are gullible AF. The REAL threat to bitcoins is 'Sustainability'. Bitcoin and other POW chains are at high risk of being shutdown because of climate change. It's gonna be real easy to convince the public that this internet funny money needs to end because it consumes huge massive amounts of electricity.
OK you fuckers its true you can rag on the ETH price being more static then a turtles pecker but lets hear where you're staking your ETH. I have my ETH earning a modest % in two places on Kiln & Lido, reason being it was piss easy to set up and piss easy to administer as in set and forget. I welcome any comments about these providers as a staking platform and appreciate any more comments on whether I should consider other providers. Bitcoin and ETH is my main retirement plan, I will be retiring in my 40's living off the income these will provide. I see the Ethereum platform as having an insane future and right now its in its infancy, it will evolve to what the pc, internet and mobile phone are now.
I’m OK with all of the above bro
Oh, OK. Maybe I'm just dumb. That's how you write 9,988.00 in euros? You use switch the use for the decimal point and the comma?
Yea, that's true, while we might be OK for now, we never know what bullshit Reddit might pull in the future or if they change their team. At least Moons are no longer in the hands of Reddit, and can even be part of any external site. So even if Reddit changes, Moons can still stick around and do their own thing. Only Moon holders are in power, thanks to the DAO.
Saylor has more than 1 product to sell. He pitches it daily through various media, attracting new investors. It's a matter of time when he will pull the plug. Look at the MSTR chart, it's up 1000% in the last 2-3 years. The best you can ask for is 2x from now before he runs out of funds however, he'll be OK, he has Bitcoin. But most of his customers, will have a debt to settle.
I don’t smoke sativa, that shit makes you crazy, indicas are OK
That makes no sense. Bitcoin is not a good or a service; therefore, it isn't affected by inflation. You could say that about anything else under the sun that is not purchased as a good or a service. I think I understand our disconnect now. You're having trouble with the "reading comprehension" part of this. I never said that EVERYTHING gets more expensive because that would be incorrect. Bitcoin isn't really any "thing". It has no tangible value or use, it can not be analyzed with any traditional financial analysis method, it doesn't correlate with anything in the economy or markets, it was created by a fictional character, and the leader of the "faith and hope" based movement has little to no understanding of how the financial works (Saylor - the unsuccessful CEO who is putting all of his shareholders in jeopardy and setting himself up for the largest white collar criminal case in history). It's almost as if someone invented a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and then did an amazing amount of propaganda and marketing to attract uninformed and gullible people who are looking for a way to achieve financial success without working for it. Like every other fraud in history, this will blow up and cause an amazing amount of self-inflicted suffering to those who bought into the scheme. Believe it or not, I was trying to help. Out of respect for my time and interest, I'm OK if you don't reply.
OK - So just tell her to withdraw her $600. Then ask her to withdraw another $600 a week later. They'll just end up blocking her. For her coworker flexing 60k, ask her to withdraw it then as a test.
Calm down dude. I just wonder community's thoughts. I use sentimantal data in my trades, so think it's like a research, OK?
OK, that makes sense! I guess you're not from Europe, though. In Germany we pay €0.37 / kWh atm. 😢 I'd have to HODL for a very long time to end up net positive with those prices.
Elon knew that this was going to happen and he was OK with it. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, just another Dip for people to buy more. Even newsportals have started to report now... So I guess anyone should know what's going on right about now.
I am personally OK with ETF not cyrpto native as I am owning a code wallet lol. Diverisfy ways to store
That's like 1.5M. OP is 60, running some actuary tables, the median life expectancy is 20 years. 15% chance he makes it to 90, and 5% chance he makes it to 95. Assuming zero gains in Bitcoin price, that's .5 BTC per year to live off of and be reasonably safe he doesn't run out of money. Definitely tight to live off of in Syracuse, and even more tight if there's any kind of pullback to like 75k. If the price appreciates even modestly on average, you can definitely do OK, but a drawdown early can certainly hurt you a lot because it forces you to sell a significant chunk and then miss out on games if it recovers. And this of course assumes he's not paying the tax man, which will eat a good 20% of your money here if you do it.
39,000% gain in 10 years. Its OK to take some off the table at 5% off all time highs. There is way too much bullish sentiment on Twitter and Reddit, I've seen this story play out at least 4 times before.
