As expected, because of the recent BTC price surge other altcoin are on the move upward, and I'm sure a lot of people saw this coming, but I think the real question now is how long this trend would last.

Because we've been here a couple of time, and it would be cool if we can put a timeline on this, if it's just a temporary move, and even if it isn't, how long can we expect the bullish trend to last.

Hey everyone,
It's been a minute since I last posted here (some health issues - all good now)— always nice to come back to all the buzzing 

I have been following the news and the updates, and the next Bitcoin halving feels like another significant moment for the space. The price action, miner shifts, and even whale activity are lining up for something bigger. As Michael Saylor put it, "Bitcoin’s monetary policy is the most predictable in human history." And yet, every halving somehow brings new surprises. Am i interpreting this correctly?

I’ve also been noticing a crazy revival and boost in meme coins, since I was last following!!! especially on Solana, Base, and even Ordinals. Projects are everywhere... up, left, right, and the vibes are very much 2021 meets casino culture. Some are rug-potential, sure — but a few are getting serious, noticing with real communities. 

So I’ve got two questions for anyone reading:

🔹 How are you preparing for the halving this time? Holding, trading, stacking, or just watching?
🔹 And are there any meme coins right now that actually look promising beyond the hype? Or is it all noise before the real Bitcoin breakout?

I will make it short.
Without Bitcoin I would be nothing. Perhaps I would just have an okayish life but not the time freedom I can afford now. Bitcoin allowed me to be global, generous and polite. Thank you Satoshi, Hal Finney and everyone else including you who is reading it.

I recently watch an anime which he was given a chance to do over his life. My imagination works on what if I experience this in my life and how can start my Bitcoin journey knowing that the price will sky rocket in the future.

I belong to a poor family when Bitcoin was introduced so I don’t have any access to computers or internet that time because we can’t afford to buy one.

So everything is still very challenging on how will I acquire my first Bitcoin and how can I secure my Bitcoin on secured wallets without losing my private key from hacker or floods(my country experience a lot of typhoon every year).


I want to know what’s your do over plan in case you have a chance to do it. Will you invest on altcoins or you will just focus on Bitcoin investment including mining.

Bitcoin’s price and adoption go hand in hand. without growing adoption, we shouldn’t expect sustained price increases. After all, demand (and thus price) is a reflection of real-world usage. But here’s the challenge: Bitcoin can’t compete with fiat for everyday transactions yet. So how do we bridge that gap?

When we see Bitcoin’s price surge, it begs the questio... Will it remain just a speculative asset? If so, that makes it a risky long-term hold, especially if adoption stalls. Worse, if whales and corporations dominate supply, they could manipulate the market, turning Bitcoin into a game for the wealthy rather than the many. That would defeat its purpose entirely.

So if someone doubts Bitcoin’s future over these concerns, how do you convince them it’s here to stay and grow?

starts thinking that at some point in his life he will not be a successful businessman, but he will be a successful entrepreneur, and some people think at that time that he will do a good job. Many of those who think like this after becoming an adult are involved in investing in Bitcoin, I am only talking about these things for those people who are investing in Bitcoin now and at some point who want to set up a good business with the capital and profits of this investment. In this case, if someone wants to do this, what would be your advice for him. For example, I am now investing in Bitcoin and I will invest continuously for another seven to eight years and during this period my education will be completed.

After completing my education, I am planning to set up a good business, in that case, will I be able to set up a good business with my total Bitcoin at the end of this specific time. If I try to set up a good business, which business will be the best for me. If I do not find the right business, I have another alternative in mind, that alternative is to start an agro farm. Now my question is whether I can start this agro farm with the total amount of my investment.

Maybe many people may ask me what is the amount of your investment or whether you are investing weekly or monthly.? In answer to this question, I will say that I am investing monthly, but the amount of investment is not fixed, I invest that amount whenever I get the money. But I try to invest at least eighty to ninety dollars in Bitcoin every month.
I hope that the thought that I have centered on Bitcoin will be correct and I want to know your valuable opinion on this matter.

I’m bullish on gold. Always have been.

But I’m more bullish on digital gold.

Bitcoin isn’t just holding strong. It’s bouncing off high timeframe support on the BTC Gold ratio.

This chart looks ready to climb.

Gold has its legacy. Bitcoin has momentum.

Time for BTC to make a move back to the highs.

Digital gold season is here.

I was having an argument with my colleagues earlier about the possibility of Bitcoin surpassing Gold?
 Gold has been dominating the economy and markets for thousands of years as a means of exchange and holding wealth(even generational wealth). On the contrary, Bitcoin(which is now called digital gold) was launched in 2009 and has achieved widespread adoption and success. It has been growing rapidly ever since.

 I am not against hodling or buying bitcoin, infact i am an advocate for hodling bitcoin for the next couple of years because it’s certain there will be a huge  increase in price  to about $200,000 or higher in the future. But Gold is widely utilized compared to Bitcoin. Gold is also stable even though its price may fluctuate due to geopolitical factors and economic events whereas Bitcoin can be highly volatile.
  Gold can be more reliable, this has been proven over and over. In this digital era, Bitcoin has accessibility, portability, divisibilty advantages over Gold.

Which team do you fall into Digital Gold or Traditional Gold?

