Re: Which Browser do you use?
by
Shawheer Khan
on 09/08/2025, 09:00:45 UTC
I used Ninjastic to see if there are relevant posts, but I found some very old ones, so I created a new thread.

I thought the Service Discussion board was a good fit, but if not, I can move it elsewhere.

I am using:
1. Firefox with Ad Blockers.
2. Tor.
3. For a search engine, I am using DuckDuckGo.

My main concerns to opt for a browser are:
(a) no ads
(b) as less third-party cookies as possible
(c) HTTPS-Only Mode should exist at least as an option
(d) good protection against fingerprinting

Some good ones I 've heard of but haven't used:
  • Brave
  • DuckDuckGo browser
  • Librewolf

I think it all comes down to sacrificing one feature for another. It's evident that security & privacy frequently sacrifice speed and convenience and vice-versa.

I 've seen multiple suggestions over the internet about which browser is best to use. I am curious to know your thoughts. I 'd like you to provide some concise reasoning behind your suggestions.
The Og chrome is the Best

You brought up a lot of ggod points. This dip around 114k definitely looks like a local bottom bounce. But as we've all seen before, Bitcoin doesn't move in a straight line. A bit of sideways and even a deepper retrace wouldnt be shocking. Especially with some people eager to sell in strength. Fire sales? Maybe. But I think the temporary breaks in an upward trend are where the strong hands Step in.

Your strategy with the staggered buys and sells really makes sense as it's a calm and calculated approach in an emotional market. This kind of system-based DCA+laddered-exit plan can quietly gain while everyone else is trying to time tops and bottoms. Even if each individual fill doesn’t make a massive difference, over 10+ cycles it really starts compounding and showing itself.

And yes, The corrections of 25%+ can shake he tree really hard but like you said its part of the process. Whether we get a V-shape pattern or grind down steady these phases will work to reset leverage and get rid of weak hands.

In the end it's still a game of patience and positioning. The bears might feel bold for a bit but they'll over stay their welcome

How could you not understand that you're being sucked up to for merits by now by people who have never actually bought bitcoin and never intend on it. You've been doing it for years. Others see you meriting suck-up shitposts, and that encourages them to also suck up to you. Its a vicious cycle. You're basically enabling the next generation of beggars, encouraging them to perfect the art of ass kissing instead of learn anything else whatsoever. Do you have zero introspective ability?

This is the entire reason they are here, is because you merited this post, which was a response to you:

You brought up a great point and I agree...
...
I also liked how you mentioned the importance of flexibility in making decisions.

The other stuff they write is just a regurgitation of what you've already written a hundred times. They write it because they know its in alignment with your own beliefs, not because they actually believe it.

Buddy is done with sales for a while.

I'll do one BuddyBlocker for you, Phil.  You probably fell asleep, anyhow.  Not Buddy.  You, Phil.

I wonder about Buddy being on a potentially temporary break from bitcoin sales.. fire sales perhaps? There does seem to be support, but yeah we can sometimes start to feel momentum too.. so momentum for down?  is such downity momentum possibly in the cards?

That was a bit of a bounce at right around $114,518 (our current local bottom)... So yeah, a reprieve for now, and it is difficult to know any real reason for such correction, except that bitcoin never goes completely straight up, so frequently there are needs for the breaks in the UPpity, whether for a few days or maybe a few weeks..  

I realized that my buy orders were in the mid $115ks and not in the lower $115ks.. . which either way is o.k. and does not make a lot of difference to me since they are kind of formulaic... and they either fill or not.. so right now next buy order lower $112k, and next sell order is mid $119ks.. and yeah, currently selling almost same dollar value and buying back same dollar value, which largely means a certain portion of extra BTC are accumulated in the process, but a few orders do not make much of a difference, even though 10 orders make more difference.. in the whole scheme of things.. but these days, 10 orders might span over $35k on the way down, yet getting close to spanning over $50k on the way up for 10 sell orders.

It does make a BIGGER difference if the BTC price were to correct like 25% or more, but even that would be a bit of a distraction, since sometimes we will get fairly deep corrections, and they will play out rapidly.  On other occasions, we will get stuck in the downity area for a few weeks or even a couple of months...  

On the way, we may or may not get an interruption of corrections, but yeah, likely the bears would have to get beaten up several times in order to incentivize them to stop placing sell and/or short orders..

What are some of the best books you read on the subject of money, investing and economics?

for me the first two that I'd recommend at an entry level are

"The psychology of money" by Morgan Housel
and "the richest man in babylon" by George s. Clason

both are really good to get the concepts and principles on investing and how to deal better with money

but there are many other good ones
what are some you'd recommend?

