I dont understand WHY it NEEDS to be a currency..its doing its job fine..keeping my earned value away from government control.. if I need to spend..ill hop from btc to USD or any currency and spend..lightning is clunky..I even run a LND node..but bitcoin is GREAT as a SOV. And it should be left as auch
>Same dynamics with bitcoin, except that once bitcoin hits 21m in existence, try as they might, there’ll be no more to be mined. Correct... That's why it is finite... The fact we know exactly how much there is, is exactly why we know it will top out very quickly once fully adopted. Since the supply is a known constant. Since the demand reaches 100% (all humans that can own bitcoin, own it). The real returns stop increasing and the price appreciation stops. I don't understand the point of your comment. Are you just trying to argue Bitcoin is better than gold as a form of monetary system? I don't have any disagreements with that. I never made a claim BTC=bad. I just think a lot of BTC people misunderstand what they are buying. People need to know, if full adoption happens, then it will not produce real returns. My disagreement lies with this belief BTC can produce real returns infinitely. Which is contrary to what a monetary system, or store of value, does. Neither of those things produce real returns infinitely. >Both have value mainly because people believe they have value. Yes. That is how value works. The question is WHY do they value it. They value it as either a monetary system, or a store of value. Neither of which produce real returns. Once a monetary system is adopted, that's just what it is. A store of value, is a store of value. It doesn't produce real returns. It retains value and markets are efficient, therefor price appreciation will stop.
And, NO TAXES until you sell.. Which is WHY you NEVER sell… Yikes
Cryptobro always say that everyone has to buy BC in the future. But, they never say WHY anyone has to buy BC. Why do our allies and enemies have to by BC at 10x, 100x, 1000x the price? is BC necessary to run a country? Are their economy gonna implode if they don't buy BC? Is the buses gonna stop working and the food stop growing if they don't buy BC. And why can't they just create their own crypto tokens. Who do people have to buy BC? It's crazy talk from a greedy madman. BC network consumed enough electricity to power a city, and offers the world ZERO functional benefit. Its only purpose to this day is for Speculations, Crimes, and Money Laundering.
Reposting my comment from three months ago ... Step 1: Government supports self-custody. Freedom money is good for everyone! Step 2: Government recommends registering self-custodied wallets' public keys in a central registry ... you know, to aid in tracking criminals who steal self-custodied funds and such. Step 3: Government REQUIRES registering self-custodied wallets' public keys in a central registry because if one of us is at risk, we're all at risk ... or something like that. Step 4: Government requires individuals to apply for a license to self custody FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE SYSTEM. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? Step 5: No, of course you can't have a license. Do you think you're a bank? We have banks. Don't be silly.
Yeah, and if you and Michael Saylor and three other bros controlled all 21MM Bitcoin and nobody else would accept it, then it would be without value. It would be unable to exchange for goods and services. A dollar, a Bitcoin, a money has no intrinsic value of its own. Its value is derived from what REAL goods and services it can procure. If you can't buy a loaf of bread with it you'll still starve. We NEED the people with all the buildings and equipment and farms to value Bitcoin, otherwise it's without value. If you don't understand the fundamentals of economics then you're just a lucky idiot who doesn't know WHY he's on the right track. Bitcoin didn't change how economics works, it just stepped in to un-rig the fiat trap that has been laid by central banks for the last several centuries. If those top 5 five firms that own all the REAL wealth don't value Bitcoin, then Bitcoin has no value. Maybe Honey badger *should* care.
Take a chill pill first, second meant that the money you get will be at the end deducted from so the gov. Will end having back and disturbing the decentralized ecosystem at the end. So it's not fully decentralized it s not, WHY SO SRS ANYWAY?

Separate the WHY of deflation though. Just because deflation has been tied to economic downturns doesn't mean deflationary money is bad. It just means that the current debt-based system strain when we go through inflation bubbles to deflationary crashes. It's a sign of unhealthy system, where people can't plan in a healthy way for the future.

WHY IS SWFT blockchain $SWFTC @swftc AKA CHINESE XRP ?
I don’t even look. Seriously. I started with shit coins in 2017, that’s a roller coaster of emotions. This? What am I afraid of exactly? Maybe you could argue otherwise but I would remind you the premise of WHY BTC was created in the first place. Was not Satoshi Nakamoto infuriated with the financial system and all of its glorious imperfections? Look at the current state of the financial system. What does it look like to you? I have an orange man that Willy nilly has taxed the fuck out of a gajillion countries via tariffs. Blatantly has ignored the rule of law. Is now on top of that threatening to fire officials he has no authority to fire that have great responsibility over our current financial system (the Fed). The money printer was already fucked to begin with, ever since we depegged from gold and your fathers and mothers experienced 140% inflation over a decade. Where the fuck is it headed now? Like I’ve got more in my 401k then I do in BTC and I’m waaaaay more worried about the S & P 500 pegged to the printer then my BTC pegged to a deflationary supply. A deflationary supply that enables countries to enable transactions between one another regardless of whatever “financial embargo’s” via SWIFT. I have waaaay more confidence in BTC in a FIVE year outlook compared to whatever shit show this current administration is doing. I’m chilling bro, no sweat, diamond fucking hands. Even if it shits, this will be my 3rd “crypto winter” 🥶, I’ll stay warm tho stacking them sats when there’s actual blood in the streets 👏👏👏
I mean every time I open this sub it’s “ WHY?” And a picture of btc price. I came here for info but it’s just been mostly jokes and gamblers

New accounts posting on 100k stacks of btc with the caption "WHY DID IT MOVE A FEW PERCENT??" lately... seems suspicious, but whats the goal?
