Copypasta.. Trezor Safe 5 is very nice to use @ $170. Touch screen, swiping, very smooth. Works with PC wallets and Android wallets. Coldcard MK4 @ $168 is great if you just want to park stuff there and pull it out on rare occasion. It's usable of course, but the dot matrix looking menus and clicky buttons offer somewhat clunkier usability. It would take me longer to do a function with MK4 VS Safe 5. The budget "set it and forget it" option I would also recommend (and own) is Trezor Safe 3 @ $80. All of these options obviously come with top notch safety, secure elements, whole nine yards, not just "looking pretty." I own several others older types but don't recommend them.

Expectations of 60 Mins Crypto segment last night at 7pm EST US. The piece featured Ripple's Garlinghouse VS what actually happened = loss of confidence and profit taking, tanking price, making it cheaper to buy in again lol A LOT of people were betting on an announcement of some sort from him and casr positive light on crypto finally amongst general public. What happened was the opposite--the piece was rather negative and edited some crucial info out, painted crypto as a security, and featured some strong Anti-Crypto voices. The sentiment was not good amongst X and Reddit afterwards.... XRP dropped a good 10 percent after the interview and it seems market followed

Bitcoin Investor VS Bitcoin Investor: The wealth transfer of bitcoin investors only occurs with others who also invest in bitcoin. It has zero effect on people who don't buy into bitcoin at all. It is Akin to watching a poker game from the outside, it wont effect you the least bit if one person or the other "wins" the pot. Essentially, Bitcoin investors can only eat themselves. This is ironic as all the posts within their Bitcoin circles act like they are in it "together", when it in fact the only people they are competing with is other Bitcoin investors. Then you can add on top of this fact that a small minority (roughly 5%) own something close to 90% of all the bitcoins which they purchased for pennies.

I understand the draw and the fomo, seeing it shoot up, feeling like you are missing your shot! BTC should be looked at as more of a long-term store VS a get rich quick. In its current state, long-term 5-10 year models have it at 500k to 3 million, per BTC. So, knowing that, lets say you put in 30k RN and get .3 BTC.. In 2030, everything lines up and 1 BTC is 1 million bucks! You have turned your 30K into 300k! Not too shabby Lets say by 2035 your BTC is now 2 Million, now we have 600k and so on. There are a number of base cases, and, if you want to totally fan-out we drink what Michael Sailor is and say BTC is 14 million by 2040, and your .3 BTC is 4.2 Million bucks. The moral of the story, is, we don't know. THe best time to buy BTC was yesterday, the second best time is today. BTC typically has big correction of 29 - 39% but we also have huge run-ups. The likely hood of seeing 30K again is slim especially with ETF trading, the, IMO have added a stablizing factor as a lot of people are tapping 401k Monies, so, they can't touch it anyhow so might as well let it ride

Confucius. thank you for all this BTC info. we easily agree on all your explanations on fiat vs hard, etc. and the overall economic correlations. and thus since roughly 2015 i've always been curious on BTC.. But i am a staunch stock investor, who steadily doubles the return of the S&P500 Y/Y w/leverage ETFs, and a strict money management system.. Every dollar i take out of the S&P has to beat the S&P, or i lost return over the duration i held the other asset.. w/ S&P now @ super-highs, i booked a ton of profits, and the cash went to some great long term life goals & ZERO CC debt now!! Going forward at these market highs, it becomes more difficult to beat the S&P so i'm looking to spread out. i figure why not try holding some currencies. got some British Pound. Can't buy any more gold at these levels (so i got some platinum lol). and now i'm back looking at the BTC charts !! i messed up on the boom cycle of 2017. then missed out on the 2022 trough opportunity. now here we are back at highs trying to break a multi-year triple top. That chart is hard to look at as a swing trader who also wants to go long BTC as we now have a super-catalyst & tailwind in Trump.. again, every dollar i move from Equities has to beat the S&P, (or at least not lose much performance VS it). my portfolio is 7 figures & i can not have periods of say 3 months where a secondary volatile asset goes through a 30% drought while the S&P goes up, etc.. so, any thoughts if you were me. looking at this BTC chart, how aggressive/ non-aggressive would you begin to allocate off Equities and into a BTC position??? thank you, great stuff

