You don't actually need to go to mars.. every X years we find new gold. People say "oh we are near exceeding earth's gold supply capacity", then we eventually find more and more gold... Bitcoin is the only thing that is exciting enough to invest long term knowing you can become really rich from it because it's not properly valued and understood by the masses yet. Gold is a boring asset to hold.

I think AdSense is what pays better. If you don't use AdSense, you need a lot more traffic to get a similar result. My problem with AdSense is they are total jerks about the TOS and if you break it it's over. Sometimes you are breaking it and don't even know you are infringing some stupid copyright law.

Yep the replacements will be absolute closed source trash, thats why it's very important for Bitcoin to remain open source and decentralized. And no I don't think the banking industry can do anything about it, even if they get the govs to pass a million laws, Bitcoin will always survive, there will always be nodes out there and there will always be people benefiting from mining somewhere around the planet.

Indeed, this is a really likely scenario to happen, that's why we must keep bitcoin decentralized over everything, and this involves being able to run nodes with a single computer, and big blocks aren't friendly with that. Bitcoin will be our only salvation in the Orwellian private blockchain future that awaits us.

They haven't presented any evidence that the terrorist were founded with Bitcoin, but I think they didn't really claim it, they just speculated with the idea, just to get some clickbait headlines for their website and whatnot. It's a business after all.

They just use whatever they can to drop negative press on Bitcoin and make it look shady. I really doubt the terrorists are computer knowledgeable enough to correctly operate with Bitcoin, with fiat is way easier so they will keep dealing with it as long as they can. Of course its easier to transport value with Bitcoin but I dont think they know how to. Sadly I think this will eventually change and BTC will be used for that because BTC is not going anywhere, it will just keep getting more robust and more anonymity workarounds will arise, but with great technological innovations you always have to deal with this tradeoff.

I have no idea who this is so I will not comment on it, but I find interesting that some people find it unfathomable that there are really crazy lunatics out there whose brains have been brainwashed with religion at the most dangerous levels and will do that kind of stuff. Why does it all have to be a false flag? sure the gov does stuff like that, but every time? cmon.

I have started thinking about shorting Bitcoin when I feel its overvalued, the problem is knowing when it's really overvalued... in November 13, I thought 500 "was it". "This can't hold for longer, it's going to crash". And it went to 1.2K. This November with the 500 rally I thought, well, why should I think it's overvalued? It could perfectly continue going up. Therefore there is no way to know if it's overvalued. What I know is its insanely undervalued long term thats why I just buy and hold.

Buying real state is a mistake unless you have a steady source of income to pay the expenses. So if you for example inherit a house from your parents or something, then I would buy another house and rent it and live on my old house (unfortunately if you buy a better house and you live on it, you will not be able to make as much money from it because the old house will be valued less)

Also taxes. I have no idea how much tax one would need to pay. Even if you buy it directly with Bitcoin, the IRS will know you bought a house, you can't get away from the goverment when it comes to real state because you may be able to hide something you bought with Bitcoin but good luck trying to hide a house from it.

What gains? gaining debt?

Because it's the only thing that's going up, debt. The value of dollar going up due scammy intervention by the state which is all artificial means absolutely nothing in the long term to correct the devastating trend.

I just cant wait for the day where Bitcoin is globally accepted by everyone and I can forget about dealing with banks. I am so pissed off at banks too since I discovered Bitcoins. Everytime something happens I have to not only call but go there in person because they don't trust you and ask for IRL credentials.

That is a lot of money to invest at, if you can afford 2100 BTC you are already rich.

BTC will be way higher than $2100 in the future, 4 figures are nothing at all, once we break 1K again, we will not stop at 2K for long.

Wow that is a lot of BTC, that computer must be like an alienware or something. In 10 years you may regret spending that much on a computer tho.. I think it's better to be frugal with BTC but maybe you have so many that 10 is nothing for you.

I am doing everything I can to not give in to temptations of buying anything with my Bitcoin until I feel happy with my stash. If the offer is good enough I may reconsider this tho... but not until merchants stop dumping it for fiat.

I also don't understand yet why this is the case, it's like they are developing 0.10 and 0.11 on the side. Why would you update something that is old? there must be a reasonable explanation because it feels pretty stupid to do so, and there shouldn't be any backwards compatibility thing.

Do you think that a 30 year old will be able to retire in 10 years with about 20 BTC? I cannot stand a single day at work, too much stress, I just need more free time, I cannot develop my hobbies, I suffer from anxiety, please help me BTC

Yeah but the problem is if you work in the audiovisual industry.

All windows programs are simply superior... there isn't really any Sony Vegas substitute for linux unfortunately, same goes for Pro-Tools, so in that case you are stuck with Windows, no other way out.

Hi, it is great that it got resolved in a good way.

I don't understand what will happen with current term tho. Is the current term going to be paid in the old rate?
On what day does the new rate begin?

Really nice OP, but you will run out of space if you keep putting predictions that get quickly crushed by new higher prices.
I think once we reach 1K again, everything is possible. Bitcoin will demonstrate to be able to recover from a terrible crash, this inside people's brain is a definitive signal of high trust. The psychology is "if it can recover, it can keep going up".

This is ironically always good news for Bitcoin. Everytime Bitcoin has been banned, we've seen more and more interested within people on that particular country, just look at Russia or China, they are becoming leaders in volume traded and will only keep increasing as their ridiculous governments keep screwing up with people's wallets.
