Bitcoin is currently trading at $100,000, and demand is growing. Will it reach one billion in the next few years? Is this an exaggeration, or is it even possible?
The title of the thread says a million in weeks, the content says a billion in years… where do me make our next really!
If you say Bitcoin would reach a million in the coming weeks, I’m not on that boat. That would be way too much of an exaggeration. The idea is to stay optimistic but one of the best ways of doing it is having some near to reach targets like $150k. A million isn’t feasible at this time but, their might be a time, far back in the distant future when this would be possible.
Now, when this is booming and big, regret always comes at the end, because if it's at the beginning, it's called registration.
In this regard, when I joined this forum, I felt enlightened and gained insight into the importance of investing and the movement of Bitcoin. I also believe that Bitcoin will eventually become a benchmark or a standard for modern investment.
Thank you. Please provide guidance, assistance, and direction.
A lot of opportunities often come to light in the minds of the masses when it’s booming.In this regard, when I joined this forum, I felt enlightened and gained insight into the importance of investing and the movement of Bitcoin.

That’s the difference between investors and regular people in the society. Investors are able to identify the opportunity as it first develops and take chances of it without waiting on it to boom.
The good thing about Bitcoin is, even at this stage when we consider it to be booming, it still lacks the majority and as a limited or scarce currency, the more the demand on it which is inevitable, the more the increase in price. Which means, we might as well be way too early.
Re: Emergency Access for Bitcoin Wallets – a Thought Experiment
- Ideally, it would preserve maximum security, so your keys aren’t exposed unnecessarily, but the funds are accessible to your trusted people.
You’ve just explained what you want us to skip out of it but, to stay on course with this thread, skipped!
I don’t see how we would keep maximum security by having several persons to be an access point to our wallets in any loss or damage eventuality. What you end up with is more dangers to your wallet. This is because, though these guys might be trusted, it doesn’t mean they would always stay out of trouble or the company they keep would always be good ones.
One thing could lead to another and the need to access your wallet for some way out funds can arise, you don’t get to do nothing about some prompt because you didn’t notice and your funds is gone.
What you are suggesting isn’t weird, it’s typical with adding recovery emails to an email address. I just don’t think it suitable for Bitcoin wallet. There is security in privacy and that doesn’t mean, you don’t duplicate your seed phrase for accessibility elsewhere while keeping it private.
I am going to say that online casinos have better jobs because they have a much smaller overhead. Less employees, less rent, less electricity costs, and likely they are incorporated in a country with less taxes and regulation. Physical casinos would have to charge higher fees or be significantly less profitable.
To add to it, every online casino seems to have a means for just anyone at anytime to verify if a gamble is fair and their are people or groups that takes these seriously and given the much competitors out there, they are always about giving nothing short of the best of services and bonuses to make them stand out. Physical casinos don’t give much about that and they’ve got more cost than the online casino which would reflect on how fair and what odds they provide to maximize profit.
What i offer is risk-free % up to 30-35% from the profit that i make, with no risk soever for the account holder. Anyone here can help me with this?
Not having to request an account owner to deposit own funds doesn’t necessarily mean it’s risk free for the account owner. Let’s not forget how some gamblers use gambling for money laundering which is why, many casinos have an AML policy in place and should it come to that, you certainly wouldn’t be the first suspect.
May I remind you that, you’ve been a gambler for the past 15years doesn’t mean this act of buying or using other gamblers account for gambling is right, it’s well against the policy and when found, we would find yet another scam accusation on the designated board and that wouldn’t be nice.

