That's enough that institutional investors investing in Bitcoin. All other altcoins aren't truly decentralized although technically decentralized. For example, ETH is technically decentralized but the team of ETH is known and they would create influence in the market. So I don't think institutional investors will move into the altcoin market. There is very less potential altcoin that would be accepted globally in near future. For altcoin bull, doesn't necessarily institutional investors. Once Bitcoin will be stable on a zone instead of much volatility, then we might see an alt season as well.

The world is changing day by day and people's thought changing as well. TEN years back no one imagined that Bitcoin would reach above $60K. Same now we can't imagine what will be the price of Bitcoin after 10 years. That's why then peoples thought for holding for day or months. For the holding also there are few policies. Holding doesn't mean for a lifetime. There is some golden chance to cashing out as well and buyback. But I agree with holding instead of panic sell what I learned from my previous mistakes which aren't recoverable.

For me, it would nice to receive a salary in Bitcoin. But the issue is how will I cash out it. For now, whatever earning lately selling peer to peer. But I would face problems if the amount is big and regular. Because my government does not accept Bitcoin. Holding for a long time wouldn't possible due to daily needs. So the same problem would have occurred if the company willing to pay a salary in Bitcoin. But there would choose, workers would choose payment methods accordingly. I know if most big companies want to pay a salary in Bitcoin then it would be a massive adaption for Bitcoin. But it would take more long time to introduce Bitcoin to worldwide workers.

Who will send Bitcoin to your wallet? Two years back your BTC has moved, posting now isn't going to happen anything. Even your post instantly after moved funds from your wallet and confirmed transaction on the Blockchain means the funds gone forever. Bitcoin isn't irreversible or the hacker isn't going to send it back. I am not getting the relationship between YouTube and your wallet. I don't understand the language.

Anyway, you lost it forever. If you still holding such as big amount then move it into any hardware wallet. Often I wouldn't take a risk with Electrum when the amount is quite bigger.

Quite ridiculous reason to close the account. The reasons are mentioned in the Terms & Conditions just a few reasons to scam traders. Not using or not submitting KYC wouldn't a good reason for the closing account, I haven't seen this kind of Terms & Conditions in any other reputed exchange. The first time I hear about the STEX exchange, I don't know why traders risking their funds by choosing such as scammy exchange since many high reputed exchanges exist.

Anyway, thanks for sharing with us, hope others would take a lesson from here. But fortunately, we are very lazy to read the Terms & Conditions during registration in any exchange. If we can read it, then we might prevent such unexpected problems.

Quite confused about where to vote, so no vote for the poll. Government stop Bitcoin doesn't mean it will be Zero or not usable. They can't stop transactions by the way. If all miners stop mining Bitcoin then I will mine, so the transaction isn't going to stop anyway. If no exchange then peoples will buy peer-to-peer, buy-sell not gonna stop since it's a community-backed currency. I can't recall the name, but do you know a DeFi token crossed Bitcoin price? But it wasn't an effect on Bitcoin anyway. That all means Bitcoin not going to ZERO anyway if the world exists. But I have to say in the end, your thoughts are quite unrealistic and it doesn't go to happen. But price dump or more up is possible anytime for any reason on the crypto. That's why Bitcoin is much popular.

If a beginner thinks that he can make money from trading at the beginning, then most likely it's a wrong thought. I know perhaps a few newbies luckily making a profit at the beginning, but it's not countable since the amount is very less. Trading isn't easy that you are thinking. I don't believe and not familiar with the bots. But quite familiar with so-called trading signal groups. I don't know why propels need to sell their trading signals where they could make profits by themselves. But I am assuming the signal providers give signals after they bought coins. When they give a signal to the group, ultimately coin starts pump since many traders believe in their signals and start buying. As a result earlier buyers and signal providers get profit. But who bought later, most of them losing money. I believe that's how trading signals work. So you should decide on how and why should you believe in signal groups.

If you are going to trade based on whale alerts then most likely your portfolio will reduce. Any whales would move funds for any reason. Moving a big amount of funds doesn't mean they will invest in specific coins. Who knows if the exchange themselves move the funds? Honestly, I have seen a few such as whales alerts but don't see any influence on the market based on it. You have to learn how you may take profits from the market. The most important thing in trading is experience, so grow your experience and research the market.

Do you know why most newbies losing money into Bitcoin? It's not just for greedy behavior, there also a lack of proper knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Most of the small investors don't know the aim of Bitcoin or the technology of Bitcoin. They consider it as a profitable asset and eventually lose funds. Often we have been seeing many claims those lost funds by investing in Bitcoin, they thought its a quick rich method which is totally wrong. We should watch unrealistic dreams by the way. We have to go with the trend.

