Quick impression: you need to change the font colors of both light/dark modes a bit. The gray texts simply need a bit more contrast to be easier on the eyes. Yes, me personally since my eyes are fine(and a lot of us here), I can read everything clearly. But when designing UIs, we also need to take into consideration people with vision impairment and such so everyone will have a better experience. You wouldn't like some of them to be doing this "can't read" facial expression: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXgJ2vfN.png&t=665&c=tR5vJouxAV1mlg) I mostly like it though, so good job!

Yeah Electrum is what i trusted for long now , pero not familiar with Bluewallet kabayan , mind sharing me one trusted apps? na BlueWallet ?
BlueWallet: https://bluewallet.io/and yes, reputable rin ang BlueWallet. Though again, Ledger/Trezor/Coldcard hardware wallet parin para sa mga malalaking halaga. And also Anyone Using GreenWallet address ? specifically BlockNet ?
BlockNet? Separate cryptocurrency ba to? Or you mean Blockstream Green wallet? https://blockstream.com/green/

Though I'm definitely NOT discrediting BitcoinFX here(because he surely deserves all the praise from his help), don't forget that 1 BTC was worth FAR far less back in 2010 compared to today. All of the examples are from 2010-2014 and a time when bitcoin wasn't worth as much as it is today. I would have liked to include a few newer cases, but I didn't come across such examples during my search. There is an ongoing discussion if 1 bitcoin is always 1 bitcoin. It started in the ChipMixer signature campaign thread and there is now a separate thread dedicated only for discussing if 1 BTC = 1 BTC or not. If we are going by the logic that 1 BTC is always 1 BTC, there shouldn't be any difference between a case from 2011 and one from 2020. If we consider the fiat values of the bitcoin involved, the difference is huge. Yea, totally aware of that interesting discussion(I even posted a link to that thread on the ChipMixer thread to stop the off-topic discussion). I actually thought twice with my response as I totally knew I was pretty much setting myself up with this reply of yours. 🤣 Still, kudos for creating a very nice thread nonetheless!

BitcoinFX just gave 500btc to help out? That's quite noteworthy. Yet I've seen people give him little respect here in recent times. Guy should be treated like royalty in retrospect.

Bybit[1] and FTX[2] seems to be the two most-used margin trading exchanges of crypto traders on Twitters since last year. While I don't have any opinions on both since I don't really do margin trading, I suggest checking them out. Dyor.

Which coin do you have
Bitcoin. which coin you do not have?
Everything else. Greyscale is back, and they reopen bitcoin trust,bitcoin cash trust, ethereum classic trust,horizen trust,Litecoin trust. Hold any of them?
Since most people here are retail investors, I would be surprised if there was at least 5 people here on Bitcointalk(out of hundreds of thousands) invested in any of Grayscale's crypto trusts.

Let me ask you the question instead.
Do you actually think bitcoin will still be priced a lot higher from here in the future? If your answer is yes, then buy in. If not, then don't. It's pretty simply.
As for buying dips, what if it doesn't dip again for a while? Then you're stuck with your fiat money waiting for bitcoin to crash.
My advice: put yourself in a situation where you win regardless if bitcoin drops in price or not. Probably put in half your investing money, where you win when bitcoin rises in price, but you still have investing money left to buy in when bitcoin ends up crashing.

Probably this is the feeling of the new investors who didn't yet understand how investing in crypto works. As a crypto investor, we should know from the start that there's a risk upon your investment. The volatile market makes your Bitcoin amount value fluctuate but actually, your Bitcoin will remain the same, so nothing to worried about. If you invested 1 Bitcoin it will remain 1 Bitcoin, if the value towards dollars has been decreased, you should wait further to see your profit. Don't sell when the price is low, that is insane.
Getting nervous is normal, but don't panic and hold your Bitcoin until such then you will successfully get your profit.
Funnily enough, having control over your emotions ain't even just bitcoin/crypto-specific as a lot of people think; it's actually for investing in general, and it's been a really really common advice for decades. Here's one famous quote from Benjamin Graham(author of The Intelligent Investor, Buffett's favorite investing book): "Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process.". ^and this dude died in 1976. This advice has been THAT old.

Noon .1 BTC lang naimbak ko sa coins.ph way back 2017 before magbull run, tapos nakita ko dito sa forum na mas maganda daw yung Electrum, ayun yung una kong non-custodial wallet.
Assuming na nasayo parin ung .1 BTC(or more), and since mas malaki na ung halaga nyang .1 BTC, sana napagdecide na nating gumamit ng hardware wallet. Affordable lang ang Ledger Nano S. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

He/she either uses it(probably unlikely if he/she's buying a lot), or he/she resells the gift cards that's been bought with a bigger price premium on other platforms, for more money.

Yes, but must have been a great period in 2009-2010. Faucets giving 5 BTC, Pizza for 10,000 BTC, buying 1 BTC for a few cents... must have been quite an adventure. I regret missing it for all the fun involved not to mention the amount of BTC I could have saved.
I totally get what you mean; you know, buying bitcoin so cheap that it's almost like you're just buying play money. Sounds lovely, ain't it? But mate, you gotta be very happy getting in THAT early. I'm guessing most of us here came into this space at 2016/2017 or later. You had a 4-year head start! and 4 years is a pretty pretty sizeable amount of time.

Depending on what certain month you've found out about Bitcoin, it's pretty much priced only around $100-$600(via CMC). That's pretty damn cheap and sure is damn early to me; also knowing that you had enough time(4-5 years) to snag some at sub $1000.
Personally, I've gotten into Bitcoin in 2016 when the price was around $700. And though that's hella cheap as well, I didn't have money to start with back then unfortunately, and it didn't take much time to climb into the 4-digit range.

I think they can reach mass adoption if they have solved the problem of their own logistics, logistics is the biggest problem because most decentralized market are frowned upon by traditional market that favors those behind the curtains. Remember Silk Road, they were the spearhead of a decentralized market although their products are illegal one, they still set a possibility that that kind of system could work.
Decentralized exchanges aren't really illegal. And regardless of regulations, I don't think people would really care at all unless the government straight-off criminalizes it. It's even safe to assume that majority of people don't even pay capital gains tax over their trades/investments.

If you were in my shoe, what would you've told a person that says bitcoin is a ponzi scheme created to scam people?
Pretty simple, to be honest. How can a mere asset, not an entity/business/organization, scam people? It's like saying that you can get scammed by a rock. In real life though? If simple explanations like what I've said isn't enough to convince the person, then I really don't even bother. In the end, he/she's the one that's going to miss out on gains anyway, not me. To put it using Satoshi's words: " If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."

Not sure how you can "directly" purchase through a hardware wallet, but you can purchase bitcoin through a non-KYC exchange like LocalCryptos[1] for a 0.75% fee, which is a pretty reasonable fee imo; excluding the fees of the payment processor you're going to use.

Once(and if) they actually plan on going public and go the IPO route then you're going to get that opportunity. Pre-IPO/seed-stage though? Unless you're an accredited investor, then nope.

How come you didn't include localbitcoins and binance? Do they require ID?
LocalBitcoins do require identification, while you won't need identification with Binance if you're only planning on trading cryptocurrencies(but with a maximum of 1-2 BTC trades per day if I remember correctly).
