Re: How do I secure my wallet
by
Ataiwo913
on 10/06/2023, 19:59:15 UTC

1. Use a secure wallet: When choosing a wallet, look for one that has a good reputation for security and offers features such as two-factor authentication, multi-signature support, and cold storage options. You can research different wallet options and read reviews to help you make an informed decision.

2. Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires you to provide an additional code or password in addition to your regular password when logging into your wallet. This can help prevent unauthorized access to your wallet and protect your funds.

3. Keep your private keys safe: Your private keys are used to access your cryptocurrency funds, so it is crucial to keep them safe. You can store your private keys offline, such as in a hardware wallet or paper wallet, which are not connected to the internet and therefore less vulnerable to hacking or other security threats.

4. Backup your wallet: Backing up your wallet is essential in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Make sure to keep multiple copies of your backup in different secure locations, such as a safe or a safety deposit box.

5. Keep your software up to date: Keeping your wallet software and operating system up to date with the latest security patches and updates can help protect against known vulnerabilities and security threats.

6. Use strong passwords: Strong passwords should be at least 12 characters long and include a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts, and use a password manager to help you keep track of your passwords.

7. Be cautious with public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks can be vulnerable to attacks, so it's best to avoid accessing your wallet or any sensitive information related to your wallet on public Wi-Fi. If you must use public Wi-Fi, consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your connection and protect your data.

Overall, these tips can help you secure your wallet and protect your cryptocurrency assets. However, it's important to stay informed about the latest security threats and take additional steps to protect yourself against potential risks.

Re: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin
by

We don't need to force children on cryptocurrency but we only need to enlighten them if they have interest. And here are a few things to consider regarding teaching children about bitcoin:

1. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy. Exposing children to financial technology and digital assets at a young age could give them an advantageous understanding as they grow up.

2. Teaching children how to manage and invest in assets responsibly from a young age could help develop important life skills and financial literacy. Kids who learn about savings, investing and wealth creation early on tend to make better financial decisions as adults.

3. If done properly and with parental supervision, learning about bitcoin can be a fun and engaging experience for children. They are often naturally curious about new technologies.

4. Parents should ultimately decide at what age and to what extent their children learn about bitcoin, based on their maturity level and interests. Forcing children to learn when they are not ready is likely to be counterproductive.

5. As with any financial topic, parents should teach children about the risks involved with bitcoin as well as the potential opportunities. Kids need a balanced understanding.

6. Responsible use of bitcoin for children means starting with small amounts and under parents' supervision and control of any funds or accounts. Kids should not have unrestricted access that could lead to losses.

So in summary, while forcing children to learn bitcoin is not a good approach, exposing them appropriately based on their maturity level and interests could have benefits. As with anything, moderation and common sense should guide parents' decisions.

The most important thing is that parents educate themselves sufficiently on bitcoin first, so they can teach their children responsibly. But don't feel pressure to force the topic if it's not a good fit for your family right now.

Re: How do banks generate income?
by
Ataiwo913
on 08/06/2023, 23:44:06 UTC
Here are some additional details about how banks generate income:

• Loan interest is by far the largest source of revenue for banks. Banks make money by charging borrowers a higher interest rate than they pay depositors. The difference is the bank's profit, known as the interest spread or margin.

• Fees and charges have been increasing as a source of revenue for banks in recent years. Banks charge fees for everything from checking accounts to wire transfers to overdrafts. The larger the bank, the more fee-based income they tend to have.

• Mortgage lending has become highly profitable for many banks. Mortgage interest rates are usually higher than other loan rates, and mortgages are paid back slowly over 30 years.

• Credit card income also consists of both interest charges on balances and annual fees. Late fees and penalty fees also add to card-related revenue. However, credit card loans tend to be riskier for banks.

• Revenue from investment activities is dependent on interest rates and financial market conditions. When rates rise, banks' investment returns typically increase.

• Interchange fees - the small percentage banks get from every credit/debit card transaction - can add up substantially, though regulation of these fees is increasing.

• ATM fees have become a notable source of revenue for large banks that have extensive ATM networks. But customers generally dislike these fees.

• The "float" is the least transparent source of income for banks, but it can generate millions due to the large deposit volumes that banks handle.

So in short, loan interest remains the most important revenue source for sustaining bank operations and profitability. However, fees, premium services, and other sources are important additions to a bank's overall income statement.

