It's a lot but even if it was 30% it also could crash the price. The crash depends on the project itself not the distributed coins. In extreme cases if you distributed almost all of it the probability of a crash would be higher but in lower numbers 20-50 it's always the coin's fault.

 You can distribute 40% of a good coin and not see a crash but you can distribute 30% of a bad coin and it will crash

I started with fiat money playing poker with friends then switched to real money slots and computer games. I gambled a bit using ingame items that could be later sold for money on platforms like steam. Then there was Bitcoin and crypto gambling came with it. Before that I've never gambled online using fiat money so I've never heard about KYC. I enjoyed crypto gambling much more than fiat gambling.

There really should be a real movie about Bitcoin. Crypto is not a real movie. It's a shit movie meant to launch itself on its popularity but to show it as a money laundering tool and dirty money of the Internet hackers.

Movies like that aren't really about cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin. They are made by mainstream authors who don't know much about it for the mainstream audience who knows as much as the media allow them to.

Most members of this forum who were here when Bitcoin was below 1k sold some. I remember buying some at that price and selling when it went up by 100 dollars because 10% was a big profit for me. That's how I saw things back in the day. Bitcoin was for making money on trading and that's it.

We grow up to become holders. It takes time

It is banned in some countries but look what countries are those. Low GDP weak governments. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Vanuatu... please.


The article and the first post are clearly saying something else. You haven't read that.

You didn't notice anything new or unusual OP. Bitcoin is constantly making higher lows and losing 130 million is only possible because it gained 160 first in just a few months.

It really doesn't matter if a correction after a big pump is 50% 60% or 80%. All that matters is that it's not 100% which means that holders gain money and bitcoin is still going up in the long term.

I don't really have a family and I don't tell random people what I do but those who know are curious and want to know more.

Most people think that if you're an investor or a trader working from home you're saying it because you can't get a proper job and that you're a lazy loser. I only care what my friends think so it doesn't bother me.

They really could spend some time and research if this is true or not. How stupid do you really have to be Mr. William Foxley?
In the headline he wrote that receive bitcoin refunds and in the first sentence right below he's saying that poloniex is allowing for no fee trading.

Since when allowing to trade for free is giving bitcoin? It's like telling people a restaurant is giving money away because it allows you to warm up a meal if you bring it from home

It can be sustained with ease. Years ago bitcoin and cryptocurrencies were called ponzi schemes but they are surviving and growing. If they were schemes the collapse would've happened years ago and people are starting to notice it. With trust come money and crypto will keep growing. 300 million is just the beginning.

I guess he means that not all projects deserve to be promoted. When you see that a project can be a hyip or is not paying well or the team or site are suspicious you shouldn't be helping them. It's a risk for you and for other people that can fall for their scam because of your shilling.

Check projects first and promote only the best ones. The rest will have to adjust or disappear.

Crypto crime rates aren't higher than fiat money crime rates. Mainstream media like to show crypto in a bad light because it's a novelty that undermines their long trust in their governments and fiat money.

Don't you know that governments control most of their media outlets? There's really not many channels that aren't pushing their own political agenda or the agenda of whoever pays more.

Because bitcoin is bitcoin - the most accepted and recognized cryptocurrency. Also it's the most stable one.

 Privacy coins are great I agree with you but they are still altcoins. You need a wallet that supports them and you need your partner to also have it and know how to handle this privacy coin. Almost everyone accepts bitcoin first and then try new altcoins.

So you see that bitcoin is getting more acceptance and that there will be more demand but you would choose altcoin? Where is a sense in that?

I would always choose bitcoin because if altcoins are to succeed bitcoin has to succeed first. It's a simple rule. There's no altcoin market without bitcoin.

TLDR LOL

Joke.

I did read most of it and I agree with you that altcoins are not special in any way. People were taught to differentiate and they did. Mostly in 2015 16 and 17.
You could see two investor types. One was the investor who made money on Bitcoin and tried to differentiate but stay in crypto at the same time. The other was a poor newbie who thought Bitcoin is too expensive and altcoins are more or less the same but cheaper.

They probably did that at first but when people accused them of doing it they changed their policy.


I don't remember when they did it and started to include every authors investments in their profiles and most of them said that they don't to hold any crypto. This is really strange because every enthusiast should have some crypto. You won't find an automotive journalist without a car and there shouldn't be any nocoiner crypto journalists.

So what? You can always exchange the amount that you need and pay with it but hold the rest.

I would love to get paid in bitcoin because I like to hoard it and having it would help me to spend less and save up. It's sometimes hard to make yourself dedicate some money to an investment but getting paid in an investment would fix everything

Hunting for airdrops usually is like looking for gold in a river. You will be looking and looking for days and weeks but once in a while something nice will come up.

The best airdrops come to those who have BTC ETH or other big altcoins. If you have 10 BTC or something you can really get a nice airdrop from time to time. Free airdrops are usually shit.

I did the survey, all questions were clear and easy.

By asking "who are you" do you mainly mean what exchanges and wallets do we use and are we spending coins? That was my impression after doing the survey that you are focused only on our exchanging and spending habits not about our age or background. I did some similar surveys and people were usually trying to put me in an age/gender/occupation group first.

Interest doesn't mean buying. The headline is really exaggerated and probably even fake. If governments were to buy bitcoin just to hold it it would mean weakening their own currencies.

If they really wanted to destroy bitcoin they would be able to do it. They could print a lot of new money and use it to buy all bitcoins that you can and then close all of it in a vault making the supply so low that it will be impossible to use it as a currency.

They won't oppose but the main argument here is that they are anonymous and won't get caught. It will depend on where their business is located. TPB managed to avoid being taken down for years by switching servers from country to country but eventually the government got them.

Chipmixer can be anonymous and keep their clients private now but they won't be able to hide forever and continue to operate the business. There are fees and taxes. They aren't located on no man's land.
