Well, not everyone will like to self-custody. I think they do that because they feel their assets are more secure with governments in charge.
By the way, centralized/custodial exchanges have been doing similar thing the "financial product" do today, and they are controlled by governments. . So, it's nothing unique. Governments around the world are like parents to such people. There may be times when they become prepared enough to take custody of their stuff.

It's important to note that many people in US and around the World do the opposite. They prefer self-custody, decentralization, privacy, etc. Such are more than enough to cancel out any control the custodials may try to exert on Bitcoin. Even 1 person with $10 worth of Bitcoin who is strongly rooted in the Bitcoin/right principles have more influence over Bitcoin than those with millions in custody of a  financial product but not rooted in the principles. The financial product won't be as influencial as well, due to the fact its operation contradicts the principles.

There are people who are quite close to white in Russia or places close to the Arctic. You could find people in South Sudan of Africa who are quite close to black..  
The actual words could be light and dark skin colors. There are different shades of light skin color same as dark skin color.
And you can't exactly define a race of people by their skin color, as there are light skin people in places that are known for dark skin who are natives to the places. You could aswell find dark skin people with features that are associated with typical light skin people, like curl hair, pointed noise, etc. Nevertheless, certain regions are well known for certain skin colors. And they typically look similar as if they are from thesame ancestry. But the Word of the CREATOR has warned people not to judge by appearance. There will likely be surprises that could be hard to believe. Someone was once revealed that the CREATOR does certain things to confuse the enemy. Even the enemy seems to imitate this

If your claim that minority Bitcoin holders who have the majority stakes, or wealthy oligarchs could call the shots, or have a final say on Bitcoin consensus, because they could determine the price of Bitcoin, which consequently makes Bitcoin centralized, they would have done that by now. Ofcourse, they tried in the past but the market has proven time and time again that Bitcoin ideals by far matter more than the number of people who control majority stake.
Besides, the market is in its current state because people tried to attribute the recent bull run to wealthy people, so the market moved against that sentiment to prove them wrong.
The price of Bitcoin is tied to a factor beyond human control and fundamentals such as decentralization, transparency, immutablity, censorship resistant, privacy, trustlessness, permissionless, deflation, etc.. Everyone is subject to these factors, and anyone can obey the factors to get the price move to the extent of their loyalty and alignment to the factors.  Decentralization is maintained in this regard since anyone can do that to get the price move unlike having the minority with major stakes calling the shots.

This statement was proven right on Steem Network which was taken over by a big investor, in similar manner you described, but the majority or community protested the decision and ended up creating Hive from steem. The price of Hive overtook steem and almost doubled it. Unfortunately, the minority with major stake on Hive could not resist the temptation of steem even after several warnings, and the price nosedived but probably still higher than the price of steem.
What happened is that certain people/things failed to realize or deliberately ignored the fact that a crypto network, if unique, will derive its value from strong fundamental like decentralization, privacy, censorship resistance, trustlessness, permissionless, deflation, etc. Tying the value only to stake will crash the price or create a bubble that will eventually burst

That's nothing really, since Bitcoin wasn't affected. If Satoshi had sole power over the network it would've been a different issue. Most likely they thought Bitcoin was centralized database controlled by one or few people they could capture, seize their keys for sole administration of Bitcoin, but they realized it was decentralized and very hard to centralized or shutdown, so they gave up trying


By the way, the World is nolonger run by globalists. They almost fully captured the entire world few years ago if they had gotten Russia and other resistance nations, but that miraculously failed.
If they had captured the world, what you fear about Bitcoin would probably have come to pass since there will be no place to hide to operate nodes and other Bitcoin related things.
And it is interesting to note that Bitcoin community, with divine help, largely contributed to the defeat of the globalists and their final removal from global power, yet the globalists are much stronger than the current US administor. Hope you understand what that means.

