Just wait and see. We from the forum can't influence much. The characteristics of bitcoin that will cause a sustained, long-term increase in demand, coupled with its deflationary nature, will cause it to reach that figure and surpass it.

Okay, so, according to you, why did the price increase occur?

The most likely scenario is that the Musk thing has something to do with it. You see things like that all the time in the stock market: the stock market goes up because the chairman of the Federal Reserve smiles or down because the president of China farts.

A lot of people have seen that as the lead-up to Musk announcing he's going to buy a lot of bitcoin, and we can imagine what would happen to the price if that happens.

I've got franky1 on ignore but I've read him when BADecker has quoted him and, LOL, he's recommending 400 IUs, which is ridiculous. What we are saying is that current recommended official doses are way too low. They do nothing. Well, yes, they help prevent rickets, which is useless for 99.9% of people nowadays. For boosting your inmune system and avoid taking many of the medicines Big Pharma wants you to take you need to take doses much higher than that.

As for the last reply:

LOL

These stories, regardless of whether they are true or not, give a picture of what really happened at that time. A lot of people were mining or getting Bitcoins but since they were worth almost nothing they didn't give it much thought. Many of them lost the keys, and therefore the bitcoins. In some cases there is talk of millions of Bitcoins lost:

Lost Bitcoin: 3.7 million Bitcoin are probably gone forever

Nearly 4 Million Bitcoins Lost Forever, New Study Says

It is sad on the one hand, but on the other hand, better for us because more scarcity gives more value to our holdings.

That the massive printing of money is going to end up in higher prices is almost like 2+2=4.

In recent years it has not been so noticeable, or not so much in proportion to what has been printed, because the money has gone more into assets such as the stock market or real estate. If you think that last year 20% of the total dollars printed in all of history were printed, you will realize what is to come.

Originally, one pound sterling could buy one pound of silver. Go now with a pound sterling and see how much silver you get.

Most of the gambling sites that are advertised on the forum are reputable houses. It's a matter of trying them out and see which one you like the most. I see that of all those that have been mentioned has not yet appeared bitvest.io, which is the one I advertise, although someone has mentioned sister site 777coin. I recommend you try them both.

I would add that they don't need to go opening threads about how cool the merit system is, full of spelling mistakes, to see if they catch any merit because they may end up on some people's ignore list. Just being willing to learn, and willing to share your knowledge by helping others, is enough.

In my case it was to discover the fact that Bitcoin was an alternative to the current central bank monetary system. It wasn't just an asset to make money. Its deflationary, decentralized characteristics were what caught my attention.

LOL I've always said that the game has a lot to do with emotions. What gets people hooked is not so much the opportunity to win money as it is the emotions attached to winning and losing. The truth is that it's pathetic: so long waiting for the jackpot and you die. Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is that your wishes come true.

If your horizon is the long term, almost any time is a good time to buy. It was clear that if we got to $100k this year, it wasn't going to be in a straight line. We will get there and pass them but there will be pullbacks that some might take advantage of to buy. Not me. I just hold and I sell little when the price goes up a lot.

I've reported a bunch of one-liner bots and they have already been dealt with but I keep finding more.

See this topic for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5312326.0



They say something somewhat related to the topic so at first sight they might not seem so obviously bots.

I've highlighted the first reply because he is quoting another bot.

The second one is also a bot. Let's see how their post history looks like:



Any idea why this happens? After the few minutes it has taken me to write this post, another bot has posted: TONY999

I've already reported all of them.

One can see OP is inexperienced. Unless you want to be a short-term trader, you shouldn't care about these one-day swings.

If you have Bitcoin, hold. If you don't have Bitcoin or don't have enough, buy. And then hold. The people who have made the most money on this forum are the people who bought and hold. Hold, hold and hold for a long time. The longer you are able to hold the more you will earn.

Yes. I don't know what it will do next week but I would be very surprised if it doesn't cross the $40k mark in the next 8 weeks at most. Demand is clearly higher than the offer and short-term FUD due to news can't last long, so the price has to tend to go high.

Covid deaths are caused by Covid but many deaths are labelled as Covid even though they weren't the main cause. So, Covid figures are being at least inflated. This is without taking into account the fact that the flu has disappeared this year. And we have to swallow the story that the flu has disappeared because people wash their hands and use masks but Covid keeps spreading because people are irresponsible and do not wash their hands and use masks sufficiently.

