Out of the 5 stars, open source has one star. What does this mean? Does it really mean that it is a closed source code or an open source code. Maybe to know this, we need to know whether or not the brave browser is an open source browser. If the browser is open source, the wallet will likely be open source too.

That's what I have to say as well. Just because someone can use your browser doesn't mean that they can hack it. But the first set of security is that you should ensure people don't have an idea where your wallet is. If they can relate that there's a fund there, it will become a target.

It is exciting to see BTC at $50k but then this is the period many people will lose their hard earned bitcoin just because of some negligence or not securing their coins. Scammers troop in their numbers into the cryptocurrency industry. It will be save to have saved or DCAed from the bear period till now that you are supposed to take profits and you suddenly discover that you have been hacked or exchange has collapsed. But then, despite the abundant advice on the internet, people still fall victim of exchange dramas

That's my opinion but some people are seriously anticipating a big correction. It is difficult to know which opinion to follow even after doing your own research.

I have always told people that exchanges are part of the cryptocurrency industry and it will remain here as long as the industry remains. I only advocate that people should use exchanges the right way they are supposed to be used and not as a wallet.
At the height of mempool congestion, it was exchanges that was helping people out easily. Thanks.

It is true that the price needs some corrections, but before the correction, it might move to 55k, such that it will correct back to 52k region. The market is still showing signs of bullish, which shows that there will be another upwards movement. I am saying this based on the result of the poll and statement of the people. But then no one can be too sure of the market, anything unpredictable can happen but then we are still confident because it is BTC.

The incident of price increase on the goodnews of ETF approval and later crashed was because people who were holding before the ETF approval decided to sell and have another opportunity to enter the market for the sake of the upcoming bull run.

It is nice if you can take a good look at your vote again. It has happened and it is purely up and up. Wonderfully known that we have touched $50k again. This is a resounding hope to the coin called bitcoin. My question is, from here, where do you think we are heading to? Can we go straight to bull run from here or we will retest the 40k and 30k regions before the major bull run .

Hey Stop! 🛑

Look around, it is $50,000


Can you now see the effect of the ETF approval?

What do you think...

• An upwards trend from $50k
• An downwards movement from here

Why would you do that when everyone's eyes is on the Satoshi coins. If anything did happen to the coins, it will affect the bitcoin price. It will also be good if we see that bitcoin in the address as a bitcoin reserve. When people remember that one address has such amount of bitcoin, they might not think of manipulating the market.

There's no need appearing again while hiding for many years.

This is not necessary because bitcoin is continuous and not ending tomorrow

Yes, because this is passion and wherever Satoshi might be, he is doing that already I guess.

Yes, maybe to create more fundamentals.

Yes, the best option

Many people are in the cryptocurrency industry just because of the profit they get from the fluctuation of the cryptocurrency price. It is not many people that are interested in the technology behind any coin or any blockchain. What actually are they going to do with the blockchain technology and how is it going to help their life. Many people are just here to take advantage of the price fluctuation and make a good morning for themselves and change their standard of living. The same thing is applied to the Bitcoin investors, obviously there are many advantages of using bitcoin apart from the price increase of the coin but people have neglected this advantages just for the profit of it. It is only a few number of people that are into the industry for their technology such as privacy and decentralization while the majority of the people are for the price.

In as much as solana has the ability to increase in price and has built a good number of community around their project and the project also has utility there is nothing that is going to obstruct it even if the blockchain happens to be down for more than 24 hours, people will still troop in because they surely know that the price will increase

Apart from investing in cryptocurrency, Op can also improve their standard of living by learning a skill that will allow them earn in cryptocurrency. While earning from cryptocurrency, you can invest some and by so doing the standard of your living will improve. Another method also is by rendering services and getting paid in cryptocurrency, although this will also require to learn skills. But in all, cryptocurrency is not a get rich quick scheme. This does not mean that you cannot become an overnight rich man with cryptocurrency. There are some altcoins and shitcoins which are very volatile. They could make drastic increase and plunge one into richness, but at the same time, it can also vanish your capital. That is why those kind of coins are not recommended for newbies who has no/little knowledge of how things work here.

