Litecoin can outperform Bitcoin when it comes to profit percentage, and I think LTC is not dead its just that the market is on a bear market right now and its affected as well. Look at the trend for long term, I’m confident LTC will pump soon, also you have to consider the upcoming updates with LTC, and that’s the halving, the price will pump after that for sure.

Soon the U.S. cryptocurrency rules will be adopted, and then the growth will begin. It is already obvious that the SEC is behaving absurdly and they simply do not have enough resources to sue all crypto projects. As a result, we will see cryptocurrencies rise on the news that the SEC is backing down and cryptocurrencies will not be regulated by the SEC.

G7 countries haven't exhausted their growth potential and to be honest, word limit doesn't exist in this world! In G7 countries, you have Canada which is the second largest country in the world with over 80% of its uninhabited land, over 40% of land of the United States is uninhabited too. The modern world that we have, throughout the history, was created by Greece, Italy, France, Germany and England. And recently, in modern history, the United States of America and G7 countries have made our world more developed and progressive. BRICS countries are not on their level. Yes, their GDP may takeover G7 GDPs (that will be calculated in USD again ) but that means nothing. Higher GDP doesn't automatically mean that individual person's standard of living will improve.

The American Dollar is not that easy to remove and I bet America doesn't spend tons of money on NATO, they won't let it happen. While I personally prefer Dedollarisation, I think that's not gonna end well for all of us.

There's the danger and that's why it's better be taught early because some activities and norms that these kids may not could be the start of corruption.

While they're still young and little, they'll have the idea on what they should avoid and what it can be in the future. These kids are easy to teach but you need also to be careful with the wordings you'll use on them so that they can easily understand why it has to be learned.

And out of their own curiosity, soon they'll be the one asking questions related to it.

I said to myself, eh, why not?  If I were in her place, I'm pretty sure I'll like your gift because I know what Bitcoin is or how valuable it is.
However, there are too many factors to consider if you want to gift your wife a Bitcoin.

• Is she aware of Bitcoin?
• Is she knowledgeable about it?
• It is valuable, Do you think she likes it more than cash?

But as you've said it's illegal in your country, I think you can't give it to her publicly during the wedding.
Think about it.

Meanwhile, in my opinion, the sentiment in June is still very bearish, because some bad news came such as Binance vs SEC,
Coinbase vs SEC and several exchanges that went bankrupt,
this is why good news like China which legalized cryptocurrencies still can't make the market bullish.

This should be in Nigeria, the price of things in that country is relatively very high, I can't help but wonder, is the price of eggs even supposed to be expensive??

I mean, fowl feeds happens to be the cheapest and easiest fetched among animals, so why should their bearings be expensive??

That's right, In terms of a Store of Value, BTC serves as a more reliable long term store of value and judging by Bitcoin's underlying technology, the blockchain, has the potential to revolutionize various industries and reshape the financial system. This means that there is a transformative power of this blockchain technology that triggers the value of Bitcoin to exceed the value of gold.

FTX back in operation (properly) is a good thing if it can manage to do so sensibly.  Whats more surprising is they dont change their name, the brand name apparently is worth something still in recognition and that is probably unique to crypto.  Anywhere else in business, the accounts and standing business left in FTX would be absorbed into another company.   JPMorgan just recently took over another bank and presumably they will cease the use of that former banks name etc.   
   I think its a positive because its what would normally happen with any business, you dont throw it away anymore then you have to.   Thats a positive going forward because it encourages investment to reduce the losses from prior attempts to invest in this space.   The fact they were not BTC based but other blockchains and so people disapprove of that, thats a separate line of criticism.  Many wont separate crypto generally from BTC its all the same sector to them, I think in terms of innovation to address the public thats generally how I would view things too.

The Russian economy in the current and subsequent years will directly depend on the situation at the front in Ukraine. And just here, it seems, Russia is in for big problems. The IMF cannot know how further events in this war will develop, and therefore the forecasts for the Russian economy will change more than once even for this year. There is a possibility of deepening internal confrontations and the desire of the regions to secede from the center as independent republics. And in this case, Russia may not even have its own sources of oil and gas. After all, they are given to the center just by distant regions. And without oil and gas, Russia will be a poor and backward country.

