WHY

VariatCA

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.

VariatCA

>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.

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!"

AltheaToldMe420

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

Logicalora

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

crazy_lolipopp

Funniest thing is when BTC does a -3% in a day "OMG WHY ARE WE DUMPING?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

spoooongebob

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.

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.

actually guys, WHY are we getting this rally before macro environment improve & rate cuts?? where do this liquidity come from

ignore_my_typo

I don’t want to prove anyone wrong, but many are missing out WHY we should be investing in Bitcoin. A coin getting to $1 million dollars need only be celebrated if you’re calculating it in USD/Fiat and looking to sell or convert to fiat. We buy bitcoin because it’s a hedge against a debasing dollar and inflation. If Bitcoin went up 4%-5% a year (on average) it’s doing its job in preserving your wealth. Everything else is a bonus. Sure, as a bonus, and as people jump in it has speculative properties and we see high vol. with massive moves relative to equities. But over time that growth will lessen as the asset matures and it becomes more stable. Less vol to the up and down sides. But if you’re about self sovereignty and want to preserve your wealth then Bitcoin has the strongest properties of being the hardest money on earth. We are seeing ceos of some of the largest financial institutions touting the strength of BTC and suggesting a 1%-2% allocation. This will likely increase over time. But if everyone in the world just allocates 2% to Bitcoin then a million dollars a bitcoin (in usd fiat) isn’t hard to imagine. You also need to consider other countries whose dollars aren’t as strong as the USD. Right now 1 Bitcoin is approx $144,000 in CAD. So for Canadians it’s actually performing better. And in impoverished countries owning Bitcoin is literally a lifeline. Americans are likely the last to “need” Bitcoin. But fortunately the current administration seems to be taking a positive stance on it and moving bills to the house and senate to strengthen its properties. A win for us all.

Someone needs to reread the original [I AM HODLING](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0) post. > 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.

[How the US government seized all citizens’ gold in 1930s](https://theconversation.com/how-the-us-government-seized-all-citizens-gold-in-1930s-138467) "The reason we dropped the gold standard was because we moved towards a service and goods based value tied to the dollar." Who's this 'we', white man ? We (individuals) had nothing to do with it, it was Government Guns, taking our wealth by force, THAT is what moved us towards a 'service and goods based value tied to the dollar', but services and goods are NOT tied to the dollar, the dollar is tied to NOTHING, and as the Government prints more and more dollars, that is why inflation is ascendant, those services and goods become more and more expensive, and we are broke. Your nonsense explanation of the current system is WHY you don't get why gold worked, and crypto could work today. "This means the dollar globally rises and falls based on the value of its sovereign body's production. How would a cryptocurrency change any of that?" Ummm, no. The dollar rises and falls based on how many new dollars our corrupt government prints, relative to how many new pounds, or yen, or yuan the other guy's corrupt government prints, full stop. Yes, we have real production, but that has little barring on our money's value. The value of the dollar comes from how much money there is, relative to how many goods and services there are, and that value is dropping, like every day, as more and more free money is printed. How crypto would change that is that the Government can't print crypto ! Yes, government couldn't print gold either, but gold is in fact, harder to use, store, and send, than crypto is, which made it much easier to steal, since it was all in a few banks, back in old timey time 1933, so the dream of crypto is that hopefully we can have a money that we can hold ourselves (taken off the centralized exchanges, hopefully), can't be as easily stolen, and that can't be printed by government. Now is our corrupt government just going to sit back and accept our new money ? Of course not, but that is why we need people like you to understand the value of crypto, so we as a group, can move on from the broken dollar, to another type of money that isn't broken, in that crypto can't be covertly printed by government !

fresheneesz

You use the term "going exponential" as if exponential just means faster. It's not just sometimes going exponential, it's ALWAYS going exponential. That's WHY acceleration happens. Just plot x^1.5 and see what it looks like. The exponent doesn't change but the value accelerates

HODL” started as a drunken typo on a Bitcoin forum — and turned into crypto legend. Origin: • Date: December 18, 2013 • User: “GameKyuubi” • Forum: Bitcointalk.org • Post title: “I AM HODLING” He meant to type “HOLDING” but misspelled it while drunk, then doubled down and embraced the typo in a hilarious rant about not trying to time the market. Here’s a snippet: “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…” What it became: • A meme, then a mindset: “HODL” = Hold On for Dear Life • It came to represent diamond hands, ignoring short-term volatility and holding long-term — especially with Bitcoin. It’s now one of the most iconic crypto slang terms. Total crypto culture moment.-chagpt

