Gifted wife with bitcoin money on birthday and wife happily gifted handmade bitcoin logo



Almost every year I celebrate my wife's birthday. This year too I celebrated my wife's birthday but it felt different from previous birthdays for me and my wife too. My wife's birthday was on 20/12/2023. I was very busy these two days for which I could not do the post but I got time today so I did the post.




This year I gifted my wife a hair straightener for her birthday with my invested bitcoins which cost not too much just $20. I have about $200 worth of invested bitcoins from which I spent about $85 on my wife's birthday gift and other stuff. But my wife is very happy to receive this gift from me because I gave her bitcoin money. I told my wife about bitcoin a long time ago she knows and understands well when it comes to bitcoin. He also said to invest in bitcoin with me but because he didn't have enough money he couldn't invest in bitcoin but I continue to invest in bitcoin sometimes buy some amount of bitcoin and try to hold for a long time maybe will continue in future.


 



My wife was happy to receive my bitcoin money gift and she gifted me bitcoin logo which I think is very beautiful because she made it with her own hands very hard just to gift me. Many may not like it. But after I gave him the gift, he stayed up all night and made me this handmade bitcoin logo as a reminder that I gave him a birthday gift in bitcoins.

I want everyone's prayers for my family and lastly a big thanks to Satoshi who created bitcoin and bitcoin forum. Maybe if he didn't create bitcoin we wouldn't know about bitcoin or even invest in it.

[First Lightning Payment Acceptance at Pingu's Burgers in Vietnam.]

First Lightning Payment Acceptance at Pingu's Burgers in Vietnam.

The popularity of Bitcoin has now reached its highest level across the world.Bitcoin is legal in almost many countries and in those countries where it is legal, Bitcoin is used as payment for various things in their country.As is often the case in El Salvador we see that there they buy various things with bitcoins and pay bitcoins as payment.
I saw on Twitter that after eating ice cream at a shop in El Salvador, people were paying for that ice cream with bitcoins.Similarly, today I saw people paying for burgers with bitcoins in a shop in Vietnam.

A new homemade-style hamburger restaurant located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is in the neighborhood of Thao Dien. This place is famous for their excellent food and friendly atmosphere and good service. A few days ago, the restaurant decided to accept Bitcoin as payment through the Lightning Network, even with customers choosing NeutronPay as their payment provider. If you ever visit Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, don't miss out on Pingu Vietnam for a juicy and delicious burger and keep some Satoshi in your Lightning Wallet.

On Dec. 15, 2023, a significant milestone was achieved in the Bitcoin blockchain world, just a day shy of the anniversary of the first Ordinal inscription. The total count of Ordinal inscriptions has impressively hit the 48 million mark. Despite initial skepticism about their longevity, these inscriptions have not only persisted but now make up half of all BTC transactions confirmed daily.

2023 has seen Ordinal inscriptions gain immense traction, significantly impacting Bitcoin’s ecosystem and vying with other blockchains in the non-fungible token (NFT) space. This journey began almost a year prior, on Dec. 16, 2022, marking the creation of the first-ever Ordinal inscription on Bitcoin’s distributed ledger.More

Qatar's sovereign wealth fund (QSWF) recently entered the volatile yet promising world of Bitcoin, signaling a significant shift in the global financial landscape.
qSWF's move is likely motivated by the significant income potential and growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class.

The $500 billion investment, if realized, could have profound implications for the cryptocurrency market. Potentially increasing Bitcoin's value and cementing its status as a mainstream investment option. The move by qSWF also reflects the growing trend of institutional investors to diversify their portfolios by allocating funds to digital assets.

[I mentioned this to you because I invested in Bitcoin with Mason's money.]

I have studied till 10th standard. Then my family didn't have money to send me further education for which I took a job in a garment company and worked there for two years.
I was dismissed from that garment company as I had no work experience.For which now I have chosen a profession that is Masonry.I have been doing this for about a month. But I was involved with Cryptocurrencies while in school because my friend was very expert in this crypto currency and I used to take ideas from him and try to learn from time to time.
I earn around 600 to 700 taka daily in our local currency doing this mason work which is enough for me.
I was told by my family to deposit some of my earned money in the bank but I did not agree.I ignored them and decided to invest some of my earned money in bitcoin instead of keeping it in the bank and hold the bitcoin.
I mentioned this to you because I invested in Bitcoin with Mason's money.

I started investing in bitcoins with a dollar amount that I earned from a day's work as a mason.Maybe my invested bitcoin amount is not much but I want to start with very small amount at first since my income is very low.

I bought $5 worth of bitcoins today.This $5 amount means a lot to me because this is my first bitcoin investment in my life.I want to hold my invested bitcoins for a long time and add more bitcoins to these bitcoins in the future.

 

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Census, inflation in Argentina is 142,7 per year. The country's struggling economy is one of the main drivers behind the Nov. 19 election of libertarian and Austrian-school economist Javier Millei as the new president. Inflation is one of the main reasons why Argentine citizens use alternatives to access dollars such as stablecoins. In this context, Miley is associated with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, due to her appeal to eliminate the central bank in her country. But right now, Miley's opinion on Bitcoin is neutral. "The problem I see with cryptocurrencies is that they don't have legal tender status, and they don't have an asset value. source

[We can expect Bitcoin price to reach $45,000 by the year 2022.]

It's the first time that the price of Bitcoin has been that high since April 2022, right before the broader cryptocurrency market plunged. Bitcoin's near 20-month peak represents a 15% climb over the past 30 days, with the price of the coin more than doubling since this time last year.
The rising price appears to reflect continued optimism and excitement over the anticipated approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.

We can expect Bitcoin price to reach $45,000 by the year 2022.

The alleged victim, @83_5BTC, revealed that after transferring 139 BTC to a new cold wallet, the funds were immediately swept to another wallet by the attackers. The transaction split the sum, sending 55.77 BTC to the hackers’ wallet, while the rest, a staggering 83.65 BTC, was paid as a transaction fee. This incident surpasses the previous high-fee record of 19.8 BTC.

Mononaut, the anonymous operator behind the mempool.space bitcoin explorer, weighed in on the incident. He suggested that “the most likely explanation is that the wallet was generated from bad entropy.” In layman’s terms, this means the wallet’s security was compromised due to weak randomization in its creation process. Mononaut’s insight provides a crucial understanding of the technical flaw that may have led to this unfortunate event. source