Are we not on the bull? At least we are bull on Bitcoin even not bull for all other altcoins. As soon as Bitcoin breaks the $40K support zone, then I can say we are on a bear trend. Otherwise just playing above $40K means still we are on Bitcoin bulls. Honestly, the current bull trend wasn't expected by most of the holders. But we have seen a great bull this year. To be honest I am not expecting more than it this year. It would be enough if Bitcoin stays above the $40K zone. If Bitcoin somehow shows stability for a few months then we might see bull into overall crypto markets including altcoins.

To be honest, if the trust system exists then abuse and manipulation will exist as well. I don't think we could prevent it anyway, otherwise, only the admin will have to control the full trust system who will be on DT1 or DT2. Users always will complain regarding the trust system, when the new system was implemented many users were against new systems. If enable full signature only for DT members then you have to wait for more manipulation and abuse of the trust system. But I only agree to increase support for selecting DT2 members and maintain active users. It would only reduce the abuse partially but not fully.

Oops! I forgot that Livecoin was hacked and closed. But seems the domain has been pointed to some other site. I thought Livecoin forcing users to post about refunds to get the remaining 50% balance. After reading your post wondering I was wrong. It seems the domain's own who controlling lately just musking another site behind Livecoin and promoting it on the forum. If continue shilling with new accounts, then most probably moderators would take action, but I am not sure if the report button work for them.

It doesn't wrong to hire a whitepaper writer. He will write based on your theme. But there should be copyright writers who will write unique content for you. I know many whitepaper writers just use a template by changing the name. But eventually, the responsibility will go to the team. There is no way to ignore this responsibility or skip it. If they can't make sure that their content is unique or plagiarized then they don't have the right to run a platform. Doesn't matter they will scam or not, but simply they wouldn't be trusted to me and I won't invest a single penny with them.

Support flags.

It's quite complicated for me to overtake you for posting. I have to admit you have enough patience to make the post and you afford a lot of time. Anyway, the number looking good, don't k ow if it's a sign of Lucy guy . I will love to see 11111 below my profile, most likely I need more than three years to achieve that. Although I don't have any Lucky number, but I love 1, because sometimes I feel I am alone. But really I am not sure if I could notice that achievement for me.

What a fucking condition to pay your own funds from an exchange. They paid you half of your funds and will pay if only you make a post on this forum, am I right? I know you are worried about your funds and you want to take out your funds from there. But I will ask them a question, was that on Livecoin's Terms & Conditions that 50% of your portfolio will be paid after creating a thread on the forum? It simply means their intention isn't good. They don't have the right to force anyone force making a thread on the forum to get a withdrawal from their Exchange.

Anyway, you are lucky if they proceed with withdrawal after seeing this thread. It was your mistake to make deposits on Livecoin, so you have to suffer as well.

I am quite confused about what exactly OP wants to explain to us. First of all, you shouldn't compare gold with Bitcoin. It's because both's specifications are fully different from each other. One is a digital currency backed by the community and another is natural assets. Where gold failed, any specific field? Or you are talking only price then still specification is applicable. Natural assets wouldn't be a competitor with digital currency created by a human with modern technology.  The real purpose of Bitcoin or crypto is to create a peer-to-peer decentralized electronic cash system.

Welcome to the forum. If your intention to join this forum for learning purposes, then you are in the right place. A couple of threads has been provided above that would help you to gain quick knowledge about the forum. For learning about cryptocurrency, you need to spend time on the forum to read posts and engage with the discussion. The forum users are enough friendly to help you if needed. I don't want to add more thread but just will encourage you to use the search button when you need to learn or know anything. Because so many threads have been discussed here where you would get your desired answer rather than creating new threads. I always suggest newbies use the search button to prevent spam and avoid unnecessary discussions.

Although I would agree I can't trust them. I have remembered when I took the campaign of Bamboo DeFi. After the launch signature campaign, I had marked hold the campaign due to plagiarism. But eventually, they successfully raised funds and get listed in multiple exchanges. Technically they aren't a scammer. But here is the fact of trust, personally I can't trust those who can't write their white paper by own or can't hire a professional writer. So finally I want to say, don't believe in plagiarism, doesn't matter they are scammer or not. Just avoid the risk.

The speculation will never end. If we expect that Bitcoin should just continue uptrend then most probably we are wrong. Bitcoin has created a new ATH this year which is above $60K. If you look deeper then the reason you will discover the current price is institutional investors. If we can't see more big institutional investors in Bitcoin then most probably we have to see a big correction at the end of the year. But in the meantime, if we see more instinctual investment in Bitcoin then simply price would push to above $100K. As I am always saying that anything could happen in crypto that we aren't expecting anyway.

A good explanation has been given by o_e_l_e_o. Technically all private keys and public keys are unique. It's quite impossible to generate duplicate private keys on the Bitcoin blockchain. But the question is either your private key is compromised or not. When you are using a web wallet or any closed source wallet service means you have to trust them blindly since there is no way to verify if the private key has been compromised or not. So it's better to use an open-source wallet where you can read the codes if you have development skills.
