1101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When are we going to see the mempool empty again and 1sat/b confirmations? on: October 01, 2023, 11:03:08 AM
As long as we keep trying to push for adoption, I honestly don't see this happening anytime soon as demand will keep tx fees high...

And to top it off, our exchanges that are very much vital in the crypto ecosystems do put pressure on tx fees as they always want to get tx in the next block by using higher transaction fees which makes this a continuous process that won't allow fees to drop...

But checking mempool we seem to be close to 1sat/b as I have seen this to have dropped from the high fees we used to seeing...which is only possible because  of the weekend, Monday this will go up .

So what's the deal with CMC, does everyone get different prices or what? It's showing 26,940 usd for me at 10am.
This competition is based on the UTC time zone and CMC will show you results dependent on your device's time zone, so to get an accurate reading change device time to UTC/GMT, you are welcome.

Honestly hodling was so much easy for the first generation investors as it was easy to buy  a whole Bitcoin for say $10, $50 or $200 or perhaps anything less than $1000 without having a mental challenge to forget about these coins for a while...

But with prices playing around 27,000 dollar's today, tbh you can't just buy such an asset and choose to forget about it because this will always be in your back of your head reminding you to always check and see if you can take any small profits and walk away ...otherwise to hodl=big boy/whale's games atm(mental challenge), better yet holding is for the financially disciplined Roll Eyes


So HODLing bitcoin is about mental strength, long-term goals and good financial condition. Without it, I doubt I would be able to HODL
Indeed a great deal of mental preparedness is needed to HODL Bitcoin in both bull and bear market but in all, the level of faith and believe in Bitcoin is what will guide our decision.  
mental strength comes easy when you are also financially stable not having to think about your stash..or coins you hodling.

It's different for me. I can see the price was $26954.33
So, the closest is:

$26942 by adbitco,
$27,011.26 by shogun47
$26,885 by Woodie

I could be wrong. But good luck, everyone!
You weren't wrong @Learn Bitcoin Cool
just double checked and the price was indeed $26954.33, my bad my device was 2 hours behind for the UTC TIME ZONE.

1105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs the government on: September 30, 2023, 03:16:30 PM
Government and their fear for Bitcoin!
Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency that operate without a financial system or without being controlled by the government is really creating panick and fear in most government officials.
They have every reason to be affraid especially that Bitcoin could disrupt the revenue collection that comes from taxes and the alike.

Besides, you know how our goods and services have value added tax for example, with Bitcoin it could mean consumers not paying this in trying to get cheaper items and government losing out on this revenue source which makes them not want to have Bitcoin near them.

The government just want to be in charge of everything, from monitoring your transaction to knowing how much people are worth financially
We might not like these systems, but it's the only way to guarantee that monies are collected to go towards health care, building public infrastructure schools etcetera and having BTC as the main currency I don't think it will be possible to address these necessities.

I feel that governments recently consider digital currency as their friend and are no longer enemies with digital currency, because in my opinion Bitcoin is the only way to fight inflation in the world.
My thought too.

We live in a digital age that has cryptocurrencies very much part of this era and the best the government can do is draw up a legal framework for them...

right in the first game in the pl i put two players from brighton in my squad with Estupinan and Ferguson. hopefully they will bring me enough points Cool
Early Kickoff unacceptable!!!!

Atleast Ferguson won't be hit by the so many goals conceded, but for some of us having a Brighton defence for this gameweek we won't be so lucky...this 6-1 loss will leave a mark and didn't expect such a result regardless of it being an away game, f**k these guys!!!

I knew Brighton were going to be in a lot of trouble today
Wish you gave us the warning signs as am in the negatives lol  Cry

1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hate speech and it impacts on bitcoin on: September 30, 2023, 06:05:52 AM
I have always thought of Bitcoin being that asset that brings about unity around the globe especially that it operates anywhere and everywhere regardless of it being legal or illegally recognised...and the fact that it's existence is in the lines of financial freedom, my gut tells me anybody hating on Bitcoin is either just not invested into it knowledgewise or they do some shoddy stuff that BTC could expose them for.

Btw, Bitcoin exists in an ecosystem with thousands of other coins/tokens and has maintained a positive relationship with all because of tolerance of opinions , but in terms of hate speech I have not seen it unless things get personal away from crypto.
1109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin price increase after halving? on: September 30, 2023, 05:02:19 AM
The word halving is spreaded everywhere but the occurrence of it is not swear to the fact because as crypto is volatile and unrevealed so same is the reality of its each event. People are accepting bitcoin due to halving and because of this acceptance halving can occur because we know that as more people are buying bitcoin so increase will be cause by this.
Totally agree, halving does have the influence to increase a short term demand as we approach this day but to say "People are accepting Bitcoin due to halving" you lost me here buddy as it sounds like you saying adoption will be happening because of it.

This increase will be for minimum time according to spectators because more people will find the suitable time to sell their bitcoin
This is one of the reasons why actual halving effects take time to be seen, as everyone won't see the prices they thought BTC would jump to because of it and would sell after the halving itself.
So halving will result in a slight drop before the big move, so for this most awaited event people need to think long-term.

