I would consider this another "windfall" story where luck and time are working together to make the lady painter gained a lot...with just $50 worth of Bitcoin many years or in 2013. That year will always be remembered by this woman for the lifetime. Well, that is life...many times we are surprised to see and hear myriad of amazing stories - including of course with those related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. I guess we should be applying for any available painting jobs these days and make sure to be receiving crypto as payment - and yes I am just joking.
There are many things wrong with this bounty. First the site link is not working. The Twitter link is not of Ariva Wonderland. Facebook has a wrong spelling...can this be a legit one?
I think the same thing is happening here in my country...there is no formal pronouncement of the policy of accepting Bitcoin but it is allowed to be used as a medium of exchange. There is actually no need to be fully follow what El Salvador did on this matter. What is important is that Bitcoin is given an open status and not what China did to cryptocurrency and mining which was then unfortunate. I am looking forward to rise of Bitcoin transactions coming from the people of Namibia...proving once more that Africa is becoming like the new frontier for cryptocurrency especially that of Bitcoin.
While it is true that the more people/organizations are holding and even trading Bitcoin, the better it would be for its future, we can never do a lot when it comes to ownership. Even if we are going to be giving away Bitcoin regularly, whales would still be in a better position to influence the general marketplace. Anyway, there is no restrictions for anyone to get hold of Bitcoin as this is an open market. Now, just wondering how many people in the world are owning company stocks...can we say stocks can be faring better than Bitcoin? Or about gold...for that matter?
In my own opinion, at its initial stage of an official global recession, cryptocurrencies would be following the lead of other investment assets but as time goes on the market can see that it can be the best alternative hence there can be a growing interest maybe in the middle of the recession cycle. Of course, with cryptocurrency anything can happen so it would just be better to be hoping for the best and yet preparing for the worst.
I am glad to see that most of the exchanges I am using right now are not on the list...but anyway since I am not holding a lot of coins and tokens on exchanges I think am generally safe in case something bad can happen when Craig Wrong will be gone mad. Craig never fail to be "relevant" in a bad way...as he and his team are always concocting something maybe just to land on the news and to be creating havoc on other people and organizations. This man should be in jail now by being a fraud, liar and shameless crock.
There can still be ways to get into Bitcoin without you divulging your information. You can use decentralized exchanges for the same purpose though am not so sure if this is very much advisable with those residing in USA where regulations are getting stricter and stricter. Aside from that P2P can also be the best one...here in my country there are people who are selling and buying Bitcoin...and doing a private transaction can still be possible. Now, I am aware that regulations are getting bigger and bigger for the cryptocurrency industry and soon there can be more things to do and to fulfill for people who are in this industry.
Let me see if I can still remember the first time for me to ever heard on Bitcoin. In my recollection, I think I must gotten into it via Facebook all because some of my online friends started to get of Bitcoin and so they started talking. Actually, BTC is not my first ever coin I hold but something like a scam TBC where everyday growth of the value is guaranteed. Then I started to get interested with bounties where back then many people really made good money...just like a newly opened goldmine.
The use of energy that could have gone to waste has been discussed for a long time now...and it is good to see it is now being picked up by companies doing business in the oil generation industry. Soon, we might be hearing the dictator and evil Putin ordering that wasted gas within his country be used for Bitcoin mining. The idea is actually good as we are talking here of energy that will surely be released to the environment...though of course am not sure how rigid environmentalists can be viewing this whole thing but for me this is definitely a lot better. Hope more and more can looking at this plausible idea.
There are so many good ideas on how to be using Bitcoin to be helping the environment. One, we can make volunteers clubs all over the world and make them part of the clean-up movement and use the garbage collected for energy generation which can used to mine Bitcoin. And we can be paying volunteers with tokens of appreciation using Bitcoin. Of course, I am not so sure if my idea can be workable.
I don't get that much what is or are the points that OP is trying to tell us. Just because there can be people that bought Bitcoin as much as they can does not mean that Bitcoin is only for the rich. Are you aware that even with just $10 you can buy BTC in so many exchanges including DEXs? The problem with some is the idea that one must be holding at least 1 BTC...which can really be beyond the reach of many most especially in countries outside of the developed world. We can never stop BTC to be traded openly and because this is the case it is actually the marketplace that generally determines the price and the direction it is going. Now, you are complaining now that BTC is still around $20K...how much more if it could be reaching again at its ATH at around $60K? If you are planning to get BTC as much as you want then the time is now...and no one is getting BTC by just whining.