Here are some common Bitcoin terminologies and their challenges for newcomers:

• Blockchain - The distributed public ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions. The concept of a distributed ledger can be difficult to grasp for newcomers.

• Mining - The process of adding transaction records to the blockchain through solving complex mathematical problems. The technical details of mining can be hard to understand.

• Nodes - Computers that make up the Bitcoin network and maintain a copy of the blockchain. Understanding the role of nodes in the network is not intuitive.

• Private keys - Long strings of numbers and letters that allow users to access and spend their Bitcoin. Managing private keys securely is very important but also challenging for new users.

• Public keys - Addresses that people send Bitcoin to. New users often struggle to differentiate between public and private keys.

• Wallet - Stores the private keys that control the Bitcoin addresses and allows users to send and receive payments. Different wallet types add to the complexity for newcomers.

• Fees - Small amounts paid to miners to include transactions in the next block. Fee levels and dynamics can be difficult for new users to grasp.

• Forks - Changes to the Bitcoin protocol that result in two different blockchains. Understanding forks and their implications requires technical knowledge.

In summary, while the basic concepts behind Bitcoin seem simple on the surface, many of the technical details and nuances can pose challenges for newcomers. securely managing keys, understanding the role of nodes, appropriate fee levels, and different wallet types are common pain points for new users.

Re: Which is better, staking or investing?
by
Ataiwo913
on 07/06/2023, 21:47:38 UTC
Staking is the process of investing in a project which is built on the PoS~Proof of Stake algorithm. Your coins are locked on their specified wallet for a period of time and you earn a percentage of your holdings in time intervals. Proof of stake is an alternative to the Proof of work algorithm used by the Bitcoin network to reward miners.
Staking is similar to mining on the Bitcoin network

My most important question: Which is better, staking or investing?
Staking is a form of investing, you'd need to specify what form of investment to compare it with.
Staking and investing are two different ways to generate returns from cryptocurrencies. Here's how they compare:

Staking

- Staking involves locking up your cryptocurrency tokens to support network operations and receive rewards in return.

- You are essentially lending your tokens to the network to validate transactions and earn staking rewards as a result.

- Staking rewards tend to be higher than traditional investment returns, ranging from 5% to over 20% annually depending on the cryptocurrency.

- Staking generally has lower risk since your principal investment remains the same - you aren't actually investing it, just locking it up.

- You don't need to time the market since staking rewards are continuous as long as your tokens are staked.

Investing

- Investing involves buying and holding cryptocurrency tokens with the hope that their price will appreciate over time.

- You are speculating on the future price movements of the tokens based on market and technical factors.

- Investment returns depend on token price appreciation and can be volatile, with both large gains and losses possible.

- Investing carries higher risk since your principal investment fluctuates with the market. You could lose some or all of your capital.

- You need to time your entry and exit to maximize returns since cryptocurrency prices are constantly changing.

Overall, staking tends to offer more consistent, lower risk returns while investing offers the potential for higher returns but with more volatility and risk of loss. A mix of the two strategies - staking some of your holdings and investing others - can provide a good balance for generating cryptocurrency income.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: How important is it to keep your bitcoin investments secret from others ?
by
Ataiwo913
on 07/06/2023, 12:53:50 UTC
Recently, I came to read this news

https://protos.com/spanish-police-rescue-crypto-investor-kidnapped-on-holiday/

The first thing that came to my mind after reading this was that one should not talk about his crypto investments with strangers or friends as it can pose various risks. If you are active on forums like bitcointalk and involved in trades, you should not give information which can help others relate to your identity.
There are a few reasons why it may be important to keep your bitcoin investments secret:

1. Security - Revealing that you have bitcoin could make you a target for hackers, scammers, and thieves. Keeping it secret helps keep your coins secure.

2. Privacy - Bitcoin is meant to provide financial privacy, so revealing your holdings can encroach on that privacy. Some people prefer to keep their financial affairs private.

3. Judgment - Some people may judge you or criticize you for investing in bitcoin. Keeping it secret can help avoid that judgment.

4. Tax obligations - In some cases, declaring your bitcoin holdings to others, like family or friends, could create tax obligations that you otherwise would not have had. Keeping it secret avoids this risk.

5. Volatility - Bitcoin prices are very volatile, so if people know you have bitcoin, they may become obsessed with checking the price constantly and criticizing your decision if the price goes down. Keeping it secret avoids this.

