The problem is that at that time, bitcoin is just some hobby that you forgot about and I probably would've done the same thing as you with that flash drive, I mean if you don't got a utility at the moment for something, you'll almost always going to end up discarding them, that's how it goes with things like this so make sure that if you want to keep something, make sure that you're not keeping it just for the sake of keeping it, you need to have a purpose for keeping that in thing in your person, right now or in the present, if that doesn't satisfy those categories, discard it. There's also the possibility that you might not even be able to open it since it's abandoned and there's the possibility that it's probably obsolete and that it's damaged by the elements that you're probably going to see that it wouldn't be working anymore. Oh well, I guess another 100 bitcoin is gone and down into the abyss thus increasing the value of it even more, thank you for your involuntary sacrifice OP.

Bitcoin becoming legal tender is the stuff of miracles if I am being honest with you op. There are so many variables due to which the possibility of it happening is pretty much zero which is a fact.

It's best not to get too greedy. Personally, I am completely satisfied with where BTC is at the moment and I hope it stays that way for a long period.

The opportunity for Real madrid to secure the trophy is wide open because their closest competitors are completely unable to show their consistency in competing for the title. In week 29, Real madrid won full points while Girona lost points, which shows the instability of Girona performance making the distance between the two points even greater. For Real madrid, of course they will lock up the title early if they see their quite impressive performance in every match they play.

Girona defeat certainly opens up opportunities for Barcelona to overtake them. Xavi squad will play tomorrow where Barcelona will visit Atletico madrid headquarters. I think this match is quite tough but if Barcelona focuses well I think they can take advantage of the opportunity to get full points and move up to 2nd place. Apart from that I see the team The teams fighting for position 4 are increasingly fierce where Bilbao and Atletico Madrid continue to compete to secure their position.

In the last few games Bayern seems to have gone back to the old days where they scored a lot of goals. It's funny that Bayern's management and many people started to criticize Bayern's coach when a few rounds ago Bayern was going through a period of some defeats and I was constantly saying that people were being too hasty in their criticism because Bayern's coach is good coach and he just needed more time for him to get control over the team and we are seeing that now, but Bayern's management, who want results very quickly, chose to fire the coach and kept threatening the coach with things like in case the team If they don't win in the next game then the coach will be fired

I'm wondering what the stance of Bayern's management must be at this moment, whether they will stick to the coach's decision to be fired at the end of this season or whether they will go back on this decision, the question will also be whether if they go back on their decision If the coach will agree to continue as Bayern's coach, I have constantly heard rumors that Bayern's management want to hire Leverkusen's coach, I hope they are aware that the fact that a coach achieves the feats that Leverkusen is achieving does not mean That same coach will be able to achieve the same feat at Bayern, in my opinion he will not be able to do so.

And talking about Leverkusen, they will have a complicated game, their opponent in the last 5 games lost in 2 games, drew in 2 games and won in just one game. The problem is that it is an opponent that they beat in the last game, which could be giving the impression that it is a team that despite having a bad performance, they are recovering, in games like these it is very likely that they will end in a draw, but I hope that Leverkusen can win in this game

I see that the last few seasons have been seasons where clubs from Italy have risen. They seemed to have rediscovered a path that could bring them success again in Europe. This season Inter Milan performed very well, but unfortunately they had to fail in the round of 16 because they lost to Atletico Madrid and they had to end their journey in the Champions League.

Regarding AC Milan, they are also slowly finding their condition, although they are still showing a lot of things they shouldn't show. They still show inconsistencies to this day, but I'm sure they will be better in the future.

Juventus is also slowly starting to improve now, but they had several problems last season which prevented them from being able to compete in European competitions. I hope they can learn from their mistakes in the past, because if I'm not mistaken this is not the first time this has happened to them. Juventus must be able to fix this, because that is what has been hampering them lately. Management must be able to improve.

Speculation about Osimhen continues to circulate after previously PSG were linked with Osimhen, but now speculation continues to widen and interesting after Premier League teams also expressed their interest in Osimhen, as far as I do not see any definite moves to get Osimhen from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, I personally see all three teams may be very capable of making up for the high price requested by Napoli,  But it seems that these three teams are no longer an attraction for players like Osimhen at the moment, let's look at Chelsea who have not even been able to finish in the Conference League this season, while Manchester United frankly their performance is not better than Chelsea at this time, And Arsenal, although they are now competing for the title but their mentality is currently untested to win the title and as we know if all this time they do not want to spend a lot of money to buy players.  

The only alternative to all the possibilities that exist at the moment is of course PSG is the right club for Osimhen, returning to Ligue 1 does not seem to be a difficulty for Osimhen, especially before Osimhen had played for Lille, so it did not take long for Osimhen to adapt, of all the clubs that exist at this time it seems that only PSG is able to provide good offers and opportunities for Osimhen to continue his career in the future.

Perhaps, I didn't find this thread early enough but I will have to contribute my perception of Bitcoin.

On a personal level, Bitcoin is a paradigm that has shifted the thoughts of people from being centralized to a decentralized system, which the government is against. perhaps because they feel unsecured that they can't accomplish their selfishness because alot of people are not longer interested to be controlled by a government that is only concerned about their own well being and not the the well being out the people.

Bitcoin was created to by Satoshi Nakamoto in order to take financial freedom from some group of elites who call themselves governments to the ordinary citizens to be financially free. Bitcoin is a currency that allows me and you to have control of our financial life and not to be controlled by centralized authorities (government).

Bitcoin is freedom...

