I don’t think he’s done anything wrong. I think he has reinstated free speech mostly which is a huge positive. There will be no Twitter induced election interference this time which again is a huge positive. I think we will see that as a business, with the Twitter Blue initiative that it will be a far more profitable business which is uptikately the main goal for Elon.

In isolation it’s not a big deal but I really do believe that the mass money printing & abuse of power by the US with the $ as the world reserve currency will be their downfall. We already see with BRICS that countries are willing to take action & look elsewhere. Also bitcoin in the long term is a real threat to traditional currencies & banking.

I have no political beliefs, I do not vote to be honest but that’s another story. I think the recently leaked mugshot is hilarious though. I think Trump may use it in some way for his campaign movement in the next election. Either way though, the emotion he is displaying in the mugshot made me laugh.

Be cautious with personal information, avoid sharing sensitive details like passwords or financial information unless absolutely necessary. Always double & triple check emails, websites or callers before providing any information. Look for signs of legitimacy such as official email addresses or secure website connections.

Always use strong, unique passwords, create complex passwords for different accounts and consider using a password manager.

Be skeptical of unsolicited communication: Be wary of unexpected emails, calls, or messages asking for personal information or urgent action..

Keep software up to date, regularly update your operating system, antivirus & other software to ensure security patches are in place. Enable two-factor authentication, use this additional layer of security whenever possible to protect your accounts.
765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: August 27, 2023, 01:31:28 PM
It depends what your risk tolerance is & how much capital you have to invest. For me personally I would advise bitcoin only, I was an early adopter though so I am in a different position maybe. You can make more money in certain alts but you are playing the altcoin roulette then aren’t you. You are just as likely to get rugged or something. If you buy bitcoin now you could make 5 or 6 x your money in the bull run. If you buy the right alts you could do a lot more than 5 or 6 x. It depends how much risk you are comfortable with though.

I’ll pass on this centralised, spyware, government tracker thanks. I find it weird that people are willing to do this in exchange for a tiny bit of money. It would take a lot more for me to compromise my beliefs & self respect to scan my eye. Who knows what they could do with that info. It’s exactly the reason I never used facial recognition on my iphone or PC.

That’s awesome, he is a very smart guy. I don’t have an account but obviously I’m aware of what it is. That guy must be so wealthy, good luck to him though. Shame he didn’t buy bitcoin though, that’s one thing I’d say he could do better with his business plans.
768  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How really close is the world to REAL nuclear war? on: August 27, 2023, 04:32:04 AM
Tensions and conflicts exist but the world is actively working towards disarmament & peaceful resolutions. International efforts, treaties & diplomatic dialogues continue to promote nuclear non proliferation and de-escalation. It's crucial for nations to prioritise dialogue, cooperation & the pursuit of a safer world for everyone.
769  Economy / Economics / Re: Were Banks and Governments behind this Dump? on: August 25, 2023, 01:33:50 PM
I don’t think so to be honest. We always look for justification & a reason why the price goes down but most of the time it’s just organic price movements in a free market. Unless it’s major FUD or a black swan event i don’t think we need to pin a dump on any particular reason. We will go up again soon, no need to panic or over analyse short term price volatility.
770  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Past 3 days what did you brought in the crash? on: August 25, 2023, 01:08:13 PM
I’m fully maxed out for the next bull run to be honest. Good luck to anybody who’s bought this dip but hopefully it doesn’t go any lower & we start going up soon. We’ve had long enough to buy now, it’s time to make some tasty profits.
771  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not going to $12k. on: August 25, 2023, 12:19:09 PM
I thought 12k was definitely possible when we were under 20k. I think we are too close to the halving for a lower bottom now though. It would take a real black swan event to hit 12k. I mean it’s possible but very unlikely. We are out of the peak bear market now, you can call this an accumulation zone, just sitting in a relatively tight range, boring chopping.
772  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons Taken from Previous Bull Markets: How Will Your Approach Change? on: August 25, 2023, 11:40:44 AM
History doesn’t always repeat but it often rhymes. There are many charts that suggest this, so far bitcoin always has a boom, bust period which centres around the block reward halving. Do your own research but selling around 12-18 months after the halving & buying back after that, on the way down over the following 12-18 months has always been a hit.
773  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Crash may take bitcoin to 1M dollar on: August 25, 2023, 10:32:44 AM
It’s all hypothetical but bitcoin could definitely reach $1,000,000. The thing is, in the event of a major economic crash & what that brings, money printing etc, what will $1,000,000 buy you?

I will take my chances though because $1,000,000 per coin would be great. I think we are looking at post 2036 halving for that kind of price though.
774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strategies of Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation and Their Motivations on: August 25, 2023, 09:16:44 AM
Their motives are in all likelihood, no different to ours. They want to protect the value & purchasing power of their balance sheet. Inflation is running wild, a stealth tax that is melting away the value of their funds. Bitcoin has proven to be a great inflation hedge over the last decade so they are looking at it we a way of protecting what they have. They may have a lot more money than us but the motives are the same.
775  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin Millionaire Remains Optimistic About DOGE Despite Significant Losses on: August 25, 2023, 08:19:31 AM
I saw his Tweet, being down in crypto portfolio’s is nothing new for any of us who have been around for multiple cycles. All it takes is patience though to be back in serious profits.

I’m not a big fan of DOGE but he will be back to all time highs again within a couple of years. He is an experienced guy, he will not be panicking. His $3,000,000 will probably return to be $10,000,000 or more within 2 years because that’s how crypto works.
776  Economy / Economics / Re: Blackrock invest in ukraine on: August 25, 2023, 08:09:44 AM
That's what US always wanted! If you think the Russia - Ukraine war is happening because of Putin, you are living in fool's paradise.

I agree, Zelensky should be nominated for an Oscar soon. Seriously though, things like this have been happening since First World Governments were formed. As normal, regular people we will never know what is really going on behind the scenes.
777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't wait for the bottom without buying in the Dip. on: August 23, 2023, 01:41:17 PM
Nobody can time the bottom, you’re extremely unlikely to be able to buy the absolute bottom (if it’s not in already @ 15.8k or whatever it was). We are currently at support but anything near ir below 20k is a great buy. Don’t obsess with the bottom, the time to buy is when everybody else is panicking. I don’t see much panic right now so maybe there is another leg down. Bitcoin will be over 100k before 2026 though so there isn’t much difference between buying now or at 21k for example.
778  Other / Politics & Society / Re: North Korea's Kim Jong Un dismisses top general, calls for war preparations on: August 23, 2023, 10:31:08 AM
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to any rumours of Kim Jong Un posturing to start a war. There are always suggestions North Korea will mobilise & start an attack on another country but it’s always just rumours. There would be too much danger from ocher nations for North Korea to risk it. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.
779  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Is bitcoin still threading on market billboards? on: August 22, 2023, 08:23:12 PM
I have come to a decision after many bad experiences, I will stay away from all news, analysis, and recommendations and follow DCA's long-term Bitcoin strategy.

This is the best solution. Empty your head and get away from all this.

You have your head screwed on the right way Smiley

Too many people involved in bitcoin overcomplicate things. A simple but effective, regular DCA for multiple years is a winning set up.
780  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think privacy is important for a beginner? on: August 22, 2023, 07:18:36 PM
Privacy is important in all parts of life, not strictly confined to cryptocurrency. You should protect your privacy & personal info, financial info etc at all costs. Poor levels of privacy can lead to identity theft, fraud, all kinds of things.

Bitcoin wise, KYC on only a couple of mainstream exchanges & practise self custody. Do not tell people you own bitcoin.
