I was having that "teenager thoughts" back in 2011 when I thought Bitcoin was like a coin used only by the criminals especially I hear that it was being used as a means of transaction in dark web. Even though right now I still have the thoughts that I could be more than a millionaire if I bought back in 2011, I don't think there is much point thinking about it anyway. It is just going to give out "spiral effect" on me.

There are those people that surely thinks that they're obliged to buy a "whole" Bitcoin. I never held more than 1 Bitcoin, but I don't really care since I am just like investing to it as like my "side hobby" aside from my full-time job.

Lol. I just checked that Bitcoin is now at 66k, huh?

Ah yes, the NFT games. I am not sure how those would be in the long-term since it is like and up and down scenario wherein sometimes it gets trending and sometimes it just dies out. One day, I will hear that SLP pumped to PHP 5 then the next day it will just dump like randomly to cents.
It is an unstable trend indeed, that is why I am not just going to buy the hypes.

This has been going for quite some time now, especially now that we are talking about NFTs. Axie already took the trend of these NFT games, and I am not sure when will such hype calm down. I already read that news, but I am not expecting too much from Ubisoft considering that they do not even listen to their community when it comes to their eSport games that are still quite popular like Siege and Extraction.
Whatever they put in the table, they should fix their previous damn games.

OPUS seems the only one that I could have heard in relation of NFTs. Currently NFT games are still covering up the trend due to the interactivity it can bring to those who had invested.
Can't imagine how the hype would go when Spotify decides to do it. Most of my friends use Spotify. I ain't that much of picky in terms of music platform and Youtube vids seems to be fine for me, but I am aware that Spotify is quite of a platform.

Well what can be do anyway regardless?
People would still join the hype for the purpose of quick profit. Remember the "squid game" token or whatever it was truly called? I recall that they went for their exit scam and now Binance, I believe, is now hunting for those scammers. Random investor wouldn't really care that much, if they were referred by someone for quick buck.

Siyamsk replied to HridoyHk_15 in a separate thread as well. I won't be surprised if these two end up being alts at all.


Edit: Now it was moved to Service Discussion. I am outta here.

Even if you haven't mentioned any amount, it is still somehow going to lead to a crime of any sorts you can imagine just by imagining on how much Bitcoin costs now even less than a whole. When you say that you are holding Bitcoin, people would think that you own more than a dollar obviously.  I don't even tell some of my relatives that I hold Bitcoin, because surely they'll be expecting me to be like a rich moron.

Well the OP seemed to hide email address already in his own profile page, so that is a good indication that OP won't give his email address to anyone. To further add this, consider making a junk/disposable email address that isn't widely used. I do that quite often when I stumble upon some suspicious website that strictly requires email address before anything else could be done.

Hi there,
I hope you have a wonderful time in here. Feel free to read around and feel free to join conversation as well.
I never had any proper introduction back in 2017, but it felt nice to at least join a conversation in my first post. This post somehow made me feel nostalgic.

A random human with plenty of connection could just pump some coins up within a day and call it a day whenever they decide to dump it down. Shiba is indeed a meme coin and that is why I steer clear away from it, since I am all about holding for longer term.
Dogecoin is something else, but it is still a meme coin from its name.

Yeah, do not even plan it. You're risking your sanity as well for people that will blame you in the future, thinking that they will be rich within a week or two just because of the volatiles market and those pump and dump schemes that don't even need to exist in the first place.
I see you had invested as well in a meme coin.

I have never used Cash App, but I heard you can buy Bitcoin with it. There is no "good place to start", but you should still consider the fees to be able to get the maximum amount of Bitcoin that your money can buy.
There are no minimum amount to start out, but there are minimum amount to withdraw from some wallets.

Just careful of the risk involved when you are planning to put it all in stablecoins, as they can be frozen even if it is in your own non-custodial wallets.

Edit: Somehow I recall this thread back in 2019 about the stablecoins frozen even in people's own wallet. [UPDATED] PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

Up this. A little bit off-topic, but I am annoyed when reading some crypto news only to be slowed down by gazillion of ads just for their own revenue and they won't even allow you to use AdBlocker, since their site script detects it almost immediately. Some let it slide.
Back to the topic, I am not really fan of reading large charts and statistics. I just hate the toxic side of Twitter, since 101% of people their that do not even have crypto knowledge become crypto experts after day 1, let alone when Musk hyped some coins back then.

Respect in the online world is a bit difficult to earn actually since you never know if the people behind the monitor is really a legitimate person to be given a "respect". I got bullied also but it was in Facebook and what is worse is that those are people that I knew, maybe not friends but still my point stands. I just learned how to give zero Fs to people around the internet and just give respect to those who really deserve it.

Expect internet to be the internet, mate. You will meet all kinds of people in here, not just in the forum. Even in gaming communities, there are those so called "toxic gaming communities" and there is not a single thing that everyone can do about it.

Because those merchants do not find the "right" reason to even include Bitcoin in their methods of accepting one. When they go digital transaction, they only think of DR and CR cards. When personal transactions, it is obvious that fiat comes first into their minds.
Unless they realized that decentralization is more than "no authorities involved", I don't think we will be able to find more merchants accepting Bitcoin soon.

It's not bud.
Actually you already mentioned the main problem, and that problem keeps persisting since crypto especially Bitcoin isn't supposed to be regulated at all. Future companies that will include Bitcoin as a payment method rather than a product would just lead tax authorities imposing tax on it.

Hold your horses there, buddy. Don't be too hasty buying one. You already said that it is very difficult to predict it, so why not wait for a bit for more dips, before deciding to buy? Just hold if it does not seem to be that worth the buy for you. I ain't buying one for now.

In the usual social media platforms, Bitcoin just went down by 1k and every crypto news are now claiming to be crypto experts.

I mean they're influencers in whatever they got popular from. Just like what King Theoden said
The least and the best they could so is just make their follower invest to whatever they are shilling. They are just influencer to their specialization, but that does not make them a good investor here in crypto.

Ingat lang sa will mo kabayan. Kung ako ay mula US, siguro bilang malaking investor ay gagawin ko, pero sa laki ng halaga ng dolyar sa atin, hindi ko mailagay sa sarili ko sa sitwasyong bibili ako ng ganyang karaming token na "meme" pa.
May mas paglalaanan pa akong investment niyan sa mga matataas na coin sa pamilihan.