Re: To have kids or not to? Your opinion from economy perspective
unless one is well off himself one should not be having kids, this is my opinion.
What about you?
What about you?
Coming from a third world country, you get to find out many people earning below the minimum wage if they earn from some work at all, having more kids than those that we might consider to be living well above the standards of living.
At times, this comes under culture and what people consider as wealth or good living. Some find this in the context of having to shelter and cloth them as we see with the nomads and others can as well count their wealth in the number of children they’ve got.
Overtime, you find many panhandles employing the services of their kids well below 10years of age, asking for arms on the streets, running towards vehicles in traffics and approaching strangers on the walkway to seek aids. It’s always a terrible sight and no matter what you do to help, they are never off the street and never tries to stop panhandling. To these persons, more children means more children on the streets to seek aid. You always find them on them nursing kids and you wonder just how are these persons still having unprotected s*x and more kids.
I don’t think they shouldn’t have kids, even them too needs to continue their lineage but, it should be limited as such with hopes that, their kids if not given, might be able to find a better future for themselves.
WHAT IS A COMPETITIVE ECONOMY
A competitive economy is an economy where no single seller or buyer has a monopoly over the market in terms of influencing the price of the market but market price is only regulated by the forces of simple demand and supply, It should be noted that a competitive economy is usually associated with free entry and exit without any interference or protection by an state a competitive economy gives all participants a level playing ground without any unfair advantage by any party a competitive economy is efficient because firms can't make excessive profit because Competition brings down the cost of production over time which gives rise to economic stability and prosperity.
I wasn’t sure of the term before as I felt it could all be summed under competition but, it indeed exists and most importantly, it has bring in the government of a state to ensure their is a complete absence of monopoly in the production and distribution of goods and service in a nation state.A competitive economy is an economy where no single seller or buyer has a monopoly over the market in terms of influencing the price of the market but market price is only regulated by the forces of simple demand and supply, It should be noted that a competitive economy is usually associated with free entry and exit without any interference or protection by an state a competitive economy gives all participants a level playing ground without any unfair advantage by any party a competitive economy is efficient because firms can't make excessive profit because Competition brings down the cost of production over time which gives rise to economic stability and prosperity.
This is one means to foster creativity, efficiency in production and making products available at a more affordable price. It even creates jobs as, it leads to the creation of a research department that would understudy other closely related companies and itself through surveys in order to emerge as the best and be more productive.
City's chances of losing this match are high. Their performance is weak. On the other hand, Tottenham players are performing unexpectedly well today. Especially Richarlison, Palhinhna and Johnson are playing brilliantly.
It’s not a good idea to actually rule out a game before the final whistle but as it is, Manchester City has lost this game. It would be their first loss at home for the season. I don’t know what Pep was thinking, leaving Silva, Doku and Rodri on the bench but, surely it’s not paying off as it is with the likes of Richarlison, Kudus, Johnson and Bentancur running the Tottenham frontlines deep into Manchester City’s back and pushing them to make mistakes that could be goal scoring opportunities.
Re: Difference between keeping seed phrase, private and secret.
⭐ Merited by NurseHub (3)
These two words are often used when someone is advising you about securing your bitcoin investment, but thinking about it, the context may be misunderstood clearly by people in different situations who nor really understand well.
I go use the two word for sentence, so we go fit understand am wella, and na-
- Keep your seed phrase private.
- keep your seed phrase secret.
Me I understand say the purpose of the two statements mean the same thing, but for different people the actual meaning dey different. Make I explain.
If you have a trusted partner, wife or husband wey two of una dey on the same motion, keeping your seed phrase a secret, fit affect una marriage unto say e go be like you nor trust them enough, so in that case, the better word na to say make dem keep am private not secret.

I don read these statements at least thrice before I got actually come up with a difference. Them similar no be small but the difference be say, one na composite of the other. Make I explain:
Private na the ultimate form of secrecy. When something Dey kept private, e mean say, another eye no ever suppose see am or know about am. Take for example, private parts. You shah know say, you no suppose allow people Dey see you naked. When you reach that stage to make am public, na you know watin you Dey do.
When it comes to secret or secrecy, something fit Dey shared amongst one or two persons or even a group of persons and then, e still remain secret via say, these persons know themselves and them don agree to not share that thing with other persons. Take for example, secret cults.
Ever since I joined this forum, I have not used these two words before while talking or posting about what is related to seed phrase. How are they important?
Letting your family or your children or your wife know or not know about your seed phrase can easily be communicated without mentioning private or secret.
Letting your family or your children or your wife know or not know about your seed phrase can easily be communicated without mentioning private or secret.
This explains how conscious of the words and disciplined you must be to have purposefully abstain from using them at all and na true you talk, e get how you go arrange something way be say, others go get the message even out you making it clear.
Early in Bitcoin users called these things "orphan blocks" because when they were the miner of the blocks the coinbase payment to them would show as "orphan" in the wallet. But it wasn't the block that was orphan, it was the transaction-- the transactions parent block no longer existed in the wallet's view of the chain. Some people complained about the use of the term "orphan block" because that term was already in use in side the software for blocks whose parent wasn't yet fetched, because when bitcoin saw a new block it fetched backwards along the chain until it got to the genesis block. Instead, they suggested people should use the term "stale block". But the 'missing parent' usage of the term "orphan block" isn't something anything but developers were aware of because the parents always (eventually) got fetched and so users were never aware of these temporary "orphans". Stale blocks however are common and are of some interest to users (particularly miners). The term orphan block continued to be used to refer to stale blocks by users. And whenever you hear someone say "orphan block" they are just referring to stale blocks.
This is especially true because the Bitcoin software was changed long ago so that 'orphan blocks' (ones where the parent isn't known) are just completely impossible: Nodes now only fetch blocks when they're part of a header chain, and so the parents are *always* known.

This makes a lot of sense now as it explains why the term seems the same in its definition because and can be used interchangeably because, they are indeed the same as suspected when going through the link provided by ABCbits and it’s indeed confirmed in the link provided by Satscraper. The simplified visual diagram explains it quite well.
I'm glad to hear this, I have never tried to screenshot my seed phrase before because I know the implications of doing so, nothing is entirely safe and secret online, one way or another information can be hacked. The safety of your seed phrase is 100% your responsibility, you cannot blame your wallet provider if it is compromised in anyway, that is every wallet owners must make the security of their seed phrase a top priority. Seed phrase is the price of self custody, without it in your custody your coins can become somebody else's coins if they import it to another wallet.
It’s a mistake few persons entirely new to cryptocurrencies make, the idea of going to get pen and paper or some diary to write it down in for first verification always seems tasking and so, they would want to screenshot. Some wallets wouldn’t even let you but, that’s rightly something you shouldn’t do as, you never can tell whom might get into your device someday, either authorized or not and can have access to that seed.