6. Relationships - Revealing major financial decisions to family or friends can sometimes strain relationships, even if well-intentioned. Keeping it secret avoids potential conflicts.

So in summary, there are a number of good reasons why keeping your bitcoin investments secret from others may be valuable - for security, privacy, avoiding judgment or tax obligations, and avoiding potential strain on relationships. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference, but there are definitely advantages to discretion when it comes to cryptocurrency investments.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: Bitcoin or banking investment?
by

on 07/06/2023, 06:19:43 UTC
I believe bitcoin and banks are well renounced investment platforms but many people prefer bitcoin investment despite is very risky because of high demands and rising price interest and banks on the other hand saves millions of people finances all over the world yet their investment interest is very small but less risky than bitcoin. Which do you preferred your money to be save in as investment? Bitcoin or bank! What's your reason?
That’s a complex question with pros and cons for both options. Here are some key considerations for comparing Bitcoin and traditional banking investments:

• Risk tolerance - Bitcoin is a much riskier investment than traditional banking options like savings accounts, CDs, or bonds. Bitcoin's value is volatile and can fluctuate significantly. It is not a guaranteed return. So consider your risk tolerance and investment timeline.

• Reward potential - While riskier, Bitcoin has the potential for higher returns than traditional banking investments. Bitcoin has seen returns well over 1000% in recent years. However, there are no guarantees and prices could also crash.

• Liquidity - Bitcoin is less liquid than bank investments. It can be difficult to quickly sell large amounts of Bitcoin without significantly impacting the price. Bank investments are very liquid and easy to sell.

• Regulation - Banking investments are highly regulated and have more consumer protections. Bitcoin is less regulated and has fewer protections if exchanges or wallets are hacked or fail.

• Fees and convenience - Banking investments typically have low fees and are convenient to manage. Bitcoin requires trading fees, security and storage considerations, and can be less user-friendly.

• Diversification - A balanced investment strategy that includes some exposure to both traditional and alternative assets like Bitcoin can help diversify your portfolio and reduce overall risk.

• Volatility - Due to speculation and its nature as a new asset, Bitcoin tends to be much more volatile than traditional investments. It is prone to large price swings over short time periods.

In summary, Bitcoin has the potential for higher returns but comes with significantly more risk. For most investors, a combination of traditional bank investments for stability and some Bitcoin exposure for growth is a reasonable strategy. But Bitcoin should only be invested with money you can truly afford to lose.

Hope this perspective helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: How can i start bitcoin mining?
by
Ataiwo913
on 03/06/2023, 20:06:06 UTC
Bitcoin mining is the process of adding new transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain and verifying them through solving complex mathematical problems using specialized computer hardware. If you are interested in starting Bitcoin mining, here are some key properties you should be aware of:

1. Hardware requirements: Bitcoin mining requires specialized computer hardware called ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) that are designed specifically for mining Bitcoin. These machines are expensive and consume a lot of electricity.

2. Mining software: Once you have the hardware, you will need to install mining software on your computer. There are many different mining software options available, some of which are more user-friendly than others.

3. Mining pools: Joining a mining pool can increase your chances of earning Bitcoin rewards. A mining pool is a group of miners who combine their computing power to mine Bitcoin more efficiently.

4. Electricity costs: Bitcoin mining is an energy-intensive process, and the cost of electricity can be a significant factor in determining whether mining is profitable for you.

5. Difficulty level: The difficulty level of Bitcoin mining increases over time as more miners join the network. This means that you will need more computing power to mine Bitcoin effectively as time goes on.

6. Profitability: Bitcoin mining can be profitable, but it is not guaranteed. The profitability of Bitcoin mining depends on many factors, including the cost of electricity, the price of Bitcoin, and the difficulty level of mining. It is important to do your research and calculate the potential profitability of mining before investing in hardware and software.

on 01/06/2023, 22:23:42 UTC
I think other writers has outlet the benefits of bitcoin and none benefits of bitcoin before, I don't need to praise bitcoin much because its just a technology and anything can interrupts the chances of it prolonging values.
1) From what I have observed  in bitcoin its a financial relief when you know the secrets behind the uses of bitcoin and some of the investment.
2) bitcoin have some of disadvantages which we are not supposed have all our hope in bitcoin, sometimes the mistakes of people lossiing in bitcoin investment is as a result of improper explanation and orientation when coming to invest in bitcoin.
3) bitcoin is like a life bencher for lawyers, why in financial aspects bitcoin is a freedom it doesn't have who control it.
4) having much benefit in bitcoin is when you know the good time to invest in bitcoin, like sometimes profit in Bitcoin investment is determination by the amount used for invest.
5) I want new people to know that the advantages of bitcoin investment is higher than the disadvantages if you take your investment plans serious.


