Hoje na minha leitura diária de portais de notícias sobre o mundo das criptomoedas, me deparo com esta reportagem. Achei que os "especialistas" iriam explicar se pode ou não pode usar o Bitcoin como forma de pagamento nas casas de apostas. No final, percebo que o repórter entrevistou apenas 1 especialista e o mesmo não afirmou nem que sim, nem que não, se pode ser usado o Bitcoin nas casas de apostas. Assim fica difícil de entender. Materia bem confusa. Ela consegue ser pior que a lei que foi criada.

Estou querendo começar uma coleção de moedas físicas de Bitcoin, algumas bem baratinhas.. tem umas bem bonitas lá na aba Collectibles..

Mas estou com uma dúvida, serei taxado pelo nosso querido governo?

Se eu comprar uma moedinha de R$ 100, pagarei uns R$ 100 de imposto? alguém sabe como funciona?

Estou perguntando porque hoje vi uma notícia de um cara que pagou R$ 31 de imposto por um produto de 3 reais, fonte: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mercado/2023/09/e-veridica-nota-fiscal-com-imposto-de-r-3145-sobre-produto-de-r-315.shtml

Aproveitando, também queria saber quanto custa o envio dos EUA/Europa para o Brasil para esses itens pequenos. Estava até pensando em deixá-las com alguém lá fora até juntar algumas e então pagar um frete só.

What mistakes did you make, and what advice do you have for others to be careful?

What are the best and worst ways of storing a seed in your opinion?

The potential downsides, like institutional control and market manipulation, are real concerns. But let's not forget, isn't the current crypto landscape already a playground for whales, manipulating prices with their immense buying power? Whether it's traditional or crypto whales, manipulation exists.

However, the ETF's silver lining is undeniable: increased awareness and adoption. More people exposed to Bitcoin means a wider understanding of its potential, both as an investment and a technology. This could trigger a wave of adoption, bringing legitimacy and stability to the crypto space as a whole.

You welling on "what ifs" won't change the tide. We need to adapt, not resist. The world is evolving, and finance is no exception. Bitcoin, with its disruptive potential, is a force we can't ignore. Embracing the ETF, with all its complexities, might be the key to navigating the future of finance, not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.

Hoje estava lendo um grande portal de notícias e me deparo com essa reportagem: 'Queremos ser taxados': grupo de 250 super-ricos pede para pagar mais impostos. É interessante. Eles pedem isso por causa do aumento da desigualdade social que ocorreu nos últimos anos. Eles já perceberam que algo precisa ser feito.
Eles dizem no manifesto: "a desigualdade atingiu um ponto de inflexão, e os custos dos riscos à nossa estabilidade econômica, social e ecológica são graves, e aumentam a cada dia. Em suma, precisamos de ação já". Interessante, bem interessante.

Hoje percebi que falamos bastante sobre a questão do Bitcoin vs moedas fiduciárias em termos de impressão de dinheiro/supply. Mas não lembro de ter lido muitas discussões em relação aos projetos cujo supply é MENOR do que o do Bitcoin.

Hoje descobri que são poucos, mas existem.

- Maker: max supply 1M
-Quant: 14 M
-Aave: 16 M

Depois, com supply igual ao BTC temos o BitcoinCash e o ORDI.

Acho que é uma métrica bem interessante pra considerar.

It been a big challenge in most country since the fuel subsidy and bad economy some country  are facing.A lot of people find it difficult to feed themselves and families, Now it Christmas season alot of people don’t have transport to go their various stats due to the high cost of transportation,  bad road and insecurities in some nation, some many lose intrest. As a good country the government should have free bus for less privileged to travel home for season like this.that why cryptocurrency should be taught free to individual with serious mind, with the rate of overpopulation and poverty in the country it something everyone or most people suppose to learn because the world is going digital and our currency is not appreciating compared to other currencies and the value is so low.that why am suggesting that Bitcoin and altcoin should be taught free of charge and the knowledge should be pass to the younger ones since they are the leader of tomorrow let see how it can reduce the rate of poverty or eradicate poverty entirely in every Nation. The world is suffering and Bitcoin should be introduced in every nation and should be freely

Glancing through the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-rent-agreement-argentina-landlord-tenant one would conclude adoption is striving in Argentina. Paying for a house with bitcoin sounds to me a mistake or lack of financial knowledge. Bitcoin is better than Fiat. Bitcoin increases in value and fiat faces inflation. Why then would one spend Bitcoin instead of fiat on a house rent which may expire in few years? Accommodating the Bitcoin can birth the person more money to pay his next house rent. But fiat wouldn't add any interest in the bank. Moreover the house owner will not hold the Bitcoin.

I don't know which country you live in and what the prices are there but in general with this small amount you cannot buy a lot of gold or land so it would be better if you could convince your parents to invest in Bitcoin instead.

Buying a small amount of $200-300 per month is not a large amount, but it will give you some good profits in the long run. You may get 3-4 times that when Bitcoin rises to a new peak.

It is difficult to convince parents of this new technology, but you have to make your effort and try.

The months leading up to the Bitcoin halving is when Bitcoin prices is at it's lowest.

Anyone new to Bitcoin needs to buy from now until the halving. Bitcoin prices always go up after the halving from 2016, 2020 and now 2024.