No. They used it as a way to take bribes from everyone, including foreign actors. It's OK to be mad about that.
They'll feel like they're getting in late because they are. I had btc at 1k in 2016 sold in 2017 around 2k, thought u did OK as I doubled my money and needed the cash Then saw BTC go to 15k, 45k, 60k, 100k. Lost out on a x100 return, best I can do now is follow the sheep, get in late and maybe get a x5 or x10 in next 10 years.l and pretend I was some early investor.
Way to go OK_Rent! Impressive stuff! I hope to be as fortunate as you. Congrats again.
Ok so I've been reading the comments and there is a lot of confusion in your case so let's break it down. Your crypto is always stored on chain, it's never on Metamask or ledger or whatever, it's on chain (think of the chain as a bank). You access your crypto with the 12/24 words password (think of that as your account number). All metamask or ledger does is offer you a visual interface to interact with your crypto (like a bank app). The difference is in how each interface interacts with the internet, the chain and your computer or mobile. Metamask is a hot wallet, the password it creates for your crypto can be easily hacked, where ledger is known as a cold storage wallet so the password it creates for your crypto is much more secure. After 10 years maybe none of the 2 will exist anymore but that is OK as long as you still have your password because then you can just put that in the latest wallet software (or interface as I said earlier) that exists at that time and you will have access to your crypto.
I shared this conversation with a friend who thinks everyone you meet online is an arsehole as a counter example., hope you are OK with that. We have a bet now for a trivial amount about your reaction to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiWvlpSyzbw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiWvlpSyzbw) Is Sting being an arse in this or not. You are absolutely welcome to ignore us idiots.
OK, you’re talking to somebody who knows absolutely nothing so please explain?
OK, buddy. Been here for years. Just able to recognize when the hype train pulls into the station.
OK, I'll make it make sense. Buy BTC for the most part, and buy something connected to oracles, eg. ChainLink. 80% BTC 20% alts (oracles are a safe bet). Made it as simple as I can.
OK this is interesting but it's quite a different scenario than what I described. What if I need a chunk of fiat/cash, for a medical emergency or some other urgent reason. It might make more sense to borrow against your Bitcoin versus selling it. At least if you borrow against it you can still realize any gains that occur during you loan term. Worst case if it goes down you lose it, which you would have done anyways if you just sold it to get the cash. The 12% fee buys you the opportunity to realize the gains.
Its just getting harder to make large cash in BTC. Now to double your money you need BTC at 224K.. But if you get a good rate, maybe interest only payments, maybe could do something like BITY, it is suppose to pay 2% a month. Will it ?? but if you could get a good loan and if it did not work you would still be OK. But I would have some security cash before taking loans. Good luck
OK but the person selling the house gets a check that they can cash someware, with them and there. ... so I don't think the money is exactly "mage up" out of thin air quite like you suggest.
You can be 100% in BTC for the safest possible gains the only thing is you will need quite a bit of money in it to make much unlike with new plays. If you are OK with more risk then buying a decent amount of newer coins and old ones is best. Once the true bear market starts a year from now you can use the gains from the smaller coins and old ones to buy alot more BTC.
OK. Downvote me. Mark my words.. BC is going to drop 25% at least !
When you don't know the short term future but are confident the long term number will be higher, the only logical course of action is to put in the money asap. Your 400 a month is the DCA. Don't fuck around with weekly / daily / hourly purchasing bullshit. Get your bitcoin asap. You will never get the best price, and that's OK. You will also never get the worst price.
HBAR & XLM should be your only alt coin..... OK maybe 1 or 2 others
If you really have a coinbase account then you're OK, it's real tether and not reversable. Verify by logging into coinbase on a computer by typing in the address yourself, coinbase.com. If they shared a transaction number copy that and paste it into the search at etherscan.com and it should show the tether logo in the transaction details.
Not a real person. It's a pseudonym by the crypto graphic group that produced it. Ot was never meant to be so inflationary. It hadother purposes but people only look at the surface. I know people will say I'm wrong and that's OK. But that is not and never was a real person. It was a name they came up with. It's a literal cryptographic time bomb waiting to go off.
