3. There are still people who has internet access, yet knows nothing about bitcoin. This group don't have interest in bitcoin maybe because they have a stable and permanent busy job which they relied wholly on.


You seem to fall under the fallacy of presuming that everybody thinks just like you. The above assumption is totally wrong.
Firstly, it is like 6 billion people currently with access to the internet. An overwhelming percentage knows what bitcoin is. However, many still think it is a currency you can use on the internet for payments, while this feature has long gone for BTC.

Secondly, you seem to think that the reason someone doesn't want to invest in Bitcoin is that he/she doesn't have a stable and permanent job.
On the contrary, an even more overwhelming majority of those that invest in Bitcoin have a stable job with a stable income.
Moreover, we have seen since last year investment funds, institutions, billionaires, and big companies investing in Bitcoin.
To end this, those that don't have a stable job will probably instead try to reduce their exposure and risk to affordable levels, since they will not have a future income to back their losses in case their investment goes bad.

Since BTC and crypto everyone wants to get rich and earn a lot of $. Everywhere you look it's the same story, be it BTC or any other shitcoin. It's obvious not everyone will make it.

Yeah, getting rich is nice and I also hope it will happen for myself but I feel the society is becoming way too materialistic. Also the greediness level seems very high, everyone want to get more and more.

What's your view on this?

LOL, BTC has no more to do with greed than fiat.  That is one silly assumption.  Maybe you feel greedy when you make money.  Most don't.

He didn't say that BTC has more to do with greed. You just only read the title and replied. Come on, it only takes 10 seconds to read the damn thing.

Anyway, to the OP, the world Sadly is way more materialistic than ever lately, and even more opportunistic and individualistic, which is certainly going to bring negative results. The outcome will be a worse society for the next generation. It's all about grabing the money fast enough right now.

You missed joining or working with Yahoo? then you missed half of your crypto bounty hunting.

back in the days when Yahoo is the most popular and in demand manager in this forum , he gives good payments to thousands of bitcointalk.org members and lucky that Im one of those.


Yeah. I have read the same and sadly I probably won't be able to participate in major signature campaigns as I'm not going to make it to a higher rank. With this rate, I'll probably rank to a full member after another 8 years.

If I see another social media campaign by Yahoo, I will try to apply for Twitter.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Top-5 bounty managers I've worked with on: June 26, 2021, 02:48:44 PM
the list are almost the best of the forum aside from you missed putting yahoo on the list lol.

These are managers I have applied and had a positive experience from their bounty management. I have only heard of yahoo, and never applied on any of this manager's bounties.
However, from what I've noticed all this time, he is not very active in the social bounties but mostly working with high ranking members of the bitcointalk community for signature campaigns with bitcoin as payment.

I haven't participated in any of those, and never asked since I never met the desired conditions. At least I remember it this way:  even for member status, managers are asking at least 4 merit received in the past 120 days.
I don't have but just 1 in the last 120 days, since no matter what I write, it seems that it doesn't deserve merit. Merit is not up to me to judge anyway.

So, how exactly do you expect me to have an opinion on yahoo? lol


Also I've seen one bounty on social by yahoo(Medusa) but I didn't find the rules appealing or the project to be something special. I don't apply to anything.

I don't like this kind of bounties or these rules:
Quote
We reserved the right to make changes on any terms if it’s reasonable to do so.
We reserved the right to suspend or have the allocation reduced on a certain bounty if we found it underperforming.
We reserved the right to make adjustments and modifications to the rules if necessary
Seriously all these rules are bugging me and I took risk to waste my time withs some other bounties having similar rules.. I just didn't want to join the project's website, download a wallet from a new project that I don't know anything about, and also didn't want to visit and submit anything on a website. This is the main reason I never join this kind of bounties.
25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Musk cares for $TSLA, not Bitcoin on: June 07, 2021, 06:12:29 PM

I would argue he also cares about showing his muscles everywhere in the world in every important sector. Cryptocurrencies has obviously become one of them so why not show the world that he can push Dogecoin through the roof and laugh authorities like the SEC straight in the face?

