That's the thought that I've got before which I've seen from the others that they've said that they'll take altcoin because of the quantity that you'll get.
Because getting a bitcoin is more expensive and you'll just get a few decimals on it. I get where they're taking those words but it doesn't make sense, it's still bitcoin as the most recommended crypto to own. It's like comparing and saying that people will take bronze because it's cheaper than gold.
2362  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wrapped BTC depegged from BTC on: November 27, 2022, 09:22:30 PM
So it depegged, and no one is taking advantage,

Seems to me,
The smart traders would unwrap the WBTC and receive the BTC,
then sell the BTC , pocket the profit and then purchase WBTC, and repeat making a profit on the difference with every trade.  Cheesy

Guess there are no smart traders anymore. Cool
There could be smart traders that can see the opportunity on this but majority of us in here won't look at it when it's started to depegged. If you know how to capitalize and make money from this situation then that's good for you.

I don't want to be optimistic but Wrapped BTC has a much better stance than some highly liquid stablecoins and some digital exchanges.
The binding ratio is supposed to be 1:1, and therefore this is not supposed to happen, but the difference is not large and it can be subverted.
The most important thing is that the difference does not last for a long time, otherwise it is an indication of manipulation.
You're right and it's no surprise that it's got a high ranking in the market because of it being highly liquid. The difference of its price from an actual btc isn't that much but with the turning of events from projects to exchanges. I think it's note worthy to have that reminder for those that have been keeping it on this chain rather than the actual bitcoin.

Just think a little longer because you are proving that the only lazy person is you. You have to have WBTC to:

1- trade BTC without CEX
2- do arbitrage trades between ETH DEXes and every possible CEX
3- do marketmaking and provide liquidity (collect yelld) on uniswap and other dexes

So far there is no decentralized, effectiv, quick and safe way of trading bitcoin and provide liquidity to others without using centralized solutions.
Yeah, those are essentials for having wbtc to do things but what I'm trying to say if someone is keeping this just as how we keep bitcoin. Then, it's price might not be par entirely with it sometime in the future and just as the collapsing of many things these days that are in the crypto sphere, we don't that to happen to our funds that we've worked and collected hardly.

-cut-
Why should someone need to buy WBTC if you can buy BTC with the same price?
-cut-
I am not sure if this real question, but obviously because people want to use decentralized exchanged to trade it. People who are asking why anyone should use CEX could be asking you that question instead. It was a way to trade cryptos with different blockchains against each other. There's really no perfect system for doing that, as every way has their own downsides.
There are good points about having it, it's like a gateway for you to trade on different decentralized exchanges and do your strategies there. But looking at what's with it right now, although it's not that really much at all. Still, big things like those collapses came from the little holes that has been probably seen and said before.

I hope so but it seems like people will never learn from the old cases that already happened with various platforms and tokens.
Exactly. I think everyone is aware of the things that has come into the market lately. As long as you know what you're doing, and is prepared to any sudden turn of events, you're all good.

As for the de-pegged, if it will continue then for sure going to be very bad for us.

But if this is just for a short period and then they start to pour again to hit 1:1 then good. But we need to be very cautious and careful about WBTC, in my opinion.
I can't agree more. Just be cautious and be aware and it's not yet that much as of now but we don't know if this is going to be bigger soon when it continuous to depeg.

I think these celebrities that endorses scams and potential projects that will turn into a nightmare don't do they research. It's like that they've been given a figure and they're in awe with that amount so they accept the job offer for endorsing those projects.
There's certainly wrong with those celebrities that have made it with those advertisements that later on turned into false projects. While these scammers capitalizes them by just feeding them with an amount that they won't refuse, these lawsuits that have been filed for the first ones will serve as a warning for those that might also take the same path.

