I keep wondering what all the other big world companies are waiting for, because everything that happens has to do with US based companies. Except for one big UK company that has invested some significant funds, everything else that comes from outside the US is just dust - same as this investment of only some $60 million, although I guess it's just the beginning of an unknown amount (for me) that will be invested in BTC.
-snip-
Im with you on this Lucius, im wondering the same, its mostly US based companies who are sinking the biggest amounts into Bitcoin. Why are European, African and Asian wealthy companies not going the same route? Is is just that we are not being informed? |

This is pretty much following what PlanB's stock to flow chart analysis predicts, which is all good.
But is there really going to be a crash? I mean the market or scene has changed from the 2017 to
2018 correction, its not all OTC investors now, there are serious Hodlers in Bitcoin who say they
wont be selling.

All of us are talking about this bull run is encouraged by institutions.
Suppose as an individual, will you sell your bitcoins at a good price or just hold them?
What exactly are you doing? are you trading or do you want to get out or are you selling because you need to buy something? Why $54k? If you are trading and asking this question you shouldnt be trading. you should be able to read the charts and various signals and make an informed trade. Coming on the forum and asking 1,000,000 people what they would do doesnt make sense, you will get predominantly HODL as the answer. |

I guess this answers your question ..and I quote from your article : " Money management app Revolut, which provides crypto trading as part of its wide range of services, stated that it has seen around 300,000 new digital asset customers during the past 30 days. That is certainly a lot of new customers within a short time period.  I know some people that are using Luno.com and they are very satisfied with their services... but I do not know if they cover the US and EU countries.  (Look like they are targeting the 3rd world markets) The younger generation is APP driven, so if a service can be accessed on their phones ...then it will draw their attention.  Indeed, life is really centered around the smartphone. I have an idea! i'm going to buy her a Ledger Nano S and an OTG cable. [I use this myself] 1. she gets to take control of her Bitcoin [she revolutes me the FIAT, I buy and transfer it to her Ledger]
2. she gets to interact with her Bitcoin on her phone throught the Ledger app |

Yes it seems like New Zealand are really at the pinnacle of the sport at the moment. 3 years ahead in innovation is unbelievable, is there any other sport which has one team so far ahead of its rivals? F1's Mercedes perhaps - but not many teams besides I guess. Here is an interesting article from France24 Headline with some quotes below. 'Like facing All Blacks' - Luna Rossa take on Team NZ for America's Cup ...nautical showdown where the result relies on technological gains as much as sailing prowess. The New Zealanders have remained at the forefront of research and development, making them short-priced favourites in the best-of-13 America's Cup final. "To be able to race Team New Zealand on (their) home waters, it's a lot like a rugby player getting to go on the rugby field against the All Blacks at Eden Park in a Rugby World Cup final," |

I dont know a lot about Rugby league.
The Panthers look like the team to beat from the sportsbet pricing followed
by a few more, Rabbitohs, Roosters and Storm [winning the 2020 final]
and looks like the first match of round one is a crunch match
Storm v Rabbitohs
I might try watch this and get an understanding for the game, if I can find
some channel? or maybe the highlights somewhere.

I cannot see anything about Bitcoin from the OP.
To answer the thread title, yes Paypal will be a big player in Bitcoin.
Its only a matter of time before they offer their Bitcoin services globally,
expanded from US customers.

"Rich dad poor dad" was OK,but everything else Kiyosaki does just seems sketchy.
He is more like a conman rather than a legit writer.His books are more into the self-help niche,rather than actual guides about finance and economy.
Books about "how to become rich" are always funny to me,because there's no guaranteed formula,that will make anyone rich. Writing a book could certainly help, especially when it involves money. "Rich dad poor dad" was all about gaining more income generating assets and dumping the expense generating liabilities.I like that idea,but "spend less than you earn" is just common sense.Everyone with a brain and an IQ above 90 should know that without reading books. Not everyone practices this, actually the vast majority dont. We are all bombarded with "buy me" adverts for stuff we dont actually need. I never read the book but can I add the below? Definition of Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.Do something different - buy Bitcoin |

Im just addressing the "scarcity" point people always make. Because if it was capped at 21 trillion and was still being mined at the same rate, 21 million wouldn't make it any scarcer.
btw of course i love BTC and the current inflation rate is working well, i believe. Just making a point to hear what others think.
If the scarcity rate would remain at the same there really would be no benefit. We are all familiar with how it works now, the only people critising the 21,000,000 supply are the non believers who count Bitcoin in Satoshi's and state Bitcoin isnt scarce because its divisible by 8. |

and my question is, What would be the point?
if as you state it would amount to being the same why prolong it to 9140?
The OP must have a motive for this idea.

