Most people made some mistakes because of their ignorance on the true nature of bitcoin and most especially when they treat it in the same vein they treat a ponzi scheme in which I was also a victim. Mistakes are welcome, it makes humans wiser and only that some mistakes leave very painful marks, but it's human to adapt, re-strategize and move forward which is stated in your OP that you've done.
They must understand what is Ponzi scam and what Bitcoin is, has and provides to community. After understanding very basics of Ponzi and Bitcoin, they would easily recognize a fact that Bitcoin is not a Ponzi, has never been a Ponzi scam since 2009. Bitcoin markets is volatile and the only way you can take advantage of it is by continuously buying so you acquire bitcoin across different price ranges and be able to smoothen the effect of such volatility on your investment through DCA. Long term involvement is the key to biger and better profits in bitcoin.
A volatile market gives risk and chance while in a same zero-sum market, people belong to two types: winners and losers. Volatility can help winners to accumulate cheap bitcoins and take profit later when prive soars widly. Losers do oppositely when purchasing at top with FOMO and selling around bottoms by panic and fear. DCA is a good investment strategy for newbies and expereinced investors because it is like an effortless investment strategy over time. |

In other words these speculators are categorizing any of my own coins which I've acquired between 2014 to 2020 (11 to 5 years respectively) and haven't touched in all these years as "lost" just because I haven't decided to move them yet! This is while I do own their keys...  It's not calculation but estimation with assumptions behind. One of biggest assumptions is too long time inactive UTXOs belong to lost addresses, wallets and bitcoins while there is no proof to base that those bitcoins actually lost. Lost Bitcoin: 3.7 million Bitcoin are probably gone forever.Just probably with assumptions as I said. In addition, with different time thresholds for definition of lost bitcoins, there will be different estimations. https://www.bitcoinmagazinepro.com/charts/hodl-waves/ |

I don’t have exact numbers, but I’m pretty sure most Bitcoin is sitting in centralized exchanges or ETFs, basically the new Wall Street. And the one thing we all hated before, KYC it’s everywhere now, not just in exchanges but even on gambling sites
Is there KYC on Bitcoin blockchain? No. Bitcoin blockchain is decentralized, censorship-resistant and non-KYC so it does not violate Satoshi's vision when he created Bitcoin for us. If you use centralized exchanges or other centralized platforms and have to KYC, it's your choice, not enforcement from Satoshi Nakamoto or Bitcoin blockchain or miners. If you choose other choices, you can enjoy no KYC experience with Bitcoin. |

I think you forget about Hal Finney first mining Bitcoin,
Hal Finney made that post to announce that he run Bitcoin Core and a Bitcoin node, not to announce he was mining bitcoins. It can be different actitivies in 2025 but in 2009, Bitcoin was mineable with CPUs so he was able to find Bitcoin blocks with CPUs too. However, the message is about running Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin node to keep Bitcoin network lively. |

Of course, everything involves luck, and no matter how well-developed a strategy, even by experts, it still doesn't guarantee consistent wins, and the percentage of losses will always be greater than the percentage of wins.
Indeed, it's best to bet or play games you've mastered and capitalize on the high odds of winning by placing large bets, and vice versa. And even if you win less than you lose, you're still capitalizing on those odds by placing large bets.
In gambling, gamblers can believe they are genius and have excellent gambling strategies for winning and even beating casinos but the general fact is most of gamblers lose money while casinos become bigger and richer with time. There are winners in gambling but in general, gamblers can not beat casinos and can not easily win a lot of time and take out money of online casino too easily as if this is doable for gamblers, all online casinos would have been bankrupted by running out of money to proceed withdrawals of their users. You can think you already mastered a game, had a winning strategy but never bet too high on that winning strategy. With gambling, if you are over confident, bet high, and hope high, you can lose big and even lose all of your money. |

This chapter has been completed, according to his statement that he has succeeded in making a withdrawal. No one is harmed. The problem of verification according to him does not take long. If the withdrawal has been successful, the complaint is successfully handled well by the team. Nothing is not solved if the location of the problem is known to be correct without drama. Let's give him congratulations. If the withdrawal is big, I also want to be invited to drink together  BC.Game reputation was not damaged by this drama. They simply took action, carefully checked the case and after their investigation was done, result is good, they resolved it for the user. This style of detecting 'possible' issue on users and handle it after investigating the case carefully is like a standard of all business. No matter you are a small or big casino, if your business operation has holes, your business treasury can be exploited by bad users and cheaters. BC.Game is a big casino with long history of operation and good reputation, and over time they have proved that they are a trusted casino for gambling community. |

