I think these decisions are in line with the expectations of those who are realistic about the physically-based BTC ETF. This is simply something we will have to wait a little longer for, because the SEC will simply not allow itself to approve such an instrument until they are 100% sure that they will be able to implement all possible mechanisms to prevent market manipulation.

Although I don't know if such a thing is possible at all, because who can prevent the volatility that has become one of the trademarks associated with Bitcoin. If I had to bet on a date, then I would say that Q4 2024 is the ideal period for approval - halving + ETF = big bang

There is nothing complicated about what happened in 1991 and after, everything is publicly available and everyone knows that no country attacked Serbia at that time, and that Serbia committed horrific crimes that you still do not admit - how many children were killed by Croats in Serbia, how many churches and houses were demolished in your country? Then at least 90% of Serbs were for the war, today 90% of Serbs are for Russia - and you have the same people in power who committed crimes in 1991 - which speaks volumes about how much you have changed.


You call your president and prime minister keyboard warriors? Well, they openly support the annexation of Republika Srpska, which was created on the basis of ethnic cleansing - and if it is not the appropriation of someone else's territory, then I don't know what to call it - and let's not forget what is happening with Montenegro.

I have not yet met a Serb (from Serbia) who will admit that they as a people have done anything wrong - 402 graves of innocent children in my country are a fabrication for them, and the same attitude will be in Russia towards all Ukrainian victims.

Some natural inflation is quite normal and expected, and the average person will certainly not feel it too much on his skin if his government adjusts wages to rising inflation. Some 10 years ago, the price of 1 kg of bananas in my country was about 0.7 EUR, today it is about 1.4 EUR, which means that it has doubled - but the average salary has more than doubled, so no one complains about the price of bananas.

The problem is when the price literally jumps by 100% overnight, so the price of 1 liter of sunflower oil is now just under 3 EUR, and until recently it was half as low. No country can solve this problem in the short term, which means that purchasing power is drastically reduced, and people have to give up a lot of things to survive. The pandemic and economic policies of most countries of the world are paying off, and on top of all that, Russia's aggression against Ukraine is making the situation even worse.

I'm not a pessimistic person, but hard days are ahead of us - luckily for those who were intelligent enough to invest in Bitcoin, things will still be a little easier than for the average man who is completely addicted to fiat.

I would agree with you, even though people have all sorts of weird habits that make sense to further protect their HW. This especially makes sense for those who keep such a device within the reach of children or pets, and then screen protection would be welcome - although it would make more sense to have a metal housing for extra protection.

Anyway, this is what an HW looks like when a dog plays with it

Maybe the problem is that El Salvador is one of the countries that refused to condemn Russia for its aggression against Ukraine. I have already commented in the main ES thread that there is some reason for such a political position, and we can only speculate about what it is about. Is it that they estimate that most investors will turn their backs on them, or are they counting on Russian capital, which is now blocked?

I never believed in that kind of luck, I was more for sports betting - but I was only successful there when I realized I had to turn the odds in my favor to win. Either way, a thick line needs to be drawn between entertainment and business, which is also true for crypto trading.


If we believe the researchs, they say that only 5% of people are successful in crypto trading, which does not mean that the rest are constantly losing money, they simply give up after a while. Being successful in something is not just a matter of luck, money, or talent, but most of all perseverance and determination. I hope that the OP will eventually be among that 5% of successful traders.

It seems that we have, but they are not official yet - it seems that one violation of the rules is no longer enough, something will happen after you report 4-5 posts from the same user. To make matters even more complicated, this member is active only in the Gambling board, and this board is even productive for those who promote their referral links.

What is happening in Ukraine has nothing to do with what happened in Serbia in 1999, and is the result of several bloody wars that Serbia has started in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and finally Kosovo. If you wanted a comparison, then you should have mentioned how Serbia, as a superior enemy, attacked Croatia, occupied a third of the country and killed over 400 innocent children in its bloody campaign, and the horrors that followed in Bosnia and Herzegovina are the worst crimes against humanity since 1945. People like President Vucic have personally participated in these crimes and are still in power.


I would not agree with that, most Serbs support Russia and the current regime, just as they continued to support the creation of a Big Serbia in 1991, and today they have a project of the Serbian world - in other words, nothing has changed in the past 30 years - Serbia still aspires to the territories of neighboring countries.

I just wanted to be sarcastic with my post and point out how pointless such topics are - because everything we can say on this topic will not make anyone a little smarter. I wouldn’t so much emphasize the question “how much Bitcoin has been lost so far”, but the much more important question is how many people are actually lost in the crypto world? I would estimate that number is much higher than 19 or 21 million, which is actually a real tragedy...

