61  Economy / Speculation / Re: To what level will Bitcoin fall after reaching $100K (or higher)? on: September 08, 2024, 02:12:39 PM
How low do you think bitcoin will fall in price after reaching $100K (or higher)?

Let me remind you that in 2018, bitcoin reached a price of ~$16.5K and fell to ~$3.5K, in 2022 - ~$67.5K with a minimum level of ~$16K.
IMHO, those lowest that we've seen for the past years we might never see them again. This is what I like with this cycle, we always get a higher low every time the bear market hits us again. Maybe, the lowest could be $$40k-50k for the next bear market is 40%-50% of the course of Bitcoin's price if the ATH is going to be $100k but I think that we'll surpass that price too. It's just safe to say that we're going to see a better low in every bear market that we'll have. After reaching $71k this year, we saw it dropped to $48k and that's more than half of its price which is still good to be honest.

Zoom out the chart, forget about price change in one month or some months, your investment life will become easier and less challenging.
They don't want to zoom out the charts because what they're looking at are the current price swings, the day, the weeks, and a few months of it. But go back and check the start of this year and they'll still see some good upwards of the charts. Just a reminder to those that gets discouraged whenever they see the $50k levels of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin at the beginning of this year was around $43k and we're still $53k. I feel bad for those that have bought at the peak but look at your long term plans instead.
63  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the problems of wealthy people and what they want on: September 07, 2024, 11:52:25 AM
IMHO, one of the best advice to hear from a truly wealthy person who's dying and has reached the peak of success in his career was with Steve Jobs. He has given a lot of meaningful advice. These wealthy people can move freely because they have already leveraged their businesses and skills to other people that they're paying and so, they have a lot of free time to do other things. Well, AI is another innovation that they can leverage but it's not all that can do the job. I believe that a wealthy person has already that attitude to continue making more money and it seems that working more is already on their genes.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used as proof of funds during visa application in your country? on: September 07, 2024, 09:31:08 AM
The embassy is right about it but they need to have stronger proof of support and documents for his stay and Bitcoin won't give that assurance based on their policies. Also, I wouldn't recommend someone to show his Bitcoin and other crypto assets as support for their stay offshore. Why? you'll never know that the staff that interviewed you has some people on the other side that do things that you'll never know and when they know someone who's got Bitcoins, even though we're not thinking that things like wrench attacks might happen, it's better to be safe not to unveil about your Bitcoin holdings.
65  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Card Reader on Exchange on: September 07, 2024, 07:57:13 AM
Charles-Tim & dkbit98 - I owe you both an apology. The card reader is on my bank account and it is only for higher amounts. Sorry to have wasted your time - I am slowly learning. Brgds
Had things to say on a session time out but, it’s good you get it now that, it’s your bank and not the exchange in particular.

No exchange would require you of your card details or even enable a link to your bank for a direct purchase of cryptocurrency. Don’t forget, banks deal on fiats and haven’t been any friendly with cryptocurrencies just yet. Find an exchange somewhere that requires your card details to buy cryptocurrency, you should be weary and worried.

It’s okay however for banks to seek extra verification when you’re doing large sums, it’s for your own protection.
Kemac, smartvirus is correct. When I read this thread of yours, this is the first thing that came to my mind which I've placed in bold. The majority of them if not all are giving a hard time to their customers who are using their bank accounts and even credit cards to buy and sell cryptocurrencies from any exchanges. And if that requires a higher amount, I'd advise you to look for a local community crypto group of yours to simply buy P2P or through other means except that if that won't work for you.
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Future of Bitcoin as Digital Gold on: September 07, 2024, 04:26:25 AM
Hi,
Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as "digital gold" in 2024.
Nope, not only in 2024. It was viewed by many of us a long time ago during the early stage of it when it has shown volatility and I think even before most of us got in.

What challenges could Bitcoin face in becoming a universally accepted store of value? Any thoughts?
IMHO, those challenges have been overcame already by it. It's now widely believed to be a good store of value and because of the global trend that we're having and financial institutions passed on with Bitcoin ETFs, are there still challenged for its acceptance? Maybe only to those countries that don't accept it yet or it is illegal.
67  Economy / Goods / Re: import or export goods from or to Indonesia on: September 06, 2024, 07:20:53 PM
I highly advise you to move this thread to the Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) which is the local section for Indonesians. I think that you'll be able to have some interested people to do business with you first by finding someone through your locality and find your leads there first. It's not that easy to find some business partners online although we're seeing a lot of members here that have built their trust and reputation but it takes time, still wish you good luck.
68  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Prediction 2024 - 2025 on: September 06, 2024, 05:16:59 PM
So is it possible that history will repeat itself and of course I need to see a lot of speculation in this thread and also bitcoin price analysis next year whether it will repeat the cycle or not. while the $100k price target is highly anticipated  Wink
Definitely possible, I like honestly the comparison that you've made instead of putting the highest and the lowest prices for those years and cycles. I still believe in the 4-year cycle of BTC and that's why I am a firm believer that we're on the start of the bull run. And despite that BTC has already broken its former ATH even before the halving, it does make sense that it's a signal that we're going to see a better and higher peak when it comes by next year. The market is on a downturn now? that's good for everyone that wishes to buy at the lows, so keep doing it now while the days passes by until we head 2025.
69  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance seized all funds from Palestinians? on: September 06, 2024, 04:06:56 PM
Since CZ and Binance are on the topic, I think this is where I can post this news about him.
The new Binance CEO said that he's banned from getting back to the company. I was expecting him to be back after his release from prison.

