Moreovet, that photo was posted by Bitcoin's official handle on X, I see you sent me a link but I don't think you're ready to teach regardless of being a high ranking member cause you find it difficult to understand simple statements.

Bitcoin official X handle? WTF? I didn't know Satoshi got X handle.

Just send me the link or post it here, every forum member wants to know what Satoshi is doing.

I'm really suprised that a Bitcoiner, not just a Bitcoiner but a hero member is saying this,  for your information mate Bitcoin has an account on X that's verified and it's been existing since 2011, anyways there's no point for an argument, we learn everyday, here's the link you asked for.

I hate to break it to you, but Bitcoin does not have an "official account" on X, even if it is verified. The owner of that account is most likely just another bitcoin enthusiast. You can ask other forum members here about it and the majority of them will say that Bitcoin does not have an "official account" on X.

Sorry, but I don’t think that photo fits Bitcoin. The snail is all about slow and steady, but Bitcoin is anything but that.

Yeah, I totally agree with this, Bitcoin's price literally went from $0 to $108k(at its all-time high) in 15 years, and then, couple that with some wild fluctuation in its price, I wouldn't really call that slow and steady.

It might not be as slow as it seems, but bitcoin has shown a steady growth over the years. The images isn't trying to say that bitcoin is a slow investment, but from what you said 15 years, any investor who held his coins for that number of years without doubt, now would be enjoying the fruits of his courage to hold and build his investments over time. Bitcoin is the best longer profit yield investment one could ever put his money into. If they are not patient then they should not bother them selfs with investing bitcoins.

 So if you're thinking of going into Bitcoin with the thought of making quick cash then you must be joking cause you'll end up getting disappointed, the best you can do is buy and hold for the future then watch is grow gradually for years, it's a very good investment opportunity with a slow but steady process.
 

anyone who invests their money in bitcoin with the hope that they can make money very quickly will only disappoint themselves in the end because they do not have good knowledge about it and they are very likely to lose their money. what they should do is find out more about bitcoin, understand the risks, learn investment methods such as dollar-cost averaging, and manage their finances. this is the right way to invest in bitcoin, not just follow others, buy bitcoin, and then hope to get rich in a short time. all of that should be done without rushing.. just think of it as building wealth for yourself in the long term.

 Just like snail in the photo, the process of Bitcoin's growth might be slow but it's very steady regardless of how volatile it is, Bitcoin is not like other ones that would pump so high then suddenly lose track and dump so badly then cause people who take the risk to invest in it to regret, those who invest in Bitcoin and hold it for very long and allow it to grow slow and steadily have never regretted doing that, the only complains I've seen concerning Bitcoin are that of critics who think investing in it is a waste of time but it's given many of them the benefits of doubt over the years and I believe it would keep doing better.

You're actually right because Bitcoin has showed gradual and steady growth rate over time making it the best crypto currency Bitcoin growth to this present point has been like that of a snake movement as it has slowly moved to greater heights since from inception Bitcoin is the best crypto currency that has been adopted with the highest number of person's today in the world today.



Bitcoin investment is an investment for the future so any one coming into crypto currency especially Bitcoin should have this knowledge as it will be of benefit because holding is the key to Bitcoin investment because just few weeks ago Bitcoin price was down below $70k but as of today Bitcoin is almost $100k dollar and those who sold their Bitcoin asserts due to fear has lost and will be regretting their decision to sell

[Botnake]

Bitcoin’s progress may seem too slow for those who are rushing to make profits. But for those who are committed to hold their coins for long term, bitcoin movement is just right, not to mention the price fluctuations that could appear from time to time due to its volatility nature.

Those who are patient will definitely make it work if they invest into bitcoin, but those who only want quick and short-term profits, stay away from bitcoin as it will only make you desperate and get tired in the process.

As I said higher rank doesn't mean they know everything.

An account that is verified on X doesn't mean it's official account and for the record Bitcoin can't have an official one because it's not a company neither an individual driven, so what you see is popular crypto account that is run by group of individuals.

To compare that, Bitcointalk is OG place created by Satoshi and today me, you and a lot others are discussing about bitcoin here which doesn't mean whatever I wrote here is the actual fact that anyone should accept as what it is.

Findingnemo there is no need to banta worlds with the ops, is clear from the uncent that he knows nothing about what he is saying, from the look of things, this dude is carried away with social media information and activities and taking them as reality without any possible fact check from his end, this is quite unfortunate, despite how we always advice that users never to take whatever they read online as fact and that they should do extra though deligence fact check.

Historically, the first time bitcoin was traded was in July 2010 and its price fluctuated between $0.0008 and $0.08. If we compare it to the ATH that bitcoin reached at $108k, it has increased more than 13 million times in just 16 years. I don't think this is slow growth and comparing bitcoin's growth rate to that of a snail is inappropriate.

Also, we always say that bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. Yes, it is not a get rich quick investment when compared to altcoins, memes, but is it right when compared to traditional investments like gold, real estate? If bitcoin grew slowly and steadily like gold, would we still invest in bitcoin? We should be realistic and honest with each other. Bitcoin is cyclical and that makes it more of a speculative form, and we all take advantage of that to enrich ourselves, isn't that a get rich quick scheme?

