It all boils down to market sentiment. Mostly it's not even the decreased supply distribution through the halving that causes market upticks — it's mostly the fact that people think they need to invest more money in the asset due to decreased bitcoin units being distributed. It's mostly only narratives in the short-mid term.
882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have a clear understanding of what DCA means on: September 19, 2023, 02:00:51 AM
You even don't have to use a same amount of capital for each DCA round. Sometimes you can use smaller or bigger amount of capital for a DCA round. Because it can depends on your feeling about the market trend as well as your available funds for DCA at that time. If you see the market is good and you have money in hands, you can DCA with doubled capital than your normal amount.

You can technically do it like this and twist the strategy in whatever way you want, but the main purpose of DCA is to just buy an equal amount every time, to eliminate the psychological/emotional factor of markets. Changing the amounts every time kind of defeats the purpose of doing DCA.
883  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Price Increasing? on: September 18, 2023, 04:35:51 PM
In other news, water is wet.

This is like those typical threads that have been posted a thousand times already, with the difference just being today's price (you even got the price wrong; bitcoin is already $27k+ by the time you posted this).
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos recovers its $500,000 'fat finger' Bitcoin transaction fee on: September 18, 2023, 03:51:36 PM
Weeks ago, it was reported after analysis that it is error from an software which is responsible for processing transactions automatically. I doubt that it is an error but an intentional setup to create some fud on the market.

I agree with you that if it is an error by automatic processing, why it happened when Bitcoin need to be dumped by whales?

If it is not automatic error, but manual error, a big company must have double check or even tripple check when proceed transactions especially such very big transaction.

I'd like a conspiracy theory from time to time, but how can this be "FUD" though? I don't think it can be mistaken even by dumb people that it's the case that this was Paxos' mistake — not some Bitcoin protocol bug or something.
885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos recovers its $500,000 'fat finger' Bitcoin transaction fee on: September 18, 2023, 03:30:23 PM
Makes you wonder how a company of such size($2.4 billion as per Forbes) makes such an amateur mistake. Like, probably just having a second person(which I'm pretty sure they can afford) to double check the transaction setups will mitigate such mistakes.
886  Other / Meta / Re: Without merit... on: September 18, 2023, 05:08:09 AM
No need to say much but I'd like to know, without merit how can YOU rate a post as a quality post or how can you appreciate a quality post?

You take appreciation by taking time into reading it, or probably interacting with it if you have something valuable to say. Merits are appreciated if you think a post is of good quality, but it is not required at all. And you definitely don't need the public to know that you appreciate almost anything.
887  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: A platform for Hiring Affiliates on: September 17, 2023, 06:36:10 PM
If you want to make it a bit more automated, simply create an affiliate program that's decently attractive for advertisers. If you have an attractive-enough affiliate program, just market it a bit — then you should be getting a lot of interested advertisers as long as your offer seems realistic and that your platform isn't scammy.
888  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What exchanges allow you to trade derivatives even though it ban in your country on: September 17, 2023, 06:26:04 PM
You use the non-custodial a.k.a. 'DEX' platforms. e.g. dYdX, Synthetix/Lyra, GMX, MUX, Mango Markets — the list goes on and on. If the case is that they ban your country IP, simply use a decent VPN, and that's pretty much it. The only reason to use custodial exchanges today is if you have high amounts of capital that requires a lot of liquidity.

For several days, I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Bitcoin on various online platforms and social media. Although I had no idea about Bitcoin,  so I didn't bother with it.

Of all times, you hear about Bitcoin on social media platforms in a bear market? Lol.

But sure — if you're actually genuine,

This website probably needs UI improvement but you are right, there are some users because of this old layout.
It just needs UX improvements, not necessarily UI. And it should be achieved through the mythical EpochTalk (that's pretty much a dead project now I think lmao).


But does that mean that website shouldn't improve and shouldn't attract new people?
In a business sense, that's going to be next to impossible unless Theymos' takes a huge risk through making a huge change on Bitcointalk — which I doubt he would do.

It will totally depend on how trustworthy the best family candidate is. If that family candidate isn't some gambling/drinking/drug addict and you generally trust him/her to not take your coins while you're still alive, then probably go ahead.

