1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you ever feel tired of waiting? on: October 16, 2023, 09:25:53 PM
To be honest, I've had this question for quite a while. I keep seeing people claiming to just hold and hold; it'll take one, two, three, or whatever years for the next bull market. However, I'm often wondering: do you ever feel tired of waiting for Bitcoin to thrive? The past few months, or the whole past year—I'm not sure I've lost track of time—have been quite stale. Bitcoin has been ranging between $25.000 and $28.000 for quite a while. The volatility compared to other periods is lower than we're used to, or at least, to what I was used to in the past.

I feel that there isn't too much excitement and this adrenaline feeling anymore; suddenly you'd see Bitcoin climb or crash; you'd be curious when it'd stop, what your next move would be, or simply feel accomplished seeing your money's value grow. Price movements are quite insignificant at this point compared to the huge pumps or dumps that occurred in 2020 or 2021.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against holding, nor am I getting frustrated, at least not yet; I did it in the past and regretted it, even though my only source of income is signature campaigns. It's just that sometimes you can't stop the thoughts from circling around your head. I generally didn't bother to even look at it's price, but I've recently started feeling a little wearied. Perhaps it has to do with the life-induced stress that I've discussed in a previous thread. Who knows? How do you cope with waiting?

No need to "wait for bitcoin to thrive", it's been thriving for years. Even though people may be sick of us being around $28k remember how big of a jump this is back in times when we were hovering around a couple hundred for years. Or back at the start when Bitcoin had no value. If you got in early you'd love the fact that bitcoin is $28k. So for the people that aren't in yet get in now and in a future bull run when Bitcoin is $1 million you'll be looking back at this and be thankful you got in while you had the chance. It could take years for another bull run or it could happen quick but either way I feel like it's a guarantee Bitcoin will continue to grow.
2  Other / Meta / Why did a mod delete my posts from 7-2 months ago that didn't violate any rules? on: October 16, 2023, 09:17:54 PM
I just got on my bitcointalk account and saw I had a bunch of messages saying a mod deleted my posts from 7-2 months ago. None of these posts look like they violate any rules so I thought it was odd. Is there any reason for this?
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is centralized, will it still have value ? on: August 13, 2023, 03:02:58 PM
If Bitcoin was launched as a centralized coin it would never have gotten as big as it has. It wouldn't have reached even $100 million market cap forget about $100 billion or $1 trillion. As a centralized coin it would have died years ago. The fact that Bitcoin is decentralized is what gives it its power and success.

However there are many groups today that are trying to centralize Bitcoin for their own evil reasons, but they'll fail and decentralization will win.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is the minimal transaction fee for 10$ usd or 1000$ usd? on: August 13, 2023, 02:59:18 PM
Transaction fee is dynamic, when there is barely any transactions happening the fee could only be 1 penny and when the network is super congested it could be $100. It really just depends on congestion of the network.

Like others said he lost his money trading not investing in Bitcoin. If he just bought and held he would do very well as long as he holds it for a good amount of time. Better yet hold it forever because soon things will be more commonly bought in crypto instead of fiat.

I see this thing is still going, has anyone solved any of the puzzles yet? Or has anyone made any type of progress? Can I get a TLDR of the events over the years from the start of the puzzle until now?
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I will never own a whole Bitcoin and that's okay on: April 23, 2023, 11:44:01 PM
Don't write yourself off, there are many ways to earn Bitcoin these days. Who knows maybe you earn that 1 Bitcoin quicker than you ever imagined and then you set your sights on joining the 1 in a million club and owning 21 Bitcoin.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What font is the B in the Bitcoin symbol? Not the lines just the B. on: April 15, 2023, 12:09:21 AM
But now I'm wondering if there's any verification that Phil Wilson was actually involved in the creation of the Bitcoin B logo. He also claims to be Satoshi or more specifically part of a group that he says is called Satoshi so that may put his claim of being involved in the creation of the logo in some doubt.
He claims to be the one who instructed bitboy for the logo layout and more, yet bitboy doesn't mentioned him or someone helping him on the thread he made for at least like a contribution to his work. Although what he mentioned in medium are all well-detailed but still i doubt until he shows proof of their conversation.

Yes the whole thing seems kind of odd, I reached out to him on reddit so I'll see what he says.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is there any verification that Phil Wilson aka "Scronty" made Bitcoin logo? on: April 14, 2023, 11:47:37 PM
Originally I was trying to find out what font was used in the solo "B" Bitcoin symbol/logo. Not the bitcoin logo with the word bitcoin spelled out just the logo/sign with the individual B. And not with the vertical lines through it I was just trying to figure out what font the basic letter B was in.

So anyway I kept searching and then I came across some articles that said this guy called Phil Wilson aka "Scronty" was the creator of every bitcoin logo and it led me down a rabbit hole. It is commonly believed that Satoshi created the first 2 logos and then someone called Bitboy came in and created the last orange Bitcoin logo that we use today. But Phil Wilson claims he was involved in the creation of the first 2 logos and then gave Bitboy the instructions and aided him in creating the orange Bitcoin logo we use today.