I am afraid this might lead to disappointment as we will only see a temporary pump as everyone has a misconception that price will skyrocket post halving or even before halving due to which there would be from demand in the market due to FOMO
True, and its the FOMO before the halving that causes the temporary raise and the disappointment in the small moves that will cause it to drop before the big boys buy off the weak hands who choose to sell post halving to profit from the small gains.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 29, 2023, 08:01:38 PM
Gambling addiction is best solved by having gambling budget which is very small to the amount you are earning, like 5% of the 100% you are earning.
Budgets are a good way to manage finances but when it comes to gambling very few people can follow their game plan because emotions come into play and clouds one's judgement,  ego and stubbornness can lead to going off course...sometimes having a string of losses means you don't care about the outcome and end up going in for a double or nothing.

Btw that 5% profit target only works well with a big bankrolls, for the smaller ones it means risking higher amounts to make this small profit...

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve.
This is a great suggestion and these browser companies need to be tasked with this assignment to help curb gambling addiction before more younger people get hooked to this and worse case scenario lead to sucide for losing too much money.

Tbh this proposal sounds like window dressing an existing board called off topic, which is pretty much a freezone that gets bitcoiners talking about anything and everything from there.

Perhaps the solution to get users in the right discussion board was to suggest for a name change  or addition of freezone to  off topic name in an effort to redirect traffic...

Btw in regards to incentive to spam , most boards that managers find not to help in the marketing side of a project are usually excluded, and in cases were a manager can't pick out spam posts...BCT community members do report these directly to the CM and sometimes the mods...I think the safe guard's are working well Roll Eyes
1114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade only Bitcoin on: September 28, 2023, 11:37:26 PM
Trading is a lifetime skill that is always beneficial if you know what you are doing, the biggest mistake of traders is trading alt that most times doesn't obey market structure
Having losses to one's trading journey is very much normal , even profitable traders do have these...

Secondly, the biggest mistake isn't that Altcoins don't obey market structure but it's the strategy and mostly trading all assets available out there such that you can not master their behaviour...to counter this bad habit as traders we need to limit ourselves to a maximum of 3 assets so that we get a better understanding of price moves and what external factors influence them the most and see your winning rate go up.

when it comes to cryptocurrency, trade only Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn't just give you profit, it gives you security, it obeys market structure
This obey market structure line is a no no no for me as this depends on the strategy and not the asset. If you can trade Bitcoin then you can trade anything, be it future's, currencies, etcetera...

so my fellow traders, trade only Bitcoin, I don't know if anyone feel the same way?
Ummh sometimes yes, especially that it reacts well to news and Musk stories...

1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if your country did not legalize cryptocurrency? on: September 28, 2023, 12:35:48 PM
    Bitcoin is a very useful thing to many people.
    Very useful indeed!
    And the usefulness that crypto has to offer is as follows:

    • Allows us to enjoy the financial freedom of being our own banks and live maintenance-free and keep all profits realized fo holding
    • Skipping the hurdle of KYC when it comes to paying for good and services
    • With crypto middlemen are cut off which means cheaper goods and services are available

    The list is endless....

    Yet in some countries it is completely illegal. What will you do if you are a fan of bitcoin but your country did not legalize cryptocurrency?

    Bitcoin started off without regulation and most of our governments ignored it thinking it would die a natural death...

    Over 10 years have gone by and now it's a force to reckon with and the government now wants to play a part by regulating it..hell no, with or without regulation, the revolution will happen and it's team crypto all the way!![/list]

    1118  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin price increase after halving? on: September 28, 2023, 09:36:43 AM
    Based on the history of Bitcoin halving the answer is Yes!

    And unlike what everyone expects of halving to rise the second it's done...unfortunately the price increments do not have an immediate effect on the markets as history shows that it might take a year or two to see a significant jump in price.

    It's like if we apply the law of supply and demand, which means if the halving happens the Bitcoin price will increase.
    Great theory...

    The halving is more of an artificial shortage in supply, and the rules of supply and demand say if supply is inefficient then price goes up and this is what's going to happen here.

    In 2016 when I was a kid, this coin got in stuck in my mind but absolutely everyone around me was telling me to forget it, it's scam, it's online shit
    I don't think we can blame them  for looking out for you especially when the internet has so many scams and when someone brings you something that relates to it then they get defensive about it...but against all odds good to see you went with your gut feeling and stuck around!

    As we all know, halving is coming. Should I invest my savings in Bitcoin? Or should I lean towards altcoins this time? Which one?
    Just so you know, the halving is something that has a positive bearing on price but unfortunately the impact isn't immediate!!
    If you don't mind buying and waiting a couple of weeks to months then by all means do invest in some BTC.

    As of which one to go with, well they say don't put all your eggs in one basket and it will be prudent to minimise risk by diversification but you could go with a 70% investment in BTC and 30% investment in Altcoins.
