Don't miss up security consciousness with decentralization talk. Natural disaster, robbery don't understand that word. Whether it is kept in the bank or at home, the priority is to keep it safe, I don't see what decentralization got to do with that, it is not that they will open to see what is inside.

Anyone who is looking to store his/her crypto assets key in the bank or in another separate secured place other than his/her must have large sum.

Lots of new and some old investors rely on other people's decision before investing, I have come across several people like that (especially on telegram) asking my opinion about some  projects.
Such people will take whatever you say to them as the focus point to invest. They don't seem to care if you are a total stranger they just meet in the internet or not.

The way I see it..... it seems @op is talking about another project called 'bitcoin satoshi' which I don't know where he gets that. Otherwise, I don't understand why he will be confused and thinks btc is scam after several years in existence, this is ridiculous.

Both period comes with different benefits depending on how you are able to take advantage of each period. Bear period brings opportunity to buy btc and some top alts at cheap price while bull period gives an equal opportunity to sell at a peak. So to me, no period is better than the other. They compliment each other.

Could the drastic drop also as a result of the bear period? Between, in a normal circumstance how many people are actually using these ATMs to buy or withdraw on a daily basis? If the % is as high as what I read above, I don't think anyone will be eager to make use of btc atm to buy. That's a complete ripoff.

Such posts should be accompanied by the source link, some forum members like to check the source of the content to ensure its authenticity. That being said, btc has been castigated for high energy consumption and bad to the environment severally for a long time but if some new study is out to counter such claims, it will be good for btc and the entire crypto community but unfortunately, I doubt the btc haters would find this new study any relevant.



You should focus more on providing good and quality posts than merit even though i know it is important to help you grow in rank, but once you post something worthy of being merited, am sure you will be merited.

Hope you don't get a heart attack because of btc because while you are gone the market will keep moving ahead. If you want to have peace of mind in this market, learn to have a long-term goal, this way all these minor drops won't bother you too much, but if you keep looking at the market every second then you are definitely close to getting a heart attack.
If you can't handle the pressure don't be in this space.

I think whales have found a toy to play with, they must be behind the occasional pump and dump of luna if not what else could make a worthless project with infinite supply to keep pumping in price?
Traders don't care about anything else than making profit and it is clear luna is doing that for them. Despite this artificial pump, this is not a safe project to invest in. Always DYOR.

This is no longer news, every day the central bank of Nigeria always coming up with one directive or another to make life even more difficult for the people.
They already introduce a daily spending limit long ago, but it seems that's not enough for cbn and the government, several limitations yet more are still coming.
If only btc is generally accepted perhaps it will lighten the situation, but that's not the case, and the majority of people are still ignorant of btc and crypto in general. So the problem will persist.

This is how btc grows when there is more usage than just holding and waiting for the next ath. It is always nice and exciting to read this type of news.
Like it or not, btc acceptance is growing and expanding, the smarter ones wants to be a part of the revolution.

It can't be the first time things like this are happening all together. This is the first it happens in our generation,  almost like things are going from bad to worse without anyone knowing how it will all end for things to go back normal.
To me I think the biggest is covid-19,  it literally short the world down on a standstill. Russia-Ukraine war does not have such an impact on the entire world like covid-19. It was a time of history. First in my lifetime I see the power house America with deserted busy roads and places.
Imo, I don't see any other black swan as big as covid-19.

Do they have a plan B accompanied with this thought? If an employee already planning to resign is because he/she have something better that awaits them.
Perhaps, the salary does not match up with the volume of work they handle. I think any reasonable company that understand the importance of IT in a company would not want this to happen.

86% is a huge number, basically almost all the IT guys wants to resign is definitely not a good sign,  the company's in question will face a huge problem if they neglecte this issue.
IT staffs you be among well paid staff in any organisation because of the nature of their job and it's importance.

What government really have too many free time to track your small transactions?
Except you are buying a huge volume of btc directly from the exchange. And why would you buy btc with cbdc when you can always do that through fiat.
Cbdc is not a thing yet and even if it eventually does it won't be shove down your throat,  I believe you will be given an option, so it is up to you to decide what to buy btc with.

How does such document came to the public view in the first place? Was it the SEC that made it available to public view or it was gotten through illegal means.
People do a lot of editing this days so it is hard to know it such kind of info from the Internet is genuine or not because you can't really tell where is original source.
I have heard some rumour in the past about sec being the creator of bitcoin, could this information contain some element of truth?

Let's be honest, how many investors of crypto that spend time reading the whitepaper or invest because of what is written on whitepaper?
If whitepaper was an important factor in the past I don't think it is anymore. What am saying is, WP is no longer a necessary factor to invest in a project,  with or without it, any serious team will deliver.
Lots of failed projects with flamboyant whitepaper,  if was the backbone of a project, they won't end up as failure.

I almost forgot that thing exist, I can understand why the op had to create this thread when he did because back then the altcoin section was filled with bitcoin cash post, the hype was so high then but now investors hardly take note of it.
It seems like popularity slowly fade away.

You can manage inflation as an individual to some extent but the general problem will persist if not handled from the top.
Increasing one's income is a good start if you are able, there are not many jobs lying around and the demand is high so in other to be able to increase one's income,  it requires more effort.
Cutting down expenses also helps but in most times you are living below your needs which can be frustrating.
Growing crops for personal consumption (even if not for commercial purpose) can be helpful if the land is available.

What caught my attention is the huge accumulation gap between 2019 vs 2022. It shows the interest to invest on btc has grown stronger despite high interest rate.

People are really accumulating btc in 2022 which could be a sign of what to expect in next bull run.
Some people don't see the importance of dca on their investment when the value is a lot lower than the point of buying, dca helps to average to reduce the value from high point to low or average.

Add beyond protocol to that list, I can't believe how that project fall from ath to -100%.
I lost the opportunity to join the bounty when it was launched here in the forum months back, I even had to put it on my watch list of potential project to invest on, am just glad I didn't before the ship got wrecked.

Terra ust same thing, I had plans to convert some of my assets to ust and stake to take advantage of that 20% they offer but mehn was I glad I hesitate a bit.
Hidden gems indeed  

Lol, are you for real? That's an absurd thing to considered. Just a few pump from xrp don't make it the best investment and especially not over btc. Remember btc is the one calling the shots, so this short term pump of xrp will remain short term, enjoy it while you can.
Reason why ripple has not fallen face flat is because of the centralized whales holding a chunk of it, otherwise there is no way ripple can stay in that position with all the lawsuit slammed on it from different angle.
