I am also curious too why he chose that number. Maybe it is some kind of easter egg or something? Aside from that I am also concern whether that rocket will explode or not and who would even risk treasure hunting in space even in the future? Who knows how large the space is and where will they even start looking for clues regarding the rocket if it happens it'll explode somewhere and let's just say the priv keys are stored safely on that aircraft.

His view towards things is really bizarre. Maybe this is just him feeding his inner childhood fulfilling his dreams or just something due to his inconsistent behavior. We really don't know what's on his mind.

That is a pretty good strategy coz mostly banks and custodial wallets offered by localities are sometimes asking you for your personal information, so in the end your privacy is still compromised. But that's only if you have a cold storage since for me, I didn't own one so I guess my personal info is still compromised even if I use mixers and there is a huge tendency that my account will be traced immediately doing something crazy like pretending to be anonymous or they will suspect my account doing illegal activities outside the platform.

To be honest, it is really hard to construct short and precise message or words without repeating some information presented while adding the fact that there are minimum numbers of character and words that is required for you to become a valid poster that isn't only good at adding flowery words. As I've said that it requires constant practice to voluntarily control your focus since those things cannot be achieved by being a nonchalant poster alone. We should also keep in mind that what we replied is something not only straight to the point but also relevant to the topic and also for others to engage with it or even a new knowledge you can add to it. Although this is irrelevant, this is mostly why in my free time I usually read books even fictional novels to expand my vocabulary and to increase knowledge about constructing sentences, coz whether I like it or not and even if English is our international language, I am not born from a native English-speaking country, so if I wanted to converse with anyone using general language which is English, I still needed to become more comprehensive. Replying isn't all about speaking English alone but also understanding the context of what you really are replying to, so far that's what I've learned here from staying on this platform.

Sa nakikita ko kasi sa ating bansa ngayon, nasa neutral stance lang sila when it comes to crypto, at hindi rin sila nagkulang sa mga paalala na dapat mag ingat parin. Siguro may mga kontra parin gaya nalang ni Atty Libayan in which some of his warnings ay may punto while kadalasan talaga ay kontra sya sa cryptocurrency in general, pero hindi ibig sabihin nyan na totally prohibited ang crypto dito sa pinas dahil pati na nga mga bangko dito satin ay dahan-dahan ng pinapakilala sa kanilang mga users ang tungkol sa crypto.

Kapag kasi pera na ang pinag-uusapan, mahalaga din na magkaroon ng sapat na kaalaman ang ating kapwa pilipino sa mga risks na kasama, dahil gaya na nga ng mga trending na pinagkakakitaan ng ating mga kabayan mapasugal man yan o vlog, ay napakarami nating mga kabayan na gustong pasukin ang mga ganyang gawain para lamang kumita. Hindi pa nga natin binibilang yung mga nag-oonline selling or yung mga affiliate marketers nating mga pinoy.

I have already heard this phrase ever since I learned crypto way back 2014. At that time I haven't entered this forum yet, but several other people are already talking about bitcoin is still on its early stages. There are various sources of information before from social media platforms to telegram groups. After so many years that passed it was still the same phrase that's being used, and yes it is true that bitcoin is still young. Nobody else believed that at first but seeing the records from the past few years I think people now would hesitate saying those words such as "bitcoin will end" or "there is no longer hope for bitcoin to rise". Words like "we saw the potential and possibilities of bitcoin" will be heard commonly from now on or even in the future.

In conclusion, it is never too late to invest in bitcoin and while some are still hesitating, others already grabbing the opportunity coz as always, no one knows when will be the next time it will rise again and what they hesitating for now will probably end up being a regret.

Hahahaha that's an interesting word to be added next to the dictionary  . Anyway, they kept using those words "economic growth" or something similar to lure people into saving more money or for them to actually sold out all those money like they are offering some kind of valuable treasure. They wanted people to think that more money means more influence. It is partially true that someone who has more money has more influence and more power over the other, that is when the term "greed" enters, since both parties wants the authority and influence, they will keep competing without thinking what trap they have fallen into. It just feels like a game that only those boss monsters are fighting while those low-level players (average income to low income) get affected and suffers tremendously.

Even if what I have said is just my own speculation, there's no need to see the proofs to notice what our society has become because of that competition, and I am sure that you guys have noticed that too.

Whoever the owner of the company doesn't matter to those who are verified since they also knew that even if the company fell somehow it has enough foundation built already to rise again. Besides, no owner would want their business to be destroyed not unless there's some personal issues involve, so changing owners from Elon to someone is not really a big deal to them, they're only hoping there would be changes to come and hopefully it is not someone who mess around like Elon did.

