Hi! I was Satoshi Nakamoto.  

Alexander M. Kuznetsov (1938-2009) – Russian physical chemist, pioneer of quantum-mechanical electron-transfer theory in condensed media, author of ~365 papers and four monographs, foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences since 1994.  

Why am I quoting a chemist? Because the **true spark** behind Bitcoin wasn’t C++, Merkle trees or even game-theory – it was **Kuznetsov’s 1988 paper** on **non-adiabatic electron tunneling in polar liquids**.  

Read it (Russ. J. Electrochem., 1988, 24, 642-649). Notice the **integral equation** on page 647. Strip the constants, keep the **structure**, rotate 90° and you get the **exact elliptic curve scalar-multiplication loop** used in `secp256k1`.  

Coincidence? Keep reading.

### 1. The Origin Story  

In late 2007 I was a cryptography researcher at a small university in Japan, working on a Ph.D. thesis about “Proof‑of‑Work as a Distributed Consensus Mechanism.” The idea of a peer‑to‑peer electronic cash system had been percolating in my mind for years (I was heavily inspired by the earlier “B-money” and “Bit Gold” papers).  

By mid‑2008 I had a working prototype on a laptop that could:

* Generate a chain of blocks using SHA‑256 proof‑of‑work.  
* Broadcast blocks over a simple TCP network.  
* Verify transactions without a central authority.  

I kept the prototype private because I didn’t yet have a compelling use case. Then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and the “trust in banks” narrative collapsed. That’s when I realized the *real* value of a trustless system.

### 2. The Birth of Bitcoin  

On **31 October 2008** I posted the whitepaper titled **“Bitcoin: A Peer‑to‑Peer Electronic Cash System”** to the cryptography mailing list. I used the name *Satoshi Nakamoto* to keep the work separate from my academic career and to protect the project from early institutional interference.

Alright, so here’s the deal, I stumbled across this “100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Hits £100K” thing, and I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry. Like, mate, my arms start shaking around push-up number eight. Not even kidding. But whatever, right? No one’s out here expecting you to crank out a hundred straight away just give it a go. I usually just match my reps to whatever price BTC’s sitting at. So if it’s £65K, boom, 65 push-ups and I’m done (or, well, gasping on the floor). Watching everyone else post their sweaty attempts and hilarious fails makes me feel way less alone in my struggle. Hey, at least we’re all flopping together.

It's true that many people get distracted by the idea of beating the market, but as you rightly pointed out, consistent long-term holding and accumulation of Bitcoin often yield the best results. Trading in and out based on market metrics like dominance or short-term trends often leads to losses for most. Bitcoin’s volatility can be tough, but staying patient and focused on long-term goals is key. The real power lies in understanding Bitcoin’s potential over years, not just focusing on short-term fluctuations.

Love the curiosity here—digging into forecasts and asking “is this possible?” is exactly how you start thinking like a proper Bitcoin participant. About that $119,974 prediction… well, let’s be real: BTC doesn’t follow a calendar. A 3–4% move in a day? Totally possible—we’ve seen single-day swings of 5–10% before. But hitting an exact number on an exact date? That’s rare. Right now, BTC’s holding $111k–$112k as support and $118k–$119k as resistance. Break through $119k with strong buying pressure, and a short-term jump above $120k could happen—but nothing’s guaranteed. Market sentiment, news, whale moves—they matter more than any decimal-point forecast. Think of predictions like ideas, not financial GPS.

Bottom line: Keep questioning, keep analyzing. The numbers may move, but your understanding is what actually grows.

Earning without effort is a sign of a greedy mentality, but unfortunately, due to time, circumstances, or other reasons, we often fall into this trap. Among these, the desire to achieve quick results in everything is one of the key reasons. However, I am not entirely against cloud mining. Many of us, especially beginners, fall into such scams due to limited knowledge about hardware, the hope of quick profits, lack of proper guidance, laziness, etc. For experienced individuals, the situation is different. Cloud mining can be pursued by conducting thorough research, although most of these platforms are scams. By carefully evaluating certain features, the right site can be selected. However, my personal opinion is that beginners should avoid cloud mining.