Thank you again Brainboss.
Campaign members should be aware that Lightlord makes payments in blocks.
Payments WILL be received at some point after they are announced and it could be
anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks after the announcement.
Treat this post as an insight an please be patient, if you are in crypto patience
is a necessary skill.

Hardware wallets are the way to go. (tip)Make sure you purchase from the official website, as in the Manufacturer (tip)Make sure to record and secure the private seed for the wallet. I use both Trezor and Ledger. I use the Trezor for my long term holding and the ledger for more regular movement of crypto. I do this with my smartphone with the Ledger app installed and an OTG cable. To move your coins off the exchange all you need is an address from the hardware wallet.

Today I finally got response from claim portal. I lost hope after 2 months but it seems that they really respond to the tickets.
This is a very positive update and shows they are still working through all the claim applications, like myself I'm sure there were "late claims". I havent had any correspondence in over a month but from this news I'm not panicking just yet. |

Q. Why would you have Bitcoin on an exchange (other than having
nowhere else to store it)?
A. because you are going to sell or trade it in the very near future.
Q. Why would you take it off an exchange?
A. Because you are not planning on selling or trading it in the short to
medium term at the least.
More and more people are practicing the art of HODL, and are looking to
the long term, same as what Michael Saylor is preaching. Combine this
with only 6.25 Bitcoin being generated per block, 900 per day it kind of
creates a shortage.

This shows that Microstrategy are buying and not selling.
They are buying to safeguard their wealth from FIAT, why would they sell back
into the very thing they are trying to escape.
This bull run may actually become the norm because of these high level investors
who are planning on holding for years to come (generally).

I'm not a U.S citizen so I dont concern myself with the tax laws there. I hope this resource from coinbase helps as well as Charles-tim's links above. 2020 tax guide: crypto and Bitcoin in the U.S.
Did you buy, sell, use, or trade crypto? If so, you may owe taxes if you’re a US taxpayer. Topics covered: 1.1 Do I have to pay crypto taxes? 2.1 Determine if you owe crypto taxes 2.2 Calculate gains and losses 2.3 consult a tax professional 2.4 Prepare your forms 2.5 File your taxes |

Very well done Charles-tim, there are many high ranking usernames which appear
on the forum which I dont recognise and ive been on the forum since 2017, but you
are a familiar member, you are a good asset to the forum and are getting rewarded.

This is the exact thing I would do — hold her by the hand. It's not enough that she's showing interest in Bitcoin, you have to make that interest worth its while for her. She can easily get distracted once she ignorantly falls victim of hack or scam. As her father and a veteran member of a Bitcoin forum you just got your first close ardent Bitcoin disciple. So, make it count. Don't be a distant observer to her. I don't think monitoring and directing her on this will be counted as infringing on her privacy or freedom if that's what you're worried about. I can agree with you in a certain way but being a doting parent won't help if you are trying to teach your children these things, especially the boring details. You had been a young one once, so you know how stubborn they are if they want to get in their way. Take it slow and just teach them the ropes in a way that isn't overwhelming her ideas. this is my approach, i have already planted a number of seeds about Bitcoin education, Bitcoin ownership and being security conscious. Over time those seeds will germinate and she will look for more from Bitcoin. The primary thing is that she has become involved in a very light way for the moment, as we progress through this bull market hopefully her taste for Bitcoin will develop |

I dud I explained the differences between custodial services and wallets and taking ownership
of Bitcoin but you know not everyone wants to get so involved some people like the convenience
that the likes of Revolut provide.
Maybe in time these younger generations will want more than just an app on their phones.
