Presently, should we say it's good the way bitcoin its been tied to dollars? Dollars is not backed up with any resources but to my understanding, bitcoin is a product of great energy surge. We shouldn't let bitcoin tied to dollars but bitcoin standing on its own.
While majority of the pair of it is based on the dollars. It doesn't mean that it's already tied on it, it's like the pricing of it has been with the US dollars but look at other markets, there's also the pricing of it that's been based on our fiat currencies. Nothing will change as bitcoin will still be bitcoin regardless of where people think is tied. And as for the USD, isn't it backed up by gold?

What could decide the durability and value of bitcoin?
The value of Bitcoin is determined by us, by our trust and by the cost of mining and don't forget about the law of supply and demand.

I have some ideas..
Let us know what you have in your mind.

Thanks for the alarm sokani, it's worrying that the fake telegram has got a lot of users, 12k+ members/subscribers that's misleading people from the real [banned mixer] website to their fake and scam website. They got 3.9k views with their most recent post there and I just hope that telegram will review the channel and have it removed already based on the reports that it receives and hoping they're not slow as what Google does with their reports.

Ticker removed and then put back. I guess with such, that only means that it's already a pre-approval if it's about the Bitcoin ETF. Likewise, it's not yet the bull run but just another push by what's happening in the market. This is what we get usually when there's not that move at all, it's either these institutions will do something to move it upwards or downwards. As we've seen, we like it when it moves upwards than downwards.

I expect we might see a small dip to a $30k region but don't think we'll see a low $20k before the bull run.
For Bitcoin to move to another rise and level of support, it has to come down a bit and I agree that we might see $20k again at least for this season.

@OP I agree with everyone that you don't have much visitors yet and what you need to focus for now is to increase the visits that you get. There's nothing to moderate yet on your forum and that's why if you're optimistic in increasing that, you need to do something. Basically, some other forums have already done the advertising through bitcointalk through different marketing methods like campaigns and other advertising stuff. We're just giving you the idea but if you take that as an advice, that's good for you. But if you don't take that as something helpful for the growth of your forum, that's also okay and we can't do anything about that. And I guess they're also right about you saying about "growing together" this is like a volunteer post and not paid.

The real question is: how much of an impact does terrorism in the modern world have on the economy?  The economy of countries and regions, as well as the global world economy? 
Before when I was young, it was just like a conspiracy that have been published on the web and as a curious guy that search for things like that before, I can't believe that it tends to be a real thing that there are countries or big people that are on the back of these terrorists being funded by them. The impact that we're talking here is huge, it stops the development from that country because no investor wants to get in and every modern development can't continue because the terrorists are there just to stop and destroy the infrastructures. And when we say infras, we're like talking about $1M to $1B per project that they intervene.

And what are the ways of solving and preempting such methods of "economic struggle"?
Eradicating them wholly. But it's probably not gonna happen because with whoever is/are behind the funding of these terrorists, they'll just rebuilt a new one and it's becoming a cycle that there's one terrorist group that asks for their own government and then there will be another one that feels jealous that they're not given what they're asking so the attack continues and it's a nonstop cycle and these economic struggles from those specific locations where these terrorists are visible will have hard time to recover or be freed and that means, that economic struggle that they will experience is likely to stay until they adapt like what's with Afghanistan today.

I initially view terrorism as a cancer of the modern world. Both in terms of its effect on the "organism" of the world and the methods of fighting it. As practice shows, such "diseases" cannot be treated with soft methods, stretching for years and decades, and soft methods cannot be used. In what I agree - total "circumcision" to any resources. To begin with total access to such resources as money, weapons, influence, technical assistance, etc. - everything that gives strength to this disease. Then point but complete destruction of centers, then all "metastases", then move to the final stage - the destruction of the smallest cells.
But there is problem number 2, which I mentioned above - corruption on a global scale. There are many examples, from the heads of commissions in international organizations, to the leaders of countries who play a double game and take handouts from terrorists or their owners. For this purpose the world judicial system should be changed - proven financial or other interaction and without alternatives - life imprisonment, and seizure of ALL assets. If it led to the death of civilians - most likely the death penalty. The problem is that you can't play by gentlemen's rules with scum.
IMO, it's already been there since the ancient times but it's in a total different term but it all shows the same result, destruction. Sometimes, it makes me think what if those movies we watch that were showing that they've got in international organizations, meetings, war movies, terrorism movies and we see at the plot of it, there's always likely the friend of the protagonist and government but also the one that backlashes them and funding the enemies. The world organizations and countries that has strong bonds won't have problems to each other. But those that they're avoiding to have connections, it's like where these corruptions are truly happening and where these terrorist groups are staying. We all know how media plays the role of making a place bad as if they're truly bad and showing it globally for people to avoid them. But the reality with this, is we will never know who are those that are behind these groups that supports them. All are like speculations and even there can be conducive evidences that they're likely supporting these terrorists, they can just deny it and say that they've been falsely accused. It's actually hard, you'll never know who actually is the enemy. The enemy for these battles and as well as the enemy of the economies.

