When I first started my Crypto Journey as a small (and stupid) private Investor I first bought ETH. After that I bought the "old & slow" BTC.
When I gained 100%+ after around 1 year, I sold half of my BTC&ETH to own "free crypto".

It felt like I was Warren Buffet on Crack and it also definitely helped me to get through the bear market after 2017.
In this time I became a hardcore "BTC or die"-Guy. I still own some stupid altcoins, but really small amounts.
Its gambling and testing around for me. I don't want to outperform BTC with it, just try staking or the network itself.

Right now I feel like (besides all the risks), that I don't want to trade my BTC back to weird fiat digits on my bank account
- Even at times it maybe would be the more financally smart thing to do. Maximizing profits aside: How do you guys feel about selling
BTC for fiat gains (or even at a loss [maybe for tax reasons or because your insane  ]?

Do you guys life by the "No Neo, I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... you won't have to (sell your btc)"-Meme or
are you mere mortals that sell before they lose their fiat profits?

Hello my fellow toxic Bitcoin Maximalist,

I launched a small and buggy comparison Portal (LaHUGE.com) and thought in some far fetched future I could
maybe give registered Users the Option to gain Sats by buying anything. No strings attached, 0 Sat fee, Instant payment via LN.

Even if it would be possible by law in my country, how would you approach something like that? I guess linking a User with a
verified purchase will be the "easy" part. How could I connect an LN Node with this kind of User Data? Are there any Tutorials
about anything like this?

I was just wondering about that Idea for some time now and thought this place could be a got Start to get some first hints 

Hey Guys,

with LN becoming more and more "a thing" and me being bullish on BTCs future as the last currency we will ever adopt,
I thought to myself: Are there any LN BTC driven NFT games? Are they any good? If not: Why?

Of course I'll google that shit, but I guess this forum could also be a nice start for my research. As a proud owner of my
cryptokitties from the last century, I know there is a lot NFT Stuff and "Games" happening on the ETH Chain.

Call me a hater, but I prefer my Games to use real money - not premined shitcoins. We already got some of these, we call
them Dollars. My Checklist for this game would be something like: OpenSource, Items are NFTs, BTC driven, LN (or else)
for Micro TXs.

Could some of you give me a List of things I should read/learn to get behind any of this? I know Games are a FUCKTON of
work, but I'm a Web Developer and this project idea boggles my mind. It feels like there should be a good BTC Game. Like an
opensource Diablo, WOW or something.

 

I'm not really trading, but who doesn't like more BTC by selling high and buying again "low"?
Am I wrong or is the mempool being pretty empty a REALLY bad sign for the 50%+ in Price?
Is this the last high for this year? Or am I being too paranoid after 2017 

Hey guys,

if this was already asked (which it will be), a link to the thread would be awesome
The title should really say it all: If I backup my 24(+1) Seedphrase from my Ledger,
Bitbox, Trezor or whatever => Am I also backing up my Altcoins?

The only way I imagine this could be possible is, if the wallet software from the
company uses the btc masterkey to generate all other keys on the wallet. Is that
the case and if so: Are there hardware wallets that don't do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys & Girls,

first of all: I'm sorry for this rather boring Thread. I know BTC is way more than a price moment upwards (in theory),
but let's be realistic for a Moment: More BTC is always nice to have, so why not think about some recent movements?

I think we could maybe see something like in Feb 2018, when BTC bounced back up after around 65% loss.
After that came the ~2.5 Year long "Crypto winter", as many of you will remember .

Now, in 2021 we're at a +25% after about 50% loss before. When I hear into my feelings, I think we could end up in
another winter till the next having. It does not feel like 100k will happen. I don't care and it's not important to me,
just stock-to-flow and all the 2021 BTC News seemed way stronger than in 2017... but is it strong enough for 100k?
I don't think so. Many people still hate BTC for a lot of wrong reasons, because they're not educated enough right now.
In my real life I'm more or less the outsider with my Opinion about BTC changing the whole Currency System.

That's why I'm asking you guys, how do you feel about BTC at this moment? Is this protocol worth 1 Trillion and more at this current stage?
Don't get me wrong. I love this project and never saw anything like BTC before, but we're still just "a few" people.

Hey guys & girls,

I guess this is my first Post ever? Yay! Anyways...

Is there any Topic related to best practices for using Wallets and Addresses? The first few years I just send everything to one Address (I'm a former ETH Pleb), but after moving these Coins I saw that my Tx Fee was higher than usual because I had to "stack my UTXOs" together, if I understood correctly. Nowadays I send my BTC usually to a new address all the time. So just 1 Tx per Address. Is this better in any way?

I thought by doing so, I can at least pay low fees per vByte when I want to spend less BTC than I have on 1 Address. Only if I want to spend more than I have on any of my Addresses than I would need to Stack Addresses together and pay higher fees in return. Am I getting it right? Could I improve my 120% fail proof "System"? I guess it can't go Tits up? 

I hope I don't get blamed for not using the search function. I should have properly just used the search function.
