Thanks for this information because it's the best decision that anybody that is hodling Bitcoin can take, unlike some altcoins that are  not reputable to hold on the long term, Bitcoin is better if held on the long term because it's price can pump and dump on the short term, after some time the price will pump far more than it can dump, so if the holder did not sale during the short term of price fluctuations, he will gain far more when price increases and reaches ATH in the long run. As bull run is nearing it is still a good time to continue hodling because price will keep increasing on the long run till it reaches the destination of ATH, then a holder can sale some and make many times profit on investment.

So far we are entering bull run, it's never too late to buy Bitcoin now, the price will keep pumping till it reaches it's ATH, so any wise investor can still get a ticket and hop on the train to bull run. Despite what price is now, we are still looking at it to double it's price to reach $100,000 within a year from now, so don't miss the opportunity to buy now and make plenty profit on top of your capital, before the bull run will finish and we start to enter bear season. Do the right thing now and start to buy Bitcoin, it can be the best investment decision that you will make this year.

This forum has contributed immensely to my Bitcoin knowledge, everyday that I brows through the forum there is always something new or something interesting to engage in Bitcoin enlightening discussions, so it's a wonderful place of learning for newbies and a place for refreshments of ideas where every member adds to their experience everyday. I've learnt quite a number of things in this forum, the most important being that if it's not your keys then it's not your coin, meaning that we should avoid leaving our coins in a n exchange, instead it should be in our none custodial wallets, where we have the sole ownership to it.

Anybody that wants to make progress must know how to take criticism, learn from it and become better, the experienced member that a newbie is learning from has already acquired their own knowledge, so for a beginner to learn from them, the learner must develop a thick skin to accept criticism. Some people might unreasonably criticize a newbie, and instead of him to be reactive and go into unnecessary arguments, the best is to ignore such attacks and move on. Although it can be frustrating for a newbie, after putting in efforts to construct a post according to his level of knowledge, after all the efforts, the post is criticized or told outrightly that it is a shitpost, because it lacks the forum's quality standard, it is still to accept it and improve on areas that needs to be improved on. Nothing good comes easy, so a learner must accept criticism.

Accepting Bitcoin as payment for goods and services is good because it is the main purpose of creating it by Satoshi Nakamoto, to be used as a p2p transactions, so if OP decides to be accepting it as an alternative payment in his business, then it will be good for the adoption of Bitcoin, because some people will know it through him. But the main concern is the transaction fees which is still high now because of the mempool congestion, if he wants to adjust the fees then it can take days before the transaction is confirmed, other alternative means like lightening networks and using usdt might not be convenient for every customer, especially those who are not very knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. He can still go ahead to advertise that he collects Bitcoin, any customer that has a Bitcoin wallet can choose to make payment with it, and they will reach an agreement about the payment of the high transaction fee.

Thanks for this list, a complete encyclopedia, so any newbie can choose to click any of the links and immerse themselves in learning about the terminologies of cryptocurrency, it is not easy to understand everything at once, it is to take the learning one step at a time. The study and understanding of Bitcoin and everything that concerns cryptocurrency is a very big task because it is very vast, but newbies should not be discouraged because the experienced and knowledgeable members were once newbies in cryptocurrency. Another reason why it is important to continuously be researching about the crypto space is because there is too much scams in it, someone can easily be scammed in any areas of ignorance, so learning and researching should be a continuous process in the crypto space.

We cannot really blame anyone that thinks that crypto business is scam because in reality there are lots of scams and hacks in crypto, because if you go to YouTube, telegram, Facebook and other social media sites, you will see them advertising a lot of scam projects and a newbie without experience will invest their money in them, when they're scammed they will label Bitcoin as scam. This is why it is very important to get the right knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies before investing money, everybody must carry out research before investing so that they will not be victims of scammers.

People need the right source to get information about cryptocurrency be they invest their money if not they will keep being victims of scammers, somebody you don't know on YouTube or telegram will tell you about a project and without researching if you pay them money or give personal details of your wallet and get scammed, then it will be easy to blame it on cryptocurrency. I always tell people to research and ask questions before paying for anything online.

Infact after aquiring wealth the person must have an understanding of financial education because getting money is one thing and managing the money is another area that is very important, otherwise the wealth will start to diminish until nothing will remain. Some people will sale their Bitcoin that they've been hodling for year in a bull run season, after cashing in on returns on years of investment, if they don't have a solid plan on what to do with all that money, they can spend it all on luxury items and partying, in the end if there's nothing else to fall back on financially they'll become poor. With financial education, the person will decide the percentage to use for enjoyment and luxury, then the rest has to be reinvested, so that the returns on investment will continue.

This forum has been a big help to me about in terms of a better understanding of cryptocurrency, exchanges and wallets, coming into the forum everyday and learning new things is something that I look forward to, and the willingness of experienced members to direct newbies in any areas that they need guidance about crypto is very good, I appreciate them very much. One word of advice that I hear everyday in the forum is 'research', because of the many scams that are in the crypto space, experienced members always talks about carrying out your own research before buying anything that involves money in cryptocurrency, because there are many scam projects in the social media. Also not to leave your coins in a centralized exchange, because if it's not your key it is not your coin, it is good to put your crypto coins in a none custodial wallet.

Scammers will wickedly capitalize on their victims emotions by making them feel regret of not trusting them, by that the victims will not listen to the reasoning voice inside them that is doubting the scammers. I have learnt one thing repeatedly on this forum that most investments opportunities on social media are scams, also that we should carry out research about them to know if they are scammers because that is what most of them are. I see many of them on my telegram and due to my knowledge I always ignore them, I don't even click any link that I'm not sure of the source because they can lead to phishing sites, unfortunately social media has become a business place for scammers, everybody must beware.

