I made this topic, of course, I am also a little surprised because it reminds us of our age which of course will not necessarily reach 2140.   but of course, yes, what we can do is just to think about now and of course only collect btc as much as possible because of course btc in the future will certainly be very high in price.

Yes, it could be that in the future at that time all countries adopt btc and surely at that time those who buy btc now and save it until then will certainly be very lucky it's unimaginable because surely the benefits will be potentially large.

It's true that of course it seems like we won't have a lifespan like btc, but yes at least we can pass it on to our grandchildren and grandchildren and surely at that time our children or grandchildren will be happy when they receive btc because btc will definitely be a very valuable asset in the future. it's true that right now of course enjoy the process while collecting btc using discretionary money and certainly don't let all our discretionary money run out because we have to think about the future.

I think I read somewhere that Shoppee has a similar system now through a third party, using shoppee pay if I'm not mistaken, though I said the other day that the online shop hasn't
made any announcements yet.

But even so, if that really happens, it would be a good step for Shoppee to take because it would increase the number of adoptions in the bitcoin
industry in my view for the future I think.

In the next few decades, this may be true. No altcoin or technology can threaten bitcoin's leadership position but in the more distant future it is difficult to say.

In all fairness, bitcoin is a product and result of technological development. Meanwhile, as we all see, technology is constantly evolving and even evolving extremely rapidly. So it's hard to know what will happen and we shouldn't be surprised if something outperforms bitcoin in the future. But like I said, that's not going to happen anytime soon, so there's no point in thinking about those things right now.

So in my country (EU) if you own a significant amount of crypto and sell it on a CEX as a person, it gets added to your gross annual income. It is likely to put you in the highest tax bracket and taxes can run up to more than 50% on realized profits. It is a part of progressive income tax scheme that covers social security for the entire nation. It basically makes life impossible for investors. They take a huge part of your earnings in 2025 but do not compensate you for losses in 2026 "because that is a different tax year".

There is an option for citizens to launch a company (not expensive nowadays) and buy/sell bitcoin on your company balance sheet. I think that this is what Michael Saylor does too. If your company has realized profits by selling, no matter if this is from revenue or from bitcoin, these realized profits are taxed at a 20% rate. Which is not low tax, but not as disastrous as the 50% income tax for the normal working class.

At this point I am in doubt whether I should set up a company and register all my crypto holdings with the IRS, or keep DeFi away from CeFi and never convert crypto to fiat. Converting to other coins, like stablecoins, is also a taxable event. But at least there are ways to keep stablecoins in a hardware wallet out of reach from tax authorities.

Taxing crypto transactions is like putting a 20% conversion fee between euro and dollar. I do not find it fair, but I can live with it if I have to.

I do have a different concern. Registering all my crypto holdings with tax authorities is like voluntarily giving them an opportunity to tax the hell out of me in the future just for owning crypto. There is a neighbouring country that taxes citizens for unrealized gains in crypto.
Both of our countries have also launched an exit tax for citizens who become tax residents in other countries. Governments will look at your entire balance sheet and tax you on unrealized gains when you leave. In my opinion that is outright theft.

The concept "not your keys, not your crypto" does not apply in my opinion when you hold the keys but the government knows about all transactions and can even tax you just for owning something. It's not your digital property if they are free to tax you for the amount they want.

Would you register all your crypto assets with the IRS, or trade to stablecoins and keep them away from them?
I just think it's sad that not giving up your privacy is considered a criminal offense.

Those who claim or who are claimed to be Satoshi only want to get a sensation and profit when they are considered and believed to be the truth no more than that, because in the end even if Satoshi is really revealed, everything will remain the same where bitcoin will continue to run as it should without being prevented or intervened by anything so that in this case what they want (who claims Satoshi) is just a sensation so that they get more benefits from their recognition.

I personally don't really care about that because I think taking care of so many faketoshi is now so draining that I prefer to think of it only as entertainment because when taken seriously they will try to convince more with the nonsense that they are really satoshi.

Not all women are doubting the potential of Bitcoin because they have interest in Bitcoin but we shouldn't make investing in Bitcoin to be gender sensitive. Both male and female can decide to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't ask for your gender before you can invest in Bitcoin. All gender should come separating on their own to invest in cryptocurrency. We don't have to force them or influence them to do what they didn't what to do. Influencing People to do something doesn't always end well.