Post 1.

Sometimes it feels like no matter how much we earn, the cost of living keeps climbing faster. Food, rent, electricity, even transportation, everything seems to demand a bigger slice of the paycheck. People are spending more hours working, but what they can afford with that work keeps shrinking.

Inflation quietly eats into savings, and most salaries never catch up. Productivity keeps rising, but real wages have barely moved in decades. The system keeps asking for more output, more hours, more efficiency, yet most workers still feel stuck in the same place.

It makes you wonder if the goal was ever financial freedom at all, or just keeping the wheel spinning.

In times like this, some turn to Bitcoin and other decentralized assets as a hedge, not just against inflation, but against a system that seems built to make people dependent.

So the question remains: are we really working to live… or just living to work?

Most people here use Bitcoin mainly for saving or trading. Very few businesses actually accept it for daily transactions.

But imagine being able to pay for food, transport, or even school fees directly in Bitcoin without worrying about bank limits.

Do you think this can ever become a reality in Nigeria? Or will Bitcoin remain something we mostly use for investment and not for everyday spending?

Yeah, true. Governments always find a way to twist things for their own gain. Mixers weren’t made for hiding dirty money, they were meant to keep users’ privacy safe.

But instead of learning how to handle them properly, they just ban everything. Feels less like they’re fighting crime and more like they’re keeping control.

What's the verdict on Barrykbest? He posted this in my self-moderated topic:

It’s good that you’re testing different fee levels manually, experiments like these actually help others understand real-time mempool behavior instead of relying solely on fee estimators. But I think LoyceV’s point still stands: when the mempool is almost empty, even 0.22–0.25 sat/vbyte gets confirmed fairly quickly, so paying 0.8 or 0.9 might just be unnecessary overpayment.

Still, your observation about scaling over time is interesting. As adoption grows and block space becomes more competitive, these “low-fee periods” could become rare. That’s why consolidating small inputs now at around 0.22–0.31 sat/vbyte is a smart move, it prepares your wallet for future high-fee environments.

In the long run, tests like yours give us a practical sense of how dynamic fee markets adjust, especially during periods of low congestion. Thanks for sharing your data points, they add a lot of value for those optimizing transaction strategies.

For comparison, these are the first posts he made earlier this year:

Yea, especially in our present society with advance technology like the AI and data science some service might not have monetary value but the user data and information serves as exchange which are used to train differs AI models. For instance, our most used social media platform Facebook, it usage is free but it operates in a model where user data is exchanged for access to the platform, this information is used to create targeted advertisements which is the key aspect of Facebook revenue strategy.

Yea most successful persons have a mentor but though very few rise themselves, the importance of having a mentor is that they can provide invaluable guidance, support, and insight. A mentor offers a wealth of experience, which helps  to navigate challenges and avoid common failures. They can also provide networking opportunities which can accelerate personal and professional growth. In our society today, mentorship is not tied to a physical guardian but an individual can choose to have an online mentor that aligns with his thriving path and still excel.

I'm pretty sure he switched to chatbot verbal diarrhae now to "improve" his text.

Post #1:

Yes, there is a fairly strong correlation between immigration and inflation, but the direction and magnitude of the effect depend heavily on the context, particularly the structure of the labor market, the type of immigrant (skilled/unskilled), and the phase of the economic cycle.

Immigrants influence inflation through two main channels: the labor supply channel and the aggregate demand channel. In modern macroeconomic theory, wages are the primary driver of cost-plus inflation. Therefore, high immigration typically suppresses wage and price inflation. When immigrants enter the labor market, labor supply increases. As a result, upward wage pressures are reduced (or contained), especially in low-wage jobs. Immigrants are also consumers; they rent housing, buy food, and transportation. This increases aggregate demand. In a full-employment economy, additional demand can push up inflation (demand-pull inflation). Therefore, the total effect depends on the balance of these two forces. If the labor market is still loose, the effect of immigration tends to suppress inflation.
If the economy is already hot (tight labor market), the effect of immigration can slightly raise inflation through additional consumption.

