>Did you use asianwhales on telegram?
No, I insulate myself from all news. News doesn't affect bitcoin anymore like it used to. Stuff like protocol changes and changes in world finance do however.
>Did you follow teeka tiwari?
no
>What is your opinion on bittrex?
I don't have any. I use Gemini and bitstamp. I perceive them as the best and most trustworthy. Their owners are visionary. I met the CEO of bitstamp some years ago in Slovenia and from there on I trust them completely.
>Would you still use binance if youre a verified burger?
Not for any significant amount. I'd make my trades, then withdraw them to my wallets instantly if I have to. I'd love to play with all the alts just for fun, but I don't trust this exchange.
>Did you get into pump and dumps other than the ones I mentioned?
No I resisted everything except the split with bitcoin cash. I took a chance and instantly sold all the BTH for BTC. Turns out it was a good choice but I'd never take that risk again. Just let the winner win and then afterword trade them.
My friend asked me to buy FUN back in the day. I bought over 200K and made a lot of money from that. But it was just for "fun" heh

White people will be forced to live as minorities like the jews have for 2000 years. I think we'll survive, but we'll have to brutally trim the fat on our genome. Particularly women who hate themselves. They'll have to go. That's the hardest thing to tell a good man, is to let women die, even if they're unworthy. You want to save them all but I don't think you should.

I don't think going full-hippie will save anything. I think the opposite is the best choice, live in the biggest cities, in the heart of them, and live on the bleeding edge of society. Conquer new territory in technology. Struggle to compete for power. If whites are so strong, which they are, then a little competition should be no trouble at all.

>>18837516
>how did you accumulate so much?
I became fascinated back in 2012. But it was a purely technical fascination.

I saved up 30k from my job as a sysadmin, working my tail off for that. I wanted to start investing, so I chose, among other things, an oil hedge fund. In less than 30 days I lost 1200$ in that fund because some arabs across the world working for OPEC decided to release a price lock, letting oil price freefall a little bit. I then got very angry that some arabs in a foreign country have any control over my money, so I wanted to eject from this broken system (that was my opinion at the time, I'm different now). So I ejected instantly and put all 30k into bitcoin just to keep it out of anyone else's hands. Shortly after, it swelled like +5k or something and I fell in love. I became a trader and obsessed over charts, protocols, all the possibilities of it. It became a terrible obsession for me.

>>18837527
Because there's no recourse if they misbehave. Also I remember chinese exchanges getting suspiciously "hacked" back in the day. Unlike Japan, where the guy faced arrest if he doesn't comply with all the regulators, or the US/EU where enforcement is also good for crime.

I remember a tiny exchange, I forget the name now, getting hacked in the USA back in 2013. I loved that exchange and luckily I had nothing inside at that time. But it forced me to accept the reality that you can lose your money so easily. It's important to understand all levels of security

>>18837562
>Are you a believer in the law of attraction.
The short answer is yes. Probably not like what you're saying tho.

There is something mystical about the mind. When we get ideas or make decisions, where do they come from? I think just like eyeballs can accept and process light, there's something in our mind that accepts and processes consciousness. But we can't simply listen to it, we have to emotionally desire it and the emotional mind accepts it like an eye accepts light.

Only the minimum I need. Plus enough to make it beautiful. In my city, stuff like laundromats don't have magical touches, like beautiful art, better music, nice windows, etc. I'll pay a lot upfront to add magic to my businesses. I wish more people would do that.

Rent is just a few grand a month, I'll take it out as needed.

I'll probably transfer the bitcoin to the business first, then cash it, to avoid the tax.

I'll pay myself nothing of course.

Yeah I think 30k is a reasonable number. The sushi shop will just be a kitchen with a window to hand off to delivery guys like deliveroo and ubereats.

No. It never did. It was just a containment-coin to keep away the fad of blockchain computing and the desire to add all sorts of unreasonable contract functions to bitcoin.

