I agree with you. I believe some people take time to accept especially new techs. I know of a couple of my buddies I tried introducing Bitcoin to after I eventually got into Crypto properly who didn't want to back then telling me that they don't have that kind of patience then, are also Into Bitcoin investment now. We have seen how some people were condemning the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, saying he forced Bitcoin on his people. People will come around naturally when it is their time to.

I believe it doesn't matter who these people are or the position they hold in society, this does not make them correct about everything. just yesterday I saw this post, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411824.0 made here by some Bitcoin hater talking along the same line, and as for the continuous Bitcoin adoption by many in Nigeria, rightly so this is one of the easiest ways to edge against inflation considering how the Naira has been losing value in recent years.
Back in 2015, African Richest Man Aliko Dangote warns we’ll end up buying a dollar at N500 and today it is about N700-$1 in a country where it is also difficult to access FX hence the adoption of Bitcoin will continue to grow regardless of what the Government through the Central Bank has ordered and besides, which other Investment will give you the type of profit you get from Bitcoin over time.

Well Like every other Bitcoins DEATH that has been put out there before now, I guess you just have to wait for this to pass as well so that people like you understand that Bitcoin is going nowhere and I really don't see the reason for too much debate on this because no one is being forced to invest in Bitcoin if you enjoy BSV then stay with that. 

I definitely agree with you. I don't suppose all those items mentioned in the Youtube video are just mare ordinary items without worth  

So I believe those that will be investing in this piece are definitely going to be doing that because they know it can bring in profits in later years.

All of the crypto projects in the markets are down 70% and more but this is not a problem considering you are HODLing some good Altcoins and not just some shitcoins plus really, this is the best time to Buy any GOOD crypto project from Bitcoin to ALtcoins, I understand some people will only buy back once the market starts going back up but maximizing your investment means buying when the market is down by 80% or more which most ALts have seen.

By the way, why do we keep having this sort of question about Bitcoin only when the market condition is in the bear trajectory? Is it that we have never seen this market dips before? It has to take more than mare bear market sentiment to think Bitcoins price will fall to zero plus, I agree with what goldkingcoiner stated here:

This is quite fun of that exchange. I haven't really done any serious trading and withdrawal there but I once had a few tokens for some bounty that was paid into that exchange and put them in sales which were later confirmed weeks or months later cos of low volume however because the amount is small I didn't bother withdrawing but one thing I noticed is the exchange request of an Account upgrade, 20000 TKP is what you have to HOLD to qualify to upgrade from trial to Light and that is about $2580, why would I want to spend that in an exchange with no Volume and trust? If not for that one bounty I probably wouldn't have known any exchange like that. My advice is to stay away too.

Sorry for what happened there mate but I believe the problem with losing in trading without having the proper experience is you trying to make back your investment quickly without taking a step back to see what you have done or doing wrongly. This happened to me back in 2015 when I was trading forex and even then I was just introduced to FX trading and had little experience when I lost that first $1000 I just wanted to make my money back and went in with another $1000 trade and lost again under few minutes so when I was introduced to crypto, I took my time but did lose some but not as what happened in FX trading.
Now I am more of a HODLer in crypto than a trader but will still trade if I feel I see an entry.

You are right but for me, I knew about cryptocurrency in 2016 but started proper crypto trading or investing in 2017, and soon after that the market went into a Bull market and I actuallly invested in a few altcoins and made good profits from them because ofcause it was the bull market however, I didn't know that there was a bear market since I was just entering crypto and did lose some of those profits however with the experience in the market now, I believe Investing in Bitcoin regardless of the time but being able to hodl for a long time is what actually matters more, cos as we know now some early birds in Bitcoin are not as fortunate as we would think cos they never see Bitcoin in this position.

I agree with what you are saying though but in terms of the max supply case, Shiba Inus detail coingecko states that It has a circulating supply of 590 Trillion SHIB coins and a total supply of 1 Quadrillion. If this is the case if there is any additional minting would this not be reflected in the blockchain? By the way, I too think it is going to take a whole lot more token burns for Shiba Inu to get near to that price.