And that's why it is a tandem for social media influencers that they can make easy money from it based on the followers and influence that they have on social media. If you happen to have an idea on how task type is, the exchanges/platforms have that feature that you may start looking at. Here are the examples from the known ones;

Good answers from all.  I have had some difficulties in my personal life, good difficulties that is, but will get back to working my cold storage device now.
I did have some questions on the topic of what the SEC, and maybe other agencies, use to declare that something is an investment and therefore should be regulated.  But that should be a separate thread and I need to re-read the concepts before posting questions.

To each of you, thank you for your time.
It differs, sometimes it's about a project that isn't declared as a security but it is an actual security and check this article they published, maybe it has got some answers  and there's more but yeah, much better ask that on a separated thread. Going to your cold storage, that's all you need to have. And when you need to trade, you can just transfer it from time to time if you needed to. It seems that the purpose of this thread has been served and you're satisfied with everyone's answer, you can start locking this thread and just open it again if ever you've got some follow up questions related to them.
988  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How the crypto project Threw me on: October 25, 2023, 11:12:50 PM
I don't use Fiverr but usually these platforms have got their own escrow system that you can report to them if you're not paid and the employer abused you. Your experience what happens to someone decided to deal with the employer outside the platform. I think if you guys have been working for years, it happens that you both agree to get out of the platform and deal directly on your own. But in your case, you just met them and agreed already to get out of the platform then the risk is on you. I have seen this happen for many times in many freelancing groups that they agreed to work not under the platform but directly quickly thinking that the fees will be saved but they don't realize that it's a protection policy that gives to the employer-employee deal by platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, etc.
989  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Gemini exchange in trouble? on: October 25, 2023, 09:43:35 PM
Yes, I am a bit worried.  But maybe too worried.  I have, what is to me, a substantial amount in their exchange.  

I have a cold storage wallet but am not yet comfortable with it.  Maybe I need to work that.  My thought is to put a small amount into the cold wallet, create a new account with Binance, or Kraken, or someone, then transfer to there and see the coins pop up.  I suppose that will take two transaction periods which I think are about 10 to 15 minutes each.  Is that a reasonable plan?
If for your peace of mind and you are too worried about it then just do it. That plan of yours is reasonable and if it keeps you thinking minute after minute of something might happen to them because of their current issue which makes you think about them affecting your funds, do the transfer and then just re-do it when you think that the storm has been calmed for them. But the better suggestion of transferring it is to your own cold storage and wallet so, you have the control to your own funds and I know it kinds of giving you the lazy feels but you have to do that transfer just to calm your mind and don't mind the fees because they've always been so minimal.

991  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will $BTC soar beyond 35K or dip below? 🚀📉 on: October 25, 2023, 10:31:00 AM
It can, since we've seen on how the price went from the surprising ticker of IBTC and the news that got wrong published by a media, the soar continued. We're looking at the momentum of Bitcoin and there's no halving that has come. While many are taking the time to FOMO, any price now is possible because of how it shown that it can push prices as much as $5k in less than a day. Getting more positive news to the market is likely to push more of it, so how much more if there are better ones that we actually see and this is like the start of it. It's sort of beginning the trend for the real bull run soon but it's going to take time until that happens because it's all about the halving and pusher of the bull run that will help it are these bitcoin etfs.
992  Economy / Speculation / Re: "Mr. Bitcoin is about to go down big." - Jim Cramer on: October 24, 2023, 09:26:10 PM
I guess this type of indicator is still the most effective of them all. Whenever these skeptics that are saying something negative about Bitcoin, the opposite happens. How many times did we saw this in the past? That whenever they say something that's against to us, the market reacts oppositely to what they have exactly said. So, if there is something new he say about bitcoin going this high and crazy price in the point of time, then we shall see the opposite reaction again by it.

I did a sale at 33333 today.
Congrats, can buy back now again.  Cheesy
993  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buying at 35k? on: October 24, 2023, 07:50:55 PM
If it is part of your DCA strategy, buying at $35k is like part of the normal process. Although we're done from that point, still what if the price kept on rising and never went down again? Although that's an impossible thing that every pump we see, it won't be down again. That's also another process that's normally happening that no matter what price it is that you see, you'll just DCA. But if you're buying bulk and one time at the same time, that expensiveness at that rate will be felt a lot. That's why if you're just DCAing and you're just buying in some amounts like a few or couple of bucks, you won't feel the difference that much. And long termer on this market that sees the future or has a vision for the future price, $35k or even $40k won't be much compared to the next peak that we might see.
994  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $5k rise within an hour plus. on: October 24, 2023, 06:39:05 PM
Just to express my thoughts about this $5k upturn, inam having a hard time to accepting that a very close bullrun is underway if I don't see a corresponding altcoins price move with the bitcoin price move towing them along in every move.
Is it because that most in your portfolio are altcoins and you've got less allocation in Bitcoin? When we're in a bull run and it is started by Bitcoin, at most times it is being followed by altcoin season. But as far as I can see, Ethereum is following it as well and has got a few hundreds in addition of its former price yesterday. And going back to Bitcoin's move, there's no official announcement yet about Bitcoin's ETF approval so, these indicators and factors could lead to more rise in less than 24 hours. It gives us the idea on how much Bitcoin can move on unexpected days so there could be more to this. Whether you hold Bitcoins or altcoins, what matters here is the bull run that's very imminent to come.

