Just make sure to shave off 30% of all your gains on interest fees alone! Crypto should always be purchased with cash you have already on hand, otherwise it cancels out almost unless it just goes through the roof. The time it'll take to go through the roof might not be worth it depending on the amount that you are purchasing.

I guess they just didn't do their research and assumed that because FTX fell that it was the end of crypto as we know it. SMH. It definitely put a huge damper on things and for quite a while if I might add but it was definitely not the end of Bitcoin as we know it. SBF is definitely going to pay for that 100 fold because he is not in for a fun future I don't think. Bitcoin is definitely strong, and just needs to sort out this Orinals issue...

I know this isn't exactly microsoft word but I am curious to know if you think that the Bitcoin Talk Forum is probably more real and authentic because of the lack of a spell check? I think that in addition to being able to guage intelect and a sort of personality traits to pick up from the readers perspective recognizing proper spelling habits in any users helps you know whether or not a person is out of character due to a hack or something of that sort and now we have an account under the control of a hacker/scammer. I think its honeslty great that we don't have a spell check because I think it always has you second guessing yourself and thus training you to always double or triple check your words on a public forum.
That means you are using phone, those computer browsers that I have used have spell check themselves. I think  Windows OS that I am using makes it like that. But on Android phone, I do not see spell check there. I use Edge browser and everything you wrote incorrectly are going to be highlighted in red under the words. Do not expect this forum to do all for you.

You are relating it to scammers and hackers. Don't your know that scammers and hackers can also write good English and use the right tools needed for it.

Yeah I guess I don't have this problem when I use my mac vs my android on a dell doc when I am writing many of my posts. Guarnateed I probably even have spelling/ grammer errors in this post. You also bring up a good point, that hackers would be more on point with their writing and just because people either might have bad grammer or spelling or whatever it doesn't mean that they lack intelect, maybe they are just in a huge rush or have other pressing matters to attend to? Who knows.
764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What we all learnt this 2023 on: December 30, 2023, 02:24:15 AM
I know I'm kinda new here to be giving out advice on this forum, nonetheless I've been on the crypto space for some years now and from my mistakes and personal experience I can say this:

👉 Don't take popular opinions as an investment advice. If there is anything I've truly learnt from my time in this forum, is not to follow popular opinions or crypto influencers. Making reference to a trend some months ago about bitcoin price reaching an ATH of 100k this year which is obviously not going to happen because of the current price and market conditions, I guess it would take the hand of God to make that happen and we aren't even sure if we are in a bull run or not.

👉 Stop relying on Telegram channels or Reddit groups for trade signals or investment advice. I know everyone has their decision and perspectives regarding to this but from my knowledge and complaints I've seen on this forum and other sources, most persons ends up with negative experiences from this.
Trading is risky and investment must be done wisely.
I recommend that you get some knowledge so you could do some analysis for yourself and check those signals before using them. This would help you have an idea of the risk your getting into.
Always do a good background check up before investing in any project.

👉 This advice might seem a little controversial, but I think it's helpful. Stop over diversification, what I call over diversification is putting your money in every crypto project that comes your way.
I think it's far better to have few crypto that you are constantly, than investing violently in so many project.


I 100% agree and would agrue that I am 100% in on BTC, as well as these other cryptos: ETH, XRP, I do like Monero, Solana definitely seems to have promise. Helium. HederaHashGraph/HBAR. That is pretty much all of the ones I like. The majority I am really HODLing on is all BTC, ETH, and XRP.

If you're considering changing your Btalk password be warned that everytime you do this BPIP can see that and show the whole world the exact date and time you changed your password lol. Just FYI. I think a lot of people probably are not aware of this fact so that is also the main reason why I am bringing that up.
767  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024 PROGRESS REPORT on: December 30, 2023, 01:35:31 AM
“The Past Milestones”, the index is just amazing and it’s making me read the book already. This is definitely going to be detailed book considering the index titles from domain registration to how it started with email communications, yeah that gives me good insight about this book and what is expected from it. I think we are going to have very nice book soon just because of one active and enthusiastic member.

I just wanna say, keep it up. I will contact you regarding donation after few days once I get my salaries rolled over by my employer. Being Bitcoin lover I would be more than happy to donate small share for your good work. All the very best mate. Hope to see your copy released real soon.  Smiley

I would have to agree each time I check this thread the progress is really looking good. I love how this is in the layout of a school text book. I'll definitely be looking forward to taking a gander at the "The Past Milestones" as well it'll be good to have a crisp synopsis of all the main events. Looking forward to seeing the final product. Please do put me on the list to purchase one when the time comes.

770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a Replacement for a College Savings Plan on: December 30, 2023, 01:06:49 AM
At this rate, I am seeing that now most corporate companies plan to remove the college degree requirement for jobs, which will transform the college education long term, and its looking like it won't even be needed unless you're going to be a PhD or a Lawyer etc etc.

