Maybe just want to expedite the process of exploration which isn't a bad thing so your own exploration at the least isn't that difficult for you, maybe a little introduction video on how to navigate the forum can be helpful, I'm sure that not all newbies are pressing the HELP tab on the upper left so I don't see how harmless can a small video tutorial can do and if you actually let people at the least watch this before they complete their registration, we might help cull the amount of spammers registering new accounts.

Hodling isn't really earning money, I assume that OP is asking for a way to earn money without the hassle of having to hodl for long, you know something like joining signature campaigns and doing work and getting paid. Telling OP that learning is a good start isn't really the advise that OP is looking for but it's a good advise and to OP, if you want to earn satoshis here in the forum, you might want to check out the Services board, you might find some users that are looking for some services there although you probably need to have a profitable set of skills like programming or maybe even some sort of skill that involves computer or artworks.

The highlighted part means that you already have a good mindset already OP so I don't think that it's going to be difficult to teach you anyway about some stuff about bitcoin and how you can make benefit from it. I don't agree with you about bitcoin becoming a major project though, it's already there, you could've been right about that if it was around 2010 to 2012 as there's not a lot of people that's talking about bitcoin back then but now it's the future already. Stay and participate in this forum as much as you can and want OP, this is a good place to get answers for your questions, ask all of the curiosities that you have and people are bound to answer.

Long as I can still do a P2P transactions on it then I don't mind bitcoin not having a legal status in my country, I love bitcoin but if the worst thing has come where it's being criminalized to even own one then I would probably just stop using bitcoin until I can get out that country and then reap the profits there, I don't want the hassle of having to deal with hiding just to use bitcoin, in a way it's like I'm hodling my bitcoins out of fear that I will be criminalized for owning one. Hopefully my country is always as backwards thinking as it always and just stay in the gray as long as possible.

What do you use that computer for? If you're using it for your school and such and you are also doing some side hustles with that work then wouldn't it be counterproductive for you to sell that? I mean you could probably do more work with a computer and get more value out of it than just selling it and buying bitcoin right now and waiting for bitcoin to go up in prices, that 100 monthly investment is already a good number to put in bitcoin so don't be too hasty, you might want to leave some money for yourself in cases that you need a quick cash, it's going to be a problem for you if you were to have an emergency and you don't have a quick cash to pick up and you end up having to take some in your bitcoin stash.

I say that it would do you better to just invest in bitcoin only, maximize the potential profit by buying more right now when the price is just starting to run hot with the anticipation of the bull run and with the halving still in the near future, best believe that you're going to be better off investing in bitcoin only. I'm not saying it's bad that you're investing in Ethereum but think about it, there's going to be an altcoin season after a bitcoin bull run anyway, it's wise to go for taking a profit at bitcoin first and then trying to get in Ethereum after.

That's such an old news already, I guess his stance never changed; a stance just as old as the system that he's benefiting from and they really don't like it when something that's challenging their financial system has been flourishing a lot of people are loving it and are talking about it and so they go for the cheap shots that are nothing more than bullshit because there's a public ledger that can just look up if they feel like it's a suspicious transaction, bitcoin's pseudonymous anyway so what's the point of using bitcoin for the stuff that this mofo mentioned? There's mixers and privacy coins like Monero out there so it's weird that they're attacking bitcoin when there are other ways those criminals can funnel their money and fiat is still the favorite of these criminals to use so what are they doing about that? There's still a lot of money laundering operations out there and they can't do a damn about it and instead they talk about bitcoin and why it's an evil thing that they have to get rid of.

The reason why they do this is to generate some shock value, I mean that's already how they do their magazines and news articles, don't mind the truth as long as people are going to read a sensational story. To me, this kind of stuff should be answered directly by the people that are mining, we can always just ask them their electricity bills and then do the calculations there hell, if we're so bent on disproving this research, might as well ask every miner out there and do a statistics and average depending on the size of their mining operations.

Why not just let things be? Wouldn't it be better for their monitoring system to work if they have a way to understand the workflow of the transactions, pausing the transactions would mean that they're going to look harder because they're going to be making it difficult for them to observe transactions because the people that used to do transactions in legitimate exchanges would go underground which makes it difficult for them to find those transactions since there's no country of origin in ledgers.

