It's 2023, I think it's a bit old to call Bitcoin price appreciations a bubble.
A bubble in economics is an irrational increase in the price of a product, far above its intrinsic value, after which it crashes down when the demand wanes. This happened with the the tulip mania and also the housing bubble.

Bitcoin was mis-characterised to be in a bubble during the 2017 bull run due to general ignorance around it, we're five years from that now and the current price is higher than the bubble price of that cycle.

• The first rule of investing is not to stake what you cannot afford to lose. From your thread, your dad and the rest of the family are heavily dependent on the pension, putting that into a volatile asset is a risk, one you have to think long and hard before making.

• One year is a relatively short space of time. If you're going to invest in Bitcoin in the hopes of getting a return within a short period of time, you could very well be disappointed. Life situations can also come up before then that would require you to liquidate earlier.
There is also the flip side where Bitcoin rises significantly within that period and you actually can give him more money.
Consider the risk to reward ratio before making your suggestion.

Using spare money to buy Bitcoin gives you the liberty to easily wait through price dips and not panic sell.

But it's not. With the whole obscurity about how they encryp your seedphrase to be able to recover your private keys should you get a new ledger device, it's best to go for the better, more transparent alternatives.

This is also not the first time ledger wallet has come under scrutiny, there have bee data breaches in the past that exposed its users to personalized scams. They also did not reveal the hack early enough but waited about a month before reporting on the hack, not giving their users a heads up to change their personal details on other platforms.

Bitcointalk has a repertoire of information related to Bitcoin, it's origin, technology, the economics behind it and also topics on the crypto world in general.
You have access to all of these information if you can access the forum as a guest or a user. The benefit of being a guest is that you got to ask questions and get answers to your specific inquiry.

No, it's for anyone interested in talking about Bitcoin with strangers.

The simple way is to buy, hodl and wait for it to rise against fiat. You can also invest in a Bitcoin business like a Bitcoin ATM or wallet service. Bitcoin mining and trading are also ways to earn.

Welcome to bitcointalk.

To be significant on the forum you first need to know how it works. Read the forum rules and other important threads, you will find them stickied to the top of different boards starting with this one. Those threads important pointers for the forum take your time to go through them. As long as you keep to the rules and don't spam you're already better than majority of registered users.

To last long here remember two important rules;
• No plagiarism,
• No sharing of malwares.

The DeFi space is nothing close to the vision that Satoshi had, it's just a cash cow for scammers. Same can be said for other cryptocurrencies.
If you want to thank Satoshi, avoid centralized altcoins and centralized exchanges. Use BTC

Poorer countries have no bargaining power and as such other nations do not have to be cautious when dealing with them.
The actions of the world powers towards Russia since the start of the war shows how fearful they are of antagonizing the Kremlin and entering a war with them. They would call out nation's like UAE but some European countries are still struggling to cut of Russian products fully.

The world powers we're at some point empowered by the spoils of war, which have positioned them where they are today. It is a question of morality, but wars in many countries today are one way or the other enriching other countries. The world has never been United, it has always been a game of interests.

Many of the coins and tokens offered as bounty for the social media tasks are worthless or would be by the time they hit the exchanges, many of the users who participate never even get the worthless tokens and never get the opportunity to try and sell them, plus you put your social information on the forum which erodes your privacy and exposes you to scam attacks depending on how much information you give out.

It's an net negative activity. I would not advice those new in crypto to go down the path of bounties.

With a non custodial wallet there is no access without the private keys to the wallet. No wallet is fully safe or secure, you need to adopt safety habits which would protect your funds.

Bitcoin transactions are pseudo anonymous, meaning there is a known address, transaction amount and receptient(s), but no identity linked to the wallet.

You can only assure that the Bitcoin code is verified and it truly is decentralized. There are no guarantees with the price.

You could very well just switch to electrum. Trust wallet is closed source so you cannot verify what goes on behind the codes on the wallet.

If your wallet is offline all day, I hope you do not connect to the internet when you want to transact? Instead of doing that, have another watching-only which you can use to create and broadcast transaywjile your private keys stays secured offline.

Stylish extension was at some point pulled from the shelves of some vrowsersncause it was allegedly a spyware which steals user information. This is a risk with any extension out there, especially those offered by Google or other privacy intrusive platforms.

If you can't find any you trust, then it's not worth the risk to use a potentially harmful extension to achieve dark mode on your device.

Posting with the sole purpose of increasing your activity or to improve the search ranking for a website (paid service or not) counts as spam. The user is putting no effort whatsoever into the posts made and does not contribute to the discussion after that.

Making it a rule does not means users that violate it would be banned, it would just make a clear rule about it that someone reporting can use as a reference. The users would be corrected of their mistakes early and not down what to do and what not to do.

Despite the warning, they could retrieve the funds sent to a different network pretty easily, they would just need a wallet address that supports both networks, this is evident from the fact that they just moved the funds.

You are dealing with a scan platform so expecting any help from them would not be forthcoming, try reaching out to binance it they they can be of any assistance.

Going forward it would be best to not have over $10k on a centralized exchange or to use platforms like 1xBit.

Not a significant amount, it was probably in the range of $8,000 to &$9,000 at about early 2018 and I was just learning about how it hit what was then a very remarkable price of almost $20,000. I still had to do a lot of learning during the period and wade through a couple of altcoins before starting to stack up sats.

The cheapest I've seen Bitcoin is a little over $3,000 as at late 2018. This just goes to put into perspective how changes in price affects the sentiment towards the market. At that time $3k was the bear period and now $30k is a bear period.

You again here was confusing a multi signature wallet with a segwit address. As you can see in the quoted message from Leo, Busq uses a 2-of-2 multi sig wallet with each pair of the key held by both parties involved in the trade, completely eliminating any intermediary, making the transaction Peer to peer.

Bitcoin operates in cycles, for a cycle to occur there has to be up periods and the down periods to complete the ring, this is the reflection of the Bitcoin market. We have periods of price spike where the chart is in the green zone and the general sentiment is very optimistic, this is the Bull run. We also have the down periods where the chart is mostly red and fear and panic is wide spread, this is the bear market.

In economics both of this seasons complement each other, bear markets are needed tmfor consolidation and price stability as a constant rise is not feasible for any product. So, to answer your question; bitcoin is not always in a bull run.

Congratulations to Dubai and the entire UAE instead, for positioning itself to benefit from Bitcoin in the future. The more receptive a country is towards new innovations like Bitcoin the more the best minds and businesses would move over there. United Arab Emirates is looking to want to be a technology hub in the future, sort of the Silicon valley of the Middle East.

Far more complex buildings have been designed and built.

This was the point where the entire text completely derailed. If you feel that these are pointless features, you shouldn't be interested in bicoin at all, or be on a forum to discuss about it.

Financial education is one way to help prepare your kids for the future, and it involves a whole lot more than just Bitcoin. Train your kids to understand how money works including fiat, gold, crypto or any other medium of exchange. If they understand the different financial markets they would be able to know how to profit from it and avoid losses.

If you're going to teach your kids about Bitcoin, do not focus on the price and exchange activities. The utility of Bitcoin would be more in demand in the future than now and knowing the basics of how it works would be useful to them.
