How can you define in yourself the financial freedom that you wanted or might one of us want?
IMO, this financial freedom means having enough passive income to cover your living expenses without having to work for it actively.  So it means you need to have a stable job to have a stable source of income.  That's the real meaning of financial freedom.

Bitcoin isn't a magic solution to financial freedom.
It's just one tool that you can use to achieve your financial goals.  You still need to have a solid financial plan in place, manage your expenses wisely, and invest in a diversified portfolio.  It can potentially give you the life you dreamed of as a child, but it's not a guaranteed path to financial freedom.  It's just the same on fiat that you've got full control of your asset without controlling the third party like central banks, that's only the advantage.

Haha, it's funny and you got him busted with this which is clearly not saying the truth.
It might OP means it was back in April 2013 when Bitcoin first reached a price of $100, not in 2008 which at that time don't have an exchange market to buy Bitcoin.  How come @OP huh...?

I've been for years in crypto but until now I didn't have even a single number of Bitcoin.
If you have that large amount now, might you also suspect money laundering when you exchange it into fiat, it's very risky either.

Of course, cut your profit off and re-invest.
But I don't believe that much, if Ethereum will increase it will do the same on the Bitcoin side which I plan to hold much.

IMO, predictions are just that, predictions and no one can guarantee a 100% success rate result.
By determining potential outcomes in advance or what's in the future, you can make informed decisions and maximize profits.  Considering both short-term and long-term has possibilities when developing your plan.

Here are the websites that you can choose from, besides, others were already given above.

• https://coinmarketcap.com/
• https://www.tradingview.com/
• https://www.coingecko.com/
• https://www.coinbase.com/charts

Just choose which is best for you and have the option to compare individual coin pairs.
What I like most is Tradingview because it has a lot of tools and features that you can use while comparing prices or having price analysis in trading.

A perfect way to minimize risk and possibly avoid losses.

• Holding long-term
• Do DCA in purchasing Bitcoin

The main reason people hold Bitcoin in the long term is the potential for price appreciation because Bitcoin has historically had significant price increases over time, and some investors believe that this trend will continue in the future until it will make again an all-time high or ATH.

Just watch this, How Debt Get You Rich | Robert Kiyosaki.

See, borrowing isn't bad as long as you know how to manage it and I did the same, I have also a debt but I manage to become wealthy someday.
Because I believe that debt can be a tool for creating wealth, it's important to approach it with caution and only take on debt if you have a solid plan for using it to generate income and grow your investments.

I realize that it would have been smarter to only borrow money if I had a clear plan to use it in a way that could help me make more money in the long run, such as starting a business or investing in a property that generates profit.  Borrowing for things like vacations, entertainment, or non-necessary purchases is generally not a good idea and can lead to unnecessary debt.

I tend to agree with the OP.
I've been years joining signature campaigns but to be honest, I didn't have Bitcoin in my wallet, I spend most of the time when I needed it.

Don't hesitate to invest when it comes to your health.
But don't feed too much yourself it should balance between enjoying the present and preparing for the future.  By practicing self-control and wise spending habits, you can ensure that you aren't sacrificing your current quality of life while still investing in your future financial stability.  Being financially prepared can also provide a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that you have a safety net to fall back on in case of unexpected events in the future.  So IMO, it's important to find a healthy balance between spending and saving to secure a stable financial future for yourself.

All I can say is spend wisely your Bitcoin.

Is that really safe?

IMO, if you've doubted that it has been tampered with, it's better not to use that hardware wallet at all.
There are several signs that you can determine a tampered hardware wallet, has physical damage on the item.  For example on Trezor device, has a holographic seal with the Trezor logo that covers the USB port and the edges of the device. The seal has a unique serial number that can be verified on the Trezor website to confirm its authenticity.

The Ledger wallet has a tamper-evident seal that covers the USB port and the edges of the device.
The seal has a unique QR code that can be scanned using the Ledger Live app to verify its authenticity.

So be careful and it should be on the official site for less worry.

There's no point sharing the amount of crypto that you're holding even if that is your friend and your relatives, except the one who you trust most, for example, your partner in life or your parents.  I'd rather keep it private for the seek of privacy because we know every valuable stuff is very hot for greedy people.

I tend to agree with all of these, teach them if they wanted to seek information regarding Bitcoin but don't show to them your entire balance.

Upon having a short research this is what I've found.  Italy became the first Western country to ban ChatGPT
Upon reading that article, not only Italy but also other countries have been increased or other plans to increase restriction reading AI projects. 
Centralized or Decentralized systems can still be subject to legal and regulatory frameworks.  It might possible that new regulations could be developed specifically targeting decentralized AI technologies.

