For now don't invest into bitcoin thinking the price will go up.
This is not a good thing to insinuate for a potential investors, It can scare them away and some of them may take it wrongly because they do not understand and not want to invest in bitcoins now because you are saying that the prices will not go up now, whereas bitcoin is very unpredictable and can blow up in just a few minutes which makes it even better to invest in now than later. Invest in bitcoins now because you cannot predict how the next few hours will go for bitcoins. This is dump AF. Yeah IT can go to hell, it may NEVER go up. Then you last sentence contradicts you first point and make the point of the person you quoted. We call that here "shitting down both legs"

You are doing something not nothing like most in the world.
Are you wasting money on stuff like eating out and cafe's? Alcohol? Can you clean up your budget?
Work, find a higher paying job? Move up? Side hustle? Second job?
It doesn't happen overnight.
Keep your head up

Here is the energy tab from the CIA factbook (amazing resource) https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/laos/#energyIt seems they have coal but have zero production of petroleum and natural gas, but some google-fu points they just don't have any. They have pipelines to import NG but is seems the burn their own coal (I get it) https://www.iea.org/countries/laosThey don't have any wind or solar power to speak of but those could augment the grid and lower the demand on hydro preserving more of the capacity. But never expect a commie country to do smart things. Mining bitcoin with scarce resources is not a wise idea.

My take away his Mea Culpa doesn't seem genuine. It will play out.
Even though it's negative he is getting attention right here right now.
He is just one of many making "predictions". If anyone is that good at predictions they would be in Manhattan, not making pictures of falling wedges and head and shoulders pattern in moms basement.

Ol Bitboy went down in flames a few days ago. It's really not that shocking given the way he carry's himself.
I really don't care either way but I do wander through the Youtube/Reddit blow hards. So I hedge against what the collectively say because they are mostly wrong most of the time. There are some REALLY big names that seem to foster a pump and dump cabal. I chuckle when predictions are cast, it mostly hope not real data.
Be careful who you listen too

That's actually going to be a very problematic situation for Saudi Arabia, if not a laughable one. Rupees used like mere tokens in an amusement park.
It would have been better if the BRICS nations agreed to use an apolitical, impartial, decentralized network/currency for their international trade needs. If only there was something like it invented, no? [/quote]
I would have liked to seem them use bitcoin, but I would hate the repercussions of the excuse the US liberal politicians to hate on it.

Well if you don't have the water then something has to be done. I would consider mining a sub critical load. Nothing bad is going to happen if they stop mining. Power goes out to hospitals, schools, airport, business and such you have a much bigger problem. They do the same in Texas during extreme events.

I don't know of many currencies I would want to be left holding in a trade. Rupee's , Ruble no way. Euro's could work but not sure.
Say country X buys billions in whatever from country Y. What the heck is country Y going to do? They are going to have to exchange it somehow or where so it's a mute point. Unless it's a true trade like the cement for your coal or whatever. I am unaware of that happening at any scale. (trading gold is clunky but still works)
I'm sure many countries are tired of us printing and exporting inflation to them.

I hope the alt coin shit dies and that market cap pours in BTC. I really don't expect much more from altcoins than a few flair ups or Elon comes out like the Doge incident. So many it's stupid and diluted. I quietly went by but the new EDX exchange (big boys) seemed to breath some interest in Litecoin and Bitcoincash. They utilize "The exchange offers trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDX_MarketsI will be sticking with what the big boys do going forward.

I keep as little as possible on my exchange, long term stuff get's moved to HW wallet. However I do have a presence on Fidelity but they are not an exchange and I am not worried about them. I can move in and out of the market with zero overhead. You just can't move anything in or out and I kinda like that for what I use it for.

Well that red head at the end of the bar.... oh oh oh bitcoin
started on blockfi until they went tits up, ledger/live now. but for invest trading stuff Fidelity, too easy

You can bring BTC everywhere you go. Gold will be tough to carry
Here is a prime example of the "me too" firm grasp of the well known and obvious! Thanks for adding to our knowledge.

"Investing in ETFs at the right time might be even more lucrative."
Come on bro, I don't expect this bullshit from a Legendary member. Since when investing in a crap shit became Lucrative? I am sick of all these ETFs posts on this forum. Can you all just stop and cut the crap? Why not buy the Bitcoin directly from the exchanges or mine it? TF is wrong with people nowadays.
ETFs are by the dumb people with money, for the dumb people with money. Bitcoin isn't. Bitcoin is for the people who know how this technology works and what scarcity is.
ETF and indexes can be handy like SPY, VNQ FXAIX and such for the proper situation. Some entities cannot directly buy bitcoin but can hold an ETF or indirectly get some exposure through Micro Strategy. Possibly a much easier to sell the board in a corporate setting. Would I hold a BTC ETF myself no. Maybe in my matching 401k if I could. Much more valuable sitting here in HW wallet.

Gary would need to be replaced first, the big guys in govt don't want bitcoin at all because it's poses a threat.

Bitcoin is a TERRIBLE choice for anyone nearing or in retirement. You simply don't have the time or income to recover. I think a number of no more than 5% of portfolio tops on a good day. If it gets rowdy and jumps up move the money into more secure positions. I have alot of friends who lost their asses on "sure things" in retirement. I had a friend go into retirement from an airline and he had his investments in the airline too, company man. Company folded along with his pension and stock. Don't get greedy in retirement portfolios as you age, ever.
If you young sure play with it, don't make it you only thing.

Why bitcoins? because it is a personal asset that cannot be foreclosed, seized and can give large earnings, gold is less unstable and gives moderate earnings constant over time but can be seized, stolen or requisitioned
ALLOT of Bitcoin has been seized by the US govt. Realizing large profits without paying taxes will get you bracelets and the cool things you purchased, gone.

Well older people have the money, prolly want to invite them to the game!
Yes, but most of that money is invested in paywalled accounts like a 401k, pension, etc. This is why the Spot ETFs are important. They are product market fit for the trillions boomers are sitting on. Wrong

What would make you smart is to show how you can wrap BTC and Gold together in a symbiotic portfolio (with other) to gain a position of wealth. The topic is why you should use bitcoin over gold. Not if putting everything into one basket is wise. The reasonable response is a list of properties that either bitcoin or gold does better than the other. Yeah I hear ya, just soooooo over this Bitcoin vs Gold imaginary grudge match. It's a simpletons argument
