Re: Bitcoin is not for the weak

I think it's really important to recognize that Bitcoin isn't just for experienced investors. Newcomers can get involved too, especially with strategies like dollar-cost averaging that help manage the stress of market volatility. There are also a ton of educational resources out there for anyone looking to better understand this space. It's worth noting that scams and mistakes happen in traditional finance just as much as they do in crypto. By prioritizing education and making Bitcoin more accessible, we can help more people get involved and challenge the idea that it’s only for experts.

Re: Can Bitcoin Truly Disrupt Traditional Banking Systems?
by

on 26/10/2024, 08:20:17 UTC
Bitcoin isn't just a digital currency; it's challenging the traditional financial landscape. While some criticize it for its volatility and regulatory uncertainties, I see its potential to reshape access to finance. Take El Salvador, for example, which made Bitcoin legal tender; this raises questions about creating a more inclusive economy. Still, we need to tackle challenges around security and adoption to fully realize its benefits. The future of Bitcoin hinges on our ability to navigate these complexities effectively.

Nunchuck Wallet vs sparrow which is more secure long term

Both are software wallet, but both offers cold storage if I'm not mistaken.

As multiple users have mentioned in your previous post, if you want to keep things as simple and as secure as possible, then going with a singlesig hardware wallet is the way to go here.

And if you have different questions about different wallets, it's probably best to keep one topic and ask everything, instead of opening multiple ones.

Software wallets can be convenient, but they just don’t offer the same level of security as hardware wallets. With hardware wallets, your private keys are kept offline, which significantly reduces the risk of hacks. If you’re serious about keeping your assets safe, going for a hardware wallet is definitely the smarter choice.
Regarding questions, it's often helpful to bring up multiple topics at once. This way, you can compare different options and get a clearer picture of what’s available. Discussing various aspects together can really enhance the conversation and help you make more informed decisions.

I see that Bitcoin keeps gaining traction, especially with countries like El Salvador officially recognizing it as legal tender. This move might set a precedent for other nations, showing how Bitcoin could influence economies worldwide. I’ve also noticed universities beginning to invest in Bitcoin, which suggests that it's being taken more seriously as an asset. However, we should also be mindful of the volatility that comes with it. It's a fascinating time to follow these developments!

Re: Is the Cardano integration important?
by

on 26/10/2024, 07:37:29 UTC
I think it’s reasonable to have doubts about Cardano’s integration with Bitcoin. Cardano has faced a lot of criticism for its slow development and for not delivering on its promises. Plus, the crypto space is full of projects that can easily turn out to be scams. We've seen "rug pulls" happen regularly, where developers just vanish with investors' money. So, it’s really important to be cautious about announcements that seem too good to be true. I always recommend doing your own research and not getting caught up in the hype.

Re: Maulti sig vs single

on 26/10/2024, 07:24:50 UTC
Hi all wondering what the best option is as someone looking to long term hodle maulti sig or single sig ? Also which is recommended out of the 2 cold card Q vs block stream jade ? Thanks
For me, deciding between a multi-signature (multisig) wallet and a single-signature wallet for long-term storage of my digital assets is crucial. I lean towards the multisig option because it requires multiple signatures to authorize a transaction, which significantly lowers the risk of losing my funds if one device gets compromised. In contrast, a single-signature wallet is more straightforward, but the downside is substantial: if I lose my private key, I lose everything.
Regarding cold storage options, the Q card is known for its security and user-friendly design. Meanwhile, the Blockstream Jade stands out due to its compatibility with decentralized applications, which could be a great asset if I'm looking to dive deeper into the cryptocurrency space. To ensure the highest level of security, I would opt for a multisig wallet combined with a dependable cold storage solution.

The concept of airdrops sounds interesting, but I think charging users for account verification could actually turn off new investors and shrink your audience. It’s really important to build a community based on trust rather than just focusing on making money. While some airdrops, like “Dogs and Notcoin,” grab attention, there are plenty of initiatives that don’t deliver real value. To truly stand out, you need to provide genuine incentives and educate users about the risks and benefits. Relying solely on profits from previous airdrops to fund rewards could put the project's sustainability at risk. It’s crucial to create real value for users if you want long-term success.

I think charging fees to verify accounts could actually deter new investors and restrict your audience. Even with a multi-signature wallet, the risk of hacks is always present. I believe it would be wiser to focus on educating users about the market and its risks. Additionally, in such a competitive market, it's essential to offer innovative features that meet the real needs of investors, rather than just limiting it to simple verification.

Re: 'Bitcoin is Inflation-hedge' - 'Haha, we just Tax you, that's the same'
by
Nemo.vi
on 25/10/2024, 21:05:37 UTC
I am just thinking:
Yea, governments cannot print more Bitcoin. So yea, i am 'save from inflation'.

But: they just tax my profits.
That's basically the same?

