Funny how no one here can answer a question. Just spread that 1000 out OP. Some now and some after the halving.

Mentions:#OP

I get people are saying do what ever you want, but I think OP wants some sort of analysis. I’m sure their are companies and individuals who have prediction models that have factors like the likely hood of miners dumping after the halving, or other variables that they have noticed that have historically effected the price. It’s hard for me to believe that there are not any companies that have a decent prediction model. I understand Reddit is mainly regular retail. The answers OP is looking for is not going to come from Reddit. DCA is king

This is a stealth personal finance post, with all the actual key details missing. Unless OP lives in sub-Saharan Africa on $1 a day, 1K is so little that this level of concern belies some other issues, most likely budgeting, but maybe also income. Budgeting is far easier than 10x-ing your income, so I would think cutting lattes is more important than YOLO timing. I would just put it all in, and then take a look at a budget and job, so there is another 1 K ready to go in next month !

Or they'd be set for life by taking out loans against it? Set for life on loans? Good grief what a ridiculous comment. Here's the reality - .2 BTC isn't setting anyone up for life, anywhere, unless you live in an impoverished country and can scrape by. I have much more than .2 and even I have no delusions it will set me up for life.

I think OP would have concerns ( whether valid, or unfounded ) about entities owning too big a share of bitcoins. Not about the bitcoin network. It is not about double spending, or forcing changes consensus rules. As in, hypothetically owning 30% of all US dollars without controlling VISA or controlling banks, can bring up such questions.

#Bitcoin Cash Pro-Arguments Below is a Bitcoin Cash pro-argument written by roberthonker. > **Taken from u\/thegreatmcmeek's submission from the last round** > > - To me, having multiple node implementations rather than a single client is one of the most important pros any crypto can have. It encourages competition and innovation, but also allows for the sharing of ideas so the ecosystem as a whole can grow. Most importantly, it removes the attack vector of controlling development through the repo gatekeepers - if the devs decide to implement (or not implement) changes which the network wants, there is likely to be an alternate node implementation which they can use instead > - There have already been significant demonstrations of the network capacity, both in terms of high numbers of tx/s, and sustained BTC-level volume over months - neither of which resulted in increases in miner fees, delays in transaction confirmation times, or drop-off of active node counts. It's clear at this stage that the argument that large blocks lead to centralisation is not only flawed, but flat out wrong > - Development on the BCH chain has been incredible over the past few years. The reactivation of OP_RETURN, the memo protocol, SLP tokens, Coloured Coins, SmartBCH, Cashfusion, Cash accounts, self-hosted payment gateways, schnorr sigs, non-segwit malleability fix, chained 0-conf transactions, the list goes on > > The question to ask about BCH is ultimately, what is it trying to be? > > It's trying to be decentralised peer-to-peer digital money for the whole world. It's not a meme coin, or a vehicle for the wealthy to store their value at the expense of the poor, nor a centrally-controlled coin targeting a specific financial niche. It's the Bitcoin you read about in the whitepaper all those years ago, just using decentralised development and under a different name. ***** Would you like to learn more?

I've been in crypto for 7 years and couldn't agree more. Life changing money can be made with BTC + ETH + Patience. Don't get caught up in shitcoin hype, as OP says, the space is mostly completely useless tokens

Mentions:#BTC#ETH#OP

OP is an extremist, his advice is great, assuming one day we see a massive valuation. But let's consider another alternative, 20 years from now Bitcoin has dwindled into obscurity, perhaps a better tech came along, perhaps large institutions pull out or governments make it extremely hard to buy and sell and people get scared, imagine in 20 years the price has dropped below $1000 and the only thing keeping the ecosystem is alive are extremists and a few people clinging onto hope that Bitcoin will rise once more. Imagine in this scenario, at its peak, you were holding a 6 or 7 figure valuation, and you let it piss all the way down to a few thousand, you would be kicking yourself. Nobody knows what the future holds, nothing is too big to fail, I'd like to think 20 years from now Bitcoin is a leading store of value and asset globally and is worth mid to high 6 figures, but I sure as shit will be taking some profits along the way to hedge against the fact the whole deck of cards might fall over some day.

This is the right answer. OP is only interested in btc for a quick buck. Guaranteed they sell after a 20% dip.

