Hopefully we'll get into that part where BTC is now all legalized globally though.
I have my doubts in believing that BTC will replace fiats though.
BTC is made to be decentralized and having government to regulate it to be primarily used kinda defeats its purpose though.

Well I guess judging from some Twitter crypto pages, I would see why other women just don't want to be involved in it. It is like battle of many people arguing about certain coin or even shilling another coin just to destroy another.
Aside from being harassed by some, it is quite opposite to others as some "simp" for other women.

Let's make it interesting.
How about in a parallel universe where fiat is the alternative while BTC is the primary currency around the world?
Pretty sure it sums up that it is now a need. One cannot buy food without BTC and food is obviously a needs.

Welcome back, OP.
Quite sad that you lost your access to your account. I wish I had seen your insights about Bitcoin back in those years.

Well moving on, just thinking about it that you can afford a Tesla now is quite insane just to think of how much you invested in Bitcoin back in 2018. Good thing you did not sold in 2019 though, price that year was insane.

Not at all times. Remember the El Salvador news? The government there just went all-in and recognized Bitcoin as a legal tender. Pretty sure that there was a lot of adoption there that is why it was now recognized as a legal tender.

Even if government decides to ban crypto, people still have the means to use VPNs to trade cryptos around the internet or even browse anonymously using Tor. P2P is worth mentioning as well.
Do not let the government make you paranoid too much making Bitcoin "fall".

Dunno why my other replies here got moderated.

Were ICOs really a thing back in 2016? I just thought they were like 2017-ish when they got popular as I saw a lot of ICO-related threads here back in those years or I might just be blind because I joined crypto that late as well.
I wouldn't be surprised since they started disappearing already the following year due to scams.

I never watched any podcast just yet, but sometimes I do quick clicks on Twitch random channels. Youtube Recommendation is quite not that okay for me since it just recommends me random stupid videos while I often search about crypto there.
Unless you can recommend channels that are legitimate there and not just paid to talk, I would just stick to Twitch.

There are different views so get used to "members who believe different".
Important factor to consider is if the coin even has a practical use. There are many copy paste or should I say carbon copy of coins that are just simply almost clone of another existing coin.
This is why I start from the top of the popular coins before going down to the pit of where many shitcoins exist.

Well I heard that it was meant to be just purely a meme in the first place when I heard that such coin exist. It was never meant to be a real coin from what I read in Reddit back then.
From the looks of it, it is just that the hype purely made its value go up.

...Or stats on how many ranked up from that kind of post.
I feel like those who ask how to rank up mostly have the intention only to join bounties or SCs since they would be able to wear signatures.

Ranking up is supposed to be an unintentional consequence that one contributed well in discussions or in the forum as a whole.

The El Salvador news was really something direct and I wish the same could be said in my country.
In case that Bitcoin is prohibited in my country, I would just search out in Facebook on who to trade here in my area ONLY IF I was already hodling BTC.
If I was like back in my 2013 misconception about Bitcoin, I might not care at all which is kind of sad but surely later on I would find ways to buy more BTC assuming that hodling is still allowed, not just the traditional transaction you'll usually do.

Off-forum it was claimed by some people to be used as a tipping coin in Reddit.
I am not sure why would such "tip" happen there, because mostly it is now either Award or karma system there.
Other than that, I can't think of any practical uses it can do anyway.

In any case that happens, I would take that discount to buy more BTC.
I mean why not right? The lowest we got so far was 29k if I can recall correctly.
It was short-timed opportunity to buy more. Kind of missed a bit because I thought that it will continue to go below that.

Never knew of them either.
Either that crypto is too techy for them to understand. Same goes when I think of women that are into coding, only one I knew so far is Ada Lovelace, lol.

It's nothing to be honest. There's no reason to shill it other than to meme it out of the public. Meme is already a big part of the internet and the guy just gets the attention through memeing out of the meme coins. He is an entrepreneur anyway. When he memes something out, it wouldn't be something that are like dank memes. Expect the meme coins.

This is why a lot of people hate him already. Though I respect the guy for the inventions he made, but he just keeps turning people's head around and can't just shut up and buy without tweeting it.
I don't care what he thinks of any meme coins or even Bitcoin. I would buy when I want to.

I recall a thread in Trading Disc. board discussing if loaning to trade or even to buy Bitcoin would be a great idea.
I can't wrap up my head on why would people tend to add another risk only to pay it all back to the loan when the risk paid off.
There are also thoughts of what if in x years/months the price didn't reach on what was expected. The best thing that could happen would only breakeven, but having that is kind of exhausting after all those days of hodling.

Or just newbies thinking that cryptos are purely money maker for them.
What happens after that kind of mindset? They will turn their home into cryptocurrency hoping that they'll be able to upgrade to a mansion after that, then when predictions goes against theirs.
What is their common plan B? Loaning. There where they start digging themselves into a deeper hole.

Losses for those who are looking for it as a long-term investment.
Profit for those who are along the waves of the pump and dump. It is a simple game for them and that's it.
Many altcoins are shitcoins in the end regardless of how good your research skills are.

Ain't gonna get anywhere, OP. I didn't expect that the Musk mentions would be so prolonged.
Other people like Mcafee (rip to that guy) didn't last that much in discussions in here, wouldn't even call an era.
I guess that's just how it is when it comes to rich people in the internet.