[...]
According to a Sept. 5 Axios report, Binance CEO Richard Teng said CZ received a lifetime ban from managing or operating the exchange, not just three years, as many news outlets previously reported.

70  Economy / Economics / Re: We care about the economy, but we can't change its direction on: September 06, 2024, 03:29:54 AM
Almost everyone is concerned about the economy: prices, housing, wages, stock market fluctuations… Yet, despite our intense focus on these issues, as ordinary individuals, it seems like we can't make a dent in them. Economic policies, global markets, and decisions made by big companies often dictate the direction of the economy, and we can only passively accept it.

But does this mean we’re truly powerless?
We're not powerless but as individuals, we've got lesser power and we don't realize that if we come together and be as one, that power will be visible from all of these factors and aspects. When companies see this power, they intend to do what's necessary and that's why there are some of them that don't allow labor unions because they know where it is heading. We don't have control over the world economy as we just have to be adaptable and prepare for the worst. And this has something to do with leaders too, so if you're living in a democratic country, choose the suitable leaders.

Do you think there are ways we can influence the economy, even if just on a small scale?
We as individuals, are the economy and that's one of the powers that we possess when it comes already. Those small scales of businesses and individuals when put up altogether create a stronger force and margin in the economy.

Or are we simply left to protect ourselves and make adjustments within this system?
That's also it, the thing is we're all surviving and this kind of life that we're having is like survival at its fittest. But what can we expect? we will wait for some superhero to save our lives and economies? no, we act on our own to save our own lives and do better with our living and that's why we're adapting.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do I generate an income statement from a wallet to satisfy casino KYC? on: September 05, 2024, 11:46:23 PM
How do I generate an income statement from a electrum wallet to satisfy casino KYC 'source of income'?
Has anyone passed this before?
Thanks in advance
You don't generate any income statement there. What you'll be getting there is your deposit and withdrawal history. The casinos won't consider it as your source of income when you send them that and they won't approve it because anyone can ask their friends and families or even strangers to provide them a screenshot of their electrum balance. The casinos won't be looking for that as your source of income even if there will be ins and outs of it. What type of source of income you should send them are the typical ones that we're having, pay slip, or if you're self employed, the transactions that you're making or even bank slips might be considered but not from electrum.
72  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin found the bottom? on: September 05, 2024, 10:33:02 PM
Do you think Bitcoin found the bottom now at around 56500?
The bottom was likely at $49k. If this time, it's gonna be around $55k. And as I've checked the run for this week and month, it seems that $55k was the lowest that we're getting. It's okay, wait until the FED announcement again, and for sure we'd see some pump after that. This time, it's all about shaking the weaklings but is the price cheaper? I don't think so, I'm still zooming out and if we're going to conclude it, the holders are still winning with this price unless someone has bought at the peak then, you only have to hold longer.
73  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: North Korea Aggressively Targeting Crypto Industry with Well-Disguised Social En on: September 05, 2024, 02:26:40 PM
I'll quote some parts of the article;

The scammers may then provide a link to a “pre-employment test” or another download to install malware.