That I literally have no idea why they go up when they go up and down when they go down. I know it’s buying and selling obvs, but WHY are they being bought and sold?
It’s not real. It doesn’t matter WHY it is not real there are any number of tricks. It could be a fake coin with same ticker as real coin and fake value (no liquidity) it could be a fake app IT DOESNT MATTER THIS IS JUST PART OF THE SCAM. It’s like a skit where you go try to save someone and then you fall for it too. Who is coming to save you? Hopefully someone smarter or your whole family is going down.
DCA, HODL, and understand the WHY behind Bitcoin.
yeah thx as i asked WHY
BTC change WHYYYY? It go up. It go down. WHY!?!
Question is - what did you have before last year, and when did you sell/buy, and WHY? I too know after the fact that BTC outperformed ETH, and now ETH outperform BTC, but i don't know what's it's gonna in 1 week or 2 months, and neither do you. Once the trend is revealed that ETH is outperforming BTC, it's too late to buy ETH, so i don't see how your statements connect. Unless you knew beforehand - which is just delusions and not the first time someones been right, or wrong.
WHY GO UP WHY GO DOWN!!! Financial literacy is severely lacking
Why do you feel this way feel so strongly about this coin HBAR I DO LIKE IT TO BUT WHY DO YOU LILE IT SO MUCH PLEASE EXPLAIN
This reminded me of a post like 5-6days ago "WHY IS EVERYONE BUYING NOW WTF IT'S A TOP" hahahaha yeah.. turns out this is why we were buying
You're cooler this way man trust me, and im here to tell you you are cool the way you ware with or without brand new car. Because ngl, me too, i can just buy the new one but WHY! WHY THE FLIP should i? i have a n old good running car, and barely use it, so WHY? but i get it its hard, specially living in a place where FLEXING is the culture, but we got this man! stay humble, stack sats! enjoy the fruits later on retirement, we will be seeing how these flexer life soon!
Yeah my car is old but paid for. I can technically get into a brand new car but I figure *WHY*? I work with people who live really expensive lifestyles and honestly I don’t know how they keep up with all that. As for me I just try to stack sats and not tell anyone. I tried to tell this guy at work about bitcoin but he scoffed at it. Oh well.
Bro, bonk guy is extremely legit ... *extreeeeemely legit*. I call him Uni, sometimes because i noticed many of his friends on CT did. He explained that his username came from Uniswap and Pancakeswap. "The Uniswap and Pancakeswap guy" isn't near as cool as BONK GUY. Hence, his infamous trade you now know about. I mean dude called it too. And CT faded him. I have been following Uni on the solana blockchain and on CT (aka crypto twitter). Twitter attacked his ass, everyone faded and kept fading, and fading. And $bonk went on a absolute fucking tear! "Bonk Guy was right" - they all said. Holy shit man go and check for yourself. That's what makes crypto so damn much fun. And i know you know crypto, I'm speaking in generalities in case any normies are in here. They NEED to hear this too. Unfortunately (and fortunately) my situation with crypto didn't really start until Q3 of 2024. What bonk guy did drew me in. And i was a bit skeptical at first, but all the data is there. All provable, on chain!!! Dude's a legend! AND THIS IS WHY I AM HERE TYPING THIS RESPONSE. *I BELIEVE IN BONK GUY!* MANY ALREADY DO! Look up any big "crypto KOL" on twitter and see if they have comments about Bonk Guy. The fud spreaders are usually just paid attacks, sincerely. It's crypto for crying out loud - anything goes really in the wild west. Anyway, check out, hell *ASK*, people like Ansem ([@blknoiz06](https://x.com/blknoiz06)). He is a clear Bonk Guy supporter on the CT timeline. I mean, it's fucking Ansem! Dude is a legend. Both bonk guy and Ansem have proven themeselves and their trades on chain and have mad respect for each other. In crypto these dudes are a big mf-ing deal. Anyway. #USELESS coin is my ticket out of here. It should be yours too. It should be everyones. But that's the beauty of Useless coin. There's no bullshit. Like EVERYTHING OTHER THAN BTC. i mean come on. BTC is gold. The rest are companies. Companis come and go. Let's ride teh golden memecoin. THE #USELESS COIN. And dude, i write. Im a shitty ass trader. Hence why i follow Uni / Bonk Guy. Dude is so damn legit and his TA is spot on. But again, im a writer. Not a trader. Get it yet? HIGHER!!!