2365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: November 26, 2022, 10:18:39 PM
I fully agree, the name DK Yoo has been put to the map of known people after Manny accepted his deal of an exhibition fight.  But regardless it is always good to know that Yoo agrees to some of the proceedings of the fight be given to the charity.
I don't know him and when this match has shown that they'll be fighting for a charity cause. Then, that's where his name shined. Became a good name because of the cause and at the same time, people now have known him because he's going to be up against Manny Pacquiao. I'm looking for some websites to know how much the tickets would be. Does anyone know where the tickets are up for sale and how much the tickets will be?

Same here, I haven't heard the name DK Yoo until the announcement of the exhibition fight against Manny Pacquiao.  I think DK Yoo got a jackpot when Manny accepted the deal to fight him in an exhibition match because many people will look into his profile.  It is also a good advertisement and exposure for his social media channel. 
He really a jackpot when he's going to have an exhibition match against Pacquiao and note that it's for a charity cause. Too many professional fighters are wanting to fight him because they can easily excel with their boxing career whether they win or lose against him.
It is that whoever matches Pacquiao, there's for sure another opportunity that will come as long as they're not yet retired. It's certainly a big boost for DK.

About the ticket price, I also looked at the internet but I can't find any information.
We're about to enter December but I guess they're making it a private ticket sales that will only be available in South Korea.

2367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MetaMask Tracking IP Address on: November 26, 2022, 11:35:35 AM
It's not a problem these days as most websites where you're logging in or even as a guest, it's all recorded. You can't skip the process because all of them collects our data.
And expect soon that even those decentralized platforms or any type of website that claims that they're not collecting your data or IP address, they'll soon change their terms and will say the same thing.
Not a big deal I guess since most of the site today secretly collects our IP address and that is for some reason. The only concern here is that, if you are using the same IP address with your other metamask wallet, if that is not the issue then I guess we should not panic. Collecting IP address to fight any suspicious transactions can be a big help, most probably this will serve for that purpose.
Yes, no longer a big deal but what's alarming when these apps and websites exposes our IPs and sells it to advertisers. They've got our logs and patterns.
Well, this has been happening with Facebook and Google to name a few. Whenever you say something and you're with your phone, you'll notice that there's the appearance of that product eventually on your profile or news feed that you've just spoken because they're keeping our data that includes IP.
2368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wrapped BTC depegged from BTC on: November 26, 2022, 10:18:41 AM
Ok so we take notice of another de-pegged, ouch, I do hope that the market will not be that affected by this news, otherwise, everyone is still nervous because of what the FTX collapse did bring to us.

And there are news that the depeg has something to do with Alameda Research?

https://coingape.com/wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc-depeg-linked-to-alameda-research-fud-or-truth/
I'm not sure about the source of the depegging but it seems there has something to do with that. Likely a real thing or another FUD that has been made but nevertheless, people shouldn't be stacking wbtc but btc.

The main reason must be coming from this guy on twitter https://twitter.com/DU09BTC/status/1596188005592891392

Another FUD was coming to the WBTC and claimed that alameda research has been minting lots of WBTC and that makes people are feeling panic then started to dump their BTC. it can be said that if this time WBTC has been getting depegged caused by there are more people selling in the market rather than buying it and so liquidity may got drainer very soon.
Whether it has or has nothing to do with FTX or Alameda. People should just learn to bail out in wbtc because it's not the real bitcoin. There has to be the understanding of many people these days that they need to be wiser around when exchanges are biting the dust and so as other projects and wbtc could be the next thing, not spreading FUD but awareness.