Point 4 is totally subjective because as far as I'm concerned, there's no point in waiting for the price of Bitcoin to go higher to make a good profit.  There are 2 types of Bitcoin investors the one waiting for the gain and the one waiting to pay in sats.
Bitcoin has several potential benefits as a digital currency and investment asset. Here are some of the main benefits:

1. Decentralization: Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that operates independently of any government or financial institution. This means that it is not subject to the same restrictions and regulations as traditional financial systems.

2. Security: Bitcoin uses advanced cryptographic techniques to secure transactions and prevent fraud. Transactions are verified by a decentralized network of computers, making it difficult for any individual or organization to manipulate the system.

3. Transparency: All Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. This provides transparency and allows anyone to view transaction history and balances.

4. Low transaction fees: Bitcoin transactions typically have lower fees compared to traditional financial systems, making it an attractive option for international transactions.

5. Potential for high returns: Bitcoin has seen significant price increases over the years, which has led to high returns for early investors. However, it is important to note that Bitcoin's value is highly volatile and investing in it carries significant risk.

Overall, Bitcoin has the potential to offer a decentralized, secure, transparent, and potentially profitable alternative to traditional financial systems. However, it is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits before investing in Bitcoin or any other digital asset.

One reason why you might consider buying bitcoin is that it offers the potential for long-term growth and the possibility of diversifying your investment portfolio. While bitcoin's price can be volatile in the short term, over the long term, many investors see it as a hedge against inflation and a potential store of value that can help protect against economic uncertainty or global market downturns. Additionally, some people are drawn to bitcoin for its decentralized nature and its potential to disrupt traditional financial systems. However, it's important to note that investing in bitcoin involves risks and you should carefully consider your financial situation and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.

Re: Reason why Bitcoin will always lead other cryptocurrency
by
Ataiwo913
on 14/05/2023, 23:19:27 UTC
Firstly, it provides transparency and a history for each transaction, which is not possible with most altcoins.

It's actually possible for like 99% of altcoins as most altcoins are tokens on public blockchains(Ethereum, Solana, BNB, etc); only a very small minority are 'privacy' coins, and only some of those 'privacy' coins are actually private.
There are several reasons why Bitcoin is likely to maintain its position as the leading cryptocurrency:

1. First-mover advantage: Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to be created, and it has been around for over a decade. This means that it has had more time to establish itself and build a loyal user base.

2. Strong brand recognition: Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency, with high brand recognition and a strong community of supporters. This makes it more likely to be adopted by new users and businesses, giving it an advantage over other cryptocurrencies.

3. Large network effect: Bitcoin has a large and active network of users, developers, and miners, which helps to ensure its security and stability. The larger the network, the more difficult it is for a new cryptocurrency to compete.

4. Decentralization: Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency, meaning that it operates without a central authority or intermediary. This makes it more resistant to censorship and control by governments or other centralized entities, giving it an advantage over centralized cryptocurrencies.

However, it's important to note that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and constantly evolving. Other cryptocurrencies may emerge that offer new features or advantages over Bitcoin, and the market could shift in unexpected ways. As with any investment, it's important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions.

Re: How can I earn from cryptocurrency as a starter?
by
Ataiwo913
on 14/05/2023, 23:13:12 UTC
Hello Mates, I wish to venture into trading but I'm just being mindful of the current market situation. Looking at the market, I see instability.

I wish to get the needed guide on how and when to start trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies inorder to make some profits to settle some of my needs. I appreciate you all for your kind response in advance.
As a starter, one way to potentially earn from cryptocurrency is to buy and hold a crypto asset that you believe has long-term potential for growth. This strategy is commonly referred to as "HODLing," which stands for "hold on for dear life." The idea is to purchase a cryptocurrency and hold onto it for an extended period of time, with the hope that its value will increase over time.

Another way to potentially earn from cryptocurrency is through trading. This involves buying and selling cryptocurrency in an attempt to make a profit from short-term price fluctuations. Trading can be more complex and risky than simply holding a cryptocurrency, and it requires a deeper understanding of market dynamics and technical analysis.