I'd love to see it tbh. If people can easily refer to sats whenever they want to trade stuff, it would be cool. On the flipside, it means we probably won't see any significant price changes in Bitcoin, which probably isn't ideal if you're here for the 10x pump.
Bitcoin is different than shitcoins and Bitcoin, to emphasize, is not a pump and dump coin. Shitcoins are pump and dump while Bitcoin is not and will never be. If you enter Bitcoin market in 2025, 10x is possible but it surely won't come from a pump and dump game. You can say it is possible 10x growth of Bitcoin price from 2025 price. Saying 10x pump is confusing and also makes Bitcoin somewhat similar to shitcoins. |

Of course, because we're used to bullish and bearish, right?  So the color red is for Down and green is for Up. I agree with you, but as long as the gamblers pay attention to the numbers, then they won't be distracted by the colors. It is popular color used on exchanges and the casino can consider of changing their colors to more common colors. They also can consider of adding new color sets including Green /Red set and allow their customers to customize colors if they want. Besides a default color set which can be the current one or Green/ Red set, users are free to choose color in profile settings. It is my another idea and proposal for the company to make improvement of their casino in order to serve their customers better. |

Why are stablecoins the key to making bitcoin a unit of account?
Bitcoin is Bitcoin and better than stablecoins so Bitcoin does not need stablecoins or need them to become a unit of account. With Bitcoin, you have Bitcoin private key (with non custodial wallets), and you have your own bank, own unit of account without any need of stable coins. Stablecoins are very dangerous and if you don't know PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets.Stable coin and black lists. |

You don't need to worry because we display live RTP that can be seen, making it easier for anyone to determine their favorite slot game based on the increase or decrease in RTP on that day. Green: RTP increase Red: RTP decrease  It is interesting but I think Razed team can change those colors. In my opinion, Green for increase, and Red for Decrease. It is popularly used by exchanges and using Green for decrease is quite abnormal and sometimes can confuse Razed.com users. It won't be a big change and if Razed.com think it is reasonable for color change, they get my support. Other community members can share their thinking about current colors and whether they want changes or not. |

If it were possible to just gain control of a BTC wallet through its public address, don't you think the BTC network would have collapsed by now. Even if the threat of quantum computers were real today, it still wouldn't be able to help 'steal' the coins in this address, because this address has never spent any coins, so its public key is unknown.
In the BTC network, ownership is proven through private keys or seed phrase, without that there is no way to 'own' those coins.
It is impossible to crack a Bitcoin public address for having its public key, then private key. The procedure from Bitcoin private key > Bitcoin public key > Bitcoin public address is one-way, and irreversible. If it is a two-way procedure and can be irreversible or cracked, Bitcoin would have no value as your bitcoins are not yours even you created it with your Bitcoin non custodial wallet because later everyone can get your private key by knowing your Bitcoin public address. |

Do you mean I should study risk management under trading or just the regular risk management? And if I want to study the technical, academical and you added fundamental analysis of trading then how to manage my deposit and reduce my risk should be part of it.
You must learn about risk management in general before learning about risk management in trading. You can see that if you want to trade, you must have trading capital and to have it, you must have risk management on your life, finance in order to have good capital for trading. If you can not manage risk good in general, your trading capital is very unstable and it increases risk of your trading activities later. If your finance is good, you can have discretionary trading fund and your trading begining is more solid with no pressure of earning anything from it or suddenly close your trading position by needing money for emergency. It does not mean you can take higher risk with trading, as defending your capital is most important in trading. |

The Premier League action will begin shortly. Chelsea, the champions of the last CWC tournament, will be one of the teams in contention. We know Chelsea will be one of the surprise teams in the Premier League this year. Therefore, betting on Chelsea on Razed.com might be a good option. However, in the demanding pace of the Premier League, every team can have a chance in every match. I'm confident Razed will offer the best betting odds. With the excitement of the Premier League this year, the odds will satisfy betting enthusiasts.
Chelsea are ready for their comeback strongly as one of competitors for Premier League title but they will have to compete with some strong clubs: Liverpool (the title holder), Manchester City (the strongest dominator in the league last decade), Arsenal (the runner-up in last three seasons), and maybe one underdog (who knows). Chelsea have good players and momentum for a good season that is better than two latest seasons but it's still hard and unsure that whether they can beat all competitors and take a league trophy. The FIFA Club World Cup trophy is a good booster for Chelsea before a new season but they need to perform well, maintain its consistency throughout a long season in order to win a crown. |

