My question is why is they no extra profit for early holders when the price falls and rises agian?
Really, what extra profit you want? Just look at the charts! Bitcoin was 0.6$ some years ago, then +1000$ some other years ago, 200$, 20000$, 3000$, 50000$.... yes, it goes up and down, but if you look at the big picture the long time holders are in a profit and don't need more. But l asked my question mainly for the short runners or what just happened. The 50k buyer will not profit like the 39k buyer that's my question ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) So you were asking for "short runners" by asking about "early holders". Makes sense. In 5 years it won't matter if you bought at 39k or 50k, at least the last 10 years history tells that. If you think that HOLDing means a couple of days, you better learn patience (for years) or find something else to invest in. (Just a piece of advice: 99.99% of crypto hyip are scam).

Many countries in Europe are becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and already generate a big portion of their energy by green production. Nobody is encouraging the use of coal energy or dirty energy in Europe.
I didn't say it's encouraged. What I said is that nobody stops them (not yet!) from producing dirty energy. And nobody was banning this or that industry or products (whether from Europe or from China!) because of use of dirty energy. Except Bitcoin. Interesting. I heard "don't buy iPhone because they use child labor", but no "don't buy iPhone because they use coal-based electricity in production". Why don't all have the same treatment?
For crypto to become fully politically acceptable
Plenty of countries have already accepted cryptocurrencies as a taxable property class, though not payment type. Even backwater nations like Russia.
... Please look for the context of what I'm telling, else it'll get odd.

Exactly. Not to mention, Musk being concerned with fossil fuels being used by gigantic mining corporations in China is not "FUD". It's a fact.
For crypto to become fully politically acceptable, as many huge miners as possible need to switch to hydro, solar or wind power. Instead of using cheap coal-generated electricity as is the case for many big Chinese miners.
Sorry, but you've missed this and that on the way. 1. Elon's "concern" is not genuine, he has a hidden agenda, I don't know what's that though. He knew about all the fossil fuel problems also before buying or accepting bitcoin. And the electricity the Tesla cars use is not necessarily cleaner. 2. Bitcoin is not "politically acceptable" because it poses as a threat to the current financial system. And then "they" will find ways to demonize bitcoin. 5 years ago "it was used only by criminals", now "it uses fossil fuels", in 5 years it will be something else. We know it's noise. We know that this is a way to make the herd focus on fake problems. Why using coal based electricity is "acceptable" for other industries? Why are electric companies still allowed to produce this kind of electricity also in US or EU?

I am considering a hard wallet
Go for it. It's a very good mix of security and convenience. Since you seem to be in a hurry, Trezor and Ledger are the best choices, also keep in mind that Ledger had the store (not the wallet!) hacked and many customers' addresses have leaked onto the internet. And their wallet is not open source. On the other hand I do have Ledger wallet and I'm happy with it. Also, think how many types of coins you plan to hold. For Bitcoin and few other coins the basic/cheaper wallet is usually fine (at least in case of Ledger). For more you may need one of those with bigger memory. The best wallets usually support hardware wallet and I recommend you use them (Ledger, MEW, ...) instead of Ledger live, for example.

I want to see bitcoin well over 75k, at least at 100k and I'm confident it will happen at some point in the future.
And I honestly couldn't care less about what's the price of DOGE. If it's small, it was like that before for so long. If it's big, good for those believing in it for so many years. Keep in mind that some dogecoiners are there since before Elon ever heard of crypto.

Nope, this is actually a debunk exercise, where actual facts are researched and distributed
Actual facts are not that interesting, hence not appealing for media. Actual facts don't get that much traction as sensational news. Unfortunately this is the world we are living in. Also unless you get some prominent figures (as well known as Elon) helping you with this, it would go ignored by most. People should stop looking for reasons and excuses not to do this and focus on the positive result of a exercise like this, because the long-term advantage of killing this FUD... are beneficial for Bitcoin's future. I don't mean to stop anybody from doing this and I don't try to find excuses either. But imho the bitcoiners are too lazy to try this. They'll just HOLD and wait. (Of course, I'd be happy to see I'm wrong.)

In 2013, U.S. data centers consumed an estimated 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to the annual output of 34 large (500-megawatt) coal-fired power plants Or, newer, global data: According to data published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), data centers around the world gobble up around 200 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity per year So let's shut down everything: Google, Amazon, maybe the whole internet. And now for real: why don't everybody target those producing and selling energy that's not green? Are you afraid that you'll get to pay more for it?

