The positive point of this is that he, like Saylor and many others have gone from Bitcoin naysayers to Bitcoin believers. People who don't know this world are seeing more and more news and more people saying that buying Bitcoin is worth it.

You didn't check bonus posts after tier c?

That was my impression as well. I wrote some posts in the Gambling section, like 4, and appear with no bonus posts, as well as the others from that tier downwards.
5623  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I hope I'm welcome here... I'm Newbie on: April 04, 2021, 05:05:10 PM
This is my first post and I'm quite happy to be here. Although it took me quite a while to come across this great platform that focus more on Bitcoin. Bitcoin as the master of all crypto currencies had been my major interest when it's comes to learning about the crypto world. Sometimes I get surprise seeing how it's price flunctuate going up and down forming a higher high(HL) and higher low(HL) which keeps me amazed of what could be behind it volatile movement and the entire system. I'm ready to learn everything about the great asset called Bitcoin and I urge for everyone view and assistance in actualising my quest for knowledge.

Well I've gone through the rules(the ones I could lay my hands on) and sometimes I get confused about some terms used here... although I'm still learning and never to quit.

Let's say I'm a Newbie or should I call it brand new member and I think I don't need to look farther cos all I've been longing to learn is here. Well I'm  a quite simple person, ready to learn, take corrections and abide by the rules guiding this great platform. I hope I'm in the right place to post this?
Thanks for this great opportunity!

As it seems that you intend to use the forum well and your post is well worked, I have given you your first merit as a welcome.

Aside from what has been said by fellow members, I want to warn you of the downside. Do not copy, do not beg, especially merit, and don't cheat in general. It doesn't look like you're going to do it anyway, but I'd rather warn you because lately I've caught a couple cheating and then when they get caught they regret it and it's too late.

The best one is https://freebitco.in/. It pays directly into the address you put. It is a reputable trusted site and it has many other features.
5625  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next Bitcoin Halving in 2024 & Price prediction? on: April 04, 2021, 04:57:22 PM
I say it's too early for that...

  Are you out of topics to start? We can't talk about the price of bitcoin during the next halving in 2024 when we may to even correctly get the price prior to the halving, if you have been observant this bull run of 2020 ending shocked many even the best optimist, I think the next bitcoin halving is a very long way to go, so much can happen in between the years gap.

You guys are already predicting the next pump after the halving?? Isn't it too early?

Yes, lol. I don't know what's the point of trying to predict the next one now, but the OP is free to open whatever threads he wants. As to what he asks, I would say that if we are lucky in the next cycle we will hit $1M. We have to think that the supercycle theory already gives $1M as a top for this cycle, although it seems like too much to me (I'd be happy if we reached that figure, though).
5626  Other / Off-topic / Re: What does Guys want ? on: April 04, 2021, 10:16:20 AM
In an ideal world, I would just want to fuck and be left alone. Since the real world I live in is far from ideal, features like those mentioned by DeathAngel are best:

We want honesty, trustworthy, funny girls.
5627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, the institutional coin on: April 04, 2021, 10:08:36 AM
I wouldn't say it's an institutional currency, because to begin with, as of today, it's more of a store of value than a currency. Maybe it will be in the future, but I doubt it. We should not forget that if Bitcoin is succeeding in this cycle it is thanks to institutions, and I don't see a problem with that. It departs from the original idea of the Bitcoin, but many times an invention goes beyond the idea that its creator had.
5628  Economy / Speculation / Re: Here is why April may be the best month yet for Bitcoin price on: April 04, 2021, 10:05:09 AM
What the article says falls within the scope of what is expected. The massive printing of the dollar has a direct relationship with the price. Furthermore, and this is not said in the article, companies are increasingly realizing that the best protection they have against currency devaluation is Bitcoin. It then goes on to say that April is usually a good month for Bitcoin, but that is a pattern of the past that need not remain so. While I quite like the April price prediction of $83k, I expect the price to be that or higher.

