Don't blame me if I feel you are lieing when you said you liked this forum a lot. A long time ago , you just created this account newly and never mentioned  that you had been with us before and moreover your topic is a bit confusing especially your right up, you said you decided to start investing then you said you have never moved a finger, I don't get you at all bro.

Anyways its not too late to start investing in bitcoin even if the price have well grown from what you used to know it at, and you should have in mind that If you still don't start now you would still miss out even more cause the price would continue to grow.

I really don't like the idea of monitoring the coins I hold cause I could get tempted to sell, unless maybe a new coin that caught my eye and I'm trying to find out more about.

I Normally use the exchange where I buy my coins from to check prices but for detailed information I use coingecko or coinmarketcap especially when I want to get more useful information about a coin I want to invest in like thier daily trading volume, all time high and even their total supply so I can make more informed decisions before investing.

Nobody really knows if satoshi really planned on beign anonymous from the start or even had thoughts that bitcoin would he this big today, its hard to tell if he was just some secondary school nerd with a brilliant idea and some obsession or if he is a more advanced person with some status.

I'm not convinced that he was nick szabo and decided to use NS as a basis for his new anonymous name, like if it was planned he would have better left no trace of his original name or even use the first letters for the new name, he was smart for sure, so if he wanted to disappear he woudl leave no trace especially not one that would be easy to decode with a hint.
But there is every possibility that he didn't have total anonymousity in mind and must have had a few friends that knew him or probably wasn't planning to disappear from the start.



Quite long and I don't think anyone would be going through such stress to make it up unless just to point fingers elsewhere, and it's also possible that he wasn't even chatting with the real satoshi or maybe it was someone he had disclosed the idea to earlier, and I think this project might also have had some kind of sponsors.

The truth is when it comes to the mystery of who satoshi was there are so many possibilities of persons it might be and we might have even guess right before or his person has not just even surfaced to anyone.

Sure there is a lot of pressure to sell now than any other time and it's not easy to hold on tight as much as you think l, especially those those bought earlier at 25k or 35 k that have already made profits on their portfolio might be thinking of selling now.

It takes a lot of discipline to hold longer especially when you are the only one of your friends doing so.


Not the easiest practice I bet you, its so tempting especially when you are subscribed to crypto news and you belong to a community as this all you would be hearing daily us about bitcoin and you would be tempted to check, so I I having such a plan would fail sometimes.

It's far better to be disciplined and set a target price you are hoping for and wait to then, besides everyone here or most of us are preparing to sell at at 100k or more, except the diamond hands that would prefer to hold longer or early accumulators like myself.

The only problem here is that they are hard to detect or find those good sheep from a swarm of sheep's, almost all new projects come out looking promising except those done by immature scammers that look so obvious and at times good projects are disguised this way too.

Looking for profits like 100x would surely get you into losing so much and its hard to get luck, I think rapid investment in so many projects would not be a good idea.

What you should do instead is go for the good old ones and invest in them, it's better a 5x that is sure than a 100x that is most likely not going to happen.

Crypto is still a fast growing sector and has lots of development, but I won't quite call it a present cause its still facing a large scale if mass adoption not just bitcoin but other alternative coins, people are loving the idea of self custody and owning a money that the government or banks can't inflate like local currency.

The truth we are in a very early era of crypt o acceptance and most people are here for profits, no matter the amount of companies that use crypto, fait is still for more used in many cases especially daily transactions.

So crypto IMO is still a future stuff and woudl have better usage in the future than now.

I can't say for sure but go for the old coins that you can be sure that the bull run would affect that going for those other new coins that has a higher chance of failure.

Get your eyes off 100x and such extreme profits and focus on more realistic profits like 3x to 5x and sure you are on the right track. Most layer 1 coins are good like ETH, SOL , BNB.

ALTHOUGH i hated SOL but is still one of the most unique coins around and has quite giving much profits to its holders, so it's not such a bad project, but note its extremely volatile and Do not hold for long term only maybe for this bull.

I think the fault if from you, you didn't read properly.
The month of march has been a bearish period for Bitcoin since it's history and a lot of whales predicted it's price to go below 60k and probably rise again after March in the anticipated halving towards April


The price of bitcoin would only surge if that money is coming into the crypto market and yes sure it was, maybe a lot of people are exchanging theri fajt for the thether to buy bitcoin or maybe another alt but it still goes into crypto.

