WHY!?!??!?!??!

CalligrapherFalse511

Fuck it do it. Learn to live off bare minimum you will learn a lot and if anything become healthier and stronger. Quote by me “WE DONT KNOW WHY WE WANT WEALTH WE DONT KNOW, WE DONT KNOW WHEN TO USE IT BUT FOR PURCHASING POWER WILL FUCKING HAVE IT” i live off eggs milk meats seeds bananas thats it. Im so fkn strong and fit. Go get rich and realise how unhealthy you become. Getting rich is a side quest.

It's a pipedream like when Bernie Sanders says he will switch us to a single payer healthcare. It's a campaign promise that has no hopes of ever passing. Not to mention that just because there's a purchase of a $10000 toilet seat on the blockchain by the government, doesn't give any indication as to WHY they needed a toilet seat that is that expensive. Doesn't mean it's fraudulent spending. Sometimes the military or NASA or whoever literally needs som super specific type of product that can withstand ridiculous things that makes it much more expensive than the ordinary toilet seat. Is there waste in government? Sure at that level of spending I'm sure there is. Would this ever be implemented or ever even result it anything meaningful? Hell no. It's another empty promise by a politician. Don't be fooled. RFK is just trying to make it so that no candidate get enough electoral college votes to win so that it has to be decided by the House and then Trump wins. This is his end goal. A vote for RFK is a vote for Trump. Make no mistakes. You want Trump again then vote for him

You can't time it. Last bear market when it diped I didn't even thing on selling. If I sell for 40k and then it pumps to 45k I will buy back 1000% "what if it doesn't dip more?" Everything is soo obvious when you look it from the future. In the present moment it is not. So I just hodl. I am not a trader not even want to be. This is the reason why the guy who posted first the "hodl" and where the meme was born, here is a copy-paste from this post: " (1), Nestade (1), euhctcyn (1), chipi48 (1), Fitzy (1)  #1 I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time.  Still wrong.  w/e.  GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.  It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER.  Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro.  Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what?  I'm not part of that group.  When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~!  Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT.  NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD.  I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU.  You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob.  The people inbetween hold.  In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell. so i've had some whiskey actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky w/e sue me (but only if it's payable in BTC)" Thank you GameKyuubi.

What a terrible, mistake filled article... Why did I click,,, WHY??!?

Does he tell you WHY you need to? Makes no sense...

ElonaMusk212

"Makes no sense at all..." was about the situation not your post... In the last hour...I made three posts about the tripling of fees...the moderator took all three down. Right now in the daily discussion...people are asking the same question... NO one saw this coming or knows really WHY. I only found out about it because a well known person in the crypto space posted a 6 minute video tonight very concerned...said he will follow up tomorrow.

Tech press was shiiiiiiit on Bitcoin back in the day (still is mostly). Hardly better than the "Bitcoin is for DRUGS" narrative of the mainstream at the time. Of course the "Bitcoin is for Drugs" narrative was actually quite a good entry into some of Bitcoin's properties for anyone who thought past the sexy headline. WHY is Bitcoin for drugs? Because no one can stop the transaction. There is no door to kick in to shut it down. Bitcoin doesn't know your name or where you live. No one can print more and the whole ledger is auditable.

That halving isn’t priced in my guy. People are FOMOing because blackrock and fidelity are dumping billions raising the price. People psychologically see bitcoin at ATH and want to FOMO in. As I mentioned earlier, most of RETAIL and businesses are not even invested in bitcoin yet. Once they finally start to realize what’s happening, it will be too late. Businesses will want to dump money in and SUDDENLY wont be able to. KEY WORD suddenly. Hence, a SUPPLY SHOCK. Lmao you can’t make this up. RIGHT NOW there’s plenty of BITCOIN. Very soon there’s to be a sudden decrease in supply. WHY? Because there isn’t enough bitcoin for everyone.

