You have done the right thing, i am agreed with you, Because from what i understand with your post, is: Your Friend had not a slight idea of BTC, He/she might be thinking of it as a scam or useless tokens which might have no value. And when you show him the value of some BTC which you might have, Then he must be convinced.

I hope my father would know about BTC because if he will, he definitely would teach me, i sometime thinks, what if i came to know about BTC back in 2010. I might be rich but for now i am not regretting on that instead moving forward with future.

Don't judge a book by its cover, Evey newbie on this platform does not mean he will be noob in knowing BTC. Well, you definitely spent a long time here so you will have more knowledge then i have or OP have. But, judging others knowledge is not advice able, as from the acts of OP i agreed with him because if he is sharing the true story then there was no need to judge him/her.

What is WO members, is this some kind of group. I also hit watch button on this thread but first it took me a while to find my watchlist (like how can i access it) then even i find the watchlist option which was right in front of my face, i opened it and this thread didn't showed there. Like it is not showing in the watchlist even i have click on the watch option. But thanks for the heads up, i will dig more into this matter.
This TryNinja tool is a best i think, from what i have observed by just reading the OP post, i think this tool will be handier than the watchlist option. Thanks a lot dear for helping me here. I think this Ninja's tool will do the work fine.

I understood what you are tried to said, my purpose was not to just rephrase it instead i was relating odusko's post with your's suggestion and as far as i think, i didn't rephrase the post i wrote it as you said. Other than that, i totally understand the meaning of both of your suggestion and if i rephrase it or write it in my own words then it will be like do not fall prey to market sentiments like FOMO, FUD etc.

Yes dear i also tried to say the same i think my English is getting weaker so please forgive me for that.

Noted, its a good advice i will try to follow it. Thanks.

Why, is it something bad in using them? or is it you who do not use them for criticization only. Well, how could i make everyone to read my post because currently i am mentioning you and no other person will try to read it as they only read the post (obviously) in which they are being mentioned. Well i am bolding my request maybe someone help me out here. How could i get notification whenever a member will mention me?

Despite all of the features you have talked about, i would like to emphasize that China which hates cryptocurrency so much and tried many times to manipulate the market. Ha chose an alternative way to Leverage the Blockchain technology means the features of BTC and Blockchain. Point being made here is, Countries are looking for alternative ways to adopt it. Why? Because they know the benefits it will bring to them, and another thing is US is already getting so much profit from crypto so why other countries would leave behind.

They are also trying very hard to adopt BTC for example, Japan and Hong Kong are the main hubs right now of NFTs and Web3 and Metaverse platforms.

I am agree with with points but those points are not convincing because most of the people might not value anonymity so, how would we convince them. With lower fee transactions? But a thing worth 3$ has 5$ as transaction fee so merchants are ignoring this as payment method

It's still achievable and worth a lot for believer of American Dream. For example, in America women could easily do their jobs but in many countries where women are restricted in homes only. Not targeting any race but still many people of backward mindset still exist. So, for those women American Dream is a thing because those who wanted to become a Doctor, Engineer, etc. could fulfil their dreams in America.

That's what American Dream mean, the land where dream comes true when you put hard work. Hardwork is the most necessary thing, if one is not willing to make efforts and still will think that he/she will fulfill their dreams in America then America is not some fairytale world. It's just a country where opportunities are available and if not then could be created.  

I always wanted to earn money, Passive source of money, but i have seen many people going to UK Canada but not a single one in my relative or friend zone has ever gone to US. So, i cannot say that life is hard there but i can say one thing for sure UK and Canada's life is not easy. Many people are sleeping on the roads (talking about immigrants). I do not want to leave my country, because my dreams could be fulfilled remotely  

I could understand what you are saying, i have seen few motivational videos too in which many people tried to emphasize the importance of getting knowledge of How BTC could also make your life miserable if you will not follow or set some rule for yourself. Because, market is volatile and i definitely have to be careful. But from what i have understood from jayjuangee last reply to me.