I think rich dad poor dad is one of the best book regarding financial knowledge. It taught me the difference between assets and Liabilities and why the poor remains poor and how the rich make money work for the. Definitely a must read.

Just yesterday, I went 100% long on POPCAT with 20x leverage. Things looked good at first, but within 30 minutes, the price came back to my entry point and I ended up making nothing on the trade.

Is there a smart way to protect my trades or reduce the risk? Any advice would really help.

It's good that you didn't lose money because many traders including me have lost money trading high Leverage. That's the most common way people lose in trading because people become greedy and trade with getting quick money in their Mind. So the First thing you should do is become disciplined and then trade with capital that you can bear to lose. Another thing you should not do is going against the trend you should always go with the trend and don't trade every move but trade with perfect setups. And it won't be long till you become profitable.

It is a deep question. But before dying we have to live also.We are remembered because of our actions and what we achieve. We should not make Death an excuse for not doing hardwork.  We have to make our mortal life worth it. And we have to work hard to be remembered. Because I believe in the saying "you do not die when you are buried but when your name is taken for the last time" So I work as hard as I can to be Alive forever.

Re: Currency Debasement Vs Inflation
by

on 24/07/2025, 11:59:42 UTC
Inflation means rising prices. Currency devaluation is when people lose trust in money because of political or economic decisions. But it's an interesting point to consider overprinting of fiat debasement. I've always thought of debasement in the context of silver, gold and such matters, but I believe you are right that nowadays the method is different, but the point is the same.
When money becomes unstable, it’s hard for people to save, plan, or grow. Bitcoin offers more than just technology—it’s an idea: value based on clear rules, limited supply, and freedom from central control. It’s not perfect—it's volatile and needs some skill to use. But it's a step toward financial freedom in a world where stability is no longer guaranteed.

Yeah, you are right that Bitcoin is volatile and needs a little skill to use. But i think making or preserving wealth is not a small task. If a person is wise enough to think about preserving his savings value than he for sure is wise enough for Bitcoin and to build skills accordingly.

Our level of aggressiveness or whimpiness is a choice, and there are ways to be aggressive without overdoing it, and surely the more aggressive we are, the more we run the risk of overdoing it in one way or another.. yet I doubt that being aggressive is a negative because we are able to tailor it to our own aspirations, and try to keep in mind if we might be pushing the boundaries too much in terms of starting to have negative consequences associated with our level of aggressiveness.
You are absolutely right, aggressiveness itself is a negative energy that brings in bad results, which can damage an individual lives.

Though aggressiveness is an emotion, which can be control by an individual if they don't want it to escalate, because if not control or balanced, it can affect in different areas of life like relationships, work etc.

Also, having self-regulation can help in adjusting their emotions or balancing to prevent any negative things that will be caused by aggression.

Your bot might need to better learn how to comprehend what you are reading...   You are mischaracterizing, misunderstanding and/or perhaps you have no fucking clue about what I said.  You are just making up your own bullshit spin.

In regards to bitcoin investing, we use the term aggressive to show how much a guy might prioritize investing into bitcoin so relatively speaking he chooses a higher level of his discretionary income is put into bitcoin, so the more and more aggressive he is, then he might make mistakes and overdo it or miscalculate and go beyond his discretionary income.  So, sometimes guys can inadvertently overdo their aggressiveness in their bitcoin buying, and I frequently proclaim that guys should attempt to invest into bitcoin as aggressive as they can without overdoing it, so they have to figure out how much investing into bitcoin and prioritizing investing into bitcoin is enough, but not too much for them and their circumstances..

For sure, so many folks do not invest in bitcoin at all, so it seems to me that it would be better for them to choose to invest into bitcoin, even if they were to invest into bitcoin whimpily rather than not at all, so from my perspective, investing whimpily into bitcoin is better than not investing at all.

In the end, each of us chooses whether or not to invest into bitcoin, and then we also choose our level of aggressiveness or our whimpiness in terms of how much of our discretionary income we invest into bitcoin.  We have to have discretionary income in order to invest in bitcoin, otherwise if we buy bitcoin out of money that we need for expenses, then we are trading/gambling rather than investing and we are also overdoing our aggressiveness from my perspective. 