It'll never work because it serves no new purpose. Everything ETH is special for, requires some sort of "peer" to the real world, where things can get ugly, men can tell lies, etc. So then all the things that ETH is not special for, is no different than bitcoin.

Bitcoin is completely autonomous idea. It has no peer to reality.

There's also the embarrassing fork ETH had back in the day. That is not how money should work. It's not safe; that's some federal-reserve level shit. All those men should have lost and moved on with their lives. But instead, the ETH devs made this blunder. Which is good because it's an arrow in the chest of their credibility as a money.

At this point, most people buy ETH and LTC because they are cheaper to own a whole coin. Newbies could look at a LTC and think "wow I could buy this and it'll moon like bitcoin", but really it'll never happen because there are so many LTCs in circulation. This means their value is largely built upon the ignorance of retail users.

No I meant 40$k.

You have to understand how price works. Don't think of it like a line on a graph, see it instead like two massive tectonic plates crushing into each other with the forces of billions of tons.

Instead of tons, it's dollars. The bitcoin price is the result of these incredible crushing forces. The crushing force of buying, pushing it up; and the crushing force of selling and inflation, pushing it down.

Right now, and for a long time, there has not been must organic force selling on bitcoin. The vast majority of people are buying. So the main force pushing the price down is the inflation schedule. Which at a price of 8000$ is a force of 14000000$ everyday. Overnight this will be cut in half.

When that happens, you'll see a surge in price for the next 3 months or so. After it settles down, I anticipate 40000$ will be a good price. At that price (and after the halving), that push an inflationary force downward on the price of 36$million every day. I doubt the price can resist that much force unless something terrible happens because of the coronavirus inflation on the USD.

So I give it a target of about 40k. Just crunch the numbers. This isn't a real big mystery. Also look at the history and make inferences.

Learning the protocol and thinking about it frees me from fear. also experiencing huge losses in all forms, from my own calculates mistakes, to my own reckless mistakes, to gambling, to things that were totally out of my control makes me safe from a lot of fear. Once you face your fears, they're never the same again. At this point I have far more confidence than fear. You can do it. There's solutions for everything. Try and disprove your fears. Either you're right and the fear will melt, or you're wrong and it's valid and you should take defensive action.

But in this moment, especially with the halving around the corner and coronavirus working to our advantage, your BTC holding is a very, very good idea. I hope this helps.

economics of “proof-of work” in cryptocurrencies
Monetary and Economic Department

https://www.bis.org/publ/work765.pdf

"Second, the transaction market cannot generate an adequate level of
“mining” income via fees as users free-ride on the fees of other transactions in a block and in the
subsequent blockchain. Instead, newly minted bitcoins, known as block rewards, have made up the bulk
of mining income to date. Looking ahead, these two limitations imply that liquidity is set to fall dramatically
as these block rewards are phased out. Simple calculations suggest that once block rewards are zero, it
could take months before a Bitcoin payment is final, unless new technologies are deployed to speed up
payment finality. Second-layer solutions such as the Lightning Network might help, but the only
fundamental remedy would be to depart from proof-of-work, which would probably require some form
of social coordination or institutionalisation."

I don't want to tell you what you should do. It's up to you. But if it was me I would invest 90% in bitcoin and hold forever and then play with the 10% in goofy alt markets, personal applications and scrips, etc so you learn the ropes. Just doing the actions will make you think about stuff. Thinking about stuff will tempt you to learn. Learning becomes experience. And then experience gives you confidence later on to make big choices independently.

I'd also tempt you to activate your critical mind as much as possible. You can really rely on yourself. Took me a long time to learn that.

As said before, a database storing an external variable is not enough, because data needs to be pushed. Otherwise you cannot get consensus execution. Oracles are an absolute necessity if you want smart contracts of external data on the chain.