What this topic is missing is speculation on how much BTC has been lost so far - is it 2 or maybe 4 million BTC? Will there be enough BTC for everyone when all the millionaires decide to buy at least 1 BTC? Oh no, Satoshi was wrong and should have set 210 million BTC instead of 21 million - and what if he comes back and does just that😱

Don't worry, he will certainly be very considerate in that case and will not tell anyone that he has sold (OTC)🤑. Who knows, maybe he'll change his mind again🤠

Stop shilling links from that worthless site, and take some time to learn a few basic English words

The title says "Crypto users in Africa grew by 2,500% in 2021", but the report talks about an increase in crypto transactions "A recent report by KuCoin reveals that the number of crypto transactions has increased by 2,670% in some African countries"

In any case, I don't see things like this as something that should be taken for granted, but more as self-promotion. Some Johhny said this to some shitty crypto media that will make some money from all those who believe in such fairy tales, a win-win situation for both and Africa has gained several million new crypto users

It's amazing what people are building a story about, a prince on paper who is still imagining a kingdom in which Bitcoin is likely to be the main currency. We had a little discussion a few days ago in the WO, and I was hoping we wouldn't have a topic like this in the BD - now I'm just waiting for someone to find out the price went up because of the prince

Given his (political) views, care should be taken that the current government does not attack him more than is currently the case (verbally). Their absolute leader (the Balkan version of Putin) killed people for fun 30 years ago, and if the prince gets involved in politics, it will not go well.

Why do you even spend time looking at what you have in the spam folder? Such e-mails are mostly there for a reason, and are usually automatically deleted after a while. No one will give you 0.1 or 0.5 BTC, but the people behind these messages know that they will always catch someone naive who will believe in such things.

It is always wise to have a few emails that we can categorize into several categories:

• Personal email for family and close friends.
• Business e-mail related to our business.
• E-mail for online orders, registration on trusted sites.
• Email for everything related to cryptocurrencies.

Each e-mail should have a unique password composed of at least 10+ characters (lowercase/uppercase letters, numbers, special characters). For better privacy and security, ProtonMail is recommended.

In today's world, every customer is important and the more payment methods someone implements, the more customers they will have, which is a fairly simple philosophy. I think that in the process, many are afraid of the volatility that Bitcoin has and do not want to take risks, and are not aware that there are payment processors that act as intermediaries. In doing so, I don’t think this is the ideal way to pay with BTC, but it’s hard to imagine that it could work any differently at the moment.

As I have already given some examples, is anyone maybe for haircuts and shaving, paying in BTC of course

It seems like something similar to what happened to Tonga and some of their lord who advocated Bitcoin, although I don’t want to claim that both politicians are equally important in their countries. Whether we like it or not, some people will benefit from this kind of news, because for months people have been profiting from "buy low, sell high" in the range of $35k - $45k, and everyone wants something positive to happen since on the one hand we have a war, and on the other hand inflation is just beginning to seriously stifle us.


As for the theft of electricity, there is no doubt - theft is theft no matter what status Bitcoin had in a country. I was thinking more of the general perception of the public because of such events combined with what their finance minister thinks when it comes to Bitcoin. All this together does not seem to be a fertile ground for declaring Bitcoin a legal tender.


I've never bought anything using Amazon, and I don't use any poisons for my personal use in growing fruits and vegetables - and yet I manage to grow healthy vegetables and fruits. There is always an alternative if one makes an effort, but I will not say that this path is easy or cheap.

If there is nothing we do not know, then the market has reacted to the news about Honduras and Malaysia, although it is still only unconfirmed rumors about Honduras, and Malaysia is currently a desolate wish of a less important politician. However, as it seems from some previous news, interest in Bitcoin, but also other altcoins in Honduras is present - and last year the first crypto ATM is placed.

Given the remittances coming from the US each year ($5.7 billion - 2020), perhaps the Honduran president thought Bitcoins would be arriving in the country instead of $.

Well, what he wrote is on the level of a slightly more intelligent child in primary school after someone would explain to him how the crypto market works. Every year you just write as many tweets as you can and one day you might be able to say "I was right", maybe at least in part.

I wonder if there is any speculation for 2024, or Popay thinks it will no longer play any role? Maybe it’s time for a new can of spinach

My comment from BD gives a slightly better picture of who and what thinks in that country.




I heard that the news could be published at the crypto conference in Miami at the earliest, but I don't mind it happening tomorrow
