661  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will owning 0.01 BTC really make you rich? on: January 08, 2022, 11:15:46 AM
I've read a few articles on the web which indicated you could get rich with just 0.01 BTC. At first, it seemed crazy to me considering that Bitcoin is still below $1m. But then it started to make sense after knowing that the pioneer cryptocurrency was designed with deflation in mind. Each halving had a positive effect in BTC's price, so one would guess the next one will lead us to a BTC worth more than $100k. To become a millionaire with 0.01 BTC, the price of one Bitcoin must be $100m. Prices are still volatile, so I'm having my doubts whenever I'd really become rich with just 0.01 BTC or not.

What do you think? Is it really possible to become rich with 0.01 BTC in the future? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley
Yes for now it might not really seem as much but considering what could happen as you have mentioned, there is no telling how much Bitcoin could be in another 10 years from now, maybe 100X from its current price, and with that, some investors in some countries will definitely become rich Smiley but I don't think that will make most rich, so it should be more than Hodling 0.01BTC

This is why this talk about Bitcoin will be the main currency of exchange someday is still dicy. Every other commodity or some sought of an asset today is still valued based on fiat USD. GOLD, SILVER, etc are all valued in USD and so is BTC, so you get where I am going. USD is the value of every other thing and once you remove the value, the thing becomes worthless. Bitcoin and other cryptos might be used for exchange or purchase but I don't think it will ever be the main currency.

Its been a very long time that I've been using coinmarketcap.com/new to find new crypto projects that just get listed on the platform and I've come to notice that every two to three days coinmarketcap always list up to 30 new crypto projects, how insane is that? It shows that more than 100 crypto projects are released every week cos some landed on coingecko first before coinmarketcap, this to me is scary
Well, I guess the cryptocurrency space is still free entry and exit So to speak Grin if your project eventually doesn't cut it. This shouldn't be a surprise cos I might launch my own project pretty soon  Wink The most important thing is not how many of them are out there or in the ecosystem but what do they offer? Investors want more than just coins/Tokens for trade now but what value does the project has that will keep it alive for the long term and as the saying goes, the more the merrier. Imagine that there was no solution to the Etereum Network? where will Sandbox and many other projects go?

These incidents are becoming more and more popular, with the founding of the Binance Smart Chain, where everyone can simply create a coin, with little effort. Especially after the hype with Doge and Shiba, the cryptocurrency scene was flooded with newbies that thought it's a get rich quick scheme, only to be proved wrong, shortly after. I even have acquaintances and friends of mine ask for advice, after purchasing some crap coins no one knows about, without any kind of research before proceeding.

Those sitting outside crypto world think that it's a shortcut of getting huge money in short interval of time but it proves to be wrong when they jump with lots of cash and becomes a victim of losing money in short duration of time. You are right people are missing  key principle of investing which is DYOR. The FOMO has made many to buy coins when they are at there ATH.
That shouldn't have mattered whether the Investors bought at ATH but I believe the problem people keep having is still not having or believing in Bitcoin even if there are investing in it. Imagine those how bought at the 2017 ATH but believe and were able to HODL to 2021 ATH, we all know what the result is. So the Issue is not even Investing what you can afford to lose cos no one wants to lose money even if you believe you can afford it but once they understand that there will be dips and recovery again, then you are good to go. 
665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin upgraded my financial life on: January 03, 2022, 11:04:01 AM
So I had a great holiday season all with the help of Bitcoin I came from an underdeveloped country where the rate of unemployment is pretty high and many youths are left to do some hard jobs just to survive even graduates with University degrees have no paying jobs I got to know about this forum some months ago and since then my financial life was transformed and the Christmas happens to be my best I can now earn little money to take care of my financial needs all with the help of Bitcoin-related jobs both on this forum and off the forum. BITCOIN IS A SAVIOR
Facts, I want to believe that quite a number of us here just like you have truly made a living through trading Bitcoin and other cryptos too in the past years. I wonder what it would have been like if I hadn't found Bitcoin Investment Back in 2016, and since then I can't say it hasn't been a good ride, might have lot some but altogether, it has been a good thing with my investment and working on Bounties in this forum.
666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Scammers put bad impact to Our Government about Bitcoin Transections. on: January 02, 2022, 08:18:49 AM
In my country Someone bought a BMW Car by scamming in crypto transections and Police arrested him and told that the guy was a cheater and he was a crypto scammer.And this case is now the most viral topic.This incident shocked the whole country and also the Central bank authority about how he got this huge money and this incident put a bad impact in crypto.