Token governance is a meme in almost all cases. Look at what happened to ARB: the community actually voted for something the team didn't want and the team just ignored the vote and went ahead with what they were going to do originally. Also it's hard to ignore the VC aspect of OP. I mean the foundation just did a $90M private token sale and won't even tell us who purchased them. If OP was all about funding developers vs repaying investors, you could do something like take a small fee from each transaction and put it into a developer fund.

Mentions:#ARB#VC#OP

I'm seeing mostly reports of people losing funds in safepal thinking it was safe in cold storage but it's a shitcoin wallet so they interact with malicious smart contracts that wipe their funds. But that shouldn't apply to Bitcoin so makes me think the device was tampered with.. or as you say maybe there's something exploitable with how the hardware device works with the corresponding app. I'm sorry this happened to you OP, it's hard to say how but somehow they got you.

Prices move towards the cost of production, assuming there is demand. If production costs continue to rise (+ difficulty, and - reward) by OP's logic, .2 BTC would be a sizeable amount of money. Probably in the neighborhood of $800,000 under current regime. Whether or not the market can sustain that is anybody's guess.

They mentioned Luna is still around. The fact they won't write off completely failed projects proves they're only interested in making money off suckers and selling their bags.

You read this as a sign of going down??? Wow then don't touch 99.9% of exchanges.

I hope I'm not wrong, but I think you are FUDing, karma teaping or just new / not trusting (=good)

What are you talking about? The OP could insta sell their NFTs into a bid on Magic Eden right now for .11 eth (currently $386).

> Yea not sure about that USA didn't get 200,000 BTC through buying them they confiscated them. You are fundamentally confused about the very basic concepts under discussion. There is one and only one way for anyone ever to take your bitcoin, and that is for them to take your private keys. Absent that, it is impossible for anyone to confiscate your bitcoins, because the protocol is trustless. Compare that to the fiat banking system, where, with the wave of a magic wand, they can freeze your account, or empty it, for any reason or none at all, as OP has unfortunately discovered. I would suggest you go read a book or two on the subject of monetary systems.

Mentions:#USA#BTC#OP

I'm progressive as well and my bags are doing great, but I think OP is right as well. The vast majority of left media really makes any crypto the boogieman. It has everything to do with how it's presented to people as being for criminals and destroying the environment through power consumption.

Mentions:#OP

If anything, the left is usually the side trying to ban crypto and make it harder to mine, etc. these days. What reality is OP living in?

Mentions:#OP

Exactly. Clearly there’s value somewhere. Hosts also like them. It’s the pain with dealing with a new reality. And it’s yin and yang. In each example from OP there are gains in losses.

Mentions:#OP

Huh? What were you agreeing with exactly? OP said that, due to politics, they had certain assumptions about reddit's views on crypto, then mtgnew said crypto started with certain political affiliations, and has sense shifted and gained support from others. Everyone here seems to recognize how politics have affected crypto except for you. It hasn't been 'tainted' with politics, it literally started as a political movement.

Mentions:#OP

>"anti establishment" <- You mean the giant trillion dollar hedge funds and corporations who are investing heavily in crypto and crypto ETFs? Yes. I also find it interesting that OP regards Warren and her supporters as 'establishment' and crypto as 'anti-establishment'. Last I looked people with real power and wealth were not lining up in her support. The reason Warren is anti-crypto is not for its promises (occupy! banking the unbanked! UBI!), but *for what it so far turned out to be.* Look at it this way: why is the space, with all its promises of change, not full of Warren supporters? (I can think of one reason and there is an x in the word)

To answer OP’s question for the US specifically, you can join the dozens of weirdos and sovcits who go to court to protest “government overreach” and regularly get pummeled by the legal system, because opting out of laws you don’t like for some reason doesn’t work 🤔 there’s even a mini genre on YouTube of lawyers mocking sovcits in court

Mentions:#OP

Who is OP?

Mentions:#OP

Geez the low-karma-fruit posts are out in force today. Take a look at OP's profile.

