Thanks, you made a nice point that we should not trust the third party for managing our crypto. Most of them are not really very customer friendly. But they have taken the lead and majority of new investors are trading through these 3rd parties only.
How can people really learn to handle their crypto assets, can you help me out on this.

The problem is that not really a big chunk of population is involved in crypto right now.
While crypto is the future, but most of them are not concerned.
I assume there will be a tussle between  the holders and regulators for establishing their authority. sadly I assume anonymity might get compromised due to security concerns, but decentralisation is going to stay here.

No matter what other protocol has come, POW remains the best and bitcoin has been the best decentralised and anonymous. Such was the vision and works of Satoshi that after so much of search of alternatives for decades , bitcoin still remains the best

The good thing now will be, that market will now be a cleaner place Excess of shit coins made crypto space more like a gambling ground.
Authorities too have learnt their lessons, that meddling with bitcoin won't help them either. they will be more supportive now , this will help bitcoin in long run..

Recent fall of FTX shook the crypto ecosystem Also It has come as a lesson for crypto world, though an expensive one.

There are many crypto assets that are currently in the market and are backed by nothing. This has shown that when it becomes too risky to invest in shit coins and why we should avoid it.


Moreover it's becoming clearer that in future a lot of shit coins are going to fall on their face and wipe out from the system.

The fall of FTX also showed the lacuna of POS as well. While ethereum moved to POS. I believe it has in one way or other affected the crypto ecosystem to lead to this fall.

Believe it or not the future is of crypto regulations. The thousands of crypto projects which have been launched without any meaningful backing are going to fall on face.
It's time of retribution for those altcoins

All the naysaying  and scepticism of bitcoin will going to end soon. As in a well regulated market only are few currencies will be traded. And for sure bitcoin will lead from front.

For all the newbies out there who are still trying to figure gur, what crypto is all about
A list of crypto terminologies can be a first lesson.
Here I am trying to put the source links of such basic
 terminologies.
From bitcoin to alcoin from hodl to read.

So please learn for yourself

I came to know about bitcoin somewhere in December 2021. When it was hovering around 50,000 USD.
 I read about its story from how Satoshi started the project to bitcoin pizza and more.  I felt inspired. I decided to learn more about it and joined the forum with the same intention.
Over period of time i learnt things from crypto-wallets to crypto-exchanges. I learnt how bitcoin gained value and what are its benifits.
I also learnt about the flood of altcoins in the market, and how they are rising and falling overnight. Giving people chance to gamble and make fortune.

However to me bitcoin always felt special, because while projects fizzle out now and than, bitcoin has steadily been the corner stone of cryptoworld.
Also maybe i joined this forum, may be this naturally enhanced my trust in bitcoin.
I am not an avid investor. I invest small amounts now and than in bitcoin, and intend to not to touch my investment atleast this decade. I hope by then it will grow to a respectable sum.

While lot of people off late were saying that bitcoin is finally doomed to fall. Recently my trust in bitcoin has substantially increased because of the  way it held its value against market forces . While all the currencies including euro and yen, showed a steep drop against dollar. The share marked saw a fall. Bitcoin held its ground.Against all the naysayers against all the government bans and restrictions, bitcoin managed to hold.
I believe it has proven its mettle.
I believe soon bitcoin will rise and shoot to the stars..
Waiting for that to happen.

Yess.. i am a completely non tech guy..
I was introduced to this forum by one of my friend,  I always wanted to use it.

However most of post seem discussions and while i was reading them i was making small contributions to forum, however when i understood i need technical know-how to actually do something meaningful, i felt asking the seniors is the best thing to do.
And thanks to gods
 You people gave me something worthy to study and learn.

Thankyou very much.. i had been looking for such resources for quite some time...
You gave all this wonderful stuff. I am looking forward to study all this...
Thanks senior.

I completely agree with you... The governments are being hypocritical .
But what if we make bitcoin mining become a reward for setting up  bio digesters for waste management..
The higher the prices bitcoin achieve more will be the rewards for creating clean energy from waste and utilising it for mining.
The world will embrace, bitcoin as a saviour.

I am a biological scientist maybe i don't understand bitcoin as good as many here, but i understand 2 things.
The biggest challenges of our generation is environmental issues and much of it is human waste and emmisions.
Currently there is no real rewards for waste management and and secondly bitcoin mining..( not trading or transaction)needs lot of energy.  If we can club them together can't we mine bitcoin using otherwise useless waste..