Solana and other chains are pushing the industry to almost free transactions. That does come at a cost. Spam for one. Solana has been a victim of that. For Ethereum this means less burning. But even now Ethereum's inflation of around 0.5% is less than Bitcoin's current inflation of 0.83%. And a lot less than Solana's inflation of 6-7%. A slow inflation might not be bad for Ethereum in the long run because it would help push the market cap even if there is zero price action. And that could have a psychological effect. If Solana's token price stays the same the market cap still grows 6-7% per year because of inflation. It looks good on paper. He, Solana's market cap increased by 7%! Bitcoin will need higher transaction fees to offset decreasing miner rewards every 4 years. The issue is if Bitcoin is a store of value and people HODL it then where would all these transaction fees come from? The fees would have to be enough to maintain the same hash rate and decentralization. Look at this comparison of Base VS Solana https://i.redd.it/bo3niw7auqxd1.gif

As I wrote in my longer comment to your reply in this post, I don't see those particular information as being misleading or technically incorrect (and I listed the reasons and arguments). Nevertheless, I am happy to correct anything which is absolutely incorrect and I will do so. Regarding Telegram/Newsletter signup, well, I know it can look like scam, because unfortunately internet is full of them. I am new to X (since few days) and don't have many followers, so obviously there will be certain level os scepticism. But that's okay. I was counting on that. It's normal when you start something new. Reason why I went with Telegram option VS standard email signup is the simply due to simplicity, both for me and those interested in my future content. Bitcoin has so far transformed my perception of certain aspects of life, and it's because of that gratitude to the technology that I decided to make this website. I plan to be sincere, because that's my life philosophy. I left link to my other website under "About" for those interested to learn more about me as a person. I don't have anything to hide.

Seems like Windows VS Linux. Linux users seem to be so used to work in environments for programmers they forget that not everyone is a programmer. But maybe that's why at least some exchanges and coin loan services will actually survive and be the new types of crypto banks (or maybe get bought up by traditional banks?). Crypto fanatics are vehemently against such services but they ignore the upsides of ease of use and (once established) they also guarantee they keep it safe. If they make a mistake they will have to pay you. If you make a mistake it's gone forever.

Yes, but not necessarily. In a VHCOL area, it is not uncommon for an average house to cost over $1m and a 3br rental (thinking of a family of 4) to be $4k/mo+. Add that those who earn more tend to grow their lifestyles. Everyone hustling or working stressful jobs likes to treat themselves, no matter what their income. As you grow your income, those treats become more expensive - ie all inclusive hotel VS Airbnb, or a BMW VS a Honda. Yes, it is a level of priority, but also not something anyone should judge, if they aren't living in that person's shoes.