I don't know if it's intentional or not but as what I have seen on Elon's behavior, at first, he will let everyone mock him and then exceed their expectation after some time then brag about it for not believing him. He always does this even on his conference and such, but the main thing is that investing into him is like investing on his mood too. Yes, he is a genius it is undeniable fact, but the way his attitude towards things and his views which is very eccentric that most people find it hard to handle and understand. This kind of behavior is acceptable only if you are not the main command of something, but in his situation in which he is the owner of a credible company, people will hesitate to invest into this kind of inconsistency.

But the tendency of those people is that, a little spike on the prices in the market makes them panic. As what I have always told my friends who are buying bitcoin on their own leisure "stop looking all the time about the prices on the market specially your holdings", and "it is enough to look at it once in while to check for updates and to check whether your wallet provider has new updates or show the pop-up notification to make it easier for you to notice". I always told them that if they have nothing better to do, find something better to do. If you are an investor and you want your day to be more productive, find something that you can spend your time and energy or learn new knowledge related to that, coz aside from it distracts you from looking at your holdings, it will also hone your skills or even gain more opportunity to earn money whether you'll invest that money or spend it anywhere else.

Sometimes the trick to being patient about investing is "forget it, but not actually forgetting it".

That's true, as I've said couple of times here in this forum that AI right now is at an early stage in life. In short, it is still an infant when it comes to answering questions, since mostly the ideas they have gathered and filtered before answering are datas that are generally used in the public. Aside from that, I didn't really have problems on chatGPT so far since I'll only used those whenever I get lazy into researching something or helping my nieces into making a storybook. That is also why I depend on AI whenever I get lazy researching coz as I've said above, they filtered out unnecessary information which will take you longer on searching things on the web, but in terms of trading or making accurate decisions on the market? No, I don't fully trust AI on that, coz even if I'm only using it to filter the necessary ideas I want, there are still information that I didn't need that still slipped out on their filtering, so there are still possibilities that they might messed up.

This is something irrelevant but I've seen a quote from an anime saying "children who are born in war wouldn't know what is peace, while children who are born in peace wouldn't know what war is", in reality what you have said is right that your living environment can hugely affect a person's point of view toward things, along with traditions and norms you that is common in your are will be molded into you and would be forever with you. Though I've said that this is irrelevant, somehow we could see some reference in terms of economical situation in which, it will take a lot of courage for someone to escape poverty by putting his mind into it and actually doing the grinds for it, compared to rich people who could fall anytime. One slight mistake about disregarding financial management, it will cause a lot of problems for rich people but atleast they can recover that easily thanks for their spare assets. The poor? Not only they would consider changing the way they approach money, but the pressure of thinking one slight mistake would be the end of all is also along their lines.

Escaping ones poverty is never that easy, and I myself is a living witness on that. It is not that you wanted to be rich but a life that is worth living as an average earner is what most people want, who would hate that? Of course no one.

While being young also it is good to take advantage of your productivity since you have a lot of energy to spare, unlike when you get older, you get tired too easily and some things aren't just the same as to when you have the energy to do it. It is a good mindset that you are planning to save for investment for the sake of your future. Even me myself up until now is still saving as long as I can since we do not know what will happen in the future, even if we say there is someone who's ready to help you at any given moment. Nobody also knows what battle they will be fighting in the future same as you do. Problems can occur, but it is much better if you have enough preparations so that even if something doesn't go according to your plan in terms of financial management, you won't be having a hard time or at the very least the burden will lessen.

Regular people are getting wiser on their financial management day by day. For sure they have realized that dollar is getting weaker and most of the basic needs are getting expensive. In the years that will come, their savings will be worth nothing if they'll let it sit there and rot. I don't knoe much about other countries but I am sure that those people who dump their dollars are planning ahead for their retirement, before they'd have limited options to only savings in the bank, but now that there are lots of access and information you can get through internet and web, they can expand their options to so many choices now.

Same concept as to how people say that money is the root of all evil. A tool is a tool no matter how much you value or view that, it doesn't change the fact that it depends on the one using it to be able to call it something good or evil. Just because the government cannot hold its authority over it, we should just call it illegal or bad? Of course not, right? I do agree that people have different intentions and perspective, that is why it is possible that a certain tool can be used into something horrible. In regards of bitcoin or any other currencies whether they are centralized or not, crimes that are happening is already pretty common, and government doesn't have the rights to stop someone from using that, instead they can prohibit the usage since they are the ones controlling the law and rules on that country. Imagine them chasing and criticizing cryptocurrencies while right under their noses, corruption, smuggling and so many illegal activities happened in a broad daylight and at the same time using their own centralized currency.