Btw, thanks for that OP. I use only a few exchange but it's time now I guess to try something new just as what you're doing and with those promos like 0% trading fees. And based from their link blog about how long this promo will stay, it says that "until further notice".

In conjunction with MEXC's 5th anniversary, and in appreciation for our users' support, MEXC will be offering zero trading fees for all spot trading pairs (excluding ETFs), starting 16:00, April 1, 2023 (UTC).

996  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has anybody expected this? on: October 24, 2023, 11:17:25 AM
Not that I'm a charting expert or a good technical or fundamental analyst let alone a bear, but I'm really surprised at the spike that's happened, and which is probably continuously happening as of this writing. So far, the price has already hit above $34,000. That's already more than 12% in growth in just 24 hours.
Top was like $35k in some exchanges and it's trying to breakthrough again on that level.

Has anybody somehow expected this kind of thing? Has anybody had at least a tiny clue that something like this would happen? I know Uptobers have been good months, but every huge increase especially a sudden one must have a big reason. I'm not seeing one that could push such growth so fast. I was really caught by surprise
As we know on how volatile Bitcoin is and we know that it can have some strong push on unexpected times. But this time, I wasn't expecting it that it's going to be this early.

Will a Bitcoin spot ETF be certainly approved soon that insiders have already relayed to their bosses the good news and the accumulation has secretly grown stronger?
I just saw a screenshot that it's already listed as "IBTC" I don't know in which market was that but it seems that we're only just waiting for the announcement of its approval.

Usually guys like with that surname are Asian and on his case a half-half nationality which is common, and his image can be searched on Google. Jimmy or also have a real name of James is like the guy who likes to party and that made his lifestyle to be living at the fullest because he's got a lot of money. This is a good topic to discuss because it seems that news publishers have posted his story again a few days ago so it's timely.

I have my binance account parked for so long and reading all the instructions as well is making me confused a lot. But reading the insights of everybody here made it easier for me that if it's just for internal transfers from Binance user A to Binance user B then that's easier to understand it. I don't use the app but only the desktop version so probably I don't need to think of this confusing update that they've made but still I have to check this update out if it's the same as the web version. Anyway, still thanks for the heads up OP.
999  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin’s long-term investors own over 76% of all BTC for the first time on: October 23, 2023, 10:23:44 PM
I think we should focus on market sentiment. There are no good/perfect news. Bitcoin etf thing was fake. There is not much reason to start another Bitcoin bull market. Patient holders are not bad thing for sure but its influence on price can be quick and easily finished.
The ones that has been published by Cointelegraph about the Bitcoin ETF was fake but there have been applications already and waiting for them to get some approval at the perfect time. It's true that there are no perfect news either good or bad that affects the market sentiment. Those that have been patient all over the time and understands the importance of this attitude towards the market won't get easily get triggered by any of these news because we've been there and done that before. One wrong emotion will tend to do a wrong move.

For example we saw Bitcoin hitting 30k, but there its volatile. I am only planning to return if price hits around 35k. That would confirm at least mid term bull trend.
Return? You've left the market or you've sold already your holdings? I know people like you that are waiting for some push before they go back and these are the people that have sold majority of their Bitcoin and that's the move that they're waiting for because they find the market so sluggish and uninteresting when it's laggard.
1000  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: First bull run - how to not sell too early? on: October 23, 2023, 08:55:47 PM
Next year will hopefully be the start of the bull run and it will be first for me so just wondering if anyone has any advice/tips on how avoid the temptation and not sell too early?

All I have experienced so far in Crypto is bear market and with the market showing good signs over the last few days its made me realize that I am not used to the good times and I want to have a plan in place for when the bull run returns.

Even after the good few days recently my portfolio is still down 17% overall and at the worst I think it was 50% down so just getting back to break even will feel big for me but need to remember I am in this to do a lot better then break even.

Any advice or individual plan when it comes to selling in bull run?
I doubt it that you can avoid the temptation whenever you see the price goes on high. Selling too early is fine as long as the price you're about to sell is a profit already for you. But if you insist then all you need to do is set a price and then stick to it just for you to follow that plan of yours of not selling too early. You will learn it on the process when the actual bull run comes because excitement is there, the happiness that your portfolio has grown a lot is there and you'll be happy to sell it and if ever you do just think that you're satisfied from doing so. No regrets when you sell and you think of the important thing you'll buy next from the profit you make from this bull run.