There is no exact right answer, even though there are consequences to our actions, and historically, bitcoin has rewarded those who have invested into it and has rewarded those who aggressively invested into bitcoin even moreso, since bitcoin has been a quite positively performing asset, and aggressiveness was rewarded, so long as they did not overdo it.  Since we are currently at all time highs in our BTC prices, anyone who errored on the side of investing into bitcoin over the years, has ended up doing quite well over the years, and sure the longer that they have been in bitcoin, buying bitcoin and holding bitcoin the better for their finances, yet they also need to have enough income to be able to pay for their living expenses while they are investing into bitcoin over the years.

[edited out]
You can buy with your discretionary income using DCA method. How much of your discretionary income you invest is entirely up to you. But I think if you invest 5% to 25% of your discretionary income, it will be much better for you. You can buy aggressively during the downturn with the remaining money you have.

A standard of aiming for 5% to 25% of a guys income to go into bitcoin is referring to general income, not to discretionary income.

Of course if a guy is investing 25% of his income into  bitcoin, there is a presumption that the discretionary income is at least 25% of the guy's regular income, and then if is investing 100% of his discretionary income, he might be on the border of overdoing it.

There are some guys who have fairly high levels of discretionary income, so surely the higher their discretionary income, the more options they have in regards to how to use such discretionary income, whether investing, consumption or putting into back up funds.

It would be erroneous to suggest that guys invest 5% to 25% of their discretionary funds and act as if that would automatically be reasonable, since for some folks such levels of investment into bitcoin might be whimpy or overly whimpy in terms of their overall abilities, and/or wants.

You brought up a great point and I agree that the discussion around Bitcoin Investment shouldn't necessarily have to be a competition with others but rather it should be a competition with your limitations and circumstances.

Each person's financial situation and goals are different. What might seem aggressive to one person might be too normal for another person. For example a Father supporting his family allocate 40% of his discretionary income and still feel he's investing too much but on the other hand a single person would feel 40% normal or even little and can invest 70-80%.

I also liked how you mentioned the importance of flexibility in making decisions. But it's not just about weekly DCA it's about how a person reacts to unexpected income like bonuses or profits. If he invests it, saves it or spends it. This reflects the persons strategy, risk management and overall mindset.

In the end, I think the goal isn’t to match or beat someone else's level of aggression it’s to find a balance that you are satisfied with and can spend your life. being aggressive doesn't have to mean being reckless.it means pushing limits while still being in your comfort zone.

1) Losses are part of the game. Losing your money doesn’t mean you are a failure, It means you’ve learned something, if you take time to understand why the lose happened in the first place.

2) Don't be in a hurry. The reason why most newbies tend to loose alot is because they jump into every green candle they see without taking time to understand why it was
I think these two points are the most important. Firstly, The thing that's really important and is underrated is, Not Being In A Hurry. If you are not in a hurry you are less likely to Lose in the markets. Most people that lose money are because of them using High Leverage in hopes of doubling or tripling the monry in a few trades but they get liquidated. The reason they Do this is they are In a hurry and the The market Humbles People who are in a hurry.

If you're not in a hurry and take calculated trades then the other factor to increasing chances of profitability is Learning to accept losses. No trader in the world has a 100% win rate. Even the Best of Best traders lose money and that's completely fine because loses teach us lessons. Losses are fine as long as you are not using 2000× Leverage  Wink

This forum has changed my perspective of Bitcoin. Before joining, I thought that Crypto, Mainly Bitcoin was just used for Speculation and taking trades based on some technical analysis and that it would only reward us short-term. But in this forum i came to know better about Bitcoin. And after knowing about Bitcoin, How it works and why is it different than fiat currency. It has made me realize that Bitcoin is the Future and can reward people very much in the Long Term as it has no major Flaws it's almost perfect for people who want to preserve their wealth. It can be used against inflation, Used to increase value of your money and The Best it's Fully In Your Control No Centralized power controls it. And that's what makes it the Best.

What do you do to a trading strategy that already earns you a good percentage in profit. do you still try improving on it to ensure it does not fail? or do you let it be until it starts showing signs of failure?

It is a simple question but I think answers and opinions will be different considering that some traders may fear further tampering with the strategy, others will no want to wait until it fails, what is your style?

with the current strategy that you have and is giving you good percentage of profit you should first be grateful because no one gets a good strategy without giving in effort. But there would have been a lot of strategies existed In the past that gave good return but the chances are really low that people are still using that same strategy that they used 5-10 years ago. Because of the rapidly changing world there comes different factors that affect the market. It may be because of the economic situation of the world, a country or because of whales that manipulate the Market.
one strategy can't always work . If the current strategy you have is working it's good but you should have a few backup strategies locked and loaded that can take over when this stops working.