Say you have a database that automatically pushes. No matter how secure it used to be in old applications, for smart contracts it becomes an attack vector. This is because smart contracts don't have a common sense factor in their interactions. In old applications, if an API would give a strange result, some middleman would simply not use it for a bit. But a smart contract would execute it resulting in the possible loss of high amounts of contracted money. That's why it would suddenly become a significant attack vector compared to in old applications.

Decentralized oracles are an absolute must.

No, you reasoning is flawed. Lets treat it as exchange: If I take 10 units of crypto/yen for 10 dollars, and then further down the line exchange the those 10 cryptos/yen and get 1000 dollars back, it appears as if 990 dollars came to existence out of thin air. Except obviously that didn't happen - Those 990 dollars came from other people who lost money on same kind of exchange.

Congrats for accumulating so much and holding on to it in 2020. I had 52 at one point. I only have a handful now because it's so hard to hold on to Bitcoin with the massive volatility. One day you have absolute confidence that its going to continue to appreciate and the next day you go quickly to sell because it looks almost certain that it was a huge bubble that is spiraling down and you should have sold much earlier. The handful I hold on to are timelocked BTC for 2021 and smaller amounts for 2025 and 2029. Without that functionality I wouldn't have been able to hold on to that much. How have you managed to hold that much without panic selling?

Also totally agree on your $40K price point or somewhere in that vicinity as reasonable. I've also been doing the calculation based on downward pressure from miners and the new money needed to support prices and even next year it's totally unrealistic to see Bitcoin support much higher prices for long periods of time. It might bubble higher but there will be huge drops

Very good choice. I don't hear this word a lot but it's a very good shelter against fear.

>How have you managed to hold that much without panic selling?
Vision. My default state of mind is in the future. I think this comes from being beaten and abused my my mother as a child. She was unreasonable, there was an element of randomness to her abuse. It taught me that even though you're suffering now, it's more important to frame your decisions for the future. The present moment always betrayed me and was unpredictable.

So even if the present moment curses me with a crash, my planning and understanding of the protocol and markets keeps me calm. I just "know" it'll be back to normal in a few days or years.

I think my very, very deep in depth understanding of the protocol helps me. That's one thing that seems to make me special. I've never met in my life anyone who knows more about bitcoin than I do. I hate it. But it shows me people are willing to play with things that they don't understand. I see it as such an inevitability, that it WILL, absolutely, for certain take over in the future. At the very least it'll make gold obsolete. At the very best, is obvious.

I do experience fear, but it's not due to present-moment crashes. It's more like if I fell broke IRL, would I sell? I want to say no, but when you're starving, then maybe. Or if I ever think day trading is a good idea again and lost it all doing that. So I've thought about timelocking my coins to protect myself from myself.

I appreciate you calculating the numbers about the mining inflation schedule.

No actually it was super easy :D I had a setup with GPU's, two radeons. Unfortunately I hit hard times and had to lose it. But I was mining .4 a day using pools or 25 BTC per block if I was willing to wait. It was a really fun time and exciting. Nothing like it existed before.

I also had a preorder for a BFL miner which eventually arrived. I was a lucky one. It was 40GH/s which was insane back then. I used it several days with a raspberry pi and loved it. I felt like a king. But I was still on hard times and had to sell it. Unfortunately, the guy I sold it to had conned me and never paid me (please don't ask...) and I lost my BFL after waiting over a year to get it and only a few days use.

Yeah you can create a verifiable signed message with any address.

Yes of course. It's always a good time to buy. Bitcoin will be climbing for years to come. Don't expect a moon or explosion, those days have already passed. But as an investment choice I think it's the best and will exceed any traditional investment choice.

>should I pull the trigger now with my 30k savings.
I don't want to tell you what to do, be sure to make your own choices. But do it NOW, like right the fuck now, open a new browser tab and do it. The halving is coming in just 8 days now. Get in before that happens and hold for a bumpy ride during corona and the post-halving cooldown. I think you'll at least double your money.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply. Money supply increases, asset prices increase to offset that inflation. Wtf are you talking about?

