Excuse me? I’m no scammer, don’t judge someone just because their new, just FYI, I’ve worked with @leomedina and @devans with a few things on their casinos, so I’m no scammer. And when did I spam? I’ve only applied twice, once a few days ago, and once last night. Mind your own business next time, and don’t judge a book by its cover.

The price of Bitcoin is influenced by multiple factors, such as market demand and supply, investor sentiment, regulatory developments, macroeconomic trends, technological advancements, and geopolitical events. To add onto that, factors such as media coverage and the overall adoption of cryptocurrencies can impact Bitcoin's value. The crypto market is known for its volatility, and multiple elements contribute to the dynamic nature of Bitcoin prices.

Furthermore, Bitcoin's limited supply (capped at 21 million coins) creates a scarcity aspect, often cited as a key factor influencing its value. Institutional interest, such as investments by major companies and financial institutions can also play a significant role in shaping market perceptions and affecting the Bitcoin price. Additionally, advancements in blockchain technology, scalability solutions, and developments in the broader crypto ecosystem can impact the long term viability and attractiveness of Bitcoin as a digital asset.

Moreover, the "halving" events in the Bitcoin protocol, which occur approximately every 4 years, contribute to its scarcity. During these events, the rate at which new Bitcoins are created is halved, reducing the overall supply growth. This programmed scarcity is designed to mimic the scarcity of precious metals such as gold, adding to Bitcoins appeal as digital gold among investors.

Institutional interest not only includes direct investments, but also the development of the financial instruments like Bitcoin futures and exchange traded funds, which are also known as ETFs. The entry of major players into the crypto space can bring increased legitimacy and stability, which positively impacts the market sentiment.

Blockchain technology enhancements, like the implementation of layer two scaling solutions, example; (the Lightning Network), aim to address Bitcoins scalability challenges, which make Bitcoin transactions faster and more cost effective. These technological improvements contribute to Bitcoins long term viability and its potential as a mainstream means of value transfer.



This post is meant for people who don't know much information about bitcoin, and people who want to get to know about it. 

I was sort of new to investing at the time, I only have invested for a year before the dogecoin rise, and before I knew not much about it, and didn't really care for some altcoins. Me, and I know other people too, seen that dogecoin was rising, and the marketing such as "Dogecoin to the moon" or "dogecoin to $1" was pretty convincing. It is my fault for investing into it at such a high price, I just regret not caring for altcoins at the time though, would've made a decent amount of money.

Your father was right about studies, education is a top priority, because you're able to get a wide variety of jobs, and good paying too depending on where you're from, and you could make a lot more than $7,000, and use it towards investment money.
Personally, I think bitcoin is a great investment to make, because the coin is halving in April 2024, which will most likely make BTC price fluctuate.
But, it is your money, and before you invest the money, you should let your dad know of the risks, or at least information about investing/cryptocurrency, since from the details that you've told makes it seem like he doesn't know much about investing.
I wish you good luck though on your investment, and hopefully it was worth it!

I agree, I'm not much of a gambler, I more so like to watch other streamers/celebrities stream, but a Dana White and Stake collab would be pretty fun to watch, especially since Dana White has a history of gambling, one of my favorite gamblers.

Yeah, that’d be the best to happen. I never here many people talking about dogecoin anymore, but if any billionaire such as Elon Musk or another celeberity/billionaire thats into cryptocurrency advertised the coin, the coin would sky rocket once more. That’s what we really need, billionaires truly have a huge impact on coins going up, just depending on how they advertise it. They can easily make us rich, just don’t know why they don’t.

Well, not very a smart financial decision, considering that cryptocurrency can crash at anytime, especially bitcoin. You never are truly aware on if your money invested will sky rocket, or if you’ll lose a shit ton. I’m curious, how much have you spent on the PC? Hopefully, it should’ve been something you could financially afford, or you possibly had another backup PC/laptop, otherwise, not very a smart financial decision from you.

20,000? That doesn't seem like that big of a deal, you must think about the people who have tons of money invested into cryptocurrency.

I'm assuming it was supposed to be a joke, not very funny though. 