[michellee]

Bitcoin need process to be mainstream and it is on the right way and path so it is no problem if the growing is slowly. But once more people sees what benefit of Bitcoin to them, they will not wait too long and will join into Bitcoin like others. The thing is we don't have to listen to others about Bitcoin, lets them speak about the negative of Bitcoin or else because they don't know much about Bitcoin.

When Bitcoin soar to the highest price, they will see how strong Bitcoin are so that will open their eyes and minds and they will research before they decide to join. We need to tell to them that investing in Bitcoin is not a way to make money fast or get rich overnight but we prepare our future with Bitcoin investment. We can explain that by showing the Bitcoin journey so they will see how and what Bitcoin already did before.

It truly has been slow and steady but it was a slow and awesome run up to 100k and now it's about to go past and break a new ATH Lord willing 🙏🙏🙏

Bitcoin price has risen from $0 to $100k in just 16 years, making millions of dollars in profits for many early investors. I don't think it's a slow and steady process, and frankly, it's a get rich quick process.

Also, if bitcoin grows slowly and steadily, it will not be considered a risky and volatile investment, or uncertain future. Even though we are bitcoin investors, we need to be realistic that bitcoin is a volatile investment that can bring high returns but also high risks.


In the animal world, slugs are considered the slowest land animals, moving at only about 0.013 m/s (about 4.7 m/h). This is in stark contrast to the insane growth of bitcoin.

Just like the snail, bitcoin might be slow but it must surely arrive. The image of the bitcoin snail to me explains the idea of DCA in bitcoin. When you are accumulating with the DCA method, it will look as if nothing is happening (your portfolio is not increasing), but over the years you will beginning to see the difference. You will look at your portfolio and have a good chuckle.
People who comes to bitcoin with high expectations are always the people who are disappointed in the end when their expectations are not met.
Gone are the days (early days), where a little investment in bitcoin can turn you and overnight millionaire. This time, you have to be patient and work more hard to enjoy the dividends of bitcoin.

That is really good comparison thinking of Bitcoin like snail that moves slowly but surely explains how DCA works. When we buy little amount of Bitcoin regularly it may look like nothing is happening and our money is not growing fast. But if we will not stop buying for many years we will see big difference.
You are also right that people who expect to get rich quickly with Bitcoin mostly end up remain sad when it does not happen. In early days of Bitcoin we could invest small amount and become millionaire fast. But unfortunately those days are over now. Now we need to be patient and work hard to earn money and we should buy Bitcoin slowly over time. That is how we can see good results in long run.

This is just the obvious truth and reality that some investors are hiding from. I usually tell those around me who come for investment advice that if they are going to DCA or even buy a lump sum, they should not expect returns immediately or even in the next few months. They just have to give their investment the opportunity to move up slowly but steadily, just like the snail. The good thing about it is that they can never go wrong with investing in bitcoin, only if they have patience, a steady source of income somewhere else, and some level of self-control to prevent greed from getting in the way. Bitcoin investment is not like altcoin investment, which is way riskier. Here, you have the full assurance of being in safe hands only if you do the right thing.

It's risky to think that you can see an official account of Bitcoin anywhere, any account found on any social media platform is either the account is owned by a scammer or a bitcoin enthusiast as you clearly stated. Satoshi's account exited here but ever since he left the forum no one have had access to him or know his way about so he can't own any social media account since he is maintaining his privacy.

For others though, it's not enough, they really need to see the price going to above $100k, just like what we are expecting since the last week of April and this month. Others are shouting that we should be in that range already.

But there's no other asset in the world that really went just like that for just 16 years. think about it.

In the animal world, slugs are considered the slowest land animals, moving at only about 0.013 m/s (about 4.7 m/h). This is in stark contrast to the insane growth of bitcoin.

That's why there are so many wrong in that image though, it's not even comparable to slugs are Bitcoin is really moving very fast in this cycle alone. It's just sad that someone will have to show this image to us.

BTC is obviously not a get rich quick scheme as a lot of people think it is, this is the reason why many gullible investors choose memecoins over it, they prefer to go for pump and dump coins in the believe that it will make them rich, however, what they get is the opposite, as they enrich the creators of the shitcoin and lose their own money. I'll always recommend BTC over any cryptocurrency, because of its utility, but weak hands never seem to be patient enough to hold it and stay in the network.

Bitcoin has grown millions of percent in just over a decade, so it's not wrong to say that it was once a get-rich-quick scheme. Or people who make millions of dollars from a few hundred dollars might call it that. But that is not true these days, Bitcoin is no longer going up millions of percent and giving huge returns, those days are gone. That is also one of the reasons why many people do not want to invest in bitcoin but instead pour money into memecoins in the hope that one of them can repeat what bitcoin did.

I disagree if OP think that the Bitcoin growth process is slow, in fact Bitcoin's growth is very fast I think, and I see this based on the comparison between the growth of XAU or gold and BTC or Bitcoin.

From the chart that we can see between BTC and XAU, and if we look starting from March 1, 2017 until this current post, we can see that BTC's growth is much higher than XAU's growth. And I think this can prove that Bitcoin has very fast growth, I made this comparison because I often hear people who like to compare Bitcoin with Gold. And this is also what makes me sure that Bitcoin will reach the Gold market cap and even surpass it in the future, sooner or later.
