Although I agree in principle that Bitcoin can help an individual not to be completely dependent on the existing financial system, it is not a one-way street where honey and milk flow. The question is how does the average Bitcoin investor feel today when about 20% of his value has literally melted away in the blink of an eye?

I believe that many woke up and were unpleasantly surprised, especially those who invested not so long ago when it seemed that it was only a matter of days when some magic would double their invested amount.

You are not the only one who has such a problem, and I can tell you that in many countries that are considered part of the advanced and civilized world, the situation regarding corruption is very bad. The difference is that people may be living better in those countries and not paying too much attention to what those at the top of the pyramid are doing.

For those who watched him in a few matches before that, it was no surprise that he won - he is a very good player who is also in great shape.

If I'm not mistaken, the coaches decide who will play in which match - and then why didn't Dokovic play in the first match and secure the first point, and Cilic would probably lose to any Serbian player in this form - doubles would not matter. The Serbian underestimation of Borna Gojo and the tactics for Dokovic to beat Cilic and thus take Serbia to the finals hit them in the head just as they had not hoped.

Some threads have been deleted, others have not, it is the decision of the moderator who handles the reports. At this point, it was obviously not possible to achieve better than this.


As far as I can see the user in question is no longer active on the Press board, last thread was posted 7 days ago - so I would not agree that he will continue with what he did before. This is not a long-term solution, but it sends a message to anyone who tries something similar that it will not pay off.

If you ask such a question on a forum called bitcointalk, don't expect to get a negative answer to your question - most people here are mostly positive when it comes to such an investment.

Questions I would ask myself before such an investment :

• Do I even understand what Bitcoin is?
• Do I know how to store it properly?
• Am I investing in the short or long term?
• Is that money I can afford to lose?

If you answer those questions, you might get an answer to your question, and after all, it's about your money.

It's unbelievable that anyone can believe such nonsense at all - and let's start again to reconsider whether someone can forbid me or you to have Bitcoin in your full non-custodial private wallet?




How about this? If you are interested in something more about it, I suggest you visit the WO board and find out a little more.

The only problem that comes to my mind is that it can be a bad idea if you share a device with someone. Even if this is not the case, I would never choose the "always stay logged in" option, because it only takes me about 15-20 seconds for this process (unless the captcha doesn't have a bad day).

If the state doesn’t know I’m in the signature campaign, doesn’t know my identity and BTC address, and I’m not so stupid as to use a centralized crypto exchange that requires KYC, should I care about taxes at all? Especially when it comes to some small amounts that most campaign participants earn these days.

For example, I would have to pay a tax on other income, which is about 20%, and those who are not employed should pay all possible contributions that are otherwise paid by the employer (pension, health insurance ...), which means about 40%+. The absurdity of the whole procedure is that the tax return should be done after each payment, which means that I should visit the tax office every week and fill out a pile of paperwork.

Today, the captcha is a little more irritating than usual, but I have patience with it - I remember once solving hundreds of them a day by clicking on the faucets. I think that such situations happen because there is an increased attack of bots on the captcha service, and Google reacts to this by increasing the difficulty which inevitably affects legitimate users as well.

Not in vain as most claim, it is enough to look at the Press board and see that the spammer of the month received an award from the mods - although it is a pity that not all threads are deleted, the mods still took into account that this would delete a lot of posts from users that post in that threads. I did my part - a waste of time? I can survive without those few minutes I spent there.

You have at least one big problem in this whole story, and that is that this ETF is based in Canada. The only physically based BTC ETF that could have a significant impact on the price of Bitcoin is one that has not yet happened, and the venue is the US. To be honest, the US is the center of the world when it comes to Bitcoin, unless someone thinks that Coinbase, Gemini, MicroStrategy, Grayscale, and many other lesser-known companies do not play a significant role when it comes to global influence on cryptocurrencies.

I mentioned the case of Bulgaria and China, which are most often referred to as the governments that allegedly have the most BTC in their possession. As for the links you mentioned, it is generally about the seizure of cryptocurrencies that include altcoins, not Bitcoin exclusively. If a government has 1 million Faketoshi coins or 2 million Roger Judas coins, who should care for that.