>Bitcoin is a currency so its usefulness depends on circulation. Unlike stocks, its value requires people to sell. If no one had bought that pizza with it, or sold when it hit $1K, or cashed out in 2017... BTC wouldn’t be what it is today. No, Bitcoin's usefulness does NOT depend on its circulation, you stupid ignorant FOOL. This is a profoundly ignorant statement that reveals that despite having seen the amazing usefulness of BITCOIN for over 10 YEARS, you still spew this garbage nonsense about money needing to be spent to have value. Do you even bother to THINK about the asinine drivel that comes out of your dumb mouth? I HATE people like you. You never bother to THINK things though. You NEVER question your own ideas and thoughts. That is why you are and always will be a loser. WHY would bitcoin need to be sold or spent to have value? How can you possibly think that if people had insisted on HOLDING their bitcoin instead of spending it on pizzas and other hedonistic consumption that Bitcoin would be worth *less*? Do you even think about the stupid shit you say? People are WRONG about money. Money is NOT for spending. At *BEST* spending is an incomplete analysis of the usefulness of money. Anyone with half a brain can know this to be true by understanding that in order to spend any money, someone else downstream of that transaction MUST SAVE/HOLD that money on their balance sheet--otherwise the value would instantly drop to zero. Money is NOT a tool for spending. Its usefulness and value does NOT come from nor is dependent on losers like you who are to stupid to know what seems like a very obvious rule--you don't sell your fucking Bitcoin. Money is a tool for storing economic energy--a tool for saving, and its value comes from people who have the foresight to produce and then save that money on their balance sheet. No spending is required or even possible without a money first being demanded and used as SAVINGS. But you are too much of a loser to have even thought though that, so you keep parroting nonsense like some willfully ignorant child who believes whatever is said to them. I'm glad you didn't save your Bitcoin. You aren't worthy of this superior money. Now kindly go shit in your hat and stop repeating this blasphemy that "REEE! Spending is what makes money valuable!!!" . Have fun staying poor, you disgusting clown.

More like you need $1billion if you’re going to do a long short manipulation on a $10m position you think they don’t have Risk management in place? Of course they do. Even if this is a “Legit” 40x long on $10m for a $200m position that individual SHOULD have a minimum of $1 billion USD in avaliable funds to trade. WHY? Most traders risk NO MORE THAN 5% on any trade. The higher the price or position the smaller the % or $ will be used often 1% sometimes even less. If you have $1b 1% is $10m. So either they have $50m and made it all fast and look at the balance like a game and risk 25% of their assets or portfolio. I mean that’s the only reasonable excuse would be that they made 50m from $10k or $100k or heck 1k. It happens in crypto every day. Not $1k to 50m maybe $1k to 100k in a day is possible but you’d need to be in on a shit meme coin and call out at a perfect time or use a token that is AI managed and goes up and down ever week by 500-500k% which there are over 10 I know of that I am taking advantage of their market dynamic and their insider trading or early trading before the markets see it we all close and then people buy the top and loose. If you make money someone is loosing it to you. That’s how market works.

Yeah, but you need to look at WHY it was lower. Price of gas tanking was why it's lower. And that's only lower because traders are anticipating a hit to growth. This isn't the kind of reduction in CPI we're looking for.

At first, I was skeptical about Salvatore Signals. I’ve seen way too many ‘crypto groups’ promising overnight success. But this one felt different. The calls are structured, the analysis is clean, and the daily market breakdowns actually help you understand the WHY behind every move. After just a few weeks, I started seeing real results — not just in profits, but in confidence. You’re not gambling, you’re learning and executing with a clear strategy. This group isn’t just about signals — it’s about becoming smarter with your money. Glad I joined.”**

It’s going to take longer than 4 days, dude. Government moves slowly, but the fact that Bitcoin has already begun winning over nation-states, approved ETFs in the United States, and has companies switching their strategies to purchasing Bitcoin to keep on their books rather than be flush with excess cash is a very telling sign. Think whatever you want to, but if you try to continue doing some research, read some books, listen to Bitcoin podcasts, watch Keynote speakers and leaders in the BTC community explain the “WHY” about Bitcoin, eventually something will click in your head that makes it become so clear and obvious that you’ll wonder how you didn’t see Bitcoin as the answer before. Anyway, this thread has become old, so I’m done. Best of luck. I’m be over here stacking sats as fast as I possibly can before they get more and more expensive to buy (and then I’ll *still* be buying anyway…) ✌️