Here we go again. Just FYI, everything in life happens for a reason and is all connected or interconnected to each other's development. If humans didn't exist then... I guess you know the rest. It is because we existed every other thing that will aid human existence existed and this view of Gold and Silver being used to develop whatever assisted in Bitcoin creation does not take away what Bitcoin is and as far as I am concerned, there is no correlation in this.

Exactly. I was wondering what those people that came across Bitcoin in those early days and sold off would have thought about when the price of Bitcoin started growing. I keep going back to this story of Shiksay “Sziky” Miklos who
left a comment for Sports.ru about participating in the AoV iCCup StarLeague. At the tournament, the cybersportsman took 5th place and received 25 bitcoins. Then they were valued at $ 41.
Imagine taking $40 instead of 25 Bitcoins those Bitcoin are worth above $500k at today's price. only if they knew.

Maybe but I am guessing most will dump 50% which would have been way more than what they had in value then and because they have seen what Bitcoin is now, I bet they would love to hodl some till the next bull market to even gain more from that too, that's what I would have done.

That didn't happen yet so there is no confirmation there that this is the case besides, even before the Mtgox rumor, Bitcoin has been trading between the $17k it fell to in July to around $24k+ which looks more like a sideways movement from the chat to me if you look from a daily chart plot unlike what was happing from previous months of decline. However, I hope it doesn't dip more cos we could see a $16300 BTC price next. 

The market has not been that easy to predict because for the past few weeks say from 19 to 26 August 2022, the price of Bitcoin was stuck between 20k-21k, and right after the Bitcoin price dropped to $20k even $19k+ but we can always zoom out to a bigger time frame to understand that the market still looks like it is in a bear trend. The supposedly Bitcoin experts have not always gotten it right in their prediction sometimes.   

Who keeps the old people in the office? the youths are the ones that are not serious about taking power. Power cannot be given, it should be taken and the youths have the numbers only if they have the will. When the campaign begins, how many old people are out there doing the campaign if not the youths as long as they collect some small money? You would expect the so-called influential youths to build theirs from scratch and take control if they really want to but you would notice they keep sucking to these old corrupt folks.
During the past ENDSARS movement, the youths came together but we all know what people like Desmond Elliot said about them and forget that he is in that class too.
Even now, Why is Bank W and Funke Akindele shacking up with the old Corrupt people's party? why can't they just form their own alliance and take these old folks out of office?
The corruption has eaten deep into the system whether old or young and it is going to take a miracle for this to be turned, as you have mentioned, I do believe Peter Obi will be able to come through for the Country but that is IF he eventually wins cos youths in some part of the country still don't know how to separate facts from tribal sentiment.

I believe this is just mainly a fact of indiscipline with spending from people saying that regardless of the percentage. The reason I use cash these days is that most of the local shops around our area are not on pos but the bigger shops have so no problem with does. Whether spending paper fiat or digital card to me makes no difference cos I don't think you will spend more via digital means than how you would if you had cash on you. Also, another downside to using cash sometimes is, that some traders might not have the complete change to give you and you might end up leaving some change for them imagine if this is done a few more times but this is not so with digital payment.

Whether you believe that was what it was created for from the beginning should not restrict it to that level alone. I believe if Bitcoin still remained as just a decentralized digital transfer without the price increase/volatility to it, most people wouldn't have been engaged in it as we see today, so, evolution is a good thing as Bitcoin has evolved into more than just a Peer-to-peer (P2P) entity but also an Investment opportunity.

You are right. I saw this from one other post here and I think it totally illustrates what the Subject is talking about.

Most people in crypto today are more "supposedly" traders and not investors. They are looking to make quick money as you said and don't even know how to do that thinking they can buy any crypto and the price will double in a short time but if that didn't happen they panic. I believe that it requires knowledge for you to know what happens in the market and most people don't what to do that, and with market knowledge, you can practice patience which usually pays in the end only if you also INVESTED in the right cryptos.

Quite frankly, the whole market is in that "severe crash" as you know, Bitcoins price action affects all other cryptocurrency prices hence the dip you see with all other crypto prices.

Bitcoin thus far has dropped -71% from its ATH and could still dip more and yes some Alts have had a worse dip from ATH but I believe that a few Alts also have proven themselves and can go through the bear season as they have done before.
