1281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlackRock wants to reduce the price of Bitcoin on: August 27, 2023, 04:48:01 PM
Would I be surprised if BlackRock are actually trying to manipulate the price? Absolutely no. Do I think they are doing it? It could be. Would they be the first ever to manipulate (or trying to) bitcoin's price? Absolutely no, they won't even be the last. Anyway there are always less and less people selling their bitcoin at these prices, maybe we could go down a couple of thousand dollars more but I think it's extremely unlikely that we can go much further than that.
1282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How was your first Bitcoin experience? on: August 27, 2023, 04:41:12 PM
It was a little random: it was on a forum that had nothing to do with bitcoin or finance but somehow someone mentioned bitcoin and he received several private messages because people became curious, I think I wrote him a PM as well, and since he got several messages he decided to start a new thread about bitcoin explaining a little what it was, where and how he was buying, etc etc. I remember that before that I already read online about bitcoin but I never actually paid any attention, unfortunately.
1283  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HOW DO WE TRANSFER BITCOIN WEALTH TO HEIRS AND THE NEXT GENERATION on: August 27, 2023, 04:25:18 PM
This thought have been bothering me for a while and I feel we can discuss it here. Many people that are building their Bitcoin portfolio are doing it to also save for the coming generation. However, how this wealth will be transferred to the heirs and the next generation and how this wealth will be preserved without being lost or causing problems still remain unclear.

I understand for other tangible assets, a WILL can be written to be revealed when the time is right. But for Bitcoin, I don't know how this can be done as it may require revealing the secrete codes of the wallets or storage device. Is there any other way this can be done?
I think that when you reach a certain age you should openly talk with your sons (and whoever would inherit something from you) about what you have and what it is. In some cases people don't explain, they die, and then there are people who go crazy because they need to put several pieces together with the risk to miss or lose something. Of course I'm talking about people with more money than the average Joe. Same goes with bitcoin: you have them? Make sure your kids know what bitcoin is and how to use it before the get scammed after you pass away.
1284  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: Paypal lancia la sua stablecoin on: August 26, 2023, 03:39:16 PM
Una stable coin centralizzata sotto il controllo di PayPal che al occorrenza può congelare o svuotare il conto? Personalmente non mi fido per niente
Beh alla fine non è che cambi molto dalla situazione odierna di PayPal con "fondi reali": se si fanno compravendite ad esempio, e ci sono reclami, PayPal già da anni ti può togliere soldi dal conto a loro discrezione in base alla decisione che prendono. Stessa cosa dicasi per congelare i fondi. Può essere che usando una stable emessa da loro, quindi presumo ci sia da accettare qualche T&C, PayPal abbia ancora più libertà di fare come vogliono ma ripeto, già siamo quasi a quel livello.

E quindi non farebbe meglio Coinbase a diventare una piattaforma bitcoin-centrica sfruttando il suo know-how per fare da "gate di ingresso" ai soldi veri, invece di perdere tempo con le scimmie mutanti o roba  simile?
Presumo che abbiano fatto le loro considerazioni e la montagna di soldi che guadagnano con le commissioni (che mi pare siano parecchio esose rispetto ad altri exchange) vale la pena correre il rischio, e mi pare anche che siano dando parecchio filo da torcere alla SEC in tribunale perché loro chiedono direttive e la SEC semplicemente non gliele da e poi, dal nulla, gli vanno contro.

Binance ha molte meno possibilità: perchè non è USA, non è quotata, perchè è molto meno controllabile dalle autorità americane, perchè è quasi integralmente shitcoin centrica. E' molto difficile che riesca a trasformarsi in una piattaforma di supporto alla clientela "istituzionale".
Binance ha creato Binance.us proprio per evitare di mischiare il business principale (resto del mondo) con quello secondario e complicato degli USA, la SEC può attaccare solamente il ramo americano.