Musk is crazy, he is a genius and a maniac and what not, but you can't deny that this guy delivers on his promises and way beyond. Or maybe not on his promises, but he exceeds almost every human being on planet earth in terms of execution. That guy is out of this world in that regard. Building an internet bookstore and growing from there is one thing and what Bezos did is huge, but how the heck would you start to build a Tesla? I would be overwhelmed just with the thought process and I would give up for sure. Hats off to what he has achieved in his life already. It isn't just a piece of paper with a drawing by an engineer, like a prototype. His cars are *** driving. And his rockets are *** flying into space, come back and land. Wink

I don't know why he is called a genius so often. I have my reservations. He delivers part of his promises, those feasible. The unrealistic ones are there for the hype.
More time is needed to judge. Too many snowflakes appeared out of nowhere and disappeared like that.
26  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi ever come forward? on: June 05, 2021, 12:19:07 PM
Personally, I think the cons of him coming forward will always outweigh the pros but I'm curious what some of y'all think. What would your single biggest pro or con be for him coming/not coming forward be?

Are you so sure it's a him? I don't think Satoshi ever stated gender.
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Musk cares for $TSLA, not Bitcoin on: June 05, 2021, 06:38:59 AM
You mean the Elon Musk tweets didn't affect the price of Bitcoin at all but were totally irrelevant?
We can't really 100% sure if with his tweets, he can manipulate the Bitcoin market. But as many people take too seriously with his tweets and some article also exaggerating react his tweets, many people panic selling because of that's FUDs. Assuming Elon Musk tweet is affecting the Bitcoin price, this won't last long until many newcomer already understand Bitcoin is and not only to earn instant profit.

There's no correlation between TESLA stock and Bitcoin price, it's just your conspiracy.

It is not people. There are thousands of bots connected to tweets of public figures and react in less than a second buying/selling. When people read the tweets and react it is already too late.
Also, the tweets are part of Musk's plan to please his current investors and those that sold to rebuy, trying to make an image of Tesla having environmental concerns. Same goes for Square. It is all part of the agenda, do anything as long as it doesn't hurt our stock price.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Musk cares for $TSLA, not Bitcoin on: June 05, 2021, 05:58:41 AM
The Tesla price drop has nothing to do with the Bitcoin price drop.Tesla stocks were and still are overpriced.
Musk doesn't care about Bitcoin,just like 80% of all the investors,who bought Bitcoin.They care only about prices and profit margins.Everything is about "buy low,sell high".
Tesla would never cost hundreds of billions of dollars,if the government wasn't supporting that company with regulatory credits.

29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Musk cares for $TSLA, not Bitcoin on: June 05, 2021, 05:41:41 AM
This will be my final post about Elon Musk, and seriously we have all given too much attention to his shenanigans.
From the beginning, I was trying to understand his game and why he got into Bitcoin in the first place.
Musk has a very long file of tweets moving the price of Tesla since 2018. He (ab)uses his Twitter power to push prices.
His Bitcoin adventure though wasn't seen very positively by Tesla investors.

The YTD $TSLA chart is the reason for every tweet made by Musk. Tesla is down from ATH by a huge percentage and investors are not quite happy with that.
This is not just $1,5 billion but hundreds of billions.


He doesn't tweet to crash BTC, he doesn't care about Bitcoin, he only cares about his companies. He tried what was a trick to gain more popularity and entered the crypto world, but things didn't turn out as he expected, because many traditional investors dumped $TSLA for this reason.

The worst part is that Bitcoin is left now with Musk manipulating price, just for the shake of the price of $TSLA. I hope this resolves quickly and Musk loses his influence, but this will require giving a lot less attention to individuals trying to gain attention.
30  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a tool for enlightenment on: June 05, 2021, 05:08:05 AM
If the price goes up, that's fine, I can sell some and put it to one side and reinvest later. If the price goes down, that's fine, it means I can buy more sats on the cheap. I'm able to not mind what happens.