The nature of Proof of Work is in a way that 51% attack is a real attack vector but it depends on a big "if". IF one entity can gain control of such a large hashrate they can theoretically carry out such an attack.
2 more things, you can't really compare any altcoins with bitcoin.
Also this already happened a long time ago in bitcoin as well. The mining pool was called GHash.io back in 2014 and it briefly gained more than 50% of the total hashrate (for real) and nothing was halted and nothing broke. The miners left that pool (switched to other pools) and its hashrate came down.

No entity owns enough dominant hashrates to do 51% attack on the network.
Another bigger if is, when an entity has that dominating hashrate and is able to do 51% attack on the network, will that entity do this?
These attacks also count as short term gains and mining though a rewarding activity, miners are more interested in the technology than these short term gains from attacks.
How can someone who is from day one profit-oriented care about privacy?
Only a few were involved in Bitcoin because of its decentralization and privacy feature in the past, and few of them still know the importance of privacy and protecting it, and only a few of the new users consider it important.

I hear cheers when Michael Saylor announces another huge bitcoin buy or when another company jumps on the bandwagon of starting up a crypto treasury. I have the opposite reaction, because those people and institutions are the man, people. I don't think any big company is buying up Monero to basically cook their books and make it look like their core business is more profitable than it is. All of this talk about privacy, and yet there's this big elephant in the room: you can jump through all of these hoops to try to make your bitcoin usage more private, but if you really wanted privacy why not use a coin that was purpose-built for it and didn't have to have a bunch of layer 2 strap-ons to make good after the fact?
You raised some interesting concerns in this as, this isn’t the case with what we’ve seen. Like the name implies, they mainly stands for the treasury of their buys and very few of them care about its development as it is. Using a coin for the purpose it was made would have been a more effective direction but, we just know that isn’t going to be the case anytime soon. When it’s more about the treasury of the buys, it’s a narrative that they spread too to even petty or small investors.

We moved into a phase where we have both Bitcoin treasury and development company taking up the frontlines to Bitcoin investments, not just having to bring in the big bucks but are indeed granting interviews and being very open on their perspectives and plans for Bitcoin. It’s only normal that we see Bitcoin chart a new course..
The momentum sustained by the bears through $118k through $115k with all its long candles has been lost about the $115k price range and the bulls are gathering a little momentum to push back so, we might not find price dump below $110k within the week before it pushes back up in the worst case scenario.
Change directions
SecondedHow is bitcoin going to spread if no one wants to admit that they use bitcoin? You expect bitcoin to still have value if everyone is secret about it?
Something about human nature, not all advices would be adhered to. It doesn’t matter if they are good advices or a bad one. One must get to choose at some point, which one is more beneficial and rewarding to them and which is not.
That’s why we have early adopters and late adopters. Most persons in this era would want to consider themselves late adopters because, they only recently knew and came aboard Bitcoin using the price factor at this time as a reason for such but, time would tell just how early or late they’ve been with Bitcoin always appreciating on the long run.
While we would be concerned about our security and find that in privacy, once a word if off your lips to at least 2 persons, that’s hardly a secrete anymore. It doesn’t mean you would have to spill your guts to everyone and anyone, you must do so to a selected few that are enthusiastic towards learning and visionary in any new development. It still doesn’t mean you get to declare your holdings as a means to motivate, you build interest in the technology and what it could do or mean for the people who own them now and in the future.
When it’s sensitive, you get sensitive on how you handle its publicity too especially if you know you could be targeted.
I would say no and yes as well. Why did I have to choose either position:
Yes: This is because, gambling as an addict ensures the betting company keeps earning more money and that’s in the scenario where you are not winning most of your bets as an addict. What’s the excuse, they are not aware although, they warn about this too.
No: This is in the sense that, when you eventually discover that you are addicted and concerned enough to change the narrative, you would seek therapy and that means, they’ve lost one customer and active gambler.

What I know is that gambling sites will like people to put more money on their account on the gambling site so that the gambling site can make money from their customers. Every business likes money as they want to grow.
Of course it’s the case, it’s a business that profits from your losses and if you don’t loose, they don’t make money so, you are always welcomed to gamble away.some said that it’s because the philippines is a poor country and that’s why they get addicted easily but is it possible that most gamblers who got addicted are old people past retirement and have nothing else to do anymore?
I don’t know for the Philippines but, where I’m from, I don’t see many aged gamblers in the gambling shops. It’s mainly a youth’s thing as, they’ve got the strength to stand if need be and the energy to be on top of their voice in an argument or discuss the games they are about. Youths often lead in these as, most of the age persons knows better and they often play just to continue an activity they’ve been involved with since their youth.
Should we consider the poverty of a state in this, I think yes. It indeed plays a role as, the poor often see gambling for a means to make money. Either money to get by the day with or enough money to salvage their poverty state.
