If you are Satoshi Nakamoto how would you fix today's current landscape?

if you know your Wallet ID, you can try to contact privacy@dogechain.info ask them to send you the encrypted backup of your wallet. it is protected by your password. there still a chance to recover the doge although it needs a lot of work to do.

I see the rush to retrieve lost passwords on dogecoin because it value has now increased hehehe.

Anyway, it depends on the wallet you have it. You can send an email to support and wait for response on your connected phone.

Meanwhile, I don't know if you are following the thread below, you can try using the links there. Good luck.

thanks for the thread, 15 years is a huge goal and i good know because in the past i was moderator/admin of some big forums that lasted a few years
I've never seen a forum as long-lived and used as this one
but then again we are talking about the main bitcoin forum, where Satoshi Nakamoto also wrote!

happy anniversary everyone 🦊🦊🦊🦊

I remember that day perfectly. I was quite unhappy with my health and financial instability. After multiple successful and unsuccessful surgeries, I found myself reliant on a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the limitations extended beyond just the inability to move my legs; there were significant financial costs associated with various aspects, from purchasing quality medical aids to dealing with the progression of the illness. These were the reasons for my frustration up until 2021.
On that day, when it all began, I had no idea that a phone call with a friend shortly before midnight would change everything. Lee, I am immensely grateful for that! After a long discussion, a particular sentence stuck in my mind when he likened Bitcoin to a train waiting at the station for the last passengers to board and experience a remarkable journey. That was the first time I experienced FOMO firsthand.

During my initial purchase, I was not familiar with the DCA method, and I made a mistake by investing more than I could afford due to the fear of missing out. However, I felt incredible when it went a few percent into profit. Subsequently, it dropped by more than 50%, only to surpass the previous all-time high shortly after, and then the market finally flushed it out. At that point, I felt less fantastic. Fortunately, I did not withdraw the money at a loss., held onto it, and continued to HODL and gradually accumulate, thanks to information from the internet and gaining familiarity with Bitcoin.

A big thanks go to Bitcoin Channel (Czech), where he created a series of videos titled "Introduction to Bitcoin," which I watched multiple times. The information was presented in a simple and understandable way, often with a touch of humor. I still occasionally revisit them, and the information that initially I did not understand now makes sense. I share this video series with others who I want to introduce to the world of Bitcoin, offering them valuable information to study and decide whether to dive in. I am incredibly grateful to my friend for pulling me into this.

Studying the content in the Bitcoin Channel has added a lot to my life. I had no idea how little I understood traditional finances until I study them. I was taken aback by a video where I learned that the big-dollar is not backed by anything, that it really is just about trust in the state. I was amazed at how complex Bitcoin is from a technical standpoint, yet how simple it is to use. Comparisons to a microwave or the internet showed me that we don't have to understand what's happening behind the scenes technically – codes, hashes, nonce, blockchain, and the others. Just as the average population doesn't know how a microwave works, they just press a button and heat up their food. When you want to find information on the internet, you don't have to worry about how your device connects to the server and communicates in the background with the other side. You simply type what you're looking for, press enter, and there it is. You don't even realize the technical aspect of how money is leaving your payment card, and yet it is a widespread method of payment worldwide.

Fortunately, I didn't lose faith in Bitcoin when the market hit its low in November 2022. I continued to accumulate in small portions, significantly improving my average purchase price from the previous entry during the peak of the bull market, thanks to the DCA method. I'm excited to see the reward for enduring the stress and holding on, even when things were tight. Now, with a pleasant profit, I know that I won't have to ask for help with the down payment on a new wheelchair or other expenses related to my health in the future. And I achieved this pleasant profit before reaching the ATH of 2021. What will happen with greater adoption? When the entry of large institutions fully manifests? When the next halving occurs? When FOMO grips new people entering Bitcoin? I don't know. But I firmly believe that this small appreciation will gradually increase, and I will fulfill my dream of financial independence, with an ongoing improvement in the quality of my life.