1. They print fiat.
2. Every rare good on earth rises in price. Also Bitcoin.
But perhaps the buying-power keeps even exactly the same (cause everything costs more). Buying-power could even shrink while price rises in fiat terms.
3. But then they tax my 'profit', eg 28%

Imagine i always hold my buying power because Bitcoin rises with inflation, but whenever i sell Bitcoin i gotta pay those eg 28% of my profits.
Does it really matter if the state takes away my money by inflation or by taxes?

Inflation makes it that basically your assets rise and rise in dollar terms, buying power stays the same, but i have 'high profits' that have to be taxed.
I guess worst case i could imagine very high inflation, basically nearly all my principal is profit and then i get 40% taxed on it.

Once Bitcoin is in late mayority of adoption stage i think there will be no more cracy gains, it will just be a bit better than gold, keeping up with inflation. The more inflation, the more taxes you pay. So basically eg with 40% tax you are only saved from around 60% of the fiat-inflation.


Counter:
I guess taxes are cheaper than inflation. (eg 30% tax means i guess you are saved from around 70% of the inflation)
You only get taxed if you sell (unless they really go for taxing unrealized gains).
I guess governments cannot practically rise taxes superhigh cause people flee the country or smth.
I guess taxing crypto different then other asset classes hopefully doesn't fly.
Stocks and real estate are also taxed, still people who hold stocks and real estate are doing much much better with inflation than non-holders.
The idea that inflation and taxation of Bitcoin gains are equivalent seems misleading to me. Inflation erodes the value of fiat currency, while Bitcoin is designed to be a long-term store of value, protecting me from this erosion if I hold onto it. Additionally, Bitcoin can outperform other assets during inflationary periods, helping me preserve my purchasing power. Finally, even if tax rules may change, many countries are adopting favorable regulations to attract investors, making Bitcoin a potentially more lucrative investment opportunity despite taxation and inflation.

Re: Bitcoiner running for President in Suriname

on 25/10/2024, 19:47:25 UTC
This doesn't sound much like a great news to me, what will she do differently if she becomes president? Encourage the use of an alternative currency that may compete with the nation's currency?
I've seen an interview with her and she's a smart woman with a lot of energy. Could make a great president because you can see she loves that little country. With the money and ideas she's got, Maya could prosper in a developed country, but she chose a country with large inflation, corruption and limited perspectives. I hope she wins and makes a change.

Switching to Bitcoin doesn’t necessarily guarantee economic stability. It’s a highly volatile currency, and basing an entire economy on it could make things even more uncertain. In fact, the countries that have already made this choice haven’t really managed to reduce their inflation or solve their economic issues.
Even though I find Maya competent and motivated, she’ll likely face deeply rooted obstacles, like corruption and weak institutions. Tackling these issues requires more than just good intentions and ideas. Plus, such a radical change could lead to political and social tensions that might slow down reforms.

Re: How do you think crypto donations to campaigns might shape Bitcoin regulation?
by
Nemo.vi
on 25/10/2024, 19:13:19 UTC
I read that "Ripple Labs Founder Donates Another $10 Million in XRP to Support Kamala Harris," and we all know Ripple still has that ongoing SEC case. By principle, politicians shouldn't take gifts that could mess with their decision-making. So, what if Kamala becomes president? Ripple will definitely expect something back for their support.

And what if politicians take donations in altcoins, like how Trump also received some? Does that mean their decisions on regulations could end up favoring altcoins over Bitcoin?
Accepting donations in altcoins doesn’t mean that politicians will necessarily favor a specific cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency regulation is determined by multiple institutions and is always under public scrutiny. Even if Ripple supports Kamala Harris, it doesn’t guarantee that she will favor this crypto. Regulations need to consider the entire sector, not just one player

The lesson we learn from trading experience and articles we read are quite different, though the lesson from both are very important in trading but the mistakes of some beginners, they get much confidence in trading after learning only from books.
Experience gives the best lessons to traders, which beginners should never be in haste or be so confidence to trade with big amount of money by only gaining knowledge from reading books about trading.
I can help you; it's entirely possible to become a good trader without taking heavy losses at the start. Preparing thoroughly, using demo accounts, and studying well allow for learning without risking money. Confidence also comes from preparation, and a beginner doesn’t necessarily need costly mistakes to improve

Re: Just a reminder: How shitty US Dollar could be Vs Bitcoin
by
Nemo.vi
on 25/10/2024, 16:00:55 UTC
A quick search on Google will say this below on the purchasing power of dollar over decades
Quote
Since 1972, it has fallen by 99 percent against gold and lost 90 percent of purchasing power of real goods and services.
Imagine if US Dollar were a cryptocurrency, it would have been one of the most shitcoins ever.

This is just reminder that bitcoin is a paradigm that has lead the would to a new way of doing things, and a solution to both financial crisis of 2007/2008 and Double spending. It has proven to have performed even high than Gold in recent times and is probably going to be top #1 of all cryptocurrency for as long as it keeps existing.

Bitcoin is only a decade and five years old, the interest it has yeild and it's growth over the years both in price and community support has shown its uniqueness and should be taken as a serious investment. Don't trust a currency that depreciates over the years with your investment rather take advantage of bitcoin volatility today.
You can't compare USD to Bitcoin because one is a physical currency, printed and managed by the FED that's worldwide accepted and also a world reserve currency. Bitcoin is a virtual cryptocurrency with an innovation called blockchain technologies, is p2p, virtual and is based on absolutely different systems. Comparing the dollar to Bitcoin is comparing apples to oranges.