For Altcoins there may be similarities but also not entirely like gambling, although in practice altcoins are like betting to determine the price in the next period. I think there are a lot of differences between crypto and gambling, especially when we talk about bitcoin, even though altcoins are similarly based on luck in guessing the price. For the problem of risk, it has another meaning to connect gambling with bitcoin because in bitcoin we bet risks that are clearer, with the understanding that knowledge will minimize the risks that will occur.

Most people have not studied historically about the movement of bitcoins and they often try their luck instead of trying to analyze it instead that's why sometimes they think bitcoin is full of risks associated with gambling. Bitcoins can be considered as a store of value in the long term and this is one of the reasons that distinguish bitcoin different from gambling.

I am almost through this whole thread.. 

...First off, I will note that this surely is a bit of a superficial topic, and yeah, OP does seem a bit questionable in terms of a kind of superficial pandering he had seemed to be eliciting.. but there has been some substantive discussions, too.. even though surely some of us can become somewhat irritated that panderers are getting rewarded with merits that they may well not deserve.. .....

....but it is not always easy to figure out these kinds of matters, including more and more forum members may well be using some kinds AI to draft their post contents.. and can dee humanoids determine the difference? are good points made?  Do merit thresholds need to be raised by theymos and even signature campaigns or other reasons that members will gain credibility through merits?  There likely is no complete solution to these kinds of issues in which some undeserving members are going to slip through the cracks and even appear to be credible by their having had earned merits and even increased their post counts in ways that do not even appear to be overly superficial, non-substantive and/or non-contributory... 

I surely am not going to deny some of the frustration in terms of my not necessarily wanting to reward certain kinds of lazy (and not real human content) behaviors.. and how are we going to distinguish?   


You seem to not understand certain aspects of the power of bitcoin HajiBagi.

If you hold your own bitcoin who is going to stop you from transacting in it? 

Sure maybe with the bank, mostly you don't have any issues or delays, and if you fuck up you may well get a refund.. but still... there is a bit of disconnect if you are trying to suggest that having your own wallet and going through some third party is some kind of very similar thing that is hardly even noticeable in terms of how they might be different....  In other words, you are glossing over a pretty fucking BIG feature of bitcoin that does not exist when transacting through a third party.

Yes.. bitcoin has disadvantages in terms of usability..

Yes, bitcoin has possibilities of losing your value in ways in which no one can help you to recover your funds.

But the mere fact that we can say that bitcoin has advantages and disadvantages as compared with banks (or using a third party) does not cause bitcoin to be substantially and materially similar to using a third party wallet - as you are lamely (and inaccurately) proclaiming.  Are you doing it on purpose?  or do you just not know what is bitcoin?


These statements are not based in reality.

People hardly know shit about bitcoin, even people who own bitcoin hardly know shit about bitcoin because many people think of bitcoin ONLY in terms of NGU technology potential, and if the ONLY thing that the HODLers know about bitcoin is that it has NGU technology possibilities, then it is quite likely that they do not hardly know about bitcoin.

Another thing is that if people are so damned attracted to bitcoin, then why is it that ONLY less than 1% of the world's population has price exposure to bitcoin?

Let me answer that question.  Part of the reason that less than 1% of the world's population has price exposure to bitcoin is because they hardly know shit about it, even if they might have had heard the word, "bitcoin."

I would imagine that peak popularity might be around the time that more than 90% of the world's population has decent exposure to BTC's price, whether they are directly holding it or if they are holding it through a third party (and yeah we cannot be sure about the extent to which BTC's dilution of supply is going to continue to be affected and impacted by various ways in which third parties are involved in bitcoin and also the extent to which some people/institution/governments might also be contributing to the dilution of bitcoin's supply (its inflation) by entering into credit agreements that would thereby allow BTC to be doubly counted when multiple credit agreements and claims upon bitcoin might be made.. and later shown that all of the claims cannot be satisfied by the quantity of the bitcoin held and the number of credit arrangements that had been entered into based on some form of trust rather than actual verification... which likely ends up being that ONLY the person who holds the keys can really verify that they have the keys - so long as no one is able to take the keys from them..