WBTC isn't a real BTC and there's no guarantee if WBTC price always pegged with real BTC price. More importantly WBTC is a centralized shitcoin and can be controlled by the developer, it's really ruin the purpose and aims of a real Bitcoin. Why should someone need to buy WBTC if you can buy BTC with the same price? right now Bitcoin fees is cheap too since the mempool is currently empty, the fees is just less than $1.
True, I don't get it why they have to make wrapped bitcoin. I've got no issues if they'll make wrapped ethereum and other altcoins but, they've just find a way to print money out of nothing by doing this. There's also the renbtc, it might still be inline and pegged to btc but who knows until when?

more reason not to buy it and avoid it because the price isn't backed by anything it can crash and you lose your btc. People should already learned that these wrapped tokens aren't safe
I agree but we don't understand why there are still people that will choose to hold it from the actual and real bitcoin. I guess it's just all about laziness and they're confident that nothing will happen and won't collapse.
2369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wrapped BTC depegged from BTC on: November 25, 2022, 09:34:25 PM
I didn't even noticed. I was looking for a possible reason for the depegging and saw a comment on Reddit claiming it was because the WBTC on Ethereum bridge were stolen. That caused some panic selling and so the drop. I can't verify the information right now so just do some digging if you want https://www.reddit.com/r/harmony_one/comments/oiz1uj/comment/ixgqrz3/
Thanks for that additional link and for the reason. Usually, projects that are smart contracts and is just sitting on another chain can easily be manipulated by whoever has made it. It took a long time before this has been depegged and just like the crash of UST, this could be continuous.
I'm not wishing ill those that are holding wbtc but it's not the real bitcoin. They better buy the actual bitcoin and hold it as is and not with a smart contract that could be badly dumped by whoever has made it. I just looked at the pricing again and its still around value and price of its DE pegging.

Thanks for this link, in any case though, if this is true then the effect from those investors or those who think that everything could be pegged on USD or BTC might be wrong. I'm not into this Wrapped BTC though, so personally I'm not affected.

But with the FTX collapse still hugging the limelight and the investors are still at the edge, this news might put some dent not just on the project itself, but for the whole crypto. So it's very important for them to bring it 1:1 again or at least very close to the price of BTC.
I'm not also affected by this but everyone who's started to notice it has also shared so that before anything happens big, they could their assets from its possible collapse.
Bringing it back to 1:1 can be done by its community naturally but if it's the opposite that's being done by major holders of it, then we might not see it again par to bitcoin's price.
2370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Wrapped BTC depegged from BTC on: November 25, 2022, 04:03:51 PM
I saw this post made by Trading View that Wrapped BTC(WBTC) has been depegged to bitcoin for 14 straight days. To those that are into WBTC, you may take this chart as a potential warning.

https://www.facebook.com/tradingview/photos/a.802024629816535/5993085974043682/

And after looking at this chart, I've compared from a few sources, cmc and coingecko for its price. So for those who don't know it yet, wrapped bitcoin is like USDT that's tied and pegged to dollars while wrapped bitcoin is tied and pegged to bitcoin's price.

But look at the difference of WBTC which should be pegged to bitcoin's price. I know that there's a difference for different source of market prices. And with these two sources, coinmarketcap and coingecko, looking at both wbtc and btc that proves that it's not tied or pegged to btc's price anymore.


[Two images at top from coinmarketcap.com]
[Two images at the bottom from coingecko.com]

With the bear market and things happening to exchanges and projects, it's possible that this (WBTC) could be the next to bite the dust.

REMINDER: WBTC IS NOT A REAL BITCOIN.

I agree, it won't be forgotten as that was Pacquiao's prime and if you will watch the replay, you will see that Pacquiao was in the winning side before that lucky punch who send him down, a great exchanges of solid punches and many believe that it was Pacquiao who will win the fight but upset always happen during an actual fight.

And that's how Marquez ended the fight, coming from a losing momentum which gave him the inspiration for that last chance.

it was a success final solid punch that send Pacquiao to the canvass and make the fight a never been forgotten part of the history of these two rival legends.
It's one of the best and unforgettable fight. And we got to see rematches from these two, but this won't happen anymore.

