It's hard for me to believe that I read this and that from someone who is a "Legendary" member of this forum, and does not see any problem in the fact that someone uses AI chat to create posts that he then presents as his own as long as those posts are "pleasing for the discussion".

I would like to ask you if you understand what kind of message you are sending with your post to all those who will read your post and have doubts about AI posts, but I honestly doubt that members who think like you even understand the difference between content that is unique and created by humans and that which is created by artificial intelligence.

Last year's data shows the number of 250+ local merchants accepting Bitcoin (LN) in Boracay, but there is also information that more than 400+ merchants in the Philippines accept BTC through the same platform. The numbers clearly show that there are more and more service providers and sellers who want to add this type of payment, and why not if it will bring them additional profit.

Payment is made via LN and fees do not play any role here, and the one who receives BTC can very easily convert it into the national currency within the application.

However, I would like to point out that you may have forgotten one very important fact that changes with each subsequent halving - and this is because the first era of mining "produced" as much as 50 BTC, and the current one only 6.25 BTC (about 900 BTC per day) which will be reduced by another 50% with the next halving.

That "supply shock" you mention is not something that can have an impact like before, because the 450 BTC that the miners will "produce" will not cause any shocks on the market where we already have 19+ million BTC.


Recently, a member claimed the same thing as you, with the difference that he even mentioned the halving date (which can't be precisely determined anyway) as the best date to buy BTC - but I wonder again if it wasn't better to buy BTC when the price touched the bottom and was under $20 000?

Of course, those who invest only for profit and want to "double their earnings" as quickly as possible have reason to be optimistic - but if they had thought differently based on past events, they could have already earned at least 300% on their investment.

It's easy for people like Dimon to be "intelligent" when the state is behind you and fixing all your mistakes with unlimited money. In a way, it's a perfect job, because no matter how badly you do something, there are always those who will fix it, and you'll also get a promotion.

These days I am reading about the fact that it is being investigated how much Tesla actually cheated on the displayed data on the energy consumption of its vehicles and how much it received incentives from the state based on that data. It's billions of dollars paid by taxpayers for some self-righteous hypocrite to brag about making the world a better place - while at the same time children and their parents work in cobalt mines in Africa for $2 a day for his "green" batteries.

@snuffman8, I personally see no reason why anyone should have a BTC address in their profile, unless they hope to one day receive a generous donation from a secret admirer. I used to have a BTC address in my profile in the past, but it became completely meaningless to me a long time ago - because people don't put their bank account numbers in their social network profiles, do they?

In addition, if you put your address from a centralized crypto exchange, someone could send a "donation" that could only cause you problems, because CEX does not really like coins related to gambling, mixers and anything suspicious according to their criteria.

If you have some disagreements with one or two members who have Legendary rank, I don't see why you should generalize that all Legendary members are the same? Everyone is free to express themselves in this forum in the way they think is appropriate, even if it means using harsher words or even swearing that others may not like.

If someone can't stand someone's posts, there is an "ignore" option that can be of great help.


This is something that makes us human and differentiates us from AI chat bots, and I don't see that you should see anything wrong with that.

Most of us did not take into account that one of the companies that also received approval for the spot ETF has more than 600 000 BTC in its possession, of which it has already sold about 80 000 BTC worth about $3.3 billion. As far as I can see, this is currently the only reason why the price is going down.

As for this insane investment of $500 billion, it has already been explained that it was not about investing in Bitcoin, but about some kind of "crypto project" that was talked about years ago. Besides, does anyone think that it is possible to just buy BTC for that much money when all mined BTC are currently worth just a little less than $800 billion?

The obvious fact that they use alt accounts to create the impression of some kind of meaningful discussion - and when someone does exactly that, it's quite clear how "good" their project is. I have a very bad opinion about people who debate with themselves.

I have no doubt at all that there are a lot of people who are ready to advertise Ledger if it means they will earn $10 or $20, because unfortunately for some it is a significant amount of money. If someone manages to get only 5 referrals, that's already a solid salary in some third world countries.

As for the information about how much money they have already distributed in that way, I would not take it as something serious, because considering the honesty in that company, any information that appears is either incorrect or exaggerated. Fortunately, we are not in 2017 anymore and we have a large selection of HW on the market, the dust you will get is simply not worth your security and privacy.

I read that so far Grayscale has sold almost 80 000 BTC worth as much as $3.27 billion, and the bad news is that they have more than 535 000 BTC. Regardless of the fact that some other funds may be buying a certain amount of BTC, I think that the supply is still significantly higher than the demand and that is why we are at -20% compared to the price that was ten days ago.

The only question is when Grayscale will stop selling, and as far as I can see, there are no indications that this will happen soon.