Don’t even get me started haha. Between that and the “DAE WHY BTC CRASHED TODAY!?” and it’s literally a 2-3% change. Or people saying that right now is a great time to “buy the dip”. It’s pretty wild
Likely plummets Also depends WHY the recession is happening. If the dollar is tanking, there could be flight from dollars to stores of value. Unlikely that’s the scenario, but it’s a hedge in case of worst case scenario. Bullets, water and canned food another good hedge in that scenario tho
You might be right. These big institutions might be SO invested at this point that they will never let the price crash that low…. But until I see PROOF that the 4-year cycle is broken, I don’t believe it 🤷♂️. People were saying the same thing last cycle.. “this time is different.” But it wasn’t different. Read up on “The Bitcoin Halving Event.” You need to understand WHY crypto is on a 4-year cycle. The Halving is what triggers the (eventual) Bull Run… and if you look at BTC’s All-Time Chart, there is a pretty clear pattern— BTC hits a new ATH every 4 years or so, then it eventually DUMPS. I can’t tell you EXACTLY when that’s going to happen (nobody can), but a good estimate would be that everything is going to probably dump (to some extent) later this year or early next year. The Halving event took place in April of 2024… so it’s been roughly 15 months since then. I believe that BTC (historically) hits its PEAK of the cycle like 12-18 months post-Halving. Do with that information what you will. “Bitcoin Dominance” is also something worth tracking during the Bull Market. I won’t go in-depth on it, but do some research. It (in theory) can help you navigate the Bull Run and tell you where we are at in the cycle. Regardless…. If you believe in BTC long-term, then it doesn’t really matter if it crashes hard after this cycle— just keep stacking through the next Bear Market and keep stacking until you figure out when you want to sell a portion to secure some profits. Sorry for the long post… I’m just yapping based on my experience with it man. Be careful. I wish you the best! ✌🏻
Why the hell do people misspell that word so much? They don't say noose instead of nose or hoose instead of hose or poose instead of pose or roose instead of rose SO WHY ONLY THAT ONE SPECIFIC ONE?!?!
WHY IS MY CORRECTION SO SMALL? Make it bigger
📉 AUGUST = HISTORICALLY WEAK FOR BTC • Often a calm or bearish month 🔸 WHY? → Low volume (vacation season) → Profit-taking before September → Global macro uncertainty (Q3 earnings, inflation news, etc.)

I honestly don't understand how you can read that and understand it and then ask me "why is finality so important?" It's clearly important to some people for some types of transactions. "Willingness to pay" is not evidence of "usefulness" in a world where Labubus go for thousands of dollars. >The reason Zelle limits are low are because the "instant" transaction you see on your UX is not actually happening in real time.

>You are very confused and wrong. I'm the very complete opposite. You need to step out of this sub and touch grass. >A physical cash transaction is a P2P transaction that ends in finality. >A bitcoin transaction is a P2P transaction that ends in finality. Those are literally the only qualities Bitcoin shares with cash, and you've convinced yourself that those are the most important qualities when it comes to determining Bitcoin's equivalency to other transaction types. Sorry, but no. Bitcoin's other qualities make it far more comparable to credit and debit networks. The need for connectivity, the traceable record of the transaction, the ability to transfer value long distance, the need for a transaction fee paid to a third party, the ability to integrate with computer applications, the ability to account for sub-cent values (technically possible), etc. I am not denying that Bitcoin is a **brand new innovation** that is different from everything else that came before. It has cash-like qualities, it has debit card-like qualities, and it has qualities that have never been seen before. But what I AM denying is that it is a replacement for cash, because it simply isn't used that way. It was intended to be, but Satoshi was a WAY better computer scientist than he was an economist or monetary theorist. A Bitcoin transaction, from a practical end user's perspective, has more in common with a credit or debit card transaction. And Bitcoin itself is more of an investment asset than a currency. >There is literally no other P2P fiat transaction. Not credit cards, checks, wires, apps, etc. Those all require 3rd parties to facilitate the transaction for you. Bitcoin also requires third parties to facilitate the transaction (the miners), so it's not even true peer-to-peer. Never mind the fact that P2P is not important at all when comparing transaction methods. >This is actually a great example of why it's so hard you to understand these concepts. You don't know how our current financial system works including these financial products in which you are the customer. >The Zelle UX tricks you into thinking the transaction is instant, when in reality it takes days to settle on the backend. That's why Zelle has such low daily/monthly limits. No, I know how it works. You're just trying to convince me that it's important. That's what you don't seem to understand. You're utterly blinded by the tech wizardry that you are ignoring the actual practical impacts. It doesn't matter that the banks on the back end have to move *their* numbers around for another day or so, and it doesn't matter that it's not technically peer-to-peer (especially since Bitcoin isn't P2P, either). If a friend of mine in New York sends me $100 via Zelle that I can use to pay for a flat tire fix, then it's fast enough for me. If a normal bank will let me use "pending" funds as if they were normal funds, then as far as I'm concerned, the transaction is