Here are some recent podcasts to pass along. Start with the fundamentals... it will take a little time, but IMO a far better approach than to just trying to convince your wife of number-go-up. Here... in this order: **1. Bitcoin Policy Summit Opening Speech (Natalie Smolenski)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDa\_wP8q3s&ab\_channel=BitcoinMagazine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDa_wP8q3s&ab_channel=BitcoinMagazine) **2. Bitcoin Use Cases (Alex Gladstein)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI3Xcei8d\_I&ab\_channel=WhatBitcoinDid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI3Xcei8d_I&ab_channel=WhatBitcoinDid) **3. Bitcoin Use Cases (Andrew Hohns)** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUxaG4UxAw&ab\_channel=TFTC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUxaG4UxAw&ab_channel=TFTC) **4. Bitcoin 101 (Swan bitcoin)** [https://www.swanbitcoin.com/canon/bitcoin-101/](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/canon/bitcoin-101/) **5. Learn Bitcoin (River)** [https://river.com/learn/](https://river.com/learn/) Again, the point of these videos is that it's a start. Sure, there are 1000's of others, but these are super recent, relevant and should at a minimum peak some interest. These will help not only help explain what bitcoin is, but the use cases that it has and how it's changing people's lives right now and potential to drastically change the future, and WHY you should think about owning some now. Hope this helps, and good luck.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING Insert anchorman meme

The question is WHY do you have a large amount in ADA. If you have a large amount in it because you understand the tech, you see the obvious strengths of the protocol and community, and are confident that it will succeed and that you will be using your ADA on novel projects; that's completely rational and not degen at all If you have a large amount in it because you watched a YouTube video with green arrows and a dude making an oh-face, or some similar situation, then yes you are a degen. The second question is, if you are in the second camp, why are you in crypto at all? You might as well do stocks, bonds, roulette, horses, bet on coin tosses, it's all just price action where the likelihood is you will get rekt. Cardano is clearly superior to most protocols in crypto, but that doesnt mean that price will do anything particular, in any specific time frame.

>Just totally wrong, segwit is backwards compatible, look it up before repeating yourself. Yes I know, but you don't understand WHY they are backwards compatible and the implication to you "trustless old node" And you haven't answered the question if you think it is a good idea to hide parts of the consensus from older nodes. >Segwit transactions are just smaller in size so you can fit more in the same block size. Now the sacrifice made is that segwit outputs are missing the witness according to the old nodes, so to old nodes look like "anyone can spend" addresses. If everyone for some reason decided bitcoin is now not segwit, and non-segwit nodes got 51% of the mining power, the old nodes could just steal all the segwit coins. But if you really cared about this you can just use a non-segwit wallet. All the risk is on the segwit wallets because there is no way for a soft fork to put risk on older nodes, the old nodes look out for themselves and won't accept it, it would be a hard fork. An old node is not just going to accept doubling coins or increasing resource requirements beyond the protocol's rules that they follow. I give up. I neither have the time not the patience to work through all these misconceptions. In conclusion: Anything you can do with a hardfork you can do with a softfork, you just have to hide it from older nodes. Having older nodes sync to newer consensus rules is just one arbitrary feature like any other. Some care about it, some don't. It brought BTC a lot of technical dept.

And one more point, go read up on WHY hashing is needed on QLDB, lol. Its purpose is primarily for easy verification, and then security. The whole ledger is centrally managed, single point of failure. Either your definition of security is extremely skewed, or you are completely delusional.

Human-Contribution16

Jeez you sound exactly like my mother! WHY is this so butt hurt personal?! I dont want you or anyone to "care" about me - I'm just trying to stimulate an hopefully interesting (and perhaps even informative) dialogue in a public forum. Why the rancor? Have the adults left the discussion?

slurpymcderpydoo

I’m not sure what else I can say to you, you’re clearly not understanding the basic premise of this conversation. “Gambling” is a mildly more pejorative term for “speculation”. I have made it clear that I have always been talking about speculation. Now, you keep saying: “what you’re doing is wrong”. By what definition, exactly? I have already made you aware that I know speculation or “gambling” as you call it is not the most financially sound nor safe move. That does not mean it is inherently wrong (particularly if I see exponential upsides), and, more crucially: THAT IS WHY IT IS TAKING A CALCULATED RISK, AS I HAVE SAID A MILLION TIMES. What I do versus what a FTSE100 company might do with leveraged debt is entirely irrelevant. I would be taking DEBT and LEVERAGING it. Please see the definition of Financial Leverage for further information. In addition, you claim I would be “losing” borrowed money, but by doing so contradict your own assertion in your previous comment that you “believe in Bitcoin’s future”. How can you believe in its future while also believing I will lose the debt used to purchase it? Regardless, I’m almost certain that you’re just trolling as this point because this conversation is as circular as it could possibly be; you are not conceding that you understand what I’m saying whatsoever.