Regardless of how you want to achieve privacy, always keep in mind that privacy is something you cannot take for granted and that you must always keep in mind that mixers and all other methods are not completely resistant to various blockchain analysis methods in which a lot of money has been invested and which have been developing for at least the past ten years.

The key thing is that the average user should know that if he uses any "mixing" method, he may have problems in the further use of those coins, considering that centralized services may mark them as tainted and therefore reject or confiscate them. Therefore, always make sure that such actions do not come back to you like a boomerang, especially if you have no reason to hide anything from anyone.

This is a lie - because according to what I found, you have several alt accounts with which you have been publishing posts since 2021. None of the admins or mods will ever go so low as to check if the theories of religious fanatics are correct.

I already posted in one of your topics, but since you are still selling lies, here is one more time so that everyone can see what kind of "messiah" you really are.

If he is really as intelligent as you think he is, for what reason has he been making statements about Bitcoin for years that are not exclusively negative, as is the case with Buffett, but more like the statements made by a man who can't even understand what Bitcoin is and what is the purpose of existence the same?

From my perspective, he doesn't look like an intelligent person, but I leave it to everyone to think what they want about such people. I have never admired or envied them for what they do in life, and I always wonder about people who are involved in Bitcoin, and at the same time they care what people like Dimon think - Satoshi invented Bitcoin precisely to be an alternative to banks and to the people who manage them.

Of course not, you are just a messiah who came to save the world and enable everyone else to become rich, not in spirit of course. At the same time, you will start projects that will be worth trillions and change the world



It would be good if you read the rules of the forum, but you obviously didn't have time considering that you create alt accounts and write nonsense all over the forum. In addition to all that, I thought that all those prophets whose names you signed promoted ideas that have nothing to do with the materialism you promote, and the use of faith for the purposes you represent is therefore completely wrong.

They say that there is a special place for such people when they die one day, and it is called hell

The sold BTC can go in any direction, but it is still better that a dozen companies have that amount of BTC than only one that, in case of hacking or some other accident, would cause such an upheaval on the market that it would throw us back, not only in terms of the price of BTC , but also the trust that has been built up over the years.

However, even if Grayscale would not be in the equation with its BTC stock, the question is how much we overestimated the spot ETF when it comes to the US market, given that it has existed for years in some other countries such as Canada and has not resulted in too much investor interest.

Big companies like BlackRock and Fidelity with their trillions under management were a very good story, but the question is how much investors actually want to invest in Bitcoin regardless of which instrument someone provides them.

I think the end of those sales is very far away considering that the Grayscale has accumulated a huge amount of BTC over the years and now it's time for them to profit. Apparently, only a small number of people understood that the approval of BTC ETFs will not have a positive but the exact opposite effect on the price considering the conversion that happened when it comes to Grayscale.

Looking at the bigger picture, nothing bad is happening - everyone who thinks the price is too high will have the opportunity to buy cheaper, and on the other hand, the more Grayscale sells, the better for the future. Such a concentration of BTC in the possession of only one company is always nothing but a big risk.

There is no such rule, otherwise hundreds of users who were caught violating that non-existent rule would be permanently banned. The whole thing is still in the gray zone, because the tools used to detect AI are not always precise and reliable, but I still think that the administration should set some rules and equate the use of AI to generate posts with plagiarism.


Most of the users are not from the English-speaking area, but this has never been a major problem for them in communication - especially since the forum existed ten years before AI chat bots appeared. What I read mostly from users from Africa is that they have very strange ideas about AI, but it's just wrong no matter how someone presents it.

Using AI to "beautify" your posts is just one small level below plagiarism, but in essence it doesn't make much difference.

The OP opened another topic that was moved to another (less visible) board, and just for the sake of context about what kind of person he is, I will post a link to my post -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5482511.msg63538884#msg63538884

In addition to the fact that you can very "favorably" buy a winning formula to beat the casino, you can also buy a formula to become immortal - it seems great, a lot of money and eternal life

People in high positions do not necessarily have to be intelligent, because they do not come to such positions because of their expertise or intelligence, but because of that they are eligible according to certain criteria. There are a lot of people who can be called "useful fools" because they serve a purpose and nothing more.

An intelligent person can understand something that is very easy to understand and factually provable to anyone with a bit of common sense. The question is, does he even have the intelligence you are talking about or is he just one of those "useful fools" who says a lot without even being aware of what exactly he said.

Do not base your opinion on the number of active forum users on how many accounts have been created on the forum from the first day until today (and it is about millions) with real data on active users. In the last 7 days, there were 3821 active users, where about 2300 belong to Brand New, Newbie and Jr.Rank, and less than 1000 to Legendary, Hero and Senior Rank.

In fact, the base of active users with a rank above the Member rank is less than 1500 users, and if you add alt accounts to that, the number of about 1000 users who use that bot is quite realistic.
