Let's just put it that way that there is the worry that the government will be worried about its people dealing with scams and that's why they're trying to give notice and warning to its citizen. But in no way that they will be jealous or envious to your BTC holdings and posessions. Maybe someone from your relative is gonna have more chance of envying you than them. The decentralization that Bitcoin has is what in no way they don't have control at all so, that's what they're against to.

Not all calls have to be someone they need to onboard. There are calls that are dedicated for the investors and potential partners.

There are appointments that are given to the potential investors and that's why they are having this kind of treatment. And the legitimate ones will really have to take you with their time to view them through a call before an actual meet up or so.

Actually, we have to blame the scammers and protect the ignorants. But with this modern technologies, they're taking advantage of the negligence of those people that are misinformed and uninformed about their tactics.

@capoeira don't use the thread to post to let others know you are job hunting. You can apply to the new open signature campaign if you want to.

The government doesn't envy you because you own Bitcoin. In fact, you will be a great contributor to the economy if ever your progress as an investor will be a success. They just don't like the features that it has got and they are still in that taboo about it being used by criminals. It's been so long since that reason has been the one taught to the regulators and the government itself. One thing that you have said about is the real deal on this current state of the market and it's about being careful about scams, they're not limited to memecoins but almost every project that comes out nowadays and also the platforms that offers investments. That's what the people should be careful with.

To be honest, these CEOs if they will have a webinar or going to take a call for someone who's a potential investor, they're going to do it with a group video call or with a scheduled one not just with them having someone on their back but also with other potential investors that they're selling their token/coin. There is also deep fake, an AI that's able to copy the face of the person they're imitating. This is rampant now and if it's about these messaging apps, I am already taking notice to them that I should be careful and always notice a red flag and don't trust anyone on the web quickly that you have just talked to. Anyone can pretend to be someone.

2024 or 2025, it doesn't matter because we're definitely going to see it and it's just a matter of time. What matters right now is what you do. If the others that have been looking forward to see $100k soon and starts to accumulate, you should be encouraged with that because you're going to miss that opportunity if you keep on asking and doesn't do any action at all. Majority of the people of the forum believe that we'll see $100k either by end of this year or by 2025. The parabolic movement of Bitcoin has given us the idea on how high it can go and that potential ceiling is unpredictable.

I might do the same as well but to my close family, relatives and friends first but typically when it comes to this kind of activity, I don't really broadcast them at all. It's been a long time since I started and was able to do this kind of thing and I share my blessings to the less fortunate and I can't share the entire details about it. IMO, we can do our own share whether it will be $100 when the $100k mark for Bitcoin hits or even it don't hit that, as long as you want to share or give to the less fortunate, you can do that anytime you wish. As long as it is within your grateful heart and you're happy to share, it's actually about your personality and being a charitable person shows what kind of heart you have. Little kindness we do, big impact to the lives that will be involved.

A pen drive or a flash drive has a limited storage. Just as Pmalek stated, if you're going to create a blockchain for supporting that pen drive you like to have, the storage that it has got won't be enough to store the entire thing there. So, probably you're confused about seed phrases, private keys or seeds being stored on them whether as a file or simply in a notepad. Soon, pendrives are going to be a thing in the past, we're now even seeing external hard drives only for back ups that are serving the same as flash drives. But I remember, if you go just want to run a bitcoin wallet on a pen drive then it's possible as long as the wallet is lite just like Electrum. I haven't done it though about the launcher of there being saved but sure you can save the installer on a pen drive or memory card as long as it has enough storage.

The idea was there and never gone about Bitcoin being used as a currency and it being a store of value has seen to be a potential when it's got the volatility just like any other asset that we have traditionally. So, there's no problem if you are holding it because you are optimistic about it as an investment or you are using it to spend on things you like being in with the trend about purchasing pizza's with BTC. It doesn't really matter because with that small contribution that you do to the market and its economy counts just like the retailers.

And the same goes for BTC, if you don't sell it, you retain the value of it and because of it having a limited supply. The value of it is being reserved so, if you love yourself or your family and you chose to use it as an inheritance then you're simply applying the use of it as a store of value because you know that in the future the value of it will be bigger.