>Xrp is centralised shit! Centralization? OK, so if it is centralized shit tell me how just 1 of the things below can happen? how can Someone doublespend? how can Someone reverse transactions? how can Someone create more XRP? how can Someone censor a user from the network? how can Someone force a code update on the network? how can Someone owning XRP get rights to code base, validators, network and governance? The XRPL was the first blockchain that was not a Bitcoin clone The XRPL offered the first crypto decentralized exchange The XRPL and XRP are open-source Ripple did not create the XRPL and XRP Ripple does not own the XRPL and does not distribute XRP Ripple does not own the IP or Trademark of XRPL and XRP
This is why I don't encourage people to buy like that guy that bought at 108k. I feel like crap when I lose money. It's OK when it happens to me because I got all my money from selling bitcoin but I would feel even worse if I had worked for it.
OK, imagine you are Satoshi. You'd need to prove to the bank the ownership of your Bitcoins. How do you do that? Wouldn't we know his identity by now?
This is garbage. It doesn't work. What everyone pushing these ideas misses and doesn't explain is what do you give the bank after one month of taking out the loan. Then after two, three months and so on. How do you repay the bank on those monthly installments? And even if it's a yearly installment, or a balloon, what do you do at the end? Take out another loan? Will need to both repay the original one and the cost of living for the second year, so basically double the original amount. OK. Then comes year 2, now what? 3x the original amount? OK. Thing is, at some point the lender will say "Sorry, no mo. Pay me my money back" because the loan will be just too big. And then it all goes bust. It doesn't work. This is nearly criminal to push shit like this and I seriously hope nobody falls for it.
In principle this is OK but I can’t see that you’re actually regulated. Could I ask why? There’s no information about corporate governance here nor FCA numbers for the registration you probably need as a payment services provider, fund and/or regulated charity.
OK, no longer full bearish. The markets should have some positive reaction to a court ruling against the tariffs. Let's see how big it is
OK, so you should find your all addresses by going to Settings -> Wallets and Addresses -> Imported Bitcoin Addresses. [https://i.imgur.com/yqypcFR.png](https://i.imgur.com/yqypcFR.png)
OK guys, three things here: 1) ‘giant’ is doing heavy lifting here 2) this is still huge 3). Steak and Shake is a lil better than fast food
Slightly disagree. FIRE people often think that the system is designed to trap you and the way out of it is to run up the stairs and out the fire escape in the roof. Bitcoiners point out that there’s a fire escape on the ground floor and you can just leave without walking up 50 storeys. I’m working on both, but even though BTC is a big chunk of my portfolio my standard equities and bonds investments were my biggest contributions until very recently. Logical? No, but it gave me peace of mind. Bitcoin sounded too good to be true, but now if Bitcoin does drop 50% I’m basically OK anyway. Not rich, but not left with nothing.
I have a TANGEM WALLET WITH 2 card is this OK GUYS OR WE NEED OTHER?
That’s OK it won’t matter in a couple of hours cause this thing is going to the moon
OK kids we are up to 173K views so please pass it on. Let’s keep this going viral. And everybody was kung fu fighting…
That’s OK next time just look a little bit closer
OK, is that reasonable? It’s not that much but if it’s standard on Robin Hood and other platforms, I can understand.
Crypto? Bitcoin is in a different league than any centralized asset. Comparing bitcoin to crypto is like comparing apples to oranges. I understand why Crypto people do it because they ride the waves off of bitcoins movement, but the only reason crypto moves is that people don't fully understand the differences between the two and there's always new retail investors they're gonna come in and make the same mistakes thinking that crypto projects have better use cases than bitcoin. Honestly, it's a noob mistake, but a common one - It's why I reallocated 10k in 2019-'21 into crypto ... it didn't work out, but there were lessons learned so it's OK. I was a bag holder, but if I would've just left it in bitcoin I would've been better off in the long run. Read Jeff Booth's The Price Of Tomorrow, or watch his interview with Robert Breedlove on YouTube. Also recommended, The Bitcoin Standard, The Big Print, and Lyn Alden's Broken Money.
OK, now this is a usecase I would support
That's OK. He doesn't need an exit. He can just borrow against his Bitcoin holdings.