Holding is better but doing DCA, Lump sum and buying at every dip is good. instead of putting 10% of your savings in BTC for like 10 years. Instead of that invest 1 whole years savings by following some holding ethics and see the gains you will get. I liked that idea and it is far better. So, again i totally agree with you too.

Invest with what you could lose to afford. Is the saying i have heard a lot in short period of time so, i am taking care of my personal expenses first before jumping into investing in BTC. But currently market is full of FOMO for me. Like i don't think i would  get this opportunity again.

IS there any settings here to get notifications when someone call your name or mention you. Because i have to visit this thread to see if someone replied me back or not. I posted on many other topics too but do not if someone has replied me back so without getting into discussions like back to back on WhatsApp we do is not a fun. I am roaming around in search of topics where someone might be called or mentioned me.

Today i collected all my energy to give reply back to you, as just after my last reply to you network service went down for like 2 days in my country's big cities. The reasons was some Religious groups were taking out a procession so to provide them top notch level security our government authorities planned to shut down network service. And after that, when i read your post, i was like, oh shit you must have smoking something because writing that long is not an easy task.

Well, i just ready your reply and it was informative, encouraging, and motivational for me. And thanks for spending so much time just to give that information for free of cost as nothing is free nowadays. And i also found my idea of saving in local currency bad because it will just lose value. So, i think i should buy some USD instead of some bonds because i do not like bonds. I like currency which i could at least predict about.

And Chinese (governments) are still making profits from crypto space by using Hong Kong so, i must say they were not off the game ever. All they did is took some precautions.

I might be missing some points to reply back on but overall, i now understand i am not the blank slate because you like to write that long. So best of luck with such writing i should suggest you to start some blog etc. which i think you already have thought about. So, thanks for your words. And i will try to save 10 million Satoshi someday And i really liked the idea of not Investing 10% of wage on BTC but instead Investing whole year wage for all in once by following your method of DCA or lump sum buying on dump etc. And to get all gains in once for all. Instead of waiting 10 years.

To get information about Bitcoin you must have to spend some time in Bitcoin Section where you will find my useful boards such as Bitcoin Discussion and Technical Discussion etc. One you started to spend time, in wallet, Technical, support, exchanges, Bitcoin discussion boards. You will find use full topics.

I know you must be thinking what topics is, what is section and thread, i hope i could share pic of those but i can't do that because as a newbie we can't even upload pic here. We have to get some rank and activity to gain the trust here and i think to assure the moderators that we are committed to this platform. PS: It's a piece of information for you.

I am also new here but have some knowledge about BTC and love to explore more and one thing made me love this platform which is this platform is officially one and the creators of BTC are present here. like the satoshi Nakamoto was here. Can you believe that. you ca literally see his some post and the first BTC trade of Pizza was also advertised here and that person is also here on bitcointalk.

List is so long but i will try to write only few basic characteristics of Cryptocurrency that distinguish it from financial system.

• Decentralization is the first thing that crypto provide us
• Anonymity, self-custody, full confident on our funds, full control on our funds.
• You get to make agreement/smart contracts that can become helpful even using the BTC blockchain as it consists of timelock feature to execute smart contracts after fulfillments of some conditions. And the main thing is all of such agreements will be Decentralized.
• Decentralized means no one could interfere with the agreement terms or go against it.
• In financial system you don't has such features.

Other than above, there are many other things that are unique in Crypto but are not present in Traditional Financial System.

I mentioned some features and such features have huge use cases. And i could also mention a lot but a newbie like me is smart enough to make some use cases out of such features. Like where anonymity, decentralization, Full control of our own assets, etc. came handy.

