The following would have happened if BTC was Tornado Cash

1. Likely to get banned, for real.
2. Devs will be forced to break the anonymous part.
3. A leader won't come out to support in the open because the opposition party will use it against the leader.
4. A great tool for hiding frauds transactions it is.


The future of Bitcoin looks terrifying to some people right now because those in power are now into Bitcoin, taking every bit of those Satoshi like their lives depend on it.

I get you, I feel the same way too but the part that's missing is the control part.

Even if these centralised freaks of nature takes all BTC available to themselves they can't control yours still, your Bitcoin wallet remain your Bitcoin wallet, the Key remain yours forever meaning only you have access to your fund, which is why I hated banks so much.

Isn't this the reason why most of us prefer Bitcoin?

The only part they can control is price actions.

With Bitcoin, the power of centralization control is far lesser than most thinks.

I see your point mate and i can possibly say that Bitcoin investments is not for everybody.And to think that some people actually thinks Bitcoin investment is just a form of saving money casually,that's a turnoff.Certain attributes to consider as a Bitcoin investor is that one n
emotional intelligence to keep you afloat with market trends,capitalization and volatility.

In the mean time there're so many inexperienced Investors and to some extent,I expect them to be scared to invest in Bitcoin in the first place because of the irregular markets standards and conditions it highlights.Maybe Bitcoin should run a tolerance test on intending and potential investors to access and reaccess risk tolerance goals.

I think if the project is genuinely mining through the apps then they're mostly going to dry out the cell and power of that phone. If an actual project uses the CPU of the phone then it is going to affect its performance. But, if that is just a simulation then these projects are not going to hurt your phone unless they do some back job through the hardware of the phone. That is kinda too deep but that's possible so, be careful with the apps these projects you download because you'll never know if they're going to drain your CPU an other components.

Yes, people are very attracted to this valuable resource long ago and their attitude remains at the same level even today. We often see a huge difference between the price of Bitcoin and gold rising perhaps that is advantageous for us because there is a greater potential for profit from Bitcoin. We all know that the supply of Bitcoin is limited On the other hand, gold is a much more valuable asset to everyone. So at this point it seems that Bitcoin will be able to overcome gold in the near future but in the present situation it may not be possible. We can compare this company's market cap to see that Gold is still far ahead because its market cap is still much higher.

We've seen a new wave of narratives saturating the space since the beginning of last year—AI agents. They’re like memes but with a smaller supply and actual use cases, thanks to AI. Take Siren, for example.

It’s an AI agent that aims to provide users with an intelligent and personalized encryption service experience—essentially simplifying complex data analysis and making it more accessible, according to what they claim.

But do they really achieve this? Has anyone actually utilized what AI agents are offering? If so, please share your experience

Many of us has been into Bitcoin investment and also in bitcointalk for years like eight to seven [8-7] years, but they can't  account what they have benefited from bitcointalk morally and financially, I know that many people will not like to mention their achievements in bitcoins investment and also what they acquired through bitcointalk because of security purposes, but I think is good for we let people who condemned bitcoin investment know what we have achieved since we are into Bitcoin investment

Myself I have achieved different things since I joined bitcointalk, both through investment in bitcoin and also learning from Bitcointalk..the following is what I achieved from Bitcoin and also in bitcointalk,

• I used bitcoins investment money, when bitcoins was seventeen thousands [17k] i inveted on it, and used the profit in the investment to complete my building structure in 2025
• I used signature campaign funds to establish motor tyres shop, and today the business has grown large
• I learnt risk management in trading through bitcointalk
• I learnt how to make a proper research before venturing into investment through bitcointalk
• I acquired different knowledge which I can't mention all through bitcointalk

So I want use this medium to ask people who has invested on Bitcoin more than three [3] years and also people who has been in bitcointalk over four to seven [4-7] years what they have achieved from Bitcoin investment and bitcointalk community.

Note The reason why I didn't add the images of my house and the images of my motor tyres shop, is because I don't want this thread to look as a merit phishing.

Everyone has different risk tolerance when it comes to altcoins.

Some like to play it safe and only invest in top 10 coins, that is fine if you are happy with a 3-5x this bull run.

But if you want more returns then you have to go further down the list and take more risk.

I have a mixture, with the likes of XRP however i got into it below $0.50 last year, I would feel a bit uncomfortable buying it now at $2.50 but I do believe it can see $10 this year so if you are happy with a 4x return then go for it.

And just on DOGE, i have never been interested in this however it hit $0.46 a few months ago and I see no reason why it wont hit $0.75 - $1 later this year once the bull run really gets going so that would still be decent return from current price of $0.17.

First Bitcoin Trade was in 2010 , 2 Pizza for 10,000 BTC by Laszlo Hanyecz. I saw him some of pod cast , he don't wants to talk to that incident. How cheap was Bitcoin that time.

In just 15 years Bitcoin currently Holding $85,500 (at the time of writing this post) price. By 1 BTC you may able to buy luxurious real estate some of your country, A Tesla Car, even you can stay 2 nights on Burj Al Araf. Everyone has  accepted bitcoin to worthy of a investment atleast those who know about bitcoin.