completed. And, as I've already mentioned, you keep omitting the time it takes to exchange Bitcoin for real money in your statements about finality. A Bitcoin transaction's "finality" is isolated to the Bitcoin Network, but it is not actually finalized (realized) until it's exchanged for real money. >This is false. Bitcoin can be used and accepted as a currency. Not without exchanging it for real money. I'm pretty sure that none of the few **legitimate** merchants that accept Bitcoin actually hold it. They convert it as instantly to real money as soon as they get it. That doesn't make Bitcoin a currency. If you want to claim that Bitcoin is a currency with a very limited scope in terms of what can be purchased directly with it, I'm not going to object to that. But just understand that there are plenty of examples of "currencies" that share that quality that most people would not regard as real currencies, either. >This is false. I've been very clear and rational. If you don't think so, quote me and point out what is not clear. No, you THINK you're being rational because you're repeating the same jargon you've learned on this sub, but jargon isn't rationality. And you make Why is P2P important? And I don't mean from a pseudophilosophical/political activist standpoint. I mean in real terms, for practical uses, why is it important for digital payments to have a P2P option instead of going through a normal processing network? Why is ~1 hour finality important? You've simply accepted these as unambiguously important qualities, but a normal person would just look at those statements and ask "Why?" >Bitcoin doesn't need to be exchanged for the value to be realized. It absolutely does. >If someone sent you 1 bitcoin right now would you not feel that you have anything of value until you exchange it for fiat? That is what you are claiming. No, what I'm claiming is that I would not know what value I held until I sold it, because who the fuck knows when the next crash or spike will happen? That is what it means for value to be "un**real**ized." "Realized" value means there's no speculation (in all senses of that word) about the value of the asset you are holding. If you sent me 25,000 sats right now, I'd have no idea what that can actually buy or how much change I'd get in return. That's not "real" value. "Realized" value is knowing, without ambiguity, that 25 dollar bills will cover the cost for a Netflix premium subscription. The fact that you don't understand this further proves that you are the one who doesn't understand financial systems. >I don't care what "cryptobros" want. You would need to first show me WHY I should care about what "cryptobros" want. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You're the one who came prancing into this thread clucking about "Hurr durr wanting Bitcoin to be a reserve asset doesn't mean they want a Bitcoin standard." If anything, you're the one who needs to convince me. >It's meaningless to me. I don't care what's meaningless to you. I care about what matters to real people.
> Bitcoin is entirely dissimilar cash in so many other ways that it cannot be treated as equivalent to cash when there are other equivalents that it much more closely resembles. You are very confused and wrong. A physical cash transaction is a P2P transaction that ends in finality. There is literally no other P2P fiat transaction. Not credit cards, checks, wires, apps, etc. Those all require 3rd parties to facilitate the transaction for you. A bitcoin transaction is a P2P transaction that ends in finality. > Zelle is faster. This is actually a great example of why it's so hard you to understand these concepts. You don't know how our current financial system works including these financial products in which you are the customer. The Zelle UX tricks you into thinking the transaction is instant, when in reality it takes days to settle on the backend. That's why Zelle has such low daily/monthly limits. > So? You are ignoring literally every other characteristic that Bitcoin shares with digital transactions and holding up "decentralization" and "finality" on pedestals as THE distinguishing characteristics that make it equivalent to cash. That's called cherrypicking. I'm not ignoring anything. I'm specifically pointing out the most important differences. That's not cherry picking. And you are absolutely right I'm harping on decentralized and finality as those are some of the KEY components of what makes a bitcoin transaction different. > You can't send money outside of banking hours with Bitcoin because you still need to exchange Bitcoin for money, which requires banks. This is false. Bitcoin can be used and accepted as a currency. > You, on the other hand, ARE an anonymous online poster saying crazy stupid shit who hasn't really provided any valid rationale for his points. This is false. I've been very clear and rational. If you don't think so, quote me and point out what is not clear. > You ignore Bitcoin's OTHER characteristics and cherrypick only the ones you think relevant in order to argue Bitcoin is like cash What characteristic am I ignoring? > You ignore the necessity of exchanging Bitcoin for money for the value to be realized and utilized by the recipient Bitcoin doesn't need to be exchanged for the value to be realized. If someone sent you 1 bitcoin right now would you not feel that you have anything of value until you exchange it for fiat? That is what you are claiming. And that is so ridiculous it's hard to even take seriously. > You quibble about whether cryptobros want a Bitcoin standard or not knowing full well that they do I don't care what "cryptobros" want. You would need to first show me WHY I should care about what "cryptobros" want. I couldn't care less what "cryptobros" want. Just like I don't care what some random person on the sidewalk next to me wants. It's meaningless to me.
