It seems that the price these days is largely dictated by miners that constantly sell coins and investors that hope for future profits.
I mean, we always had constant sell pressure because of miners. It's really not anything new. Are people even willing to still follow these idea or is bitcoin doomed to be a place for profit gamblers that will slowly loose its relevance?
I've seen a lot of similar statements from the 2018 bear. Look where we are now. |

Why is everyone wants to change some of the features on this forum?
Why aren't we happy with the current setup of the forum?
*snip*
My answer is that I am happy with the current bitcointalk forum and no changes are required.
Being "happy" with the current setup of the forum doesn't necessarily mean that nothing can be improved upon. If there was to change anything, theymos would have done it already. When the forum admin did not want any changes and think everything is perfect, why do we insist on the changes?
If Theymos didn't want to change anything, then he probably wouldn't have started the Epochtalk project. |

Don't you just hate it when they keep your funds held for 180 days and you're just so helpless about it since their customer service is horrendous. I even tried to resubmit my valid ID, and they did not respond back to me.
They held my funds for 180 days then after the 180 days they just straight up said they're taking my funds because of "damages" lmao. All I did was buy/sell videogame items; I didn't even receive a single cashback on all my transactions lol. |

I was too insecure to join, because I thought that at that time I still didn't have much knowledge, so I decided to stop at that time.
Bitcointalk is just a community forum where people talk bitcoin/crypto/security/privacy/etc. Not sure why people take it too seriously as you definitely don't need to. |

Interesting feature to have available for those who want to try it out. Knowing the massive tech giant that Binance is, I'd expect them to already have this option though — not sure what took them so long.

Faith,hope,unemotional analytics or the ability to see the future?  Pretty simple — I simply think that bitcoin is a great investment that could likely give me a good multiples in ROI sometime in the long-term future. That's pretty much it, besides things like having self-custody of my funds and stuff. |

My PayPal got banned for some random reason that they don't want to disclose, so I was pretty much stuck with using bitcoin for cross-border payments for when I was buying/selling videogame currencies. I then realized how important having a decentralized currency is.

Not what you ask but you can add either ;wap; wap2 ;imode at the end of URL link. It does not work for table but fine for texts. Those seems to be fine when you're only on Bitcointalk for viewing purposes though, as it seems like the QUOTE feature is missing on those 3 modes. |

What stands out to me, looking at these statistics is the fact that 85% of all value stored in Bitcoin is distributed among only 0.5% of addresses / owners.
That's an extreme imbalance of wealth. Nothing new or suprising but I think it's worth pointing out.
Why is it worth pointing out if it's expected though. Not to mention that bitcoin wasn't specifically created to fix wealth inequality, but to just give more opportunities to people who seek it. Also, take note that a sizeable amount of people store funds on exchanges(Coinbase/Binance), so the stats isn't that accurate if you're looking at it as distribution per person than per wallet address. |

Mobile App please
Doesn't even necessarily need to be an app. I just want better UI/UX for mobile. Heck, I'd be very happy even with just having a responsive UI alone. |

This is something I'd personally only do if I'm struggling and in dire need of money. I'd imagine most of their customers would be people in poorer countries.

What I'm wondering here is if there is a way for miners to hedge against shrinking margins? Do you think hedging strategies could help us stay solvent amid the bear market?
Either by running less mining hardware to decrease risk, or to have a well-thought-of and reasonably sized short position. Other than both, I think that's pretty much it. |

What do you people think about this? Out of 100% fund, what percentage can you advice a trader to use?
There's really no right answer to this — as it will totally depend on things like your risk appetite and the actual size of your bankroll. It's almost like asking what the right percentage to invest in crypto is. |

It is very true that if I do not own the private key/passphrase of my wallet then the balance or assets are not considered mine. Unfortunately I have cryptocurrency stored on my Binance exchange and so far I have not used the hardware wallet. But I have made a personal decision to hold my dollars in hardware wallets for years to come.
Don't be lazy and just purchase a hardware wallet as soon as possible. Though the rumours of Binance being insolvent is very likely to be false, do you really want to risk all of your funds? I'm sorry but that's just dumb and lazy. |

I just find it odd that there is no direct link on the forum page that takes you to their copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper. It wouldn't take too much effort to place a link at the bottom of the page (@PowerGlove where are you?  ) In my opinion — probably because it's unnecessary clutter and someone could easily Google it when wanted to. Not to mention that most technically-illiterate people are mostly better off reading articles than a whitepaper. ^Not totally against it though. Just unnecessary. |

Safe: just declare the payments and pay your taxes
Risky: don't declare and don't pay taxes, but could potentially be a problem for you in the future if they affiliated you with your wallet addresses and dug up your transaction history

My balance (BTC)
*removed*
Just a heads up: potentially risking yourself due to exposing your holdings aside — if you don't actively trade your bitcoin, it'd probably be the best idea to withdraw your funds to a reputable hardware wallet(Ledger/Trezor). https://cryptosec.info/exchange-hacks

2. Three Arrows Capital (3AC) Bankrupted on July 1, 2022, the main cause was due to the ownership of the LUNA token which collapsed with UST due to a massive sell-off. They owe an estimated $3.5 billion to 27 different companies including Blockchain.com, Voyager Digital, and Genesis Global Trading. The LUNA/UST meltdown was just one minor thing — they mostly became bankrupt when they were hilariously (and obviously carelessly) long Ethereum with too much leverage. |