I find it very important that you came to terms with your investment. When you enter the world of Bitcoin usually something like a big crash happens and makes you wonder if you made the correct decision.
With time you will find that these dips, crashes, and bear markets mean nothing. What matters is Bitcoin having demand. This is already more than 10 years for Bitcoin and demand keeps increasing for many reasons.
One is that it can be used even at a national economy level as a store of value similar to governments holding gold in their vaults.

Anyway, with time you become convinced that you made the right choice no matter if you bought at a temporary top.
It matters a lot that while you didn't have a plan when entering, you quickly found the best one. While I was expecting a big crash and I was writing about it in my previous comments, I still think that this is not over yet.
Price has found support at this level and there is still a lot of time left. This bull run is not over yet and having lived the previous one I think that we are about to witness a new all-time high soon (July or August).
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Top-5 bounty managers I've worked with on: June 04, 2021, 07:22:36 PM

Right, also my one of the most favourite manager is Julerz12 even though my first bounty promotion started with his managed project. But i know that he wasn’t active for the long time in the forum as the reason said for family. now come back and i hope coming in the coming days he will manage worthy project for the hunters.

julerz12 is running a bounty currently. (Bmy.guide PostCard Campaign Round 2)
I haven't been part in his campaigns but I hear he is also a good manager. I checked this bounty and it is recommended to try. I remember reading about the previous bmy.guide bounty being successful. I might test the platform too one day, if I find the required time.


Wondering if there are new added in your list ?


I will update and let you know. I am not applying for all bounties and there are still many bounty managers trying their best to earn reputation. Currently I am active on Murat and Hhampuz bounties only.

It will certainly clean the market once again out of useless projects that don't worth $1, not the billions they had in market cap.

I'm expecting the total market cap to go down by 90% before even considering investing in anything again.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Latest FUD from Elon Musk: Tesla Has Diamond Hands on: May 21, 2021, 01:39:18 PM
He looks pathetic with all these tweets. I don't understand what he is trying to accomplish. Make Doge look better? Make the whole market look like a meme? Since he compares Bitcoin with Dogecoin probably he doesn't get it. We didn't create crypto to look exactly like fiat. If fiat is what he asks for in digital form the banks are there for him.
And there will also be CBDCs in a few years everywhere. Probably this is what he is trying to accomplish, one day to tweet how he loves the Chinese CBDC and how much better than Bitcoin this is.
Most of his tweets are just marketing, and while I don't know a lot about Tesla and SpaceX, it seems that he doesn't get cryptocurrency.
34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don't find any flaws for BTC except this single one... on: May 20, 2021, 10:30:57 AM
Maybe we're living an experiment.

Maybe this is an experiment but you are overthinking it. If you look carefully you will understand that Satoshi was a person that studied the cypherpunks, could have been one of them, or many of them too. You may not know this, but the cypherpunks, were considered at a very high position all over the world. Economists knew about them, (the smart contracts by Wei Dai, and everything they were creating) and were observing. Now, Bitcoin happened anonymously, and Satoshi is currently an idea.

When I started looking years ago, I first knew the word Bitcoin and Satoshi came after that. We don't have to keep looking as it has been so long Satoshi left that it doesn't matter any more. What matters is if there will be any kind of control on Bitcoin by governments or banks right now. Because then it will be Bitcoin losing all its value.
35  Other / Off-topic / Re: Musk deleted his Twitter bio: no longer a technoking and Mars imperator, hooray! on: May 20, 2021, 10:26:26 AM
Our first victory folks! Musk realized he is none of these, only a clown and acted accordingly.

https://twitter.com/maxkeiser/status/1395027289553965060

Great! Now he should delete his profile too and stop bothering with Dog coins.
I sometimes wonder about the intelligence of this person and how much the media inflated this.
36  Economy / Speculation / Re: About time it crashed on: May 19, 2021, 02:48:39 PM
It went up at christmas as it usually does, but then it kept going up a bit.  $20-30K was about the reasonable price.

