#1) it doesn't pay any dividends like stocks
#2) risk of extended drawdowns which could cause loss of principal unlike in a real estate investment where the property only goes up in value
#3) unfavorable tax treatment since it cannot be depreciated like many types of assets can be when used for business purposes

the fact that it doesn't pay any type of periodic cash flow while it is owned is a serious issue. for these reasons i don't really like bitcoin as an investment.

To my greatest shock, I woke up this morning to see that bitcoin price dip to $52k and I was like damn it where is my reserve funds, and immediately I bought some sats because I am still stacking and need to take advantage of the market price since I am buying in discount.

To new investors and weak hands, this is not the time for panic but a time that bitcoin gives you the opportunity to buy bitcoin in discount because the price is on temporary and will still pump as we are expecting the bull run to kick with price pump soon. Hodli is the only way out to overcome bitcoin price volatility.

Your later questions answer your first question. Fiat currency fails and loses purchasing power because of inflation that is continuously made by governments and central banks. If you need an example, please look at the biggest fiat currency.

Terrible purchasing power of US. dollar over time

Gold is better because it is inflation too but it can not be printed by governments. You have to mine gold, not get it from printing or minting.

With Bitcoin, it is inflationary too but the inflation rate is smaller with time, and after 2140, it will become deflationary. Currently after four halving times, Bitcoin inflation chart is already in a flat area.

How is the 21 millions Bitcoin cap defined and enforced?
Controlled supply

I have figured out 2 private keys having Bitcoin. One private key is holding 0.002 btc and another is holding 0.134 BTC

I need urgent money and I think if I take this fund at my wallet my problem will be solved.

One private key - last transaction was 2014
Another one- last transaction 2013

I think it is 10 years +

Should I take this fund? I need very urgent money. Without fund, my life is becoming horrible. I have lost all and have fallen under big debt due to gambling. So, I have lost to others.

So,
1. From the moral point of view, should I take this fund?
2. If I take this fund, will I be caught? Is there any way getting my identity while shifting fund?

Everyone has the right to their own opinions on this matter. Our intention was simply to conduct a straightforward Yes or No vote. Otherwise, I can choose to remain silent. I happen to know who Satoshi is, and Satoshi requested that I share this to gauge interest. Currently, the majority is voting No one cares and scammer, which is encouraging for Satoshi to remain anonymous. We just wanted to pose the question to the world.

No, Bitcoin didn't turn away from it's purpose.

There's nothing change, Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, if you want to use Bitcoin to pay something, you can, at the same time you can also use it as a store of value. It's up to each person who own Bitcoin, different person has a different purpose and the way to use the coins.

Bitcoin is freedom, so, let people choose what they want!

Scammers are to blame for taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge. At the same time, people also have a responsibility to educate themselves to avoid losing money.

Do you know what his thinking is like now? If you can figure out Michael Saylor's way of thinking about something like this, you might be a smarter person than Michael Saylor. But I don't think you are smarter than Michael Saylor, who is currently still very happy in hoarding Bitcoin and perhaps has never thought about selling it because he is still quite cool hoarding Bitcoin to the point where he is the holder of the most Bitcoin in the world. So what do you think that Michael Saylor will soon give up Bitcoin because he is already seeing huge ROI?

The main factor you have to consider is risk because the risk of investing in meme coins is very high. I can't recommend you to invest in certain meme coins that might be hyped in the future and will give you huge profits, but I suggest you to choose some meme coins at random and invest a little of your money.

People will have different views on this.

If they see it in satoshi spent for transaction fee, they will feel more comfortable.
If they see it in $ value of their satoshi spent for transaction fee, they will feel uncomfortable because they are spending more $ than in the past when Bitcoin price was cheaper than in 2024.

I believe we can not find an agreement for this as it depends on personal view.

I don't have anything against meme coins, as long as they aren't scams.  But let's be real - thats a big if! So many ride the hype train of humor and celeb shout-outs without actually offering real-world use or planning for the future.  Sure, some lucky ducks have scored big wins.  but for most folks, the 15 minutes of fame fizzle and they're left clinging to worthless bags of digital dust.

Personally I find the "lambo overnight" fantasies around meme coins kind of uncomfy.  Investing should be thoughtful, not fingers crossed that a viral tweet might jack up your portfolio.  But hey, to each their own.  Some folks have fun playing the hype cycles.  For me, I prefer coins with fundamentals over fleeting fame.  But who knows maybe I'm missing out on those sweet lottery gains.

I don't buy XRP because I don't see any point in this currency.

What does she propose to do? What problems does it solve? What benefits can you get from being a holder?

I honestly can't see anything good for her.

its only functionality is price speculation and nothing else.

If someone who has more in-depth knowledge about her can tell me something to change my mind I would appreciate it.