So you're holding Bitcoin right now .What you wants to buy with your Bitcoin in future? Maybe fast forward  next 20 year later.
You're not just buying blindly right. What your vision with Bitcoin after 20 year later

Bitcoin investment is not a do or die affairs we all know that  bitcoin investment is very profitable, because bitcoin is a store of value with potential returns, and it can also be risky.

Alot of people are interested to invest in bitcoin but they don't have what it's takes to build a solid investment portfolio to hold for long term of 4 to 10 years, that's why i created this thread to highlight people that should stay away from bitcoin investment in other for them not to be damage emotionally and end up regretting.

Those who can't afford potential looses and are not comfortable with the market volatility should just stay away from bitcoin investment, for the game in bitcoin investment is not for them

Those seeking for short term profits should just stay way from bitcoin investment, for Bitcoin investment doesn't give short term profits, where those category of people belong is cryptocurrency trading and not bitcoin investment.

Those who are lacking emergency funds, living in paycheck to paycheck, and struggling with depts should just avoid bitcoin investment or they we end up investing nothing but regret, because they can never accumulate a good portion of bitcoin to hold for long term, or they we end up selling their bitcoin investment at early stage, because of emergencies that may arise along the line.

Knowledge and understanding are also essential in bitcoin investment, so those who lack knowledge and understand about bitcoin investment should just avoid it, because if they invest in bitcoin with ignorance sorry is their name.

First of all, holding bitcoins does not qualify as pyramid scheme as there is no pyramid nor anyone at pyramid top earning more than other investors. The percentage of earning by all investors is equal. For example, if Bitcoin moves up by 10%, the fund of every investor, whether small or big investor, moves up by 10%. The earning is linear or flat rather pyramidic.

Ofcourse, we need Bitcoin to be used more as medium of exchange but it's still OK if people decide to hold or use it as store of value. That is basically part of its purpose.
I think it's best to create a decentralized economy that's parallel to the existing centralized economy and is based mainly on local exchange of physical products produced by the economy participants. This is much better way to start, so that governments don't feel too threatened by the activities participants since they are independent of their economies.
The decentralized economy can also be self-sustaining and mutually beneficial... meaning everyone patronizes each other, or a buyer/consumer buys what he needs from seller/producer and the producer reciprocates (though not compulsory) by buying things he need from the participant who previously bought things he sells.
The bitcoins also circulate within the economy rather than selling them mostly for fiats, thus helping it  to be self-sustaining and independent of centralized one

This question might seem like one that a beginner would ask. In fact, someone recently posed a similar question to me, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

A friend of my younger sibling wants to invest in Bitcoin, and he asked me about the best wallet option. I advised him to consider an open-source hardware wallet, since that's what I use as well.

He then asked if he could store 1 BTC in the wallet, to which I responded, "Why not?" His next question caught me off guard: "What about the saying, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'?"

I took a moment to think, but deep down I felt confident in my hardware wallet's security compared to hot wallets. However, he argued that it's best to split the Bitcoin into two parts and store them in two different hardware wallets.

What are your thoughts on this? Personally, I keep all my BTC in a single hardware wallet. I’d like to know, from the Bitcointalk community: do you think the saying "don’t put all your eggs in one basket" also applies to those using a single hardware wallet?

I just find out that some new comers are calling Bitcoin volatility a flaw, like really? This is the converstion among my friends, no wonder no one wants to always buy when there is panic in the market.

Something that should be their strength is becoming their fear.

Its volatility comes with an advantage, aka the buying power or buying opportunity.

If that happens, I'm sure you will see the price of Bitcoin $ 1-2 million/pieces, the general reason for the supply of 21 million will result in Bitcoin to be rare, not to mention the countless bitcoin The amount is immersed in the wallet because the owner dies and another factor reduction of each Halving occurs.

For that, if all countries adopted Bitcoin, you know for yourself what happens to rare goods, but I think that will not happen, only a few countries are brave like El Salvador, others are still pros and cons, because not all countries think like El's mindSalvador, I think it's just a hallucination.

A man called Eugene Fama  a key figure in modern finance, argued that btc was preordained to become worthless. His main concerns was  Bitcoin's volatility. This man refuse to understand that the decentralized nature and Supreme security have made it an attractive hedge against inflation and economic instability
Bitcoins future is great

I don't think mixers were made for shady stuff–they're like about keeping my money private which feels super important these days with everything online. To me, the problem isn't the mixer itself, it's just how some people use it. It's like VPNs or encryption or even Tor, i love how they hide my tracks but yeah, they can be used for good or bad. I get why that's tricky. I just wish we could figure out how to stop the crooks without tossing out my right to keep things private. I mean, I'm not hurting anyone–I just don't want everyone snooping in my wallet, you know?

Hello everyone I've always been interested in mining! I decided to find out about it and try it. I started mining on my PC. The idea came up to open a large farm. I made a small but understandable business plan. I'm Looking For Investors. I made the documents for the project, this document was made in Moscow (very good specialists reviewed my project). This document allows the investor to insure the entire project and be sure that his money will not be lost. The project is worth 4,400,000$. The price for electricity is 0.032$. Everything is legal and official!

The location of the mining farm will be in Kazakhstan.
