If Satoshi were around and want to assess how far Bitcoin has come today I don't think that he'll rate it a failure, he will understand that change is possible. He created a decentralized digital currency that nobody can control including himself so he won't be surprised to see that his creation has shifted. Bitcoin was meant for p2p transactions, it evolved into an asset that is a store of value and now people prefer to hodl it rather than spending it. I think he will be impressed about Bitcoin innovation as a profitable asset, it hasn't changed from being decentralized and having a limited supply.
I mean after the FDV is getting this high, the P2P activity should be more seamless because volatility isn't a problem anymore. I also think that he'd be impressed how far his creation has been going, literally being the recognized digital asset of the world that every country is slowly adopting it. Maybe he even thinks that such thing is inevitable, but then again who knows right? |

Always appreciate athlete that invested in bitcoin and got profit from holding instead of creating celeb token or something like that. Because it's genuine effort and profit is deserved. Big W for Kevin Durant. But the question now is, was it because he is a famous athlete that his account, which couldn't be opened, was easily restored?
Even if coinbase say no, people won't believe  . But seeing there are many account getting locked out of the blue and still left unresolved for years, I guess yes. |

Whenever I see such, my mind is in trouble on my bitcoin investment. Because most of us have no extra security measures to protect our assets except the security from the wallet developers.
If you're holding for long term, I'd recommend gapped device. Whatever exploit there is if it can't connect to internet those hackers can do nothing and once you connected that wallet to the internet, you can easily create a new one to ensure maximum security. From what I see, hackers are trying to attack supply chain on NPM package manager and smart contract capable blockchain are the one that's vulnerable. With bitcoin you just need to worry about making your privkey or seed phrase secure. With those smart contract blockchains, you literally need to see your address spending approval, etc. I think it's still manageable for bitcoin holders. |

Rather than Sanchez, the red card and first goal was Chalobah's fault.
Rather than Sanchez and Chalobah. The goal stems from the poor decision of the coach on substitute to bring on. The team is made up of only defenders now. Like who plays football with 8 defenders, 1 attacker and 1 goalkeeper. There was clearly no one from the Chelsea wing to push attacks which gave Manchester United the opportunity to press very hard and get a goal. Yeah, it's hard to deny how poor Maresca's subs. Replacing all of his wingers with their defenders are just giving his opponent a way to pressure them even harder. I know he wanted his team to get draw, but it's not worked. Even with so many defenders, his team still conceded two, which is showing how his team's backline is the problem. |

I always get bored whenever I watch a Spanish La Liga match. I watched Real Madrid's match today, and it was the same.
After making it 2-0, they either don't get the ball into the attacking zone or they stall so much that you'd be bored to death.
When Mbappe gets the ball, he shoots like an arrow and charges towards goal, while the others play give-and-take, give-and-take, sideways passes.
Espanyol doesn't attack anyway, thinking they'll concede too many goals if they open up. It was another boring, suffocating match.
In this match, Bellingham and Camavinga returned to form for the first time since their injuries.
Real Madrid made it five out of five and maintained their top spot with 15 points.
I know how you feel. Madrid decreased their tempo a lot after they comfortably lead the game 2 - 0. They seem try to ensure nothing to happen with their players, and i guess that's what they needed to ensure all of their players still. Imagine they have done 5 games in 20 days, and rotation is a must. So they slowed their tempo to make sure none injury, and they can always rotate their players. I know it was a very boring game from time to the time when they have no intention to score more even after they lead the game. They do it for their good. |

What kind of a foul was that from Sanchez, since he knew Mbeumo was the last man he would have left him instead of fouling very early in the man to put all pressure on his side. Now Chelsea are one man down and all advantage is to Manchester United as they are a man up. Just that red card has changed the whole game plain for Chelsea as some players were removed in the process. If Manchester makes good use of this opportunity, it should be a win for them against Chelsea.
I blamed Sanchez for his braindead decision, but i clearly understand he doesn't want his club to be conceded during the early minutes. So he decided to get a red card, which is a horrible decision. If i were him, i'd rather let opponent to score first, but still play with 11 men. Apart from that Chelsea's defense is also worth to blame. Their defenders have major issue over the ball, and it happened since Bayern's game. Rather than Sanchez, the red card and first goal was Chalobah's fault. |

The better for you to talk it for yourselves bro. I think you already know the answer and this kind of topic is ridiculous. It's common thing for us to see someone who is starting to selling his primary needs for gambling is obviously losing his mind.

Liverpool 2 Vs Everton 1 FT
And the champions wins again for the 5th time in a row this campaign. Derby games are always caggy games but they managed to overcome the the Toffees in this Merseyside derby. But these's one thing I have noticed about this Liverpool team. They tend to slow down once they are like 2 goals ahead and start struggling once the opponent pulls one goal back.
Liverpool keeps rolling. I started to think they're the winner of the current season, though we're still farr away even from the middle of season. I see nothing to be complained from them during the first half. They looked so clinical, baller, and unstoppable. Only a bit disappointed with how Wirtz seems a bit less creative on the pitch. However, shoutout for Gravenberch who improved a lot. Other than that the second half was quite intense caused by there is a debate about the referee decided to retaken their free kick. I see so many complaints from Everton's side especially grealish. A good game overall, and i think we have a winner for the current season now. |

 It seems like Messi isn't thinking of retirement anytime soon.  I wonder who is going to retire earlier, him or Ronaldo? My opinion is Messi honestly. Because the way Ronaldo is still working is insane. 40 years old but he still has a great physique. I don't expect him to come back to Europe before retirement. However maybe we might see Messi doing it. I don't think either of Messi or Ronaldo will retire earlier. I think the scenario will be they're all will retire from football after they have done with the 2026 WC. Messi and Ronaldo have stated that next WC will be their last WC. It's possible we will see them to retire together in the same season. |

