Exploiting the real power of Bitcoin.

[BlackHatCoiner]

While I appreciate the "number go up" mentality, because it accepts bitcoin for what it is, the hardest money, it completely blinds people to the other utility of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, most people won't grasp why self-custody and censorship resistance matter until they get burned by an exchange going under.

Personal observation: Surviving the bear markets requires actually understanding the protocol.

In conclusion, Bitcoin's greatest opportunity isn't simply owning it, it's learning how to use it. Its greatest risk isn't volatility, it's remaining ignorant while believing you're already participating.

You probably know that not all countries allow the use of Bitcoin as a means of transaction. Even though it can be done, business owners naturally have concerns about violating regulations in countries that prohibit its use as a transaction tool. If it’s for personal transactions, that’s still possible, but on a business scale, they might not take the risk, even though they could potentially avoid paying taxes.

The people who are likely to benefit most won't necessarily be those with the largest holdings, but those who invest in knowledge; learning self custody, understanding Bitcoin's monetary principles, and positioning themselves within it's growing economy. Bitcoin rewards conviction built on understanding, not speculation driven by hype.

In conclusion, Bitcoin's greatest opportunity isn't simply owning it, it's learning how to use it. Its greatest risk isn't volatility, it's remaining ignorant while believing you're already participating.

You must believe that eventually, people who are motivated to invest in Bitcoin—initially hoping to profit from periodic price increases—will evolve into investors who no longer focus solely on that aspect. Instead, they will invest with a deeper understanding of security and other principles that lead to future financial freedom.

It’s not possible for everyone to use Bitcoin in the same way they use fiat cash, as they must follow the regulations imposed by their respective countries. Ultimately, they conclude that Bitcoin remains an alternative and an investment asset that can provide them with long-term gains through price appreciation.

Investing in bitcoin for profits alone is useless, you will lose it all along due to blind investing.

But if you invest first in yourself by acquiring knowledge and strategies to ensure long-term profitability, and avoid the threats of panic buying and panic selling, rest assured you will not suffer losses from investing in bitcoin, but will only maximize your potential profits especially if you managed to hold your coins for an indefinite time.

Bitcoin is special, its a highly profitable asset that grows its value on its own, but those who blindly invest for bitcoin will never see it that way but might experience the inevitable losses especially if they only come for short-term investing goal.

I disagree with you here, the largest holders benefit a lot, the aim of every businessman is profits, the rest isn't necessary and not compulsory. If a large holder is a novice in blockchain and crypto knowledge and technical know how, but only know how to buy, store in decentralized wallet, then he enjoys the benefit as well as profit than the educated low holders or educated no holder at all.

Rewards are for those who are holding not those who know how to buy, sell and hold but not participating and grabbing some quantity in any way.

With RWA trend, even before this trend, there was Wrapped Bitcoin tokens, which make people feel like they can have bitcoin, use bitcoin through altcoin blockchains and such tokens with cheaper transaction fees, as well as opportunities of getting passive income from lending interests.

With an increasing number of hacks in the DeFi sector, such as bridges and smart contracts, we must not trust third party tools just to stake bitcoin because wrapped BTC is just counterparty risk wearing a BTC costume. So basically, these are two separate points of failure just to avoid paying high transaction fees and to earn rewards, which are not fake but highly risky.

People who only care about profit do not care about the trade off of giving custody to others. They even know it opposes the purpose of holding bitcoin in the first place.

For many, Bitcoin is simply an asset to buy and hope it appreciates. That mindset captures only a fraction of its potential. When we exploit Bitcoin's potential it becomes; a savings technology, a censor resistant payment network, a tool for financial sovereignty, and the foundation of an emerging global monetary system.

I respect your way of thinking, but the fundamental truth is that priorities differ from person to person. I don’t want to use Bitcoin as a means of censorship resistant payment. I prefer to treat Bitcoin as an asset.

I have seen its potential, and I have strong conviction in its fundamentals. I know that the supply of Bitcoin is fixed. Therefore, I’ll continue to hold it as an asset until demand increases. When that happens, I can sell it at the highest possible price and maximize my profits.

I don’t like spending such a valuable asset in the name of anonymity.
