There is actually a better time I would say. Yes, I agree that it’s best you do invest when you’ve got the money to buy just that fraction that would top your portfolio but even then, having to buy at a low presents the idea of having invested at a better time than buying when Bitcoin price is high.
So you are saying someone should wait till when Bitcoin comes down before he or she can purchase, what if it keeps going high so you will keep waiting for it to come down, Bitcoin will never come down to $5 even if it comes down the imagine will be so small and there is no chance of Bitcoin becoming very low anytime soon, if you keep waiting for it to come down before you can purchase you will always live in regret because when waiting for it to come down and it keeps going up you will always regret not buying earlier.
Perhaps you should re-read what you just read and you would get a better understanding of what is started there. Other than that, you’ll just be pushing me to saying the same thing over again, just rephrased.

Now, there isn’t any speculation that Bitcoin would ever drop to $5. Perhaps you heard that from some place else but, not me most certainly.
Also, Bitcoin can never keep going up. It’s a volatile currency and having price movements to be high some times and low at other times is the way of the market.

Now, while you might buy when you’ve got the funds for it (the DCA strategy), it would be lying to oneself to believe you don’t buy at a better price when you buy from a low, hence the principle of buying low and selling high.

Understandably, certain strategies comes with certain advantages which makes it more preferable to the other due to individual investors. Which ever one you choose is entirely okay for you so long as you get to build your portfolio in the end but, you don’t become unrealistic in what you would get as the currency goes through its price action.
2  Economy / Speculation / Re: Falseful speculations about bitcoin predictions and its halving on: May 12, 2024, 08:14:55 PM
While I was yet to be convinced that truly the halving has come and gone, I'm still right in the coin market cap which I'm still not convinced to say yeah, the halving has truly come and gone because the bitcoin price is fluctuating and had even depreciated in values more less than the actual price which the speculations insighted that we've been encountered with the expected halving I can remember that the price buttressed at $62,000 plus thenband climbed to $66,000 plus but while I am creating this thread the price has as much depreciated even below the price speculation of $62,000 that previously we've made away with the halving.

Literally I don't expect a quick surge of the bitcoin bull run as some individual conscience maybe.
My concern is that what would be the emotions of those Investors who speculated the halving rumours to had come and gone, are they feeling sentimental already to say that another halving has come just about last week we experienced the nomenclature of the expected halving?
There is a reason why the most that could be attempted is some wide speculation, it doesn’t mean it gets to play out as speculated but, there would come a time when the market would respond to certain elements that would turn out to be market movers.

Those to whom have attached their feelings to Bitcoin market and the bullrun are those who are in it just to take profit and leave. This is really wrong and an unhealthy habit towards the Bitcoin innovation. People or investors can’t really be about the revolutionary technology just to take profit and leave, only to come back some time in the future with same intent. For these people, Bitcoin is a honey pot and that’s some bad idea.

For this reason, results of the halving not being immediate and taking time to form is some of the best workings of the market. It drives every investor towards researches on ideas that wouldn’t be sentimental but, awareness of what goes on in the market and new ways to take advantage of it that wouldn’t see the market for a honey pot and in turn, promote long term investing.

No time is more better to start accumulating Bitcoin I'm always of the opinion that when ever you think you have the finance to invest on Bitcoin you do it without thinking of a good time because there's no good time in investing on Bitcoin.
There is actually a better time I would say. Yes, I agree that it’s best you do invest when you’ve got the money to buy just that fraction that would top your portfolio but even then, having to buy at a low presents the idea of having invested at a better time than buying when Bitcoin price is high.
The advantage of buying when you have money enough for it is because, it serves as a cutting edge across every element that could lead to procrastination and eventually, you not getting to buy at all.

Now, it’s really bad that you try yo place a timing on what you can not accurately speculate on. It’s the first step towards not having to buy at all because, you just can’t speculate and in the event that you could manage decide on an entry, you can’t be always sure of an abundance of resources to buy as at time due.