Just trust the process, you're already invested in bitcoin already and I don't think that nothing ever is better than that, if you feel like you're FOMOing on other altcoins, just remember that people that got out of bitcoin too early and then the prices started going up again and now they're regretting it so much and then they learn their lesson and buy bitcoin again but now the price aren't what it used to be for them so they value that they've got for getting back into bitcoin again is much lower than last time that they've got in. If you really don't like the idea of having to miss out on altcoins that are going up in prices recently, I recommend that you invest only what you can afford to lose.

Coingecko works for me just fine, you can probably tweak it to your specifications so you only have a few crypto that's giving the alert. I have listed bitcoin in my Coingecko portfolio so it updates me of any significant move although I don't think it's going to be reporting small positive or negative moments but I can't be certain of that, I didn't tweak my Coingecko app too much.

As much as this is the truth, besides the virtue of patience, we also should be able to have the ability to analyze the market and understand what the news is talking about and how would it affect the market in the long-run, if you're just going to use your patience with your invest, don't expect to be successful in trading and you're better off hodling and wait for your ideal price to go up and then sell there, much easier process but takes longer and will really test your patience.

Not advisable to trade with altcoins, it would be much better to look out for new altcoins that have a potential because those are will probably yield you a better profit since they'll definitely experience a pump and then they will dump and never come back again, that's a symptom that's prevalent on a lot of altcoins so rather than trading an altcoin that's been established long ago, you can utilize the potential of upstart altcoins, that's what I did during the NFT craze.

I agree but I don't see OP to be implying that stuff, probably bragging about giving away all the sMerits he's got and that placing himself as an important person because if you got graced by his sMerits that you deserve it. I don't think that it's going to be a good idea to put ignore on OP though, if OP can generate that much merit and share those to other users, then OP's probably worth looking out in terms of the content that OP posts.

Bitcoin was the 2nd I think, there's probably only 1 that was created before bitcoin so I say that you're misinformed that there are other cryptocurrency in the market because bitcoin started it all. It's not that bitcoin isn't valuable per se, during the early years of bitcoin, it just so happens that there's not a lot of people that are engaged or are in this forum so the value of bitcoin isn't that high but as time goes by and more people are trying to get in and the value of bitcoin goes from a cent to a dollar, people starts getting in because they want a piece of the action, the popularity of bitcoin is parallel to how many people have discovered bitcoin over the years not to mention that as technology and affordable computers become a thing in the year 2010 onwards, the interest in technology increases everyday so it's only natural that bitcoin will be discovered by more people.

It depends on what side they're going to be on because if they're on the controversial side and the side where a majority of the population disagrees then they would see a negative impact to their sales and stocks but if they're siding with what the majority thinks is the right one, they're probably going to see an increase in their sales and stocks but there are outliers out there that are an exception to the rule, some companies might take the non-majority stance but still gain respect from the majority and no effects that significant can be seen in their sales or stocks, another case would be companies that take the majority stance but the majority feels like they're just faking it so they don't see any significant increase or decrease in their sales or stocks.

I can't be sure about this as I don't want to come off as someone that toots their own horn but I would say that I'm the kind of investor that's going to be making a lot of profit because I deal in the long-term when I invest in something and in the case of bitcoin, I see the potential that it have and I don't like the idea that I will be missing out on bitcoin again, I had the opportunity when it was cheaper, not going to let that slip away ever again.

Breaking at 70k by the end of the year is a crazy number but I know how bitcoin is, hopefully I could sell a large portion of what I currently hold at that price and still make a profit and hopefully get back in because the price starts to go down again. Long-term, everyone should keep at least 80% of their bitcoin and enjoy selling that 30% if the 70k price happens again.

I wish I had a job during that time because I would've made more potential profit if I had but I chose to chill and relax before becoming a part of the workforce which isn't that bad at all, it's not like I didn't do anything during those times doing relaxing, I made some personal progress so I can hopefully sell my skill better and it did pay off somehow. Pretty awesome experience. I just hope that bitcoin's going to continue it's run until the first few months of 2024, not a bad year to start if bitcoin gets to 100k right?

Blaming themselves and regretting not buying during the lowest of bitcoin before it's peak has been the theme for many half-assed investors out there, they're not going to follow through no matter how much they want to regret their actions, look at them keenly and observer their behavior, when the price goes down they're not going to buy anymore because they believe it's going to go down even more and that it's finally happening. No saving those people. Just follow BTC movement and you will able to know the current crypto landscape, no need to complicate things if there's an easy way of doing things.