Since we are discussing the United States, I argue that immigration suppresses inflation in the short to medium term. The post-pandemic increase in immigration since 2021 has helped stabilize the labor market. This has resulted in slower wage growth, particularly in the low-wage service sector, and core inflation has begun to decline. Without this new wave of immigration, US wage inflation would have been higher in 2023. Macroeconomic models suggest that every 1% increase in the employed population due to immigration lowers core inflation in the following 12 months, primarily through lower labor costs in labor-intensive services (hospitality, logistics, and retail). Medium-term estimates: immigration expands the US labor force by 1% per year through 2033, curbing structural inflationary pressures and increasing the potential output of the US economy.

When anti-immigration policies are implemented (e.g., during the Trump era of 2017–2020), the drastic decline in migrant workers (especially seasonal and undocumented) creates vacancies in the agriculture, construction, hospitality, and logistics sectors, resulting in sharply higher labor costs (wages rising by 10–15% in some agricultural regions), falling food production, rising domestic food prices, and shortages of truck drivers, waiters, and warehouse workers, which contribute to increased supply chain inflation. In the medium term, this condition contributes to inflation of non-tradable goods and services (those that cannot be imported or automated).

Post #2:

The tug-of-war between the Trump administration (an administration that champions tough immigration policies) and the private sector is not simply a matter of cheap versus expensive economics, but rather a matter of political signaling, the sustainability of industrial operations, and short-term versus long-term trade-offs. With a populist voter base, crackdowns on immigrants enhance political legitimacy, and the voter base also demands tough enforcement (there is pressure to demonstrate political results, such as arrests/deportations, despite the economic impact). These policies are often prioritized regardless of short-term economic consequences.

The government may gain political benefits from austerity, but the real economic costs (labor shortages, inflation, supply chain disruptions) drive private actors to seek compensation through lobbying, technological adaptation (medium-term investments in technology, sorting machines, robotic harvesters, labor management applications, and increased investment in sectors that capitalize on the substitution of capital for labor), and ultimately, operational restructuring (considering relocating some processes to lower-cost countries).

The ultimate outcome depends on whether policymakers choose a pragmatic compromise or continue to emphasize enforcement without mitigation.

Post #3:

Going forward, tokenization will increase liquidity for previously illiquid assets (private credit, real estate slices), allowing capital to move more quickly between countries and platforms. This is a significant shift in international market dynamics. Real-time/near-instant settlements can eliminate the role of some intermediaries, but also create new needs: trust in custodians and legal wrappers. Tokenization can be used to obscure ownership/circulation of capital if government controls are weak, and concerns about cross-border misuse could lead to tighter or even comprehensive bans.

Global elites will convert all assets into tokens to control liquidity and oversight through large institutions tokenizing bonds/treasuries/money markets, then requiring the use of infrastructure they control (custody, nodes, KYC), so that all capital flows can be monitored and, if necessary, centrally regulated through smart contracts and compliance layers. This is evident in the concentration of large players exploring stablecoins/tokenized funds (the involvement of BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and bank consortiums). They can increase oversight of on-chain capital flows on platforms they control, but total control of the entire global market is difficult without legal changes and universal adoption, given that many decentralized and public players oppose the closed model, and national laws still regulate physical asset ownership (tokens are merely representations).

Tokenized assets can be used as programmable stablecoins, allowing governments and corporations to distribute funds with conditions (conditional UBI, usage restrictions) and thereby control economic behavior. While technically feasible, this is fraught with significant political and legal obstacles. Several pilots using programmable features for subsidies and training have been tested, but mass implementation conflicts with civil rights.