Potrebbe trasformarsi in un DEX ma li avrebbe la concorrenza di chi c'è già, i vari Uniswap, Pancake e Sushi che fanno volumi giganteschi.
Ehm... Non so se hai presente chi ci sia dietro Pancake Grin

Infatti e' impossibile che la cina rinunci al potere, ha bacchettato pesantemente le aziende che alzavano la cresta, come ben sapete il big capo di alibaba, mi pare multinazionale ANT e' stato trombato
penso che loro staranno di yuan digitale e stop
Condivido quello che dici infatti, il partito vuole tutto controllabile e se non lo é cerca di renderlo controllabile in qualche modo. Non a caso hanno creato il grande firewall, non a caso hanno creato sistemi come il social scoring: robe da blackmirror che mi fanno pensare che il futuro distopico é brutto.
La Cina a livello socio-politico è un paese molto particolare, non saprei se si possa definire unico ma è chiaro che utilizzino la facciata del comunismo solamente per gli aspetti che gli fanno comodo, per il resto sono parecchio capitalisti. È un paese che poi, per quanto sia stato quasi isolato in passato, ora punta molto ad avere un'immagine internazionale ottima e far vedere che tutto funziona, quindi questi controlli esagerati sulla popolazione puntano appunto a non avere problemi, a tenere sempre tutto sotto controllo. Da un lato ti tolgono privacy, dall'altro ti aumenta la sicurezza perché io ho viaggiato parecchio in Cina per lavoro e non ricordo una sola volta in cui mi sono sentito in pericolo. Anche perché se li ti prendono 1) te la fanno pagare sul serio, a differenza di paesi come l'Italia dove ammazzi qualcuno e dopo pochi anni sei fuori 2) le carceri cinesi non sono esattamente molto invitanti.

ma renmimbi o yuan non erano praticamente la stessa cosa? o ricordo male?
Sono la stessa cosa alla fine, il renminbi si riferisce alla valuta (tradotto sarebbe "valuta del popolo") mentre lo yuan è l’unità di base del RMB. In ogni caso normalmente, all'estero, si parla semplicemente di yuan, senza fare ulteriori differenziazioni.

Vale pena ricordare che si utilizza solamente nella Cina continentale mentre Hong Kong, Macao e Taiwan (in base a come lo vogliate considerare, Cina o non Cina) hanno le loro rispettive monete.
1288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 26, 2023, 01:35:02 AM
Bitcoin is a TERRIBLE choice for anyone nearing or in retirement. You simply don't have the time or income to recover. I think a number of no more than 5% of portfolio tops on a good day. If it gets rowdy and jumps up move the money into more secure positions. I have alot of friends who lost their asses on "sure things" in retirement. I had a friend go into retirement from an airline and he had his investments in the airline too, company man. Company folded along with his pension and stock. Don't get greedy in retirement portfolios as you age, ever.

If you young sure play with it, don't make it you only thing.
As always, it depends on your financial situation: if you have a decent amount of money then investing in bitcoin, especially now that is more than 50% below its previous ATH with the halving in less than 1 year, it could really turn out very well. You are worried about the time, if you retire in your 60s potentially you have other 20 years of life, that means other 5 halvings, I would say that there is plenty of time because 1 halving is more than enough.
1289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life? on: August 26, 2023, 01:21:44 AM
Please do not assume I am asking if "you got really rich from BTC". For example, has Bitcoin/Crypto changed the way you shop, or earn weekly income? Has BTC helped you feel more optimistic and excited about the future? etc. I am getting started late compared to many others, but I see many great days ahead. Thanks for being here at the forum!

Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life?
Bitcoin brought me to ask myself several questions about the financial system, questions that before knowing about bitcoin I wouldn't have ever even thought about it, and the more you look for answers the more you understand how nobody actually teaches you about money management. Now I see money and the way I should investing and spending money under a totally different light, if it wasn't for bitcoin I would be way way more ignorant.
1290  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think we need to start asking people if...... on: August 25, 2023, 11:44:09 PM
He said people don't ask that's why he believed no one is using Bitcoin as payment.
What do you mean by "people don't ask"? If you offer a service you should be the one giving the payment option in advance, especially if we're talking about jobs like plumbers, electricians, etc, that work in somebody else's place, so you don't have like a desk where the customer can see that you accept this and that. He should have been the one to ask you how you wanted to pay, not the other way around.
1291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strategies of Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation and Their Motivations on: August 25, 2023, 07:51:01 PM
As some asked, I will ask here too: when institutions use this "silent" method to buy bitcoin, are they doing it to gain control of a large percentage of the market or it is purely profit driven?
They don't care at all about controlling the bitcoin market, they just do it because they can make a lot of money out of it. These funds make a ton of money thanks to commissions, and if they accumulate now, before the ETFs get approved, they can also sell later and make another profit. Why do people give money to these funds? To make more money, that's it.
1292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you go about realizing gains? If you opt not to, what is your reason? on: August 25, 2023, 04:15:40 PM
We're currently experiencing a bear market phase. How do you intend to secure profits once the market undergoes a turnaround? What proves to be the most formidable obstacle in executing this strategy? If your intention isn't to convert profits back to fiat, kindly explain your philosophy regarding this choice. Newbies in this platform like me could gain insight from your past experiences.
For me it really depends on the price we will reach during the next bull market: if bitcoin goes above $100k then I think it not going to be easy to keep holding, I can image many people will start selling because we are talking about some serious money. I would sell something, for sure. If for any reason we won't reach $100k than it would be quite a disappointment.
1293  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: Attenzione: Voci su una possibile insolvenza di Huobi on: August 25, 2023, 03:30:18 PM
Ovvio, però nessuno può sapere quali saranno i minimi, neanche BlackRock, e presumo che abbiano fatto i compiti e sappiano quanto in questo momento, più che mai, c'è sempre meno gente che vende i propri BTC quindi sì, comprare a $1k in più o in meno fa la differenza, ma vale la pena continuare ad aspettare? C'è chi aspetta ancora i $10k...
Vero è quello che dici, penso che BlackRock sia leggermente ricca e possa fare delle proiezioni accurate su questo: chiaro non sto dicendo che indovina con super precisione, ma sicuramente capisce il trend e sa sfruttarlo a suo tornaconto.
Non capisco la correlazione tra essere ricchi e poter fare previsioni accurate: se fosse così qualsiasi grande fondo che gestisce decine e decine di miliardi dovrebbe costantemente battere il mercato perché dovrebbero sapere che direzione prenderà ed invece non è così anzi, ci sono grossissimi fondi che sono perfino falliti. Già è difficile fare previsioni sul mercato azionario quando ci sono praticamente tutti i dati disponibili online, informazioni pubbliche, etc etc, per un qualcosa come bitcoin è 100 volte più difficile perché è un mercato piccolo ed estremamente imprevedibile dato che un +/-10-15% non è un qualcosa di strano.
1294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODLing Bitcoin isn't merely an "investment" on: August 24, 2023, 11:41:23 PM
I saw a post made by someone in which he told his story about his investment in Bitcoin and how it helped him go through the financially challenging times that the COVID-19 pandemic brought. A good, heart-warming  story by a fellow Bitcoiner, BUT we shouldn't forget that simply HODLing/owning Bitcoin could also be a kind of political movement, because its features could make Bitcoin weaken or break down political strongholds.

It might be premature to call it a revolutionary movement, but what were the motivations of the early cypherpunks when they were building their tools? Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block is also political.
I like to think about bitcoin as freedom rather than politics. The two things are directly linked but at the same time are totally different. Everybody likes freedom, not everybody likes politics. Of course it tries to fight banks, so again, for some people that means freedom and for others it means politics.
1295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons Taken from Previous Bull Markets: How Will Your Approach Change? on: August 24, 2023, 11:37:19 PM
Getting Ready for the Next Bull Run: If there's another big run coming up (we hope so!), it's a smart time to think about what you'll do differently. Are you planning to keep your investments for longer and not sell too soon? Or maybe you're thinking about taking some money out at certain points? Do you have a new way to handle risks in mind? Whether you're into looking at charts, doing research, or just keeping a cool head, lots of us would love to hear your thoughts.
I'm mainly a holder, so I don't do any trading, but if there will be a new bull run (let's hope yes!) and bitcoin will reach a certain value then I would probably sell something. If then it keeps going up then I would probably sell something more because if there is something that I've learnt from the previous bull runs is that sooner or later bitcoin dumps quite a lot so there always are good occasions to buy again.
1296  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: BITCOIN PUMP! on: August 24, 2023, 04:49:53 PM
È sempre la solita ruota che gira: Bitfinex è l'exchange più importante? Si fudda Bitfinex. Kraken lo scavalca? Ora è Kraken che sta per scammare. Arriva Binance? Sono ad un passo dal fallimento.