ovationed01

Don’t take it wrong but that question is not relevant to whether people get in or not WHY because when most of the currencies are devalued people won’t have a choice for example if you live in the US you have to use dollars (for now) if you go to others countries you will have to use their currency and that’s the advantage of having BTC WHY imagine having BTC in your wallet and using it in every country that means your BTC will have more power over any currencies in the world again that’s my opinion not financial advice 🙏👌

He is helping people out, you're just trying very hard to not understand on purpose. If you have spent the many, many, many hours it takes to understand what Bitcoin is and WHY - you know that we are still very early. Bitcoin is still the "next Bitcoin." Less than 5% of humans (and that is an extremely generous number) hold any amount of satoshis. How many humans alive out of 100 can accurately describe what SHA-256 hash alrgorithms are or what the BTC difficulty adjustment is without Googling? If you still are wondering "what the next Bitcoin is," you don't even know what Bitcoin is for now.

PhoenixCrypto

I hear you on this. I've always taken a passive approach to this with friends & family. I almost never promote it as an investment vehicle. I have always been the guy who would never shut up about it at parties, but I've always intentionally stuck to explaining WHY this invention is so important & groundbreaking. I'm not trying to be the car salesman style high pressure guy for bitcoin. That's just not my style. I've never even said the words "I think you should buy bitcoin" to any of them. Part of that is a holdover from the early days when it was a WAY riskier investment & I didn't wanna be on the hook for recommending they buy & then it fails. But the other part is cuz they are grown ass adults & if they stay on the sidelines after listening to me drone on about it for years and also seeing me do well with it, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. Some have bought in over the years & some haven't. Some didn't buy in until 20k+ when I've been promoting since sub $100. Some have been repeating the phrase "well I guess I missed the boat" every 4 years at the bull run despite me explaining in great detail why that wasn't true. You also gotta realize that we are all living in our own little worlds with chaotic lives & financial decisions can be stressful. We all have a theoretical limit to what we can prioritize in our lives to take on. For example, when I first started talking about bitcoin with my family, my sister's kids were still young. She had kids to raise & a family & demanding job to juggle. She always told me everything I said about bitcoin made perfect sense but the thought of taking the plunge was overwhelming to her. We'll, fast forward to after her kids were both grown & out of the house & she finally came to me & made her first purchase. At the end of the day you just gotta let it slide man. Don't get worked up over it. They're not ignoring btc because they're dumb, lazy or ignorant. You just found a passion that maybe they don't share & there's nothing wrong with that.

I 100% recommend Broken Money as well. Unlike the Bitcoin Standard, it does a good job of focusing on WHY money has been structured the way it has over time. It helps remove the "these evil greedy bastard" feelings and steers the reader more in the direction of "oh its all just bad incentives based on bad money based on good intentions abused by bad incentives". I also like a lot of Robert Breedloves content, specifically in regards to the macro structure of societies and their values in relation to money. Of course take everything with a grain of salt - its important to come to your own conclusions and view of the world and not just parrot others.

soma92oc

Inflation is not ambiguous. "Money supply inflation" isn't a thing. Some Monetarists and Austrians favor QTM (quantity of money theory) when modeling WHY inflation occurs. Meta analysis on this has not exactly been conclusive, and this remains an extremely touchy subject for many Economics departments. Keynesians tend to favor expectations and labor supply as explanations. This is the orthodox framework for inflation. Then you have modern monetary theory, which is a whole other can of worms, but essentially treats inflation as a result of government expenditure. But one thing everyone agrees on, is when a currency loses purchasing power, the users of said currency are experiencing inflation. Lastly, BTC is deflationary due to the decreasing block rewards. All else equal, goods move to the cost of production. Reducing the block reward increases the cost (holding difficultly fixed) of BTC production, and the price moves toward production costs, since the producers will be resistant to selling at a loss.

Yeah when I think about it, I don't regret it at all. Great drugs, great time with my friends, and I learned about/used bitcoin WAY earlier yhan I would have otherwise. Hell I may have ended up a nose-turning gold bug or something. I needed maturity to understand WHY bitcoin worked, but I am incredibly thankful to have used my immaturity to learn HOW it worked.