Hfksnfgitndskfjridnf

No, inflation isn’t good because it encourages people to spend. Inflation is good BECAUSE IT IS A RESULT OF GOOD MONETARY POLICY. Inflation is not the cause, it’s the effect. Let’s get down to the basics and fundamentals. People are incentivized to spend, always. Spending lets them secure the goods and services they need to life their lives. People will always desire to spend to get food/shelter/entertainment etc. you don’t need to incentivize people to spend, they will do it naturally. People also desire to save. The are uncertain about the future, they have enough food/shelter/entertainment etc currently and want to be able to secure that in the future, so they save to be able to do that. People will always desire to save. So what do we have? People always desire to spend and people always desire to save. How do these two things work under different monetary policies. If you have an expanding money supply, people can spend part of their income, and they can also save part of their income. Crucially, the amount they can save is EXACTLY EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT THE MONEY SUPPLY EXPANDS BY. This is a mathematical identity. If in year 1 your money supply is x, and in year 2 your money supply is x + y, then the amount of savings over that year is y. By definition. Different people will have different saving rates, but in aggregate total savings will be y, by definition. What happens in a monetary system like Bitcoin where the money supply never changes? In year 1 the money supply is x. In year 2 the money supply is x + y, where y is 0. We know from the paragraph above that y is how much people save in a year. So people’s saving in a fixed money supply is 0. THIS IS WHY FIXED MONEY SUPPLY IS BAD. Savings by definition is 0 in a fixed money supply. But we know that people don’t want to save 0 over the course of a year. They want to save a positive amount so that they can spend in the future. So what happens when people can’t save? They reduce their spending to try and save. Expect spending = income, again by definition. So by trying to save, people reduce their spending and thus reduce everyone else’s income in the economy. This is why an expanding money supply is good for an economy, it allows people to both spend and save. Inflation is a secondary cause of this expanding money supply. But inflation isn’t the driver, it’s an effect.

Newbie here. I took Michael Saylor's advice and did a 100 hours of research on bitcoin and im a believer. My first purchase was at 97k thinking it was already a +10k dip from the 108 high. Then multiple times @96, then 95, then 94. Trying to get in quickly but still in small increments. Watching it move daily and buying if it hit a new low across a 7 day period. As price fluctuated and slowly declined I told my friend I actually enjoy seeing BTC *drop more than increase. She looked PUZZLED and asked but WHY? Don't you want your investments to actually make money? I told her I have strong faith over the 10 year minimum I plan to hold that I'll make money. But in the interim: being so new and trying to buy in quickly, I appreciate the dips allowing me chances to do so at more affordable rates. Im very close to being at the total dollar amount invested that I've alloted myself. As long as all of my purchases have been sub 10k the all time high, then im happy because my mindset is a marathon to 10 years. From here on out I'll save cash to have on hand to deposit when dips happen and buy whenever price drops in levels of 5k. Have a long term formula for success and stick to it.

Damn, that’s my downfall. I knew it. I’m too social. I post things like this, and all these really kind and helpful people send me pm’s. Most of the time they have websites I can click with useful information. Why do I click every link I see!? WHY!?!? Haha.

"a lot of projects" no. because they weren't established projects. Only look at the top 100. Those top 100 are still 70-80% below previous cycle highs. There has been NO bull market for them, they are less than 50% of where they were even in March of 2024. I've been looking for any articles talking about WHY we aren't seeing any rotation into Alts (as a group) and have seen very little. Is it geographical? I don't know, but I have pretty much my entire future just COUNTING on those top alts just getting back to previous highs. I don't even need the normal 5-10X previous highs. I DO however need them to at least get back to there as a group.

Gather up any paperwork you have....copy of tax documents...copies of any emails...etc. Take it all and along with your friend....go to the police station. Dont call. Depending on how long ago your friend turned it over to the police...they may have sold it... WHY would your friend contact the police about bitcoin showing up in their wallet???!!!!!!

>left everything else to be built elsewhere. Building bridges to nowhere doesn't create value. I have come to realize, app devs and VCs are probably the most useless (in terms of opening new verticals) parties in this space. Infra devs are useful but they build everything with an open source mind, meaning their tech stack can get just "stolen" at very low marginal cost. > the early-adopter advantage they crave I don't even understand this argument. Most newcomers don't benefit from it because they aren't early anymore but they are the marginal bidder. And a whole lot of ETH "early-adopter", with influence, aren't even good steward for this space. * Cunts like Bankless/Daily Gwei were laughing at small account users' money getting burned by ETH gas because of lack of L1 scaling. For an ecosystem to grow, this "disgusting" aristocratic behavior is just very off-putting. * A whole load of them used their influence to shepherd noobs into the AI chatbot vaporware just to have a pissing contest with Solana. * A whole lots of them used their brands to run scams and pump-and-dumps during the NFT cycle and the early meme run in 2022/2023. * A whole lots of them are blatant hypocrites. They were all giddy about the "casino" when it was on Ethereum. I can give you endless examples. Now tell me why should marginal buyers be sympathetic toward these type of characters? > Where else is a blockchain as decentralized? Decentralization is not a panacea for everything. It is important to secure a permissionless store of value and all its related transactions. It is a means to an end. In precursor, you need to explain, WHY someone wants your permissionless "store of value". Security is only a piece of it.