This is where the DCA strategy comes handy and could save you a lot of stress on having to speculate or amass funds for the purpose.

I will also like to say this Bitcoin investment is a long time investment and when going into it you should be prepared hodling it for long term even as a trader you need to hodl for long.
You can't compare those that has been hodling bitcoin for 10 years now without selling to those that sold out 6 years ago, in other to make it big in Bitcoin you need to plan on hodling for long term even when you are accumulating keep accumulating till you feel you need to stop and just hodl.
Some persons have stated that newbie investors should be more short term while experienced investors be more long term. While this might sound better if reversed, I hate to agree with either even. You don’t need a short term timing on Bitcoin investments, the longer the better. Today’s price proves that!

This is an interesting discussion to have, but I doubt there are any reliable frameworks to come up with a "true and fair" value. At the end of the day, it only needs one freakish investor down the line who wants that piece of paper from you and is willing to pay 3 times the price. I am sure that most of us here have been shocked at times reading how much people are willing to pay for the weirdest items. One example: First-generation iPhone sells at auction for $190,373, or nearly 380 times its original price

If I had ever thought that this would one day be possible, I'd have stocked up on those iPhones. I believe this things like the paper you mentioned can indeed have value. But how much? I stopped being shocked about collectible items or historical papers and how much they can make you in an auction. To anticipate values is so difficult because as a response some people will collect some electronics out of principle just to realize that those items will never be as valuable as this aforementioned iPhone generation.
You don’t need to on this one.
I just jumped on eBay to see if I could find the item, first generation iPhones and it was right there, offered for sales by some vendors. Some still comes with a price ranged $80-400 but others was in the range of $1.5k and below. I guess these are the once that have heard the news on what it’s going for in auctions and decided to up the price while, the once with lower prices either haven’t heard the news or are replicas.

I’ve got reasons to think that the one that sold for an insane price as stated in the auction could be the prototype but, shouldn’t that be an Apple’s priceless item, well that’s the point, owning the supposedly priceless item but, it doesn’t mean much either. I would still be seeing just how much I spent to get that thing should it not be giving me some return on investment.

By some means, it’s a matter of getting these things to the auction house, have a baked story for it and yeah, it’s got to be original, then your sure some dude with just enough dollar to not have needs for it would pick it up as his or her collection.
5  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What to know of Nodes and Running a Node on: May 12, 2024, 12:55:18 PM
That's quite a broader explanation about node, but in layman sense, i still think phone is a perfect example of node funtionality, as phone keeps all your call records and also messages, so also the node, though, node is wide as it processes global data, so therefore, its definitely going to require larger memory disk than phone.
No mate, I don’t think this applies the same way. I understand this is an attempt to make inferences with what is more common to the uncommon but, phone call records gets wiped out after some time and nodes don’t.
Also, nodes have replicas on other nodes as this is an interconnection to create a chain link which ensures security to the entire network and its integrity too, coupled with the data stored on it but, when we relate this to phone call records, it’s not the case, the records are unique to the device and possibly the network provider.
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: May 09, 2024, 06:49:53 AM

The main problem in early stages will be

A lot of people knowing each other driving the price of a few specific items and creating higher prices for them… then a unknowing person buying at a to high price for a worthless piece being stuck to it… but yeah DYOR and buy what you deem worthy I guess
Actually, this is the only scheme, and not only a lot of people knowing each other, but often just only one person, acting with different wallets.
Market rigging at its bests, like good old times in traditional markets.
This does works and the target can be completely clueless on what’s been done. That’s why auctions could be a madman’s den at times. Insane prices could go for just any piece from a famous dead guy who wasn’t very good in art or have an item featured in a famous battle or been to certain places.

Then the collectioneur at heart... just collecting things they really appreciate and by buying giving things a value... Could be discussed, but by bidding and buying they set a standard for certain objects ... This also makes other pieces more valuable. Some people collecting stuff really appreciate it and they are happy with owning it and owning piece of that history. It's charming some people just are so interested that they wanna hold such specific things...
More and more searches are lunched to getting these antiques, get it dated and there it goes with the price for collectors to pick it up. You wonder why they don’t keep ot for themselves or have it as a national treasure, which goes for some antiques and the nation of origin.