Yeah, i am really new to this forum, but i am not new to bitcoin. Few months ago, i was interested in making money by doing trading. So, i started to spend some time in watching anything related to cryptocurrency either its BTC or Alts. So, i came to know that, before investing in BTC, i should be prepare for loss too, and i should have great analyzing skills which i definitely lack and i came to see many charts which makes no sense. But then i came to know about trading and holding. And there i knew, holding is for me. And i think in your last paragraph, you also tried to explain that holding or accumulating BTC is better than buying on dips. Like, means the same as trading. Someone buying at dips looking for short term gains while holder do'nt do that.

And i get it, from quite some time, i try to accumulate BTC but not able to do that. Many reasons don't know where to start. Well, one reason is to accumulate 1 BTC i need 8,495 days. According to stompix. Other is Crypto is ban in my country, so i think i should save some money in my local currency, so that when the bans will be lifted i could buy some BTC. I know i can still buy it but i don't want any issues. so, neat and clean is best for everyone.

Do you often right that long replies or its just me who needs that much explanation. Feeling like a blank slate. 

Ap log yeh app now playstore sy bi download kr sktain hain, is app ko release 21 july sy kiya howa hai so mai nhi janta agr kisi or ny already yeh news share ki ho.

And in ky ilawa 1 or naya khiladi medan my utr chuka hai jis ka naam Anthropic hai jo apna software claude 2 release kry ga ya phr kr diya hai. or news ky according yeh Paid AI tools sy kafi bhtr ho ga. Mera Favuorit AI tool to wesy GPT hai, because sb sy phly isy chalana shuruh kiya tha or kafi asan bi hai, koi cheez na bi pta chlai to yaha sy pouch leta hoon. Mostly my jo myths hoti hai wo pouchta hoon yaha sy.

For example, mery aba mujhy khty hai fan slow kr lo nhi to bijli ka bill zayada ay ga, mai ny soucha chlo yeh confirm kr lety hain to waqai jb zayda taiz fan ko chlain gy to zayda bijli lgti hai or zayda bll ay ga. Drasl kafi logo ny mujhy kaha tha asa nhi hota. Ap log ny bi koi na koi asi cheez search ki ho gi jo purany log kaha krty hongy?

Mai ny abhi expertopnion ki post dekhi or soucha ky mai bi to new hoon or mai ny apni definition to krwai nhi. Mera name Imran hai, Wo ex prime minister wala Imran Khan nhi sirf Imran. Or mai Pakistan ka rhashi hoon. Exact location share krny sy guraiz krta hoon. Ap logo sy mil ky acha lga. i hope hamari achi bonding ho gi.

Thanks a lot for helping, i didn't have the authority to post image currently, so i posted source link too. And definitely these ETFs are putting some pressure on BTC price. If i am not wrong, then i think you are preferring to Dates. Like in the columns of Next Deadline and Final Deadline. We can see final deadline of most of the ETFs are in 2024 and that exactly when the Halving will start.

Now i started to doubt that BTC price might fall to $25k too. Because till 2024 we might not see any good news like ETFs and other so till then we might see more dumps. Well, that's good news for those who still didn't took entry but bad for those who took entry at current market price.

True, there is a saying for it as "All that glitters is not gold" i have read many stories in my school and childhood life. Still observing many events like these where big or promising projects, represent them as the best investments projects but instead they just luring you into phishing scams.

I totally agree with you and will always remain care full, i have seen many examples, like the recent one. SCAM or not ?. we should all remained careful either we are newbie or not because human mind is full of feelings and once a human mind falls for some phishing scheme it become difficult to get out of it. So best practice is not to look at such schemes and always do proper research.

I am glad for your journey and how this forum helped you a lot. This is very encouraging for me because I still have many doubts about this platform. For example, is my time worth enough that I spend it here? Because I can do other things that might bring money and knowledge to the table, is investing here worthy enough?

So far, I've read some good topics here, but I think I should extend my interest from the Bitcoin discussion to other sections too. Because I am mostly interested there. I just visited this section, and I will start to visit others too. The forum will get exciting for me when it adds some value to my time too. Till then, I am hoping to get some value.

