Microstrategy and Michael Saylor are indeed fully into "Bitcoin". Institutional investors
generally are not buying Bitcoin they are more happy to have a certificate to say they own
Bitcoin leaving it up to the ETF provider to make the transaction of acquiring the actual Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy is a very interesting case for Bitcoin institutional investors. They did not observe this market but actually joined it and did investment seriously. I also don't see them over leverage for investment which makes their investment is safe in long term. In the past, we talk about Satoshi's lessonSatoshi is not awesome because he was watching the crypto world and had a brilliant idea. He's awesome because upon having this idea, he carried it out.
In future, we will talk about Microstrategy lesson. |

If there is an update to an old topic, then it is better to start a new thread, and link to the original in that imho.
It is one of ways if a topic author does not mind to Bump his thread. If a topic author see no reason to let his thread opens for discussion, locking it is good to avoid spam. When you want bumping, there are two rules to remember about bumping. 13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours per thread. Bumping multiple threads at the same time is allowed if it's not annoying. [2][e]
21. Old bumps should be deleted. [2]

I wonder if MicroStrategy will ever get to 1% of supply. Doesn't seem likely as within a year it's gonna be costing them a lot more to buy Bitcoin. I could see them getting up to like maybe 190,000 BTC though after a few more years
I discussed about that in Investigate, assess news. Don't simply read and make wrong decisions three years ago. It is hard for them to own bitcoin up to 1% of Bitcoin total supply. They need 210,000 BTC to hit 1% of total supply. Today, after a latest stack round, they have only 152,333 BTC according to BitcoinTreasuries.net. If you think about it in a different way, accounting for estimated lost BTC, which is like 3M or 4M BTC, hence the 'actual' total supply would be 17M to 18M, Microstrategy is not far to own 1%. It is estimation, not actual number for lost BTC. |

Bitcointalk has so many Topics that even some newbies don't know about even myself and those topics are very important. I've being wondering why some of these interesting topics are not always active
We have sticky threads. All members will see sticky threads at top of each board and most of such threads are locked. like we forget about them that easy and it makes users who are not aware of it to even open a similar one and before you know it you start seeing links from nowhere that are related.
If you search before posting and search effectively, you will find those threads. The thing is why can't we continue to keep those topics alive instead we over look them even when we have something to talk about, we prefer going for new topics.
Keeping such threads actively will cause something like super active threads in Gambling discussions, Mega spam threads. I am against this idea. It is good only if such threads are active with meaningful discussions, not just to be active. |

It is risky to transfer your coins after using a Coin Join transaction or a Mixing service. Gambling sites, exchanges always do have techniques to detect tainted coins from such process. Strictly said, likely most of bitcoin are tainted after many used UTXOs in the past so far if we don't use criteria how many past UTXOs will be considered for a definition of tainted coin. Fortunately exchanges, gambling sites don't trace to far into the past to find tainted coins. Bitcoin Q&A: Blacklists, Taint, and Wallet FingerprintingCareful if you want to send your 'tainted' coin (after CoinJoin, Mixing) to a centralized platform. Don't send all your coins to them in one transaction but if your first transaction does not bring issue (account freeze etc.), it does not mean later transactions will be good. |

There are more serial serious arguments in the past with self-moderated topics when in the forum, DT members had fight with each other. They even included "additional rules" to prohibited members they don't want to join such discussions. With self moderated topics, all rules set by OP and OP has freedom to delete posts on his rules and vision. It can be right or wrong rules and vision but if you don't see fit with such topics, don't join them. If you want to discuss but with your own "additional rules", start your self-moderated topics and exclude the trollers ... I am not against your proposal but with precedent cases, I believe the self-moderated feature will remain like it be. In self-moderated topics, the OP can delete replies. The option for enabling this is under "additional options".
There are no rules to self-moderation. In self-moderated threads, replies belong to the OP. In other threads, replies belong to the respondents individually. Think carefully about whether you want to reply to a self-moderated topic, as your post may not be given due respect.

Bad, bald and b*tcha** Gary Gensler is at it again with the fud against Coinbase with wanting the court case to be rushed a month ahead of the scheduled pre=trial date of August 24th to July 13th.  Gary wants to be a hub of cryptocurrency market and want to be a star on Youtube, social media. He is addicted with power and recognition BUT by arbitrarily governing market for his own benefits and for related parties, perhaps, he looks like one of biggest scammer in a very young history of this market. Gary Scammer, remember his name, years later we will have many things to talk about him in documentary. |

After playing with Terra Luna Classic and UST stable coin, dumping the market in May 2022, they will pump it next years and lift Bitcoin towards $1M.  Citadel Securities, BlackRock Deny Involvement in Terra FallThey denied it but some community investigations show that they actually involved in that fiasco. If you are holder (you should be holder), you won't have to care too much about them. Let they play their games but they can not make you poor and steal your bitcoin, because you strongly hold your coins. |

1. Learn about Bitcoin

I don't know I have ever got that problem, I did not remember actually. There is a limit up to 25 pages only. If you try to use "Show all" with topic has more than 25 pages, you will get this message An Error Has Occurred!
The topic is too large to fit on one page.
I try with a shorter topic and it worked, I did not get a similar issue like yours. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=5455869You have a third party tool https://loyce.club/showall/5199911.html it doesn't work. LoyceV, please help!
You don't need "Show all" to find something in a topic. Use this It is nice to be able to do that, though note that if you use the search box in the upper right while in a topic, it searches only that topic.
"Show all" is for Printing. |