I think that was the right thing to do for Manny, be aggressive, but that last second attempt was unnecessary which unfortunately a perfect counter from Marquez put him to sleep.
Manny was indeed winning that match, I don't say he became careless, who knows he might have seen an opening too as Marquez was a bit dazzled after he got knocked down.
That, might be Marquez 's greatest win of all time.
We have different thoughts on that situation. For me and the rest, we think that it's better for him to assess the situation and be passive-aggressive during that time so that he's aware that a lucky punch might come.

It was really an epic win for Juan Manuel Marquez, and it will be added to history as one of the great revenge for Juan Manuel Marquez on the Boxing legend Manny Pacquaio, surely many will not forget that iconic drop of Manny where many have made some meme's about it like this one here



I know this is Manny Pacquaio we are talking about but it already happened he already lost badly to Juan Manuel Marquez and producing funny memes like this is surely hilarious, but let's wait for the new generation of boxer to put up to the challenge if they can attain the status just like Manny did,
I don't think that there will be someone who will attain the same achievements as Pacquiao. He's a beast and a dedicated boxer to his craft, the passion is there. But who knows if someone comes out with the same passion and dedication of what he's achieved.
2373  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: JP Morgan chase is now official as a trademark for crypto wallet (Morgan Wallet) on: November 25, 2022, 11:20:15 AM
This will be exactly like Robinhood or the Revolut example you gave. Just another shady, immoral, and often illegal third party offering worthless IOUs.
Something like what PayPal was dong in the beginning when everyone was reporting that PayPal allowed its users to purchase bitcoin. They were in fact purchasing IOUs they never got their hands on and which couldn't be withdrawn to proper wallets outside of the PayPal platform. I think in the meantime they changed things around and are now also allowing withdrawing BTC to 3rd-party wallets. Maybe JP Morgan will do something similar. But what I am saying is in no way support for either of the two brands.   
True, there are other exchanges IIRC like etoro has done the same when there's no withdrawal for the actual btc and other crypto that they have. It's like the users are only playing with numbers but in reality, they don't hold anything but only see the projections on how much they own inside the platform. They got no keys but only usernames and passwords plus the numbers that they believe they really own it but unable to withdraw. On this case with JP Morgan, that "trademark" that's being hyped by the media is likely what they're capitalizing for them to have more users trust them with their crypto.
2374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi likes Pokemon and possibly where the pseudonymous is derived from on: November 24, 2022, 11:35:34 PM
It really amaze me on how human mind can create lots of possibilities.  The imagination of people especially those who bored and has nothing to do is quite astonishing.  Imagine, from the given link above, how people connect a pokemon card to Bitcoin, I wonder how they decipher the messages on that card connecting it to Bitcoin Roll Eyes
Well, when I've watched the episode and as a bitcoin folk, it made me thought about it as we know satoshi only by his name and with all of those theories and conspiracies. It's got into my mind. That's it's a probably and a theory.

Seriously though, we don't see any connection whatsoever about Pokemon and Satoshi and bitcoin.
I just thought of the name and until Welsh have said that it's a common name, that ticked my mind and did my research as well and saw that it's a common name in Japan. I don't know about that since I'm not a japanese.

This has been talked about before and was considered a big possibility. I mean pokemon may have been a kiddie thing when it first started, but Satoshi could be a young person when pokemon first started as well. I am not saying he would be a 5 year old, that would make him 30 right now and under 20 when he created bitcoin which is a possibility but unlikely.

But, even if he is literally 50-60 year old guy, nearly 30 years ago means he was in his 30's and that is not an old age to watch anime (I should know lol) which is why it’s totally a possibility. Also let’s remember, he didn't had to pick that name right away, he has been working on stuff like this since 90's so it means he would be picking the name a lot earlier when pokemon was even more popular.
That's it, it made me outright thought of it so quick just because I saw his name and surprisingly as someone who's been watching this anime when I was younger. I have never thought that his japanese name is satoshi thus, satoshi, the real one might have just picked this name as we don't know what's his real nationality.