Then NFTs came along.  Like all bubbles they blew BTC up.  Then musk and doge took off and it went up further.  Finally coinbase floated and it hit is peak. 

Coinbase flopped miserably, musk started bad mouthing btc and NFTs stalled.  It was all bound to end in tears.

Honestly, i see btc back in the $20K region before the end of the month.

I see price bellow $20,000. There is no support there. What I'm afraid is that possibly not even $10,000 will hold. Maybe, not idolizing people and less fomo will help next time to find a sustainable growth, if there will be a next time.
In a few months it is possible that all models will fail. S2F, trolololo charts, Hodl ratio and everything we follow can be invalidated easily. All the signs were coming for months, increase of scams, publicity for Bitcoin and scam useless coins by celebrities, Floyd Maywether once again, stable coins excessive printing, it was going to be an innevitable disaster.
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Not Disappearing At Least Until 2140. HODL! You Have Diamond Hands! on: May 19, 2021, 05:55:10 AM
Every person with a minimum IQ knows BTC is not disappearing at least until 2140 (last BTC to be mined) and it can't get too low (or zero lol) because some (including myself) would buy a lot and this will simply won't happen.  

So all you need are strong hands and then you will enjoy the benefits later!

Remember it was $10k not long ago and now it's $40k which is amazing!! It's doing awesomely great so don't be fooled by FUDsters like Elon Musk who are doing it to deceive you!

BTC will still exist in 2140 but will Elon too despite his brain chip? I doubt it. So it's all FUD and will be lost in history.

Don't take the FUD, BTC is here to stay for future generations, for your kids and your grandsons. HODL, you have diamond hands!


When I first found out Musk had bought bitcoin, I didn't understand what exactly was going to be the game there. Next he moved into Dogecoin and I was sure he was just trolling everyone with a billion dollar investment.
Since you talk about 2140, no one of us will be alive to know what will happen. Maybe Bitcoin will run in some nodes and some people will keep the network running for novelty reasons. Since there is very little utility for BTC as it is today.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will energy consumption be Bitcoins downfall ? on: May 17, 2021, 05:20:29 PM
However I don't like these fake arguments made at all.
This is not about protecting the environment it is all a game of manipulation. Suddenly Tesla and Square are all eco-friendly out of nowhere.
When they were investing in Bitcoin they knew of course.

Nothing fake about it,

The fact that both stocks (Tesla and Squre) are down since they announced their BTC investment means their sudden concerns responsibility towards the environment is fake. Jack knew and Elon knew. The difference is there are hundreds of billions lost, for a billion dollar investment in BTC. Both just want to save their stock price.

About your question, I already replied, PoW works like that and Bitcoin is not going to change. Each country has environment laws. If a mining farm in a third world country burns too much coal, it is probably because that country has a corrupt government accepting industries run with high pollution levels.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The dude makes $50k every day from dogecoin scams on: May 17, 2021, 05:07:54 PM
First four comments are calling the victims greedy and nothing about the filthy scammers. I can avoid scammers others don't, and yes the people that got scammed were greedy, but we are all in this because we are greedy too.
To a beginner something that you know it is a scam, it looks like an opportunity. And nope, I wasn't ever scammed in crypto to have a reason to defend others.
The OP is write though, these people are not the most clever and this is obvious since they are in Doge at these kind of prices.
40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will energy consumption be Bitcoins downfall ? on: May 17, 2021, 04:44:55 PM
This argument is difficult to make. It is already known that Bitcoin has huge electricity consumption. I don't think that PoW will change in Bitcoin, but I know for a fact that funds do not want to invest in anything that is polluting the environment.
But can we say that Bitcoin does that and is it worth this consumption? The network is getting better security, but even at 80% of the current hash-rate the network was already secure.
However I don't like these fake arguments made at all.
This is not about protecting the environment it is all a game of manipulation. Suddenly Tesla and Square are all eco-friendly out of nowhere.
When they were investing in Bitcoin they knew of course.