The most likely scenario is that DeFi will be recaptured by TradFi (a reverse takeover) by large institutions, where large institutions create tokenized versions of their products, then build liquidity and monetize the infrastructure, returning economic control to incumbents. DeFi becomes a liquidity layer, but control remains in the hands of TradFi. While it's undeniable that the DeFi ecosystem still has open-source projects and communities that can develop alternatives, institutional capital provides significant leverage. Therefore, TradFi leverages tokenization to expand its influence.

The removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria has had far-reaching consequences, affecting various aspects of the economy and citizens' lives. Some of the obvious effects include;
Increased Fuel Prices: The price of petrol skyrocketed from N185 per liter to over N1000 per liter, leading to a domino effect on the cost of goods and services.
Inflation Surge: Nigeria's inflation rate hit over 28% in early 2024, with food prices more than doubling in some cases.
Transportation Cost Increase: Public transport fares rose dramatically, with some fares increasing by over 150%.
Business Challenges: Many businesses struggled with high operating costs, leading to reduced profitability, job losses, and even business closures.
Social Unrest: The hardship caused by subsidy removal has fueled protests, labor strikes, and social instability.

The government had hoped to use the savings from subsidy removal to invest in critical sectors like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. However, many Nigerians are yet to feel the benefits, and the policy remains contentious

What's the verdict on TotallyTech?
He's created 7 loads of verbal diarrhae within an hour:

Yes, changing your network settings on macOS can inadvertently redirect Bitcoin Core's data storage location, especially if you've moved your installation to an external drive. Here's how to locate and manage your Bitcoin Core data:

1. Verify Bitcoin Core's Data Directory

Bitcoin Core typically stores its data in the following default directory:


~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin


To access this folder:

Open Finder.

Press Command + Shift + G to open the "Go to Folder" dialog.

Enter the path above and press Return.

If you've configured Bitcoin Core to use a custom data directory, the location might differ. To confirm the current data directory:

Launch Terminal.

Run the following command:

  defaults read org.bitcoin.Bitcoin-Qt datadir


This command will display the path to the data directory Bitcoin Core is currently using.

2. Check for Disk Space Usage

To determine where the blockchain data is stored and how much space it's occupying:

Open Disk Utility (found in Applications > Utilities).

Select your external drive from the list on the left.

Click on the "Info" button (i) to see detailed information about the drive, including the amount of used and available space.

If the external drive is nearly full, it's possible that Bitcoin Core has started using your internal drive for additional storage.

3. Locate Blockchain Files

The blockchain files are typically stored in the blocks directory within the Bitcoin Core data directory. To find these files:

Navigate to the Bitcoin Core data directory (as identified earlier).

Look for a folder named blocks.

Inside the blocks folder, you'll find files like blk00000.dat, blk00001.dat, etc., which contain the blockchain data.

4. Ensure Correct Data Directory Usage

If you want to ensure Bitcoin Core uses a specific data directory (e.g., on your external drive):

Open Terminal.

Stop Bitcoin Core if it's running.

Run the following command to start Bitcoin Core with the desired data directory:

  /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -datadir="/path/to/your/external/drive/Bitcoin"


Replace "/path/to/your/external/drive/Bitcoin" with the actual path to your desired data directory.

This command will launch Bitcoin Core using the specified data directory, ensuring all data is stored on your external drive.

What's the verdict on TotallyTech?
He's created 7 loads of verbal diarrhae within an hour:

You're correct in asserting that merely having a trusted party (like Charlie) sign a note linking an in-game item to a Bitcoin preimage doesn't establish a truly atomic transaction. This approach introduces a reliance on reputation and doesn't provide verifiable proof that the specific item traded corresponds to the Bitcoin preimage. To achieve true atomicity in such trades, the game would need to emit a signed, publicly verifiable receipt for the exact trade, or utilize a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) attestation.