@OP having a subtitled name Satoshi doesn't necessarily mean it is Satoshi Nakamoto and has a connection to Bitcoin.  The Wikipedia link shown by @suzanne5223  clearly stated who that Satoshi is.
Yes, I know that and I've only seen a reference without Ash Ketchum's japanese version of surname but only name, satoshi. It's on the original post that I've made. I'm not saying that there's direct connection to bitcoin and pokemon but satoshi and the probable reference where it's taken as a pseudonymous.

According to our wiki, "Satoshi" means wisdom or reason, and "Nakamoto" central source. He might had picked those words for a purpose, to imply that bitcoin is detached from central points, perhaps? I kinda doubt he used a pseudo-name generator, as he was likely cautious and purposeful with the whole concept from the very beginning.
Amazing. So it's like a central source of wisdom/reasoning? He's certainly a genuine genuis guy.

What I can say is that it's hard to understand the real scenario of Bitcoin and how the name of Satoshi Nakamoto was developed if we're not part of the team that does it. However, from what Theymos once said Bitcoin was run in a community-driven way and the name Satoshi Nakamoto created some of the teams that were working on BTC at the early stage.
Technically, the name was not provided by Satoshi himself.
Wow, thanks! so in theory that in lines with the other theories that I've read, it's "they".

-snip-
I've known that joke as well but that's hell of reference for entertainment just like what I've thought about watching the highlight and seen in the subtitle when satoshi's name appeared.

Wish you had developed some sort of conspiracy with strong arguments trying to prove what you are saying.  Like finding some Pokemon references in the Whitepaper or in Satoshi's posts.  Otherwise, this is pure and vague speculation.  Make it more entertaining and this might become one of the biggest Satoshi conspiracies!

Seriously though.  Satoshi is just Satoshi.  Considering it remains one of the biggest anonymous personalities in history, chances are their real name was not Satoshi Nakamoto nor were they Japanese.  And since he never wanted to disclose his identity in any kind of way, it is unlikely he chose this name because he loves Pokemon.  I for one would not link my anonymous personality to my passions and obsessions.  Except for privacy, which I am going to talk about on the forum all day long anyway.

Satoshi knew what he was doing very well and calculated each and every step of theirs precisely.

-
Regards,
PrivacyG
Exactly, it's just a referred name probably by the team or himself elsewhere to make it more confusing and put that attention that they or he's a japanese. On the latter of what you said, it's true that's why we all admire him and every thought that an individual like me hits it whenever there's something that "might" be close and related to him as a speculation by a mere person like me.

This could be a kiddy stuff for most but what do you think?    

It could be fun topic for casual discussion. But honestly i'll just refer to this answer https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/83891 when people talking about possible meaning/source of "Satoshi Nakamoto" in Japanese.
Thanks! This discussion has given me more information about the references and more detailed ones for those explanations that have been shared.

I don't think it is related to that. Satoshi is a common masculine name in Japanese if I'm not mistaken, but they have different meaning, depends on the character you are going to use when writing the name. Satoshi Nakamoto could mean the exact same thing that google says;

It doesn't mean they mentioned satoshi they really know him, Satoshi is japanese name so most provably there are so many individual people was named on that word and its common name on japan so there's not surprising if a TV show will mention the name Satoshi since its not a coincidence to happen in TV programs. It will be different if they mention about bitcoin and its creator since for sure they are pointing him on that accurately.
Yes, that is and there's more that. That's what I've known after realizing the first reply on this thread and made me googled it asap and saw the meaning of it.

we are in the field of pure speculation.
 it is possible that his name has this origin but I find it rather unlikely for several reasons... Otherwise we dont know of he was really japanese ... Roll Eyes
I don't think we'll ever know why he chose this name, he's one of those mysteries that will probably stay with us for life Sad
That's the guarantee that we got. We'll never know who actually he is or they are. A mystery that will never solved unless someone or a group appears with strong evidence to claim that they're or he's satoshi.