Profiting of BTC holders can be from luck.  I cannot deny that the possibility of being lucky is the reason why some holders profit from Bitcoin.  Like when they engage in the Bitcoin market, after they buy their holdings and the market starts pumping.

But majority of Bitcoin holders who profits from Bitcoin  oftens have plans and studied the Bitcoin market, making them find opening position and buy Bitcoin at lower price and knowing the possible advantageous closing position and selling at a profit.

So I believe it is the combination of luck and wit that enable BTC holder to profit from Bitcoin.

I have watched some videos that you can use it to pay services despite that many citizens still not aware of what btc is.
The one that I have seen is able to purchase from the locals and pay it with btc and get to pay the bills. Just like us, they're normally using it with anything that we can purchase with it despite not being there physically.

That 3k+ per Bitcoin would have never happened if COVID never took place, it felt like it's the end of the world was coming to an end and people panicked.

If covid never happened we would have never seen that 3k+ for Bitcoin at the time, only handful of smart investors took advantage of the low price and pressed the buy button.

It did felt like the world was coming to an end, death news here and there, total lockdown everywhere, it was a very scary time, by the way, the actual value of Bitcoin then was over $3,000, I believe it was $3500 or $3700.

Chelsea will theoretically be able to afford Victor Osimhen in the summer, but the transfer would require a major sacrifice, according to a report.
The Nigerian sharpshooter has become the Blues' top target for the upcoming transfer window. Osimhen has long since been one of Europe's most prolific number nines and Chelsea hope that his goals would be able to catapult them back into relevance.
Signing Osimhen will be anything but straightforward, however. The Napoli striker recently extended his deal by a year, adding a €130 million release clause to his contract. In addition to his hefty price tag, there is the issue of Chelsea being, well, not very good.

Looking at the results, it seems the majority is correct in predicting that we are going to hit above $71k. But for me this is just the beginning, we are not even in the block halving and yet we have established new all time high already.

So we might be seeing $100k at the end of the year. I remember the last bull run or at least the halving year in 2020. We never thought that we can crossed $50k at that was the prediction before. If history going to repeat itself, I have no doubt that 6 digits is going to be reach this year alone and in 2025, another parabolic rise and we see the all time high for this bull run.

Sri Lanka were 3 for 43 and the forth wicket went down at 228. Pathum Nissanka scored 114 runs but Charith Asalanka was unlucky to miss century by just 9 runs. Sri Lanka at the moment in comfortable position as they need 31 more runs in 44 balls and still have 4 wickets in hand. With this win the series will be levelled and third ODI will decide fate of this series. Bangladesh team has given a decent target but there bowling is not much effective today.

I don't think $68k is the deep, we saw some days ago how it went down to $61, and at any moment it could have a massive crash, is about a wale deciding to sell a big amount to send it down to $40k, remember there are some early investors who are holding a big amount of BTC, and if any of them decide to sell then the markets will be in pain.

Feels like the party is over, the right way to buy in the deep was 1 year ago when price were down to $16k.

Manchester City and Real Madrid have many chances to play head to head in four latest seasons. Again they will meet each other in this season. Their matches in quarter finals are like an early final match of Champions League 2023 -2024.

Real Madrid are more experienced than Manchester City and  with not too good defense of Manchester City, chance for Real Madrid to have a win after all. Real Madrid with better solution, is perfect for his friends.

Batting against the target of 286 runs given by Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning. But from there Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka led the team to victory. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka played responsible batting. Pathum Nissanka scored 114 runs off 113 balls and Charith Asalanka scored 91 runs off 93 balls. Current score of Sri Lanka team is 238 runs for 5 wickets in 40 overs. Looking at the playing situation of the Sri Lankan team, it seems that they will easily win against Bangladesh in today's match.

How much is a hardware wallet? $100 or $200? And you have seen over 4k dollars turning into 12k? There is no excuse for you to not get a hardware wallet, because you are already risking lots of money on Bitcoin, you need to get one straight away.

You don't have to wait till you have a lot of money before buying a hardware wallet, believe me I was like you, and losing my Bitcoin was when I lost my cool and took out some funds in my crypto wallet to order for a hardware wallet instantly, between a week it was shipped to me.

You want to wait till you lose some assets first? Just like I did? Learn from my mistakes mate, the best route is a hardware wallet, a hardware wallet like Airgapped that's always offline keeps your crypto safer than others.

Hard to say. It's too soon to say that Bitcoin's cyclical price actions are things of the past. We had a huge, new factor added to the mix in the form of spot ETFs, but I think the upcoming halving will also play a big role in shaping up the price. If we don't see any major correction soon, the effect of the halving (even if it's mostly psychological as some claim it to be) could magnify the effects of ETFs and elevate us to much higher levels.

But it's inevitable that the 4-year cycles will go away eventually, that could mean that we won't see massive rallies again, but could also mean no 80% drops afterwards, and we could have a steadier but consistent growth.

Yes, Slavia Prague should not be taken lightly as the key to AC Milan's victory in tonight's match.
Even though they are leading 2-0 on aggregate, this could happen if AC Milan is careless and not focused, especially since Slavia Prague are playing at home, of course there is more motivation for them to be able to equalize or even turn things around.

Even though it's not easy, I'm sure AC Milan can overcome it. If AC Milan loses and fails to advance to the next round, this will be a big blow for the Italian team, because everyone knows that in the Champions League there are no longer representatives from Italy, so I as a Seria A fan hope that the Italian team will win. can advance further in European league competitions