On the other hand, you can just store your recovery seed and some easy-to-understand instructions in a fire-proof safe.

you should have a tablet for mobile and a flip phone.

smart phones suck
the screens are simply too small.



I have a smart phone due to its compact and portable nature — so I can use it when on-the-go especially in public places. Having a tablet(or flip phone, because having to flip it open when on-the-go is a hassle imo) defeats this purpose.

At home, I exclusively use my computer.

As for tablets, I only use mine for design work.
893  Other / Meta / Re: The comment layout is awful here on: September 15, 2023, 02:08:19 AM
I totally, agree, plus it kind a feels cool to type messages here. Like if one is making posts or messages here on BTT and using this same layout to make some posts, And if one is making them in public like among friends. Then they also become curious. As I have seen many situations like these. Where friend got curious whenever I tried to make a post or message in class. Those who sat near me, started to ask questions related to this and I have only one thing to say, this is a discussion form where you can learn and learn about and through BTC respectively.

I really like this layout and I hope this will never be changed. As, it is very cool and now become a little handy too.

I have no complaints on Bitcointalk's UI/UX as well — when I'm on my computer, that is. It's perfect and I really really love it when I'm on my computer but it's the total utter opposite when I'm on my phone. Quote tweeting multiple people are just the worst UX ever.
894  Other / Meta / Re: Why Bitcointalk do not have alternative front-ends? on: September 15, 2023, 01:58:40 AM
The least you can do is to install those CSS-modifying browser extensions. Other than that, no.

What kind of front-ends are you interested in anyway? Other types of front-ends exists on other social platforms like Twitter and Reddit.
895  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Swan Bitcoin's custodian acquired by Ripple on: September 14, 2023, 04:12:39 AM
On a more serious speculation, it appears Ripple is beginning to slowly acquire crypto custodial companies before the next bull market. What is their agenda?

I mean, their main business (whatever there is to do with the XRP coin) is pretty much dead I assume? Smart for them to just buy crypto-related companies because we all know they're far more likely to make money in the future when demand for bitcoin/crypto returns, than whatever they want to do with XRP.
896  Other / Meta / Re: The comment layout is awful here on: September 14, 2023, 03:00:15 AM
You're pretty much describing Twitter and/or Reddit. If you prefer that layout, you can simply move to there. This old-style forum layout is one of the reasons why a lot of people are here so it'd be counter-intuitive to change it.

(Assuming Theymos is planning on changing anything in the first place lol.)
897  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you had AI day trade bitcoin to make profits on: September 13, 2023, 04:48:16 PM
If I actually found a way to use AI to trade bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency or asset in general effectively, simple — why the heck would I tell anyone? I'd just use whatever method that is and use it heavily until it doesn't work anymore. There's no way that strategy would come out of my mouth.
898  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Honest question, what to think about “crypto” affiliates or influencers? on: September 13, 2023, 04:01:53 AM
Affiliates and YouTubing is totally fine! Yes, you might be making money trading, but do you know what's better? Making money by trading AND making money through affiliates and YouTube revenue. As long as you do affiliate marketing and YouTubing in a moral and ethical manner.

As for pump and dumpers and people doing fake TA, fuck them.
899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself. on: September 13, 2023, 03:02:00 AM
One of the last big purchases I made using Bitcoin was an iPad. I think I paid 1.25 BTC for it. Looking back, that wasn’t my best purchase and I don’t even use it anymore. So I can attest that if you have some BTC, it isn’t always the best idea to dump it for a new shiny thing, although I’m about to make the same mistake with a Tesla.

Nothing necessarily bad with spending money broskis. It's totally fine if:

- You can use that thing to be more productive for your job/business
- You only spend on things you want from time to time. Buying 'wants' from time to time is good as long as you live below your means

What is life if you cant enjoy your money from time to time?

It's honestly not that bad, just needs some getting used to.

There's no way any typical layperson would use other bbcode blocks (and don't even get me started on quoting multiple replies) and say "it's honestly that bad". Companies just made platforms like Twitter and Reddit so so idiot-friendly that Bitcointalk would immediately look and feel ancient.