Although it's a bit of a laugh, this is good. The more people that appear in the media as having bought Bitcoin the better. If it's people from the gossip world, even better, so it helps to normalize and popularize Bitcoin to the masses.
5630  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 04, 2021, 06:46:55 AM
Its important to see where are we in terms of bitcoin / altcoin season.

What is the meaning of the important thing you are trying to talk about?


The important thing is that this is not a time to invest in the altcoins as many people are shilling their alts (Top 3 altcoins, Altcoins to perform well in April etc etc). Since we are at the top of altseason, its time to sell the alts and get into bitcoins, else you will be stuck in altcoins.

Here is a secret, In the bitcoin season, we should buy cheap alts and sell them in altseason while most people buy alts in altseason.
In altcoin season, we should focus to buy bitcoin to prepare for bitcoin season next.

I think it is just better to buy and hold Bitcoin, or maybe DCA. It has been the most profitable investment until now and it will save you a lot of headaches. Just buying and holding Bitcoin for long enough will result in a great wealth.

I don't want to try to time the market with alts. If you are able to, good for you, but I think most people will profit enough with the much simpler strategy.
5631  Economy / Economics / Re: Why did you buy bitcoin? on: April 04, 2021, 06:42:03 AM
Initially it was for the potential return. Then I started to get interested in its decentralized nature, the POW, etc. Lately I am not so much interested in the potential return as in protecting myself from the massive printing of central banks, which would be two sides of the same coin. As for the price, I can't tell you, as I did DCA and don't keep track.
5632  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It's Easter save some coin on: April 04, 2021, 06:38:03 AM
... I'm only saying making investing as part of the celebration would add color to the it both now and in the near future
...

I like more when you talk about investing than the title. Saving if not to invest later is not very smart nowadays due to mass printing. I'm not saying don't have a small emergency fund but other than that invest what you can.

Where I disagree is the Easter part. For me any time is a good time to invest, more so in Bitcoin, the prayer part I leave to you believers.
5633  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are conservatives happier than liberals in general?is it religion? on: April 04, 2021, 05:33:46 AM
Conservatives are happier, because they know that the vaccine is causing God to act, and send Jesus back for the Judgement. He'll be here soon, even if it takes 10 years yet.

No, he won't. Jesus was a flesh and blood human being who died and will never return. And when he doesn't come, you're not going to come around here and admit you were wrong.

And no, there is no scientific proof that conservatives are happier, what you say are lucubrations not based on rational arguments. Basing them on the phantom that you believe in does not give them any credibility.

5634  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin had its best Q1 performance this year since 2013 on: April 03, 2021, 07:07:02 AM
Interesting but when we look back 50 years from now there will be a lot of coincidences and less amount of perceived trends.  Bitcoin is different now versus 5 years ago and the average investor/trader is different than 5 years ago so I dont expect bitcoin to always follow the same time trends day by day, week by week and year by year.  We will always see new "trends" form and break which will end up being just coincidences.  With that being said i hope we follow the same path a q2 is killer 🙂

I totally agree with this, and it is one thing that is repeated a lot in the analyses that are made of the price. Supposed regularities are inferred from past trends and it is assumed that they will be similar in the future. When the truth is that some trends will repeat themselves and others will not.

On the other hand, I too hope that we break the statistics and spend many months in the positive.
5635  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin Smash Socialism in Venezuela? on: April 03, 2021, 07:02:18 AM
You are contradicting yourself. If Chavez distributed oil money best as possible, long term investments would have been done, but in fact they weren't, as you said.
If he can't be faulted for that, who should be then?
Not entirely his fault because it isn't within his control that the prices of oil dramatically reduced, yes it is his fault that the way he distributed the money towards the country is real bad but there are some that are not within his control, not to mention that his successor Maduro is incompetent. I don't think that bitcoin alone is enough to do a dent in the problem in Venezuela because if the government is so bad then the problem persists.

No, Chavez did not distribute the oil money well. What he did was to squander it on populist measures. Those who have managed the oil money well were the Norwegian politicians, who knew how to create the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world and from the rents from which their citizens benefit. They were socialists, or social democrats to be exact, but if we point out they were capitalists in terms of wealth creation and management and socialists in terms of distribution.

