I think that it's shady that they kept his BTG because we don't know if those coins were or weren't sold by coinbase. It would be free money for the company if they were to take those coins at any point and sell them without telling their clients. We're talking about millions of USD here not just this guy's coins.
At the same time if they were forced to fork BTG by court they'd have to install the software for every single BItcoin fork possibly compromising their security. People would start to demand Coinbase pays them their Bitcoin God or whatever...

Jeff Bezos and other millionaires have donated at least 1% of their wealth to the coronavirus. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/06/how-much-americas-richest-are-donating-for-coronavirus-relief.htmlThe pandemic has taught us that we must preserve the most important thing that is health and our loved ones. We are also concerned about work, many people around the world have lost their jobs. After the pandemic, I think that all these people, the richest in the world, should help create sustainable jobs to reduce the global poverty rate. It's easy to share money that exceed the wildest dreams of the majority of the population. We usually want this or that and these things keep growing in value once we achieve a certain level. A sturent wants a new computer, a grown up man will want a computer room, a millionaire will want a room full of employees so that he won't have to use a computer anymore. Once you have it all and more, all the yahts, apartments, houses and cars, you're free to play the good guy and donate. Donating doesn't make Bezos a good guy. It's just his way to feel better about all the money that he's gathering. |

The funny part about what OP has said is that posts like that were made every single year in Bitcoin's history.
"how the hell it is worth $1k when just 2 years ago I was selling for $10? There's nothing that would explain such growh in value! Nobody is using it!"
FYI nobody is using gold to buy things in a store too.
Usually people who miss the train try to share their regrets with the rest of us in the form of "Why the hell is this happening? It's unfair"

It all depends how the mom will raise the kids. There are kids that will kill thier parents all for insurance, tis been happenning every time. I would rather be alone and old in the Retirement house than living with kids that you know will slit your with just one signal from their mother.
You know what makes hell for a family? Its the in-laws.
If you are going to raise a kid who is not going to bother about killing their parents just to get money then the parents are to be blamed.People rarely do the things as you said for some hate towards their parents basically due to the sex abuses in their childhood. It's not always the fault of the parents. Children can have genetic inclinations to violence. Some kids are born with psychopathic tendencies and if parent's don't notice it early those tendencies will continue to develop. It is partially the fault of the parents but the kid doesn't have to be abused or neglected to become a murderer. |

Bitcoin is not created by the government, so taxing them is unnecessary. If taxed, do it with bitcoin trading companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. Given the current transaction volume, the crypto market is too small to be taxed. When the crypto market is big enough like the forex market, taxation makes more sense.
What about the things you produce by hand like if you were making furniture, your intrellectual property like music or books? All of it is not produced by the government, yet the government takes part of your profit. Life isn't fair and the government is like a leech that sucks your blood every day, but when you try to rip it off it bites of your hand. |

The Winklevi are running an exchange; and since most people know about bitcoin already, I think it's safe to assume that they shilled an altcoin to let people gain more interest and potentially them gaining more users on Gemini.
That seems most resonable explanation. Doesnt make it right as a whole situation. I would assume Winkelvoss twins have higher standards and would do more in terms of promoting Bitcoin and their exchange. Kinda dissapointed in them for this. All they want to do is make money and satisfy the government. They don't care about their customers just about their own wallets and making sure all agencies are happy with the data they provide. If you ever use Gemini or Coinbase say goodbye to those scarps of privacy that you still have. |

I don't find gold to be attractive at all. It sure is pretty and I have a wedding ring made of it, but that's all. I'm not going to collect gold bars or anything like that. Gold is the metal our grandparents were obsessed with as the only safe haven for money, but it was understandable since they lived in the era of the great wars.
Bitcoin has a chance to overtake gold but for that the current gold bugs have to disappear, which will not take long as most of them are in their 60s.

It's cyclical, remember John Mcafee? he was one of these so called crypto influencer and even commands $100k per tweet about shitcoins way back in 2017. And now maybe we don't hear from him anymore, but the rule of the game doesn't change. They are going to shill, that's their job.
And for us crypto enthusiast, we should be always be careful on who to follow, on who we believed, otherwise we are going to get REKT here. Let them shill whatever they want, it's really up to us, use our common sense and think many times before buying any shitcoins those influencers are promoting or advertising specially in Twitter.
The pseudo influencers like McAfee know there's a lot of money to be made from shilling. Wasn't McAfee asking 100 thousand to support a coin? I've never heard about this guy as well. The only Portnoy that I know about is Mike Portnoy the drummer  |

Marriage is an integral part of every human life. It is not a punishment but marriage is required to play the role of one's family in life. From the point of view of Islam, marriage has been made obligatory on every man and woman. according to the current situation in the country people are getting established first and then getting married. Age is not a barrier here. It is not a punishment it is the security of old age and it is an attempt to respect each other.
We know about the way you treat your 9 year old brides. Different understanding of the age of consent is really not the best point to make in this discussion unless you want to talk about pedophilia. |