You can also earn cryptocurrency by participating in mining or staking. Mining involves using specialized hardware to verify transactions on a blockchain network, and in exchange, miners are rewarded with newly created cryptocurrency. Staking, on the other hand, involves holding a certain amount of cryptocurrency in a wallet and helping to validate transactions on the network in exchange for additional cryptocurrency rewards.

Before getting started with any of these strategies, it's important to do your own research and understand the risks involved. It's also a good idea to start with a small amount of money that you can afford to lose, and to consult with a financial advisor if you have any questions or concerns.

It took me some time to be able to think of something that I could do that will not cost me too much money since I do not have so much of that, and also something that will not require me to talk to people directly because I can get shy.

I decided to get stickers that I intend to distribute among transporters to put in their vehicles and tricycles, and also to put them in places that people can easily see.

I will appreciate someone help preview the post so my stickers can be seen.

There are many ways to promote Bitcoin, but here are some steps you can take:

1. Educate yourself: The first step to promoting Bitcoin is to educate yourself about it. Learn about how it works, its benefits and limitations, and the technology behind it. This will help you explain Bitcoin to others and answer any questions they may have.

2. Share your knowledge: Once you have a good understanding of Bitcoin, share your knowledge with others. Talk to your friends, family, and colleagues about Bitcoin and its potential benefits. You can also share articles, videos, and other resources that explain Bitcoin in an easy-to-understand way.

3. Use Bitcoin: One of the best ways to promote Bitcoin is to use it yourself. Buy some Bitcoin and use it to make purchases, send money to friends and family, or donate to charities. This will help you understand how Bitcoin works in practice and show others how easy it is to use.

4. Accept Bitcoin payments: If you run a business, consider accepting Bitcoin payments. This will not only help promote Bitcoin but also give your customers another payment option. There are many payment processors that can help you accept Bitcoin payments, such as BitPay and Coinbase Commerce.

5. Attend Bitcoin events: Attend Bitcoin conferences, meetups, and other events to learn more about Bitcoin and meet other Bitcoin enthusiasts. This can also be a great way to network and promote Bitcoin to others.

6. Be a responsible advocate: Finally, remember to be a responsible advocate for Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has many benefits, it is not without risks. Make sure to educate others about the risks and encourage them to do their own research before investing in Bitcoin.

Re: Do We Need AI in Cryptocurrency Blockchain?
by
Ataiwo913
on 13/05/2023, 22:25:00 UTC
It's still not clear from your article how can AI be used with blockchain. Can you show any concrete examples? Because it looks more like just a combination of two popular buzzwords. Since 2016 there has been countless ICOs that promised AI blockchains, and they all turned out to be scams.

Fundamentally, blockchain is about storing data, and AI is about solving problems. They don't easily intersect, so all attempts to do so look very forced and unnecessary.
Sure, here are some specific examples of how AI is being used in cryptocurrency and blockchain:

1. Fraud detection: AI algorithms can be used to analyze large amounts of data from cryptocurrency transactions to identify patterns that are indicative of fraudulent activity. This can include detecting anomalous behavior, such as unusually large transactions or suspicious network activity, and flagging them for further investigation.

2. Market prediction: AI algorithms can also be used to analyze market data and predict future trends in cryptocurrency prices. By analyzing historical data and identifying patterns, machine learning models can provide insights into potential price movements that can be used to inform investment strategies.

3. Smart contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts that are built into blockchain technology. AI can be used to optimize the execution of smart contracts by identifying potential issues and providing solutions to improve their efficiency.

4. Mining optimization: Cryptocurrency mining can be a resource-intensive process that requires significant computing power. AI can be used to optimize the mining process by identifying the most efficient algorithms and hardware configurations to maximize the mining output while minimizing energy consumption.

5. Identity verification: Blockchain technology offers a secure and decentralized way of verifying identities. AI can be used to enhance this process by analyzing biometric data, such as facial recognition, to verify individuals' identities and prevent fraud.

Overall, AI has the potential to provide numerous benefits to the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries, including increased security, efficiency, and scalability. As these technologies continue to evolve, it's likely that we will see even more innovative uses of AI in this space.

Re: When Bitcoin will become stable currency?

on 12/05/2023, 17:17:04 UTC

BTC's unpredictable price is also a positive attribute that Bitcoiners like. you can make money out of this inflation. but BTC may not become stable due to the cycles, when the cycles probably are over like all 21M coins are already mined, i think there will be a stability of price.
It's difficult to predict when or if Bitcoin will become a stable currency. Bitcoin's value has been highly volatile since its inception, with frequent price fluctuations that can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including market demand, regulatory changes, and global events.