Gee mai smj gya, mai ny unki edit ki howi post ab dekhi unho ny jo source diya hai us my pic wohi hai, actually mai ny unki post ka title google pr search kiya or jo news mai ny as source di hai apko. wo news and compromise ki news ka data same tha mai ny dono ka data padha or same tha to mai ny soucha chlo iska source share kr deta hoon. Ky ya phr source wohi hona chahiya? mtlb agr data same hai to lga bohat ho ga ky pic bi same hona chahiya. And faisal mujhy idea nhi tha ky pic ka same hona zarori hai nhi to mai google lens ka use kr leta. but thanks dono ka for ghlti nikalny ky liya.

Haha, An ETF investor be like hey broo did you invested in BRRR. . the ticker names are funny though, Well the other company ARK shares have a good ticker name (AKRB) which is better, but this BRRR doesn't make any sense. I doubt why would traditionally people about many news outlets are talking about. Saying these are the main targeted audience of these upcoming ETFs. Because when companies will get registered via governments such people will start to invest in it.

I hope those traditional and well sophisticated people like this ticker BRRR I should make some meme on it.

It might be a shame for us because sometimes others get lucky and get the job while we don't due to our lack of experience. So, it's not a new thing in the crypto industry that employees demand experience. Because this field is so sensitive, most companies prefer to hire those who have good skills in the basics of law and in other fields, like all-over fielders. But most of the time, those companies that aim to scam others always hire a freelancer with good skills. They don't want their users or new users to be skeptical about their services if there are mistakes in the UI and Content.

But, as Ultrloa said, we should grab every opportunity we get. Because it will just add some experience to our portfolio, but that can also be forged in crypt space. But still, if you have good hands-on knowledge of the basics of law, that could add more value to their decision-making, and the more you put on the table, the better your chances of getting hired.

I think the rank on this platform doesn't mean it will represent the level of knowledge one has. Because me as a newbie think that i better understand why we needed BTC and why we don't need fednow service. One of the many reasons are:

• BTC is decentralized and not managed by some single entity or governments thus cannot be stopped by them while FedNow can be stopped by government.
• BTC provides you full ownership without showing your personal identity while on FedNow you have to fill forums and have to integrate with Banks
• Banks always manipulate your money whether you use their service FedNow to send from one place to another, the transaction could be used too, For bad purposes. But BTC transactions cannot be manipulated.
• You have a limit on sending and receiving money through FedNow while if you are going to send or receive money on BTC core wallet or any SPV wallet then you have no limits.

I think these facts are enough to remind you why we need BTC and why we don't need some instant payment service.

I do not think they picked the wrong time, because halving is coming in 2014 and before that the market will make a dump due to such huge amount of BTC selling and thus will provide a good chance for every investor to enter the market at lower prices. That's why they are making efforts to approve ETFs and that's the only reason they are delaying the ETFs approval.

I was making another post reply but i came to know about this post and op you have shared a good piece of information which directly indicates that we are not going to see any uptrend or bullish cycle many people are talking about in 2024. Because that's not going to happen.

in my idea this process of selling huge amount of BTC will create more supply in the market and if the supply increased the demand then there will be a decrease in the price of BTC. And if supply decreased over demand, then the price will increase. And i think i have heard another news few weeks ago just like it in which they are selling BTC in Batches.

Means to say, there is a topic made in which OP mentioned how many BTC are seized by US governments and those seized BTC are then sold by them and every time they sell it through on-chain. Bitcoins held by the US government.

few days back they also sold some seized BTC from the Silk Road and at that time market was also around 29k$ and in my opinion the current situation of the market is due to this issue. But such incidents also indicates that if they are selling this huge amount of BTC then there must be a buyer on the hands too willing to buy this BTC. So, we should overcome our fear and FUD. because such news might create panic and thus selling of BTC will increase the supply of over demand and this factor will decrease the price greatly.