If the centralized things you mentioned get shut down, it will be good for Bitcoin because people will start self-custodying their coins and transacting peer-to-peer, like it was meant to be. And then many decentralized and instant exchanges will spring up to fill the void left by centralized platforms

In regards to Iran using Bitcoin, well, after thoroughly considering that matter, it was concluded that the usage is justified since the country was attacked based on mere allegation (intelligence report) with no convincing or trusted evidence to back it up. Beside, a trusted '"prediction" indicated that something else rather than Iran would do what they fear iran will do to Israel.
They claim the bitcoins will be used for rebuilding the damaged infrastructures. It would be fair to charge those who unjustly supported or were unjustly behind the damages

Finally, if the whole thing had being about Iran collecting bitcoins for terrorist attacks, probably against Israel, it would be OK to get the Bitcoin community to help target addresses involved, using means like address blacklisting.

Why/how certain 3rd world countries were deliberately set up to fail, and why we can't afford to let that happen here

While I was a slave of the system of the world, I used to be an independent activist probably because I was drawn towards certain western ideals. I use the word "probably"  because it was hard to find people in the world I lived in then who were interested in that kind of ideals I was interested in. My attempts to influence them sort of made them angry and sadistic. For example, attempts to make them care for kids, animals or environments would make them more abusive towards animals, kds or the environments. So it seems it was not in their nature to be kinds towards the creatures/nature, which made me concluded that it could just my personality and my being drawn to west was because we were similar in mindset

Unfortunately, I noticed something strange that made me wonderd whether the west really meant what they were promoting. When leaders with my kind of personality got into power, they were oppressed and disgraced by west and their media, while those who have little to no empathy, had little to no creativity, were subject to the west or were west pleasers, more like traitors, were elevated or promoted.. The "leaders" almost cared about nothing except those who worship or love them. Then deterioration or degeneration (which I believe were deliberate because I see it get ignored or promoted by the media) begins, while the media praise the leaders for doing great job and transforming society.

When I became freeman, it occurred to me that the"leaders" were only slaves doing the will of the slave masters who controlled them. So, it's not really them who were messing things up, it was the ones who control them. They were just executing the evil agenda of their masters who dont want the country to have nice environments or hings they have over there, and so that evolution could be proven and it will require their direct intervention to reverse the decay.

Seems they are executing similar agenda in crypto space. From 2020 upward I notice the influx of these kind of people, and things began to degenerate much faster, and I believe it's all deliberate. They hope it will lead to a chaotic space and an eventual intervention by governments to bring "order", but this will only succeed in pseudo crypto space.
I believe or later realized I was made to go through that past traumatizing experience in order to prevent similar one from happening in the future

When it comes to Bitcoin, the primary target should be:
- Those who do (or want to do) the right things that a state or society will likely disallow.
- People who help those that are persecuted by the state for pursuing what is right,  
- Those who could get canceled for refusing to follow the wrong path,
 - Those that want to be independent of a system that will hinder their freedom to do the right things
- The despised/rejects of the state...
 or basically anyone that is at risk of existing, operating or carrying out his moral functions in a state/society controlled by an evil system that could be affected by the functions. ,


It's not normal for people in the above category to be comfortable in the matrix. This is why I tend to see them as people who don't get the idea or people whose main goal is to have fun and make as much money as possible


The primary targets will ofcourse need to be nomads, mobile, anonymous, living in remote areas, doing no evil nor attacking the state/governments, and if possible very transparent about their public activities

A stable coin that derives its price/value from a fiat currency remains a fiat currency and should not be in thesame category with Bitcoin. But if algorithmic, or without corresponding fiat backing,  you can be sure it's fake fiat currency stealing users and value that should go to fiat. By the way, we aren't against fiats or stablecoins having more usage. They are just more convenient and don't require too much responsibility, just like stuff for kids.

Besides, they aren't really crypto unless unique or don't derive their price/value from fiat currencies.  They carry most of the attributes of fiat currencies hence remain centralized, opaque, censorable, trusted, inflationary, etc. Their users need to be really careful for this reason. They shouldn't depend too much on them.