I am once again asking you to read the IMF paper published in 2011 titled THE LIQUIDATION OF GOVERNMENT DEBT. What ends up being liquidated is your labor and savings. https://www.imf.org/external/np/seminars/eng/2011/res2/pdf/crbs.pdf https://twitter.com/dylanleclair_/status/1770810814309503373?s=46&t=ihVglVXC0BQSbw6j57EoaA FFS BUT COME AT US THIS IS WHY WE BITCOIN

Your second paragraph is not strictly true. If your aim is to gain fiat in order to do something life changing, for instance, buying your own home, then the fiat aspect is unimportant. Homes are always homes. To some, having stability from an earlier stage is much more important than holding forever and being destitute other than a number on a screen going up, though i see the attraction. For me, I see btc as a savings account I can trust not to collapse, with much higher interest rates than traditional banks. If I can ever afford to buy a house for my mum or my dad, my btc goes bye bye and I start again. They might be dead in 20 or 30 years, and what good is a number then.. A house and land that you own is always going to be a house and land that you own. Stability is more important than future financial independence from banks if you don't already have it. I understand WHY btc is important for the world, for individuals, but it is also a better avenue than traditional banking towards what I need in life. Fuck the cherry red lambo, the big gold chains, if btc can help my family remove shackles of rent and landlords, that is its purpose to me..... for now.

Not through Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin doesn't know it has been bought or sold, let alone what goods, services or currencies are exchanged when bitcoin is transferred from one address to another. The Bitcoin blockchain is a record of WHEN and HOW MUCH was transferred, not WHO or WHY.

Nothing you suggested is new, revolutionary, or necessary. The way Bitcoin functions is intentional. Every change to the protocol has drawbacks. If you aren’t happy with Bitcoin’s speed you are more than welcome to create a L2 solution. Stop trying to change Bitcoin core features without understanding WHY the features exist.

Here's the thing. Inflation is awful. But once people realize WHY inflation is awful because the fucking government is dumb as fuck and just keeps printing more money devaluing our hard earned money. Then people will soon realize Bitcoin is the only way out. It won't happen overnight but it will eventually happen.

Antartica_To_GNZ11

Woohoo. I just wanna. say: I had 10,114 Moons (in another Metamask Arb Nova account), and I was hodling them to reach $1... But man we've been through some volatile shit these past year or two, eh? So i thought: # WHY NOT TREAT MYSELF ? So i withdrew about 2700 Moon and just bought myself a lovely spanking new Iphone 14 Pro Max...Completely free of charge - just for shitposting ! Crypto can be a nerve wracking and soul destroying business. So It's important to take some profit...treat yourself, give yourself a reward. If Moon went down to 0.01c tomorrow, i wouldn't bat an eyelid, i've got something free out of it, and I've really enjoyed the funny engaging shitposting comments and replies (yes, even the one you're going to respond for this post). So i have about 7300 Moons left. Still not the end of the world. The best thing about it - i can build it al up again .. and this time actually SAVE and HODL my Moon ! Here's to shitposting - here's to Moon ! ​ 

interwebzdotnet

> WHY should the US have a say in that? 100% agree, other than implementing whatever reasonable tax implications they wish, but that is something every country has a say in and it doesn't impact the functioning of Bitcoin itself. Nothing personal, but the rest of your statement is just obviously BTC maxi, and while I agree with it to some extent, the whole idea that if its not bitcoin its shit is a stretch in my opinion.

deckartcain

I actually feel that there should be no regulation. I don't trust regulators in any way, and I don't think most people do. For some reason them taking 20% of every transaction we do is no reason, despite having absolute contempt for them and the current system. Bitcoin is a great example. It has no central leadership, isn't registrered anywhere, has no operations headquarters, and the consensus is made by people from literally dozens of countries. WHY should the US have a say in that?

