Re: Satoshi Nakamoto Vs (Michael Saylor+BlackRock)

We are always worried about Satoshi's inactivity, wondering when he might become active and start trading his Bitcoins. But we wondered if Michael Saylor's MSTR had already taken over 3% of the total supply of Bitcoin and BlackRock had taken over 3.57%, meaning the two together had taken over 6.57%.
While Michael Saylor (632,457) and BlackRock (743,310) hold a total of 1,375,767 Bitcoins, Satoshi Nakamoto holds 5.22 percent of the total Bitcoin supply.

Satoshi 5.22% of Total Supply.
Vs
MS , BR 6.57% of Total Supply.

Who will influence the Bitcoin market more, Satoshi or MS,BR?


i think the difference is not only about who holds more bitcoin but also about how they might use it... satoshi's coins are like a sleeping giant and untouched for years almost like a symbol.. if he ever moved them the shock could be huge because people see them as sacred.. on the other hand michael saylor & blackrock are active players.. they buy, they talk, they influence investors and their actions affect market confidence right now.. so even if satoshi holds a large amount his silence has made his coins more of a mystery than a market force.. i mean satoshi has the bigger shadow but saylor & blackrock have the louder voice in todays market

i see bitcoin more like digital gold than real money.. it’s valuable because people agree it is and the limited supply helps but it’s not stable enough yet for daily use.. maybe one day it will play a bigger role but for now i see it more as long term value than a replacement for cash
And why is Fiat supposedly valuable or considered money? That's because a certain group of people said its money.
Bitcoin is currently the closest thing we have to being called money
It ticks all the box of what it means to be money.


true... fiat is only money because people trust & accept it.. i get your point that bitcoin ticks many of the boxes but i think the difference is stability & adoption... most people still get paid, spend and save in fiat.. bitcoin could reach that stage but it’s not quite there yet

Re: Bitcoin is more than an investment it is a belief

BITCOIN IS MORE THAN AN INVESTMENT IT IS A BELIEF

When Bitcoin was sold at $5.27 in 2012 many people did not believe in it. At the end of the year Bitcoin was sold at $13 from there it skyrocketed to $1000 in 2013 hitting a milestone.     When it reached $60,000 in 2021 some said it is too late to invest in bitcoin.

The truth is that Bitcoin isn't all about price but vision, courage and patience.


in my view bitcoin is like a long journey.. the early price doesn’t matter as much as the belief behind it... every time people said it was too late it kept proving them wrong.. if you only see numbers you will miss the bigger picture.. it’s about trust in an idea that keeps growing stronger with time

Re: What will happen if bitcoin transactions became anonymous like Monero tomorrow?

What will happen if bitcoin transactions became anonymous like Monero tomorrow? Will it increase the demand of bitcoin even more in the world ? Or will it have negative effect like government making restrictions on bitcoin ?

i think both good and bad things would happen.. on one side a lot of people who care about privacy would rush to use it & demand could grow but on the other side governments don’t usually like money they can’t track so they might react with tougher rules or restrictions... in the end it would probably make bitcoin even more valuable for those who believe in freedom and privacy but also more risky because of possible legal pressure

The value of Bitcoin cannot be over emphasized. The coin is one of the most valued asset right now in human history. Some people prefer saving up their coins than saving real money. The value of one Bitcoin is bigger than some currencies around the world. Bitcoin will someday become the crude oil of some people and firms in the world. It will surely boom and everyone will scramble for it and at that time the scarcity of the Bitcoin will make it have more value than the real money. Save up your coins and hit the jackpot.

Re: Bitcoin declines due to news of the inflation rate
by
edroi
on 19/08/2025, 18:10:02 UTC


in theory bitcoin is designed to be anti inflationary because of its limited supply but in reality markets don’t always behave by theory.. when inflation data comes in hotter than expected.. it usually means the fed could keep interest rates higher for longer... higher rates make traditional assets like bonds and usd more attractive.. so big investors tend to pull money out of riskier assets like crypto... it’s less about bitcoins long term design & more about short term liquidity and investor psychology.. i would say people still see crypto as a high risk investment.. so it often reacts negatively in the short run to inflation shocks even though the narrative of bitcoin as an inflation hedge could still play out in the long term

Re: Bitcoin must upgrade or fall victim to quantum computing in 5 years
by
edroi
on 19/08/2025, 12:59:45 UTC
This is just a random news I get but people are really talking about it.

I have just read about it not long ago but I have also read somewhere before that by 2030, it is possible that ECDSA becomes vulnerable to quantum computing. This is 2025 which means 2030 is just 5 years away from now.

What do you think about this disturbing news, I have been read more than 5 news about this and I saw another one today. What are bitcoin developers doing about it?