Well, am not a collector so I wouldn’t know, don’t see how am supposed to be amused with having this 16BTC in an item hanging somewhere if I don’t get to make money off it although, some of these could serve a means to preserve wealth and that’s only if you can be able to resale if need arises.

Either way, collections and collectors of stuff is another level of insanity, you really don’t get it if your not into that kind of stuff. I mean, trying to wrap my head around it alone tells me, I can’t find any reason and that’s just to say, you ain’t in that level to this yet. I hope I don’t be!

My apologies if this may be causing any form of inconvenience or if it is breaking any rules...
Any yes, you're right that this is either caused by a mistake or an error in my browser network. Sometimes I submit a reply and the browser network takes time to load this content and sometimea it is successful without indicating and sometimes it's unsuccessful, so I'll need to send it again for the second time, Hence the repetition and I find it impossible to delete the other one. I'd really like you to tell me what I can do in cases like this to avoid the repetition cos I obviously can't leave a blank page nor delete the post. If there was another way, I honestly do not know as I'm still relatively new and trying to navigate my way around this forum. So please, why don't you help me out.
Impossible is a strong word
I would say strenuous
It does happen to me sometimes
Something similar and it usually arises when the network is bwd
You can send a reply and it wouldn't show it's been sent
What I do is to copy my reply, refresh the page and see if it has been sent
If it has I move on
If not?  I resend it and it's not impossible to delete just click on delete and make sure your network is strong
I would advice switching to a stronger network provider
It would help in mitigating this.
In summary, cross check before resending and do well to delete duplicates
It wouldn't be a good thing to be reported to the moderators for same thing. Hopefully this helps.
Yes, the most probable thing to do at Ambatman. Having to copy and refresh the page so you could see if your post had gone through or not.

All of these though requires network and very strong or strong enough is something you wouldn’t want to wait on. Even while the network don’t seem strong enough, you’ll still just want to upload in events where a refreshed page doesn’t come with your post.

When I have these network glitches, what I usually do is just to turn on airplane mode and after a while, let’s say 5seconds, I turn it back up. Basically play with the host icon and in most cases it works.

I haven’t had to delete a post before but, i doubt the buttons wouldn’t work.
I have seen some forum users just write (delete) in some cases, could have considered this a spam but, I think it’s some probable case where there the delete function wasn’t easily applicable.



there are various levels of poor people, but yeah, there can be poor people with very little discretionary income and they would be less poor than the guy who has absolutely no discretionary income and is struggling in other ways with basics of life such as food and shelter... .. and we do likely know that there are a quite a few people who are not able to save and/or invest.. so yeah, if they cannot somehow increase their income, then they would not be in a position to buy bitcoin.
This is so true, it goes to agree with an uncommon statement that, the position or condition you might be in today and be condemning it and yourself, it’s someone else’s wishes!
You might be there pondering how you ain’t doing okay, how you don’t have just a roof on your head and nothing else, how you’ve got just 2 pairs of trousers and is able to switch between them both but, it’s a prized state and wished upon by the person who has got no roof on his head or just one trouser. That’s just how the world is!

So yeah, I agree with you when you say, if they can’t somehow increase their income, buying Bitcoin could be off the book for them. There are those like that for real and most times, they are completely ignorant of these asx who would tell them, how will they research about these things even after seeing it on a billboard or have it flashed on some screen as they go about there daily lives.
Most of these guys don’t even have the money to get the needed gadget which could be as little as a smartphone before you start telling them to get hardware wallets and some safe to keep them. They really don’t get the chance but would if they are able to try. It’s not like anyone likes to be poor or just don’t give wealth accumulation an attempt but, it’s just life and how the society has been designed.