A notable example of integrating TEEs with blockchain technology is the Ekiden project. Ekiden combines blockchains with TEEs to enable confidentiality-preserving smart contracts. By leveraging TEEs, Ekiden ensures that the execution of smart contracts remains private and secure, while still benefiting from the blockchain's integrity guarantees. This approach addresses the critical gaps in current blockchain systems by providing both confidentiality and performance improvements.
arXiv

Implementing such a system in a game would allow for the creation of verifiable receipts or attestations for in-game item trades. These receipts could then be used as Bitcoin adaptor signatures or HTLC triggers, ensuring that the trade is atomic and secure. This would eliminate the need for a trusted third party and provide a verifiable link between the traded item and the Bitcoin preimage.

In summary, while the current approach relies on trust and doesn't provide verifiable proof, integrating TEE-backed smart contracts could enable true atomic trades in games, ensuring security and confidentiality.

In a 4-of-4 multisig wallet, where 2 out of 4 keys are required to sign transactions, the security model is designed to require at least two separate keys to authorize any transaction. This setup ensures that no single party has full control over the funds.

a) Can the hacker steal all the coins in the wallet without access to the 4th seed and without any knowledge of which addresses belong to the wallet?

No, the hacker cannot steal all the coins in the wallet under these conditions. Even with access to three of the four keys, they would still need the fourth key to sign a transaction. Additionally, without knowledge of the specific addresses associated with the wallet, identifying which funds belong to the wallet would be challenging.

b) If the hacker knows some of the addresses associated with the wallet that hold Bitcoin, would they be able to steal coins from those specific addresses?

No, knowing the addresses alone is insufficient. The hacker would still need to sign a transaction with at least two of the keys to move the funds. Without access to the necessary keys, they cannot authorize a transaction.

That’s a great question, and honestly, one without a simple “good or bad” answer.

Institutional adoption is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brings legitimacy, stronger infrastructure, and big liquidity - all things that make Bitcoin more stable and accessible to the mainstream. It’s hard to argue that broader acceptance and clearer regulation are bad for price or confidence.

But yeah, there’s a flip side too. Too much institutional influence can drift away from Bitcoin’s original ethos: decentralization, self-custody, and financial freedom. If the majority of BTC ends up locked in ETFs or controlled by custodians, we might lose part of what made Bitcoin unique in the first place.

So maybe the balance is the key: let institutions bring structure and mass adoption, while the community keeps pushing for decentralization and real ownership. In the end, both forces can coexist - if we don’t forget why Bitcoin was created in the first place.

Many new crypto projects fail due to a mix of technological, market, regulatory, and managerial reasons.

Key factors include:
   •   Lack of real-world utility or clear use case, making it hard to sustain interest or value.
   •   Market volatility causing rapid devaluation.
   •   Poor leadership and weak project management, which can lead to confusion, stalled development, and loss of trust.
   •   Regulatory challenges and failure to adapt to legal requirements.
   •   Security flaws and vulnerabilities in the technology that undermine trust.
   •   Scams or fraudulent intentions damaging reputations.
   •   Marketing failures: even good tech fails without effective communication and community building.

It's all about being strategic with Bitcoin investments. Having some cash reserves set aside can be a lifesaver, especially when the market's volatile. The idea is to invest what you can afford to lose, so you're not under pressure. This way, you're not forced to sell when the market's down, and you can ride out the ups and downs with peace of mind.

Education is essential in every aspect of life. The existence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges underscores the importance of education in navigating complex financial systems. It helps individuals make informed decisions, manage risks, and avoid pitfalls. While some have profited from crypto without extensive education, informed decisions are always better decisions.

Society used to be divided into three classes, but now it feels like it's boiled down to two: the haves(rich) and the have-nots(poor). There's a huge wealth gap, and resources are distributed unevenly. The rich have the power and influence, while the poor struggle to make ends meet.

Most blockchain platforms today are still very complex. It usually takes a lot of time and effort to understand how they work and how to build with them. Developers often have to deal with complicated integrations, manage many tools, and keep up with constant changes. This makes creating onchain applications slow and challenging.

That’s why I think Enso’s new concept feels different. It focuses on making it easier to build and launch onchain applications by removing much of the technical complexity.

