Maybe this is the reason of the recent Bump when the value had reached another ATH 48,000$ price days ago.

But looks like it subside just after 2 days of climbing

Now that the Value stays comfortable at 44-45,000$ and this would be the value until for the next days as again failed to break the awaited 50,000 target. .


unmistakably, even I feel that a higher rise will also occur. I think some big companies will also follow in Elon Musk's footsteps to look to cryptocurrency.
although the sudden increase could not reach the price of $ 50k, but I think the potential in the future is still very large to achieve that.
Price increase on bitcoin is mostly due to the number of famous investors trying to get in to bitcoin which have been followed by small time investors to be able for them to get their profit especially those who deals with short term investors. undoubtedly, bitcoin may have a chance to reach the 50k$ mark anytime soon if this uptrend continues especially that the new ATH have reached 48k$. Currently, we may be seeing bitcoin to be stable at the price range of 40-45k$ and I don't even know when the price correction will ever happen.

Don't connect your ledger to the computer until you will find out the way you were hacked. Until you didn't connect your ledger to PC your cryptocoins are in safe. Find some good and reliable system administrator to check your computer on viruses that copies passwords and setup some new protection against spyware and potentially unwanted software.
I think it's safe for him to connect and access his ledger account on his PC as the hacking occurs via email. Just as he said, the hacker successfully accessed his email and has been able to access his exchange account which seems to have no 2FA feature as they easily accessed those.
Anyway, if he is too cautious on his crypto balance on his ledger then it's better to access it on a different computer where there are no hacked happened.
1423  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I messed up and feel terrible about it on: February 10, 2021, 04:58:51 PM
If you didn't sell at a loss, you didn't mess up. Do you think Warren Buffet became the most succesful investor by buying at the all time low and selling at all time high every time? You made a profit and that's what matters. Now wait for a good opportunity when we'll enter a bear market, buy again and sell during the next bull cycle.

A "mess up" is when people loss their coins to malware, scams or accidental loss.
Agreed, how can you say that he messed up if he earn and profited from it. Not everyone will be able to predict the price of bitcoin accurately but the time that you've profit whether if its just a penny, it's already a win for you because, for starters, you didn't loss any of your money and another thing is that profited from it.

Also, when trading, patience is the key especially on this case as you must let yourself invest more and wait for the dump to happen. It might be long or not but there's a high probability that it will.

1425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are your Bitcoins safe? on: February 10, 2021, 03:09:59 PM
We can not generally recall the private key or seeds, so we frequently compose it on a paper. Unfortunately, my wife threw that paper but that GOD I remembered the password. Yet, I was late, somebody previously took my all bitcoins and move them to an obscure wallet id. At any rate, it was my issue to not keeping the bit of paper on its precise spot. It was a great lesson for me. Your bitcoins are protected as long as you keep your private key in a safe spot. It's difficult to keep your bitcoin's wallet private key yet not feasible.

I'm somehow skeptic on your story especially on that part where your bitcoin where took out from your wallet. Did someone obtain that piece of paper that your wife threw? What are the chances that someone has enough knowledge on bitcoin that will use those words on that paper and use it to access a bitcoin wallet? I'm confused on what might have happened here.

As for the OP, there are times that I have needed to find my private keys and seed for my wallet due to hardware issue such as my phone got destroyed, stolen and even my laptop malfunction which requires a format to be fixed but luckily I was able to find them. My main issue are those website I have no longer access to due to lost of access for 2FA which kinda the same issue.
1426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: February 10, 2021, 02:55:30 PM
First of all, we should know that there are some companies that are not providing gambling services but have campaigns on this forum, some are wallets, crypto mixers and some are exchanges. It will be good to also have ways we can take to support the companies we are advertising, for gambling gamblings, there is nothing there to use 5% of monthly payment to gambling, I like to gamble low but stake high odds, if I lose, nothing affected, but if I win, I will gain a lot. Anyone that do not safe may not have purpose in life, we should spend but holding is very important, bitcoin is also deflationary in nature, holding can bring more for us to earn passive income. Spending is necessary, I believe this is not a question we should ask because we do not have any option than to spend because we have to live.