Mentions:#OP

That's not true. Like either of the claims. In OP you claim that BTC was 1% today ... so I assume you referred to change of price against USD. So the sake of argument let's assume that inflation is what you say it is and that it is possible to measure it in %. Then, if USD changed it's purchasing power also by some %, your claim that BTC inflation was 1% is not valid because you did not account for USD "inflation". So that's obviously wrong how you work with it. But then the whole concept you are working with is nonsensical as follows: > CPI is the indexed price of a basket of general goods. If CPI increases, the dollar is worth less in real terms. That is what I am saying. This is not true. CPI only includes some very few and very carefully selected goods. So, for example if you want to buy a certain property on real estate market, it's entirely possible that its price in some period of time went from 1m USD to 900k USD while at the same time CPI was +5%. But you are saying that the dollar is worth less in real terms because CPI was positive. And yet, you bought the property for fewer dollars, meaning your purchasing power was greater. That's a contradiction and clearly shows that you get it wrong. > If BTC drops 50% for a year, that same basket of goods in real terms would cost far more sats. Unless USD increased more than BTC decreased, which you did not account for as explained earlier. But more importantly, the basket of goods is arbitrary and irrelevant and thus can not be used for anything meaningful.

Mentions:#OP#BTC

OP is part of the scam. He's the PUMP in PUMP AND DUMP.

No, I didn't say anything incorrect. What I said is completely right and you're just trying to manipulate words to suit your view. What did OP say? >serving a 2x life sentence, all for creating the 1st major Bitcoin marketplace Did he get sentenced for creating a Bitcoin marketplace? No. He was sentenced for creating a marketplace that sold illegal drugs. That is literally pretending he didn't do anything illegal, as opposed to saying something like "his sentence is too harsh for the crime he committed, which shouldn't be illegal anyways". You're the one who decided to characterize this as a question of morals when my original point is OP conveniently leaves out that he's in prison for breaking the law. Furthermore, you've stated your position that "drug laws are wrong". Well that is your opinion and that's it, YOUR opinion. Plenty of people think drugs are wrong and should stay illegal. But ultimately, the fact remains that Ross broke the law and is in prison for breaking the law

Mentions:#OP

I'm not sure I agree on that. The wiki dust attack article seems to be written from a "all cryptocurrency" perspective, especially with the mention of smart contracts at the end. I don't think a bitcoin transaction that is processed on the blockchain would allow the "sender to access the receiving wallet". Which makes OP's situation even stranger, like why would someone attempt a BTC dust attack if it cant work? My ignorance is showing so I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable will chime in and save me!

OP: I am trying to HODL Bitcoin as a store of value, in addition to other assets in a portfolio. I tried to put together a series of assets going from low to high volatility, so that if I am forced to liquidate, I can start with the low vol assets first. So, in increasing order of volatility and risk I have: 1. Cash USD: I know fiat is getting devalued but one still needs a healthy amount. I have it in a high yield savings account giving 4.5% interest 2. VTINX: 30/70 stock/bond fund 3. VBIAX: 60/40 stock/bond fund 4. SPY: S&P500 index fund 5. QQQ: Tech stocks index fund 6. Bitcoin ETFs This way, I will touch my bitcoin last in the event I need to liquidate. And hopefully, that gives me the choice of when to do so - in a bull market

If you're engaging in forex investing, yes. If you're simply travelling to Switzerland, exchanging $1k for CHF, spending the money, then travelling back home, then no. So, you do have a claim to an argument with BTC. However, I guarantee you none of the degens in this sub are interested in buying a few sats and spending them all, and it certainly wasn't expressed thus in OP's post. (Unless they clarify that they're just buying BTC to spend it all right away, which with BTC's appreciation as of late is really quite dumb.) I should mention though, that if you go out and buy sats to spend them almost immediately and it hardly appreciates, you won't have a capital gain, or perhaps you'll have a loss, which works both ways—you can claim that as a loss on your returns to pay *less* tax. So there's that.