If you’re referring to inflation of the BTC supply, ok, that would cause the price to decrease and the mining reward halving would decrease that. But the analogy is still nonsense. The volume of mined BTC being dumped is very small in relation to BTC in circulation. It isn’t resulting in selling pressure that could lead to a manifold increase in price.

This is delusion. The 2017 bull run wasn’t a result of the mining reward halving. It was speculation coupled with a prolific shitcoin market and even more prolific social media and lots of people having high speed Internet on phones.

Otherwise, if your risk appetite is low, then just do traditional stocks. Your government is compelled to protect the stock market and finances of the country. It's still the safest choice. But everything has risk.

I made so many mistakes. There was one day I lost 225k$ in a single bad trade. I stopped working in 2014 and started living off my crypto, a huge mistake and i'll regret for my life.

I only bought a few grand back in 2012. The 30k purchase was in late 2014 iirc.

I was on hard times in 2012/2013 and I had no money to spare. Despite trying all I could, even working at a gas station spending every cent I possibly could on bitcoin, I was suffering and there was times I had to clear it. That happened many times. But I kept trying.

there were some times in my life where I forgot about bitcoin for months at a time. As if I lost my dream only to have it come back later.

I gambled on satoshidice and lost 15btc

I capitulated to fear on many times and led to mistakes, both reckless and calculated.

My worst regrets are always the stuff I never did but could have. I don't regret my mistakes because I learn from them and they are always worth it. But I hate myself for never doing stuff I knew I should have.

That's a good question. I can't think of a single biggest, but I remember one of the most emotional. I recently put my first and only nest egg of 30k$ into bitcoin and started day trading. I'd stay up like 24 hours doing this because the markets never closed. I slept like 4-6 hours and continued. My roommate thought I was insane. I started writing little scripts, bots to automate the trades. Anyway I made one "all-in" trade to sell, then re-buy at a certain price and FELL ASLEEP. Woke up in a state of absolute panic and jumped onto my computer to see that, actually, the trade was completely successful and I'm now worth 70k$.

I spent the rest of my day off the computer. Just in a daze. I remember walking outside, going to the market, buying food. Looking around. Just thinking "I did it". I made a year's salary in one day just using my mind. I kept thinking "I did it" with a numb blank face and expression. I sat on the sofa and told that to my roommate "i'm worth 70k, the richest i've even been" and she looked at me, a total mess, bags under my eyes, I looked insane. She just scoffed smiled and said "congrats" then i quietly wandered back into my room and continued.

when he talks about techtonic plates he's talking about the buying vs selling pressure. The selling pressure has been the strongest from miners with their 1800 rewards. For BTC to hold an average price of say ~$8K from Jan. 2018 to now means ~$14MM of new money has to come is just to support the downward pressure of miner rewards. That buying pressure has been pretty constant to hold that type of price range. The selling pressure has probably been even more with big whales dumping, price manipulations, exogenous events etc thus resulting in massive volatility.

when he talks about inflation he's talking about mining rewards. Now halve that to 900 daily rewards and the buying pressure remains the same, this will start to cause an upward rise in price when this begins to have more and more of an impact on the market. Even whales dumping will now have a less of an impact. This will cause an upwards price movement, bring in new buyers, result in more money flowing in where a support of $40K requires about $36MM new money coming in daily. This is entirely reasonable expectation and not some moonboy dream of $100K next year which I don't think there will be enough new money coming in to support. But long term it's probably to have continuous appreciation that beat the traditional markets although the days for parabolic returns after halvenings is probably over.

No as long as all the contract is on the blockchain. Things like a multisig escrow are very useful. The point is that bitcoin itself, and nothing else, needs to be the courthouse. Any peer to the outside world is a point of vulnerability.

It's safer to use existing technologies to deal with external data than using link. I think part of the problem of ignorance is the speculative investors simply don't know enough about API calls and current state of technology. So they're easy to fool.