Not all campaigns that are run on these forum is gambling related but what OP is asking how Signature Campaign Participants used their earnings on gambling as most of them are posting here at Gambling section.
It's great that we give back our support on what we are advertising by using our signature earnings on their website but not most of time we must use them. Also, it's our earnings and we have our right on where we want to use our money.
There are times that I gambled all of my earnings when I have nothing to spend on or when bored but it's always an extra money or that I used to prevent going broke but most of the times I withdraw and invest my money especially at times like today with how the crypto market is going, I rather invest than gamble my earnings.
1427  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Keep bitcoin in Coinbase or move to a private wallet? on: February 10, 2021, 01:11:10 PM
It's best to move on a private wallet where you have full control on it. First reason is safety, with a private wallet you'll have your own control to your safety such as private key. Next reason is fee, using a private wallet gives you control on whether you want your transaction be slow or fast depending on how high the fee you use. I've used coinbase as my first wallet when I introduce myself on bitcoin and the fee on it high and there was no option for retrieving your private key. ( not sure if it is still not available but at that time there's no option for accessing your private key).

It's best to use a private wallet, paper wallet, or a hardware wallet such as trezor for maximum security and full control on your wallet and funds.

1430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The day I entered the bitcoin market.... on: February 06, 2021, 04:23:14 PM
That's the kind of mindset that all of the people should have if they are thinking about engaging the cryptocurrency world, because that's the main reason why most of them stop continuing to study about Bitcoin, they think it's too late for them even if the the truth is not. As long as the remaining numbers of Bitcoin is yet still to be mine, price will continue to move upwards making investors get their profits no matter what timeframe did they enter the market.

So simple analyzation, and yet many people still failed to do that.
The mindset that people gives off when talking about bitcoin is always bad due to it being a digital asset. When I've started my bitcoin career, people tend to tell me bad things such as I'm a hacker or some shit like that as I've been earning money online, this also comes with scams, phishing and ponzi up until bitcoin appeared on news and different social media platforms. People has a low capacity that there's a variety of ways of earning other than the regular jobs that we are used to. Anways, that was my story when I started earning through bitcoin.
What I can say to you is that, there is never a good timing on joining the crypto world other than now. No one can predict what will happen to bitcoin and other crypto but you may lose the chance if you don't try. Someone told me that it's too late for them to join back when bitcoin hits 20k$ but right now he's earning a lot and has a business, does trading and has many digital assets other than bitcoin. It's never too late to join crypto especially that it can be a currency of the future.
1431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice games on: February 06, 2021, 02:48:31 PM
For me, the best strategy is to play just for fun - I am guaranteed to get the result since I don’t worry about winning at all. If there is a jackpot or something like that, I will of course take all the money, and if I ever play again then only for the same scanty insignificant amounts of money.

While playing for fun, you don't recognize that the total sum you have lost is already a big amount.

Don't play for fun. Having a purpose of that while doing gambling is just throwing away money.

What we need to do is, only play the amount we afford to lose and be responsible enough when to stop.

Why do you think so? I am perfectly aware of everything, but my pleasure is worth it. In general, I do not like such calculations as "in 10 years you drank coffee as expensive as a new car." Life consists of small pleasant things, I think that it is wrong to poison it with such calculations.