Umpire_State_Bldg

If your mind is capable: Zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Consider WHY things like ETFs, Mutual Funds, IRAs, 401Ks, etc. exist. In other words, "Why don't people just save for retirement by storing boxes full of $100 bills in their homes?" There are many reasons, including: * **Inflation** * Risk of theft * Risk of fire, flood, etc. Before Bitcoin came along, it made sense for the typical family to park their retirement savings where they could be sheltered from inflation and risks. Bitcoin changed all that. The smart people have been figuring it out already, while the not-so-smart have been busy trying shoehorn Bitcoin into the legacy fiat currency based system. With Bitcoin, the typical family can and **should** store their own retirement savings, using a good hardware wallet with the seed phrase properly backed up. Note, while we're zoomed out and looking at a bigger picture, that the money the legacy Wall Street institutions would be using to buy Bitcoin comes largely from the typical families who are trying to safely save for retirement where inflation won't eat them alive. Those *individuals* owe it to themselves to buy **actual Bitcoin** and to stop trusting and/or relying upon Wall Street middlemen who are going the way of the buggy whip soon.

Umpire_State_Bldg

What you don't seem to understand: WHY the typical family is invested in stocks and/or real estate. Let's back up another step and kind of rephrase that to: "Why don't people just keep boxes full of $100 bills in their homes as retirement savings?" Reasons include: * theft * fire * **inflation** The fact that bank savings accounts pay less than the rate of inflation is also part of why people have often turned to stocks, real estate, and sometimes precious metals. But wait - now there is Bitcoin. Now, with Bitcoin you can safely and securely hold your own retirement savings and be protected from inflation at the same time. Typical families should no longer be investing in stocks, real estate, or precious metals for retirement. They should buy Bitcoin and use a good hardware wallet with the seed phrase properly backed up. Telling people to "diversify" as you claim to do is like telling a Ford Model T owner to hitch his old horse to the front of his car... Yes, specialists and gamblers are still going to buy stocks. Idiots will continue to speculate with real estate. But the typical family can now simply hold their own retirement savings in Bitcoin: * secure from theft * secure from fire, flood, etc. * secure from inflation * secure from government confiscation * easily transported across international boundaries * nobody can stop them from spending it when they want to Bedsides, there's a housing bubble right now - it will pop. You've been telling people to overpay into a bubble which is starting to pop. Just buy and hold Bitcoin. Make sure your seed phrase is properly backed up.

WHY would any person with a sound mind willingly exchange Bitcoin for flimsy fiat currency?

Look, let’s be realistic. Bitcoin DOES use a lot of electricity. Now, you and I know a little more than that, and most importantly, WHY even if that’s the case it’s worth it. For 95% of the population who think Bitcoin is a scam or useless or whatever, this electricity is indeed a waste. We need to educate people on Bitcoin first, then talk about it’s electricity usage

I love Sonic, the music was great. ​ WHY DIDNT THEY USE THE MUSIC IN THE MOVIE?

> WHY should they know? I assumed you told them, otherwise why mention what the tax rate is?

because matthew krater from bitcoin university says trezor isn't as safe. In terms of "why", watch his videos, he will do all the explaining. And it's not some shilling either. He will explain the WHY to all your questions, which is what I think is important. He actually said not to use Trezor way before ledger started extracting seeds.

Taxes are already taken out before we get our weekly checks! Anyone questions WHY do we keep paying more taxes? Especially crypto?

Here is why banks should only be used for transactions when necessary. They have no right to do that with your money, but once in the bank it is no longer yours. You are at least entitled to the legal right to be told WHY? In two words: THEY ARE CRIMINALS!

How many people here have car loans in excess of $30-40k with a 5-6% interest rate? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST BUY YOUR DEPRECIATING ASSET WITH CASH??????

Their discord is a laugh. I mentioned something in passing about how stablecoins are useful and some idiot jumped on me demanding I explain what's good about them and wouldn't leave me alone lmao. I'm 100% only in it for the money, and don't care about crypto either way. I tried to explain this, but he was having none of it, and demanded I explain in great detail about why stablecoins are good. WHY WOULD SOMEONE IN CRYPTO FOR THE MONEY EVEN LOOK INTO STABLECOINS? THEIR PRICES DON'T MOVE, THERE'S NO PROFIT IN THEM! I JUST KNOW THEY'RE BACKED BY A FIAT CURRENCY AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THEM! He knows best about these things though, he's doing a DOUBLE degree in economics and something else. Imagine that, not even a qualified economist and thinks he is an expert! Hopefully he' still in his first year and hasn't grown out of his "I'M DOING A DEGREE I'M THE SMARTEST" phase. He has a bright future writing for The Guardian, I'm sure. Needless to say, I got banned. Apparently disagreeing with them makes your personality "abrasive".