Why not? RingCT in Monero wasn't a thing back in 2016, and it got implemented in January 2017. XMR amounts hidden, boom. More privacy gained. Bitcoin could have optional privacy with softforking to confidential transactions and ring signatures. It's just that we want it to enter the system like a trojan horse, therefore we can't risk with stuff like that.
Like a Trojan horse obviously what the rest of us expect as any addition seems to be unnecessary and users become skeptical about additions to the network as soft forks, which is seen to have no value as things will always return to normalcy with time based in on-going activities.

It won't solve anything for the same reason people are still using P2PKH/P2Sh addresses even though we added SegWit many years ago and it offers a lot of benefits.
An opt-in option is not going to help much with privacy specially in a world where centralized places are rejecting CoinJoin transactions (opt-in) they can reject the said opt-in privacy feature too hence forcing its adoption to remain low which means it won't solve anything.
While it doesn’t solve much, if their is a chance that it could help provide more options, then it could have been something what trying but, as complicated as humans would be especially given the adoption of innovations and policies, most times it’s best to live things as it is and have people build a behavioral pattern about it’s nature and usage.

Narcos.Exchange

What a choice of name! Sounds more like an exchange for narcotics. Don't you think you are going to have LE riled up from the word go?  Cheesy
Out of curiosity, what inspired you to choose such a name?
It hit me once I saw it and am like wow! Why such?
Is it some means to attract attention to the exchange, perhaps some means of telling the narcotics out there that, hey, here is a place for you to conduct your activities and be safe. Or perhaps it’s one way to ensure the exchange pops up when someone uses Google search for just anything narcos related.

I’ll also like to say with this attention seeking strategy if be it, you would as well be inviting the government into looking up your activities. Crypto services with even a better name have gone to court for just doing there services, your name already raises an eyebrow and calls for stigmatization and that makes it a risky association or having to do business with you guys OP.

It’s your choice still but, it also comes with all the attributes of narcos and narcotics (stigmatization).
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 05, 2024, 10:20:40 AM
I doubt that we should be measuring our BTC investment in short time frames, and surely if we measure in 4 year or longer time frames, then we likely are going to be doing quite well, even right now.

Let me take a couple of shorter time frames and let's see where we might be, even if we started investing $100 per week in BTC at various high price points in 2021.

Example 1: Started buying $100 per week at the beginning of the year right before the first 2021 price peak.  We would have had invested $17,500, and we would have about 0.5386 BTC (currently worth about $33,833) (so nearly 100% in profits... or nearly doubled in value.


Example 2: Starting in October 2021 - right before the second peak in the BTC price. The guy buying $100 per week would have had invested $13,600, and we would have about 0.4489 BTC (currently worth about $28,218) (so a little more than 100% in profits... or more than doubled in value.

Those first two examples are not quite right, even thought the first guy has more BTC than the second one.. so usually the longer that you are buying BTC then the more likely you would be in higher levels of profits..

Let's try another example (Example 3) of a person who has been buying $100 per week for the last 4 years, so that would take us back to May 2020...  He would have had invested $20,900 and accumulated 0.8405 BTC (currently worth about $52,909) (so about 150% in profits...

Let's try another example (Example 4) of a person who has been buying $100 per week the last 7 years, so that would take us back to May 2017.. back before the 2017 run up...  He would have had invested $36,600 and accumulated 3.689 BTC (currently worth about $232,300) (so about 535% in profits...

So there is a kind of tendency that the longer that you invest, then the more likely you are going have created more options for yourself, as long as you mostly accumulate and protect your stash from getting taken from you... maybe privately storing it.

We can likely see it in our BTC portfolio with the passage of time, so no one would have to tell us; however, surely in the first 4 years or so, it might not be so clear regarding the amount of profits, so sometimes it can take a while to see that the bitcoin investment had given more options by investing into it as compared to not having had invested into it (or perhaps choosing to invest your money in other places).
I haven’t had the opportunity to hold Bitcoin for a year since I only just joined started building my portfolio this year but, am not looking to hold for a short time, nope, not by any chance.