Agreed, Just because you're playing or gambling fun doesn't mean you don't have the full extent to control and be aware of the amount you're gambling with. I too have been playing and gambling for fun and most of the times I lose but it's part of the process when gambling even if you're serious gambling and trying to win at some point you'll still lose. But, unlike when you're gambling for fun, you're already winning as the pleasure and excitement it is bringing whether you lose or you win. No matter how hard you try or even test any strategy, there's a high chance of losing so why have fun along the way.
1432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people avoid bitcoin? on: February 06, 2021, 02:28:54 PM
Actually the main reason why people avoid bitcoin is because they don't understand. Not all people like to learn something new. Some people only follow something that is familiar in their environment so they can feel safer because they know what will happen next. What we need to do to solve this problem is by make bitcoin popularity increase, if bitcoin become more familiar to them then there are less people avoid bitcoin. And the other reasons are maybe bitcoin is not legal in their country yet and as cryptocurrency market is very volatile bitcoin value maybe decrease. But I think this is not problems because many investors like bitcoin volatility.
The main factor as to why certain individual doesn't consider bitcoin as their main way of transaction isn't because of it's popularity rather because of the usage of it. Yes, bitcoin's transaction is faster compared to wire transfer or bank transfer to confirm but not everyone has the grasp to use it and even transact with through fiat. Conversion of bitcoin to fiat isn't available to everyone which makes it harder for users to use it as their main way of transaction.
Another reason is the volatility of bitcoin which can change at anytime. Imagine buying something at 1000$ and receiving a payment on bitcoin which later became 700$ after a few hours. There are a lot of factors as to why bitcoin isn't the choice of someone and not just because of popularity and fast transaction.
1433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Newbie gambling sites on: February 06, 2021, 02:12:32 PM
Primedice is a good platform if you want to play dice game. They have been operating since I started to know bitcoin.
~snip~
Oh yeah I often forget about how good Primedice always is despite being one of the oldest in the industry if not the oldest, they have constantly updated and made sure the players don't feel bored. The only problem I see with primedice is that they are not changing and adding any games with time and a casino as enormous as PD must add games slowly but surely to remain competent.
~snip~
I've started bitcoin through faucets and gambling sites, and I would recommend Primedice as one of the best newbie gambling site. Yes, it lacks games but the community and administration of this gambling is outstanding. Just as you've said, they are currently one of the longest gambling site there is.
Another gambling site that I can suggest if you can consider other crypto is Just-Dice. It's also one the longest running gambling site there is with a newbie friendly interface or UI. It's easy to understand and also has great community inside.
1434  Economy / Economics / Re: which will u choose to buy on: February 06, 2021, 02:03:00 PM
In any case, today I have specific goals, upon reaching which I will fix my profit. It is the profits I will invest in my business and other alternative sources of income that will make me more financially financially independent. Of course, I will constantly monitor the cryptocurrency market in order to profitably invest in specific cryptocurrencies, because thanks to the volatility of cryptocurrencies, the market gives very good profits.
That would be a great way to maintain your money if you have a million dollars. Investments and assets will make any individual financial independent which can provide a passive income to anyone. Some people would say that they'll spend their millions to properties, cars and stuffs that can make them happy which isn't wrong but if you look in an financial perspective view will make you go broke in an instant.
Investments, business, trading and stocks will help you provide income and maintain or even multiply your assets.

1436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL ₿itcoin for Life, not for Lifetime. on: February 05, 2021, 04:36:43 PM
What do we hold for life? of course our goal is only to get money !! I think when there is an opportunity to sell bitcoin at a high price and buy at a low price. that's enough
I guess we only hold bitcoin as long as we earn decent money and sell it when the price is high which the opportunity of each and everyone here is waiting for. During the ATH last month, many investors and bitcoin users have sold their coins as it reached the 40k$ mark which is the most profitable. And, If I am right, many people are expecting for bitcoin to dump more for them to invest which the most common way, Buy LOW, Sell HIGH.

As for answering the OP, I'd rather hold for life up until I earn my way to a decent passive earning business that will support my needs, future and some of my wants. But I'm not saying that I'm quitting on crypto especially at bitcoin rather I would still continue doing what I'm doing and only sell the amount that I need. Anyway, I still think the bitcoin is the future and leaving it will be my biggest regret if I ever do.
1437  Economy / Economics / Re: Risk-takers always ahead financially on: February 05, 2021, 04:22:25 PM
If you think being risk-loving means richer, you're wrong. Only a small group of risk-loving people are successful, you never heard stories of unsuccessful one because, well, who want to hear unsuccessful stories. You may suffer from survivorship bias

Being risk-loving is bad for most of the case, in the long-run you always lose.