Let's flood Social media with articles and videos
This sounds like a call for a hype, kinda as artificial as the FUD. This could jump the price, and if that would happen, the jump will be high and fast. And then what? A new correction will come, some new FUD will rise and people will get tired to hype yet again. But I am not sure that FUD and hype are the solution for everything. Let the world earn about bitcoin at its own pace. Else the price fluctuations can get even more wild than we are (more or less) used with.

I have some btc in a legacy electrum wallet (when I go to receive and select new address they all begin with 1).
I think I should store my btc in a segwit wallet.
If you don't spend those coins, imho you should not hurry with this change. Should I create a new segwit wallet and simply send my btc there? Is there a way to upgrade my wallet without incurring a fee?
The only way is to create a SegWit wallet and send your coins there. This means that you will have to pay the miners' fee. The miners' fee depends on how busy the network is and how big your transaction is (not the amount of money, instead the size in bytes). For example, if you received coins many times to that address, the size of the transaction will be bigger. So I suggest you watch a website like https://mempool.space/ or https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h and if you see the mempool almost empty or the fees very low, then it would be the moment for your move. This way you won't pay much. But again, this is feasible only if you don't intend to spend in the near future, since I don't know when the fees will get very low again, it may be in the next week-end or in months. Usually the fees are lower in week-ends. Is there a way to retain the history (not a major issue if not) from the old wallet?
It's usually recommended to keep a backup of the old wallet, just in case. And then it will have the history. Also if by chance all the transactions are made with only one address from the old wallet, it will be easy to see all the history on any blockchain explorer just by starting (backwards) from the transaction that sends the funds to the new wallet (but not in the wallet).

... musk's legacy is by no means set in stone at this stage, cosying up to power players and gubmints has led to many visionaries coming unstuck
Well said. Others also make electric cars. Maybe not that fancy, but Tesla is also not much of a breakthrough. Also them earning more from carbon certificates and, lately, from Bitcoin may rise some interesting questions about what is Tesla actually "producing". Also, interestingly, everybody links Elon to Tesla and SpaceX and nobody remembers him as PayPal, for example. Or, if my memory serves me good, wasn't he sending SPAM in the early days it was not even widely known under the name of SPAM?

I want to send a wake up call to all the crypto supporters
Since people got fed up of all the talk about this guy and have started filtering out the topics about him, it would have been a nice gesture from you to put his name into the title. Elon Musk is the worse thing that has happened to the crypto since 2008, and he is a real thread to its existence.
He's just another guy who wants to profit. The lemmings who are following him are bigger problem than himself. Not only he is already a Billionaire, []
From the start he is playing with us,[]
As I said, he's not the first. His goal is to prove []
You actually don't know his goal. His actions are ruining millions of small investors who are putting their economies into the crypto with the hope to have a better future than what the fiat finance can offer to them.
Only if they sell. Actually only if they sell at a loss. And this means that the small investors don't understand that they do. They should have invested money they afford to lose and maybe they should have been waiting for better times to sell. There will be always those buying in FOMO and selling as soon as the price falls. he is your enemy.
No. He's just another guy and you make him even more publicity. For free. In 50 years he will be history and Bitcoin will be still "present". Please, unite against this guy, dump DOGE, and pump BTC now that he has sold his stockpile, put him to shame and show the world that crypto is (still) a real revolutionary movement.
Unity is not something you'll see. Everybody does as they think with their money. Also you are asking the wrong audience. I don't own DOGE for many years now and I expect that most bitcoiners are in the same category. Not mentioning that this move will hurt all dogecoiners, not only this guy. Here is Bitcoin discussion. And what you need to say here is #HODL and #BTFD, nothing more.

At first, I sent with the bitcoin core recommended transaction fee and after an hour,I doubled it.
A current pretty good fee is 75-85 sat/vByte, from what I see on https://mempool.space/I don't know what was the case when you made the transaction. Maybe you can put your tx ID into blockchair.com and see more, or may be you post here your tx ID so we can see what we find out?

Until I learn little thing regards in trading
Since what you are trying to do is closer to gambling than to trading, I advise you do this only with tiny amounts of money. Maybe turning to altcoins for start could be a good idea too (because smaller amounts are usually allowed there). But you have to learn TA. You have to learn to understand the potential behind every news. You have to learn about stop loss. And only afterwards you'll say that you're accumulating experience. Now you don't. That's not learning of something useful. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but I mean good. I've been in that boat, shortly, many years ago when the things were easier. Now the risk is too big and the competition from bots and more experienced traders is quite big.