The nodes upholding/enforcing the consensus rules is what makes the network itself. No nodes means no network. Few nodes means small network. A lot of nodes means a large network. In a decentralized network, more nodes means more robust. A quick comparison/reference is the bittorrent network. The seeds of a given torrent is what makes up the network for whatever that shared file(s) is. More seeds means more robust. Imagine if you're part of the FBI and the shared file is some pirated stuff that needs to be taken down. It's a whole lot harder to take down the network of several seeds VS a couple seeds. Note that taking down in this context means the network should go down/offline. It's the same thing with the bitcoin network. More nodes mean it's harder to get it offline. Note that a 51% attack will never take the network down/offline. The goal of a 51% attack is to take over the power to write blocks. A 51% attacker still needs to follow the consensus rules enforced by the nodes. At best, what a 51% attacker could do is censor transactions. Even that censorship could only be fully enforced if the attacker controls 100% of the hashing power. It needs to be 100% because as long as someone else is able to mine their own block, they have a chance to be able to guess that valid hash that continues the chain. It doesn't have to spend tremendous amounts of energy. Just needs to be lucky. Extremely lucky. As proof, you can still see independent miners (miners not connected to a pool) lucking out a block. If the goal is to rewrite a portion of the blockchain (to revert/cancel/double spend a transaction), and keep it that way, the attacker will have to be able to sustain control of that 100% of the global hashing power then redirect it to start hashing away at that block they want altered. For reference on how much time is needed rewriting the whole BTC blockchain controlling 100% of the current global hashrate, please see https://fork.lol/security/chain. Less time for more recent blocks, of course. Even in the event that absolutely everyone stops mining, but keeps their node running, the bitcoin network is still considered online. People can still reference the blockchain to see the current utxo set and verify how much BTC they hold. People can actually still transact/send transactions due to how the mempool works. The only real issue in this event is double spending, which is what the mining/PoW addresses. The network is still online, though. TLDR; mining and just running a node secures the network in different ways. Mining prevents double spends/altering the data already written to the chain. The nodes make sure the network blockchain copy holders is there for the miners to mine blocks for.

US stocks are a much better inflation hedge than gold. They have ads on Boomer TV talking up how if you bought gold in the early 70s VS staying in cash, how far ahead you would be. But they leave out the fact that stock market returns trounced gold during that time. The one trait gold has that trumps stocks is that its value is not, generally, tied to a functioning society or functioning government. Obviously, Bitcoin is superior in this regard. Probably the only real danger to Bitcoin is lack of electricity, although the algorithms would probably adjust and it would be fine.

Correct, decentralization of the network is what was meant. In a 15-20 years future -or whenever wallets may be mainstream and folk use it as main safekeeping of their funds-, is it not a different exposure to risk to have the full control of your assets? In what way would one need to rethink security? Let's say you don't boast about it, but own a great house and have a good job. And Bitcoin wallets or whatever similar technology backed with a seed is used to keep your funds. Not too hard for someone to guess there's value to be found right there in that house? We're not in the disconnect "online and onchain" VS "real people and location" anymore. Is the above question clear enough? Bit confusing..

Dawg it took me so long to learn that Crypto just simply isn't for everyone. It's waaaayyy more satisfying to just to silently show the results VS try to explain to people why its important.

I believe there is a published study on lump sum VS dca large amounts in regards to traditional investments. IIRC, lump sum was the best way most of the time