Bitcoin on the other hand is for special kind of people, and they don't compete with fiat currencies for usage. They join this space for fiat alternatives, and likely knew beforehand that fiats are or will always be more attractive to most people  

Well, the purpose of fees is to prevent spam and garbage data of any kind from getting through and affecting the use of Bitcoin for cash related transactions and for lawful purposes, but if that does not succeed, stronger measure should be adopted. Hopefully such measure allows legitimate data that may not necessarily be cash related but is very useful to the network/owner and does not occur frequently

Well, money on its own will always fail unless backed by an infallible CREATOR.
So, it's the infallible ONE rather than Bitcoin that you ascribe that to, without HIM Bitcoin fails.
What you build on solid foundation, like Bitcoin (the system) itself, is bound to be as solid as the foundation it's built on. For example, a house carved entirely out of a rock stays as strong as the rock. When it comes to glorification, it goes to the rock which makes the house strong. The CREATOR is like the rock.

An open secret or a hint to success in Bitcoin is to understand the foundation it's built on. If participants continue to build on the foundation, Bitcoin continues to grow strong, otherwise you become cautious.

This is part of what new participants should be aware of, and ofcourse they need lots of discipline to stick to it.

An ideal Trade by Barter with stores where goods can be swapped for another like instant or decentralized exchanges


Imagine having a barter store where goods and services are exchange for other goods and services rather than for money.

Someone once wondered if it was possible for an economy or society to function properly without money, and I thought it could be done using well functional barter system that allows stores to be collection points for different products which can then be exchanged with customers for goods and services they wish to barter. For example, if you need a bag of rice, and you have a product that is worth a bag of rice, you take it to a barter store where they exchange it for a bag of rice. But if you don't have any product (goods) to exchange for the bag of rice but have skills, talent or service you can provide, you simply go to the store and they pair you with someone who needs the service in exchange for a bag of rice. I think the worth of a bag of rice would be a week or more of work in several countries.
Meanwhile the store acts as escrow for the rice, which is released after the job is completed.

Can this work online?  I think it can, especially if NFTs ( real NFTs) are used. Real NFT is simply a token backed by a product, that can be used to redeem the product in the barter store.
 On a decentralized or even instant exchanges, there could be marketplaces for people to meet to exchange NFTs and redeem their products at physical barter stores worldwide. If you don't have nft, you could be paired with people who need the service you offer and get paid in NFT.

What's your take on this?

You could simply use non-kyc exchanges, such as decentralized or instant exchanges, but you should be aware that dirty/stolen coins are tracked and could be confiscated on even the non-custodial zero kyc exchanges, otherwise you are likely to have zero issue with them.

If you want to be extra careful, you should use certain tools, preferably opensourced, that act as  channels to connect to non-kyc exchanges while protecting your privacy. This still does not prevent dirty/stolen coins from being confisticated

In the Bitcoin consensus rule, the interest of every participant is considered unlike other kind of consensus. Coin takeover or freezing violate the property ownership and censorship resistant principles/rules of Bitcoin
 A user knowing what the rules say sort of agree to them when he joins the network, so the agreement cannot be breached unless the rules are changed with his consent. No planned changes should affect anyone negatively..

51% participants vote according to bitcoin rules otherwise even 1% rule-based voter can successfully reject the votes and prevent then from scaling through

Could depend on how useful AI becomes to the world. I think it would become very useful for the artificial system, but the natural one will become more unpredictable, this is where Bitcoin could easily thrive.
So, it's very likely that this is the time for AI to be more in control of things over there, while Bitcoin would benefit from the increasing instability in natural would.
It's important to note that the usefulness of AI is more restricted to artificial system(not 100% though, since there could be interventions when necessary), while something else rules over natural one.
Nevertheless, you can't be very certain if something else aside AI would change the market dynamics