I think that it is very unfair for the EFCC chairman to say that 70% of Nigerian, students are into cyber crime, I doubt that he carried out his research very well. We have a lot of hard working Nigerian students both acedemicaly and supporting themselves through school, every student that works on the internet is not a fraudster. Besides Nigeria, has millions of citizens and it is a very few minority that are into cyber crime and they are ternishing the image of the majority that are working hard and smart for their money. Let the Nigerian government prosecute and let cyber criminals face the full weight of the law, so that others coming behind them will see the fate that awaits them if they don't stop. As far as cyber crime is concerned it is a global phenomenal, it not only in Nigeria, but every part of the world.

Although this will be my first bull run experience and I know that because Bitcoin will be very profitable in this season, many newbies will want to be part of the profit experience so they will be looking out for any advice and opportunities to buy Bitcoin and be part of the bull run profit. Scammers will also increase their activities to scam as many of them. This forum is good for everyone who wants to be a Bitcoin investor or trader so that they will increase their knowledge about it, we need to do our own research on every investment opportunities that we hear on social media before we can trust whether it is genuine or scam, I have come to understand that there are many scams and hacks in crypto business.

Everybody on this your thread are not moderators but most of them faulted your posts, so I think that you should look within yourself as where the fault is coming from instead of the moderators. You have been accused of using AI to upgrade your posting, this is not good, they need originality in this forum. Newbies don't need to have perfect posts because we're learners in the forum. Be yourself and express your opinion in a quality way, also try to research topics to improve the quality of your posts. Do al this to avoid them to ban your account, good luck.

Thank you for bringing all the points for people to follow so that they can not delay and have indicision before investing in Bitcoin, delay is denial so we must try and overcome anything that will make us to doubt or put aside a profitable business like Bitcoin investment. We need to build confidence and control our fear of investing in Bitcoin, because it is volatile, that is why it is good to have accurate knowledge of it to understand that if the price dips it will rise again, in the future the price will keep going higher and giving the investors more profit for their investment.

I only disagree with the number 9, you said that we should do whatever our mind tells us without second thoughts. I think that we should always think twice before taking any decisions in this life because we can sometimes make hasty decisions that we can later regret. We can be emotional or gather wrong information and our minds can take decisions based on what we feel or hear immediately that can be wrong, so we should reconsider thoughts and make reserach before taking final decisions.

There are lots of scam in the crypto space so it is very important to be very careful before putting money in any projects. I see a lot of projects and their developers give them hype to get investors, but in the end most of them will fail and people will lose their money, I think that the best thing is to research any one of them that you want to buy to find out if they are good projects or scams. That is why I love Bitcoin more than every other crypto coins in the cryptocurrency market, it is the most reputable among all of them to do investment. Some top rated altcoins are also good for investors to buy, they are reputable like Bitcoin. Ponzi schemes are very dangerous to invest money in them, they can shut down with people's money at anytime.

Thank you for this important information, it is very important to crosscheck seed phrase when we open a new wallet, if a person makes a mistake it will be very costly, you don't know when you will need to import your wallet and if there is any mistake in the spelling of even one phrase or miss the order of the phrases maybe number 1 goes to number 2, then the coins in the wallet can not be recovered again. I have heard about people who can not send their coins again because of the mistake that is associated with seed phrase, either they lost it or they did not crosscheck it very well when they opened the wallet.

I think in that case we will have to wait till May, and see if the US SEC, will approve the Ethereum ETF, since it is still awaiting their approval. SEC might want to wait a longer time as you said to see how the 11 companies including blackrock, will perform in the Bitcoin ETF, before they can consider to approve Ethereum ETF that is next in line. I will like to see it approved for Ethereum, but it is the united states'SEC that can make it possible or not in May.

African countries will first adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender before they can start to talk of paying their workers salaries in Bitcoin, with the adoption it will be more convenient for them to pay salaries in their local fiat currencies. Central African republic, is the only known African country that has adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender and only them can easily make that kind of decision to pay workers with Bitcoin. I believe that private companies in Africa, can decide to pay their workers with Bitcoin, so far it is not banned in that country, but many workers will prefer to be paid with their local fiat currency, so that they can easily spend it in their country. With government adoption as a legal tender it will be easy to transact Bitcoin in any country.

The much talked about Bitcoin ETF has finally been approved by the united states' SEC, I know that the development will bring many people to invest in Bitcoin and it will increase the adoption of Bitcoin. Ethereum is also inline to get approval also for ETF, starting in May, this year, if there is no delay and they get it, big companies like blackrock and Invesco, are warming up for Ethereum ETF.

If Ethereum ETF is approved by the US SEC, then it can open the door for other top rated altcoins like BNB, Litecoin, and Solana, to also want to get ETF approvals. Then people can have more to choose for investment. They might become competition for Bitcoin if they get plenty investors

Do you think that this will be a good development if Bitcoin and many altcoins have ETF?

For newcomers like me into the cryptocurrency market it is good to invest in Bitcoin first because it is the most reputable and trusted among all of the rest because it is the most used and invested crypto coin. It is decentralized and over the years it has been tested and has proven to be truly the best and safest option for crypto investment. The approved Bitcoin ETF is another reason why many newbies should trust that it will be more profitable now and in the future. Newcomers should carry out proper research before buying altcoins because they are far more risky than Bitcoin in investment, that is why only Bitcoin is advisable and my preferred choice for now.