The traditional mutual fund / 529 plan isn't really needed anymore if college isn't going to be a requirement, but now I am more so just thinking of a life savings plan is a much better and more flexible option. Maybe just set them each up a wallet and load x amount each making quarterly contributions. By the time they are old enough surely they would have more money in that account anyways compared to the mutual fund, right?



Don't fall for this trap. There are only a handful of companies where they do not look for a college degree to hire you if you have extraordinary talent. 99% of the companies still believe in meritocracy. The world you are dreaming of, is not going to happen in your lifetime. Probably few more generations will be needed to change this social system. So get a College degree and it is best if you can get a masters degree at least.

Saving in Bitcoin should be fine because Bitcoin has the potential to give you a great return which can cover your education cost. But be a little conservative and probably divide your investment to invest in both Bitcoin and mutual fund.

You're right for the most part I think albeit some companies will definitely overlook the college degree requirement for the right candidate that shows the right kind of moxy that they're looking for. This opens up a wide net and i'm sure it'll come with some sort of pay decrease and have some reciprical effects to the professionals that actually have degrees.

You're absolutely right with the notion that you should just invest in both Bitcoin and Mutual Funds. I like that and it honestly should not ever be just one or the other but taking each into account and thinking of each scenario having both surely couldn't ever hurt.

One can certainly hope right?! It that is the case then all of us would surely be very well off to do as we please Cheesy. That would be very cool to see happen, if we ever get to see that in our life time. That is a longgggg ways away though I mean we are talking nearly 30-40 years of HODLing, Bitcoin is not even this old yet. I suppose it is possible though! If each Sat was like $1 would be insaneee.
773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ordinals website is under a DDoS attack on: December 28, 2023, 03:21:50 PM
It is most definitely a criminal act, but regulators are at least catching up on the corporate level working with the insurance carriers to make it an absolute requirement to have an Endpoint Detection and Response solution in place before they can even get cyber insurance which is like an antivirus for business but w/ AI and much better lol. The irony in it all is that without the bad guys a whole industry wouldn't be there, the cyber insurance industry. It has an reciprical relationship, sort of like light and darkness, they go hand in hand. Which side are you on though?

For the personal computers and devices, I think its a shame that most people have no clue about cyber security or how to protect themselves or their data. I'm sure a lot of folks here are praising this effort to take down ordinals though due to the high fees lmao
774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Arthur Hayes Believes ETFs Might Cause the Demise of Bitcoin on: December 28, 2023, 03:07:57 PM
I think more so I would be afraid of the bitcoin market manipulation via ETF/Futures contracts trading. But at the same time these markets are completely stand alone from bitcoin and shouldn't have that much affect on the coin price but it honestly probably will have a huge impact. As good as it will be at the start for new money flooding into bitcoin i'm not so sure on the long term outlook if you're looking at it from that perspective and how they have manipulated markets like the precious metals markets.
775  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODLers, When Will You Sell? on: December 28, 2023, 02:59:17 PM
Once my coins are valuable enough to pay for my mortgage I would be happy to sell it. It has quite a ways to go. When it gets to that point I will have more freedom and disposable income because once my house is paid off my bills will be minimal, so at that point my new goal won't be to HOLD it'll be to focus all of my time and energy on acquiring more currency, starting my own business, and becomming self sufficient. I think this is a pretty good goal.  
776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally I did it (I am happy to join). on: December 24, 2023, 11:11:16 PM
Wow this is huge and congratulations on your first bitcoin! Keep holding and stacking and always hold the long term growth vision in mind. It is quite a roller coaster to be a bitcoiner, it won't be easy but it'll be worth it!
777  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Which mining stocks are holding? on: December 24, 2023, 11:09:14 PM

But I have failed to see any such mining setup and investments in the same till date that are legit and have not been scams.
If you are talking about cloud mining, then there are many difficulties in this business. The average miner has very few opportunities to buy cheap ASICs and get a good price for electricity, so most new small miners will now find it very difficult to compete with large mining companies.
Buying bitcoins or shares of mining companies is an individual choice. The stock market is more regulated by law, and many investors find it easier to buy shares while there is no Bitcoin ETF.

I think that there are some mining companies that will allow you to profit share if you invest in the hardware right? I think could mining is definitely the hot space right now. It's constantly advancing and these mining stocks are proving to be a great way to gain BTC exposure without actually buying the coin
778  Economy / Economics / Re: Learn to use DEBT in a proper way to create asset on: December 24, 2023, 11:06:38 PM
Robert K always talked about this, being able to utilize debt and the depreciation for tax benefits, I love how much of an advocate he is to BTC, also a huge gold and silver and of course real estate tycoon. I definitely need to brush up on utilizing these tax incentives better
779  Economy / Economics / Re: How to gain money on: December 24, 2023, 11:03:39 PM
You can start an online blog or mow your neighbors yard. You can trade stocks and day trade, go to thrift stores and flip things online, hVe chat gpt assist you in building a business. Buy bitcoin then wait for the number go upp
