Completely depends eh. For what purpose? For investing? For paying for stuff? For hodling? Dipende nalang talaga. Pero mostly basics of Bitcoin lang naman ang importante. Though undoubtedly better, hindi nilang kailangang malaman lahat ng deep technical stuff.

Basically: security, supply cap, issuance rate, p2p and decentralized, and other basic characteristics.

Knowledge is power. People should educate themselves on how to not fall for scams, and how to decently secure their funds. Hardware wallets, non-custodial wallets, etc etc all those stuff na nasabi na a thousand times dito sa Bitcointalk.

Meron tayong pinned thread dito sa section natin about sa security topic(by yours truly): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215182.0

Funnily enough, even without cryptocurrency, natatago parin ng mga corrupt government officials and ill-gotten wealth nila. Through off-shore banks and through sa mga connections nila dito sa Pilipinas.

Show us at least one single proof that Coinbase and Bitstamp are actually buying this fidgetspinner shitcoin for themselves. I'll wait. Unless you're talking out of your ass again.

He could if he finds a company that fits his requirements in terms of the company's balance sheet and financials. But then again, bitcoin mining companies pretty much fits the "tech" category, which again, he's not interested in because it's not in his circle of competence.

People really need to stop fantasizing about Buffett buying bitcoin because this isn't going to happen.

Ripple is literally being sued by The US Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC); you call that FUD? Also, not sure what's the point in defending a useless token that's just made as a cash grab by Ripple Labs.

1. Buffett himself doesn't make moves on tech, and they only invest in things that produces cash flow.
2. Berkshire Hathaway didn't invest in gold. They invested in a gold mining company. Huge difference.

Cool statistic, but meh. Comparing the marketcap of a digital asset to a business simply just doesn't make that much sense. Call me when bitcoin reaches gold's marketcap.

Or you know, maybe he/she just decided to not visit Bitcointalk and do something else with his/her time instead. 🤷‍♂️ A certain user doesn't need a bizarre reason to stop using an online forum.

Have you at least tried contacting their support? Because I doubt anyone here knows the answer to your question. Only them would be able to answer your question.

Look. Rich people will obviously have more money to invest. But regardless how much money you have, you will be making the same amounts of money(percentage wise) compared to the institutional investors.

With stuff like stocks, a lot of the times, VCs and seed investors get to invest first before retail. With bitcoin, it's A LOT more of an equal playing field. Literally anyone could've bought bitcoin when it was still in cents value per coin; there was no priority for accredited investors and all that jazz.

Basically your "authority" over the niche(which in this case, is Bitcoin/crypto). And when I say that both your websites are "too niche", it's because not only that your sites only cater to Bitcointalk users, only a small minority of Bitcointalkers are only going to be interested in looking up statistics(using your sites).

But then again, I'm pretty sure both you and LoyceV aren't expecting to rank super high on Google's search results in the first place so it's fine.

Looking back in the past, though a lot of people surely stopped being interested in Bitcoin, it's probably safe to assume that a lot of people learned their lessons and used non-custodial wallets after they lost their funds with the past big exchange hacks(e.g. MtGox, Bitfinex).

There's nothing we can do in the most part, because a lot of people seem to prefer learning the hard way.

In the case of both of those sites, their domain authority rating is really really low(understandably so because they're too niche), so their SEO effect is pretty much nonexistent.

Quick note that if you're using a non-custodial wallet(which you definitely should) whereas you can set your own custom fees, you really don't need to pay higher fees if you're not in a rush. You can just set the fees to like 20-50sats/b if you don't urgently need the funds yet.

If you're referring to the hefty fees on exchanges, then you're out of luck.

Sure, Coinbase does have customer support that could help you with your issues, but most of the potential issues(wallet freezes, server downtime, etc) you can get with services like Coinbase you can't even get from using a good non-custodial wallet.

Assuming that these companies hold their bought bitcoin for a long time, then yes. Them buying a huge number of bitcoin means that a huge amount of bitcoin is taken off the market.

I don't think 2 weeks is enough to feel their buying in my opinion. If something would affect the price in the short term, it would be the news of them buying, not the buying itself.

I’d agree with your statements concerning security improvement; but let’s not also for get that with security advancing, hackers are also getting a lot smarter. And besides, it’s not as if exchanges aren’t even getting hacked these days.. https://cryptosec.info/exchange-hacks/

I totally hate altcoin spammers(or spammers in general) probably as much as you do, but it would probably be a bad move in a business perspective. Doing that would most definitely decrease user activity(both legitimate and spam) hence potentially decreasing demand from ad space buyers. Mods/admins just need to be more strict concerning spammers especially on that specific section. Especially recently whereas we’ve been getting hit by more spammers, it’d probably be a great idea for Theymos to hire more forum mods.

If I remember correctly, I definitely saw links. It’s just that some of those posts has the link sort of hidden one way or another; by adding the URL tag on a “ . “ or something like that.

Basically people who doesn’t know much about SEO and backlinks as far as I know. As if getting backlinks on sites(like Bitcointalk) that aren’t even in their niche(viagra, sports links, etc) helps.

When these companies buy bitcoin, they don’t do it on spot exchanges(e.g. Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc). They do it on Over The Counter(OTC) platforms. For the simple reason that buying huge amounts of bitcoin on spot exchanges would easily shoot up the price, ending up with them buying lower amounts of bitcoin units; and they obviously wouldn’t want that. They would want to get as much bitcoin as they can with their money so they buy them directly, as so they would only have indirect effect on bitcoin’s price.

It sure seems like Binance and Coinbase are pretty secure due to their cold wallets being unbreached. Though yes both seem to be great platforms(security wise), let’s not forget that giant exchanges like MtGox and Bitfinex were also deemed “very secure” by a lot of people in the past. And we all know how it ended..