Sorry I am honestly not too knowledgeable in what the outcomes of FTX/Mt Gox were proceeding bankruptcy. Did users lose funds? Were their lawsuits? Jesse Powell, who founded Kraken worked as a consultant for Mt Gox and left to created Kraken as he saw the market was failing(info from Wikipedia so take that how you will). If I end up not receiving my funds, are there any actions that can be taken on my end to litigate against Kraken? If you do not know that is OK - thought I'd put it out there just in case.
Bitkey is OK, but it's important to remember that ultimately it still sacrifices safety for convenience. It's definitely not as bad as Ledger/Tangem, but it's not as good as Coldcard, Jade, Trezor, or Seedsigner. Bitkey can be fine as a stepping stone to introduce Bitcoin to new users who can be overwhelmed by technical details, but anyone serious about long term cold storage should learn the basics of multisig and implement them to protect their coins, using a wallet that gives the user full control over their keys and how/where they are stored.
For one, it is rude. Also, stupid - he is one of the greatest investors and businessmen ever, just because he was not a fan of one particular asset doesn't mean that it's OK for us to badmouth him.
Mortgage = low cost leverage if you can service it. Many assets (not just BTC) will outperform the interest rate, just be sure you don't get trapped in a variable-rate situation where that could change on you any time. Some people feel mortgage debt as a burden and can't feel OK until it's gone. This is irrational, but most people would say peace of mind is more important than money. Personally I wouldn't have peace of mind if I knew my limited capital was so drastically under-utilized, so there's a good chance I will never pay off my own mortgage.
Let me clarify that, my total investment into cryptocurrency is an amount that I am still up about 15% from, but yesterday it was looking really nice. It’s OK it will turn around and shoot for the moon again… Funny thing is I am all about HODL but I was having cash flow problems because I don’t get paid on a certain day and my timing this month was a bit off and I’ve been putting all my extra money into bitcoin mostly, I almost said the hell with this crap and cashed it out last night and if I had I actually would have made a Very decent profit for the amount of time and the amount of money I invested any investor would be thrilled with taking the profits I could have taken at their peak last night but instead I just did the math realized that the overdraft fees in my bank account are 1/3 of what it will cost me if I don’t HODL so that’s what I am doing still. It would take an absolute emergency with my children to cash it out, funny enough it is for my kids that I am spending almost all of my extra money, of course I leave a little cushion because I have kids and also the crypto is always the last ditch effort back up plan… It’s different when you have kids shit I would probably Let my ass go homeless for a year or so and just put all of my money into bitcoin for one year, be absolutely miserable but then in five years when everybody starts to see small profits I will own a couple of bitcoins because I could afford a couple of bitcoins if I did not have any bills to pay Or Children to support lol.. and to be clear I am raising my four and six year-old daughters without any help financially or otherwise.
You actually don’t even need one. They just make looking up your private key a little easier. Learn about master seed phrases, BIP85 Index child seed phrases, Addresses and Private Keys. Bitcoin is stored on the blockchain, not in wallets. I was a total newbie when I first started and was helped tremendously by Shayne, over at BetterHumanz https://betterhumanz.org/ref/bitcoinsecuritybasics/ He has some great video courses covering all the basics to get you educated before taking that leap. There are a ton of things to learn! It’s OK to get started on exchanges, but ultimately you want to withdraw it into your own wallet that you fully control, so be sure to understand how to correctly set that up and keep it safe.
How fucking cooked are you if you think the current admin has saved money? Look at their latest bill, they want to add another 3.1 trillion of debt. But they saved 100m$ (which is unverified btw) so then it's all OK?
I've been trying to get rich for 30 years now. I'm not broke and I do OK. Am I a failure?
Agreed. I've been doing OK with BTC, not Lambo OK, but OK. If I made enough to purchase a Lambo, the last thing I'd do is blow it all on an unnecessarily expensive form of transportation. My Honda hybrid does the job just fine.
This was a block handcrafted by a miner. It bypassed every single node before it was mined. There is nothing that any node could do about this. Stop blaming core for this. It's the consensus of the entire network to allow this. Knots, mako, btcd, core and all other nodes are OK with this and I challenge you to find a change in the consensus ruleset to prevent the case presented here without breaking bitcoin itself.