Being honest here, this isn’t the sub to post this, ironically. This sub is more about hodling and/or fomo’ing in. Chart analysis and trading isn’t what’s popular for this coin on this sub, too many crypto normies to get past; as you can tell by the responses trying to gaslight you into thinking the results you’ve earned for yourself recently apparently aren’t real. Anyways, continuing my honesty here, trading is gambling to an EXTENT, but I don’t consider it pure gambling. The reasoning here is that it is true that you will never be able to 100% guarantee a specific price action all the time. But, with optimal analysis, you can maybe get up to like 60 to 70% of the time. This means you will ultimately fail at moments, but there’s many times when you won’t (when you know what you’re doing), which is what makes me say it’s up to an extent. What I’ll also say is that trading can 1000% be gambling if you WANT it to be. But anyway, Any seasoned trader in crypto will never deny that there’s a cyclical nature to bitcoin, and by extension, the crypto market overall. Certainly. There’s a difference between me chucking 1000 dollars at some random time and closing my eyes for the next few days/weeks and then selling whatever I have VS me taking into account previous bull runs price action, post halving bull runs price action, outside catalysts such as BTC etfs, the halving, official bank interest rates, emotional sentiment of the market in general, other BTC related news, and then DCA’ing that 1000 dollars in on top of all that. What I will agree with is that the perspective these other replies have concerning the person who taught you chart analysis for a price aren’t completely wrong about it sounding like a grift or something because I personally believe you can find out majority of those things for free online, especially just the bare basics for resistance and support lines. You were able to find the value and make use of it, while many others could be told those same things and still struggle. In other words, just having that knowledge by itself isn’t a guarantee to make money trading, it takes the necessary experience and skill to do so, So good for you on that. So anyway, ultimately, I’ve learned that Crypto isn’t for everyone and that most normies who don’t have it in them to make money for themselves aren’t gonna understand what you’re trying to say anyways, so there’s no real point to try to convince them it’s not purely gambling. They are much easier to convince when you have documented results for yourself. The most I’d say if you really wanted to try convincing someone is to open up a full chart of BTC and point to each halving year and then look about 500ish days after the halving that points to BTC being near or at it’s respective ATH for that post-halving year and ask them is this just mere coincidence that it’s gone up at similar times and ask them what they think will happen this year? And from that little prediction, explain to them that there’s a TON of other big and small catalysts that power your reasoning for trading just like this one. And then, point to some random spot on the chart and say “now what if I invested 1000 dollars here and never looked at the chart ever again and then sold no matter what I had in a month” and then ask them to compare which strategy is gambling: the one where you’re comparing previous cycles and current outside catalysts and slowly break your way in VS the one where you literally just randomly toss 1000 dollars and pray.

That's when this shit will go parabolic, when the least amount of people on planet earth can benefit from it, also bc it will go up VS. Worthless fiat. It's just a matter of waiting now for that perfect storm to happen. Might happen now or in 25 years

The sad part is that some of the coins were used on silk-road, and those coins were "auctioned off" by the US government, selling stolen property instead of returning it to the owners. They KNEW that some of the coins were part of the MtGox theft. If the people on the block-chain decided that the coins should be returned, or "held" until legal recovery, that would really mess things up. Every lost coin could actually have been recovered and the losses pushed to the people who accepted the "stolen coins" as payments for goods and services. (Minus the coins that were never spent, which could be blocked or setup to ONLY be spent into a regulated account by the agent handling the recovery.) We lost a great deal of potential here for "self regulation", with assistance. (At the highest level, where it is 100% confirmed that illegal activity, related to theft and losses. VS tampering with illegal sales, which is not something that the chain should be messing with. But, illegal transfers should be mitigated, as they did when people were using block-chain attacks to steal coins.) I'm waiting for the first coin to have a 2-step authorization to confirm every transaction. Even from third-party release. Something that would stop most exploitations of exchanges being hacked and stop foul exchanges from spending our deposited coins. They couldn't move them without the auth from us, and in the time period of a year, if not "refreshed", the coins would automatically return back to the origin or the initial transfer would be scrubbed, as if it never took place. Also, exchanges should have to prove that they actually have XXX coins and XXX currency "in hand", at any time. So we can tell that they are not just fake exchanges with fake prices, doing pay-forward transactions and fake volumes of trades. Being able to see an exchange being "drained", would have offered another level of protection for the exchanges themselves. Gox would have known after the first double-withdrawal, that it was being drained.

It really can be. But on this world must be only happiness and human-kind. In that case we don't need btc VS bastards. The bank guy is a gay. He will fk himself untill he get to 0$

Well I meant more like, the ads you hear on radio and TV. Usually targeted towards Boomers. Buy gold, buy annuities. There was one with Pat Sajak talking about if you'd bought gold in the early 70s VS holding cash. Well the real story there is that if you bought stocks or real estate in the early 70s, your gains would have well outpaced the tepid gains of gold. And I think gold has less of a future as a store of value now than it did then.

This is what you would call a nice indicator. But just that. It's always supply VS DEMAND. The demand has basically sat still outside of the etf pump. If we get a bull run though and demand increases significantly the lower supply will then come in to account. If the supply remains low. But you need both. For literally everything not just btc.