I disagree with this statement by young people, because the probabilities are the same, the only difference is the money, because one day the rich man was also poor and he probably became rich by betting, so it is possible for the poor man to become rich using the same bets.
No man, it's not like that. The context is that having less money force you to make more effort in order to generate huge profit. Yeah probabilities are the same but we're talking about how the rich and poor make same sum of money from gambling at the same time. Let's say the target is 10k. The rich can put $10k, and gamble on the game that gives him x2 multipler. It's totally different with the poor guy who started with $100 needs at least 100x multiplier, which required a lot of legs on its parlay and obviously harder difficulty. To conclude, being rich give me privillage even when it comes to the gambling. |

The problem is that spin can be gamed, and we don't know whether it's already programmed behind the scene for the death's choice to have greater chance than get the money.  Other than that we only live once. Exchanging our life with money will never ever worth. We can't gamble, we can't trade, we can do anything when we lose our life. |

is self control enough in this economy?
in order to save money, is it enough to just prevent oneself from buying things unnecessary or limit ourselves to only what is needed to survive? is this a way to live? is there no other easy way aside from earning so much?
sometimes i feel like even with utmost self control you still don’t end up getting rich due to expensive prices and lack of salary in general
Self control by depraving urself of buying things in my opinion is futile, you'd eventually spend your money to buy those things you want. It's always better to just earn more, you can buy things and stash money for investment. I just never really agree with the idea of saving, it just doesn't sit right with me. Saving money bits by bits until it stacked enough to invest then what happen if market turns bad and your money gone? Would you want to go through the path of ascetic again? I just think it's plain foolish. Just improve your skill and do side hustle man. |

Those who acquired bitcoin in early days got larger share in less price. Later when there are very less bitcoins left to be mined and prices are astronomically high, it will be hard to acquire even fractions of bitcoins. Where is equality concept associated with bitcoin then ?
That on its own is kind of fair game, isn't it? Early believer got to hold big amount of bitcoin because they are early believers. People who came in late got lesser amount because they believe too late and when things already good. Remember that early believer faced so many fud and insult by just holding bitcoin but they keep holding it. Equality doesn't mean everybody should get the same amount of bitcoin, just equality of opportunity is enough. |

Assuming the coin sent to an exchange is from a mixer for instance and that mixer have not been used to move stolen funds, what will the exchange do to such bitcoin? I'm assuming they will seize the coin and their TOS quoted to cover it up, this means that lot of this are not clear these days and sometimes I fear that people will lose their money for the slightest mistakes or what they know nothing about.
There’s a high risk your funds will be frozen because platforms must follow anti-money-laundering rules. Some exchanges might let small transfers slide, but many will freeze funds if something flags as suspicious. Once they see links to mixers or weird deposits, they’ll say it looks like money-laundering and that’s enough for them to act. You can’t really “fight” it easily; suspicion alone is often enough for a freeze. That's true and that's why even with P2P sometime we should try to put a little effort into tracking where the money come from. There's reason why institutional investors are only buying "clean" bitcoin which sounds ridiculous but spare them effort of going through court. At the end of the day it's just perspective. You can think that this dirty and clean thing doesn't make sense at all but those centralized institutions definitely care. |

So don't keep your business money or income in Bitcoin so has to avoid lost, keep your business money in Fiat currency or a stable coin like USDT.
You should never use operational money for investment ever, I think it's a common sense. You used the money you don't really need and the one that you can afford to lose. Even using it to buy stocks, bonds, and so on doesn't make sense because it's operational money. The key here is, don't ever use operational money or you risk your business going to bankruptcy. But I'm sure people with basic financial knowledge know this. |

Seems it will hit $120k again for real this time.
The interest cut is good for bitcoin but there's one other thing. It seems the possibility of recession is increasing and people are trying to hoard gold and possibly bitcoin as reflected from the price of both asset.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see $120k just next month, after all people are trying to find hedge against inflation.

Now there are many tools to detect where these coins come from, so regulated exchanges will find it easier to detect them... but who knows, this may just tighten government regulations.
What about coins from mixers? Some exchanges still don't accept coins from this source due to concerns about money laundering... while we want privacy using mixers, we're still considered wrong by the government.
It reminds me of world liberty finance blacklisting an address that uses money that come from mixer to their presale. It seems even CEX also gonna block your account the first day you used money that's connected from mixer and I don't think they care whether if it's legit or not. They just don't want to get entangled into AML problem. |

Because I remember very well in 2020, everybody considered Bitcoin as option for investments and trade. This days people chose physical jobs compare to Bitcoin traders, is that research statements true or you can educate us more
Or people just realized that holding bitcoin give you profit than doing whatever you're doing with trading. I knew a bunch of people who lose money due trading on perpetual market with bitcoin and I see people who become millionaire by simply holding bitcoin. I think explanation is pretty simple, bitcoin trading isn't as easy as it seems. |

This is why since I don't have crystal ball to predict the future I just buy using small portion of my capital and wait until things play out.
We just can't really predict which coin gonna go up so might as well expose our portfolio and I think people have been doing that as well as I've seen on X.
You just choose some of the coin that you have high conviction in and aped in.

I've personally got a blockchain wallet from 2014 that I'm locked out of.
Don't know how much is in there.
Has anyone here had luck recovering old/lost wallets? If so how much was in there?
I've tried various passwords over the years but no luck.
Got many addresses from the past that I can't recover, I'm sure there are money in there but I also have no luck. For some reason, me from the past always use obscure password and you know how it goes . I also have a bad habit of not writing down seed phrases back then so the blame is on me. I'm sure there are more than 0.1 BTC i can't recover due to losing seed phrases and wallet.dat but life move on and I started accumulating again. |