Seriously!!!! Let's keep religion out of this!!!
As stompix said, better keep religion out of this. There will never be continuity if you connect Bitcoin with religion. Same like trying to educate Bitcoin in religious facilities and perhaps raise charity donations via bitcoin. Scammers can abuse the reputation and promising future of Bitcoin to raise donations for their benefit, not for charity. We see it sometimes with bad people who run their religious facilities. Religion can be good but the operators are bad. We don't know and should not trust them. I agree, don't connect Bitcoin with religion. |

I previously tried localbitcoins and paxful for these type of deals. Now localbitcoins is closed, hence paxful is the only option left. Paxful is in the business from many years, hence very trusted, so yes do checkout that marketplace and do trade with calculating the fees and risks involved.
Paxful closed their service but re-opened it recent weeks. They are gradually reopening their business in the USA, state by state. It seems they are doing it slowly with progress from their Law and Compliance teams. Some platforms to trade giftcards. [LIST] Gift cards providers. |

It is very long time since admins accepted to delete accounts, change accounts to Anonymous. Very first accounts like testing accounts from a forum founder Satoshi Nakamoto were deleted too. Done. Now only moderators, Donators, and VIP members can change their names automatically. Other members should contact me. I'll probably ignore your request if you have less than 50 posts (unless your posts are very good).
Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact. LoyceV has this list of forum username. Some early members are "does not exist" 1: admin

A good world should have freedom.
We don't need a centralized power in Bitcoin blockchain as the only mean for transaction, trading, wealth storage and like we can not live without Bitcoin blockchain and bitcoin. Like we don't want to be forced to use only the US. dollar or any fiat currency.
Choices, we need choices and Bitcoin can not eliminate all choices globally. We will still have fiat currencies, soon CBDCs and altcoins, together with gold, other metals, and other things can be used as currencies, commodities etc.
Such world with only Bitcoin exists in memes and no where else.

That's true. But, when it comes to a forum platform like bitcointalk.org, this fact doesn't really have much relevance. Sure, you might see some buying and selling happening on the forum, but it's not the main thing people are here for.
The forum was not created as an exchange and will not turn to be like such. Building a trading platform requires more resources for security but two biggest reasons except security, Bitcointalk forum will not turn into such a trading platform are - Initially, it was a platform for exchange of ideas, discussions
- It has enough treasuries to operate without need for further donation and surely does not need money from trading fee as a trading platform

I recently reported an English post on the Dutch board, and my report was marked as Bad. So it looks like "questions to locals" or (in the case of this post I reported) trying to trade locally is allowed for English speakers. My guess now is that is this rule was created to prevent "ANN spam" by low-effort translating it into every possible possible language that has a local board.
I guess so too. I recalled I read some posts from fillippone that he did something similar in the past and he wrote it clearly in his thread. He did it to communicate with some local translators (for his threads) if my memory is good. He is well so far which leads me to the conclusion above. Rules are flexible and if forum members do good things, moderators will not ban them 23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]

- In that local language, with a translation from Google or any translation tool. That's not allowed: 27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed. I meant it will be used together with the original English content. Is it allowed, I guess yes and my post above is for short questions to locals only. In this context, the automated translation is not for posting quota, it is just to have better communication with locals. My take: I try to avoid posting on local boards, but I've done it a few times (usually after being mentioned there). Sometimes I post only a link that answers a question, sometimes in English with the comment that I'll delete it soon, hopefully after someone translated it for me.
Me too. Don't do this is the best. So far, I haven't been banned for it You will be in future
This man did the opposite, using a local language in English board (Bitcoin discussion). Did not know where he is posting in My people, nothing we no go see for we country oh. Everyday na new episode of drama, CBN don Yan say, as part of their new due diligence regulations to financial institutions in 2023 under it regulatory purview, as against anti-money laundering, counter terrorism financing etc. Say them dey direct all Banks to include customer's social media handle as part of the customers KYC( KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER) requirements. The stress 😬 way Banks dey give customers don dey too much, any small thing we you wan regularise for your Bank, them go tell you to bring, NEPA BILL, DRIVING LICENCE, NIN , HOUSE RENT RECEIPT, BVN,TWO PASSPORT SIGN TWO TIMES, now they've added social media handle to the endless list. When ordinarily a single NIN can easily identify a customer. That's why i also enlighten people about bitcoin and crypto currency, BABA, all this bulaba and balablue is never needed, i just need your wallet ID to make any transactions with you. Anybody that wants to fight terrorism can do that easily, because government has all it takes to a locate criminals anywhere in world, besides most of the acclaimed terrorist are not on social media. My people how Una see this leg way CBN dey bring come? https://twitter.com/instablog9ja/status/1672373663239139328?t=gXpOS5LmTp8Q7qzB210m-A&s=19 |

As far as drama is concerned, I think there will be little. The only thing is that until after halving and even when we are in the bull market there will be ups and downs, small dramas I would say. But the real drama would be for example that next cycle we do not have a bull market, that the price does not exceed the $69K of this cycle. Things like that, which are very unlikely to happen, but if they did happen they would be a real drama.
Drama, FUD and "Bitcoin is dead" are parts of Bitcoin market but the intensity of calling like "Bitcoin is Dead" has been decreasing with time. If Bitcoin is not dead, it has been become stronger. What can not kill you, will make you stronger. Deaths by year

Also on a mobile phone, the security of which is similar to a leaky bucket. Why not electrum installed on PC?
You also can get physical problems like You can go a little more complicated, but reliable way: Tails OS on a flash drive (electrum is preinstalled), connect it to any PC and use it. The only trouble is that you will have to enter a seed phrase every time a new one (every new session).
Tails OS are very useful if you have to use public computers that not belong to you only. Buying a hardware wallet already with an investment of $200? Come on. This should be done at least at $500-1000.
Don't buy used (second-hand) hardware wallets. Prioritize open-source hardware wallets. |