Thank you anon

In that post I was referring to bitcoin's inflation. The mining reward is part of a "fixed, predictable inflation schedule" to issue the first 21m bitcoins. When I said inflationary pressure as a tectonic force down on the price, I'm referring to all these newly minted coins entering into circulation. The rate in which that happens will cut in half overnight. This is a very powerful force which will (at current value) drop from a selling pressure of 14+ million dollars into only 7+ million dollars each day.

When this happens, it's like loosening your thumb on the end of the garden hose. It'll start spouting water until the price rises high enough to find equilibrium with the new rate of inflation.

so you really think a change in the inflation rate of BTC which can be anticipated years in advance is not already priced in?! why do cryptofags always believe they are the only one who are able to see the true development of the market. if it was that obvious, some hedge funds would have already poured so much money in the market that the price would have been 40k one year ago. and inb4: the market does not work like techtonic plates that crush together each day to determine the price for this day while completely ignoring future developments (especially if they are as certain as the halving)

Give it a read. Buy that book I mentioned above and decide for yourself. You could change your mind or stay the same, but at least then you'll have the confidence that you made the call and not to the pressure of other people. When you're trying to gauge something serious like your life savings, it's really hard to read through the lens of other people, especially when opinions are all over the place. Knowing the reality for yourself frees you from having to read others.

It's tricky to make moves like that without using an untrustworthy exchange. Right now I'm focused on the next halving and the corona situation. I'm also trying to eject from speculation and start making money in my life by creating new things, like companies.

Even if more people buy now, then downward force gets stronger with each step up in price. Therefor, no matter how many people anticipate the halving, it'll still have a price-raising effect.

Price doesn't work how you think. It's not just a free little line on a graph. It's the result of a dramatic, incredible force of all the buyers crashing and grinding against the force of all the sellers. A good metaphor is tectonic places crushing into each other deciding a new fault line.

"Priced-in" is a tricky way of saying it, because it's not accurate. If you speculate the price will increase, then you'll buy now. So you increase the flow of buying power on the price. It raises the price now. This increase is up against all the normal sellers but also the inflation schedule... which has not yet halved yet. So even speculative buyers will reach a balance against this force. Until one day it halves and a big chunk of the downward force suddenly disappears.

The halving is a release on downward force, not an increase on upward force. You're seeing this all wrong.

Value is not the same as price.

Your understanding of inflation is the biggest issue I have with anything you said. You seem intelligent, though. I'll assume it's the way you put things into words that is the barrier.

For some reason in the OG french community Litecoin is well perceived. People think of it as a good way to transfer value while Bitcoin is seen as digital gold.

I have a question for you OP. I used to be very very poor, invested what I could afford to back in 2015-2016 (a few hundreds) and now after having done several bad mistakes but still up around 50x I'm just too scared to put anything back in the ponzi, even in BTC. I sometimes put a few 100s but never more than 500 and make a few moneys.
I know it's because I'm not used to have this much money, did you experience this and if yes how would you overcome it?

>> No.18843584

>>18843410
I'll try to answer your question even though you didn't asked me, but I've been in your position, and I have a family to take care of so I can't invest reklessly.
I started with 2000 euros, poured in in months, hundred by hundreds, and I lukily turned them to 15k.
Meanwhile, I had severals account with small value with which I learned a lot, and made a lot of mistakes! But thanks to that, I have developed a realistic and successful method to increase my gains steadily.
Having a method, and sticking to it, brings me the confidence I needed to reinvest all my money, I even added some more from my savings and I'm now playing with 25k.

I know i'm poor compared to OGs, but it's not about the amount, it's about the mentality: Get confident about something, the fundamental, your trading method, anything, and you will know how to handle your money.