Sarà un caso che per i grandi exchange c'è sempre un FUD costante mentre quelli piccoli, e per assurdo quasi più "pericolosi", a malapena se ne parli. Ogni tanto c'è qualche menzione che passa immediatamente nel dimenticatoio.
1297  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: E questo? BRICS Pay on: August 24, 2023, 03:25:45 PM
Figuriamoci se la Cina accetta di abbandonare il Remimbi per gli scambi internazionali, non scherziamo dai.
Stavo proprio per scrivere la stessa cosa: all'interno dei BRICS direi che la Cina è sicuramente il paese più importante, sia a livello economico che come peso politico a livello internazionale, e da tempo stanno cercando di spingere altri stati ad utilizzare la propria moneta quando c'è da fare affari con loro, figuriamoci se dovessero mai cambiare idea per usare BTC o qualsiasi altra crypto senza averne il controllo totale.
1298  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: Attenzione: Voci su una possibile insolvenza di Huobi on: August 24, 2023, 03:15:53 PM
Fame news FUD e quant'altro non fa assolutamente bene a btc e crypto in generale.
Ragazzi, probabilmente gli ETF spot su bitcoin verranno approvati, sapete cosa vuol dire? Una quantità enorme di denaro che potenzialmente può entrare nel mondo cripto, e secondo voi questi fondi cosa stanno cercando di fare? Acquistare al prezzo più basso possibile ovviamente. Se $5k fanno la differenza per una persona qualsiasi per loro forse la fanno ancora di più perché vorrebbe dire che invece di 10k BTC (cifra a casa) ne porterebbero a casa quasi 12k, sono quasi 2k BTC di differenza, non so se mi spiego...
Ho sentito dire, correggetemi se sbaglio che non sembra necessario acquistare Bitcoin per il controvalore degli ETF ma che basta avere il cash normale per coprire il valore? Fantasia oppure roba reale? Grazie per chi mi risponde.
Cosa vuol dire avere cash per coprire il valore? Il fondo dovrebbe avere questo cash? E quale sarebbe il senso di correre un rischio del genere per non comprare? È come dire che allora i fondi non ti vendono le vere azioni ma tengono il cash da parte, e se poi quelle azioni fanno un +200%? E se poi c'è bitcoin che fa +400%? Perdonami ma non capisco il senso di correre un rischio simile perché se poi qualcuno vuole tenersi quei bitcoin o spostarli deve essere libero di farlo, quindi tu potresti aver comprato il tuo "bitcoin immaginario" a $30k, poi va a $100k e decidi di spostarlo e allora a quel punto il fondo si trova costretto a perdere $70k perché deve darti per davvero quel bitcoin. Capisci che tutto questo non ha senso.

A spot Bitcoin ETF brings all the benefits of a futures ETF, such as investing in Bitcoin without using an exchange, paying less in fees than on a crypto exchange, and streamlining the process overall. But a spot ETF invests in Bitcoin on the spot.

That’s right, a spot ETF invests in Bitcoin at its spot price, meaning buyers will be holding Bitcoin within the fund, similar to buying a stock.

1299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC will hit new high, as crypto bull billionaire predict on: August 24, 2023, 02:14:19 AM
Wow! Yet another billionaire predicting the obvious. Bitcoin had ATHs every 4 years, it’s like telling me a billionaire predicts there’ll be inflation in USD lol.
Haha you're totally right, I mean, we don't need Nostradamus to guess that in the future there is a 99.99% chance that bitcoin will hit a new ATH, I don't really see how this can even be a news. I guess during the summer the "journalists" really don't know what to write about.

Anyway I suggest not to listen to these people, whether they're bullish or bearish it doesn't matter, they just say things in order to get richer.
1300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long can Bitcoin out perform inflation in the long run? on: August 24, 2023, 02:10:32 AM
So I was thinking....

A lot of people are hoarding their bitcoins and waiting for a spike in the price, so that they can sell for a huge profit. Let's say for argument sake that real inflation is 10% per year.... and you are not selling any coins. (I say "real" inflation ...because we know the inflation provided by governments are manipulated... and much lower than the actual inflation or living cost)

Every year that you are not selling any bitcoins (as a commodity) ...the inflation that you have to beat with this investment... accumulates.

Example : Year 1 = 10% / Year 2 = 20% / Year 3 = 30% .......and so on. You are also not gaining any interest on any of those coins... so they are dormant during the hoarding period. (When you eventually sell them, you have to divide the profit into the years that you hoarded it to see if you beat inflation)

What strategy do you use to beat inflation with your Bitcoin investment? (I am saying investment... because a lot of people use Bitcoin as a commodity and not as a currency)

How long are you willing to wait, before Bitcoin are not an inflation beating investment anymore? 
I agree with you when you say that the real inflation is higher than what the governments usually say but 10% per year, honestly, I think it's too much on the other side. Now we are in a particular situation because of the pandemic, they printed too much money and they are trying to slowly fix the problem, so if you tell me that now there is a 10% inflation it's ok, but in 2-3 years the real inflation, for me, will be around 5%, so half of what your saying. And about bitcoin it all depends, will it grow more than 15% in the next years? I think so.