Available testimonials on various levels (both the negative and positive) have proven that, Bitcoin shouldn’t even have a timing to it and I’ll tell you why am saying that.

Those who bought Bitcoin back then in 2010 through 2014 and later got to sell it. Even though they might have sold on profit and have reasons to be happy about the price they sold, some of those guys still gets to look at the price on the chart today and wish they had held on. It even gets worst for those who used it to pay for some product or service and later come to realize just how many of those product the said amount could buy in recent times.
Hence, having to sell in today would still have that same effect as per those who sold in the time past when the future year becomes a prevailing reality.

One thing is for sure though, situations do push people to doing that which they would have hoped to avoid but, never sell because you feel you’ve hold enough and should be taking profit. Also, accumulations shouldn’t stop, i think it should be a save guarding your future approach towards it and you don’t do that at once, you continue to buy through your existence. Let your buying enrich your portfolio and let the market price appreciate your efforts in Bitcoin price.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: May 05, 2024, 10:06:16 AM
To say the least, am impressed at how y’all have made a challenge out of the 100k challenge and still sees the need to keep up with the exercise as well as the trend. You might not know but, your motivating a whole lot of others to engage in some gainful exercise as well as building not just your body but a strong will towards taking a decision and sticking to it as well.

One might underestimate exercise but, this is where you learn a great deal of discipline as it ain’t easy, to wake early in the morning, put your body through the pain that brings the gain and do the work or even so, retire in the evening after a stressed day and still get to put yourself through a session of exercise. It’s a thing for the determined and your strong will is making it happen.

The chart is impressive, the numbers motivating and congratulations to a lot of you attaining what in a month ago you would have filled impossible or not a thing to you. The good news is, as at today, your doing the unbelievable numbers and getting good at it.

A conscious note on the sideline though, don’t forget to buy Bitcoin using whatever strategy that suits you when opportune, while you do the challenge.
13  Other / Meta / Re: SUGGESTION FOR OUR FORUM on: May 05, 2024, 09:49:57 AM
Admin/Mod of this Forum. I would suggest you to make a sub forum that Can create topic titled " AIRDROP & TESTNET ".

We know that many peoples need Tutorial about Testnet and Airdrops. There are so many Airdrops especially that I want to share to peoples, and I will help them to support the way to do the tasks of the Airdrop.
While some things might not fit specifically in some places, they do fit when you look at it in a broader sense. The forum wouldn’t need an addition to every development that occurs in the industry, that would create a different twist to it which could turn to vulnerability in time.

Airdrops are one means of compromise. You might have the best intention but, you wouldn’t be the only respondent and neither is yours even trusted. When your not on the team, you can be down played even when your being very smart with your observations. It’s always a test and trier with these things and as it’s always been, not all the projects out there attain success so, having to promise it for your guidance doesn’t mean nothing.

Another crazy collectible

What do we think?

Can this ever be sold for more

So many sats for just 1
It’s the rubbish I’ve been trying to contend with over the past week since I heard about ordinals. Just how did this mathematics came to be, where
1sat would be equivalent to a Bitcoin. I mean, where do we start this reverse psychology.

1Bitcoin is supposedly equivalent to 381825124.09316530 Satoshi (Value determined by 3Commas online Bitcoin calculator).
Mathematically:
1 BTC = 381825124.09316530 Sat.

Now, due to some ordinals we get the reverse psychology where:
33.3 BTC = 1sat that is:
12714776632.30240449 Sat = 1Sat.

All due to position and your just a collector. What sort of rubbish is that!
That’s some just how insanely humans could act. I ain’t collecting nothing for that.

1sat = 1 sat
Just as
1BTC = 1 BTC.

This maths applies anywhere, all I know.

user-friendlyness is the way to go

many protocol level stuff and wallet level stuff have been subjugated for the tech elites. they create silly buzzwords that average joe never heard of and made to sound complicated and then made complicated to try to make it seem that you need to be a pro to use it

things need to be brought down to a ELI-5 (explain like im 5)
I just wanted to capture the ELI-5, which is entirely new to me and I like the idea it portrays but, I choose to let some as above statement go with it.