But this question is still on my mind, I didn't see any official announcement, better to seek out official information and sources before jumping to conclusions because this is only a rumor.

First, educate them, if someone showed interest it's a good sign to convince them, it's important to educate skeptical individuals about the benefits and risks of Bitcoin so that they can make an informed decision.  Because if you insist, it might someday when they will fail they will surely blame you in the future.

Let them decide on their own, at least they know already the pros and cons of Bitcoin investment.
Because these kinds of people are usually wasting time because they have an attitude of not easily believing.  Because when dealing with a skeptical person, it's important to listen to their concerns and address them with accurate information.  Be patient and understanding, and avoid being overly pushy or aggressive in trying to convince them.  Respect their decision and not pressure them into investing in something they're not comfortable with.

Every transaction successfully made on the Electrum wallet it will automatically change and generate a new address, there's an "input" and "output" address, and it will generate another address after the transaction.  If Bob will reuse the same address you can easily determine the transaction that comes from him, so focus on the "output" transaction because that is how you'll determine where it comes from.  Electrum Wallet has this more privacy feature and the reason I liked it most.

You can check the transaction ID through blockchair.com you'll see there the Senders and the Recipients addresses.

Based on the video you've shared, you lose, nothing else.

Dont blame them if you lose, that's your fault.

So what do you expect?  After playing slot then if you lose your money will back?

All stated above was right and I tend to agree, there are too many too of them if we mention them one by one.
The most important thing is that we understand how Bitcoin will work and how to secure it.  Know how to manage your risk and investment responsibly, leading to a happier life.

Always remember these.

• Invest what you can afford
• Not you key, Not you coins

It's very important that connect all mentioned above.

All you've asked was on this section and it's on the sticky threads (pinned post), just read them and I'm sure it will boost your knowledge, believe me, if you spend more time in reading than posting, you can build up enough information as what you're looking for.  Always remember to read the forum rules and guidelines so that you will know the dos and dont's.

I'm glad to know Bitcoin is legal in your place, to gather more information about Bitcoin, aside from this forum, this article is worth it to read.
https://bitcoin.org/en/
It supports many languages and all the basic information about Bitcoin was there.

IMO, yes it is.
Because different programming languages have different levels of strengths and weaknesses or could be pros and cons, and each one is suited to specific use cases.  For example, Python is good for building prototypes and proof of concepts due to its simplicity and ease of use and C++ is usually used in blockchain development because it provides fast and efficient performance or is used for core development in Bitcoin.  So as a beginner, go for Phytoon which is an ideal choice.

Ain't an expert in coding but I think you need a mentor for this or DYOR is always the best move here.

It could be a threat to shut down all altcoins but not Bitcoin, due to its decentralized nature of it we can use DEXs.

It could have an impact on the market but if it doesn't it will stop or shut down, still, we have a second option to use DEX.
CEXs are only good for liquidity and DEXs for privacy but as of now let's enjoy using them with their different features.

IMO, regulations can vary widely from country to country, some are embracing crypto to make it legal tender while others banning or have heavy regulation towards crypto.  So the decision could be an eye on the government and it depends on their jurisdictions, we can't generalize them all.

Yes, that's possible and it could be a lucrative way to earn income.
But that isn't ideal if you only rely on day trading without a stable source of income, which can involve significant risks and it requires a great deal of knowledge, skill, and experience to be successful, and even experienced traders can have losing days.

I disagree that day trading is a perfect way for jobless people, it's too risky for them without a stable source of income.
Still a good decision to have a traditional job and look for more resources and start trading for another source of income.  Because trading may not be the best fit for everyone.

Investing with a small fraction of Bitcoin but not in trading.
If that $10 is the amount that you can afford, there's no problem, you can continue purchasing with a DCA way, just like $10 for now, and the other week when there's a price correction you will invest again in $10 until it will become a large amount.

That's why a fraction is purchasing Bitcoin, but be careful in purchasing and always read the terms on the exchange platform that you will use.
Because there's a minimum required before you can withdraw your Bitcoin.

Haha, we're the same, due to my consciousness I read it first on the meta section and find an answer to my questions.
You should do the same, and spend more time reading than posting, this is an ideal way for a newbie not to violate rules and regulations or go with the flow of April Fools Day.

But appreciate that as a newbie you're concerned about the forum rules, just enjoy the game resolving the captcha and enjoy the last remaining time of April Fools Day.
