just get a drip of yourself and understand that lightning has failed the test of time, its time to move on, ask for something better. ask your gods to do something. (no 'ask' isnt an acronym for ass kiss)
not just kiss their ass, flatter them with compliments while they do other things sponsored by banking institutions, rather than the decentralised bitcoin community they should be taking care of

But it's worth noting that blockchain data alone leaves out a significant detail.  Intent.  

A hard fork proposal was announced by Bitmain prior to the activation of SegWit.  This is all very well documented, but certain disinfomation agents like franky1 continue to sweep it under the rug because it doesn't fit their agenda or their attempts to distort history.  The declaration was always there that a hardfork would take place if SegWit were likely to activate.  And thus, BCH happened.

Bitmain wanted nothing to do with SegWit because it was a threat to their business model.  They were always going to pursue the existence of a blockchain where SegWit was not activated.  See the ASICboost controversy for further detail.  It's clearly a lie for franky1 to insinuate that the hardfork was anything to do with the method by which SegWit was activated.  Whether it had been NYA, UASF or Core's original proposal, Bitmain would have been pushing for a hardfork regardless.

But since franky1 is a sociopath, he will now proceed to come up with some more ridiculous technobabble about how his delusional version of history is somehow accurate (it isn't).  I hope everyone enjoys the rest of this topic getting thoroughly derailed because franky1 is an obnoxious piece of shit who won't accept reality.

Well despite having long-term perspectives in mind while buying Bitcoin, we must still put in mind that our entry price matters a lot because the buy price is what determines the level and time of profits, this is so because those that bought their first Bitcoin at all-time high price above $55,000-60k+ are going to wait longer before the records profits compared to those that bought bitcoin at a discounted price below $16,000-20k if bitcoin make any all-time high above the last ATH.

you just hit the nail on the head. I appreciate your honest response to my question. I do know that not having a stable source of income while relying 100% on trading profits might not be the way to go for most people and it might mess up trading psychology since a new trader would have to choose between their empty stomach and withdrawing a part of their trading capital every time to survive. This isn't the ideal way to go.

I do have some concerns:  

Someone with a stable source of income might just want a trading career or has a passion for trading and numbers. This wouldn't apply to them?
 

Thank you.

I agree with you. No one can predict for sure where the bottom of BTC will be. In my opinion, you should determine where your buy zone is, when the btc price reaches the target price area you start buying. You can divide into many buy zones with different weights. When you buy BTC at a good price, your psychology will be very stable when the price fluctuates up and down. And you will hold BTC to the target price you expect.

im not a bitcoin cash fan. i never used it i never even claimed their forked coins of the same key i used on bitcoin ever

you are the ultimate troll that are again spouting silly rhetoric trained on you by an idiot mentor of yours that makes you think those that dont treat core as god must be a fork coin lover

 

Your script is to convert "layer 2" to "subnetwork".  
Your script is to convert "offchain" to "other networks".  
Your script is to convert an inclusive and eloquent soft fork into "bloat".  

subnetworks have a NICHE but are not the solution. especially not this flawed subnetwork called LN that needs a complete rebuild or be scrapped and a fresh attempt made using different economic model.. rather then waiting another half decade for empty promises and pretend successes, even when the stats do not convey what they pretend

Wait?

Would be great right if bitcoin drive its value and more and more people join the crypto industry right or I am missing something here so in my opinion Bitcoin ETF is great but anything also has advantages and disadvantages

the big Disadvantage is those companies like BlackRock and other US companies will have the majority of Bitcoin maybe in total would be couple of percent of Bitcoin supply and the ETF buyer dont have real impact to Bitcoin world

Of course, the difference in capital that you mention is incredible, because a few billion $ compared to $10 trillion managed by one company together with all other companies/funds make up tens of trillions of $ in value, and all this in a possible combination with investing in Bitcoin definitely tickles the imagination of anyone who thinks about it.

The question of all questions is how much interest there is in investing in Bitcoin through such funds - is it 1%, 5% or maybe even 10% - are we talking about tens, hundreds of billions of $ or even trillions of $?