If you can withstand an 80% pull back (remember it went from 69K down to 15K 4ish years ago) and be comfortable continuing making your payments, you'll be OK.
Unfortunately, this book kinda sucks for the most part, with weird unhinged rants and a teenager-level hate for Keynes. I mean, it's OK to disagree with Keynesian economics, but you don't have to spit your hate every 3 paragraphs, we got it the first time... As for music and art appreciation... Apparently the gold standard gave us Mozart while fiat gave us Miley Cyrus, but let's conveniently forget that Mozart died in poverty (among others). Anyway, still an interesting read for the Bitcoin parts, so maybe 1/4 of the book?
I get that this is the standard response parroted on every post. It's a fair statement. But as someone who holds bitcoin long term due to its hedge against inflation or devaluation... isn't it OK to be happy that it's working?
It's paid for all our houses at this point and just chilling now 16% dividends on some per year and goes up! Obviously won't won't around forever but for the short run next 5-10 years seems OK wod need to be a world change and new technology for it to go away then the world would be different anyways probably fade away In 50-100 years I guess when we have crazy tech
You can't just grow your debt forever. There is some level of LTV where you would not be comfortable with the loan, and would prefer to sell your BTC. However, many people also prefer not to manage any loans. For me, it feels just nicer to live debt-free. I understand that it makes financial sense to take loans, but for me, having obligations towards someone just doesn't feel good. I'm OK with having less BTC and living debt-free (ofc depending on amounts/details).
OK first, check out [https://www.youtube.com/@DELI\_FM](https://www.youtube.com/@DELI_FM) it is really funny for crypto news and live 24/7! Second, what makes you the best in this space? Sell me on why to use this over other options or ones that don't give u crypto (which u can just take and use to buy crypto yourself). Do you pay the highest or... what makes u better than the rest? I built one of these sites 15-20 years ago (and sold it off) so I know the industry pretty well.
a better question - what's the incentive to manipulate the price of bitcoin downwards? the only way to do that is to dump your bitcoin for fiat into a market that will gobble it up in a few minutes, hours, days... OK, now what?
OK, I’ll bite. How is Fiat going to be different?
OK, keep your head in the sand. You can have all the alternative facts that you want...
Republicans: Dems had a pedo ring in a pizza place, so I can rape babies and that makes it ok! It's like whataboutism where it's their idiotic debunked conspiracy about any Democrats dead or alive makes their actual documented and admitted corruption OK.
OK so based on this logic people will start buying it en masse when 1 sat = $1. You know it's infinitely divisible right?
That's the real question. Not stacking while you're still generating income is basically like selling, and the question is, of course, sell for what? OP mentions a paycheck, which even assuming a high paying job at $500K/year, "only" puts them at 200BTC or $20M net worth. Everybody has their goals, and it's perfectly OK to just stop and live a life of leisure and consumption, but $20M nw is nowhere near the top. If OP wants to build more wealth, there are certainly ways to do it, and Bitcoin can definitely help. To me it looks like their problem is not the stacking. It's the job. If your paycheck is 0.1% of your nw, then it's probably time to get a better paying job, possibly start building a business.
That's a funny thing... back then I was afraid that I would lose them because they were effectively in a "paper" wallet. I had a stack of Casascius bitcoins ( bought 30+ of them, 1BTC, back in 2012 from Mike Caldwell ). So I peeled five of them, redeemed them on Coinbase then transferred them to a cold wallet. I probably should move them again onto a Trezor but as long as there are sufficient backups of my current wallet schemes I'm OK with where they are for now. I still have a few of the old Casascius BTC's... but they are more "at risk" than the ones I have stored more traditionally in a cold wallet. Physical bitcoins were a funny-haha thing back then, but I'd have a heart attack if I lost the physical coins these days.
It's OK to spend Bitcoin, just don't sell it.
I'm definitely not an expert on this - but it's an interesting question for sure. I know that there is a lot of info out there on whether Bitcoin is sound from an Islamic perspective as they have strict rules around investing etc. Some high profile leaders in the space have come out for it, signalling that it is OK, and there are Islamic businesses built specifically around Bitcoin (check out HAQQ Network for example) - but others are still not convinced. For other religions I'm not aware of such strict rules on financial concepts and strategies.