Bitcoin Magazine even states Phil Wilsons story as fact https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-history-and-symbolism-behind-bitcoins-logo and many other news sites do as well. (For those wondering it says the font of the Bitcoin "B" is Trebuchet font, that font looks like a match but if possible I'd like someone to make sure?) Phil Lawson also has a medium article here where he claims to be involved in the creation of the Bitcoin logo https://medium.com/@_Phil_Wilson_/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origins-5d428d40380 and he has a site where he claims the same http://vu.hn/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origin.html#the-symbol-workspace-with-images. The thing is on his website he claims to be Satoshi or more specifically part of a group that's called Satoshi. I don't believe he's Satoshi but is there any actual evidence that he was involved in the creation of the Bitcoin Logo? If anyone knows if there's any evidence backing up his logo claims please let me know because this is being stated in supposedly reputable news sites and I want to know if he actually had a part in making the Bitcoin logo.

Some in-depth information about Bitcoin logo stated that the B logo uses a trebuchet font

Quote
Font
The letter “B” is written with the Trebuchet font. Wilson admitted that he had always liked that word and how it was used in the “Microsoft Age of Empires” video game. On top of that, a sans serif font is an ideal solution for digital use.

@OP here is the link the deeply detailed the creation of the Bitcoin Logo : https://www.zenbusiness.com/blog/bitcoin-logo/#3 I hope you find it helpful.

Thanks for the reply. I asked this question on reddit as well and someone linked me to the article https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-history-and-symbolism-behind-bitcoins-logo which led me to Phil Wilsons medium article https://medium.com/@_Phil_Wilson_/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origins-5d428d40380 where he claimed he was involved with the creation of all the bitcoin symbol/logos or at least sending the instructions for how they should be created.

But now I'm wondering if there's any verification that Phil Wilson was actually involved in the creation of the Bitcoin B logo. He also claims to be Satoshi or more specifically part of a group that he says is called Satoshi so that may put his claim of being involved in the creation of the logo in some doubt.



I know that no regular font has a B with double vertical strikes, that's why in my OP I said "I'm not talking about the lines in the symbol just the B itself.

The "B" in the Bitcoin symbol is not a standard font (regardless of the vertical lines), as the symbol was designed specifically for the Bitcoin currency.

I agree a basic font was probably used and then the letter was edited and had the lines added to it. That's why I'm asking what specific font was used if anyone knows. My goal is to figure out what specific font they started with to type the B as the basis for the symbol/logo.

My best guess is that the designer used HelveticaNeue Bold as a starting point and then modified the symbol using a vector program, such as Adobe Illustrator, to achieve the final design we recognize today.


Since I started trying to find out what font was used I came across some person claiming to have involvement in the creation of the logo. I asked the question about the font on reddit and other sites as well and a lot of people link me to stuff from this guy called Phil Lawson who claims to have been involved in the creation of the logo. He also claims to be satoshi and he says Bitboy was working with him when the logo was created. He claims to have been involved in the creation of the first logos and then sent Bitboy instructions on how the modern orange Bitcoin logo should be created.

He says trebuchet font was used as the font for the B and or the font for the dollar sign lines on the B. It seems I'm going down a rabbit hole now  Cheesy bitcoin magazine posted an article saying he was involved in the creation of the logo https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-history-and-symbolism-behind-bitcoins-logo and he has his own medium article about the logo here http://vu.hn/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origin.html#the-symbol-workspace-with-images as well as his own website where he talks about how the logo was created http://vu.hn/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origin.html#the-symbol-workspace-with-images. On that website he also claims to be satoshi or more specifically part of a group that's called satoshi which created Bitcoin. It's really a bit much and I don't believe he's satoshi. But a lot of people are posting his info as a source on how the bitcoin logo was made so is there any verification Phil Wilson aka "Scronty" (his online username) created the Bitcoin logo or had any involvement in its creation?

no normal font has the B with double vertical strike through

it was made by using adobe photoshop as a image using probably a font like 'emboldened and widened clarendon' then added the vertical strikes

im not saying it is clarendon. im saying is a basic font like that, that was then photo edited

I know that no regular font has a B with double vertical strikes, that's why in my OP I said "I'm not talking about the lines in the symbol just the B itself.

The logo has been designed by the forum user bitboy and you can visit the following topic for more information about it.
Bitcoin Graphics in Vector Format (Illustrator)

For those interested, the font used here for Bitcoin is called Ubuntu. Which you can find out more over here -
http://font.ubuntu.com/

I'm already well versed on the history of the bitcoin logo and who created it. I'm asking specifically what font the B is in because I haven't seen that specified anywhere. I'm trying to find out what font the B used to make the logo is.

And the same B here:

I was wondering what the font used for the B in the Bitcoin symbol and logo is. I'm not talking about the lines in the symbol just the B itself. So what font is the B?



Going by your image I think I have read about some it is some what called the Ubuntu Bold Italic

unfortunately that's wrong. Ubuntu Bold Italic is the name of the font in the logo were the word bitcoin is spelled out. Ubuntu Bold Italic is the font used in that whole word. but Like I said I'm asking about the font in the Bitcoin B symbol/logo not the font in the word bitcoin spelled out. I'm asking specifically what's the font of the individual solo B in the bitcoin symbol and logo.

Also I'm not talking about the the logo where the bitcoin word is spelled out. I'm talking specifically about the solo B in the bitcoin symbol and logo.

I haven't seen the font used in the B discussed anywhere and lately I've really been wondering what specific font was used to create it. So if anyone knows the font of the B in the Bitcoin symbol/logo please let me know.