It would be unreasonable to end up asking for evidence from those you claim depend on Faith rather than proof. The burden of proof is on the ones who rely on proof when it comes to what a religion believes.
 If a religion believes that 5 +5 is 10 and trust that belief, it's left for you to prove it and determine whether it's the true religion or not . If it's proven correct, then you accept the one who come up with that first as the true religion
By the way, the faith of false religions is based on things that aren't accurate, unless they copied from true religion. You can also prove them wrong

Every religion except one is fake. The true one is about freedom. We want everyone to be free, but under the condition that the freedom is used only for good. That's what true religion is all about. And it's good this is enforced by force or through war when necessary otherwise everyone becomes slave to evil. If there are endless attempts to force everyone to be subordinate to evil there will be endless effort to prevent that

The idea behind dressing modestly is to prevent sexual offenses, lawlessness or sin. Sexual lawlessness, like adultery, fornication, porn, masturbation, rape, etc are all sex done outside of its boundary (which is marriage).
Not dressing modestly is one of the causes of this lawlessness, but it's important to understand that in certain culture exposing one's private body parts may not arouse this lawless sexual desire neither is it used for seduction. In that case, it's not a problem unless it start making people to engage in sexual lawlessness, then the ones who dress that way , for the sake of love for those who may become lawless due to their dressing have to cover up, whether the intention for dressing in that manner is innocent or not..
By the way, the intention for dressing in a particular way is the best way to distinguish between those who expose their private body parts to seduce from those who dress innocently. The ones who do it intentionally may be punished while those with innocent intentions may just be respectful advised to cover up, all for the sake of protecting society from sexual lawlessness. But if no one is bothered or negatively affected by the exposed private bodies parts, then the ones who dress in that manner may be left alone.

Well, crypto would be more attractive to thieves due mostly to anonymity it offers. The thieves can easily steal hardware wallets or even private keys at owners home and transfer their coins to addresses with no identifiable owners, unlike in digital fiat world where identification is required to own an account.

Anonymity also benefits innocent crypto users because the thieves won't be able to have access to their real identities that reveal their locations where they could go to steal their coins they probably revealed publicly.

If you are dealing with bitcoins you can't afford to lose, be sure to minimize the amount of private information you reveal publicly or handover to strangers.

Depends on the kind of seperation, and who is influencing the child. There are temporal and permanent seperations. The former is allowed as long as infedelity does not take place. The latter ruins it all and will most likely and negatively affect a child that is influenced by any parent who accepts the seperation and marry another man or woman. It's better to stay unmarried and sexually pure in such situation in order not to become an infidel and transfer its bad consequences to the child who is influenced by you.


Ofcourse, a child will likely be like the parent that has the most influence in his life. If the parent is good, bad or have certain preferences, the child will likely be like that. But kids tend to be drawn to parent they share thesame natural mindsets/personalities with. However,  marriage in love makes both parents share or eventually share similar mindset since they have become one flesh.
 It's important the child is  mostly influenced by the one who is more moral. But a balanced influence(good influence) from both parents is better, otherwise the child may tilt towards the one with most influence and won't have the right balance he/she needs in life

The knowledge has been passed to relevant members. Not for those who don't really belong here nor understand the idea behind Bitcoin

The Nations are passing laws that will likely draw their people into a system that contradicts Bitcoin ideals. It's about protecting their own interest rather than the interest of true cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
So, this isn't really bullish sign since the laws won't be encouraging development on crypto ideals such as decentralization, self-custody, transparency, immutability, censorship resistant, trustlessness, permissionless, privacy, deflation, etc.  If you carefully consider what the laws seek to achieve you will probably realize that they will be contrary to all the ideals listed above, which are where the value of Bitcoin lies. It will encourage the spread of exchanges or platforms that wont be decentralized, transparent, self-custodial, censorship resistant, trustless, privacy-friendly and could aswell be used to print fake bitcoins/satoshis to users.

When checking for bullish signs, you should look out for fundamentals that are tied to the ideals rather than those that contradict them. The values are in the ideals, and building on them is what makes Bitcoin more valuable or bullish.
