I wonder why Elon Musk did not raise the difference in employee's wages as morally wrong.    It would gather him more attention than his argument of working from home as morally wrong.  The way he explained the reason why he thinks it is morally wrong can be compared to saying that the fishermen fishing on the water is morally wrong when the farmer are on land cultivating the crops.  Honestly I find it funny how he come up with such idea.

They are also the leading reason why an altcoin become worthless due to their pump and dump schemes.  Right after the whales had sucked out the support on the coins after they dump their coins for profit, they will move on to another possible prospect and never look back leaving the coin economics in devastated condition.



If you can have an eye and ear of this whale group then it would be great to follow their movement.  But if we don't have the fund to move the market, we will never follow the examples of these whales, all we can do is just ride on their strategy if it happen that we know their plans and future actions.  Sadly that information is not available in public so more often than not, we are too late to react and always 1 step behind.  So instead of following this whales, it is best to learn trading technique.

He can join the bounty campaign on the altcoin section by utilizing his social media accounts to join the campaign.  That is one of the few that @OP can take advantage in order to earn from this forum.  He can then prepare his account and join the discussion to  get merit and fill the activity to rank up.

The problem with the bounty campaign is that the value of payment is unpredictable.  He can be lucky and get huge amount or got unlucky to be paid with worthless token.  I think it is not bad to join the announced bounty campaign in this forum while he is ranking up his account.

Aside from that @OP can sell services or merchandise to earn in this forum.

This method suggested by mk4 is way safer than using the window OS.  Lots of hack and malware infection happen in windows environment and rarely I have heard linux being infected by malware.  Aside from that, it is also important to make sure the environment or OS system we are using in creating the wallet and private key extraction is clear of possible trojan viruses and other malware that can sniff our private key.  So  a fresh install OS is way better than using the OS that is exposed to a lot of sites.   Who knows that system is unknowingly infected by some hidden new malware that cannot be detected by AV and Internet securities.

Bitcoin market movement is really unpredictable, so we cannot justify anything just because our first few prediction happen.  Worst, if we are following technical analyst, Bitcoin is known a shamer of technical analyst.  There had been lots of prediction that bitcoin price movement had countered.


Why not start now?  It would be more troublesome if bitcoin price goes up by the time you planned to buy it.  You can always have the opportunity to DCA if ever Bitcoin price goes downward.  But you will never average down if bitcoin price starts climbing up.

You don't sound desperate  since your plan is to hold Bitcoin for years.

I also thought that @OP is about to state how Brokerstorm Scam his money (as the title stated) but I found out that @OP is simply giving a warning to members of the forum and the readers of these thread about the people who are scammed by Brokerstorm.  I was click baited by the title.   

Anyway, it is true that there is no need for this topic to be moved on the scam accusation, and there is also no need for scam accusation format since I think this is just a normal reminder topic created by @OP to be vigilant and avoid Brokerstorm services.

I wonder what would be the ground for this kids to get interested in Bitcoin?  Aside from watching animated movie or cartoons that discuss about Bitcoin, I do not see any possible interest this kids may have.  Yes they may know Bitcoin by name but I doubt they will dig deeper than what they have watched in animated film or clip.  Unless older people drive this kids into learning more about Bitcoin, kids will always take interest in fun activities and will often deviates from serious things since their nature at that age is to explore and have fun.  I doubt kids at that age finds fun in exploring serious matter about Bitcoin. 


Yeah this is also another reason exchanges and trading platform allow 18+ people?  And reason why kids needs parental consent when parent used their kids name for investment?  Because kids are not supposed to deal with investment at that early age.  They are incapable of weighing pros and cons of the complexity of trades and investment.  Adding and subtracting with numbers are way different in equating the possibility of profit in a trade.  Yes mentioning Bitcoin as an example or as unit of measures in an example mathematical computation is ok, but teaching kids about economics of Bitcoin at such young age will only burden them.

Im just curious, how can you make it to the next level if you don't invest money in Bitcoin?  You stated that you are not financially invested in Bitcoin because you prefer others to do it.  So since you wanting to take the opportunity to the next level, then you should involved your own finances to engage with Bitcoin investing.


Why not create a scenario where you yourself can be one of these testimonies.  What keeping you from investing your money to Bitcoin when you already have heard great success of people who are invested to Bitcoin.


@OP is so hyped that he forget about the cons of bitcoin investment.  Although, I think he will learn it as he engaged with Bitcoin economics, hopefully he would not learn it the hardway.


Bitcoin had already made lots of campaigns in its early years.  The advertisement and online banners can be considered marketing campaign.  It may not be directly came from the developers themselves and most of them are made by community, supporters and company that is involved in Bitcoin Industry.  Bitcoin needs awareness campaign and marketing and advertisement is the answer to it.

Lack of knowledge and trust is the obvious reason why people are hindered into investing to Bitcoin.  Another one is lack of money to invest.

If you are asking us about our biggest fear, on my part when I was starting with cryptocurrency, my biggest fear is to suffer losses on my investment.  Since I am new to the industry, I am yet aware about the market practice.  An indepth research will not remove that fear, after all researches never remove the risk involved in an investment.  It can help minimize but will never remove the risk in investment.

