Hello guys
Many people think that they have gotten it all just because they hold some amount of Bitcoin, they think it's a get rich quick scheme. Being a good Bitcoiner is beyond just holding Bitcoin. You need to value savings over spending, be patient with investments. And you need to live by the principle of earning value by contributing to the ecosystem. You can connect with other Bitcoiners and support Meetups and make real relationships but by the same time think for your self, your not swayed by influencers but by truth and data.

lol!
Don’t trust him either but for his Dogecoon to boom a little then Bitcoin must boom as well and for the Reserve speculation, altcoins are part just that Bitcoin is the big picture so him supporting Bitcoin could means he’s indirectly supporting Dogecoin or he clearly has a plan for himself and only himself because that has always been his plans after all.

Hey guys, forgive me for asking a beginner question but this is something that has been on my mind for some time. People always talk about freedom and decentralization when it comes to Bitcoin or crypto in general. I hear that a lot and I get that it's a big part of the appeal. But from my noob perspective I’m a bit confused. How is it really free and decentralized if most exchanges or brokers ask for your real lnfo like some kind of official lD or documents just to get some Bitcoin? Doesn’t that mean all your transactions can be tracked and traced back to you? I’m not trying to criticize Bitcoin I’m just genuinely trying to understand. Maybe I’m missing something. Are there other ways to buy it that allow more privacy? And what about wallets, how would someone go about things if they really wanted to stay private? If someone with real experience in this area could explain how privacy and decentralization actually work in practice that would help a lot. Thanks in advance and again sorry if this is a really basic question.

Those who are genuine holders have basically been holding for a long time, for a decade or more than a century, they have not thought about selling Bitcoin since the past. That is why they have been able to sustain their Bitcoin investment until the present. If 14 years is a huge time for normal holders, then those who are genuine holders are basically ready to keep Bitcoin for a longer period, I think such genuine holders exist in WO thread.
However, I think it is necessary for them to keep Bitcoin for a longer period, because the money they have can give luxury to life for a short time. But holding this huge wealth for the future will be much better and the future will be sure. This is the best way to be financially successful.

The perspective of the previous government and the current government are completely different. Where other US governments opposed Bitcoin, considering it a competitor to the dollar, the way Trump is now supporting Bitcoin certainly seems to be a big fan of bitcoin and treat differently. The policy that Trump has taken on Bitcoin is not unreasonable. If they allow the use of Bitcoin, then the pressure on the dollar worldwide can definitely reduce, and on the other hand, America will also be able to take a very strong position in accepting Bitcoin. Moreover, Trump wants the Bitcoin community close to him to benefit from his politics. He wants that his country will not lag behind in any way in terms of technology. Just as America is leading the world in other aspects, they want to move forward in leading Bitcoin as well.

It is interesting how perspectives on Bitcoin are changing. Traditionally many thought Bitcoin would compete with and potentially weaken US dollar worrying that if people used Bitcoin more dollar global standing would suffer. However recent comments from Trump suggest different idea that more Bitcoin use could actually ease pressure on dollar. Maybe this happen if Bitcoin acts as another option for investing taking some of demand off dollar or if accepting crypto helps US lead in new technology boosting its economy. This new way of thinking shows how our understanding of cryptocurrencies in world economy is still evolving.

Back in 2021, El Salvador took the first step into making Bitcoin legal tender. It defied the establishment by proving BTC can be used as an alternative to Fiat. Set ourselves forward 4 years later, and now El Salvador is regretting its decision. It made a deal with the IMF, in exchange of limiting its involvement with the world's beloved cryptocurrency. I guess all good things come to an end.

I wonder what could've been the culprit of Bitcoin's limited adoption within the country? Was it bad planning/execution? What if El Salvador rejected the IMF's demands? Would've it survived with Bitcoin as its sole currency? I mean, the government continues to buy BTC. At some point, it would've paid off its debt. That would've help turn it into a developed country in the long run.

What about other countries adopting BTC as legal tender? Is there still a possibility? Or is it "game over"?

Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Reading old texts about early holders who bought Bitcoin is incredibly interesting! I remember reading a thread on this forum about a trader. He was actively trading Bitcoin and telling other forum members about his trading. Buying or selling 500 Bitcoins was a common thing for him. However, one day the price of the first cryptocurrency reached 100 US dollars. On that day, this trader, a smart and interesting person, literally went crazy. He announced that the bubble had burst, that Bitcoin had crashed and the price would soon fall to zero. I will never trade Bitcoin again - he wrote. Sell your cryptocurrency urgently! For me, this was a very instructive story. You need to believe in the prospects of Bitcoin, and it is never too late to buy it.

When I am writing the post, Bitcoin is trading at $108K. If we go back 15 years, Bitcoin had been trading at $0.01 on July 4. If you compare the price difference, then it's more than 1B%. That means from the 4th of July till today, the Bitcoin price has risen more than 100%. Who had dreamed the price would go this high in 2010? This was really unimaginable—a 1,078,000,000% increase in 15 years back. This is a reminder of what the price of Bitcoin would be after the next 15 years. Especially a reminder for those who still don't believe in Bitcoin power.

Whoever intends to hold longer, it would inspire them how the Bitcoin price has been growing from the beginning till today. Sometimes I regret why I hadn't bought a lot of Bitcoin during that time, even though I had a lot of money to buy. Maybe some people will regret in the future why they didn't buy Bitcoin today. I found Bitcoin when it was trading below $3K.

What was the price your first purchased Bitcoin?

Let's share your experience. For me, I can't exactly remember, but it was between $2700 and $2800.

Those who are genuine holders have basically been holding for a long time, for a decade or more than a century, they have not thought about selling Bitcoin since the past. That is why they have been able to sustain their Bitcoin investment until the present. If 14 years is a huge time for normal holders, then those who are genuine holders are basically ready to keep Bitcoin for a longer period, I think such genuine holders exist in WO thread.

Yeah this asset is unforgiving and that is why buying it comes later, learning how to handle these things like securing a wallet, knowing that transactions are irreversible and that one has to be extra careful when dealing with money in this form.

I can say that someone who does all this properly will become a new type of human who is capable to doing something on their own and not depend on others.

About trading on the market, that is a different ballgame. First one needs to secure their wallet and not store coins on exchanges.

This is the latest institution to buy BTC and propose to make BTC its major reserve asset. Vanadi Coffee has a plan to gradually accumulate ~ €1 billion in BTC, that is a lot and with the unanimous agreement from their shareholders, it is easy to understand that there is a growing change in how people view and understand BTC right now, compared to a few years ago.

This is surely good news, and it wouldn't be long before i read another post of another company doing the same thing.

They can never be in one side.

As some people are saying bitcoin will rise, some people will say bitcoin will fall.

Do you know what I noticed recently, if bitcoin falls and start to rise back and rise above $106000, you will see them saying bitcoin will get to all time high soon and get to $1200000. Bitcoin fall to $105250 not long ago and I have been seeing bitcoin may fall again.

I hate this kind of speculation.

It's funny that they cite the stance of Elizabeth Warren in the end, who's a literal bitcoin hater spewing lies about the industry, for instance repeating the narrative that it's bad for environment, or used to commit crimes, when in fact over 50% of bitcoin mining is done on renewable sources and there's smaller % of bad actors in bitcoin than USD simply because it's transparent and people know it.

As for Trump and his idea, I feel like the USD will head towards collapse anyway. With or without bitcoin, they can't stop it because they're printing money the whole time.

What happens to your crypto if something happens to you?  Have you really prepared for that?
This is something that’s been on my mind lately ,and I think it’s something many of us in the crypto space avoid talking about.

We go to great lengths to protect our private keys and seed phrases. Cold wallets, metal backups, multi-sig setups... we lock everything down so no one but us has access. That’s great for security — but what if you suddenly die or fall into a coma? Would your spouse, kids, or family be able to access your crypto?

A lot of people might say, “I’ve written it down somewhere, they’ll figure it out.” But let’s be honest — in a real emergency, things get messy. Crypto isn’t like a traditional bank account where someone can just present a death certificate and get access. If you haven’t made a clear and secure plan, your coins could end up lost forever.

I actually know someone this happened to — a guy I met a while back died unexpectedly in an accident. He had a cold wallet with a decent chunk of BTC, and to this day, his wife still hasn’t been able to recover any of it. He didn’t use any kind of inheritance system or trusted setup. It’s just... gone.