Besides, when you die from a heart attack, the main cause is the heart attack, but the fact that you smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day and weighed 170 kilos would also have something to do with it, wouldn't it? If you had quit smoking and lost 100 kilos, you would not have died of a heart attack, even if the cause of your death is a heart attack.


I won't go as far as to say that 75% of those cancer deaths could be avoided but here are some scientiphic links:

Vitamin D as a promising anticancer agent
Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and lung cancer risk and survival
Circulating vitamin D level and mortality in prostate cancer patients: a dose-response meta-analysis
Vitamin D and Clinical Cancer Outcomes: A Review of Meta‐Analyses
Blood levels of vitamin D and early stage breast cancer prognosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

I could put links to hundres of such studies but you can find a comprehensive list here:

https://vitamindwiki.com/Cancer


I didn't know about the NHS recommending vitamin D but I've been on the website and it goes along the general international lines: it recommends doses of 400 IU, which is pretty much useless. So they recommend a dose that does nothing and then they say it doesn't work. Give people 50 times the daily dose and come back and tell me if they get colds, flu or Covid.

Now let's go to the point:


I'm betting something that your blood test results have nothing to do with vitamin D. Do you still have that blood test? See if what you were getting out of range was calcium. If it wasn't calcium, it has nothing to do with vitamin D. If it was calcium, you must have another problem because no one develops hypercalcemia by taking so little vitamin D.

I take between 20,000 and 30,000 daily during winter months and I haven't had any problems so far.

The maximum recommended dose is 800 IU, which was actually a miscalculation and should be 8,000 IU for the average person.

You can take much, much more dosage without anything happening to you. The only danger with mega doses of vitamin D is hypercalcemia. But typically hypercalcemia appears with blood vitamin D levels of 400 ng/ml, i.e. in people taking ingested amounts such as 100,000 IU or more. When they set the limit they took a safety margin and left it at 100 ng/ml. As you will see, the difference in safety margin is barbaric.

Some very rare cases may develop hypercalcemia above 100 ng/ml but because they have other previous problems, for example, kidney problems. That is why it is usually recommended that if you take more than 10,000 IU daily, a doctor should check your blood calcium levels, but just to be on the safe side, because almost 100% of the cases that take between 10 and 30,000 IU have no problems. From 30,000 IU daily long-term it would be more likely.

Anyway there are things that decrease the risk of developing hypercalcemia even taking mega doses, such as taking vitamin D with vitamin K2, or drinking plenty of water or reducing calcium intake.

Moreover, hypercalcemia, which is the danger that the pharmaceutical industry wants to scare us with, is completely reversible: if you develop it, all you have to do is stop taking vitamin D and wait for the levels to go down.

First, that's highgly unlikely in developed countries.

In the same way that the power can go out in a neighborhood of a city for a few hours, the same can happen with the Internet, but do not expect a massive blackout in all countries for several days and, even if that were to happen, the blockchain would still be there. The scenario you raise is so unlikely that I don't worry about it.

That article is bull crap actually. As many of those articles in crypto news sites.

Considering than 80% of traders lose money and that in markets like forex numbers go up to 90% or more losers, we can guess that for people trading Bitcoin numbers are pretty much the same.

In other words, the article presents the pretty face of someone who is poor and has been able to make a living trading Bitcoin but does not present the bad side of all those who, on top of being poor, got into Bitcoin trading and lost money.

Yes, I've talked about that in other posts but no, you won't see the authorities implementing vitamin D-boosting plans.

Vitamin D boost your inmune system. People with high vitamin D levels very rarely get colds or the flu and, if they do, they have few symptoms and of short duration. This can also be applied to Covid: you can find dozens of studies in Pubmed showing that people with high vitamin D levels either don't get COVID or they have few symptoms. On the contrary, people most of those who die from COVID have low to very low vitamin D levels.

You can find many scientiphic articles on: https://vitamindwiki.com/

Big pharma isn't interested in this because vitamin D is free if you get it from the sun and supplements can be bought in herbal stores.

Well, as unfortunate as it is that these people died, as the article says, it's not going to affect production, so I think the impact on the Indian economy is going to be minimal. It was just a new facility they were building that is has been burnt but the company has said that they can use other available facilities.

Congratz to the US for officially being a communist country now. I think we can call it USASR.
