Same.

I might sell before it finally reaches there but I'll try my best to at least still hold some until it reaches there. It's like a life goal that will come once in a lifetime but learning the market's volatility that it will take time before another ATH gets in will make me decide what I should do before it finally reaches there.

Going straight to the point about it when I still have at least 1 BTC by that point. First thing, early retirement. No more 8s to 5s or 9s to 6s.

And that's gonna be the biggest impact to my life if ever I'm still here and Bitcoin reaches $1M.

Yeah, there's the negative effect on it because for the majority, we don't want to spend even with that small amount because we're already their product. Many don't understand that but for sure that's like one of the reasons why many don't want to pay it.

But those who would like to stay will pay that since it covers a year of membership.

That's possible to happen, friendster didn't managed to cope up with the new and current trend during that time. I even used it when it has been back with games but still, they didn't able to get back into competition.

And if that happens the same with X, it won't be surprising but as of this moment, I just watch the whole thing on where it is going.

I don't think so, having a back up with several companies could still help it to get up whenever it's being seen about to fall. But there is no doubt that he's done a lot of bad decisions and call out with this acquisition of Twitter.

He's got a plan on it that we don't know, maybe there really is.

There's another news[1] again that they'll charge $1 for new users from New Zealand and Philippines. This is gonna prove that users aren't bot because the platform is mostly used for propaganda, trolls and bots.

[1] X will start charging new users in two countries $1 per year

I agree.

While project owners know what they want, they know the purposes and uses of both campaigns. Signature campaigns are a way to increase the exposure of the project particularly on the forum which means is to give visibility just like the ads banner that we see in social medias and search engines. This target specific niche and people in the market.

And as for the review campaigns, this gives the idea the potential customers about user experience. While OP is right that all of the reviewers are required to use the project or its platform but eventually, they'll stop because they're just after for the review.

$2k+ of pump within less than a day or let's just say for just a couple of hours. This is all about fake Bitcoin ETF approval that we're talking and how much it will be if we see the actual news of SEC's approval for the actual thing and application.

This is giving the idea for everyone that the potential is endless for Bitcoin. It's just like dumb money that's flowing right now and waiting for these news to come before they enter.

I think it's safe to say that we should only rely on halving. But for the past halvings, we've seen that there's some push coming from other factors. Like in 2017 there goes the ICOs.

In 2021, there goes the NFTs.

In 2025, Bitcoin ETFs.... We shall see but it won't hurt to expect some help and reliance on both.

I have seen that there are that type of government that after building such good reputation and infrastructure for the people, the next one who sits in power that doesn't like it will destroy or at least let it forgotten by the people.

Well, yes, that's far different from Bitcoin that can't be destroyed by whoever gets to dislike it. But this comparison is like oranges and apples that I don't get it honestly.

But I have understand the sentiment and where you're coming from based on the story that you've told us.

Things really have changed now. It's far from the usual status that every graduates before, years ago.

But the lesson is not to be dependent to the aid of the government, since you're already a graduate, you can apply whenever you want or pursue more higher degree of studies.

And I agree about acquiring skills because it's more than of the competition today and companies would hire someone who's got more skills and is also a graduate.

That's a tough market for the freshmen but they shouldn't be discouraged because it's also part of survival skills that everyone has to learn.

That's just a probable delaying tactic because there's a chance that the Bitcoin ETF filed by BlacRock is likely to get approved.

There have been even headlines says that they're the owner of this world. LOL. I know that it's just a catchphrase but we know when these big financial institution applies or provides something for their own gain.

It's very likely and high chance that they will get it.

While that's true.

It's because the world has been used to that standard and gold has been the basis for having a reserve which is done by most countries. But if one country starts to change that just as what we're seeing with these alliances like BRICS trying to bring down the US and EU.

These global reserves could change but yeah, looking bitcoin at the spot is going to take time.

It was just a suggestion but it's to each their own on how much they're comfortable to invest in a week or in a flexible time that they want to buy Bitcoin. But that's true, it's a real situation that there could even be countries that have people earning that amount in a month.