Above all, increasing standard of living lies in ones hands to do whether or without cryptocurrency. This is because there are people in cryptocurrency for years and yet there standard of living hasn't improved.

• Know how to buy and sell
• Know where to buy 
• Know when to buy and when to sell 
• Knowing how to manage their portfolio and risk
• Not having a get quick rich mindset

It is fine that newbies should read and understand how bitcoin works before creating topics and making blunders. Learning is earning, if you learn more, you can easily earn more.

We actually should not undermine the power of good leadership. A good leader with his team can turn a country that is not working to one of the best countries using the available resources and manpower. But in the other hand a bad leader can destroy the destiny and the future of an endowed country. That being said, we could also see a good leader leading a country very well while some citizens in the country are still extremely poor. A leader in the national status does not provide food in the kitchen of all her citizens rather he provides enabling environment for small scale businesses to strive in order to affect the whole economy positively.

Some of the leaders of the African countries are not doing the right thing while on power and yet they would still want to live forever being in the office. To a point they would share the whole political posts both appointed and elected positions to them and their character members and even to their generation such that the cycle of power and corruption revolves around them and in their neighborhood. This is the reason why African nations are not developing because their leaders are just in tandem with their foreign counterparts exploiting the nations in Africa.

Honestly, I have read through the Op trying very hard to understand what OP actually intended to differentiate or teach between entrepreneurship and business. In your article, it seems that you simply customized innovative to entrepreneurship, whereby an ordinary business cannot be innovative. This is wrong. I can say that a good business man is an entrepreneur. If you do not agree with me, I would like to give an instance. Let's I moved into a new environment for residential purpose. On getting there, I discovered that everyone in that neighborhood travels a few kilometres to barbe their hair. I decided to open a barbing saloon, employed barbers and start making money. Yes, I am an entrepreneur. But then, does it eradicate the fact that I am also a businessman?

According to your analogy, it therefore means that every successful businessman is an entrepreneur, while unsuccessful businessmen are just into business. In order to start a business, risk is already taken and it therefore qualifies a business man to be called an entrepreneur. I therefore can use both words interchangeably and still be correct because there is not clear distinction between them.

AFCON FINALS: NIGERIA 1 : 0 IVORY COAST HT
It was really a fantastic and warm finals tonight as the Ivorians are in their good numbers and occupied the whole pitch. There fans were supposed to intimidate the Nigerian super eagles but it seems that there intimidation didn't work. Although the Ivory coast National team played a way better than the Nigerian Super Eagles in terms of ball possession, number of attempts and all round. Many Nigerians were expecting the Nigerian super eagles to man up with the Ivorians and contest the football but the Nigerian super eagles decided to be more reserved. I think it is the tactics of the coach "Defend and wait for an opportunity to exploit".

The Ivory coast team needed to win this AFCON for a few reasons;

• They are the host  
• Their process of qualifying from the group matches was dramatic  

However, the Nigerian Super Eagles have put much efforts and determinations in this match and they have tried to lead the first half with. A goal. So, being champions today will not be a surprise or an undeserved feat. let's see what the second half has for us

I was just wondering why theymos has been somewhat reluctant to add more merit sources. I couldn't actually get resounding answer, but I believe that theymos doesn't want merit to lose it value. He does so  by practically keeping it as scarce as possible. Adding more merit sources will make merit more abundant and who knows it could lose its value. But knowing that most merit source do not distribute merits and some are no longer active, it is nice to introduce few more hands and watch, if the result is counter productive, he can still reduce the number of merit sources thereafter.

One thing is having a merit source, another is having someone as generous as Leo in merit distribution. In terms of capacity, there is supposed to be two people replacing Leo

Who is Satoshi Nakamato?
If I am Satoshi Nakamato, how do I prove it?
How will you feel if I tell you that I am Satoshi?
I made the original forum for bitcoin
I regret creating bitcoin.
I have the private key to the address that received the genesis block.
I have Satoshi letter I want to sell yo you all.
I no longer want to remain anonymous.
I am Satoshi Nakamato.