One of the key challenges for Bitcoin as a stable currency is its limited adoption and use as a medium of exchange. While Bitcoin has gained popularity as a speculative investment and store of value, its use in everyday transactions remains relatively limited.

That being said, there are ongoing efforts to address some of the challenges facing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in terms of stability and usability. For example, the development of stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies pegged to the value of a stable asset such as the U.S. dollar, could potentially help to reduce volatility and increase adoption.

Ultimately, the future of Bitcoin as a stable currency will depend on a wide range of factors, including technological advancements, regulatory developments, and broader shifts in the global economy.

Re: Effects of war on bitcoin
by
Ataiwo913
on 10/05/2023, 17:18:29 UTC
I don't think you're right about Bitcoin and the war. Bitcoin can suffer from panic, surrounding global economic uncertainty due to certain events. But it doesn't have to happen and doesn't always happen. The full-scale invasion (because Russia's war against Ukraine itself started in 2014) started on February 24, 2022. If anything, BTC went up back then, namely from $37k on February 24 to $44.5k on March 1, and then up to $47k on March 31. The biggest impact on the price happens at the beginning, and Bitcoin was doing alright then. What's been going on with the price later has nothing to do with the war, IMO. Moreover, the war also gave new publicity and usage of Bitcoin, as Ukraine started actively accepting Bitcoin donations.
The effects of war on bitcoin are many.

First, there is the simple fact that people don't want to use bitcoin in wartime. The reason for this is that the U.S., for example, has made it clear that it will not allow its citizens to use bitcoin in their transactions because of its ties to terrorism and money laundering activities. It also discourages merchants from accepting it as payment because they fear losing business from customers who choose not to pay with crypto currencies due to loss of confidence in crypto currencies (as well as other reasons).

Secondly, when war breaks out, people need money fast—and they'll use whatever currency they can get their hands on. In times like these, cash is king because it's tangible and easy for people to carry around—which means that governments have an interest in keeping cash out of circulation during wartime periods so that people don't turn to using digital currencies instead (which makes sense if you think about it).

Finally, since bitcoin isn't backed by anything but the faith in its users' ability to find a way out of any situation—and then exchange their coins back into fiat currency at some point—it won't be worth much during war time if no one wants to use it anymore

Re: You shouldn't be worried about bitcoin

Why don't we have this mentality towards bitcoin and know its the latest Generation that has came to stay which through bitcoin we had a blockchain that featured all forms of technologies in the world, and yet you think one day bitcoin price will fail you?

During the rise of computing, there was a much more tangible and understandable level of progress. Since Bitcoin was beyond, it has been beyond comprehension and therefore harder to understand its progress technologically. To the average person, Bitcoin has always been Bitcoin. They aren't aware of the upgrades it has gone through from version 0.1 to 24.0.1. Until they learn more, it is always the same thing to them. I suppose the same could be said about computing except that the increase in functionality, speed, design etc was all in your face...and also, supported by corporations and governments with almost no adversary to its growth.

Bitcoin on the other hand, has the largest adversary of all...all of the interests that are involved in keeping the modern day fiat money/reserve banking system alive, These interests will do whatever it can to hinder peoples comprehension and faith in its progress, and profit from the Bitcoin market.

You can't blame people for being worried about Bitcoin and what it will do to their portfolio. It is attractive enough to put your savings into it, but it is volatile enough to make you worry. I do agree that at this point faith should be higher...though since we've seen growth from $0.01, $0.1, $1, $10, $100, $1000 to $10000 to $80000 ath...it's hard to trade or hold an asset at $20-30k without being worried about revisiting much lower price points. It's innate to be worried considering the monumental growth.

You shouldn't be worried about bitcoin.

This is a technology that has the potential to change the world and give people the power to make their voices heard. It's not going to go away any time soon, and it's not going to stop being exciting anytime soon either. As long as you keep an open mind and don't get too caught up in what other people think or say about it, then there's no reason for you not to embrace this technology as something that's going to make your life easier.

I'm planning to sell it at some point, not earlier than $100,000 for sure. And when it slides below that I'll buy some again.

I would like to use bitcoin as a payment method for my daily transactions, such as buying food, paying bills and other expenses. I also want to buy products from the internet and pay for them with bitcoins.