I'm not the smartest when it comes to this but from my experience when you use Lower translation fees you get to wait longer for your transaction to be approved, so i guess you have to use a higher transaction fee but I think there are ways around this tho, you should ask on the development and technical board.

Yes your talking about lightning network stuff.

I don't think they have any knowledge, most people are still scared of the bear without knowing its the right time to invest in bitcoin, FOMO I'd just the feeling, no one wants to miss out but your here at such a wrong time, we could as well be at the peak of the bull and your just coming.
But it's not too late I guess, although it's been quite since Monday, bitcoin still have enough power to break into 100k
Maybe after the halving.

Yeah mate most replies would only be just mere facts or information read online or news from the TV, the only real way to know is eating of bears mouth 👄.

But I don't think el salvador has well reached that level of using bitcoin as a daily means of transaction, beign in el salvador doesn’t change the fact that gas fees are high and network congestion would affect everyone using the blockchain, so I don't think it has gotten to the point of :

I want to get a coffee  ☕ 😩
Send bitcoin to my wallet address🤑
Here is your coffee ☕
Hey the charge is too high 🤯
Not my fault its our president 🤷‍♂️
What?
He wants to accumulate as much UTXO as possible
😄😄😄

I feel we over expected too much from bitcoin even if it has done doing fine in the past 13 years, fait has been around for more than a century now and bitcoin is just 14 years in, we can't tell how the next 29 years would be, scalability might be problem of the past and gas fees would get wven lower and affordable for people to use for daily transactions.

And for a innovation still very young bitcoin has been doing fine, not only has it proved to be a better money than all fait currency, but I has withstood so many challenges from government and many negative news that affected it socially like at the time of mt gox hack and so many early hacking that bitcoin faced at a early stage.

Bitcoin might also well not achieve scalability and that's why alt coins exist to back it up in some areas, so many other alts can be used for daily transactions with low gas fees, so this is still an issue for someone new to bitcoin and doesn't know his way around.

Bitcoin can only be approached as an investment cause that is the only working sector now, and to show that digital currency might well be the next phase of innovation in the economy, in 5 years from now I'm speculating counties having their own digital currency to help fix inflation of their local currency.

Im just sure we are making progress is quite goo early to be judging bitcoin.


Bitcoin is also well reaching that sage of drawbacks, just imagine all this big companies has well bough quite the amount of the total supply of bitcoin which I see as their plan,  dont you think they would have power to manipulate price of bitcoin, just imagine what one massive selling from any big companies now or ETF would do to bitcoin price now, a major bear spike can just be created instantly.

I feel every financial or investment asset starts out fine untill someone became too power to be able to control it and this is the inevitable future of bitcoin if big players are well in control of most of it.

What power does retail investors have unless to hold their bitcoin safely and wait, we can't even challenge anyone in buying, and if they all decide to sell now, bitcoin price to the gutters, so I think bitcoin also has those invulnerabilities mention, just we can't see it coming yet.

I'm not really leaving in very developed area where I spot Bitcoin ATM at all but I've heard of it before and I heard there have a very high gas fees, so for real who would use them when you can sell lower with centralized exchanges on you device, I wonder why people even use them unless they have have a very urgent issue and wants to sell or maybe buy bitcoin

You should understand that many persons invest in bitcoin for the purpose of getting profits off it over the short period of time, and that what majorly causes the bear when investors are selling of their bitcoin.

But I think it's majorly a very wrong move to be doing that cause we have a lot of big players and companies that are well equipped in cash that are buying bitcoin now and would really love you to sell your holdings back to them, you can see how the price of bitcoin soared after the ETF approval and how big investors are rushing in now.

To me after the sell their would be regret cause bitcoin would continue to rise and they would be on the losing side when they can't buy back at the price they sold, I'm quite sure that if the ETF continues buying we might not have a major bear that would take up back to lower prices like 35-50k, so a better advice would be mind when your selling.


Quite funny how no one really is a long term holder as they claim to be #not referring to you#, bitcoin offers a greater  empowerment to people that hold longer cause you have more chances to get greater returns than short term investors while I'm not against this I just prefer to advice not to sell all your assets at once or at all, but instead sell some portion and keep on accumulating when the bear comes again.