I think Digital Currency like Crypto isn't getting much popularity because of these Scammers.They are one of the most strong reason why Government's aren't showing interest on Crypto Transections.


Well, for all the crypto haters such negative news about Bitcoin is what they will want to push in the mainstream media just to continue to discredit Cryptocurrencies. There are more scams perpetrated every day through Fiat monies and those might sound normal now and might not even make it to the media but this is what crypto have to deal with and I don't see it as stopping cryptocurrency though. 
667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin new year on: January 02, 2022, 08:13:17 AM
No question 2021 crypto Year was good for me just like I believe for most too. Two of the biggest payout in Bounties I ever received and not to mention the ATH for most cryptocurrencies and also my biggest earning from a single Investment all in 2021. It was really good yeah and hope 2022 will even be better and Happy New year to All here.
668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A good man/woman leaves an inheritance on: January 01, 2022, 07:58:04 AM
Well, people are different and so is our culture, religion, etc so for me, I believe we are making the issue with Bitcoin Inheritance more complicated than it should be. People have been leaving wills of properties worth Billions of $ for families and some have gone smoothly while others with even less worth have gone south. With regards to one of the differences, I mentioned earlier, sharing of inheritance already have its formula, and as long as access to your Bitcoin is simple enough for the family to access e.g PKs/wallet seeds made available by a trusted lawyer to the inheriting family members, then that too should follow the same formula.

Sorry but hodlers who buy with dca method are the winners in this game.
Dollar cost average is by far one of the best methods many dont like it as they dont have patience.
We the people want to see results always too fast if not we not interested only few the handful can really do the buy the dips combined mixed with dca style buying.

If you really want to invest in Bitcoin then you have to know that DCA is the best method for it plus if you have the resources for it. People that just have some lost cash to throw into Bitcoin and rive the wave when there is a Bull market ain't really investors but just trying to catch the opportunity to make the gains at that time but true investors think differently.
671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - Is HODL the only strategy? on: December 18, 2021, 06:30:46 AM
I own different crypto and mostly I stake with them because I am interested in the long return. With bitcoin I am actually doing nothing. Can you suggest any strategies to make even a little APR? I know that I can't stake with bitcoin.

I believe you are already doing the best strategy for Bitcoin which is HODL.
That gonna be a case-to-case basis as I hold when the market dumps but later when it recover back, I just sell them. I think, Holding is an option, we can make a trade, staking and etc...if we wanted to earn more. It is only finding a way where you can assure that you won't lose but instead of profit.

But if we don't have skills like trading, then it has no choice but just to hold until we decide to sell. As I've said, holding alone doesn't give you much unless you bought a lot of Bitcoin or potential altcoins.
True that. only if you really understand trading then that is another way for you to accumulate on Bitcoin but this is also the easiest way for you to lose your Bitcoin Hodlings too. I don't stake Bitcoin and don't think it is a wise choice but just to HODL till the price is right.
672  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fear is not Real. on: December 18, 2021, 06:18:47 AM
First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real
That's wrong on so many levels! One of the first things newcomers should learn is how to properly keep those funds safe [imagine what you've accumulated over a certain period of time, suddenly goes down the drain (it happens more often than one might imagine)].