I understand that every field have got its terminologies and it’s easier to speak that way but for easy understanding but, you might be only speaking to very few individuals who follow through on these terminologies and living a whole lot in awe!

That’s what’s really become of the rest of this forum when met with technical discussions and as such, directly become unproductive as per the ideas they could give. No doubt there is room to learn and of course a lot of users do try but, being more accumulative with how these terms by not using another term to explain another and so on would aid users understanding and follow up on a discussion.


I think one of the major problem and some of the reason it has have a major shift from being used for an everyday currency is the issue of fees. If this is settled, people would be pushed to use Bitcoin remotely and come ease to usage comes ease to adoption. No one wants to have there transaction delayed, pay more on fees over a few dollar worth transaction or have a transaction cancelled after supposedly have closed a deal on trust.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: May 03, 2024, 11:53:54 AM
Good morning everyone.

I think is time for me to start summiting my push ups report every morning because for a while now I have not done my push ups challenge, but yesterday I started with 28 push ups in the morning and 28 in the evening that's 56 and it didn't affect me while I was sleeping yesterday because I come to realize that we should always do push ups according to how our body strength can carry, because when you do something above your strength it's going to affect you in one way or another. And this morning I increase it to 30 push ups and i rested for 20 minutes and do another 30 push ups that's 60 and yesterday 56 Total 116 I will continue pushing while Bitcoin reaching $100k challenge.
If you are into the reporting, I think you should follow the report formates as used by other users above so you could be profiled easily as applies.

I think the format as I read it here is,
100k Challenge | Forum Username | Number of Push-ups | Sum Of Push-ups | Date.

Your narrative might follow or precede this but, this way, you wouldn’t have to clog your whole write up. I don’t generally use that format myself but, it’s the most popular and you wouldn’t have to recap on all or consecutive days as you’ve done.

Mean while, don’t forget, no pain, no gain. Perhaps you did sleep comfortably, your body needs to realize you did some work. I think basically my shoulder does feel heavier and it hurts a little when I try to get my back scrub while having my bath. That’s basically it so, you ought to feel it somehow to know your gaining.



My rounds this morning was,
65 inclined wide arm push-ups. Had 5minutes rest time
50 inclined Narrow push-ups. Had 7minutes rest.
25 inclined diamond push ups in roughly 47seconds. Took an exhaustive rest after this and

Did some 60 jumping jacks and that was it. No more till tomorrow perhaps.

True. The big question is: what should be the new consensus rules of testnet4?
While new systems to these might be better than previous, there isn’t any certainty that they wouldn’t come with some vulnerabilities of their own.
Wouldn’t the more probable thing to do would be to improve on the existing system as per an improved version to it without coming up with an entirely different system all together?

I suppose the reasons for attacks and some of the hacking is often about discovering vulnerabilities or loopholes within a system and have it fixed. Rather than having to continue the same circle over and over again on new models or systems to these networks.

I am not against of anyone attacking each others but let it be a way that everyone including the newbie has some little air space to breath than in every single discussion you would see those who calls themselves overall rank would come attack, either by saying your post doesn't belong here and there, low quality post, lack of English, poor English, etc. okay, must everyone be a graduate as you are? No

Correct without hate words, learn without getting offense and speak with love. By so doing everyone would be welcomed to the community!

I am a beginner myself and haven’t had some of these energies or been attacked for asking questions either in my responses or a thread I created. In fact, I can speculate that not everyone here in this forum are graduates or have some degree form college and not everyone here are native English speakers but still, we are all here trying to share ideas. That’s what is really important, sharing ideas and in doing so, you really can’t decide on how certain words would be dished out.

I see what reasons you’ve outlined in OP to have been examples of how these attacks are presented and there isn’t anything wrong with being told your post isn’t in the right place, don’t belong, is of low quality or constitutes a poorly formed English. Let’s not forget that the most we do here is read and we could decide to read and see the positive in some of these or just get enraged because our views weren’t welcomed in all its wholesomeness.