I don't see any reason why you feel bitcoin is a better investment than owning a property which is also lucrative business, as you know bitcoin depends on electricity and any war could also really affect it to at least in some ares if the war is a major war and also government policies has been one major enemy of bitcoin.

The only reason why bitcoin would beat other form of investment is cause its a better store of value compared to fait, any other form of investment gives return of profits in fait and that seems to be a down side cause fajt continues to suffer inflation and the value of your returns would only get lower.


I love the fact that you used the word speculation cause as you know anything can happen and bitcoin rise to the top was a major shock to people cause no-one actually believed in it when it started, but your right for now cause the facts available shows us that bitcoin could last even longer as more adoption takes place.

But it's also reasonable to have in mind that there is also a risk involved where you might lose all your investment and get no profit at all, which Is a possibility and also the opposite, and IMO I think it's wiser to actually make decisions based on possible senerio, therefore you should also consider diversifying your investment Portfolio into other assets like having a major shares in a company, stock and bonds or even something as tangible as real estate, I'd you really are planning for retirement then I think you don't want to get disappointed if bitcoin fails you, so this is also a better option than having only one asset in hand.


To me it depends cause I've hardly seen any person at his youth that is balances enough to start planning for retirement unless he plans on retiring early, I have a friend that wants to retire at 30-35 and yes he could plan ahead with investment a major part if his savings in bitcoin and other asset.

Most youths would invest for their dreams, like lifestyle and to get to a better level of life. So yes It is wise and a good idea  to, there is nothing wrong with investment little amount of cash for retirement.

Wow your charge seems high to me for someone who wants to start up a new business, your idea seems to already exist in the form of centralized exchanges although the function seems to be different, bitcoin Was not really designed to be help in banks and I don't see why you need to building such for a digital asset that is stored in a wallet a location on the blockchain, most of your customers would be those that still use centralized exchanges and are ill educated about how to store their bitcoin themselves.

A better idea would Have been to create a wallet vault that when you store bitcoin in, you won't be able to withdraw until the time that is set even with your seed phrase. Makes more sence to me.


Bro you speak as tho centralized exchanges doesn't exit which I also against what bitcoin should be all about, bitcoin gas fees are too high to use for normal p2p and most exchanges offer some discount or help reduce fees spent, and I don't even think bitcoin would have reached this level of adoption without the centralized bodies, I bought my first bought my first bitcoin through Binance, infact where I come from when you mention bitcoin what goes straight to people's mind is Binance, so we already have third parties involved in bitcoin for a long time now.

Why self custody is the best Is cause, centralized exchanges remains a target for scammers and lots of thigns could happen if you fall into a scam exchange that just came to steal, so for you not to be a victim self custody Is a better option and moreover it offers you total control over your asset without government supervision, but again centralization has well entered bitcoin cause some countries charge their customers tax over profit gained and that doesn't make sense.

I can see that dodge and solana has already started winning the vote, if I had 5000$ then I'm sure not wasting it on any alternate cryptocurrency instead ill invest all of then in bitcoin, I am most likely to get bigger returns from there and I have less to worry about the risk.

Although I think my best picks for altcoins would be monero, Ethereum, BNB, dodge and tron. I guess thses few have Bern around long enough.

I mostly prefer using coinmarket cap and coin geko to get accurate information about crypto at least for personal research,  but when I want to check out fun stuffs or news about who gets arrested next or law suites I prefer Reddit and X cause I do enjoy the arguments and different opinions people throw so I learn more and can ask questions when I'm confused.


OP don't let your enthusiasm lead you to a scam channel promoting a rug pull or any kind of untrusted crypto groups, when surfing to get info on such places like Telegram make sure not to share anything to personal about yourself or even ask a question like this there cause your just opening a door to a scammer, finding good groups would be hard so better stick with the trusted sites like coinmarket cap.

Any layer one coin like ETH can do that or even BNB for now that is easy for them to achieve, and even looking for coins that can give you such cool gains this bull is far easier than actually looking for bigger gains and would not get you into trouble.

I think DOT is fyn there have been trading fine and have good token economics so I think they could well meet the hype.