Government cannot censor the Bitcoin network because it is decentralized and there is no base of operation where they can barge in and confiscate everything and imprison people who are on the vicinity.  But Government has the power to ban Bitcoin and implement law that can arrest people who are engaging with Bitcoin trading.  That is the sad reality. Government still has the authority in its jurisdiction.  Besides, the government can control the centralized exchanges where most people are trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Our freedom with Bitcoin is limited within the Bitcoin Network, when it pass through centralized exchanges to convert it to cash or trade it to other cryptocurrency, the freedom is compromised because centralized exchanges are subject to government regulation.

You can always invest on newly created cryptocurrency,   I bet there will always be a newly created cryptocurrency even after your great great granddaughter bear his last child. Leave bitcoin be, if you don't want a 95% mined cryptocurrency you can always check the altcoin section of this forum and or join a tg that announces newly launch project.   I do not think Bitcoin developers will recreate Bitcoin, if they plan to, I think it won't be called Bitcoin anymore since there is only one Bitcoin, any copy or fork will be an altcoin.


I hope the central bank will think like this, buying all Bitcoin and see if they can really accumulate 100% of actively circulating coins.


For OP it is unfair because Satoshi doesn't wait for him to know Bitcoin before start mining and launching it.    @OP if you think Satoshi is so unfair for you then you can always skip investing in Bitcoin and you are free to choose any cryptocurrency that is yet to be launched so that you can feel your sense of fair mining.  Nothing is forcing you to engage in Bitcoin investment so feel free to look for alternative if you don't like the system when Bitcoin was introduced to people.

Just like what Nathan Rothschild stated,  "the time to buy is when there's blood in the street".  This is taking advantage of the market crash hoping that the market will recover one day.  This is what they called contrarian investing[1] meaning the worse off the market, the better the opportunities in the market.

This is one of the investing strategy on a proven cyclical market just like Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is the best investment venture for the contrarians because as we observe, Bitcoin is cyclical and they can often apply the ideology stated by Nathan Rothschild during the bear market and take profit when Bitcoin bull market rally.  This is why aside from DCA, whales tends to scoop large amount of BTC in a conservative way when market is crashing.  They take advantage of the fear of people and panic selling of weak hands to accumulate more BTC.

This happen because Bitcoin has direct impact on the whole cryptocurrency.  When Bitcoin is doing well it can attract new investors which can even give new investors to other cryptocurrency which can give an increased demand to other cryptocurrency.   Although some altcoin market move independently in most cases, they are still affected when Bitcoin become bullish because the hype of Bitcoin is spread out to the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

That parade is one creative way of warning its community on the effect of gambling but why is it that I think that it would have rather a reverse effect that instead of making audience see the negative effect of gambling, they will be enticed to play gambling because the slots game is greatly highlighted while the effect is overshadowed by the slot presentation.  It would give a better result if the coordinator of the parade give readable hand-out on the negative effect of gambling.

I believe that kind of gambling awareness parade will not give a satisfactory impact on preventing people to gamble.

As far as I know Bitcoin investors are people who spend money to acquire Bitcoin in aim to make profit from it in the future.  Whether they are good investors or not depends on their action but I do not think you can only be label as Bitcoin investor if you are well-experienced and have good patience. From the context of the meaning of investor


It does not say that they need to be well-experienced and have patience in order to be identified as one.  Of course there are these labels to investors such as good investor, bad investors, newbie investor etc...

They can be, since they are able to minimize the risk involved in a certain investment.  If someone understand the high risk and is able to mitigate this high risk can be said to be a great smart or wise investor.  One of this kind investor is warren Buffet where he invested on the failing company and be able to rake huge profit from them.

That is because the Bitcoin network is starting to normalized when you share your experience with your colleages.  Right now the transaction fee is almost back to normal with at least 15 sat/vb being accepted on the blocks.  Viabtc accelerator won't process any transaction that has too low transaction fee.  It so happen that your friends transaction fee is acceptible in the network thus I don't see any magic when you say Viabtc accelerator do the trick.

This is because our brain can easily recognize patterns.  The way the seedphrase is memorized and practiced, our brain conceive it as a pattern so when we try to make it in random, the pattern in our brain is broken thus we have hard time remembering the next word.


I agree, if our brain develop a pattern on the seed pharse it is much easier to remember because it all needs is the initial string and the next will automatically follow.  But obviously people brain has limit.  Memorizing is good for those who have high retentivity but bad to those who are not.  There are also cases where the brains deteriorates and start forgetting things.  This is disastrous to those who rely on their memories for important things.  So to be sure about not forgetting things, a more reliable back up is needed.

I am in doubt that the Bitcoin market will touch $20k, I also think that the market will start to recover since the problem with TX fee is somehow diminishing.  This may change the bearish sentiment into bullish because transacting with Bitcoin will go back to normal again.  But in case it did @OP would benefits a lot in this scenario since he can reaccumulate his holdings and will have a better position and more holdings assuming he shorted and use both the fund and profit to reaccumulate Bitcoin if ever it dips more.

All digital transaction is limited by having no internet and Bitcoin is not different from them.  Since Bitcoin thrives in an online environment, it cannot perform its function when deprived of the internet.  Although there are some ways of transferring Bitcoin outside its standard means, it is more troublesome and possess risk in the process.  The good thing is this limitation is shared by many other digital  system like e-banking, CBDC  and other online commerce, it is more likely that this limitation can't be exploited by the anti-Bitcoin group.