Fck em🖕These entities deserve the least corn. Hope they dump it and take the L just like Germany. Govs aren’t our friends. Never were. Dont forget WHY Bitcoin was created in the first place.
That’s WHY WE HODL 🚀🚀🚀
Before Bitcoin, real estate and stocks were the only ways to try to preserve your wealth. Now we have Bitcoin which changes the entire game. You no longer have to play the rigged system of asset inflation just to keep your head above water. But most people still chase real estate or stocks not for preservation but for status. They don’t actually UNDERSTAND what it means to own & manage property, repairs, tenants, maintenance, debt. Same w/ stocks many just flex ownership without grasping the fundamentals or risks. They glamorize these assets without questioning WHY we even had to rely on them in the first place!! Bitcoin was created to fix this broken system & honestly you can’t complain about the elite controlling the money supply, regulation , keeping the middle & lower class in check while actively playing the same game they rigged. You’re essentially part of real pyramid scheme.
Even bitcoin has something called "smart contracts", but yeah, in the traditional sense of what we are used to with ethereum, most coins have this capability (as most of them are ethereum clones). I don't think bitcoin contracts are "programmable" enough to do this kind of thing. I'm not familiar enough with cardano to tell either. Trusting a DEX or not is up to you, the safest thing would be to have a separate wallet specifically for interacting with them. Send to dexwallet, exchange, send back to normal wallet. There's also ways to see authorizations and contracts approved on an account (but it might be too late, or simply unreadable for the layman). DEXs have a semi-valid reason to do this, it's not like they are all thieves, they do it so they don't need to keep asking for authorization to move funds, and in case of slippage I understand, but I'm not 100% into the details of WHY this is needed or why there isn't a better way around it.
In addition, the amount of knowledge you gain about how thr world works, how banks operate, the issue with the Fed, the WHY of it all is very good to know. Never learned this in school and I know my parents didn't know anything about finance growing up.
WHY the hell is that with you?!?! First rule of fight club bro. FIRST rule.
I have always wondered why Satoshi chose these two numbers. I mean, it is what it is, but WHY?
So in 2021 around.. April I had made or held roughly $100k in a coin called Polkacity. I squandered the gains around round tripped. PolkaCity provided weekly rewards so I definitely took some profit, it certainly saved me a couple times. But between 2021-2023 I had made a squandered 100k twice. I think back those times a lot and regularly have that interstellar scene play in my head.. WHY DIDN’T I SELL AND BUY BITCOIN!! I left crypto end of 2023. Thankfully I had a very high earning year, in 2024. 8x my usual salary with an insane year in sales. and was fortunate enough to secure some BTC. But man… I was that loser, sharing screenshots not taking profit, dreaming of retiring.
The largest Sui‑native DeFi protocol with its own token by Total Value Locked (TVL) is: • Suilend (SEND) – a decentralized lending/borrowing platform on Sui, currently topping the charts with approximately $722 million in TVL . Its native token is SEND, and it supports features like SpringSui liquid staking and is building an AMM called STEAMM . Right behind it is: • NAVI Protocol (NAVX) – a multi‑product ecosystem (lending, staking, DEX) with about $662 million in TVL . It’s gaining traction as its token NAVX has recently been listed on Binance Alpha and OKX SO MY QUESTION IS WHY BLUEFIN????
Real answer? I just read Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. It was fantastic! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin\_Billionaires](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_Billionaires) Not only did it talk about the path the Winklevoss brothers took as they became early investors in Bitcoin, but it very clearly laid out the reason for BTC, the math behind it and so much more. I wish more people talked about the WHY for Bitcoin and that I had gotten to the space I am now ... earlier. That book came out in 2020 and I was still a skeptic. But it's a fantastic read, and I was like, dang. It even spelled out how gold's characteristics made it the medal of choice to be a store of value. It was so solid. There's lots to discuss!
I have had the opportunity to talk to some highly educated finance people from prestigious universities. I asked them a different question altogether. I asked them, “How much do you think a bitcoin should cost today?” My goal is to avoid “bitcoin is the future” vs. “bitcoin is stupid” and actually make them focus on apply their traditional financial knowledge to a new asset class. Honestly, I don’t care if they think it’s worth $5,000 or $5,000,00, I just wanna see a professional apply a methodology to it. An MIT graduate was excited about the question and explained how she could model stock prices based on a host of possibilities. I asked her to implement these practices into BTC, and she said she didn’t know. I asked a University of Texas graduate, and she said Bitcoin is stupid, and she wished she had bought some. Even people here sorta go on vibes. It is often said that BTC is 1/10th the value of gold. But again, what SHOULD it be and WHY? These are very difficult questions. The biggest problem is the asset class is so new, and it is really hard to find a universally agreed upon comparable asset. Right now, it is hard to Bitcoin’s true potential, but I hope in the future, we could start to see models become standardized.