That's a decently good point aryana42.  Even if many of us might have differing perspectives in regards to why we think that we "love" bitcoin, but the fact of the matter might be that bitcoin is providing a large number of people with some potential optionality that they might not otherwise have, and some of that optionality might come through the number go up aspect, but another of the optionality comes from the abilities of normies to potentially not end up getting trapped into a system of control that does not necessarily allow them to exercise their own individual sovereignty.. and being able to choose whether or how to transact or whether or not to save should be self-sovereignty optionalities that are seeming to be increasingly infringed upon within our traditional status quo (and non-bitcoin) systems, and whether or not traditional (non-bitcoin) systems are getting worse, bitcoin does seem to provide some optionalities for folks who are ready, willing and able to take advantage of such ongoingly developing optionalities.

The dynamics of each period is different and investing in the top 10 coins is not a rational tactic. If you are new to the market and do not know anything about the market, you can try thisbut this experiment should not be long. My investments that i would make blindly in the market for many years would be Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you had started investing when Ethereum was not in the top 10, your life would have changed completely. I mean if you find and invest in a coin with a dazzling project and action, with a good team and a solid plan, apart from the top 10 coins your life can change in the coming years. The top 10 coins in the years 2015-2017-2021 are as in the image. If you had invested in the top 10 coins in 2015, your profit would probably have been less than your loss. If you want to dive into the top 10 now stay of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

It's not wrong to make as much money as possible. The problem lies in what motivates you to keep working for the money. If an individual is greedy, then whatever amount he must have amassed would never be enough. Money has and will always be important cause obviously we need to have some money to live a decent life. It's the level of  importance people have attributed to money that we forget there are other things that would bring us happiness besides money.

What I do not get though, is why you think we shouldn't be greedy just cause "we have all been given our own potion". Sadly, in life, some have and would always have more portions than the other. And if you don't work hard, there won't be any portion for you to have.

Nor can I think of any reason for the government to do this. Seizing cryptocurrency is not possible because of its decentralization, and above all, cryptocurrency is not something more valuable than gold, it has potential but is still nothing compared to gold. And I agree with you, if there is a major crisis again, they will also find a way to usurp our gold, not our cryptocurrency, which is an unstable and volatile asset. To be fair, gold will always be the first choice if there is a larger crisis.

Physical exchanges in neighborhoods can vary in safety depending on different factors. Some neighborhood may have higher crime rates and are less safe compared to others. One way to ensure safety is to meet in public place with good lighting and a lot of people around. It is also important to let someone know where you are going who are you meeting. Important to trust your instincts and avoid situations that make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Physical exchanges can be safe it is important to take precautions and be aware of one's surroundings to ensure personal safety.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with Binance, rest assured. Binance is just an exchange that allows users to exchange their bitcoins for fiat or for altcoins, but without Binance bitcoin trades can still be made regardless of whether it's on another centralized exchange or a decentralized exchange. The impact of the SEC on the bitcoin price was only temporary as some people feared that it would result in a price drop, but in the longer term they will also realize that it is FUD that some people are exploiting to get weak hands to give up their bitcoin.

Don't worry about bitcoin, you have to trust that Binance has nothing to do with bitcoin other than just being a trading platform. Even if the Binance case could affect the market, it will only be a while before you have to face the fact that bitcoin will find new ATH again in the future.

there are those who are really greedy for money so they try to keep getting money even though they already have a lot, but there are also those who are really honest about working but the money keeps coming to them, there is even the term "people are glorified because of money and are despised because of money"
it's not wrong to make as much money as possible because indeed in this era all people in the world are driven by money ^{(without money how do you eat and meet your and your family's needs every day)} but don't be greedy for that because everyone has been given their own portion.

I would also make a transaction from one of my first wallets, but unfortunately, I cannot. I think that just a person found the opportunity to make this transaction. For example, I remembered the password for a nightmare. Satoshi it or not, you can look at the activity before that. Is this the first transaction in many years???