In conclusion, with this contribution, I want to convey the following to people, especially those deciding to enter the world of Bitcoin: Educate yourself, stay informed, and don't panic. Only invest what you are willing to lose. I didn't come up with this advice; wiser, more experienced individuals did, and I listen to them. If you encounter any issues, reach out to people who understand it better and have valuable experience. I found support in the Bitcoin Community group on Facebook.

I wish everyone, especially those who managed to read this far, robust health!

Thank you, Satoshi!

Since Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin in 2008, the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry has experienced several bull markets, each accompanied by the birth of new technological models. Each new technological breakthrough has led the market, attracting investors' attention and forming new hotspots. In this process, countless innovative projects have emerged. Although the hotspots are complex, overall, it is technological innovation that has driven the development of the industry. It becomes particularly important to comb through the development trajectory of the industry in the face of investment institutions' demand for predictions.

We believe that only genuine innovative models can lead the industry forward, and those projects that merely replicate, follow trends, or rehash old ideas cannot become industry leaders. The development of the industry mainly revolves around the innovation and evolution of two types of models: asset models and trading models.

Innovation in Asset Models
The first-generation asset model, led by Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin (BTC), spearheaded the wave of decentralized digital currencies. Subsequently, projects with unique functions like Peercoin (PPCoin), Primecoin, and Colored Coins emerged. However, no matter how these projects added novel features, they could not escape Nakamoto's basic infrastructure—distributing new digital currencies through mining or other mechanisms.

The second-generation asset model was born from the emergence of Ethereum and the introduction of smart contracts, leading to the creation of ERC20 tokens. These tokens no longer required an independent blockchain but operated on Ethereum's consensus mechanism. Due to their ease of use, ERC20 tokens quickly gained market recognition and became the main actors of the 2015-2017 bull market.

The third-generation asset model is represented by NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), ERC721 tokens. NFTs shone brightly in the 2020-2021 bull market, driving a large number of artists and creators to join the blockchain industry.

Recently, inscription tokens based on the Bitcoin network have become a new rising force. This asset model maintains the same fairness characteristics as Bitcoin, attracting the attention of a large number of investors, indicating that it may lead to a new bull market.

Asset models have undergone several rounds of innovation, increasingly reflecting the innovative spirit of the cryptocurrency community, although driven by the demand for coin speculation. The biggest problem with asset models is that merely creating a new asset is hard to gain mainstream capital support. Although countless ordinary retail investors flock to it, institutional funds rarely hold more interactive or guaranteed token assets in large scale. This also shows that pure asset model innovation is not enough to support the entire industry.

Evolution of Trading Models
The innovation of trading models provides more on-chain interactions and application scenarios, attracting the attention of institutional investors. The trading model has evolved from off-chain to on-chain, from simple to complex, and from traditional financial paradigms to blockchain paradigms.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a milestone in trading models, making it possible to finance projects through token exchanges. Despite its simplicity, ICOs still attracted a significant participation of institutional investors in the 2015-2017 bull market.

Subsequently, the industry's demand for on-chain matching trading models led to the birth of the AMM (Automated Market Maker) model. The AMM model was widely popular in the 2020-2021 DeFi boom, adopting this model for spot, derivatives trading, and lending.

However, the AMM model is not the best paradigm for derivatives trading and does not reflect the decentralized spirit of blockchain algorithmic pricing and risk sharing. Therefore, the new SCP (Smart Contract Counterparty Model) was created: an algorithmic pricing model where all traders act as buyers, and the contract is the only seller. This model solves the two major problems of pricing and liquidity, eliminating the need for matching and market makers, and providing a commission-free, slippage-free, unlimited liquidity trading experience, a revolutionary change to the traditional financial paradigm.

In summary, we expect the new bull market to be ignited by new asset models, stimulating industry enthusiasm, followed by new trading models leading the industry to further development. More professional institutional investors will enter the industry, forming a large market that can compete with traditional finance. In this process, technological innovation will be the core and key to driving the development of the industry.