The evidence is clear.  On-chain "scaling" (which isn't actually scaling) might gain a few extra transactions per second.  But off-chain allows for a far greater number of transactions per second.  Even with all your whining about routing issues, it's still giving us, right now, a larger number of transactions than your caveman notions of how Bitcoin ought to work would give us.  No one cares about your backwards, ignorant notions about how this should work.  You have zero credibility, you can barely even read and most people find you to be an undesirable nuisance at best.  Give it a rest, you deluded basket-case.

When I talk about scaling in this article, I’m talking about one thing and one thing only, increasing functionality without sacrificing decentralization, and the total set of validating nodes is one of the most direct representations of how decentralized the network is. Focusing on anything else when discussing scaling in regards to blockchain networks is either a result of not properly understanding this, disagreeing with it, or an act of intentionally misleading for whatever reasons one may have to do so.

Hello. I am interested in learning about "The blocksize war".

I have been in Bitcoin since 2020, and therefore, I don't know the history before 2020. I know that it was a "debate" regarding the block size, but I want to read details about it.

I can google it, but I don't know who to trust. So, knowing that there are many knowledgeable people in this forum, could you tell me more about this period?

Of course, any relevant website, video, article is more than welcome.
 

you seem obsessed that the debate is core or bcash...

This has been the norm for a long time. I know a lot of self-acclaimed expert traders who primarily make their money from users subscribing to their signal service or enrolling programs. If majority of the trading learning resources (video, article, etc) are from traders who aren't profitable, it becomes a problem for newbies to learn since they would be unprofitable as well when they eventually put the trading skills to practice.

Biggest question iis findimg quality trading resources.

BlackRock wants to offer a spot BTC ETF to the market, which for me is something much different than the fact that they as a company have a special interest in Bitcoin or anything else except that their company increases profits. In addition, the part of their request in which they mention forks does not look the least bit friendly when it comes to Bitcoin, because they already suggest in that statement that they could choose any fork that would be more favorable for them at that moment.

What Is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investing?

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing refers to a set of standards for a company’s behavior used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments.

Furthermore, why the fascination with the trillions of $ they manage as if all that money or at least some significant part will flow towards BTC? We can hope for some things, but we still need to be realistic and take into account the other two possible outcomes - and the first is that the SEC will not approve the ETF, and the second is that even if it is approved, it will not have too much of an effect on the BTC price.

Maybe he should read [GUIDE] All About Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)


CBDCs are from governments and central banks and I think they will be made legally at least in their nations. Their governments and central banks that create those CBDCs will accept their own CBDCs legally.

I guess you wanted to discuss that CBDCs will be considered as illegal at global scale. Like a CBDC in one nation will be considered as illegal in other nations or by IMF. Is it what you meant?

When it did exist, yes, but isn't BlueWallet's hub shut down?

The worst advice to convince the Average Joe and Jane to invest in Bitcoin is when someone force them to start buy now when they still not understand what's Bitcoin, how's Bitcoin work and the reason they want to invest in Bitcoin.

Most of people are invest in Bitcoin for making money, but if they're invest in Bitcoin because of decentralization, inflationary, security, privacy and be your own bank reasons, they're definitely long term holder and not care about FUDs.

In my venture to explore the Lightning Network (LN), I opted for the seamless experience provided by BlueWallet. The transactions conducted were solely in BTC, amounting to a mere USD $0.1. The swiftness of these transactions was remarkable, accompanied by remarkably low fees. However, I find myself more inclined towards Bitcoin (segwit) due to familiarity.

For LN, it may be suitable for facilitating sales and purchases at various stores while also introducing the original Bitcoin, highlighting how it is perceived, what is observed, and so forth. As of now, there are no plans to uninstall the game here.

What was the expectation?

It’s centralize and control is the whole point. For what is worth, we still operating some form of mobile banking and has got to operate just the way commercial banks do operate and that is, freezing and unfreezing of account, transferring coins as they deem fit and monitoring the transaction of users. It makes no difference. CBDC and mobile banking, it’s typically the same thing to me.

There still exists a huge difference between CBDC and cryptocurrency hence, the ideas which backs it up to be a competitor for the cryptocurrency innovation is very much wasted.