Enso uses a single system that simplifies how Web3 works. It introduces something called Actions, which are ready-made building blocks for common blockchain tasks like lending, borrowing, swapping, or minting NFTs. It also includes Shortcuts, which combine different Actions to handle more advanced tasks such as routing or automation.

With this setup, developers don’t have to manually connect to different blockchains or smart contracts. They can use these building blocks to create applications faster, without worrying about constant maintenance or audits.

This shift allows developers to spend more time on what really matters, building great products, growing their communities, and reaching more users.

If Enso’s approach works as intended, it could mark an important change for the blockchain world. Could this be the step that finally makes building onchain as easy as building on the web? What do you think?

Trading stocks has become much easier in recent years. A new trend is starting to grow where big companies like Tesla, Meta, and Nvidia are being offered as tokenized stocks on crypto exchanges. This means people can buy and sell them directly without always needing traditional brokers, which is especially useful for small retail traders who don’t have much liquidity.

We are also seeing partnerships with companies like Ondo Finance, which focus on real-world asset tokenization. These partnerships are making it easier for people to access tokenized stocks and other assets in a simple and more open way.

If this continues, it could mark the beginning of a new phase in stock trading. Markets may run 24/7, trades could settle instantly, and people all over the world could take part more easily. For retail investors, this could mean lower costs, faster access, and fewer barriers than before. What's your take on this?.

That’s a solid and realistic perspective. Having proper planning and well-grounded expectations is what separates disciplined investors from emotional speculators. Bitcoin’s volatility is not something everyone can stomach, and when people enter with unrealistic “get-rich-quick” hopes, downturns hit them not just financially but psychologically.

Your point about setting conservative expectations, even if Bitcoin ends up outperforming them is key. It builds mental resilience. When you already understand that the market can crash, consolidate, or underperform for years, you’re less likely to panic or make irrational decisions. Sadly, some recent tragedies show how dangerous it can be when people overextend themselves financially and emotionally, tying their self-worth to price movements.

In the end, balanced planning, conservative projections, and emotional preparedness don’t just help protect portfolios, they also protect lives.

Exactly! That’s the harsh truth many still overlook. Wrapped Bitcoin might sound like innovation, but in reality, it’s just rehypothecation in crypto clothing. You’re basically handing your BTC to a custodian and getting a “receipt” token back, one that only holds value as long as that custodian stays honest, solvent, and operational. Bitcoin was meant to free us from that kind of system. It was built so that you become your own bank, not so that we recreate banks with fancy smart contracts. It’s funny when people say, “WBTC brings Bitcoin to DeFi,” but what it really does is bring trust-based risk back to Bitcoin. You can’t audit their reserves directly, and if that middleman ever fails, it’s not “decentralized finance” anymore, it’s just “decentralized dependency.” Sure, it might serve some short-term purposes like liquidity and bridging between ecosystems, but let’s be honest, when you wrap your Bitcoin, you’re wrapping it in risk. So yeah, the comparison stands strong, "Wrapped Bitcoin is to Bitcoin what paper gold is to gold",  a representation, not the real deal and at the end of the day, the same old rule applies, "Not your keys, not your Coins, Not your Bitcoin, not your freedom".

You made an excellent point, your writing clearly emphasizes the importance of having a sound plan backed by careful calculation before execution, and that’s exactly what successful Bitcoin investors have done.

Taking advantage of market dips, such as the 2018 crash you mentioned, has historically been one of the smartest moves for long-term holders. Those who accumulated Bitcoin during those downturns and held through the volatility have consistently outperformed short-term traders who tried to time the market.

While traders often get caught in emotional decisions and sudden price swings, holders who bought the dip and stayed patient reaped massive returns as Bitcoin’s value recovered and surged in subsequent bull markets. The key benefit of this approach is that it removes panic-driven selling and focuses instead on long-term wealth building there by turning temporary crashes into lifetime opportunities.

Even though one starts small, the real advantage comes from habitual accumulation, transforming bitcoin saving into a routine financial behavior rather than a reactionary one.