That is the problem, the newcomers will always fall into this category because they are new and don't understand the market but rather only think of making profits and if this is not the condition of the market, that's the result we see however if you have been accumulating for a certain period of time, it would mean that, that investor should have understood the market trend enough not to panic sell.
673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If I had bought bitcoin 10 years ago, I would have been a millionaire: Not true on: December 17, 2021, 06:59:53 AM
The reality is that they would not have been able to hold for so long even if they bought 10 years ago. Very few have the patience to wait till 100x or more. Most of the investors will be sold at the idea of 2x or 3x itself. Some of the people that were able to hold for so long were those who had invested and then completely forgot about it. There is one more category of people who had complete trust on BTC and thus they stick with it for years.

I definitely agree with that. I know most would have sold from all the Bulls and Bear markets that have happened over the years and let's not forget how long those Bear markets were back then and been from the start the price of Bitcoin wasn't that attractive and I also honestly believe that MOST that HODL through those years wasn't because they had the belief that it will get to this position cos I too was introduced to Bitcoin in 2015 and didn't take it seriously until 2017.
674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In my school, Bitcoin is now becoming a subject on: December 17, 2021, 06:52:22 AM
I don't know if we're the same but in this school year (2020-2021) Bitcoin is now being introduced to our school, although it may not be introduced to other courses, since I am currently taking Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) hence, we are to take Bitcoin and the history of BTC. It's actually great that schools are putting Bitcoin to their curriculum, with that, I got to share my experience with Bitcoin, I got the chance to share my knowledge about the history of Bitcoin and how much I benefited from this.

I also decided to post it here because I think this is a big leap towards the future, from people doubting about Bitcoin and now, people are heavily relying on it, being informed, buying bitcoins, learning the ways on how to exactly earn bitcoins.

P.S - Okay, so for those who are asking on what country, type of school am I in, I currently live in the Philippines which is a third world country, a country that is not yet solidified when it comes to technology, and education that is not as advanced as it may seem, since we are focused on the main subjects, Bitcoin and the technology of Blockchain has unlikely entered, well, educationally speaking, but my school (a college institute) and probably many more has started off talking about Blockchain, there are no downsides to this since we are only talking about it and studying but they're not encouraging students just yet to become enthusiastic about Bitcoin, probably in the future.

For such to happen which I also agree is a big step to opening up the understanding of Bitcoin to students, I also believe that your Government must have a free or open policy yet with Bitcoin. I also don't think there is ever going to be a study about something without you looking at the two sides of it, so I believe some will always want to talk about negativity Bitcoin can also bring and I guess it will eventually depend on how every other person in the class sees it but at the end of the day, it is the awareness that it brings to the people and the curiosity for them that will engage them.
675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: About the popularity of Bitcoin on: December 17, 2021, 06:32:41 AM
Suddenly chatting with a friend today. How do blind people use mobile payment? We don’t know the daily life of blind people. Blind people pay with paper money, but will digital currencies replace paper money in the future? (However, there is no certain mark on the U.S. bills, and the blind cannot touch the face value of the legal currency)


There are also some elderly and children who do not have mobile phones. Children can take care of them and learn cryptocurrency with their families. However, many elderly people have no children and lack the ability to accept new things. With the popularity of Bitcoin, will they continue to use paper money in the future?