It is important you know that not everyone here owns bitcoin. Some are just in the industry looking for an opportunity to have a daily bread and not necessarily that they own bitcoin. The economy is so harsh and poor, for especially people from the 3rd world country. Even in the world at large, there is global inflation. It appears to me that in the future, people will only just work to be able to feed and not to save or make projects.
But then, anyone who has money to buy bitcoin should buy and not to be overly skeptical. There's no late comer in the industry and still the industry is still young as there is a great opportunity for continuity.


You mentioned 50-100 years. It is not difficult to mention. But in the real life, do you so much believe that Bitcoin will last till the next 100 years. To me, 10 years is big enough for very big thing to happen in bitcoin (-ve or +ve), that will change or extinct BTC.

It is true that scammers are not only available in the cryptocurrency market during the bull run. The cryptocurrency market is characterized with scam and scammers are always available right from the beginning and they would also continue to be in the industry in as much as cryptocurrency continues to exist. But of course during the bear market most of the scammers are not seen because the market will not be lucrative and there aren't many new comers who would patronize their scam. It is during the period of the bull run that many newbies who has no experience or good information about the cryptocurrency market will join the bandwagon in order to make some profits. The scammers are always smart and innovative. They are smarter than you because they are always devising a new means to take you unaware and scam you. Meanwhile we aren't even researching more on how to escape them.

In order to prepare our minds we need to understand that scam is not living the cryptocurrency industry anytime. So we need to device a means to live with scammers and be ahead of them and not to eliminate them totally because that is clearly impossible. Newbies be wise.

Often times some newcomers have asked me how to be successful in the forum but I have consistently had simple things to tell them. I wouldn't list my advice to them below;

• As a newbie, you do not have to make yourself appear more knowledgeable than you are because it will not be sustainable and will lead to plagerism quickly 
• A newbie should learn more than they post or pretend to teach 
• A newbie should discover their passion and core essence, from there they can impact the community 
• A newbie should be their real self and not overly want to be a random established user 
• A newbie should exercise patience and wait for growth

Thanks Ben.
It is disturbing that the original idea of Satoshi about escrow is no longer popular among bitcoiners and especially newbies who are reluctant to learn. As against the true escrow, what people now consider as escrow is;

• One person serving as a third party among two parties who wants to trade 
• CEXs serving as a third party among her users by moderating the trade

Apart from the above two, the original p2p that is described by Satoshi in the bitcoin whitepaper which is highly related to decentralized system is fast dying off. I don't think this will be redeemable in the short period. This is because the first place that newbies sign up and create wallet is in the exchanges. From there, they will witness the exchanges P2P and will settle for that for a very long time and possibly introduce other latest newbies to the same system and process.

Being a day trader is somewhat a difficult thing to do but if done correctly gives daily profits. No matter how little daily profits are, the good part of it is that it accumulates and become something huge. Day trading as you have said is a skill that needs to be learnt extensively. If you are a successful day trader, you must have had some stories to tell from your newbie days. I am not sure there's a successful trader who had not made some mistakes at one point or the other during their learning period. Unless someone who learnt under serious mentorship.

One thing about day trading is that each and everyone of us must have tried it at a time before giving up. We had all thought it is the easiest and simplest way to be rich in the cryptocurrency industry. I stopped trading for three reasons;

• I am just an average or below average trader
• My emotion fluctuates when I enter a trade
• I do not consider day trading as a passive way of earning as it requires my time and eyes always on screen.

But in all, many people are successful day traders, especially those who came from the background of Forex.

I was just randomly describing different types of traders that we have and not necessarily comparing them. Although I stated it clearly that newbie traders are much more less successful traders because of lack of experience and patience and many no risk management knowledge. The three instances above are not directly conjucted with one another but for random sample examples.

Was used to demonstrate the level of emotional ruggedness. That at -70% a trader could be strong and waiting for reversal while at -10% another could be emotionally down and maybe experiencing a sleepless night.
