I don't know how busy you are to not have any time to learn about something like Bitcoin. You don't even need to grasp everything in a single week — you could simply just read for an hour a day, and you'd still be ahead than the herd. Unless you know, you simply aren't that interested to actually exert in effort.

But if you want to learn:

Crypto-fication of a huge majority of  things is unnecessary. I'm yet to be convinced why Bitcointalk needs to be changed to a 'web 3' style platform; as I think it's totally unnecessary. Unless you have a viable reason to change things, of course. I'm open to ideas!

If your bitcoin is worth <$200 then just install BlueWallet[1] on your mobile phone. On the other hand, if it's more than $200, grab a hardware wallet[2].

1. Don't use leverage
2. Only trade using a small size
3. Expect a lot of losses early on



I doubt that there are actual great traders here. With trading, you're pretty much going against full-time quants and analysts — hence why I never recommend trading to anyone lol. Investing is more positive-sum, while trading is a zero-sum game.

When talking about the unbanked, Bitcoin doesn't necessarily fix it, because neobanks can. Bitcoin comes in when talking about malicious government actors and fucked up local currencies — not necessarily the unbanked.

Do people even promote on the dark web? I'm pretty sure a lot of usage is there, but not necessarily promotion. Most promotions are done in the surface web — obviously because a huge majority of users use the surface web.

As for which you should promote to — why not both?

Pretty sure the rural vs urban thing will differ from country to country. The relevancy of bitcoin on rural vs urban areas will totally depend on how much they 'need' Bitcoin — regardless if it's because of needing bitcoin as an actual inflation hedge, or probably just as a get rich quick scheme that people are willing to risk for better finances.

This is an interesting topic that I sparked up back then once just for discussion purposes — safe to say a lot of people didn't like it lol.


It definitely wouldn't be like that. Sure, the supply still shrinks and shrinks slowly, but as time goes bitcoin goes up in value as well. People will be incentivized to not lose them; not like back then when bitcoin was merely a few cents so people didn't care much about their private key backups.

Bitcoin isn't necessarily the alternative to physical cash — digital fiat is. You know — PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or whatever your local version of these apps are.

Bitcoin doesn't solve the physical problem of cash — bitcoin solves the monetary problems of fiat money.

Just ignore it — you don't need to defend bitcoin with all your will. It's not like you can explain to your child how bitcoin is not a scam and all that because bitcoin (and probably money in general) is probably still a bit too complex to explain at that age anyway.

What you need to know is to simply not take this community forum too seriously. Just like how you talk to other people on some social media group — as long as you follow the rules by not spamming and scamming and all that, you're good to go.

It's just FUD in general — not necessarily because the halving is around the corner. I'm pretty sure the government could care less about the halving. The FUD recently has mostly been before the spot ETF announcements — it's a pretty safe assumption that it's been coordinated.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. While I hope you're right, don't bet on specific timeframes that your coins are going to rise in price. Just thing long term, and that's it.

Nothing, and I mean nothing is hack proof. The thing with Bitcoin is that it just has been battle tested for a decade now, hence why it's very unlikely to be 'hacked'.


If you're bullish for the long term, now. If you're not bullish at all, never. If you want something more specific, then damn go ask a fortune teller.

We all know bitcoin's scarcity is far more guaranteed than golds, but this is the subjective part:


Obviously most people still value gold far more than bitcoin — the marketcap difference itself is enough proof.

Not sure if I get it — but doesn't Sparrow share the same pool as Samourai's? Like with them just basically implementing Samourai's whirlpool in their UI?

There have been a lot of debates between Wasabi vs Samourai mixers that I don't really understand which one is superior. But based on what I've been seeing — Wasabi is apparently superior than Samourai. I couldn't fully understand it so I just picked the one with better public sentiment. (P.S. this is besides the Wasabi chain analysis thing.)

That's too optimistic — knowing that BlackRock's spot ETF proposal isn't even guaranteed to go through even if you argue that it's likely.

Spoiler alert: a spot ETF isn't going to stop bitcoin from having price declines.

The point of dollar-cost averaging is to make buys regardless of market sentiment, because people make bad decisions based on market behaviour. DCA-ers are highly more likely to outperform dip buyers when talking about the long-term.

To put it simply — shoving bitcoin down people's throats even if they're not asking about it is akin to people trying to promote ponzi/MLM schemes to friends and family, even if bitcoin is a totally legitimate asset. Simply a huge no-no.