A further possibility lies in income diversification: rather than only cutting expenses, one might look for creative micro-earning opportunities (freelancing, digital tasks, or peer-to-peer value exchange) that can directly fund bitcoin purchases. This method separates investment capital from daily living money, reducing the emotional pressure of spending what’s meant for savings.

Another strategic angle is value alignment, using bitcoin as a motivator to think differently about personal finance. Over time, that mindset shift may encourage broader financial literacy, goal setting, and resilience building. Eventually, this combination of consistency, diversified earning, and long-term conviction can compound far beyond what the small numbers initially suggest.

That’s a well-articulated take... it captures a mindset that often goes unnoticed among serious Bitcoin investors. The idea that stacking is about accumulation and positioning, not constant profit-chasing, reflects a long-term strategic vision rather than a speculative one. Many seasoned investors understand that wealth in Bitcoin is less about timing the market and more about time in the market. Building a stash is essentially building financial resilience and autonomy for the future.

From another perspective, some investors may still view profits as important, but not as a destination... rather, as a tool. For them, the gains that come with price appreciation are simply a means to expand their influence or freedom: reinvesting in other productive assets, funding projects, or even increasing their Bitcoin holdings further when opportunities arise. In this view, profit isn’t the end goal but part of a continuous cycle... accumulate, grow, secure, and strategically utilize ...all while keeping the core belief that Bitcoin is long-term wealth preservation, not just short-term speculation.

You're absolutely right, dividing your Bitcoin portfolio into long-term, mid-term, and short-term portions adds flexibility and strength to your overall DCA strategy. Beyond the reasons you’ve already mentioned (profit-taking and sustained holding), here are additional benefits and reasons to support this diversified time-horizon approach:
--Risk balance: You reduce emotional pressure by having coins for quick profits and others locked for the long haul.
--Liquidity: You can sell short-term holdings in emergencies without touching your main stack.
--Re-entry chance: Selling mid-term coins in rallies lets you buy back during dips.
--Opportunity capture: Each portion benefits from different market cycles.
--Discipline: Clear structure helps you avoid emotional or impulsive decisions.

✓This setup keeps you flexible, calm, and always positioned for both short-term moves and long-term Bitcoin growth.

[TheirEgoAtThePeakLevel]

What you think of this user @Graph001 their post seems written more with the help of Ai.

Most of their post are on long threads and whoring merit.

You've hit on something really important there. DCA only works if you can actually stick to it and that requires financial breathing room. It's tough when people are living paycheck to paycheck they might have the best intentions but life happens and suddenly that investment plan gets put on hold. I think that's why so many people struggle with consistency, not because they lack discipline, but because their cash flow just doesn't support it. And I really like your point about aggressive investing only when you have that extra cushion. It's the people who are patient and build gradually without forcing it who tend to come out ahead. They're not stressed about their positions and they're not panic selling when markets dip because they know they're in it for the long haul and they can afford to hold through the noise. That peace of mind is worth a lot.

The biggest advantage of real long term investors is that they're not desperate. They built a stable foundation first emergency fund, controlled expenses, consistent income and only then start investing because stability matters more than speed. That removes so much of the emotional pressure that makes people make bad decisions. When you're buying from a place of stability rather than desperation you can actually ride out the volatility and benefit from it.

He seems to have had deleted several of the posts that you cited in your write-up here, and surely I had been interacting with that member in recent times.  I had even commented in regards to one of his seemingly "well-drafted" posts to say that he had made some very good points, and he proclaimed that he had various interesting experiences in regards to his bitcoin journey that helped to inform him in formulating his post.

I am glad that you were able to identify such bot-writing pattern and to put together your information regarding that member. 

It seems that up until now, I had sent that member 8 smerits in total.

So everything this user does is fake. Fake posts, fake sentiments, fake beliefs, fake personality. I can understand getting got 2 times. Its good to extend faith to people and sometimes you get fooled, just as a side effect of believing in the good of the human race. But you got fooled 8 times.

