Satoshi knew that fiat was a bullsh*t system which is why he created bitcoin in the first place. Gold is the only true store of value, and bitcoin is digital gold. No idea what fiat is..

My bitcoin investment is keeping the dream alive. The higher it goes the closer i can get to economic freedom and not have to rely on a full time job to get by

The virus is spreading Keep it up everyone, the more use it gets the more people believe in it. Bitcoin is going to be the next global currency and will overtake both gold and the US dollar. Better stock up now while the prices are still reasonably.

It's only worth giving KYC for peanuts money if you already have a fake ID that you give out for these scammy offers. No point giving a real ID unless it is for something truly legit like a gemini account. People who do that will just find their passports for sale on the dark web

Timing is everything, buying when the market is low will make you rich in the future. It's too bad that only a few people follow this advice, while the majority will wait until the market has already pumped before investing their money.

Is it possible that these wallets belong to the exchange itself? It's hard to believe that whales would leave that much btc on an exchange rather than a cold storage wallet

The other important thing to remember is that you shouldn't invest all your bitcoin in an ico that hasn't been vigorously tested. Check the whitepaper and live media presentations before any commitments

Even if they ban mining the chinese conglomerates are so big they can make deals with other countries and move their operations there. The central asia region springs to mind as they are rich in resources

If they're looking at a highly varied portfolio then timing is everything. A large purchase in bitcoin would be enough to lift all the other coins. Unless the large buy order was placed before hand at a price high enough to not trigger any immediate movement

The risk is on the lender more than the bank, after delivering the coins there isn't much of a chance of getting them back unless legally secured against a valuable asset

You should probably redo the signatures as it points to an old thread if you click on the bitcointalk icon. Or you should update the previous thread and point it to the new one. Luckily it's a new signature campaign so there's only a few of us needing to update it

Mildly bullish is a bit of an understatement. It has risen a lot this past week and managed to push itself into the recovery zone. A break back to the $6500 stable levels will guarantee it's survival and it can take a new status i.e 'recovered'.

The problem with bitcoin is that it is too complicated for technophobes. They prefer to visit a bank and do things over the counter. What bitcoin needs is a counter service from a trustworthy bitcoin bank - no one mention mt gox!

The highs of 20k are still fresh in the minds of many people so the pump now will be quicker than before. It's when it goes back to the ATH that we will see a ceiling that is hard to break

When people lose faith in governments and people they will switch to software and algorithms. Bitcoin cannot be controlled by incompetent governments, and will therefore be a safehaven (as will monero) 😉

All new exchanges will have to create major incentives to prise people away from binance, huobi, and other major exchanges. An ico will not deliver enough funds so this person has to have a lot of money up front

Bitcoin will certainly give us financial freedom because there are no good alternatives. The united nations aren't going to make a global currency that is decentralised and accepted by all. Bitcoin is the only choice

It is the people who suffer rather than the rich government folk and their shady deals. They will resist bitcoin as much as possible so the people need to push it forward and begin global acceptance

Sounds like a great plan. You would think that all these market manipulators would have been doing these tricks by now. The problem is that a coordinated buy order across the exchanges is not easy to execute and delays will be costly

It's only worth doing KYC for good bounties and for signing up on good quality exchanges like coinbase. Otherwise, giving up your ID for a few pennies is not worth the risk, considering they can sell it on the black market to drug dealers or worse
