I'm not surprised the previous two replies make fun of this post. If there is a place where good posts don't go unnoticed is this board. In the bitcoin section, for example, a post or a comment is more likely to go unnoticed.

Apart from that, I take it he is the alt of a famous troll.

I agree that it is better to see the bitcoin in a very long term perspective. That way, it's easier for me to see bitcoin winning the war on fiat and distancing itself from other high-risk assets.

It's a pitty how the price is behaving nowadays, though,

Why don't you say their names? If you say they are scammers, you shouldn't have a problem saying who they are.

I am sorry to say that, nowadays, bitcoin price reflects that it is simply high-risk asset, like another. Like if you invest in a start up of buy shares of a small cap company.

And what happens with those highly volatile assets when there is a crisis? People sell them to obten the most liquid asset: cash. Fiat money.

It wasn't created with that purpose. On the contrary, it was created to protect hodlers from the abuses of the financial system and central banks. But nowadays it isn't working that way.

Most of us in this forum believe that BTC is a unique asset that has value in itself for its unique features, thus it has to appreciate a lot in fiat terms, to six figures, maybe to seven figures and maybe there will be a point where it won't make sense to compare it to fiat. Both because of its intrisic value and because of the fiat inflation.

But the market doesn't reflect that way of thinking. That is why I've started to wonder if we are biased.

We had a mini crisis starting in March but we seemed to have recovered pretty quick. Now imagine that we enter a very deep crisis. A deep and long one.

Do you think BTC will appreciate?

I'm sorry to say that I don't think so. Most people would sell bitcoin, as well as other assets, to obtain liquidity.

I would be glad if someone persuaded me of the opposite, though.

You can take TRT for many reasons but not for that one, as when you are on TRT your body stops  producing sperm. For what you are trying to achieve, I would suggest using natural supplements to boost your natural test levels and to increase quality and quantity of your sperm.

I think merit giveaways are a good idea if they consist in the giver giving a look at the post history and finding some quality posts to give merit to. Also, if newbies post in the thread giveaway the posts they believe deserve merit. That way some worthy posts that has been unnoticed can receive merit.

I think it's not a yes or no question. Some giveaways are a good idea, others not.

Well, I understand that, if he has lived all his life there, he has been reluctant for a long time to leave, even though he did not like the situation.

I suppose he would prefer to stay in California but if the situation would be different

I was a bit shocked to see this video. I don't live in the US but the concept of white flight for me about something that might have happened to a small extent in the past but this guy is moving his entire company to Nashville, taking its 75 jobs there.

A guy who has lived his entire life in California, who loves California and moves his company because he can't stand it any more. WTF?

He says that this will happen more, people fleeing Californa, New York, New Jersey etc.

Do you think what happened in Detroit in the 60s can happen in New York or L.A nowadays?

I'm not too worried about that but I don't live in India. To ban something doesn't make it disappear and there are many other countries that have regulated crypto.

It will have an impact in the Indian market, that's for sure as Indians won't be able to trade (legally) and there will only remain as users those who use hard wallets, tor, decentralised exchanges...

I hope they think twice and don't pass the law.

I find it interesting what you are saying but I'm not sure wether the pools can do that. Can miners choose which transactions to process? Let's see if someone with more technical knowledge can enlighten us.

Anyway, it's a bit fantasy, as all the pools would need to act as a whole, and there would still be some miners outside the pools.

To begin with, we don't know whether bitcoin did start with "just one man". One of the hypothesis is that Satoshi was actually a group of people, although I think it is more unlikely.

I don't think there is a bitcoin society. What you call a bitcoin society is too vague a thing.

For me you were happy today and it hit you for writing this post but I don't see much sense in what you say.

I won't sell either. For me to sell, the price has to pass the previous ATH. I don't think I'll sell just when it gets to 20.000$ I'll wait of for a price a bit higher but not much. I plan to sell small amounts as the price goes up and that way I will always stay invested, having an equal or increasing fiat equivalent.

He is creating stupid threads. What he says here doesn't make sense: ¿Who would vote for passive income (given to you by your government)?

¿And who wouldn't?

He also equals passive income and universal income which are two completely different things.

Also, bitcoin in can give you passive income, as you point out, as any other investment, by appreciation of capital.

Another stupidity is the title: in this very forum you can find people who pay their bills thanks to bitcoin.

Because he thinks so. He doesn't give any argument to back his claims other than he thinks that and that's it. He must have a crystal ball so he sees things like that in it.

I'm glad you're enjoying poker. When I started I played quite a few freerols and low-cost tournaments, but over time I learned to play cash and now I hardly play tournaments anymore, as cash gives me regular benefits.

Also, I can't stand tourneys variance so much these days. like when you're about to reach the final table, you get AA, you see a whale pushing from UTG and he finally craks your aces with J8s after waiting for so long.

It is curious that most of them can be applied to the stock market, which reaffirms that crypto currencies (including bitcoin) are being used nowadays as high volatility assets to earn fiat money, and not so much as exchange currencies to acquire goods or services.

Yeah, well, good news but we need more companies that charge $1-$100 for goods or services to accept bitcoin directly (not through credit cards that convert bitcoin to fiat, bitrefill, etc).

I don't think we should. Points and miles are systems credit card companies created to rip people off. People on average spend way more money if you give them miles, points and cash back.  Credit card companies are not little sisters of charity, they give you points because they know they will have more profits.

Bitcoin should be different, it should not incentivize spending.

I think it will be adopted because of how different to fiat currencies is, so it should not try to copy them.