Here's some more fake posts:

Hahaha, you basically ran a full-scale wildlife relocation program out of your backyard! Between the peanut butter buffet, the blood-stained mouse traps of doom, and the groundhog Uber service with complimentary white paint marking, I'm surprised National Geographic hasn’t called you for a documentary yet: “Operation Rodent Freedom: One Man’s Mission to Relocate Everything That Moves.”

Somewhere out there, a groundhog with a white racing stripe is telling his kids, “And that’s how I met your mother,  right after the big peanut butter massacre of ’87.” 😆

That’s a humongous lump of profit, no doubt about it, the kind of return people dream about. However, in reality, things don’t always play out that smoothly. With a debt hovering over your head, there’s a high chance you wouldn’t have been able to hold for that long. The pressure of loan repayment, changing market conditions coupled with personal expenses could easily make you sell too early, probably long before Bitcoin reached its peak. So yes, the numbers look amazing on paper, but the psychological and financial stress of owing money can ruin even the best investment plan.

That’s why, even though the potential gain is tempting, I still wouldn’t advise anyone to borrow money just to invest. It’s always better to invest within your means, stay patient, and let time work in your favor. Slow and steady wins in Bitcoin, without the burden of debt chasing you around.

Haha 😄 nah, I’m definitely not a machine, if I was, I’d probably be mining blocks instead of typing replies. I’ve actually been involved with Bitcoin since 2017  though cannot be compared to some of you, I've been through the wild dips, the moon talks, and all the “this time it’s dead” headlines. I’m just new to this particular forum, that’s why my account still looks fresh. I just enjoy learning, sharing, and soaking up knowledge wherever I can find it. Guess that’s why it’s easy for me to vibe and communicate here, when you’ve been around Bitcoin long enough, you learn to speak the language of both hodlers and skeptics 😂. I still remain my humble self faazs am glad and happy to learn from you guys while still trying my best to contribute positively to the community, sir.

I have difficulties figuring out what purpose you consider to be served in devolving into some form of self-righteous snarkiness.

Sure, once he has been highlighted and it appears that he is merely writing as a bot, thus I know well enough that he likely was not writing from actual experience in regards to the substantive points that he was making.

Perhaps there already exists a playbook that is shared amongst various bots and their handlers to the extent that they are more than one person and perhaps within organizations of bots.

Aren't you the smartest thingie-ma-jiggie ever..? Also with a bonus godly expectation that everyone else can be as astute, introspective and tuned-in as you.  

Could you imagine how wonderful this place would be if you were appointed as merit czar?

We do live in crazy times, so I am not going to rule out anything, even if, on the surface, such an appointment, were it to pass, comes off as crazy.

Aren't you the smartest thingie-ma-jiggie ever..? Also with a bonus godly expectation that everyone else can be as astute, introspective and tuned-in as you.  

This is what you always do: instead of engaging in the slightest bit of introspection, you do this. Well let me reverse the hyperbole in the opposite direction: You've single-handedly created an army of beggars who are flooding the forum with AI nonsense and shitty, say-nothing posts. They will learn more about how to manipulate the system and people like you than they will learn about Bitcoin, forever hobbled by your reinforcement of the idea that being a conniving little suckup is more important than being honest or gaining actual knowledge. So long as they kiss your ass, you're perfectly fine with it.

[Free Market Capitalist]

It's a shame to see nutildah and JJG arguing like this. JJG spends many hours reading the forum, more than anyone else, I think. There have been many times when I've noticed that he's given me a merit, I go to the thread in question and see that he's read everything, giving merit to the posts he thinks deserve it. Easily, of all the merits he gives, some will have gone to shitposters. It has happened to all of us, and to him, being a source of merits, even more so. If the argument had been developed constructively, perhaps nutildah could have acknowledged the good work that JJG does, instead of focusing only on the bad. And JJG could try to be more careful not to give merit to shitposters in the future.

But unfortunately, things seem to have escalated.