The real reason for everyone here is because they need it to, and want it to, and are personally invested in it. I know this subreddit has become very surface level over the years, but the top-rated comment here from the outside in would look like Bernie Madoff or an MLM mom promoting their grift, lol. “EVERYONE NEEDS IT, THAT’S WHY!” with hundreds of upvotes is fucking ridiculous and makes Bitcoin look like nothing more than a delusional cult.
Calm before the storm as they say. It’s btc season rn, been sitting above 100k for ages and ppl are bored because alts aren’t performing. It’s a necessary part and has happened every cycle. Just like how when everyone’s grandma talking abt crypto is a top indicator, no one thinking it’ll happen and selling/rotating to btc is a local bottom signal that has preceded an altcoin season EVERY time. Macro events also aligning for later in the year. Once they’re aligned, the market/media manipulation will be let go of by the big boys (who are still trying to get as much as they can) and the majority of possible gains for alts will be made. If you think the bullrun is over, or altcoin season won’t happen, you need to do more research into WHY they ever happened in the first place and have some foresight to see how everything aligns later. Ignorant to think making a 10x is an easy thing, otherwise everyone would be making it. If you want 10x value in gains, you need to withstand 10x the pain
Yeah, so please answer my 2nd question? WHY/HOW is it SO QUIET?! (I'll take 1 or 12 please! 😁)
Our current money system is broken and you need to understand WHY first. [How Money & Banking Work - Lyn Alden](https://youtu.be/jk_HWmmwiAs?si=xkfZxHWtKByZe3V9)
bro like why yall selling i don't get it, if you down so bad WHY WOULD YOU SELL BRUH DONT FOMO
Your friend needs to understand the WHY first. [How Money & Banking Work - Lyn Alden](https://youtu.be/jk_HWmmwiAs?si=xkfZxHWtKByZe3V9)
Someone please explain to me **WHY** I should want my state to do this, please? What is the governmental purpose of this reserve? Under what circumstances would the Texas state government need to tap into this reserve? I just don't get it.
Bull run is literally visible on the chart. There's no guesswork or fancy theories required, you can literally see when it shifted from sideways trading to upward trajectory. Knowing when it will end is in the future, so there IS guesswork and theory required for that. Going by previous cycles, this one will probably last another 4 or so months. It's important to understand WHY patterns happen, not just to notice them and assume they will repeat. One thing worth noting is that "crypto history" is only 15 years, and this is only the 4th cycle. "the first time in crypto history" is just the standard for everything that happens in crypto, as its history has only really just begun. This time, Bitcoin is moving up because it's being purchased by large corporations and governments. What makes you think they would have any interest in getting rugpulled on shitcoins? They're not speculating about x1000 gains, they are looking for a safehaven asset against a falling dollar and overbought stock market. There may well not be an altseason at all this time, and perhaps never again in the way that it was the past two cycles. Note also that there was no altseason in the first cycle, so really you're talking about 2/3 in the past.
What technology? What exactly can blockchain do technology wise that doesn’t already exist? Being trustless isn’t technology, that’s choice. Most people prefer trust. Outside of that, what technology do you think people are ignoring? And WHY is that technology important as a token holder? In the 15+ years of its existence, what problem has crypto solved? Here’s an easy way to think about it. Technology that is actually useful and groundbreaking grows organically and rapidly on its own. You don’t need to convince people about it. Crypto is full of people trying to convince you something is amazing.
bitcoin core and bitcoin knots are the same except the op\_return default settings. bitcoin core decided, despite lack of consensus and controversy, to increase the op\_return default limit. this allows spammers to easily put spam on the blockchain with the support of venture capitalist mining (notice i said "easily", not impossible). More importantly, bitcoin core wants to take away your ability to configure this setting. Now lets say you dont care about the op return limit being increased. i disagree and think we should make it hard as possible for spam to get on the blockchain, but fine, run your node how you see fit. but tell me WHY though, would it be okay for them to take away your ability to configure this? and why is it okay for them to change the default setting despite clear lack of consensus? did you know some of the bitcoin core devs are invested in the companies who will benefit from ordinals (bitcoin images on the network)? did you know bitcoin core was 97% of all software (now more like 87% after their change)? that percentage alone should be incentive for more of us to switch actually, even if they were perfect devs - we dont want anyone having that much control. i agree with switching to other softwares if you have something against knots for whatever reason, just get away from core.
WHY are people even still bothering with fucking xrp?
Looking at China's CBDC plight, I still don't see WHY Americans would move to CBDC over traditional systems.