So, it's a fake employment scheme in which they'll ask the potential employees to take a test and then will be required to download a link for their software that contains the virus/malware. I think that these scammers are also connected or part of the Lazarus group that has hacked Sky Mavis' Ronin network by $600M: US officials link North Korean Lazarus hackers to $625M Axie Infinity crypto theft
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin mining still profitable? on: September 05, 2024, 12:43:38 PM
So, do you recommend to stick to BTC mining or switch to staking? I saw crazy APRs like 150% but not sure about it
If you can't afford the thousands of ASIC miners and are considering staking, it's best to avoid staking platforms or coins that offer that percentage. They will soon drop. Since you mined ETH before it turned into POS, and if you still have your GPUs, check out the coins that you can mine with them through https://whattomine.com/
However, I think that the profitability of those other altcoins has dropped too. As for people like me who have the same plans before, I've concluded that buying Bitcoin and holding it will give me more returns and then less effort and less electric bills and it has no other way but to go up. So, the potential loss will be there in paper but it will be recovered once it's high again.
75  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media has benefitted Cryptocurrency, here is how. on: September 05, 2024, 08:34:55 AM
Airdrop, all-time highs, partnerships, almost only good news that are giving benefits to crypto whenever it's published in social media. But we all know that there has been a demolition job from the manipulators about spreading of FUD through it easily and quickly. Aside from that, it's not only that crypto-related scams and links are spreading there. Also, the bank-related concerns are that vast in there if you're going to visit one social media page about a banking service and a corporation. Anything that is on the trend, we see it first on social media and then the flock follows whatever it is.
76  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When will you finally buy on: September 05, 2024, 06:13:54 AM
It is okay if they won't buy as long as you've reminded them once or twice, that's already more than enough for you to be worried about people close to you or strangers buying Bitcoin. Once you're able to give your thoughts about it, you don't talk about it with them anymore. You do and mind your own business than them. But expect them to come whenever they see the radar and see that the price of Bitcoin is going up again. Worry about yourself and your holdings and you shall do fine on this market. While the rest, don't be bothered with those people that you've already mentioned about it. Give them time if they will buy, they've done it already but for some reasons and circumstances there could be some valid reasons why they haven't done yet.
77  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Warning: Comments on Github to push crypto stealing malware on: September 04, 2024, 11:47:45 PM
Thanks OP!

So just be careful on what we download in Github, this is just one example and I think this might be the new trend for cyber criminals. Another mode of attack to us spread any malware they want to steal our cryptos.
If the link is redirecting you to another website and you're unsure if it's safe or not, better stop already from there. I don't trust most of the downloadable that are uploaded in Mediafire, I had a terrible experience there when I wasn't aware of these things a long time ago although some genuine files/apps are also there by non-bad actors. For those that are very hyper with what they see on the web whether it's from Git Hub or not, the practice is to always verify the source or if in doubt, don't touch, don't download.
78  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100k mark, year is almost rounding up.. on: September 04, 2024, 09:59:15 PM
The thought and speculation of Bitcoin reaching $100k has already set since 2021. Whether it will happen by the end of this year or by next year, whichever it happens, that's what we're all waiting for me. But for me, whether it happens or not, I'll hold on no matter what happens. Bitcoin is always surprising us with its gains and it always exceeds our expectations. So, I'm not saying that it will surpass $100k but very likely, and as of this moment, all we have to do is to be patient, accumulate, and always check the market if it has hit your target already. The plan is to hold longer and sell some on its way and make sure that you're not out of the market for the next upcoming years. Each satoshis that we own is becoming more precious every cycle that we're in.
79  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not all Cryptocurrencies but Bitcoin is an asset. on: September 04, 2024, 08:56:26 PM
Those physical assets (Real estate, precious  metals, oil etc) you just mentioned comes natural and can be regenerated by nature yes owners can use them for different purposes like he stated
These came from nature and they can be reproduced by it but it doesn't come with unlimited supply.

but then likewise Bitcoin, it's not physical but can be used and is currently used for carrying out transactions and unlike other assets what gives Bitcoin it's value it's the Volatility, so he should stop trying to give people the impression that it's not an asset Bitcoin is a digital asset.
And just like Bitcoin, they also have limits. But the purpose of Bitcoin compared to those assets have more and better. If there are people that want to argue that Bitcoin isn't an asset for them, that is okay. There is no need to become butthurt by those people's opinion and what we have to do is to hold and forget other people's business because we've got ours.
80  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Crypto Real Estate on: September 04, 2024, 11:00:33 AM
IMHO, focus first with the process rather than the tokenization. You can easily do the tokenization once your process is already built and stable. Whilst for the tokenization, you can inform your users or customers that you have to adjust as there's another development coming from your team a
nd that's the tokenization.
You're expressing exactly what I'm thinking. It’s clear that you’re as invested in the success of this idea as I’ve been for years. Unfortunately, most projects in this space have either failed or turned out to be scams. I firmly believe in the potential of real estate, especially when combined with digital business, as it could allow anyone to invest globally. I’m hopeful that it can work. Just one successful breakthrough, free from money laundering, could validate the entire concept.
Most of these projects are all concepts or ideas they want to materialize. And as they plan and look into that potential profit that they're going to have, we don't have to go that far anymore or sideways because that's the motivation there. The crypto market seems to be lucrative for them but not every project will have its own success. If a business is thriving without having the need to tokenized their assets, there's really no need to do that and just focus on the process and expansion through other means. I've also seen crypto project concepts and proposals that they're attaching to real estate but I have not seen many of them become successful.