In fact, for blind people, no one pays too much attention to their lives. Because there are no blind friends around, they don't think so much. If some technology is developed, it is very expensive consumption.
   With the increasing popularity of Bitcoin, what do you think will happen to blind and childless elderly people?
This is the notion that in the future, Paper money (Fiat) will disappear. I don't want to believe that yet, that there will be no Fiat money in the future been as Bitcoin gains more popularity. Talking about the blind people, if you don't tell them which value is the paper money you are giving them or there are holding I don't think they would know hence the assistance they would need and I believe that same will be the state if Bitcoin was to eventually be the currency of the future.
676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what proof must one have to identify himself as Nakamoto Satoshi? on: December 16, 2021, 06:41:40 AM
We always wonder who the real master mind behind the name of Nakamoto Satoshi the creator of bitcoin is.But what exactly would make you believe or convince you that "this" person is Satoshi if he/she ever decided to reveal himself.
There might be infinite wannabes and glory hunters wanting to rise to fame ,given the real Satoshi is one among them how would you go on about finding the right person.
For one, if the person can continue on the account satoshi started of with here in the forum, I believe that will be one proof even though maybe that could be hacked Huh and to me, I don't really see the need for Satoshi to reveal himself or herself cos the person could easily be a female as well, and yet we have all these men claiming to be satoshi. If (s)he did not reveal themself then why would they want to do so now? I really don't care but I give thanks to Satoshi for finding Bitcoin whoever (s)he is.  
677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Understanding the Ponzi Narrative on: December 15, 2021, 07:45:04 AM

From OPs explanation, everything investment sounds like Ponzi. Now let’s take farming for instance.

Stage 1. You need investment for the initial machines/land/crops = Bitcoin invest for miners, etc.
Stage 2. You harvest your crops after maturity = Bitcoin mined
Stage 3. You sell your crops @ price x to the first buyer after harvest = Miners sells Bitcoin
Stage 4. First buyer stores crops for after season and price goes up and sells to new buyer @ price x+100 = Bitcoins Bull market
And the stage can repeat itself over and again with little variations in-between.
 
I am also thinking that the Internet is some sought of a Ponzi, we can use it when we pay to access it. I don’t even understand why people keep using the argument about when new money enters BTC that’s when the price pumps, this is the same for most if not all financial assets does that make them a Ponzi scheme?
678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Only invest an amount you can afford to lose" on: December 15, 2021, 06:32:32 AM
"Only invest an amount you can afford to lose."

Probably one of the most common advice I've heard when it comes to investing in bitcoin; and I've used it a lot of times too. But honestly, in our current situation where fiat is getting printed like hell, I started to use that statement less and less. It just seems that holding bitcoin is now totally necessary.

Don't get me wrong, we should still be heavily educating people when it comes to proper investing in general with DCA-ing and probably not going all-in on one go and stuff, but I think bitcoin is a lot less risky of an investment now compared to the past few years despite it still being volatile.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I agree but the problem I believe is not with the Bitcoin Investment now as you said but as we see nowadays heavy investment on new projects and meme coins. Investors are daring to take more risks now with their investment and some will continue to invest more than they can afford to lose even when they know that is risky they are willing to take it hopefully because of greed which I believe is more with crypto investing these days. 
679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin/crypto hacks or scams on: December 15, 2021, 06:13:57 AM
I read about a cryptocurrency hack recently where they were able to steal tens of millions of dollars.
With that kind of money involved, I'm surprised this doesn't happen often.  Good thing that people are so honest.
 

You must have seen by most of the posts that hacks happen often with crypto exchanges only some of them are maybe not as publicized as others. Even though I know there have been hacks in exchanges but truly didn't know that there have been this many hacks even some exchanges have been hacked more than once. This is a serious issue and I just hope that these exchanges will try and build stronger security walls. Now I see that a couple of more exchange hacks will be added to this List for 2021.
680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH OR BSC on: December 14, 2021, 08:15:25 AM
One of the reasons why binance savvy chain gets to be this enormous right presently is since ethereum gas expense is exceptionally tall and this constrain a few ventures to switch to BSC but what do you think will happen once ethereum gas expense goes lower in close few months? Will BSC confronted same destiny as binance DEX? Or BSC will stay the way better choice over ethereum?
It doesn't matter, though the Ethereum fees actually help to push investors towards Binance smart Chain I am guessing even when ethereum transactions come down if ever it does to the level of BSC, both will still have their share of investors because I don't see the projects on BSC moving away back to Ethereum while new projects will have to consider if there might be another Eth trans fee issue.