That's the thing with risking a lot as there's a high chance that you won't win at all but once you do, it will worth it. I'm not saying that if you're a risk taker then you're likely to get rich easier than those who play safe and find something that's more easier to manage rather I'm saying that the higher the risk, the higher the reward.
For example, BTC, if you've invested on bitcoin on 2013 and up until now hold unto it then you're very likely to have earn too much and might be a millionaire than those who've known bitcoin on 2013 but only invested on 2017. Also, you can have the risk higher and earn more by trading those bitcoin you have time to time throughout 2013 up until now which can bring more profit than just holding unto it but it involves higher risks and might put your investment to a downfall with just a wrong move.
1438  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible to live without banks? on: February 05, 2021, 03:15:16 PM
I think it still possible but it will need very long time to see that happen. Since many people using bank to make transactions, bank become a very important thing for their life. For example an exporter need bank to help the transactions between exporter and importer which the bank also help them to send the documents that is necessary for their countries regulations. It's also about tax, permission, and government regulations. They can use bitcoin for their transactions and leave bank as long as the government make a regulations about this. I personally don't like bank since it's offer loans with interest, it's not good for economy, also for me countries who print money regardless the amount of gold is a criminal because it make inflation.
Banks has many uses on very government not just for transaction such as what you've said regulations and taxation. Every citizen of one's countries needs to pay for their taxes where every governments get their funds to which banks are essential for. For me, the chances that a government will survive without banks is very very low.
Anyway, may I know the reason why loans with interest is not good for the economy? Isn't normal that loans should have interest as those money can be used in various ways instead on loaning to someone without interest.
1439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Crash? on: February 05, 2021, 01:22:01 PM
Technically it is possible if we are talking about crashing to zero.
Nope it wont happen , because at least there are still one person that will keep the hold so backing to zero value is Impossible to happen and that's for sure , because even you all sold your coins i will at least Hold my small amount in wallet that will bring this to have value still.
It is nothing to be afraid of though, that is a typical scenario for bitcoin, remember that 2017 was considered a crash by many (I'm not sure) but look at what happened to bitcoin, it bounced back. Even if there is a possibility, trusting bitcoin is the only thing that we can do, crashes shows who is worthy of a big profit.
Actually the crash that might happen is what we had last month , when the Pandemic comes and the value drops high more than 100% but crashing to no value will never come.
I agree to disagree, yes they probability of bitcoin crashing to zero to no value in very slim to nothing but I don't think that it will be the case forever. At some time, the market may crash so hard to even hitting the zero value which may be because of many factors that we haven't encountered yet on bitcoin. So yeah, technically bitcoin may crash up to zero value but the chances that it might happen is very slim.

Anyway, we have nothing to worry about as we haven't encountered any issues on bitcoin that will put all of its value to nothing and just as Lorence.xD said that even after many crashes that happened in the past, bitcoin always proves itself and bounces back with even higher value.
1440  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to my bitcoin if I die today? on: February 05, 2021, 12:57:16 PM
Several more bitcoins will be lost in Blockchain forever locked on your digital wallet and no one can access them ever without your private keys. One way to save your assets is to inherit your wallet and private keys to relatives or someone else.
Not to mention that when your bitcoin gets lost in the void forever, you are contributing to the increase in prices of bitcoin in the market. It sort of a noble purpose but I don't think that it is a worth thing to pursue especially if you plan to have a family, then do what the quote above says, make it part of your inheritance.
A lot of the Bitcoins way back 2013 were lost and forever cannot be access by the owner whether they are alive or not. Most of the bitcoin lost was due to bitcoin existence being forgotten by the owner, software corruption, hardware destruction and many more. And just as you've said this will help contribute to increase the price of bitcoin due to the limited amount of bitcoin that can be mined. The only way to save your digital assets such as Bitcoin and other crypto is to include it on your inheritance or have it save on physical way such as paper or anything that can help access the next users that will use it.

As for the question of the OP, if you die and have not told anyone about your bitcoin and cryptos then it will be forever lost.