Unfortunately, most people will only buy during the Bitcoin bull run hype during 2025 when the prices are at an all time high. Which is the worst time to buy Bitcoin.

Anyone that is reading this now during the halving year. You're one of the smart investors and understands Bitcoin's history. Buy when it's low. Hold when it's high. Sell at the top.

My trust in Bitcoin grew exponentially when I knew the price history of Bitcoin.
Besides other things, history is one main thing used in technical analysis. You can't analyze a market if you don't know the history of that market. History helps you determine how that market behaves at different points in time.

Bitcoin price history is necessary for all Bitcoiners, but to be a successful holder you have to understand the price history of Bitcoin.
This will help you understand the volatility of Bitcoin.
When you know the price history of Bitcoin you will understand that there is nothing new about the fall and rise of price. Also, the history will let you know that the price always goes back up after a fall and that should help you in your effort to hold Bitcoin.

When you read about the price history you'll see years like 2017 where Bitcoin peaked at just over $19000 from a thousand dollars. The volatility of Bitcoin goes both ways and you can only hold on to your Bitcoin when you know these things.

This is a graph of Bitcoin price in 2014 by Statmuse

In 2014, Bitcoin went from about a thousand dollars to under $200 and finally ended the year at just over $300. This kind of knowledge helps you keep the faith as a Bitcoin holder when the price dips.

Human are desperate when it comes to getting what they want. The hack of Gary Gensley x account must be from one of those institutions that wants to trade bitcoin because they have already stashed up their bags believing that today SEC will approve bitcoin ETF. This was why they had to do the hack to give false news to the public, so that within that period, the price of bitcoin will soar. Unfortunately for the hackers, not quite long that the rumor was in the air, was when Gary Gensley cleared the air that his x account was hacked. This means that no one is safe from these hackers if they mean to hack into any of your account, this is why we should be careful with our security when using the internet. I don't care about the approval of bitcoin ETF because it will be an attack on financial freedom.

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency It is very difficult to say whether such coins like Bitcoin will be discovery in the future. But in my opinion such coins will not be another discovery.

What is yours opinions?

So queria expressar com meus companheiros aqui do forum minha felicidade, nosso dia esta chegando.. aceitacao mundial do bitcoin esta cada vez mais perto.. ETF vai ser aprovado essa semana !!!!!

HODL ! 

Bitcoin Adoption: Number of Merchants Accepting BTC Payments Surged by 174% in 2023

Regulations are claimed to be helping to increase Bitcoin adoption by businesses as payment method around the world. Is this for real, or are regulations just forcing such businesses to officially accept Bitcoin, although they could be already accepting it informally before the approval of such regulations?

Despite the raised percentage being really expressive (174%), it doesn't translate in great numbers when we conclude there are only 9926 businesses accepting Bitcoin as payment method in the world.

In your opinion, why do you think more businesses accepting Bitcoin as payment method are concentrated in American and European continents?

Cryptocurrency is slowly taking over the world and some hotels are now accepting Bitcoin as means of payment and Bulgaria as a country owns the highest Bitcoin as a country.
Around 2018 a friend of mine bought some unit of Bitcoin equivalent to $1,000 and also advise me to do same but I refused and was skeptical about it because I was of the notion that "what is really moving is coin of a currency" fast-forward 4 years later my friends share or unit of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $10,000 and I was at thr losing end just to be left with the thought of had I know.
When Bitcoin first broke out there was a man Laszlo who exchanged $10,000 worth of Bitcoin for two Papa John's Pizza from Jeremy but fast-forward to today Jeremy can purchase a million pack of pizza worth $10000 and still have more BTC left for him .
Nevertheless me falling short of the first opportunity of buying Bitcoin I'm still hoping of an opportunity to present it self so I can get the little bit of Bitcoin to my custody and I also advise both my friends and enemies to buy as much cryptocurrency they can because cryptocurrency is the currency of the future.

Na continuação da serie "E se...", visto que no primeiro a malta ficou com medo/vergonha... vamos a um segundo. 

Nas ultimas semanas, tem surgido casos em que alguém por "engano" paga taxas super altas para realizar uma transação, e depois as pools tem adotado uma postura colaborativa e devolvido esses valores absurdos de taxas.

Agora imagina que alguém por engano envia 1BTC para um dos teus endereços.
O que fazias?

Devolvias?
Esperavas que alguém fizesse alguma solicitação publica, e depois tomavas uma decisão? 
Ou na primeira oportunidade passavas por um mix para se perder o rasto ao bitcoin?   

Nota ninguém sabe que foi para ti, e tu só sabes quem foi se a pessoa revelar publicamente o engano.

I want to buy some, I Seems to be almost sold out. Already sold for $4,626,720.67 ($5,059,485 is the maxnum amount).
Let's talk about this.

It is not too late. Your DCA strategy will depend on the amount of money you are earning and the period of time you are given. If you earn weekly, you should DCA weekly. If you earn money, you should DCA monthly.

The transaction fee is high right now, you can use lightning network.  Many exchanges are having lightning network and you can use it with a lightning network wallet.

If the amount has grown, then send it to a noncustodial wallet.

But you can use side chain instead. They are altcoins but they have low fee. Just until the time the network is not having high fee like this.