There is nowhere that is stated that everyone must be a graduate to be knowledgeable. Knowledge isn’t only gotten from attending college and the four walls of the college isn’t closed from anyone. If you’ve got resources enough to attend, then you do so. There are even those that have got these resources and still choose not to. In all, there is room for self development and getting offended if you aren’t corrected in the tune that might be pleasing to you is one means to stray from the part of taking that correction.
You might be like, okay, this guy wasn’t nice and so am not taking his words for shit but, that’s really you shitting yourself.

I try to understand approaches, I know it’s importance but, don’t get carried away by wanting everyone to please you, we aren’t the same, have different training and cultural backgrounds. We just keep learning from each other and mange ourselves in the process.

I don't agree with this statement now that I know better about Bitcoin. It is more or less fud in a soft tone. Who will deliberately invest his money to lose it? If I know I will lose my money in any investment, I will not call it investment and I will not be committed to such venture. I use the DCA method and do it consistently,  I won't spend all that time and money on something I know will disappear and all my money gone.
It would be ultimately terrible that someone would see an end loss result for an investment and still proceed to taking such investment. It’s either such a person is insane or out of his mind which still shouts insanity.

There is a big difference between entertaining the possibility of a loss and having loss for an end result.
When you talk about possibility of a loss, it simply means you could also make profit and this prepares you for any likely scenario as well as, pushes you to make necessary adjustments to ensure you stay profitable.
While, loss is just loosing and no one in their right sense would want that.

You might not be able to control what happens with Bitcoin but your actions to it is what you could control to stay profitable. It’s well known that Bitcoin is volatile, it’s left for you to use that in your favour.
What you need to learn is patience and have the right mindset when the market seems to go against you. Work within principles of buy low and sell high.
When the market goes bearish, rather than panic, you proceed to buying more Bitcoin and when
It’s high, you could either sell a minor portion of your portfolio but, that’s in obvious cases when you need money and have no other source to turn to or you just continue holding.

The risk really is you as a holder and the actions you take at certain points of the market.

It is not a zero chance that bitcoin would either go to zero or some other variation of going down from here rather than going up, so if bitcoin were to continue to spiral downwardly without ever recovering and if you were to keep buying bitcoin and it never recovers, then surely in those kinds of circumstances you would end up losing, and even if they might be low probable outcomes, those are not zero possibility outcomes
Looking at persisting circumstances, the likely possibility that these could ever be the case have got no significance. Hence, it doesn’t really have a base to be a very considered option in taking Bitcoin investment. As we have the negative news that seems to influence user’s decision, so also do we have the positive and all that is reflected in the market movements by investors.

The problem with  BTC and other currencies will be that you will no take any $$ - > banks are already starting to refuse transactions.

after 2025 BTC , ETH and so on will be worth real 0.
How so? First of all, think outside the box: you can earn and spend Bitcoin directly, without touching a bank. That was actually its main idea.
Furthermore: you can definitely buy and sell Bitcoin peer-to-peer - again: how it was intended. Peer-to-peer electronic cash.
Sometimes I wonder, just how anonymous can developers really be in recent times. Most sites privacy site claims not to have a backlog or have these data sets deleted after a period of time but, they get dragged by the law and a few come out with supposedly deleted or none existent data.
Given that not all the services on the web are privacy concerned or respected, some hosting services require some registrations and payments through certain linked medias,
How are developers still able to archive privacy and how do they really hedge against authorities if they really do.

I think Satoshi Nakamoto remains a figure that was able to avoid this given that it was a new and not well thought about innovation on the part of the government and measures that are in place today where non existent a decade ago as, it posed little to no challenge to the status quo then but, it’s a march now and every side is trying to get the best of it.

the proactiveness and futuristic approach of the pioneer Satoshi Nakamoto might have been the very thing that have saved Bitcoin and it remains the reason why it’s number one and why I don’t measure it up or would rather do Bitcoin than the minions of alternatives out there.