If you need the source that I get today's news from, I can post it which has the the title that I have as the title on this thread.


yep i have seen those discussions too & honestly it’s something worth paying attention to... quantum computing definitely poses a challenge to ecdsa but it’s not like bitcoin devs are ignoring it.. the community has been talking about quantum resistance for years and there are already proposals for post quantum signature schemes.. the hard part isn’t just switching the algorithm.. it’s doing it in a way that keeps security, compatibility & consensus across millions of users

2030 sounds close when you say 5 years but the reality is quantum computers that can actually break ecdsa at bitcoin scale are still not here yet.. the news articles often make it sound more urgent than it really is but that doesn’t mean the risk is fake.. i think the most likely path is bitcoin will move to a stronger signature scheme before quantum computers are realistically dangerous

so yep it’s a concern but no it’s not the end of bitcoin... the devs are aware, the research is ongoing & the transition will happen when the time is right

Re: how AI is shaping the crypto space

When emotional intelligence is rolled out in september (apologies to anyone who never heard of it) I wonder if it will make the AI crypto space more "emotional"?

emotional AI sounds really interesting but i think it will take time to reach high accuracy.. i have seen some videos of robots interacting with basic human emotions but i’m not sure if those were real or just AI generated demos.. if they are real it could be the seed of a new stage in AI evolution... emotions are very complex & it will require a huge amount of data and advanced systems to make it work.. i have read before that some research uses neural data combined with sophisticated models to simulate emotions.. personally i find this area fascinating

Re: Is possible to get one ETH for free?
by
edroi
on 19/08/2025, 00:48:43 UTC
Can this be true or are they just trying to play on my intelligence? Let me tell you, yesterday I was browsing the internet when something popped up as a notification on my phone, and when I checked, it turned out to be about getting 1 free ETH for just buying ETH. I thought it was just a marketing tactic until I went to the exchange that talked about it and I saw the same.
Remember that 1 ETH is now $4,300. Do you think they're so generous to that extent to give people rewards for just buying, either on spot trading, copy trading, or simple deposits? Anyone of these is allowed in order to get a good reward.


when i read your words.. It reminded me of the early days of crypto before 2015 when (crypto faucets) and flashy investment websites were everywhere.. back then some promised free eth, btc or doge just for watching ads or even doubling your investment in a week.. lately similar schemes keep popping up just in different forms

don’t fall for these traps.. in crypto space money can make money but there are safer ways: learning spot trading, earning through reputable exchanges with good apr or simply buying low.. holding & selling high over time.. futures are too risky so stay away unless you really understand them

nothing is truly free in this world.. even feelings can cost you like choosing the wrong person, the wrong opportunity or falling for something that seems too good to be true

how AI is shaping the crypto space
by

on 18/08/2025, 22:28:03 UTC
lately.. i have been thinking a lot about how AI is changing the crypto world.. It’s not just about technology anymore.. it’s about how we understand, trade and interact with digital currencies.. AI is helping people make sense of huge amounts of data that would be impossible to process manually.. for example: it can analyze price trends, detect patterns and even predict market movements with surprising accuracy

one of the most exciting things i see is how AI makes blockchain smarter.. smart contracts (which are programs that automatically execute agreements) are now becoming more intelligent.. they can adjust to new information, detect anomalies and even flag suspicious activity.. this means more security & efficiency for everyone using blockchain

AI is also improving the way we manage crypto portfolios.. bots powered by AI can help investors make better decisions by providing insights based on real time data.. this doesn’t mean AI will replace human judgment but it can definitely help us avoid mistakes and see opportunities we might otherwise miss

another area i find fascinating is the role of AI in creating dapps.. developers are using AI to improve user experience, enhance functionality and even create personalized financial tools.. it’s like giving blockchain a brain that can learn and adapt over time

tbh.. seeing AI and crypto work together makes me feel we are only scratching the surface of whats possible.. the future of finance and technology feels more connected and intelligent than ever before

i would love to hear from you.. how do you think AI will change the way we use and understand cryptocurrency in the next few years?

Re: What Makes Traders Consistent in the Long Run When Others are Quitting?
by
edroi
on 18/08/2025, 14:55:15 UTC
I have been into trading for quite some while now and from time to time i keep noticing this very pattern which is that some persons who starts out in trading don’t usually stick around for long. Many of them quits half way, while some others  manages to stay consistent in it for years. The question is, why does this happen?

From my observation I noticed that many of this  traders that gives up easily and stops halfway came into trading after seeing “profit screenshots” on social media from experienced and seasoned traders . This filled the head of some of them with the notion that trading is some sort of bed of roses. When this traders eventually started out and incurred loses instead of profit, they give up quickly because their expectations were never realistic to begin with. The  truth is, trading is not a bed of roses. Here are some of the things that those who last and stay consistent overtime do differently:

  • They accept the reality of trading which is that profits may sometimes take time to come , and that losses are inevitable they are part of the process.
  • And when they encounter loses, they don’t treat it as the end of the road, they rather see it as a means to improve themselves the more
  • They practice proper risk management  by  making use of sizing and stop-loses and they also dont risk more than they can afford to loose.
  • They keep their emotions in check, by not allowing greed or FOMO, forcing them into trading.
  • They treat trading llike a business by having a clear plan, and target etc.