I have heard people say a Bitcoin investor is greedy. Bitcoin investors always have plans on how they want to acquire Bitcoin, how long they want to invest, and at what price they want it to sell.

We were having a discussion and someone said he would sell his Bitcoin this year immediately the price gets to $150,000. Most people saw him as been greedy. They felt it was a greedy target since it was far above what they expect from the market this year.

I told them that in Bitcoin investment risk is synonymous with greed. I am not greedy because I am predicting a higher profit; it's just risk-taking. I am sure that ten years ago anybody who said he would sell at $100,000 might be generally seen as greedy. But today, they are celebrated risk-takers.

I have never used a bitcoin ATM, nor have I ever seen one. All I know about it is what I've read from this forum and other sites, since I've never met anyone that have used it. So I would like to ask a few questions that I couldn't get the answer to online.

1. Do they require any form of identification to use? Like a passport or ID card
2. When you want to buy or sell with it, does it have P2P trading? Or does the ATM and bitcoin belong to a company, and you're simply buying from or selling to them?

 One known cataclysm that could make the whole interruption of all the telecommunications but also every electricity network is a Major big Solar storm that hits the earth!

 But what about Bitcoin..? In such case the bitcoin network would be paused, not all at once., some nodes before others.. Gradually, following the interruption areas of the internet!
 However, after all is reestablished, the normal life resumes and Bitcoin actors want to relaunch the Bitcoin network..  So first: not everybody have the same copy of the blockchain as some nodes continued recording after the others got interrupted !  And what if some entities wanted to fool the word creating completely artificial blocks and adding them to the blockchain ?  How to trust a copy of the blockchain then ?  Do all late copies should not-trusted/canceled ??


 So what of a code would be part of Bitcoin protocol and that would depend on that the network is running that could sign blindly the blocks.. (Putting like a seal on them), include in the blocks a cryptographic signature that works like authentication signature ?

It appears that after having Larry Fink as the new mayor of bitcoin we might have a president of America that will be supporting bitcoin if Trump gets the victory on November hehehe. This is certainly shocking and very unexpected. I did not know bitcoin and the cryptospace would bring him much votes because why is he doing this if this is not a trick for bitcoiners to vote him?

Former United States President Donald Trump and the leading Republican candidate for November’s election appears to be warming toward Bitcoin  BTC +1.25% , having been critical of cryptocurrencies in the past.

In January, Trump said he'll “never allow” central bank digital currency issuance in the U.S. if elected. “Such a currency would give the federal government, our federal government, absolute control over your money… They could take your money and you wouldn’t even know it was gone,” he warned at the time.

In a recent town hall on Fox News, alongside South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, Trump was asked if the next logical step was for him to embrace Bitcoin, given that it’s decentralized, the government can't get its hands on it and all the young people who are particularly interested in it, host Laura Ingraham suggested.

“I always liked one currency. I call it a currency. I like the dollar, but a lot of people are doing it [Bitcoin] and frankly, it's taken on a life of its own,” Trump replied. “You probably have to do some regulation, as you know, but many people are embracing it. And more and more, I'm seeing people wanting to pay Bitcoin, and you're seeing something that's interesting, so I can live with it one way or the other.”

You can ask to casino or exchanges to know more details about the fund. But I guess they will not tell you about that because that is their privacy. They can take it to the government or keep it for them so we will not know about that. But I don't know if casino will flagged our wallet address if we send that fund because they will not tell to us and if somehow they are suspicious, they can do that easily without telling us. But if that wallet address is not contain with suspicious activity, they will not do that. That is what I am thinking so I could be wrong as I don't know the truth.

In the terms and policies of some centralized exchange, they stated that they don't accept Bitcoins from  an untrusted source such as mixers or a wallet that has been flagged, some exchange even stated that they don't accept Bitcoins from casinos.

So, if any customer disobeys those rules and send Bitcoin from the mixer or any sources that the exchange doesn't want, they will block the persons account and the customer could lose their coins forever.
The exchange are doing so to protect their image too based on the government policies, I guess.
So, when they cease those coins, how sure are we that they will take it to the government?

Sometimes, after making such deposit, before the exchange detects it, you must have traded the Bitcoin to Fiat and withdraw it to your account, so what will the exchange do after you have already withdrawn the money to your account before they later found out that the coins was tainted?

Another thing that just popped in my head now is, what if after you deposited the Bitcoin because you needed some money and wanted to convert the Bitcoin to Fiat, but you later changed your mind and you decided to withdraw back the money to a newly created address, will the casino report that your address to be flagged?

Pls don't misunderstand, just an assumption: if Bitcoin were to reach $500 again today, do you think people would still be willing to buy?

In my opinion, it would have two implications. Firstly, it would likely have ruined many people's investments and life savings, considering those who bought in at $10k, $20k, or even $100k.
Secondly, it would reinforce the skepticism of those who don't trust digital currencies due to their perceived unreliability. So, if it happens, would you still buy it?

That's the problem. If both of us buy Bitcoin and you want to sell at $150k. Why would you say I am greedy if I want to sell mine at $200k. My conclusion is that greed is relative. What you see as greed might be a risk to me.

Hey, everybody. It's been a long time. How many millions have you made?
I haven't been here since 2019.

Children will appreciate your hard work once they get a hold of things - and it's very nice to be prepared for the future to come and especially knowledge-wise too.
