Although I don't expect from people reading into this forum fall for such a scam (for those interested I recommend the only good ICO, the Howey Coins), thank you for keeping the newbies alerted/informed.

I think that the only moments he was not seeing the doom of Bitcoin were in the ATH days. But I'm not sure even about then.
For somebody who pretends to be against Bitcoin, this guy tweets far too much about it. However, I oddly find his tweets entertaining and I see them as advertising (!).

But the fact he's trolling continuously makes his tweets far from something to be taken serious.
However, like a broken clock that show the correct time twice a day, he may be right: the bear market may indeed not be over yet. Caution is in order for now.

With such a heavy money-printing spree due to COVID and then the energy war and Ukraine war, I think that this is a situation/state of affairs that doesn't even have to be detailed much.
Yes, big inflation will stay for some more years, and no matter what happens next, in the near future it can go only for the worse (even higher inflation, recession, ...)
After all, inflation in US is not even as big as in (many) other countries. And yes, I know, the official numbers are not the real values; it's the same everywhere.

Unfortunately since it's bear market for Bitcoin too, people will turn their back to this incredible opportunity and lose.

While most (but not all) altcoins are also scarce, there are some things here:
1. Bitcoin was the first. Most of the rest are just copying what Bitcoin has done or it's doing.
2. Bitcoin is accepted in more places than the altcoins.
3. Historically many altcoins are traded vs Bitcoin and not fiat directly (or have important coin-vs-BTC markets) making easy all of them fall (vs fiat) when Bitcoin price falls; even more altcoin markets are known to be more volatile than Bitcoin's
4. A very important factor is the mining. Bitcoin is not only very scarce, but also expensive to mine, incredibly expensive to (51%) attack, it's properly decentralized (unlike some known altcoins where a small number of entities are nodes, pools, validators, whatever).
5. Back to volatility: since Bitcoin market is less volatile (and a bit more predictable) than altcoins' institutional investors also seem to prefer bitcoin
6. Brand name. Bitcoin si the digital gold. The altcoins are "just shitcoins and scam".

Well, it's the country where you sue McDonalds because the coffee is hot.
I don't think they care whether they have a solid case or not. I think that all they want is to squeeze some dollars off Coinbase. I think that they hope for a quick settlement and that's all.

Bitcoin price should recover, but it may take months until that happens, so you need quite some more patience.
We're in a bear market now and this is the part where trust and patience uses to pay off.
If you lack these two you will most probably give up, since the price may or may not remain over 20k until the bear market ends.

Woah, imbatranesc!  
Am uitat complet sa scriu aici de concurs, ca l-am vazut azi dimineata.

Si da, e inca un concurs super fain; mi-ar place moneda, ca are exact vorbele lui Satoshi care-mi plac cel mai mult.
Valoarea incarcata cred ca e 0.0021BTC, cel putin acel numar este scris pe verso / poza 2.

Bafta!

On Bitcoin twitter handlers you'll see some who are expecting a breakout "any day now" for more than a month (and meanwhile the price keeps going lower)
So I would really take all I find on twitter with quite a pinch of salt.
And whether 17.5k was the low is hard to tell. I think that we can safely say anything only after we're far from this kind of levels, both as price and time (i.e. closer to next halving).

Right now even under-10k levels seem to be possible if we look for rather pessimistic calculations that still somewhat make sense. (I personally think/hope we won't get so low though.)

You're here since 2017. I'm sure that you've read a good couple of times "don't invest what you don't afford to lose". And I'm sure you understand that loaned money is greatly in this category.
There are 2 problems I see here:
1. Nothing is guaranteed, even with the "proeminent currencies". What if your investments go down and never recover?
2. A very common situation is big price fluctuations. Maybe the coins you buy would end up very good, but first they can easily and fast go much lower than the price you bought at. Since it's borrowed money there's much better chance you freak out, sell at a loss, and the price recovers only afterwards. (With borrowed money you may be more vulnerable / you may get scared much easier by price drops.)

I will start with the fact that the coins are never in the wallet, they're "on the blockchain" (said in an overly simplified way). This is very important to understand, for your coins safety.
Web wallets are not safe. The website can change the code and steal your information even if it worked well for years. Phishing and clone/similar websites do that even easier.
Custodian services and exchanges need KYC, have ever changing rules you have to obey to and they're a magnet for hackers since that's where the money is.
Local wallets are as safe as your device. Smartphones are bad, windows systems also bad, so maybe a linux pc is reasonably ok.
So the real deal is cold storage, hardware wallets and so on, but even here you have to be overly careful on how and where you store your recovery seed and what companion/software wallets you use.

Splitting can be a good idea if you do it right. If you split between wallets on the same (virtually infected) computer you've achieve nothing.
Keeping the smaller "daily" funds online and the bulk (if it's the case) on cold storage or paper wallets can be a goo direction, if you know how to generate and store safely those paper wallets.
Acquiring a hardware wallet can be another pretty good direction.

All in all, some wallets are safer, but in case of those the weak link is the owner (you) and the possible mistakes.

Not long ago somebody thought about splitting and was mentioning even some exchanges. And as I said, those are usually not advised, especially for larger funds. But each and every solution depends greatly on the user, his amount of funds, his technical knowledge, his willingness for KYC, what crypto services he's using, what software he downloads and installs, how he uses his pc...
So I can give some ideas, but it's your decision to make.


PS. This looks to me like a "beginners" topic, not really "trading", maybe you want to move it to the correct place.

Good morning! What a nice raffle you have here, thank you for your kindness!

After basically wasting the afternoons of a week, I didn't manage to get the tool work. It may matter that I've tried to build a safe Linux on an USB stick for the job and that ate up a lot of time too (and the result was far from perfect), but this solution to obtain the recovery phrase is not for me.
Now I know that I better don't mix Monero with Ledger. Thank you very much for opening my eyes, I may have made a mistake otherwise.

I've seen this kind of bug being reported here in the past too.
OP, you didn't get any new coins, it's just a (temporary) display bug.

In order to fix it, the options I see are:
1. Migrate to Electrum, it has less bugs than Ledger Live and it works good with Ledger, just make sure you download it from electrum.org and verify the download.
2. Clear the cache for Ledger Live, then check again.

Actually FP1 will start only in 6.5 hours from now. Way different time zone, since it's Canada
Everything will happen kinda late this week-end.

The exchanges are usually unadvised, since they're the ones that can fall the worse. They're honeypots for hackers, they're are businesses that may go bankrupt, or because some changes in the legislation or whatever they can deny your access to your money.

But as long as you have your funds split, as long as the exchanges don't keep for you lifechanging amounts, they can also be a convenient option.

Probably the bigger the funds, the more copies and splits may be needed. And in that case keep in mind that you should not brag about your wealth, since the 5$ wrench can be more effective than any hacking tool.

I find this more financial education than economics. Imho economics means also (or primarily?) legislation on the matter, which we don't know that good.


As said it was probably not bitcoin alone. You have read a lot of things too in the past, now you simply got to crystalize and link many things you knew with new things from here.


Imho calling me "economist without degree" is almost an insult (lol), since (most) economists (with degree) don't have the knowledge and imagination to understand bitcoin! 

Multumesc! Acum e in drum spre tara 


Am vazut, foarte bine ai facut!
Cum eu deja dadusem o data bump.. mi-a cam fost rusine sa mai zic ceva


Oops, mi-au alunecat degetele pe taste in ordinea gresita. Am corectat, mersi.


Exact! Bafta!