Meanwhile, those who quit often come in with the wrong mindset, expecting trading to be a shortcut to wealth. When the market doesn’t meet up with their expectations, they leave disappointedly. That is why it is important that every new trader should note  that Trading isn’t a get rich quick scheme,  profits may take longer than expected and also, losses are a normal  part of trading.


i think what really keeps traders consistent is mindset & patience.. the ones who last don’t just chase quick profits.. they accept losses, manage risk and keep learning from mistakes.. they treat trading like a craft not just a way to get rich fast and that’s what helps them stay through the ups & downs while others give up

With so many people around the world buying Bitcoin, it’s like a city’s power supply system suddenly collapsing. I can’t imagine it. What do you think?

when all btcs are mined.. it doesn’t mean people can’t buy anymore.. btcs will still move between users like gold but since the last one is expected after 2100... that’s far away.. i mean in 75 years the world may change fully.. maybe a new coin, ai powered blockchain or new payment system could appear.. btc might stay valuable or it could be replaced by something more advanced

Re: Will altcoin rally again?

The market has been down after the recent altcoin rally. I am looking at some altcoins I think will do well, but I would love your opinion if there will be another rally before I jump into investing in these altcoins.

Though I plan to risk something little, it would be great to have more opinions before I go about it. One of the altcoins I am big on is CYC. I came across CYC not long ago, and if there will be another rally, with its features and fundamentals, it would be a great addition to my portfolio.

With the token getting listed soon, I plan to wait for it to dip before getting in so I won't be the exist liquidity of big players. What do you guys think?


alts today are very different from the 2017 hype pattern.. back then the market followed more predictable cycles but now big investors and vcs move in and out of projects very smartly.. defi & web3 led recent rallies and ai projects are starting to appear but there are still many low quality projects and memecoins that pump & dump

i think altseason isn’t as predictable as before.. the safest approach is to do deep research and focus on real projects with honest dev teams and active communities.. use technical analysis for scalping trades.. the market isn’t as easy as it used to be and making profits now requires patience and smart choices not just following hype

Take a deep look..

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/08/17/USWvO9.jpeg

Ichi has or had 600 Bitcoins in 2010 and my man still saying he missed the bus. Hahahaha.

How many "missing the bus" stories have you seen online lately? I guess so many, It's 2025 but someone in 2010 still claimed they missed the bus too, it will be the same in 2035, many will say the same thing.

You still have time, 0.01 BTC will be the new 1BTC. Don't be among those that will fill the Internet with "I missed the bus" at the time, you still have time. You might feel like it's too late now or you are wasting money.

Your future self will thank the past you, make it count.


i get your point.. it’s never really too late

most people only look at bitcoin as buy & hold for retirement which is true.. the value keeps proving itself but what many forget is that bitcoin was more than just an investment... it was the seed of blockchain and showing us money can move without banks or paypal and from that idea came defi, web3 and even how todays platforms like apple pay or google pay work with more trust & security

so yep it’s about not missing the bus on value but also not missing the bus on the freedom this tech brings

Re: What would happen to Bitcoin’s value if all countries banned crypto exchanges ?
by
edroi
on 17/08/2025, 13:35:19 UTC
What would happen to Bitcoin’s value if all countries banned crypto exchanges together ? Can it survive such an action ?

if every country banned crypto exchanges at the same time.. bitcoins value would probably fall sharply in the short term because most people use exchanges as the easiest way to buy & sell... without them liquidity would dry up and panic selling could happen

but banning exchanges doesn’t mean bitcoin itself dies.. the network is global and runs on thousands of computers that can’t just be turned off... people could still trade p2p use dex or even swap bitcoin for goods & services directly.. it would be harder and less convenient even maybe more expensive but not impossible

so the price would likely suffer badly at first but the idea of bitcoin (money outside government control) might become even more attractive to some people under those bans in the long run.. survival is possible but only with a smaller and more determined community using it in creative ways

Re: your bitcoin is not yours.

on 16/08/2025, 21:37:33 UTC
i am aware we all have different strategies and goals for our investments but i am sure that a lot of us are planning to hold bitcoin for the long term and it got me thinking what ways could we do to prevent us from being tempted to sell our bitcoins and spend it on unnecessary things

one way is writing off your bitcoins as not yours. that money is not yours to spend. just forget about it. the more you look at it, the more you will just want to sell it especially when you see the value of bitcoin.

do you also do this and does it really work for you?

honestly.. i don’t try to (forget) my bitcoin.. i just think of it as something i have already locked away for my future self.. for me the trick is not mixing it with my everyday money.. if i ever see it as (spending cash) i will probably get tempted but when i treat it like it’s completely off limits.. kind of like savings i can’t touch.. then i stop thinking about selling it every time the price moves

so i guess for me it’s not about pretending it’s not mine but about seeing it as mine later.. not mine now
