Apparently some ASIC mining rigs were exposed to a power surge in Mongolia. Initiating a hash rate fluctuation over the GPU's.

Interesting thoughts. You could argue even though you were in the space at $10 and made millions you could have blown it all and now you are poor. Or even the case that you bought at $10 and sold at $100, would you be that rich? or you made a lot and reinvested recently and are currently 80-90% down on your portfolio. Many different scenarios can be played out. But overall, if you were smart enough to be in the space then, there's something about you.

I find it hard when people say "bitcoin is going....anything".  "IS" is a fact and nobody knows what will happen. I feel your belief brother, but when do you sell? You say it will be worth more than $50k, so what price will you sell at? Greed takes control and before you know it you have missed the next ATH. Create a strategy and stick to it. Good luck!

Ha ha nice.

Sometimes I wonder, if bitcoin booms will owning 1 bitcoin instantly make you famous lol

1 btc = fame. Tone Vays and Davincij15 come to mind 

Exactly, right!

RESPECT. Being an early adopter is how you perceive a timeline. To me $0.30 BTC is an early adopter, for all we know the timeline could be 11 years and we are in the last year. For all we know $20,000 was bitcoin's ATH ever.

I appreciate your thoughts and hopefully are investments improves our lives and you don't go to Vegas and put it all on red..and lose lol

All the best.

Maybe i don't belong on this forum because you guys are on another planet. EVERYBODY here has bought into bitcoin,FACT. In the philosophical sense. But that a side, Miners have bought rigs and dev's spend there time on crypto. Time is the most valuable commodity. Businesses related to crypto, you mean scammers right lol Traders technically own what they are trading (i'll let that slide) you could argue the exchanges technically own whats on there platform right lol.

The people who are still here since $10, etc are rich in the global term of the word rich. Maybe not in the western version of the word, but even then its still debatable.

Seriously, I want to walk in my local store and buy a loaf of bread in BTC. I want to send instant payments with lightning network and respect to all the dev's that are working there butts off. But the MAJORITY of bitcoiners are in it for the money and theres nothing wrong with that what so ever. Just quit the bitcoin snobbery.

PEACE.

Thanks for your opinion. Just curious to what reasons why people are here. Would you compare cryptocurrencies bitcoin in particular, to religion or a cult? Do these people you talk of see bitcoin as a god like figure? in Satoshi we trust. I think it was 2017, I genuinely questioned my sanity towards crypto's. I taught myself everything and spent all my spare time learning. Are we being brainwashed.

THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE ARE HERE, IS TO BECOME RICH. Name me just one other reason.

Hi, could you name me some great future possibilities of bitcoin please. Thank you.

Hi, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering. Would appreciate it. What do you mean other than to try it? what are they exactly doing? I mean I understand it cuts out the banks and its peer to peer where you become in control of your own money. But we are still talking money, bitcoin still has a value. Honestly if bitcoin was $0 tomorrow till the end of the year, how many people would actually be in the space.

Your talking like money means nothing to certain people. Money is everything to everyone in this space. Period. Dev's get paid, miners mine to get paid, traders trade to make money, investors, exchanges, shorting, advertisers. Companies have closed just because of the price of bitcoin. Maybe I am ranting but i just feel these people you talk about are rich anyway so it doesn't matter to them.

I mean anyone can invest in bitcoin, i'm guessing you mean enough to make you rich right? Which is kind of my point. The average Joe in my eyes, should aim to own 1 bitcoin and then just wait. What will be will be but at least you are in the game.

Think about it, we only invest in bitcoin to make money. I don't care what anyone else says, that's the simple harsh truth.

Wise thoughts. Yeah they will have a field day taxing the hell out of it. I personally think bitcoin will be worth $10's of millions in the future, where 80% are held by government bodies and the rest of us are fighting over the rest. Who knows, just another persons imagination running wild.

Hi there, I entered when bitcoin was around $600 a few years ago and lost a shit ton of money. Became obsessed with cryptocurrencies in general which spiraled into a dark depression. I'm guessing you mean "lose" and not "loose"? anyway, I can't afford to lose anything, that's why i'm always questioning the space. FYI I follow the beat of my own drum.

"Just keep calm and believe in blockchain. This tech is going to change the world for better!" Quick question, can you explain to me how it is going to change the world for the better?

The only reason why people buy bitcoin, is to make money. I believe in the tech, its the future blah blah blah. Your here to make "sick" gains, most will not have the stomach for it. How many investors bought 100 btc for $100 and sold them at $20,000 each, practically none.

Say bitcoin reaches $1 million and you invested now at $3800. You honestly think you wont sell when it hits $50,000 or any other figure that will improve your life significantly. Nobody knows if, when or how it will happen.

Don't waste your life waiting for a win, you will end up going crazy. Invest yeah sure, check it once a week / month on progress and just let it be man. For all we know, it could be outlawed and crash to $0 tomorrow.

I find that there is a lot of hostility and sarky comments on bitcoin forum. Had several accounts over several years and no matter what people post, there is always someone there to be a moany little punk. I and everyone else don't get paid to write our thoughts, who are you to judge what i write. So you think your so clever and superior to everyone else, show me.