Did you ever understand what OP means? He means that buzz word and its hype is wind in the air. It is temporary and it will diminish. So as the projects/tokens behind it. So what he means is projects that are so solid that they don't even need any fancy promises will prevail. That's btc, doge whatever. But for example you'll never heard of 99% of the depin projects in the next cycle

What a weird question. OP is obviously planning ahead for when shit hits the fan

>Would not recommend just “getting into business” with no experience. And especially one that very likely is nothing close to your passion. > >This sounds like a sure fire way to throw a bunch of money away. Yes, my reply didn’t have much exposition, but notice I did not say to buy a business with which you have no experience. I did not say get a whole bunch of experience in that business either of course, so I can understand your assumption. On that topic, experience in the business type is good, sure, especially for a first-time business owner. As the person gains experience in owning businesses, that becomes more important than the down-and-dirty nuts and bolts of whichever business type it is. Being passionate about the business would not be important to OP. That’s important for people who love what they do and want to make it into a business they can work in. OP wants passive income, something he can make money from without working in it. It would be a good bonus for the honest competent manager to be passionate about the work. But really you just need them to be honest and competent. Passion can be a real detriment if it drives someone to get into a business that is not very profitable, and the person thinks they just need that passion to be a successful business owner. Think independent restaurants. Many people are great cooks and can generate a dozen great meals. If their passion for cooking has them open up a low-margin restaurant they dropped all their life savings into or took a big loan for while they work seven days a week ten hours per day since they can’t afford to hire a manager, then yeah that could end in disaster and does all the time. But at least they have a passion for it. But buying a business doesn’t have to be a surefire way to throw a bunch of money away. Research what is profitable in your area and, again, profitable enough to pay someone to manage it for you. Learn how to be a successful business owner. It is figure-out-able, it’s not rocket science, and shit ain’t hard. Don’t take the last phrase literally; it’s just an expression synonymous with the first two. Many people don’t put in the time or effort to figure it out before or as they jump in leading to the many failures. See those restaurants you’ve seen come and go in your city.

That's a private key associated with $10 of bitcoin. OP wanted to see how fast it would be grabbed and spent.

Sure, of course you still have to work, maybe just not as long. I agree that most people will not accumulate enough to be truly life changing. I adopt the ‘every little bit helps’ mantra there. OP seems to be trying to incite us to talk about price over utility. The reason I got involved in 2013 wasn’t price, it was the technology and the utility it provided. Just got lucky on the price part.

It’s better to be lucky than good. In any case I’m glad it worked out for OP. That’s a huge life milestone accomplished

Good stuff OP. In 2020 I sold most of my BTC for my down payment on my house. Thankfully I was able to buy more BTC these past 3 years before it shot up again.

OP is this close to discovering what a pump and dump is. There was a time where you could add .com to your company name and 10x in value. If you want to find out how that worked out, it was so notorious they literally named the bubble after it

Mentions:#OP

Seeing so many hate comments here. The best suggestion I can tell you is that try to catch the strategy before putting your money. Crypto can make your money to massive pump or massive dump if you catch the strategy or know about the markets well. Have some more study. Best of luck, OP!

OP: Guys lets make another pump and dump coin #comedy

OP: temper your expectations. I have 2.65 BTC and I have no illusions that I can live off it. BTC is just another asset in my portfolio - and given its volatility and lack of history, it’s a small part of my portfolio.

This is the simplest way of explaining the value and power of Bitcoin to folks who are skeptical. Good stuff OP

OP didn't specify what FIAT? You only have 1million zimbwaban papers worth of BTC.

OP has literally said they are looking to multiply their money.

In addition to OP's reply, Coinbase does also have lower fees on maker orders (i.e. I post an order) vs. taker orders (I fill someone else's order that they posted).

OP said they want to run 50.

Pretty sure Refan is objectively talking about $5k not 5k BTC. In the first part of his comment he literally says that he bought $500 worth @$15. That’s 33 BTC and change. Where did the 5k Bitcoin come from..? He then says “it was a fun weekend and all” implying the bulk of BTC was used for something similar as to OP’s post. Then he says the remaining BTC he had, which would be worth a few cents at the time (not the whole $500 he worth he bought) would be worth 5k in current times, clearly referring to $$s. If he had 5k BTC that means at the time he would have spent $75k @$15 a Bitcoin which there is zero evidence for in his comment. OP getting mass downvoted, Reddit is so redacted. Comment was perfectly legible and self explanatory, don’t be lazy and read next time y’all.

There's a difference between the technology and the content. Netflix is objectively better than blockbuster. Both of them carried trash movies that are largely harmful to the mind and human soul. They also contain some good. When comparing the two, it's clear which is a superior product. One is cheaper, faster, easier, and mobile. The other is not. Therefore, OP's point stands

This is the content I stay on this sub for. Great stuff OP. I’m gonna give it a spin!