Bitcoin has all the potential to attract more women but the women have to be willing to be risk takers. What Bitcoin has to offer to everybody without the help is how decentralized we can enjoy our finances hence when the time is right the female gender will join the market. We shouldn't treat Bitcoin as something that everybody has to agree with or we will be making the wrong steps for the development of Bitcoin.

It's really impossible, if not, hard to predict the exact direction of Bitcoin's price in the future, but if you look at the charts and zoom out, you will see that historically there was always an upward trend in the long run. Of course, there have been ups and downs along the way, and past performance doesn't guarantee the future. So, whether it reaches $50,000 or not in few years, that is hard to say, but it will eventually happen. If you're unsure about selling your Bitcoin now, consider making some financial goals and set your own risk tolerance. Maybe you could sell a portion of your holdings to cash in some profits while holding the rest for more profit. This way when the price goes up, or crashes, you won't be losing much. Just remember, as long as you haven't sold, you haven't lost anything.

It depends on where the crisis took place for instance if it is in a developed country, we can say bitcoin can be a saving grace but in a developing country like mine, I don't pray for any because if it happens to hold bitcoin can't have any advantage over fiat other than you are sure your investment is secure.

The crypto market has been bearish lately, so we can't expect much from Dogecoin's price. Not even Elon Musk will be able to do anything about it. He used to hint the possibility of adding Dogecoin into Twitter, but nothing has materialized yet. I think Elon Musk is playing with investors to "pump" DOGE for his own benefit. If he is taking the cryptocurrency seriously, he would've kept his promise by now.

Besides, why would you want a "meme" coin that's hyperinflated to rise in value? There are billions of DOGE in circulation, so don't expect it to go higher than $1 anytime soon. There are far better options to choose from in the market. Who knows if DOGE goes back to $0 someday? Just my opinion

But it's different from developed countries, the evidence is that there are very many who know Bitcoin, maybe at the age of 40 and over regarding the use of Bitcoin and how they already understand it, maybe for countries that are not yet developed like in parts of Southeast Asia, there are probably still many people who are over the age 40 years not very familiar with Bitcoin, because what I know is that teenagers avoid taxes regarding the ownership of Bitcoin, so they hesitate to introduce bitcoin to their parents, who actually have to tell them and introduce them to bitcoin, because more and more everyone in this world forced to use the world of technology that's why this must be done as soon as possible..

At the right time I will also consider telling my son about bitcoin but now he is too young to understand about digital money like bitcoin because to be honest my son is not yet 2 years old. Lol

Obviously every parent should teach their child and inform them about the times and also about new financial systems like bitcoin when they are ready. This is an important thing for them because actually bitcoin is not an enemy that needs to be hidden from them.

going up to the cloud until bitcoin is worth millions of dollars, it just might happen. but the question is whether they can withstand up to millions of dollars. Hundreds of dollars is still not reached today. But if the investment is made in bitcoin for the long term, profits can be obtained, as long as you have to be sure and stay on the main target. No one comes late all have the same opportunity.

This kind of injury always leaves us hanging, I also lost on my prediction today due to the fact that Giannis cannot handle up to the 4rth quarter without Middleton against the Bulls. In the meantime, I would not choose one of them in our mini prediction game on our local board before their 3rd game because as you said earlier it's really tricky to put your bet on them. Maybe after 3rd game, we can decide who to choose. As for the Nets vs Celtics earlier, it's completely different compared to their last game, the Celtics were completely dominant in their defensive strategy.

That's how it goes some games.  Feed the hot hand.  Butler scored 7 in a row when they were only up 3 to stretch the game to 10.  Dude is playing out of his mind right now, Jimmy doesn't get the credibility he deserves.

The fact that they already fired Frank Vogel then I assume that they are already eyeing someone else to do the vacant job. The Lakers management have those money to hire coaches again but the question is, does this new future head coach can give them the goal they want? We'll see about that soon. It's just sad for me to think that after Frank Vogel gave them a championship title last 2020, he will be just fired just like that without getting informed before it was leaked.

I don't think it would be wise to hold NFT. Because new NFTs will arrive over time and will be updated day by day, the value of the held NFT may decrease. So I don't think NFT should be hold .It is better to think of before starting cryptosystem, otherwise, you have to pay compensation later