It IS the ONLY choice from a technological viewpoint. All of those other Proof Of Work coins are less secure than Bitcoin, have less capable developers, and CAN'T take its position as the Schelling Point of cryptocurrencies. Those Proof Of Stake networks, I have a simpler debate,
It's a security model that you're not getting from Bitcoin. They are laughable and unacceptable for people who want to HODL hard assets.
Proof of Stake networks are from altcoins and we know altcoins are centralized since their launches. After launches, their operations make their Proof of Stake networks more centralized to founders, core team members, whales, centralized exchanges and Proof of Stake blockchains are technically worse than Proof of Work blockchains. Compares a best PoW and best PoS blockchains: Bitcoin vs Ethereum, Bitcoin is better than Ethereum. Among PoW blockchains, Bitcoin blockchain is the best. https://howmanyconfs.com/ |

Shower thought, and thinking about the topic again. - In a very zoomed out chart, and having a presumption that the Federal Reserve and the other Central Banks around the world will continue to inflate the money supply over the long term, then I believe that it would be very logical to say that Bitcoin's price has NO upper limit?
Zoom out, widen your view and expand your mindset, it's easily help people to recognize how governments, central banks won't fix inflationary issues of fiat currencies. Then realize how Bitcoin was designed, and how it is good in technology as well as inflation vs time design, its value and how its future will be very bullish. Understanding those things, connecting them together, then people will see that Bitcoin is their choice, if not only choice. https://charts.bitbo.io/yearly-candles/https://blog.lopp.net/how-is-the-21-million-bitcoin-cap-defined-and-enforced/https://www.visualcapitalist.com/purchasing-power-of-the-u-s-dollar-over-time/ |

The value of cryptocurreny changes because of its volatility therefore if there are some changes in the market then the price would surely changes so if prices changes then there will a lot of people who will take the opportunity to earn more money that's why people use crypto for different purposes such as for storing or profit as an example. Anyway, even if the purpose of bitcoin isn't used all the time but there are some people who really used it for its intended uses.
You confused about value and price. Value does not come from price while price comes from value. Without value, price will be zero no matter how scammers want to build up price, it can be high and expensive for a while but eventually will fall to zero. Value comes from other things that must be fundamentals to make that blockchain, that project, that cryptocurrency has intrinsic value while the value itself can be assessed rightly or undervalued by investors and market. |

Scams are almost same in history and scammers only change their scam tools over time and with different technologies in different eras. Before AI, there are similar scams with videos too but there is a good way for detecting fake AI videos, at least with the current level of fake videos from AI. You can ask the scammer to shake their head, turn their head right and left, smile and so on. There will be abnormal points shown in the life video for you to realize that it is a fake one. About scam, there are many common scam types in The cryptocurrency scambook. |

From what I can deduce from the article I feel this is an investment approach. Just like every company CEO decides how much the earn and how the get paid, it is not out of place for Remixpoint CEO to do same he deserves any method of payment he chooses.
It's personal choice and when you are at a CEO position with better finance that employees, workers, you likely are able to be more comfortable with investment and such decisions. We weren't told if the employees are to be paid in bitcoin as well. I don't think in a modern era as this employers will forces their employees to earn their salary using any currency outside their local fiat. The CEO of Remixpoint obviously doesn't depend on his salary for survival so this might be an investment approach in view.
They might do this or might not but even if they try it as a mandatory policy, it won't work well with so many risks of failure like I described. Workers have worse financial status than the CEO and they actually need to use all, most or part of their wages more than the CEO. Not all people like Bitcoin and want to invest in Bitcoin and freedom is key to build up anything solid and sustainable including Bitcoin adoption. Elsalvador case is a bit twisted because their is a case of country policy. In a country citizens have no choice but to accept what ever the government present to them as legal tender.
Don't think that if you fail with a company policy, you can apply that strategy on a nation policy and succeed or vice versa. A failed policy is wrong at some points or very fundamentals so it is hard to succeed by applying it to other companies or other nations. |

As some have pointed out, Remixpoint is not the first company to pay its CEO in bitcoin, nor is Takashi Tashiro the first executive to receive a salary in bitcoin. Not to mention, they are too small a company to be able to create an effect or trend. Just like El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal currency, many expect it to create a huge ripple effect and lead other countries to follow suit. But as we all see, it doesn't create any breakthrough or effect. That's why I don't think this will have any important message, or effect.
To create a mass trend of using bitcoin for salary payment, we need world class companies and corporations like Apple, Nvidia to join this movement. Small and unbranded companies cannot do this.
The CEO can do anything he wants to receive salary in any method in his company. Who care if Elon Musk receives his salary in Telsa company with Tesla products? The company workers who have to be governed by the CEO, and treated by the company are vulnerable to the company policy changes. We can not be sure that if all workers in a company are forced to receive salary in bitcoin, is it good for them. The similar story is how El Salvador made Bitcoin Legal Tender in their nation years ago in the last market cycle, and forced all stores there must receive Bitcoin payments. Locals were not happy with that and you can imagine same unhappy feeling of workers who are forced to receive bitcoin. |