Thankyou

I believe it's not only about cheap electricity.. it's also more about creating a sustainable system.
A system which can address not only out current waste management and energy needs but future needs as well.
Tons of waste end up in sea, microplastics have already made their way to human fetus.

My point is if make our waste useful, we will have a sustainable and clean future and bitcoin can be a great tool to do that

Completely agree with you..
There have been people who are ahead of their time like Mendel who gave the famous principle of inheritance and he was awarded noble price after his death  30 years after in died.
Before that there was no rule to award nobel posthumously.

Can we apply similar principle for Satoshi and make a rule change...

Our politicians have been hopeless for decades and the way sushil modi is talking one statement made by Sam Manikshaw comes to my head that was
"I wonder whether those of our political masters who have been put in charge of the defence of the country can distinguish a mortar from a motor; a gun from a howitzer; a guerrilla from a gorilla, although a great many resemble the latter."
These are bunch of idiots with little knowledge but big mouth.

For long I read bitcoin isn't environment friendly and the cost of bitcoin mining is exorbitant.
 This is the main reason why many organisations and governments are criticizing bitcoin.
However i feel defferent.
I feel bitcoin can become a great tool of creating a much cleaner and greener environment.

Most of the cities around the globe produce tons of waste and that waste end up in landfills, garbage hills, drains and so on.
Civic bodies don't really have capability, resources or even will to address these problems.

I feel if we allow bitcoiners to set biodegradation plants  for waste treatment. Such plants which decompose these waste and generate bio-gases like methane and other which can inturn generate electricity sufficient for running their bitcoin grids.

This will be a win win situation for all.

There will be cheap electricity for bitcoin mining , there will be biodegradation of waste as needed by civic bodies.
There will be greener and cleaner environment.

Overtime  an international  network or a global bitcoin grid, where citizens can invest for creating waste biodegradation plants and the bitcoin mined will be their reward in proportion to their investments.

I think bitcoin is an opportunity to bring together world and achieve the mammoth goals of environmental protection, poverty eradication and bringing prosperity and equality in world.

Please express your thoughts on this.

Opera browser integrates Elrond blockchain services to bolster Web3 adoption.

This means that more and more people who use opera will come to know about crypto. This mean a crypto promotion by the browser.

Now Bahrain is  allowing crypto payment gateway Eazypay to allow payments in crypto currency including bitcoin through  5,000 point-of-sale (PoS) terminals. once again validates that future belong not to Fiat but to crypto.
EazyPay’s crypto payment system will be “first regulated and approved crypto payments service offering” in the Middle East and North Africa region. Says binance CEO.

 With such positive developments, i hope crypto winter will be over soon and Bitcoin will rise again to moon.

https://news.yahoo.com/bitcoin-could-return-68-000-135232771.html

Recently i came across this post Michael Saylor says Bitcoin could return to $68,000 within 4 years and hit $500,000 in the next decade..

The time line of 4 years seems very long... What's your opinion regarding thing...

I was scouting through internet and i came across this very interesting post on if Satoshi deserve a Nobel prize.
Infact many forums had discussed it
Infact a professor  Bhagwan Chowdhry at the University of California in the United States presented the proposal of Nobel prize for Satoshi stating that technology presented by Satoshi is the most significant development of the 21st Century and will have immense implications in the way finance will be conducted in the future

Personally i believe that Satoshi do deserve nobel prize for his work.
Especially after recent Ukraine crisis when we saw how donations could pour in in bitcoin. We saw how bitcoin can help people in events of war when banks were either closed or had frozen accounts.. People were homeless and short of money. We saw how bitcoin helped war affected people to overcome financial barriers and this showed the true potential of bitcoin and how it can support financial support and financial inclusion of poor and needy.

I believe for such a great contribution to science and humanity Satoshi do deserve a price, even when he is anonymous.

I request members to express their opinion as well.

Dear Members,

I am a non tech guy, with little knowledge of coding, block chain and how to use bitcoin.
I had been introduced here by one of my friends, who insists me that bitcoin is future and i should learn about it
 He said is to reading the posts of seasoned bit coiners  here will help me in learning about bitcoin and crypto.

I am still not being able to understand from where to start, and how to go forward.
I request if some of you can post about good resources from where i can learn about bitcoin and the best practices to follow for becoming a good future bitcoiner. I hope your replies will help more newbies and junior members like me.

Thank-you!!!