>>18843410
>did you experience this and if yes how would you overcome it?
I felt some insecurity the first time I broke a mental threshold (70k$) story here >>18839839 and it changed me so much. I then understood that I am "out" of the wageslave workforce and my mind, is, yes, omg, indeed, howw???, worthy enough to make money by just sitting at my computer alone. But after I broke that barrier, then new ones were less dramatic. But each new threshold gave me a sense of self-worth that I can now, never fall below again. Even if I lost all my money tomorrow, I know I would and could easily bring myself back up to 400k$.

The thing is with me, I've always wanted to be rich. I had blood on all my teeth my whole life and prepared to do anything to get here. I'm not finished yet, but I'm in motion and have confidence now. All the doubts I used to have before are all gone now, now life is turning into a game for me to just play.

You have to be prepared to fail big. If you're not able to fail, then you're not able to take risk. Winning is easy, just accept the victory. But the only way to not fail is to not play the game. Your appetite for risk is limited by only this.

Life is a fit of suffering. The stuff we do is because it's "worth it". If you want a bar of chocolate, well you need to work for money to buy it. That work and suffering you endure is "worth it" because the pleasure of enjoying the chocolate is high enough to offset the pain you went through. Everything is like this, no matter how big. The greatest struggles, risks, pain, etc that men ever go through is only ever because they believe it's worth it. Pleasure is worth all suffering. In your case, I think you are motived more by pain-avoidance than pleasure-seeking. So my advice is to discover the value and power of pleasure and remember why you want the money. I have a well-defined purpose in my life that underscores all my decisions. What is yours?

Try meditation. also LSD in a quiet room alone.

Alright thanks for your answers. I'll try building up confidence.

I've already been doing meditation since the quarantine started.

I am lucky enough to have found my "soulmate" (I know most will cringe but I really think so) so the only thing left to do is the wealth part, which we are working out together right now.

>What do you mean by breaking the mental threshold?
I spent my whole life being poor, so I internalized this identity. The idea of ever owning 70k in the bank and just being able to do whatever with it, was so distant to me. I made +35k that day, in one day, because I made good choices on a computer. That day changed me forever. I knew that moment on that I would never work again.
>Are you saying taking risks became easier?
Betting 70k is easier now for sure :D
As you grow and get stronger and more confident, you'll find your fears shrink along your path. Just like any skill really.

>But isn't it also bad to bet everything on one move like that?
NO. that is a lie poor people say. "Never put all your eggs in one basket" is something gutless amoebas advise. The only way to succeed is by being willing to fail big. If you have a balanced sheet now, while you're still a nobody, then what happens when one single stock surges? Then like 2% of your portfolio swells while the rest does nothing and you go to sleep that night just like any other night. It's pathetic. I hate that. I would never live like that. If you believe in something, and you're being honest, then there is no reason to hold back you see. Because to proclaim a need to hold back means you don't believe in what you're doing. this goes for lots of things, too, like relationships. Don't hold back when you know something is right.

After spending a few years shoveling myself out of poverty, I started to notice the harder I work, the luckier I get. i love being lucky.

Now tell me honestly anons, why did you come in this thread just to tell me this? How does minimizing someone else's success help you at all? I think every one of you guys have permanently invited poverty into your lives with your toxic personalities and, honestly, you deserve it.

I'm glad for everyone else (beside these guys I just quoted) for all the great conversations in this thread. I really hope I helped some of you.

I have no experience in IT, finance or anything other related to crypto. I also have no time to get into it, because I am studying medicine and working two part time jobs.
I am also not interested in getting rich for the sake of getting rich, but I have a purpose which might be similar to your purpose if I am reading your comment right.

>> No.18847298

>>18847225
No not in your case because you have no time to think about it. Even if you invest a few grand, you'll what... multiply it a few times? Into nothing significant for you. Because when you graduate you'll be making a lot more, this 500€ monthly is more important to your life now. Wait until you can save big and have time to make clear choices on your investments.

If you really want to go in crypto anyway, then sell all and only buy bitcoin. Only bitcoin has a future, the rest is noise and will die.

Don't take my word for it. Research it if you can make time.