Seizure and investment are different things, especially if there is no intention to keep the seized coin - and as you say, they all sell it sooner or later, otherwise, they would give legitimacy to something they are fundamentally opposed to.

This is almost unreal, 15 years of long-distance relationships and it never occurred to a man to go to Brazil and visit her This one is definitely a competitor for the idiot of the century, and I thought athletes had at least a little above average IQ - obviously not.

These are not experts, but ordinary pessimists who repeat the same thing every time the price of Bitcoin drops 5% - and for them, the bull market ended in April 2021. Listening to such people is not only a waste of time, but can have serious (financial) consequences for anyone who believes what they say.

Ask yourself how many people can define Bitcoin in one or two simple sentences? I honestly doubt that this is perhaps between 1% and 2% of the total world population, and I may have exaggerated the estimate if we take into account that a large number of members of this forum do not distinguish Bitcoin from blockchain.

Herein lies the answer to your question “how can CBDC combat Bitcoin?” - very easily if the average person doesn’t know the difference between two diametrically different things. In addition, most people blindly trust governments and do whatever is asked of them, which means that they will believe that CBDC is better than BTC.

If you haven’t already figured it out, it’s very likely that you didn’t communicate with a chick, but with some scammer who uses a fake female profile to catch people like you. It’s an old trick, and I still don’t realize that people don’t realize that on these dating platforms most profiles are fake and artificially created by that same company.

The situation in which you meet a person online, she advises you to invest money in any nonsense and you do it, is really something you are guilty of, regardless of the bad intentions of the person on the other side.

If we take into account the fact that the trading volume in the last 24 hours is more than $34 billion, it is really hardly worth mentioning. However, it should be taken into account that the volume through OTC may be even higher, although this is data that cannot be easily verified.

There is no doubt that people are buying, but also that these same people are selling - and that the amount of BTC available for daily trading is still significant. In addition, more than 2 million BTCs are available for mining, and no one is feeling the real shortage yet - there are few people like Saylor who buy and hold for the long term.

Cryptocurrency trading is extremely risky because they are volatile and no one can give you or sell you instant knowledge of how to be successful. The most important thing is to gain experience, and you can only do that with time, which means that you will, unfortunately, have to lose many times to learn something.

What you need to know is that trading is not for everyone, and that most end up losing their money or giving up for a small profit. It can also be very stressful and affect human health if it goes to some extreme. If it were so easy to make big profits on cryptocurrency trading, then everyone would be successful - and the fact that only a small percentage really gets rich means that a lot of ordinary traders like you have to lose their money.

Your loss is someone's gain, and the question is whether you can be on the winner's side in any way.

I don’t see how cryptocurrency trading could be considered legal while at the same time avoiding regulation by governments? If you were to imagine a scenario in which there is no CEX, only DEX - how many people do you think would trade Bitcoin today, and how many people would know it even exists?

Lest anyone misunderstand, I understand that decentralization is very important, and that it is bad that CEX holds such large amounts of BTC in its possession - but since most people have never accepted (or realized) how important it is to be their own bank, consciously we agreed to go in a direction we might not have needed to go.

As for the number of crypto exchanges, I think there are more than there should be, and it should be regulated who can start such a business. Too many people have seen an opportunity to get rich that way, and in many cases this results in hacking and losing clients ’funds, or with an exit scam.

You have been a member of the forum since 2016 and you have not read the forum rules yet?


Besides, this thread is not something new and original, if you had tried a little harder, you might have found better ways to report good posts to merit sources. Also, there are no rules anywhere on what should someone do with their sMerits, but they certainly should not be sent to random profiles just because you think so.

I do not agree that he never had access to these coins, and I think he understood perfectly the problem that these coins might cause in the future. Unless something happened to him suddenly, I believe he made sure no one but him ever got access to those private keys. Satoshi has never shown interest in profiting from Bitcoin, so it is not at all debatable what he would do even if he knew how much 1 BTC would be worth in 10+ years.