I just found out what Bitcoin is and how it can be used  Wink Wink . I want to buy bitcoin for him, but which bitcoin should I buy? Where best to follow the Bitcoin market. Can you write comments that might help me with these things?!  Huh Huh

Who do you want to buy Bitcoin for? I don't know if you have expressed yourself badly. In any case, you've been given good advice here, just remember that if you do end up buying, don't be fooled by Bitcoin Cash and all that crap. Buy only Bitcoin, the real one, the one that has no last name.
5637  Economy / Speculation / Re: How fast do you think will Bitcoin reach $100k? on: April 03, 2021, 04:11:40 AM
I don't know about the speed but I'm sure it will reach $100k this year. There are so many factors involved that make it almost impossible to guess when it will do so, but in 2-3 months I see it as plausible. What I also believe is that when we get close to that figure, it will be hard to beat it. We have been having resistances in the round numbers, $30k, $50k, $60k. It is quite likely that there is going to be a big resistance at $100k.
5638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A fake app in apple app stole his life savings in bitcoin on: April 03, 2021, 04:07:01 AM
While I feel sorry for that person, and understand that by sheer statistics, there are people who end up getting scammed in the end, I have a hard time understanding how someone with $600,000 doesn't take more precautions. On top of that it was almost all of their life savings. I wouldn't have them just in one place. And even less would I transfer them all to my cell phone.
5639  Economy / Speculation / Re: April 14, Coinbase IPO and pump on bitcoin? on: April 03, 2021, 03:56:34 AM
If you ask me, bitcoin presently is slowing down with  the pumps becoming weaker on the market. I reckon only more institutional investors’ billions can push this to the predicted $100k target and it appears an approval of an ETF by the US SEC might be one of the ways.

However, is Coinbase’ IPO another way or is the IPO positive only for Coinbase?



Coinbase announced that the SEC validated its proposal for a public direct listing of its stock. The ticker “COIN” will officially start trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Apr. 14, 2021.

In another press statement, Coinbase also announced they would hold a conference call on Apr. 6 to discuss the financial results of Q1 2021.

These are expected to be positive as the crypto market as a whole enjoyed an excellent first quarter with levels of retail interest unseen in years.


Read in full https://cryptobriefing.com/coinbase-announces-april-14th-direct-listing/

Do you call this weak pumps?



I don't.

We get used to the good stuff right away and it seems that if we encounter a little resistance after we've been beating ATH after ATH almost daily, there's something wrong.

Regarding Coinbase, I understand that it may have some influence, but what's going to get us to $100k is going to be the aggregate of institutional demand and reduced supply.
5640  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long until we are all forced jabbed with the vax? on: April 02, 2021, 01:14:30 PM
Being vaccinated reduces natural immunity, and doesn't guarantee protection from the new variants. If we are to be given a virus passport, it should be based on a test for immunity, and not on the hope that an artificial virus infection will give immunity.

The potential routes to immunity are a) get vaccinated, or b) contract the virus.

Obviously vaccination is not 100% effective, and will not safeguard against all future variants. But if virus mutation is sufficient to render current vaccines irrelevant, then the vaccines will be modified accordingly - modification being in general a simple, quick process, and not really comparable to the process of deriving a new vaccine from scratch. Take the annual updating of the flu vaccine as an example here.

Vaccination or infection are the routes to immunity. Take your pick as to which is preferable.

If I have to choose between the AstraZeneca vaccine and getting infected, I'd rather get infected. I know of several cases of middle-aged people, without pathologies, who after taking this vaccine have been unable to get out of bed for several days. The normal thing in these young healthy people is that if they catch the virus, the symptoms are less than that.

The coronavirus problem could have been solved in a better way: imposing restrictions only on the elderly and people with pathologies, instead of paralyzing entire economies. The problem is that no politician would dare to do that because then in the next election, the majority of millions of retirees would have voted against them because they felt discriminated against.