You're right, you're contributing to the ecosystem of it when you're also part of the circulation and you spend it. But change is within the ecosystem that many of us have realized that the power of BTC as a store of value is more valuable than of being used to spend it to anything you want and use it as a currency. No one stops us from using either of it because they're contributing to the actual economy of Bitcoin. And as a holder of it, you are the one to determine where and when you want to spend it, no one will kick you down to spend your holdings. We're not as big as the institutions that they are free to dispose it anytime they want and that's why we're giving importance to what we have and the decision that we'll in the future is going to determine a big change for our lives.

Congratulations guys, I think dump3er won twice or more than that? while I, still out of luck. 

Probably, a typical ISP issue. Whenever you encounter this issue again, restart the modem for you to have a refreshed IP although there's a dedicated mirror link to your country so it won't be a problem if ever you deal with this again.

@OP you don't have to post consecutively with different quotes and replies, if you're going to reply and no one has replied yet you can merge all of your replies in one post.

It's not risky to hold them forever or if that's the risk that you're thinking about then don't sell all of your BTCs. Sell only what you are going to need and hold what you want to hold for that long.

That's a lot but knowing that it's one of the permanent things in the world, death and taxes. 

And just as the other wealth and assets that a rich person has, it can be passed on to the next generation and to your heirs. It's not a problem if you'll sell or not, you have the authority to do whatever you wanna do with the BTCs that you're holding and no one can influence you from doing it. If some things happen to you and you're in need and you have no option but to sell, you can take a part of it, a little bit then use that for sustenance of whatever situation that you have to deal with that financially and you're going to see the use of BTC in those time of needs. Whilst for those that have sold in the past because of their needs, don't regret, as long as you get to use that with your basic things on that moment be grateful and it's not too late to re-accumulate.

It comes naturally when you started to invest on this market, you will have to deal with it whether you like it or not. So, it's much needed for you to do it.

When you are good in managing your money and time, you are free to do any of it. But as you've said mining, and trading are the same and it's not for everybody. So if you can't mine, you can trade or be an investor. We all have options.

Bitcoin itself.

Pretty much the latter but I don't day trade and I don't do futures.

I am not but traders from other markets have also adopted and started trading in crypto long time ago.

You are giving them full custody of your funds and your entire fate relies on them. So, if they end up the same thing as the other platforms that have gone out of business because they can no longer sustain their interest to their users and creditors, they may go out of business anytime and will just file Chapter 13 which is bankruptcy.

Most exchanges have the stable coins deposit and they have an earn feature with that. It's likely around 4%-11% or even more depending on the exchange but I have given you the number and that changes. But the risk is there, and you have an idea that you don't own your crypto anymore if it's on them but yes, it is being projected on your account.

There was a thread that I have made before about Certified Bitcoin Professional.
This can be another call for the right name to be used if someone is addressing a person who's involved in Bitcoin but not all of us are professional and this kind of title requires to pass on an assessment or exam.

From what country are you OP? I understand your situation and when people who are able to survive this challenge tell you this and that, that's giving you the hardship to analyze if it's possible to happen in your situation. While your country isn't open to online work, and the opportunities there are limited, the best solution that you can do is to go offshore and work abroad or go to some other local area or in the capital city of your country and try to find opportunities there. What's the law of your country about remote work? that's why I am curious where you are living because only a few country that doesn't allow this setup.

Aside from google trends, when you see that many "experts" are starting to say that the market is going to dump anytime soon. So, with these experts telling from Twitter(X) or from any platform that they're in and as well as with the interview in the likes of Bloomberg and other financial segments in the global televised programs, you'd see them telling the opposite of what should happen. I'm not sure if many still remember that when these "experts" tell that we're going to crash, the market is going oppositely and it goes up and the same if they tell their sentiment about dump, the opposite reaction of the market comes.

It's amazing to see that more than a decade trade that has talked about Bitcoin ETF has now become into a reality. And the institutions aren't stopping from there because it seems that each country will also have their own proposal for their own markets and citizens that the idea came originally from the ones that have been approved. And those that have been approved for sure came from discussions like this where in many have doubted its approval circa 2013 or so.

While I have also heard that this is going to be a new trend. But IIRC, there were projects that have been tokenized the real estate and got through with this already. That was way back on 2017-2018 where bull run and bear market met.

I'll still differentiate these two, if I invest on a property then I'll stay to it and won't be looking into tokenize it. But that's right about your comparison as if you're also staking but the value of the property appreciates yearly and you earn passively through rent.

Good luck but not every trend in the market stays for so long. As we're in the bull run, any trend could make someone a lot of money but that hype won't stay for long.
