Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

What was the saying again?

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win they join you.

I guess we're now and the end of fighting and the beginning of winning/them joining:

Germany’s largest banking institution, Deutsche Bank, has reportedly applied for a digital asset custody license to the country’s financial regulator, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, or BaFin, in a bid to expand its revenue streams, Bloomberg reported.
..
While Deutsche Bank has been critical of Bitcoin and the crypto market’s volatility over the past few years, its tone toward the industry has altered in 2023. In February, Deutsche Bank Singapore, in partnership with Memento Blockchain, successfully completed trials for a tokenized investment platform called Project DAMA (Digital Assets Management Access).

Not that I'd endorse 3rd party custody of coins but experience tells me, self custody is not for everyone and it certainly means more adoption.

Billions don't make you happy inside, they also don't give your life a (better) meaning.
No matter how much worth people had, some ended their life through suicide.

Hmm, I do believe that inner peace is important but sometimes it makes me really curious that a poor always anticipate money can fix everything which is also a familiar fact.
It really depends on the people in your circle.

To live peacefully we don't need Billions of Millions
Reflection of Million and Billion never let you live peacefully.

.... it also means more paper Bitcoin = a lot of fake adoption

i was reading this thread from starting (just for fun),
i seen users which are  the lucky early adopters and they are now millionaires, even billionaires now.

Lucky? Some call it foresight.

Patience has a lot to do with it too.

  Without even considering the temptation for many to buy pizza and lambos with their bitcoin on the way up, there was much adversity for early adopters to wade through.  Luck was not an option and sadly, many did not make through unscathed.  I'm glad for the few stalwarts in this thread who were like pillars of support and advice and also for those who were the exact opposite who provided excellent examples of how not to proceed.  I'm not going to name names - you know who you are (not all are still active) and I thank you.

Unscathed? I  still have my BTC baseball caps. What I spent on them would buy a car now, or some land in Mexico.

Think of all the fortunes spent on alpaca socks.

Discipline too, becoming a millionaire requires financial discipline, and if these became millionaires and billionaires from early adoption, it is also because they are very disciplined financially.

At least baseball caps don't become obsolete like DVDs or dollars.

True. especially since hair loss is progressing with age ...   

But I must say about once in a year I rip a CD with that luxury DVD burner ...

just reading this thread from starting (for fun) and i discovered this user loaded,

he bought BTC80,000 for $1million,  and today these coins are worth billions of dollars, and not sold yet, he is hodling.

(if you want to see assets, then go to his profile and you will see his address, which is mixed after sometimes, but after clicking some next>next>next address you can find his some initial address which balance worth billions.

Pretty sure most OG's on this thread are well aware of the "loaded" story.
He stole "acquired" his coins thru a vulnerability on Silk Road.  He got busted...old news, Google it.

and it was just talked about in the WO a few weeks/months ago

that guy doesn't really seem to read this thread...

[d_eddie]

To be fair, reading it all from the start is an impossible endeavor.

EDIT - Meanwhile, 27.3k.

But careful: there are options expiring next Friday, we could see a yuuge red candle just before expiry.