Well, this is the market and it doesn't forces anybody to invest an exact amount. As long as you get to be flexible with that amount and it's not a pain to you, that's all what matters.

That's understandable bro and that's why those that are invested on Bitcoin and gets to hold it are really blessed. DCA, or any method that's relieving to you, do it and the point in all of this is to hold.

I'm off using these applications that are suggesting or keeping our passwords, it's not just right for me although they look helpful for someone who doesn't know about keeping passwords.

Anything that's related to finances, crypto and money, I wouldn't use these apps that are gonna keep my passwords, etcs.

They seem to be suggesting strong passwords but you'll never know if they keep backlogs of their users and then you'll just find it out that you've been lost and gone with as you've been used by them.

It is simple and many have been using it since they're a very popular website, they didn't have hard time in advertising it.

Unlike the other trackers, they're not known and that's why they don't have a lot of users compared to cmc app tracker. Some are just like integrated with your hardware wallets and that's like a direct tracker.

But for those simulations and trackers that don't require you to hold your assets there, use them as there's no problem at all with the usage of those and not required to deposit.

That's a twist.

I've just read on the link provided that it's 2021 so, it had happened long time ago and that's probably how they're funded as well.

Yeah, if there's no war I think that there won't be any highlight on that wallet but because it's timely, given that Hamas attacked on it so they have to be exposed.

It happened 2 years ago?

I agree to those folks that are saying that whoever is the group behind the robbery, it's still going to depend on how we're keeping ourselves secure and we shouldn't trust any custodial wallet for keeping our wallets.

I remember that there's also this type of news from Afghanistan after the taking over of Taliban. I guess these news will always connected to the current news and affairs but in relation with that, we have to be responsible on how we keep our funds and what wallets we use.

IIRC, there are also other exchanges that have left the UK market because of the regulatory pressure that they're giving to these companies.

That's sad that a lot of good people that are using their services are being pinched on this one even if they don't want to see them leave that market.

This is the effect of these regulations that are not favorable to the people but only to the government.

That's the cycle for those that understand that the altcoins are like the markets to get profits and they'll save those profits for Bitcoin.

They'll buy Bitcoin out of those profits that they've made from the altcoins so that they can still continue to make money and increase the value of that.

If the whales have been doing that, small investors should also do it based on how they're seeing it done by them. They're giving some signs in the market when you should sell those altcoin of yours and don't be too greedy with them so you still can make money from those.

Yeah, it's like NFTs.

But I don't think that it's a good investment when you're just going to have it as your asset and you won't be able to stay there unlike the real one.

I prefer the real one on this matter because just like the NFTs, they could also fall in value and that's a bad thing to watch out.

In simple terms;

Bitcoin has been there after being made by Satoshi Nakamoto for a long time without him. Since when did he left? More than a decade ago and his profile says since December 13, 2010.

That's already a long time but look at what's happening to Bitcoin, countries are adopting it and more will possibly make it as a legal tender.

One point is that, Bitcoin is here to stay. Not saying forever but yeah, here to stay.

Risks are there but we can minimize that depending on our practice and approach with these platforms. If you're someone who's aware of that, you'll only have to deposit that amount you need for their service, not your entire money to be in there wholly.

While many of these events have already happened in the past, one company has to learn from the attacks that had happened to others.

For them to at least give that safety net that they need to provide to their customers. But as a customer, we all know that none is safe with all of these attacks.

Precious metals have made a lot of people rich and if you can remember the gold rush, many from that time became rich so that was likely the peak CMIIW.

And during that time, the other people that have became rich were those who sold shovels. Luckily, we're in a different era where Bitcoin isn't yet on its peak.

It's just even starting out and compared to the shovels, there goes the miners (ASIC) and another good thing on this one, Bitcoin isn't just limited from those things.

It's actually money that we can use to pay people unlike gold, needs to be converted to cash first which is the same for Bitcoin. But if you're transacting with a person or a shop that accepts BTC, you do P2P.

And having Bitcoin, you can carry it on your mobile wallet unlike gold, it is tangible and it's hot in the eyes of people that sees it.