The topic must be awarded an award. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'd say it may worth indeed the golden raspberry for being one of the worse written (or translated?) and one of the most useless shitposts. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F3%2F35%2FGolden_Raspberry_Award.jpg&t=664&c=lSBguw67Ombb6Q) Edit: from what I see, OP history is full of this kind of ... "poetry".

a website that compiles all the available jobs in Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency community. There’s a job always ready for you if you have the skills. It will be useful if the market is indeed in a new bear cycle.
No. If one has the time and the skills, working for crypto is a great way forward whether it's a bear or bull market. In case of bear market you may earn more coins for the same job, depending on how your income is calculated. The only thing is... I would not want to get paid 100% in crypto, not yet. 30% or 50% yes, but not 100%. Crypto payments are not widely accepted and unfortunately fiat is still necessary, especially if your family also relies on your income.

Cred ca iti dai seama ca acelasi lucru e valabil si pentru Assange si Snowden...
Probabil. Aparatul de stat in general are oameni insuficienti, uneori si foarte slab pregatiti, iar birocratia si reguli stupide ii impiedica uneori si pe cei competenti sa faca treaba. Rezultatul este ca atunci cand au ocazia pozeaza in bau-bau mare si urat ca sa ii sperie pe toti potentialii raufacatori. Ca apar victime colaterale, ca acestea sunt raufacatori sau nu... pentru stat acestea sunt amanunte nesemnificative. Eu cred ca toate astea pleaca de la modelele curente de guvernamant bazate pe politica si nu pe aptitudini. Dar unde e legea? Victimele colaterale sunt considerate exceptii. Iar legea este.. regula. Adica multimi diferite, din pacate. Sper sa fi reusit... toate sunt materiale extraordinare...
Inca nu. Dar se va face. Da... foarte pe scurt, lucrurile stau asa: daca afli ceva ce pana acum a fost pus bine deoparte, ti se inchide gura. Daca vrei sa si distribui informatia, ti se taie si firul libertatilor.
Informatia vine cu o anumita responsabilitate. E clar ca de exemplu codurile de la rachete nu pot fi informatie publica si cine o detine trebuie sa-si tina gura. Problema nu e acolo. Problema este ca incompetenta este ascunsa sub "informatii clasificate", acoperite politic, iar cei care descopera asta si zic mai departe sunt tratati de zici ca ar fi zis codurile de la rachete. Politica curenta este de tip mafiot. Daca intelegi asta, intelegi si tot ce decurge din asta.

De exemplu, nici acum nu am reusit sa retin daca ultima explozie BTC a fost in 2016 sau 2017 desi acela a fost momentul in care a explodat si interesul meu fata de BTC odata cu pretul. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Nici eu nu tin bine minte datele, nu-i bai, se intampla. Dar in general ma uit pe graficele de pret sau pe alte stiri legate de subiect ca sa fiu cat de cat OK. Adica explozia anterioara de pret la Bitcoin a fost in 2017. Pe de alta parte, ca primul bloc de Bitcoin a fost minat in ianuarie 2009.. na, e data "istorica" si o tin minte ca atare ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Salutare la toata lumea, Sunt de ceva timp pe forum dar nu am scris nimic din cate vad ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Salut si bine ai venit! Pot zice ca sunt noob cand vine vorba de crypto desi am auzit de bitcoin de foarte mult timp dar am "ratat" oportunitatea cand a fost in fata mea ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . Acum incerc sa fiu mai inteligent si sa deschid ochii si urechiile cand vine vorba de crypto. Timpul nu este pierdut, doar sa fii un pic atent. Si daca macar ai citit ici-colo din 2017 pana acum, ar trebui sa ai tot ce-ti trebuie. Ca o poveste trista .... pot zice ca am deschis un cpuminer prin 2008 si a inceput sa mineze....dupa cateva minute nu imi parea nimic interesant si aia a fost, am inchis programul si am ignorat bitcoin si crypto pana in ziua de azi pretty much ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) As fi mai atent cu data pe care ai scris-o. Ca se pare ca ai minat dinainte sa existe Bitcoin. Si asta va deschide calea spre a fi luat la misto.