There are a lot of theories about why someone chose the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto", but I have to admit that I can't remember anyone connecting him with Pokemon. Each possibility has some chance of being correct, although in many discussions it has already been concluded that the name Satoshi is very common in Japan, and once in some reports from the Second World War I found a person whose name was exactly that.

Very interesting conspiracy theories can be constructed from some of the meanings of those words.

The Japanese term satoshi has many meanings. Among some other things, Satoshi means "enlightened", "wise" or "intelligent". And last, but not least, Nakamoto means something like "middle", "base", "root" or "central". This would make Satoshi Nakamoto the “Central Intelligence” Smiley
Truth to that and the one that I've researched after realizing things after making this discussion is about the masculine thing and then added more from the other contributors of the forum about the other meanings of it and I liked the most about being the central source of wisdom.

Well, in the world of many twists and turns, the possibility that the name Satoshi can be derived from Pokemon can really be there. Having said that, I think this is just another theory among many candidates and nobody can be sure which is the fact unless the real Satoshi Nakamoto will surface and will shed light to everything related to him, the blockchain and Bitcoin. For entertainment purposes though to pique our interest, maybe this pass well. Now, let's assume that the name was taken from Pokemon character...so what's next?
Just another speculation that has just been thought by a playful mind and far from any other better resources that we've got on this thread.  Smiley

So, in theory, is it possible that Satoshi Nakamoto got the alias from Ash Ketchum in original japanese name of the protagonist and watched the series and derived that first name and just added the surname Nakamoto from somewhere else as reference too?

Possibly, or also any of these people with the name Satoshi:

~snip~

or any of these fictional characters:

~snip~
'twas too late for me to realize that it was a common name there.


Btw, happy thanksgiving to everyone.
2375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throwback: Bitcoin was $64k today, a year ago. on: November 24, 2022, 10:16:10 PM
And until now I still regretted of not holding on to Bitcoin during the long bear market. I decided to sell it until a few weeks later it shoots up to $20k, $30k, $50k, $60k and so on.

I blame myself for being hesistant in buying BTC with my extra “not beer money”.

Right now, I am at a loss despite doing DCA with Bitcoin. But I’ll keep hanging on coz’ I know one day it would definitely bounce back despite the uncertain timeline. Maybe after the next halving, but no guarantees or promises at all.
I feel you brother! But don't you worry, everything's going to be fine again soon. And as you DCA, keep doing it and don't lose hope because you're doing the right thing at this time. You may have lost that opportunity from the last bull run, there's still going to be the next bull that we'll see a few years from now. There's no guarantee but we all know how cycle works and we've seen it happen before and there's a bigger chance and possibility that it will.

Bitcoin actually reached $69,000 last year. I remember it miraculously reached that price when it was claimed that our chance of getting paid for doing some work depends on price reaching $69,000—70,000. The price eventually got to the level soon and people were happy even though the price increase was attributed to someone else instead of the ONE who made it possible.
Yes, the ATH was $69k and the $64k was just a way of it. But those tasks that were paid in dollars, they're converted into bitcoin and they got lesser because of the high price during that time.
Is that someone else you're talking about is Elon Musk? Or there's someone that has been attributed with that price increase and ATH?

It's actually a win for Pacquiao back then but he was so careless and didn't think lightly during that time. He's about to win that match but suddenly, he became so aggressive, and Marquez saw an opening. And the sad truth between these two great fighters of our time, we will never see them again to have fight against each other.
That win from Juan Manuel Marquez was not a fluke he have seen a clear opening and taking it was a risk but he still takes it because he is much losing to Manny Pacquiao at that time, it was a do-or-die thing for him, I was really shocked and I think many Filipino was really shock in utter dis-belief in seen their iconic hero face down the canvas, not moving at all, and many didn't really think it could be a win for Juan Manuel Marquez, that day but still, it has marked history in boxing that anything is really possible even though they have thought that Manny Pacquiao could win this it is really possible that something like this could happen,
The world was shocked with that counter and outcome of the match. When Pacquiao was owning him and leading in the perspective of many, that didn't do well when Marquez was able to see an opening and got lucky successfully by doing that punch.
It's one of the biggest match in the history of these two boxing legends that will never be forgotten. It's carved and will always be talked about when people starts talking about the greatest matches of this era.