Even Paypal and the bank itself can freeze your account. THATS LITERALLY WHY SATOSHI MADE BITCOIN
In general, most here do NOT want deregulation or even think about it much. Instead they talk about decentralization as if it were an end goal. **In general, people also do NOT actually care about REAL decentralization.** The term "decentralization" has been OVERUSED so often in the crypto community by many who don't even understand **WHY** they want it. It's lost meaning. What people really want are several aspects pertaining to security: * **Safety**: no bad transactions, no dangerous reorgs * **Anti-censorship**: transactions always go through in a timely (i.e. predictable) matter * **Anti-confiscation**: no one can spend your assets without permission * **Anti-corruption**: The governance or code of the system cannot be taken over by bad actors There are several issues with simplifying this down to "decentralization": * It's possible to acquire those properties with very limited decentralization. * Decentralization by itself doesn't guarantee those properties. (Even with high decentralization, PoW blockchains can fail Safety and Anti-censorship due to selfish mining attacks and spam if the underlying protocol is vulnerable.) * The only part that truly requires decentralization is Anti-Corruption. The development needs to be decentralized (or immutable), and the only project that satisfies that property is Ethereum with its 10+ independent core dev client teams.
When Bitcoin Crashes: "Michael.... WHY DIDDDD YOU REDEEEEMMMMM EEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!!!!!!!! "
You CAN make a bundle on crypto....even now.....and also stocks (particularly if you understand the shorting opps). I'm not involved in that scene now (but rn would be a great time to short 😳). If you are willing to spend time learning & practicing.....there is literally no end to your possibilities (or anyones for that matter) the REAL issue is everyone seems to want their hand held.....they want to be spoon fed ideas that will work.....WHY? They don't trust themselves at all. They think everyone else is smarter, quicker, richer, more advantaged....fill in the blank here. None of that is true, of course......everyone has the same options (but only if they are willing to entertain it) 🏆
For half of them, the only word in their vocabulary is "dumping" lol, even while we're just "dumping" upwards for months. Even today, "WHY DUMPING??" Like, look at the stock market, overlay the charts, and there's your answer...
Go read “The Big Print” by Lawrence Lepard. It really would be a great idea to understand WHY Bitcoin matters. Just out in Dec ‘24. Also, I enjoyed the “The Bitcoin Standard” and “The Fiat Standard”. Do you research, have your “Holy crap we’re all fucked” moment, and then stack like crazy.
>Eth goes up +3.5% in only half an hour >Eth retraces -1.5% in the next few hours "WHY ARE WE DUMPING, THE WORLD'S OVER!" Some of you are insanely dramatic and need to stop staring at the 1-minute charts lol
Sure, if you just *regret* a purchase, they won't reverse it, but I think you have a misunderstanding of credit card protections. If you as a customer dispute a charge and say it was never authorized to begin with or that the seller either never sent the item or misrepresented it, they will absolutely reverse the transaction & refund the customer. That's what credit card protection is all about & Visa and MasterCard promote it heavily. It is important to note the distinction between a credit card purchase and a debit card purchase. Debit transactions don't have nearly the same protections that Credit Card transactions have. "Chargebacks" are very real and businesses have to factor them into their profit strategy. When a customer requests a chargeback from Visa/MasterCard the money gets clawed back from the seller & the seller can't do anything about it. Visa/MasterCard almost always sides with the customer. As consumers, people love that protection, but if you've ever ran a business you know how unfair the system can be. Customers lie all the time about either dissatisfaction or not receiving an item & as the seller you can't do shit about it. THIS IS WHY BITCOIN IS SO IMPORTANT. Bitcoin is the digital equivalent of cash. If a customer is unhappy they have to deal with the seller directly. Just like a cash purchase (that has existed forever), if a customer has a receipt & legitimate complaint, a reputable business will issue a refund.

“No shit” THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE
Step 1: Government endorses self-custody. Freedom money is good for everyone! Step 2: Government recommends registering self-custodied wallets' public keys in a central registry ... you know, *to aid in tracking criminals who steal self-custodied funds and such*. Step 3: Government REQUIRES registering self-custodied wallets' public keys in a central registry because if one of us is at risk, we're all at risk ... or something like that. Step 4: Government requires individuals to apply for a license to self custody FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE SYSTEM. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? Step 5: No, of course you can't have a license. Do you think you're a bank? We have banks. Don't be silly. ** Oh, shit. This is exactly what they'll do. DELETE THIS PLAN. **
WHY NOT BOTH?! Dont “choose a side”.
Spoken like someone who truely doesnt understand Bitcoin. Just what do you mean by “real investors”? And WHY would anyone want “real investors” to build up large positions? Satoshi is credited with a design that gives EVERYONE a chance to save with out having their savings stolen by debasement and / or inflation. Just go ‘ take your profits’ and wait for the dip, what ever it looks like to you and buy back in because You know best. This HODLER will out pace your earnings every time. Do yourself a favor and study BTC. Spend a thousand hours with btc experts. Bitcoin only people, not crypto people … mallers, pisch, alden, kratter, lepard, saylor, Booth, safeadean amoth. I know i spelled that wrong, and others . You’ll get there. Keep stacking.