That is exactly right. IMO, if you are responding and contributing into the discussion, that is not considered as a spam, not unless you jump from topic-to-topic writing whatever comes into your mind without a care just to compose/construct sentences to reach the minimum words of 150 is most probably considered a burst posting. Just like you do too, I am also someone who can keep up with several subjects at the same time, maybe it is called multi-tasking or so, but regardless of that, it is something that needs constant practice and requires you to voluntarily control your focus so that you won't mixed up all your replies.

I feel bad for you there. We know that there are people experiencing different days in their lives, some are good while others are bad. and adding the pranks is somehow making your day worse than currently it is. Just like what happened to me the last week on that "suspected a spammer" prank, I actually review all my posts to see if I really did spam or maybe someone mistook and tagged me. All sorts of bad scenarios are already forming in my mind, not until I saw that most of the members who have green trusts are also tagged by it, I sighed in relief after that although my mood isn't good that day due to personal reasons, I promised to myself that day that I would beat this game just to let go what I felt, coz to be honest I really thought it was already over for my account. Even after knowing that it was all a prank after scouring some sections on this forum before going to the meta boards, my dismay and my willingness to remove the tag was even more serious than before knowing it was a prank.

That is why I have said on the main thread on last week's prank that, I will show @theymos that I can play along on his pranks and prove that I can beat that game . I somehow missed the game to be honest.

If someone has a bitcoin on his wallet and is holding it quite some time now and doesn't plan on selling it immediately, then he is considered one. No need to over complicate things as to what truly the definition on that. In terms of investing, we do know that there are several assets that can be considered investment not only bitcoin, and for sure we are all aware that buying bitcoin isn't something close to investing but more in gambling due to its high volatility. Yes, it's partially true that every market crashes down in any given moment, but bitcoin's market can go up or down in a blink of an eye. Investing is no different in saving, but in a way in which you bought something that over time the value increases.

Ika nga ng iba "its dark under the lamp", at dahil na nga ang focus ng pamahalaan ay hulihin ang mga may ginagawang krimen, hindi nila namamalayan na nasa broad daylight lang pala ang napakaraming krimen na nagaganap instead na yung mga nagtatago. Iniisip din kasi kadalasan ng mga tao na mostly yung involved sa mga transaksyon na walang namamahala ay puro ilegal ang nagaganap, at hinahayaan lang nila ang mga scams na nagaganap sa mga may nagmamanaged na e-commerce businesses.

Agree ako sa sinabi mong magandang magkaroon ng ganyang model ng transaction method, ang ikinababahala ko lang ay yung paglalaro ng monopolya ng pamahalaan, dahil papayag ba sila kung hindi sila ang magiging tagapamahala sa ganyang uri ng transaksyon? Panigurado ay masi-set sila ng kanilang standard siyempre in favor sa kanila at dahil nga may standards, iilan lang ang kwalipikado na hindi related sa pamahalaan. Ang masaklap pa nga ay kung makakapasok ba yung hindi nila kasamahan. Paniguradong magiging pulitika din ang kalalabasan at yung mga pribadong kompanya at malalaking korporasyon ang unang makikinabang nyan.

It all ends up that government doesn't want their authorities to be threatened. IMO, my statement may be worth a cent, but somehow the reality we saw today is closely similar to what I said about being threatened. We've already heard some reasons why government is wary and don't want to recognize bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and I'm pretty sure that it is already common for you guys to hear this "they want to monopolize everything" statement. While they wanted to seize bitcoin but couldn't, instead of taking over it, they'd just make use of their authority to prevent people using that. So where does it end? people will still follow the rules or else they will be punished.

Just like the situation of the OP, our country too doesn't have clear stand to what bitcoin and cryptocurrency is. In short, they are neutral, but they didn't forget to warn us about the risks, but still in the end on my personal experience, slowly bitcoin in our country became like any other foreign currencies that we need to be taxed upon since it is quite hard to withdraw bitcoin anywhere without revealing you are a user of such currency. In conclusion the importance of FIAT here in our country is the same level as bitcoin since both of them couldn't exist without the other same even if you will do the opposite as to buy bitcoin you will still need that fiat.

Just like how humans created sharp objects like knives to aid them on hunting, cooking and even building their homes, yet after conflicts happened in different tribes, it was used to become a deadly weapon to aid them during those times. There is no difference in whatever was created for the purpose of improving one's life, there will always be other side of every good story, and this why it has to be expected that there will be people being wary about this development due to what happened so far in our history.

We cannot deny that AI will significantly improve our life specially in technology, but what people really is afraid of isn't something significant such as misused of technology, but the things about losing their jobs due to the replacement of much more efficient(debatable) and unlimited worker which is the robots powered by AI. We've already seen so many sci-fi movies to know the possibilities of such technology, and what they are only fantasizing on the screen is closely approaching to them and somehow, they felt like being threatened for their survival or being robbed of opportunity.