Of course it's different now. Bitcoin is now governed by something larger than itself for the first time ever. The mining rate now is a nothing burger. Where wall street goes, btc will follow. As far as alts, the notion of "alt season" is over now. Alts will run with BTC and drop when btc is either down or sideways. You're just not going to get the sort of dominance break that would have previously caused an alt season. The earliest you'd ever see a break like that would be maybe when the Solana and to a lesser extent ETH ETF's could possibly fuel a break in dominance. But the thing is WHY? Why would you dump bitcoin at this point for an alt coin? You have sovereign money on the verge of coming in. And that's the issue for alts. BTC is just so strong right now that the alts have to live on the scratch. So good projects are going to continue to make money, and the rest will die.

Jesus christ. Saving taxes on buying Twitter doesn't mean that's WHY he did it. I clearly said of course he's going to do it in a way that helps his taxes out the best he can. Secondly, you claimed it's unrealized losses and he was rolling hisnlosses into the new company. THATS NOT TRUE. If he's saving on his taxes he is realizing the loses. Yes. He used his realized loses on the transaction to offset his tax liability. He didn't do it just to save on taxes. If you think this is a good strategy by all means go buy some stock for as much money as you have and sell it for a lot less, you will save on your taxes just like Elon.

WHY?! That being said if you sell you lose. It’ll go up to 248 again it’s one of the main tokens. Don’t be dumb and sell.

Post this in r/CryptoHiveMind And a WHY might get more people involved. Include your Ref Code I know it's about mapping noise globally... I think

WHY oh WHY does he has to comment on anything going on in the world ? Can’t he just keep his mouth shut ? I swear the more he posts to more people are fed up with him and ADA (i definately am ; )

You're not understanding. If you purchase at open, it may never return to that price. It doesn't matter if it's a great crypto or not. You have no idea what the long term holding interest is. You're getting negativity because it's a bad idea to invest in a new crypto. Period. If you buy crypto within the first year or two of open, you're gambling. You wouldn't buy a house not knowing the range of price, you wouldn't buy stock without knowing a range of price, WHY would you think it's a good idea to invest in something more volatile than those two without knowing a range?!

This is sketchy, this individual burnt `500 ETH` by sending it to the DeadWallet.... But is funded/executive of another wallet in control of `105,000+ ETH` ... What i wanna know is... WHY?!

Realityvoidx

You do realize if you've been paying attention to any of the conversations that's taken place (elon, DOGE hearing, ETC) you would understand that all roads are pointing TO adoption. The checks and balances are broken and they have been laying out all the reasons WHY we need adoption without saying we need adoption. It's a long game play, if are not piecing this together, but I understand the goal.

Dont use Start9 or umbrel. these drop in solutions are nice for ease of use and all, but they are just sets of software you neither control nor understand, curated by a third party. Like umbrel. Not your code, not your node. You cannot take these shortcuts without compromising the valuable properties of Bitcoin - at which point it begs the question WHY DO YOU WANT BITCOIN TO BE MORE TRUSTING?! Adoption? Number go up? Why are any of these things good? the entire purpose of running a node is to broadcast your own transactions without trusting someone else. you are trusting umbrel to update your code in time and prevent exploits (which has already happened before) and not act malicious. this actually happened not to long ago with an issue on the lightning network that caused everyone with an umbrel node to be stuck at a certain block. umbrel users were left fucked for a long time because the umbrel company took forever to update the hotfix.

Great video for people to FUD into and then be left holding bags with. The main question is... WHY will people use XRP specifically? The tech they have is great and IMHO that's what gives the coin it's "value". What this video doesn't explicitly state is that for XRP to reach those kinda mammoth numbers, it would have to replace fiat currency. If that were the case, why would governments choose XRP and not come up with their own coin and simply use XRPs tech? Quite simply, CBDCs are coming and they're inevitable. Even Fink said he wants to see it all tokenized. This is great for blockhain and crypto, but why would a government depend on XRP when it can create it's own digital asset?

I’ll ask one last time and if you don’t reply, you’re just trolling: #WHY DO YOU NOT WANT TO ABOLISH THE GOVERNMENT?

Way to complete dodge the question! I’ll ask again: #WHY DO YOU NOT WANT TO ABOLISH THE GOVERNMENT?

WHY. ??? put what you got left into Bitcoin only if you can afford another 10k there’s good chance you will get it all back by the end of year. I put in 10k. In November last year up 3k. Already

Study Bitcoin and understand WHY you’d want it. You should only be concerned with learning at this point. a good start imo would be “What’s the Problem?” by Joe Bryan on YouTube. Stay humble and stack sats.
