Actually what's makes bitcoin to fall and rise is information and from my perspective a country war can not make a bullrun if its to occur in 2024 not to occur, the problem between Palestinian and Israel is not supposed to have any effect in cryptocurrency market what guarantees the increase in price of bitcoin is when a bitcoin have a good investors that come into the market.

Besides some countries ban bitcoin but bitcoin continues to exist, so that should be one of the major reasons and concerns we have in cryptocurrency, country conflict or challenge does not have any impacts in bitcoin increment and bitcoin decrement, let as assume as I portrayed before that what triggers the anger of bitcoin to come up in price is due to supply and demand, when the supply is higher than demands the price of bitcoin get increased.

Gambling is a game of mind and those that do not have the mindset to bet might surely lose.

One thing I have noticed about gambling is based on the kind of risk you are ready to take. Those who are risk take would understand what betting actual mean and the level of what we can sacrifice for a particular bet. Those who had been winning are those who understand the kind of risks they have to take on a particular bet. I have made some good profits in betting which I never thought of winning because I totally lose hope on that bet because I thought the kind was too risky for be to keep my mindset on it.

It is certain that we will lose access that requires the internet, that is one thing that will happen if the internet goes down completely. If we talk about internet needs at this time, it is unlikely that the internet will completely shut down, unless there is war or disaster. There is no reason that can cut off the internet in the midst of human life which all uses technology and that is one of the big needs today in any country. The banking system also requires internet for the network they use so when an internet outage occurs their system cannot function.

A small example that often occurs in countries where power outages often occur, just look at when the lights go off, the banking network will automatically turn off and cannot be used. Money at the ATM cannot be withdrawn and things will become more complicated. The question is, is it possible that the internet will completely shut down and many systems managed by the government need the internet at this time.

To be honest, I don't think I'll be able to hold Bitcoin until it reaches $1 million. I can't imagine how it will affect my life. Because I always want to take advantage of the volatility. So when I see a big pump, I want to sell my holdings and buyback again. So I am not sure if I can buy it back successfully after selling it. I assume most holders will sell their holdings before reaching $1 million, and new buyers will enter the market. They might hold on until then.

If someone holds 1 bitcoin in 2023, can he call himself rich ? If not, how many bitcoins holding is equal to being rich in your opinion ?

I do gamble with no expectation in casinos, so whenever I’m happy regardless of its amount if its time to go then I’ll go. It’s hard if you always put a target every time you go to casinos since you’ll be more focus on that and you might forget to actually enjoy the game and this could result to a more aggressive approach just to achieve your goal. Making profit in gambling is not guaranteed, so better not to have any target profit because its not easy to achieve.

I see a lot of people blaming gambling for all sorts of things in this thread, but I think it’s also important to have some personal responsibility and accountability for your own actions. The fact is if you want to be irresponsible with your money there are a million ways to do it, but at the end of the day it is you that makes the decision whether or not to risk your money.

When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, he got a skeptical reception at best. Cryptographers have seen too many grand schemes by clueless noobs. They tend to have a knee jerk reaction.

I was more positive. I had long been interested in cryptographic payment schemes. Plus I was lucky enough to meet and extensively correspond with both Wei Dai and Nick Szabo, generally acknowledged to have created ideas that would be realized with Bitcoin. I had made an attempt to create my own proof of work based currency, called RPOW. So I found Bitcoin facinating.

When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

Today, Satoshi's true identity has become a mystery. But at the time, I thought I was dealing with a young man of Japanese ancestry who was very smart and sincere. I've had the good fortune to know many brilliant people over the course of my life, so I recognize the signs.

We should never forget the existence of the risk factor. We make our investments to make a profit, but we need to take every possibility into consideration.

I think Bitcoin's 4-year cycles will continue and the bull season will occur in 2024. There may be a 1-year delay, but we will finally experience the bull season. We all want the value of our investments to increase. I don't want to say anything that will be 2x or 3x, but I think there will be a new ATH.

I don't think so, having a back up with several companies could still help it to get up whenever it's being seen about to fall. But there is no doubt that he's done a lot of bad decisions and call out with this acquisition of Twitter.

He's got a plan on it that we don't know, maybe there really is.

There's another news[1] again that they'll charge $1 for new users from New Zealand and Philippines. This is gonna prove that users aren't bot because the platform is mostly used for propaganda, trolls and bots.

[1] X will start charging new users in two countries $1 per year

What is Israel beside bitcoin, who is government besides bitcoin, nothing can stop bitcoin, not even the government, ban or no ban, bitcoin remains irresistible, the only people that will be affected are the citizens in the country where this ban is being made, we can see right from the beginning, how the government have been fighting against bitcoin just because they realized the power it could give the people in having control over their finances, yet they couldn't stop bitcoin adoption, instead it keep increasing more and more.

When people start up a company, they give it some years before they expect profits. Most times they even re-invest their profits to expand and build their company to the standard they desire and this requires time. Furthermore, when people buy stocks of a company or make investment in businesses, they give it time which run into years before they expect profits.

Unfortunately, when people buy Bitcoin, they expect huge profits within a short period of time. This is the source of panic and fud that is exhibited by many Bitcoin investors.

While educating people about Bitcoin, I think it is wise we tell them Bitcoin need time to yield profit, let us change our approach in sharing Bitcoin knowledge so that people will not come into Bitcoin with the mindset of get-rich-quick.
