My imagination is highly active, i tend to think outside the box.

I decided to see if "Satoshi Nakamoto" was an anagram and came up with "aka its a moonshot". I find it difficult to believe that 15 letters in total can make up a sentence that is someone what relevant in the crypto space. 15 letters to 15 letters.

It has made we wonder if Satoshi Nakamoto, has left secret messages / cryptic clues surrounding Bitcoin. The next piece of information that is available i decided to look into is, Bitcoin total supply of 17,084,350. Its a very specific number which i find unusual. Googles top searches for 17,084,350 is a Rochester carburetor model 17084350. An 8 digit number that is connected to a specific product. Rochester is a subsidiary of General Motors.
(As most are well aware, the stock market crash of 2008).
On November 7, 2008 General Motors reported it had projected it would run out of cash around mid-2009 without a combination of government funding, a merger, or sales of assets. Bitcoin was released to the world January 2009. Today 10 years later, General Motors is Americas most valuable automaker (followed by Tesla). Last year it was Tesla and the year before it was General Motors.

VERY WILD speculations, but would it surprise you if Satoshi Nakamoto was an alias name from someone connected to GM or Tesla? Gavin Andresen? Elon Musk? Many theories and many rabbit holes.

If anyone has come across any secret messages, cryptic clues, theories, feel free to share. Find the whole alias fascinating.

if bitcoin had a marketcap of $1Trillion, 1 bitcoin would be worth $58,551.69. I believe $1 trillion is easily achievable in 2-3 years. When / if everybody jumps on board, the possibilities are endless. My OWN personal prediction is, it will collapse in 10 - 15 years time. IF bitcoin is still dominant in 10 years time, $5 trillion marketcap out the question? im betting on $200,000 - $300,000 ATH.

In the UK, theirs a store called CEX where you can buy second hand dvds, computer games, consoles etc. CEX is in all the main towns and cities and is very popular, been around nearly 20 years now. Any way i noticed on their website that you can pay with bitcoin, on their website.
"Payments - To buy any product from Webuy.com you must make payment using a valid UK credit or debit card, PayPal account, Bitcoin or CeX voucher."
I've heard rumors you can buy gold, property and even sports cars directly with bitcoins. Obviously there are loads of scammers these days, does anyone know of any such legitimate companies and what products you can currently buy?

Its seems to me, that the market is volatile because of the different types of investors. You have the investor who wants to make a quick 
3 - 10X flip and the investor who is holding long term because they believe in the project / product. Yes i know there are many different strategies in between, but there is a clear divide for sure. A bit like good vs bad. Which is which? One side of the coin you have whale manipulation, trading bots and ruthless take take take attitude and on the other you have holders, believers, people who want crypto to succeed because they believe in the technology.

Say for example a coin is $0.10 at ICO, $0.50 when it hits its first exchange, $1 when it hits a big exchange and reaches $3 due to hype...within 3 months and then crashes all the way down back to $0.20..who is the real winner? What are we trying to achieve? Because this seems to be a common trend at the moment. I'm not saying its bad, but it sure aint good. These companies are trying to make a difference and their success / failure could be determined by investors no matter what they have to offer.

Am i making any sense?

Hi, go easy - im new to using forums.

Ive invested in the crypto world for a while now and know how to buy / use exchanges yarda yard yarda.

Recently ive stepped up my game and learnt / participated in ICO's and airdrops. Which has inevitably led me to bounty programs. In the bounty programs they ask you to do social media task etc (which most of you know), but then go on to talk about bitcointalk thread. At this point i cannot get my head around it.

1. Whats a signature / embedded code and whats it used for?
2. Stakes? what do they mean /do?
3. Jr member on bitcointalk? How do you become one??
4. Bug report - is this aimed at skilled people or can anyone learn?
5. weekly report?

Like ive said in the title im a NOOB when it comes to this and any help would be appreciated. Im guessing their are many people like me, who are clueless and need a little guidance. The real question is, can anyone participate in bounty programs or do you need a specific skill set?

Thanks for reading. (dont laugh to hard).
