Being thankful for the good things in life & the good people around you is a really good thing. You should always tell people how much you value what they bring to your life & how much you love them. Showing gratitude ensures people see you in a good light.

Litecoin could have another surge in popularity & a buying spree for sure. The fact that it’s still here & functioning as it should be shows its strength. It’s obviously never going to flip Bitcoin but there is definitely a good chance Litecoin pumps hard in the upcoming bull run.

I agree, a few economists think we might get one in 2024, possibly December. I just hope they keep the economy propped up for long enough so we can get a full cryptocurrency bull run without any interruptions or anything neutering it like last cycle with FTX & China ban.

Four months isn’t too bad after what some people were predicting but regardless, I don’t see any victims in this case. I don’t think he should have received a custodial sentence at all. He paid a huge fine & had to step down at Binance, that is enough of a punishment in my opinion. We will see you out as a free man in four years CZ.

That’s really good but every hack that people lose funds is one too many. I guess as time goes on, after the likes of Gox very early on & more recently Celsius, FTX etc, people are becoming more savvy with their security practises & self custodial choices. Hopefully less & less people lose money online by being attacked by scammers & thieves.

I think it’s possible that other, newer meme coins can catch up with DOGE & SHIB for sure. SHIB came out of nowhere & people made a lot of money with it. I can’t advise you on what the next big returns meme coin will be, that’s the game unfortunately, do your own research & good luck.

With the current look at crypto & stocks I think people are predicting that rates will stay the same & we’ll be told higher for longer. I’m not sure how much more of this the economy can take though until everything cascades down. Hopefully he is slightly dovish & Bitcoin recovers but I’m not confident of it.

It looks like the price is dumping for now, I don’t think this is anything to worry about. We are where we should be really, the action is tracking previous cycles. It seems $60,000 is not going to hold this time. There is nothing to panic about though, just a normal mid bull run correction.

Money printing means stocks & crypto pump so I am fine with this. Hopefully the biggest bull run of all time is imminent, I would like to take out life changing money this time so if there is an unfortunate time of war at least let’s make something good of it for ourselves & take out big profits. 

It wouldn’t be something that I’d prioritise but if I was enjoying the job & paid a good salary in comparison to other fiat salaried jobs that I could get then yeah, sure, why not. As long as I could exchange the USDT for my local fiat currency & withdraw to my bank quickly after getting paid without high fees then it wouldn’t be much different to getting paid normally in fiat.

Newbies absolutely, unequivocally are not ‘scums.’ All of us here on this forum were newbies at some time. Time registered on this forum does not give you any kind of status or deserving of more respect than anybody else. We should all be pleasant to & respect newbies, we should be willing to provide help & assistance to anybody new who requires it. The majority of people here are good people, being a newbie should not discourage you from participating in conversation & debate.

I think it’s very unlikely we will achieve a price of $200,000 per Bitcoin in 2024. It just seems unlikely, it wouldn’t match with the historically repeating four year cycles. I think very possible the price of one Bitcoin hits $100,000 but $200,000 & potentially much higher will more likely be in 2025.

Burying gold in a safe location is fine, I wouldn’t recommend burying paper money underground though. We are on a Bitcoin forum though, burying our seed isn’t necessary, we can engrave 12 words on steel washers & hide them well in a safe place.

I think you should be more allocated in Bitcoin than any other asset but to say you should only hold Bitcoin is possibly not right. If people feel more comfortable holding say 80% of their net worth in Bitcoin & 20% spread across real estate & other assets then that’s fine. I certainly would not advise holding a small allocation of Bitcoin.

They hate everything they don’t control & it might get worse eventually. Don’t let this kind of thing scare you away from self custody though, they can’t take Bitcoin off you if they aren’t able to tell where it is. I hear there are a lot of unfortunate boating accidents happening lately.

This seems like money laundering to me, probably an early adopter bidding for his own sat to clean dirty money from the past. I never trust all these type of things, also high price NFT’s, they just look like a vehicle for money laundering.

Natural remedies to mild illnesses are always great to try before taking pharmaceutical drugs but there are many instances where pharmaceutical drugs are beneficial. The main problem I have with incorrectly prescribed meds are when physicians prescribe anti anxiety, anti depression pills. In that instance, I think therapy & natural methods are much more beneficial but doctors are too quick to hand out pills. I think that’s lazy & much more effort could be made to help people.

Everybody involved in Bitcoin has sold some too early, for too little money. The trick is not to repeat mistakes, Bitcoin is the best investment out there, devise & set up a solid accumulation plan, stop looking at short time price fluctuations. You should see Bitcoin as a long term plan, DCA as often as possible for many years. Think of it like planting seeds to harvest in years to come.

The best way to deal with financial stress is to take a proactive approach. Start by creating a budget to track your income & expenses. Identify areas where you could cut back & save money. Prioritise your financial goals & develop a plan to achieve them. You could get professional advice from a financial planner or counsellor. Manage stress through exercise, meditation or other relaxation techniques. Try to maintain a positive mindset & focus on the actions you can take to improve your financial situation.

I have read a number of articles backing this up. I never trust America’s involvement in these proxy wars, if something doesn’t seem right then there is usually foul play in place somewhere. We are in a cost of living crisis, people are struggling to live, but Biden keeps finding billions to send to Ukraine. Other Western leaders are doing the same, sometimes I think it’s better to look after your own people before burdening the nation with debt to supposedly help other countries.
