I do hope that he/she does because I feel like having a running gag in this forum is pretty good. I do hope that that time does happen that @proudhon would be stoic on his/her claims that the bitcoin price at X isn't going to stay for 10 consecutive days. Has he/she replied on this site thread though?

I mean, if you manage to do that, I think that you will be able to enjoy maximum profit and if along the way you are also accumulating a lot of bitcoin to increase your portfolio little by little and you take care of yourself so as to not have any health problems that will cause you to prematurely sell your portfolio then you will get what you deserve. And you also have to face the temptations along the way because prices go up each year which might entice you into selling early than your target.

Of course it's difficult to predict, that's why they call it volatility because they know how it's movement is unpredictable. And the way that you described bitcoin moving in unexpected is also volatility.

Man, the amount of sarcastic and sardonic comments in this one made some of the users reply seriously. It's okay that you did though, you're still participating in the conversation. I think you are wrong, bitcoin won't be able to touch down 50k again because it's not sustainable under 10k USD.

I think what they're trying to change is the fact that Amazon was attempting a rug pull but it seems that the market is much powerful that they've expected because the prices are still doing just right. I hope that by the end of the year we can bitcoin go up to a really unexpected prices and I do hope that it's a positive one.

For me, crypto doesn't need that much support from the government economic wise, I think crypto is already set on that part. I think the role that the government should play is bolstering the support  on crypto in terms of protecting it's users and proactively chasing bad elements that are abusing the system.

Probably the number of people that are going to use the feature when it's finally added is probably really low and more people will still use fiat because even if they have the payment system, it's not like everyone will be able to use bitcoin so they can use it for payment, plus the company's ego is too big to use a third party that they have no power over.

Of course it's unstable and volatile but it didn't stop other companies from adopting bitcoin since they still made a lot of big money out of it despite the prices not being volatile, I think the reason why some companies don't want to get in bitcoin is because they still can't find an opportunity that their interest will benefit the most.

The finally made their move against El Salvador, it's to be expected since they really don't like a nation not going along with what El Salvador is currently doing. I think El Salvador will bduge to this call by the IMF since IMF is an influential organization internationally and they know how to make people move.

Is this something that we should worry about since there's a very high possibility that it will pass through the commission because we all know how EU wants to have cryptocurrencies traceable to prevent money laundering or funding of terrorism, of the two I don't think that it's worrying that they use cryptocurrencies since as it is now, most cryptocurrencies can easily be traced.

But the problem with that is if the markets in your locality are accepting bitcoin or are still on the traditional side of things which is fiat because that can affect your decision whether you should go for an all bitcoin salary or not. For me I would choose bitcoin as a salary as long as there are nearby places that I can convert my bitcoin much easier.

Of course there's more people that will buy and use bitcoin if it's more convenient than what it currently is, it's not like everyone has the technical knowledge to access and use bitcoin as it is because we always have to assume that our clients are much dumber than average.

That doesn't answer the question though, you are just describing bitcoin for what you think it is which is pretty subjective. For me though, I think the reason is it's utility and it's ability to be used as a means of currency or as an asset.

I think more than the changes in the prices, the market has more institutional investors than the last time so there's some changes in the market. You're probably right that after 42k we might see another run but we have to be careful because it's fueled by rumors but it seems it persists even though there's rumors about Amazon.

I don't think that the shorters will have their way anytime soon because I feel like they're going to have to wait for awhile because the rumor about Amazon was already cleared but the prices are still able to make some movement so I think that they have to wait for some time.

It's not even remotely related to cryptocurrency because these terrorists that OP is mentioning I assume are all out of touch with technology so there's a really low chance that they are going to use cryptocurrencies to fund their operations plus, fiat works for them really well because it's untraceable and it doesn't leave any paper trail and their gun supplier wants those guns get paid in something that the arms dealer can see and touch.

That means that if the government doesn't have any stake on it, they won't be supporting those things from existing. I think the reason that this politicians are doing this because some people in some companies probably have asked or loobied these politicians to make regulations that is going to be bad for their competition which is bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Yes the pandemic not the epidemic have an impact on bitcoin but it's not as big as you think because there's other bigger news than the pandemic that have impacted bitcoin mauch more, onw example is the Tesla purchase, China banning mining to make way for Digital Yuan and El Salvador's acceptance of bitcoin as a legal tender.

Is this some sort of betting because there's an appropriate board for this and I assume that you know that you know how to move the topic. I think it can be further discussed in Gambling Discussion board. I think it's not that new of a thing to do, I mean most players even participate in informal bets like this, one example is the Trump vs Biden presidency.

We still have to be careful with this news and rumors though, they are sometimes entirely created to specifically move the market, stock markets do it all the time, some even go underhanded just to short a company so what can be the difference with bitcoin market being influenced by the market trends.
