I look back at all of these bull runs and wonder wtf I was doing sitting on the sidelines. Originally came across bitcoin in college circa 2011 and ended up with 2.2 at the time--from entering my e-mail on websites that would send fractions of a coin to my wallet. Sold all of it by 2015. I vaguely remember it being around $800 per btc back then.

Every time I thought about buying in I would tell myself it's the top and there's no way it'll see another big increase. And yet I was always proven wrong.

Long story short I've been buying for the past few months and have now acquired 1BTC with the intention of holding 2 years through any ups or downs before re-evaluating my position.

Good luck everyone.

>>54962439
I should add that my BTC position only amounts to about 5% of my total portfolio. The rest is in VT/VTI. I would advise everyone to have a small allocation to BTC, but not so much that you'll be forced to sell in the event of a downturn. Martin Shkreli once said that a 1% investment in a risky asset that has potential to 10x is good risk management.

>>54962255
Thanks for making this general. I and many others are very excited about the future of $BITCOIN

What proof there is bitcoin is trully decentralized and what proof there is lightning is trully decentralized for now lightning looks like a fucking mess of many custodial and non custodial wallets

>>54964432
You can just check the data. It's all public

>>54964458
Well add that to the pasta the only point of bitcoin over everything else is if its decentralized well tjd majority of shitcoins like etherium are not decentralized

>>54962322
It doesn't look good. I would be more bullish if institutions weren't in already, but with Saylor owning over 100k BTC we are way past that stage.

>>54964552
its distributed, same as eth, only that eth and other pos can be easily taken over by state actors through a printer, while taking over btc would require a state actor to redirect his energy resources in such a way that there wouldnt be any energy left to run an economy

It failed at that.
What other purpose doe this NFT have.
The only good thing I could see is making bitcoin hodler poor, thus removing them from the gene pool.

Based and blessed thread

I've been sent some btc from someone who sent it from their forex broker account to my wallet in bittrex.

Its not showing yet. The dude said that I need a minimum amount in my wallet before the funds reflect.
I can't find anything about this online, what's going on? Is there a way to calculate the minimum amount?

I know the us one is bankrupt but global is still OK right?

>>54962694
i think we know the answer to that question. its standard prudent advice that were it not for the absence of btc settled ETF would mean btc would easily be in the six figures right now.

>>54966098
do the sensible thing. Shill bankrunning to your friends families and social media followers and shill them on btc as a save haven

If bitcoin is so important, why hasn't anyone developed a proper layer 2 scaling solution?
Why doesn't someone start a crowd funding initiative or even pay a company to do this while retaining the openness of the code?

There's so much effort poured into books, podcasts, interviews, TAs, events, but not half the effort in scaling bitcoin, are bitcoiners blind?

>>54966184
It does everything it is supposed to do since now 13 years, without any major bugs. The biggest outage was in 2012 the overflow bug, and that got fixed. Since then, no issues, no intervention needed, just constant sensible improvement of the protocl

>>54966184
A lot of effort is being put into scaling Bitcoin, but proper research can take many years

The static block size limit IS a bug, the original intent was to fix DoS attacks with large blocks, not to cap TXes. Having capped TXes in a block is a bug as it is an unintended arguably negative side-effect of code.

For a second might you consider if you are thinking inside of an ecochamber when you refuse to take even the most basic line of arguments? A bug is unintended sideeffect for code, limiting transaction capacity was never indented with the code making it so, it IS a BUG.

>inb4 iT WoRkS
It works for what purpose? Transmitting random structured data over a network? Sure it works for that, but a 5yos first python networking code can do that as well.
Does it work as "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" as per its whitepaper? No it doesn't. It's not peer to peer when there are trusted 3rd parties reviewing the eligibility of your transactions (go figure how Bitcoin is not fungible or if that's too hard why ordinals are able to be non-fungible without any extra code of quirks). It's not private nor anonymous nor instant so it doesn't serve as cash. The only words it fulfills is that's it's an "Electronic System". And before you sperg out about "bbbut LN, what about my hecking LN"
1. it's not private
2. shortest routes with more liquidity are naturally prioritized leading to a handful of entities controlling more than 50% of the total liquidity (go run the numbers with 1ml.com I'm not doing your homework) due to hubs being simply more efficient (ignoring custodianship issues pushing this). And even if you ignore this inherent design flaw it's still peer-to-peer-to-peer-to-peer-to-peer, the money doesn't simply move from person A to B but gets routed
3. LN is not Bitcoin, even if LN somehow proves to be P2P electronic cash, Bitcoin still ain't

>the absolute seething of a reality-denying shitcoin maxi

it's not bitcoin's fault you're poor. bitcoin and lighting network work perfectly, no matter how much it emotionally hurts you.

Reminder that maxifags continue to be in denial about Bitcoin's terminal decline in the real-world economy it spawned and dominated for the past 10 years as well as about the viability of LN as a solution to that decline.

TL;DR: the online shadow economy Bitcoin helped create no longer gives a shit about it or LN or anything else BTC-related.

Commence the copefest.

Oh yea please do, buy on leverage. Mortgage your house and sell all your other assets, move overseas and get as much debt as humanly possible. If you cannot read a paragraph worth of text to inform yourself regarding your financial investments, you might as well speed up the Darwinian process.

Shitcoiners hate bitcoin because they want you to dump your sats into their VC/pajeet scams. Stack sats, ignore scammers.

>>54977138
why should I, just buying btc, every week, with 10% of my income. Shitcoins don't get near my wallet and advertisers are just ignored, especially those that try to astotruf with stolen memes and adaptations of those.
And little hint, you cant just make a seeth thread with your "meme" and think you wont be recogniued.
Now gtfo shitcoin astroturfer; buy btc, or don't I don't care
btw, you post was read until leverage, everything else no idea what you tried to sell

>>54977181
I just wonder who they try to advertise to on this board. The only ones around are the /smg/ gamblers, who are also astroturfed to shit, the /pmg/lers also astroturfed to shit and bitcoinmaxis, who like the two others just ignore the spammers