I agree, it is dumb for a casino not to KYC a player before they sign up, because they could deposit their own money/receive a tip, and try to withdraw but that money is just gone. Makes me think some casinos are thieves, such as roobet. Happened to me, but I ended up just KYCing, but for people who don’t have it available, they just have frozen money.

I’d suggest using stake.com, they give out bonus codes on their telegram daily until christmas day, and they’re also hosting pretty big wager competitions, but you have to wager a decent amount to even get a prize. They also do weekly raffles, and the prizes are increased for christmas.

I used to use the blockchain crypto wallet, and back in 2020, I set my fee to the lowest option, which was around like $1, and the transaction did not confirm for 2 weeks. Thought my bitcoin was gone, that’s why I haven’t thought about using a low fee since then. Didn’t think that this would happen again though, but bitcoin has skyrocketed. It’s almost crazy to think that about 2 months ago, bitcoin was low 20k, but now it’s reached 40k! It’d be pretty sweet if it could get past 50k, near it’s all time high by the end of 2023, but I’d wish the transaction fees would reduce by a good amount.

I’m not aware of what the rules are, like I said, I’m new. I didn’t know that creating a bunch of threads could get me banned? (if that’s what you were trying to tell me) I am just trying to have a few conversations going in stuff that I’m interested in, which is why I’ve created multiple threads. I’m sure when you first joined this site, you were curious on how stuff works, just as I am, but I’ll be sure to check out the rules, guess that’s what I should’ve done in the first place. And just so you know, I’m not just here for Merit, I don’t even know what its for, I was just trying to gain knowledge on how people have so much and how it works/how to gain it.

So we all remember the time when dogecoin first came out, it was such a hyped-up altcoin, and everybody was excited about it. People start investing into the coin, and then it ends up sky rocketing! Who here was one of the people who invested into dogecoin while it was around the 60 cent mark, and wanted it to go up even higher, but then ended up losing a ton of money? Well I’m one of those people, and currently, dogecoin seems to be doomed, and I haven’t seen it get past the 10 cent mark in so long, and doubt that it will anytime soon. Coin doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, so for that could we get an RIP dogecoin in the chat? 😢🙏

Well the main reason why I’d like to earn merit is because I have to wait 360 seconds just to reply + post a topic. Kind of annoying, and the only way to fix that from what I’ve read is to earn more merit. Thank you for replying to this though, gives me a bit more understanding and one more question, to search up a question, do I have to click on the topic that’s for the question that I am looking for? Or am I able to just search it up?

The bitcoin fees right now are absolutely outrageous, anybody have any idea on when it will go down? Exodus user here, and to send bitcoin the fees range anywhere from $15-30! Been like this for a minute, reminds me back in 2020 when the fees were about the same as now for a month. Hopefully it doesn’t stay like this for much longer, but anybody got predictions on how much BTC will hit by the end of 2024?

Hello, new bitcointalk user, been around on this site for around a year or so, just never decided to create an account. I’ve seen people with tons of merit! But yet I have not a single clue on how to gain any, whilst people have thousands! Pretty much a newbie when it comes to posting . But any help works, thank y’all!

I wouldn’t recommend depositing on websites like this, usually end up exit-scamming, or just have fake bonuses.

Hello, while I may look like a user who doesn’t know anything, I just recently created an account on here, but have knew about this site for almost a year. Been scrolling through forums here and there, but never decided to create an account. I’m not very unknown, I have helped @devans and @leomedina with some typos on their websites, but especially Leo. Me and Leo are on pretty good conditions, and he is the owner of MoneyPot, while Daniel is the owner of the casino bustabit. If you need confirmation, I’m glad to shoot them and email for them to confirm, but I can assure you I’m a kind person. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this, and hope you’re having a wonderful day! Looking forward to starting up some new friendships here, would be nice.

(Also, the reason why I’m needing the loan is because I have no more transportation, so I cannot get to work, and as you may imagine, it’s my only source of income. It will most likely take me 3 weeks to repay the loan, but I set it to 6 weeks as the max because anything could happen. But, this would be helping me out big time.)