START with DEMO account and learn a lot before starting with real money
I agree with some of your given points and it is really important for someone to be knowledgeable about trading before going into the market and risking a lot of their money. But this knowledge can't be gained using demo trading as it won't involve the emotions and the psychology of the person trading whereas trading real money does.

I'm not saying to risk all of your money in trading but it's good to first use 5% of your trading capital to trade for learning. It's  not much and will give you so much knowledge about the importance of discipline, emotional control, and psychology.

 If one uses a small amount for their learning in the Market it will be more beneficial and knowledgeable than any of the paid course available. And to learn the basics YouTube is full of courses.

Re: Bitcoin as a Neutral Asset: Can it Really Stay Apolitical in a Fragmented World
by
Shawheer Khan
on 21/07/2025, 12:07:08 UTC
With everything happening globally, from political tensions to economic shifts, Bitcoin is often championed as a truly neutral, apolitical money. It's supposed to be censorship-resistant and borderless, right?

But I'm starting to wonder if it can really stay completely outside of global politics and conflicts. We've seen discussions around sanctions, attempts to control usage in certain regions, and countries looking at it differently based on their own agendas. Can Bitcoin truly maintain its apolitical, neutral status in a world that seems to be getting more fragmented? Or will it inevitably get drawn into geopolitical battles, even if it's just by association?

Curious to hear the community's thoughts on this complex topic. Is neutrality its biggest strength, or its biggest challenge in the coming years?
I think neutrality of bitcoin is one of its strengths right now. But as it becomes more common and starts getting used around the world it will become harder for Bitcoin to be sompletely away from geopolitics.

Governments don't like to losing control and when Bitcoin is used to bypass sanctions, capital controls or centralised monetary policies it will automatically get pulled into the spotlight.

We've already seen mining operations impacted by regulation, exchanges forced to comply with sanctions and countries labelling Bitcoin based on their interests. The protocol might stay neutral but the infrastructure and perception might not stay neutral as there will be pressure by government and they can run FUD campaigns and many more etc.

So yes neutrality may be Bitcoins strength but in the coming years it could also become its biggest challenge. The more power it gives people the more resistance it will face from governments.

Currency Debasement Vs Inflation
by
Shawheer Khan
on 21/07/2025, 09:38:20 UTC
currency debasement vs inflation | Why are they Not the Same

When we hear about rising prices and the devaluation of money, two terms often get used: inflation and currency debasement. People think they are the same thing but they aren't. They are closely related but not the same.

Understanding the difference between Debasement and Inflation is really important, especially for those who care about sound money.

What is Inflation?

Inflation is the rise in the prices of goods and services over time. It is usually measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Some Causes of Inflation are:
  • Increased demand (demand-pull inflation)
  • Rising production costs (cost-push inflation)
  • Too much money chasing too few goods

When inflation is moderate (like 2% yearly), it’s often seen as “healthy” for a growing economy. But when it gets more than that it is said to be out of control and purchasing power drops rapidly.

What is Currency Debasement?

Currency debasement is when a currency loses its value due to actions usually done by the government or central bank.

In the past, it meant reducing the gold or silver content in coins. Today, it's more about printing excessive fiat money or manipulating interest rates and monetary policy.

Key causes of debasement:
    [-] Excessive money printing (quantitative easing)
    [-] High levels of national debt
    [-] Central banks suppressing interest rates to boost spending

Quote
Unlike inflation, which can happen for various reasons, currency debasement is usually a policy decision that slowly erodes the value of money over time.
It is usually done to reduce the value of debt on a country. For example if a country has 1 billion debt and the money loses 5% value. This now means the debt is 5% worth less. Another reason is to attract global markets by making the export rates cheaper.

Inflation vs Debasement | What’s the Main Difference?
Currency debasement is the cause in which more money is printed and money loses its value whereas Inflation is the effect of currency debasement in which the Prices of Goods Increases.

Why It Matters (Especially for Bitcoiners)

People buy Bitcoin because they see fiat currencies being debased. When they store their wealth in Fiat currency they devalue their money over time. While CPI inflation may show 3–4%, the real loss of purchasing power over decades is far worse due to constant debasement.

Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21m is the opposite of debasement. It’s designed to resist inflation and preserve value over time. That is why many call it “digital gold.”

Conclusion:

Inflation and currency debasement often walk together but they’re not same. Debasement is the slow poison. Inflation is the symptom we feel.

In the fiat system, both are dangerous. In Bitcoin, both are resisted.
