Incredible that such a relatively young asset can take such a beating, so many times but still keep coming back & hitting new ATH’s.

It’s almost as if we might just be on to something special, after all these years

Satoshi owes you & owes us NOTHING. He has no pressure to reveal his identity at all. I actually think it’d be detrimental for Satoshi to reveal himself, he would become a mere mortal then.

I think it’d cause all kinds of problems.

It’s human psychology in the sense that you can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. These people won’t buy, no matter how low we go. Then when we pump and hit new ath in 2024 & 2025, they will be saying it’s not fair & hating bitcoin. These are the 9 to 5, desk monkeys. They will never break free from modern slavery.

He likes making lots of money?

That’s probably a good place to start, as to why he’s interested in buying banks. Maybe he thinks it’d be good to have a guaranteed, safe off-ramp for his customers. Easy exchange to fiat bank bridge with no bull shit bank chiefs stopping transactions.

Nobody who was so intelligent would have lost access to all of his coins & be alive. I have no doubt that whoever Satoshi is, is either dead or happily watching his baby develop & prosper. He could quite easily be alive & have solo mined, sold some of those coins & we wouldn’t know.

Smart money always accumulates & makes big decisions when wimpy retail is hiding away having weak hands. The smart money always moves in the dark when others are fearful.

Always do what the majority aren’t doing. Bear markets are opportunity!

Bitcoin is the future of money but it’s going to take a while to achieve global mainstream adoption

Just keep humbly stacking as much as you can to prepare yourself for the inevitable.

The worldwide economy, all stocks & assets have been in a bubble, even real estate. We are set to enter a deep recession & due to macro, bitcoin will struggle short term too.

The halving is in 2024, we will see another big bull run from then to end of 2025.

Just be patient.

I think bitcoin has matured a little since Elon started his FUD campaign over energy consumption by miners. He said a couple of moderately negative things since then & it doesn’t seem to negatively impact the market any more.

As the years go by people will give less of a damn about individual opinions & even government comments.

All I can advise is to simply keep stacking sats. There are over 60 million millionaires globally (various sources). As we all know, there are only 21,000,000 to ever be mined. There are not close to enough whole bitcoin’s to be owned. Become one of the few & keep buying.

I think a healthy mixture of both indoor & outdoor activities are good for you.
You can take part in both with family & friends, depending on what time of year it is & what the weather is like etc.
it’s important for mind & body to do at least some form of outdoor activity semi regularly. You can watch movies & stuff like that with family indoors too so there is a healthy balance.

Lost bitcoin’s almost certainly positively affect the price in some way.

It’s very sad for the owners of lost coins but they make everybody else’s more valuable. Bitcoin is already a really scarce, deflationary asset by design. Lost coins make it even more valuable.

Only 21,000,000 to ever be mined & as you said, over 3,000,000 already lost. You could say lost coins are a donation to the financial benefit of everybody else.

Almost everything Elon touches turns to gold eventually. I don’t think he will integrate DOGE into the payment system of Twitter though.

I half think Elon just enjoys mild trolling & the narcissistic traits he has make him continue pumping DOGE because the community treats him like a God. He loves the attention.

Feels like a very long time ago the price was in the $60,000’s. It’s going to take 2 years or so but we will hit a new ath & go far higher than the current ath.

Only the strongest hands can handle the volatility of bitcoin & the long, bleak bear markets we have to endure.

Stay patient & stack sats.

NFT’s were 2021 bull run version of the ICO craze from 2017. They’re basically a massive scam/ponzi. Nobody can tell me that a JPEG image can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don’t know if you can classify it as art, it’s a massive bubble though that’s not popped & will never recover.

I don’t think the US is being too hard on crypto. There are many altcoin projects & tokens that are scams, run by unscrupulous actors. I do however, think that the US is being too hard on bitcoin specifically. There should be a spot bitcoin ETF by now. It’s a real joke that the SEC refuse to grant us one, citing protecting investors as a reason to keep denying one.

Diversification is good but please do your own research before taking advice from anybody on these forums. Lots of people will be shilling their bags so you need to do your own extensive research before investing, based on the advice of a stranger.

It’s a minefield out there, you need to be careful where you put your money.

I’m not a fan of modern music, they don’t make it like they used to. It’s all made on computers now, auto-tune etc, load of rubbish. I quite liked 90’s & early 00’s rap when I was a kid growing up, I don’t enjoy a lot of music to be honest.

Obviously I really appreciate artists who write their own music.

This is why you should never invest more than you can afford to lose in unknown, unproven alts/tokens.
You can make a lot of money getting in early on these type of projects but you’re just as, if not more likely to lose everything. I prefer to stick with more established coins but make sure to do as much research as you can before you go down this route.

That’s insane, nature is damn impressive, look at the size of that thing. Their digestive systems are so interesting to study, literally swallowing their prey whole & slowly digesting them. The fact that they won’t need to eat for a long time after a meal that size is fascinating.

Obviously it’s a real tragedy & may she rest in peace. This is Mother Nature right there though, Grandma ended up lower down in the food chain than that hungry snake sadly.