Bitcoin is also in limited quantity. There are trillions of dollars printed and in circulation around the world but there are only 19.8 million bitcoins mined where half of them are lost forever and we are left with even fewer coins.
It's true that the dollar and Bitcoin are fundamentally different, but this comparison can also be instructive. The dollar is a traditional currency, but it is subject to inflation and the monetary policy of the Fed. On the other hand, Bitcoin, while limited in supply, is also subject to its own volatility and risks such as hacks or regulation. Claiming that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation is debatable, as its history shows strong price fluctuations. Therefore, it is essential to consider not only the differences but also the economic implications of each.

Re: Bhutan sudden purchase of Bitcoin
by
Nemo.vi
on 25/10/2024, 15:32:18 UTC
Bhutan has been mining Bitcoin since 2019, but that doesn't mean they're ahead in the race. Other countries and companies are also investing in Bitcoin with different acquisition strategies. The fact that Bhutan has "organic" Bitcoins doesn’t really set them apart from others, as many actors in the market also use sustainable methods. Focusing solely on Bhutan's model without considering the diversity of approaches from other countries is a bit reductive.
Either buying or mining BTC is fine, but it is great and unique that a country is mining their own BTC, and they have been doing so for a long time now. Take note that most countries neither buys nor mine their coins, they acquire it through confiscation and forfeiture, we can all agree that it is unique for a country to get theirs through mining than confiscation.
Saying that a country mining its own Bitcoins is unique may seem true, but it’s not the only viable approach. For example, El Salvador has chosen to buy Bitcoins to diversify its reserves and stimulate its local economy. This is a strategic choice that shows purchasing can be just as relevant, if not more effective, than mining.
Similarly, the Central African Republic has legalized Bitcoin and also opted for purchasing, which demonstrates that there are multiple ways to engage in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Mining requires significant resources, including energy and infrastructure, which may not be realistic for all countries.
The costs and profitability of mining vary from one country to another. Sometimes, buying Bitcoins directly can be a quicker and more strategic solution. Ultimately, it's important to consider the different approaches and recognize that mining is not always the best option.

Re: The real enemy of bitcoin
by
Nemo.vi
on 25/10/2024, 15:12:16 UTC
Bitcoin's privacy has nothing to do with Satoshi's identity. Because, we all know Bitcoin is decentralized so it has no head or center. Satoshi's identity will not change the price or position of Bitcoin. However, trying to find Satoshi is something many people have been doing for years. Because, people are naturally curious about who created this technology. Some people will say that Satoshi hid his identity because he secretly wanted to control Bitcoin. But I want to say that nothing in the world is created by itself. Someone's hand is behind it. But the one we know as Satoshi disappeared somewhere after 2011. He is believed to have passed on to the afterlife. After 2011, today is 2024, more than 1 era, Bitcoin comes into circulation among all of us. And whose man is increasing day by day.

However, does Satoshi have any enemies?
We think that his main enemies are the banks and the government. But not so. He created Bitcoin as an alternative, not a replacement for fiat and banks, so it cannot be said that he sees banks and governments as enemies. Maybe he is not happy to depend on them too much and Bitcoin was created to reduce the dependence on them, I believe he has no desire to go against the banks and the government. (Dude, I totally agree with what you say)
I see your point about Bitcoin's decentralization, but I think Satoshi's identity could still impact how people perceive Bitcoin. If his identity were ever revealed, it might change how some view the cryptocurrency, perhaps even lead to attempts at regulation.
Regarding Satoshi's relationship with banks and governments, even though he created Bitcoin as an alternative, it's possible he saw them as obstacles to its adoption. Many believe Bitcoin is a response to the distrust of the banking system, especially after financial crises. So, it's not impossible that he had reservations about these institutions.

I've always found tax laws in the west to be very draconian. Although it makes sense because their governments' budgets heavily relies on these taxes and the more budget deficit they face and the more economic crisis they face the more they need to increase their income hence the increasing taxation.

Considering that the alternative is to print money and that would cause hardship for everyone and tank the economy, I'd say the "draconian taxation" is the lesser of two evils.
I understand your point about the need for tax revenues, but I believe that overly harsh taxation can stifle innovation and discourage businesses. Instead of raising taxes, governments could consider reducing some expenditures or reforming the tax system to encourage investment. Printing money isn't the only solution, and I think a better balance would be more beneficial for the economy in the long run.

A little bit of a correction. It isn't sudden. Neither is it a purchase. Bhutan has been mining Bitcoin for half a decade now. Using hydropower, the small and happy country has been sustainably mining Bitcoin since 2019, back when the price per coin was still $5,000.

Yes, it's the 4th largest government holder of Bitcoin but it's unique in that its coins are earned organically, fresh, unlike the others whose coins are either seized from certain wallets or bought.