It is a day to remember every year, because for users who have the confused mind whether bitcoin will reach new ath or not can get answer. Almost an year and a month passed, the present price of bitcoin is one fifth of the ath. No matter what the market movement is, 1BTC=1BTC. So, all that required is the patience and the understanding about the market to experience the same.
Yes, the equivalence of bitcoin remains to be there. And when someone is feeling down with the market, they can just go back to a thread like this or any other thread that's showing how huge the market has went already. If it's not for the cycle and pattern that has been shown, many won't be optimistic as we are because we know that the same thing will just happen and repeat.

Well, just a reminder that it's been one year that has passed and there's going to be more to go and hopefully, we go back to that former price and even higher soon as we know a few years from now, halving is about to come.
How time indeed flies, right here and now, it's still feel like it was yesterday that bitcoin reached this all time high.
And it is unfortunate for those who bought at this top, most especially for those who wanted some quick profit and never intended to hold for long, they had (and for those that haven't sold) still have the option to either sell at a loss or keep holding waiting for the next break which will put bitcoin back to this price and above.

Halving is coming for sure, but my question is, has halving become the major and only  catalyst to bitcoins boom? Does it mean that we will have to wait for every 4 years to experience a new all time high and what is the guarantee that this is going to continue for as long as bitcoin continue to exist?...
Sadly, those that have bought at the top has to keep until it goes back there but those that have no chill and lost their patience, they've probably sold at loss already. About your question with halving, well, it's a sure boost to bitcoin's price because on how it cuts the reward for the miners, we're just going to look at the part of its lesser supply but higher demand. It's really the main factor of why the price of bitcoin goes up, it's been recorded if we start looking at those numbers in the past up to this time.
2378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi likes Pokemon and possibly where the pseudonymous is derived from on: November 24, 2022, 10:02:54 AM
Since the episodes are on Youtube, is it possible that the subtitles are just wrong?
Yes, it's possible that the other translations are wrong but I've looked for other videos and they're telling the same name for Ash in Japanese version, Satoshi.

It's also very possible that Satoshi is meaningless. Now, that's probably not the case since humans of creatures of habit, and we usually has a bias when choosing names, passwords, and all that. So, quite possibly it was to do with Pokemon, but just because there's somewhat of a correlation, doesn't mean that's the case. I'm not familiar with Pokemon enough to verify your claims, but if that is the case I imagine that "Satoshi" is quite a popular name in Japan. Since, Ashley is a fairly popular name.
I think you're right that it's a popular name in Japan with regards to masculine for men. But I've just thought of it that maybe there's a relation to it since it's a popular anime ever since.

Also, I think Pokemon probably has more adult followers than kids these days due to its age.
True, after more than 2 decades, most of its fans and followers have grown up.

They don't care about bitcoin. They don't care about you. They only care about getting left behind and not making profits.
Truth be told, no other intention but to make money for the benefit of their company.

But it's still up to the people if they'll trust them or not.
If someone still trusts any centralized exchange after the events of the past 4 or 5 months, then either they haven't looked at a single piece of crypto-related news or media in that time, or they are a moron. Sorry, but there is no other way to look at it. Centralized exchanges all fall somewhere between "completely untrustworthy" and "an outright scam".
Most likely they don't care what the news are all about, they lean on the idea that their funds are on a "reputable exchange" after all. And that's why they still trust them to keep their money there. But, soon, they'll learn the biggest lessons of their lives if they don't listen to people warning them about taking it out before another big scene and event has been made by another centralized exchange or company.