Some of my friends change their jobs offline into an online business, but they still find what the jobs that can suit them are. But they still try to search for offline jobs because they still prefer to do offline jobs.
So the situation isn't that bad for them. When they're able to have a job while looking for a better one everything is as it should be. It would have been much worse if they had no job or no options to even look for a better one, like many people in poor countries. In the big picture, the availability of online jobs puts you in a decent situation. Imagine living in central Africa or South America where the lucky few have Internet access and a computer. We really shouldn't be so pessimistic and have some fun instead of constantly worrying about a crisis that may never come. |

the reason why countries on the African continent find it difficult to develop is that human resources there are still low.
greed is still a very major cause of the problem there, without changes in human resources there, it will be difficult for countries on the African continent to develop.
Africa continent are actually diamonds that have not been sharpened, there are many extraordinary natural resources there and should be able to prosper the inhabitants of the African continent.
There are human resources but not enough skilled labour. In fact we could make a long list of problems most African countries are struggling with. Poverty, coruption, lack of education and healthcare... If things continue the way they are the continent will become hot and dry due to climate changes before it becomes developed. |

I don't really mind rich people spending their money the way they like. Do you know why a face mask doesn't hurt me? Because I saw sheikh's palace, people in UAE who pay 100k USD for a personalized license plate, gold and silver plated ferraris, private jets and all that. A face mask will at least look nice on a shelf, what about a million dollar dinner with Warren?

Let's step away from the "Let's proof this" for a moment and ask her what type of marriage contract was in place, when they got married. Some contracts stipulate that any spouse can only claim for the things that was accumulated after they got married. Was anything mentioned before the marriage about wealth accumulated before the marriage?
Also consider the fact that your husband might have other coins that are not stored in the service where you have joint access and that you and your children have rights to those coins too. (Difficult to proof, but if he lies about this in court and this come out later, then he can get into big trouble.)
I believe this was answered when OP said that "He put the most of our money into Bitcoins". This means that Bitcoins were bought during marriage. AFAIK if the decision was done during the course of marriage the profits belong to both of the partners. I agree though that there's not enough information for us to be able to help and we don't know in which country they live. |

finally I can fall asleep peacefully after knowing this person who made popular the word HODL, I am sure he has become a rich person now because he is holding bitcoins until now, it also looks like he will continue to hold bitcoin until another new ATH later
You can be theoretically and practically rich. A holder like him who has, say 50BTC stored somewhere on a paper wallet and has never touched them since 2013 is theoretically rich. You can make a single mistake, get hacked, get that encrypting trojan, send coins to a wrong address and you're done. I also have a lot of Bitcoin but I don't feel rich since I've maybe spent 1% of them in the last 5 years. An investment is like a work in progress, you are not rich until it's realized and physically manifested in real estate, or education, which is even better because self-improvement is one of the few things that can't be taken away from you. |

I agree with something mentioned a few posts above, that you should show your expenses, not only the wallet status on a tracking app. Were coins bought from your account? Were they bought using a shared account? Were they earned or maybe inherited. The court has to take all of it into consideration because if you find no proof that they were bought during marriage and your husband finds someone to testify that the coins were inherited by him you're going to have a hard time. Also, there's probably nothing that would stop your husband from buying a coin like Monero using a proxy (friend, family member) and lying in court than he never had any cryptocurrencies and the tracking app is showing some random address that was never his.

Investing in 5 topcoins is indeed a great option for lowering a high downside risk and it's a good thing to do. I myself am thinking of doing a deeper exploration of coins that do have something good like TWT. For beginners it is better to invest in top coins and at the same time to understand cryptocureency fluctuations and information
I don't agree with this. "Don't put you eggs in one basket" doesn't work within one and the same market. What diversification is all about is mitigating the risk by investing in many different industries, assets, commodities and so on. It's not about buying 3 different buildings in the same area because you're after all still in the real estate business. If anything goes wrong with the market you'll be in trouble. It's the same with crypto market where all altcoins depend on Bitcoin. By buying top 5 you are not diversifying, this is a misconception. |

I don't see any benefit in trying to keep coins clean, especially when coins ate mixed almost anywhere you go. In wallets with multiple addresses unless you really pay attention to imputs and outputs, in all centralized wallets like casinos, exchanges and such. Trying to keep them clean is like an impossible struggle for an average user.
Also we cannot forget that a large number of coins is already "dirty" and owned by people who were not even aware of the concept of clean coins.

It all depends on how much these old people hae to do with technology. You can have a 70 year old who doesn't know how to use a mobile phone or a 70 year old who uses a computer every day and calls grandchildren using skype. People who don't use any electronic devices are a lost cause, just like people who never had a computer in their lives.

Shareholders (and let's be honest, hype buyers) may be happy now. We'll see how happy they are if BTC takes a dump!  If this was a brazen way to boost themselves by jumping on another hype train they may live to regret that. Ideally it's a clear-eyed financial decision but there's no way of controlling how it's going to be perceived by others. It certainly is working wonders for the company now. The average joe like me has never heard of microstrategy but now it's everywhere in the crypto space. It's exploring new markets and taking advantage of free publicity. Evein if the investment doesn't bring the expected profit it's still going to be good for them (most likely). I'm positive that if they hold it for another 2-3 years they will make money, even if there's a dump in the coming months. |

Could have been worse...   He should have that pinocchio nose for lying about a 3 month erection. I don't believe this would be hard to correct on the spot and in real life if he had ift for 2 days he'd go to the ER and get it fixed. They would be able to release some pressure by simply sticking a needle in it and draining some blood. If he had it for 3 months he must have wanted it to stay that way. Maybe his boyfriends were happy with the unexpected side effect of his surgery. other plausible scenarios are that the reason he has body-image issues is due to the fact that any female he has been with never got satisfied and left him. maybe he had erectile issues(never getting it up) and is now trying to say that he finally had an erection as an advert that his penis now works.
Does he look like he's into females? |