Create a single none manipulated thought. Post it and we will see how smart you actually are Mr Smartguy.

I find it fascinating that over a long enough timeline, all bitcoins could be lost due to human error. As in, you have not provided a spouse to access your wallet. I'm guessing 200 years from now 80 - 90% would be lost if bitcoin survived that long.

Bitcoin. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins and 4 million have already been lost. The last bitcoin will be mined in 2040, 21 years from now. How many more will be lost by then? The main thing to consider which nobody is mentioning is, people die. People who own bitcoin and have never shared there private keys with anyone else, die. How many people who own bitcoin will die in the next 21 years. What about the next 40 years? IF bitcoin is the one and it is the next move in the evolution of money and it is consistently being lost over time the value will increase exponentially. Think about it, 4 million lost in the first 10 years of its existence. Lets say conservatively 15 million are left in 20 years time, how many do you think the likes of JP Morgan, Sachs, Soros, Gates, Musk and governments of the world will own? You and me are WAY down in the pecking order. The rich will scoop up the majority and leave the world fighting over scraps.

I believe less than 1 million bitcoins will be accessible to the general public because the rest will be vaulted away. One world currency seems inevitable and seems like its getting closer and closer. Million bitcoins divided by just 1 billion is 0.001btc each, current value $4ish. Yeah sure there could be more bitcoins on the market and yeah the population could be 10 billion people in 20 years time who spend a currency and yes it will not be divided equally, its just a rough example of what could realistically happen. 0.001btc will be worth a lot more than $4ish that is a cert.

So many predictions on what the value will be one day. Mathematical equations, previous data and technical analysis. But in the end it comes down to one thing, acceptance. If it is given the green light, in bitcoin we trust. On the flip side of the coin a red candle would indicate, prepare for war. You cant shut down bitcoin, the founder is a ghost and now it has its own satellites in space, which means it doesn't even need the internet any more. Lightning network will take BTC to mass adoption, are you seriously even considering betting against the smartest people on the planet. What is bitcoin? Anything you want it to be. If you think about it logically, we live in a digital world, where 2 year olds are playing minecraft and entertainment, socialising, possessions live online. Food is ordered through an app and the likes of amazon deliver what ever you imagine. Once a tree was a seed and you never even existed. $0.003 BTC has reached $20K and 99.9% of the population were unaware of what bitcoin is. Imagine when 10% jump on board the moon train, wouldn't that make bitcoin
be worth $2 million each? I understand this would put bitcoins market cap in the 10's of trillions of dollars. You need to understand its not a company, its not owned by anyone it is essentially money. Like gold as an asset, as a whole is worth around $7 trillion. Comparing gold to bitcoin is like comparing a horse to a car. Both are a means of transport but are to complete different entities. You can choose to ignore, you can choose to trade, you can choose to hold. Many choices are on the table for those who have access. If you have money spare and are not invested in bitcoin it might be  worth asking, why?

The chances are your money is in a bank account earning 3% average a year if you don't touch it. Lets say bitcoin is $4000, lets say you have $4000 in your bank earning $120 a year (3%) if your lucky. In 10 years time you will make $1200 assuming your bank has not collapsed. How much will you make off bitcoin? This year its entering the stock exchange, 8 bitcoin terminals are being setup daily, lightning network is being deployed enabling fast payments for retailers, bitcoin is deflationary, accepted on a global scale, the future of money. Who knows how much you would make but the most you could lose is $5200. That's if a dollar is still worth a dollar.

If you are even questioning whether to invest or not your best off not. Mainly because you would not know when to cash out. Your mindset is limited to what is and not what the future holds. The world was is built through the imagination of those able to see. For countries to make bitcoin its main currency, the price needs to be astronomical to reduce its volatility. Example if BTC was $2 million, buying / selling 1000 BTC would not alter the price which is the equivalent of $2 billion. It would probably take a trillion dollars to drastically alter the price, which would exactly happen with fiat currency today. Bitcoin has, is and always will be successful. For you to succeed requires knowledge, patience, belief.

How have you come up with that analysis of 5k? just personal opinion I take it?

Hi, i know i am classed as a newbie on here so you might not fully appreciate what i have to say. Couple of tips, learn as much as you can about investing your money - prices go up prices go down. Only invest what you feel comfortable with - personal decision. Always keep your personal data safe - lots of scammers. Learn the basics and progress from their. Never let anyone influence YOUR decisions. Ask aw many questions on here, there is always someone that can help.

hardware wallet, trezor or nano ledger. VERY RELIABLE, i wouldn't trust many methods. Paper wallet is not a bad shout, sometimes i feel keeping your information offline is the safest form. If your talking just a few dollars, yeah sure leave it on the exchange.

Everything can be classed as a bubble. Property market for example, 30 years ago houses were worth 1/10th of what they are today. gold, diamonds, antiques, collectibles what do they actually offer? Bitcoin is an asset but it brings so much more to the table. For bitcoin not to be successful is like saying technology will not be successful. Everything humans love, they digitize - pictures, games, music, videos, interacting, data, currency. Yes it probably is the biggest bubble in history, this is not a bad thing because if it "pops" it will just generate a new bubble and so on and so.