Oh my god. WHY DIDNT ANYONE THINK OF THIS BEFORE?!?!
Good for you...but for goodness sake WHY DID YOU TELL??? Delete this account and all your traces. Now.
Lol, I just gave a long description of WHY I think it's different. Ignored all that? Had all that happened in previous cycles?
Who said anything about ignoring it completely? Do you know WHY the pattern played out the way it did in the past? If you're just looking at charts without looking at the stories behind them, you're going to be the bag holder.
I doubt it ia the ones making the videos although it seems like they could police it more? Be nice if YouTube etc gave people tools to police their comments? Where perhaps you could ban a phony guru's name or any mention of $XAI70A for example Also WHY does youtube allow the scam ads with capchas for idiots t scan with phone to supposedlg get "free crypto" when you depost your crypto with them? AI deepfakes of well knowns .... I am sure very few fall for it but it seemed legit first time I saw one! Happily I have no crypto to send like that and at my age was not about to GET SOME just to do that....warning bells in my head for one thing! "if something sounds too good to be true? RUN!"
My Dad saying sell $8k worth that you paid for a few coins back in the day. WHY would I do that. I have rode from buy in at $1k -$10k,$20k, $69k back to $17k up to $70k down, up to $107k. Not selling until I need it. I bought a $100 this morning at $111k. This is not for the weak hearted. Just keep buying a little by little grow your stack and if a emergency arises sell if you have to. Agree with everything above. But I would like to see this for another 5-10 years. I am not young. 54 in this moment.
Well, tell me what I’m missing please. As far as I can tell, the Chart represents “interest” BTC and cryptocurrency. If that’s NOT correct, please elaborate. It’s no secret that BTC is and has been, being adopted and accepted by the world, and for quite some time now. Certain cryptocurrencies are also becoming more popular and into the fold. Every day, there’s more news about the subject. If you’re NOT aware of this, then you need to crawl out from under the rock you live in. That’s WHY I COMMENTED
as a proud buttcoiner - i have to ask - what would be the point buying that late? downvote me to hell, but give a solid answer please? definitely won't "invest" at that point to double the money, nor use it as store of value, so what would be the point? chatGPT says at that point (1BTC=$5.3M) it would be bigger than everything else in the world combined, here's a copy paste from chatGPT: \--------- To be bigger than the world economy, Bitcoin's total market cap would need to exceed **global GDP**, which is roughly **$105 trillion** (as of 2024, give or take). There are about **19.7 million BTC** in circulation (max supply is 21 million, but not all are mined yet). So: 105 trillion (dollar value) / 19.7 million BTCs ≈$5.33 million per BTC **Rough answer**: Bitcoin would need to be worth **over $5.3 million per coin** to exceed the global economy. \--------- and at that point - my original question: WHY BUY?? obviously not to invest, amirite? 🤯🫠
and yes bitcoin can be something like online gold BUT WHY THE F are you morons complaining about fiat. without fiat your little coin is worth nothing
Funniest thing is when BTC does a -3% in a day "OMG WHY ARE WE DUMPING?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Literally everyone telling you what to do but not WHY. You are looking for a dip but not seeing one, because you're looking at the chart TODAY. If BTC tomorrow shot to $200k then today was the dip and you didn't even know it. That said, do what everyone else is suggesting. Buy a little bit every day and hold. DCA what you can afford. Hold on to it. I starting buying in at $23k, which at the time for me seemed like a gamble also. "Man, this is pretty high price. But let's see where it goes." And here I am holding ten times as much with the price at $105k.
I’m an ex-cybersecurity professional and the fact that their stock is up 9% on this news is a reminder WHY I am an ex-cybersecurity professional.
Your the scammer rn or you saw a phrase online and feel half for the scam. You saw the seed phrase Input it after someone said how do I get X amount of trust wallet here's the seed phrase You did that Saw I'm guessing 1-5k eth in USD or AUD Tried to withdraw and saw the message no gas/funds for the chain to pay it's a multisig wallet you would never be able to send money out as the wallet you view is a view wallet in the multisig wallet. Multisig wallet requires multiple people to confirm/make the send. IF YOU SEND ANY FUNDS TO THE WALLET THEY TAKE IT $3-5 DOLLARS EVERY PERSON TRYING WHAT YOU DID ADDS UP THAT'S WHY THE SCAM WORKS.
You're almost there, buddy... Now ask yourself WHY it lost that much purchasing power? Almost as if that was OP's point, and the point of why this sub has 8 million members.
actually guys, WHY are we getting this rally before macro environment improve & rate cuts?? where do this liquidity come from
