Been in the space since 2017. Lost a lot of cash then started learning. Hodl is the way my friends. Interestingly my wife seems to be the best indicator of the market to the general public. Whenever she asks me 'how's the bitcoin doing?' I answer "why?" And she's like 'elon something,' or 'i read its up, what's it worth?' I know its time to expect a dip. Conversely when she says ' I heard it crashed again, should have sold ' I know its time to buy. Its hilarious. Its like having public sentiment in my house.

I simply do not feel comfortable talking to anyone I know about this nor do I think anyone I know could relate. My hope is someone here understands. This recent crypto correction has put me near 30% off the top of my portfolio... and this is by far the most money I’ve ever had in my life. And what I can’t believe is that I can still fall asleep at night and make it to the gym in the morning. How am I numb to my portfolio swinging more money than I’ve made in my entire life.... in a matter of a couple days. I feel blessed to say the least. 🙏 Submitted March 01, 2021 at 01:12AM by Geee-Bee https://ift.tt/2MwWUpu

Only 83 BTC were traded last week in Venezuela using LocalBitcoin (lowest since July 2016). That amount was 7,299,000,000,000 Bs. (Venezuelan currency). Right now one BTC reached 84,000,000,000 Bs. Monthly minimim wage at 1.25 USD.

Hi guys happy hodling and trading! Hope you are doing ok. As I always explain, I'm a Venezuelan "living" here. Lower volume in BTC but still around 5-6 million USD weekly, that is way, it is constant in USD not BTC. So many years since we are under 100 BTC weekly, I think some people that use LocalBitcoin are moving to Binance, that is just my explanation without any proof. People that usually trade are mostly miners, people sending remittances and store owners getting rid of their bolivares and even the goverment/military as well. Considering the low minimum wage, forget that people using crypto, it is impossible for them. If you want to know something ask me anything. Here the economy is a mess, so many poor people and a lot of people surviving! I have gotten even puntual work from some redditors since I started posting here, what a great community.

Any other Canadians buying bitcoin because there is no alternatives?
- Get link

Canadian home prices have 3x since 2006. In markets with jobs for young people houses have more than 5x in that time. Anytime asset prices in Canada are going to fall the Bank of Canada is ready to step in and lower the short term interest rate and purchase long term bonds to suppress the long term yield. Despite low unemployment, low inflation and a booming economy they wouldn't even raise rates past 1.75% in 2018/2019. This has been great for people born before 1990 as they can use their assets to get loans to purchase more assets while the debt is inflated away by the Bank of Canada. But unfortunately for people born after they have not had the same opportunity to enter the asset market because wages haven't kept up with asset inflation let alone CPI. The Bank of Canada has cheated an entire generation. They expect us to now spend 45% of our income on housing to give boomers a golden parachute to retirement. Even as rates rise they will just implement yield curve control

People think ‚oh i‘ve made profit, imma sell‘. You are not selling, you are most likely converting from a limited currency to a currency thats being printed on the day.

So today is my brother's 13th birthday.He is pretty tech savvy and he looks up to me a lot so I did what someone never did for me on my 13th birthday.I bought him $50 worth of BTC and gave him his very first bitcoin address.Considering I am now 21,if someone bought me this amount in 2013 and taught me what bitcoin and crypto is all about,I would now be in the 5-digit mark,just from that $50 alone. So for anyone out there with younger relatives,give them the gift of bitcoin.They will definitely appreciate it sooner or later.

STOP DEFENDING BILL GATES
- Get link

I am tired of people defending Bill Gates and saying things like, "Microsoft uses open source development and accepts crypto" or "He is looking out for small investors by warning them against volatility". Microsoft is adopting these things because their attacks against them failed. Where was Bill when small investors were getting wrecked in the stock market or losing their pensions? Where was his love for open source when Microsoft attacked open source licenses? Let's take a look at the history of Bill Gates and Microsoft regarding open source and crypto: 1998 United States v. Microsoft was a set of civil actions filed against Microsoft Corporation by the United States Department of Justice and 20 U.S. states. The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft abused monopoly power in its handling of operating system sales and web browser sales. Microsoft won their right to continue breaking the law. 1998 leaked internal Microsoft documents state the following "OSS
When did bitcoin become about simping for billionaires?

Andreas Antonopoulos brought this up in a recent podcast. Bitcoin's narrative has shifted a lot from banking the un-banked, and replacing old corrupt institutions. Now, the community is simping for these same corrupt institutions, as soon as they started pumping the price. I can guarantee, these institutions do not care about Bitcoin's censorship resistance, decentralization, or about banking the un-banked. They've just bought Bitcoin, then created hype so that their own investments can go up. These institutions will not support changes that improve privacy, as that makes it harder for regulators. They will try to "normalize" Bitcoin into traditional systems. For example, Michael Saylor has said that Bitcoin isn't meant to be used as a currency, he said its just a store of value and a gold replacement. He's trying to make it fit into traditional systems. So called "normalization of Bitcoin" is bad. People are trying to make it fit into the sa

Saw an elderly man (maybe 65-75) today at the grocery store in a Bitcoin shirt. Didn’t say anything the first time I saw him but told my wife and was like “adoption, that man gets it”. Later seeing him at the checkout, I told him I love the shirt and he replied “keep stacking”. That’s why I’m a believer in Bitcoin bc if the older generation is starting to get on board and adapting then we have even more growth in our future, so from the guy at the store, Keep stacking.

I have a very good relationship with my parents, but they're a bit nosy especially when it comes to finances. I told them about a small amount I had in bitcoin many years ago, but now that it's in the five figures they have gone and told other people, and pressure me every single phone call to sell. It's commonly repeated here to not tell anyone you have bitcoin, but you can trust your parents, right?

Your financial life is much more than just bitcoin. And you and your spouse should be working as a team. If you disagree on allocation into bitcoin, talk about it. Set a plan where you achieve your financial goals together, and teach your spouse how bitcoin might be part of that.

1) I did my homework...I know where this is going, so day to day or even month to month values mean next to nothing to me. I have literally gone months without even looking at the current value.

This isn't a get rich quick game for me...that being said I will likely be able to retire a few years early because of it. 3) Bitcoin isn't going to zero at this stage. If you don't know why that's true, then you don't understand network effects and Metcalfe's law. If it's not going to zero its going to go a LOT higher. 4) It's not going to get banned in the US. It will get regulated. Thats a good thing. That will bring in even more institutional investors. Regulation means "legitimacy". 5) Central bank digital currencies are coming.

Getting paid in Bitcoin is the 1st step of opting out of the corrupt, manipulated economy we all inhabit." "When we are all paid in bitcoin, no one can tell us what to do with the value we create … In a post-fiat world, you won’t have to worry about your labor and time being stolen." When you have a quarter of the broad money supply being created in less than a year, it is clear that the money printer determines what value is in the first place.

There's a lot of new-blood coming to this subreddit in light of recent events and so I wanted to write a quick post explaining a bit about how bitcoin works, in hopes that more of you might understand why we're so excited about Bitcoin! Most of the mainstream media just talks about the price and investing. Bitcoin is a great opportunity to invest, of course! We're still quite early in the adoption of this fantastic technology and it's bound to grow a great deal over the coming years, in my opinion at least. But even beyond that, bitcoin is designed to appreciate over time. It is deflationary by design and so holding onto your bitcoins will always be a smart investment. However, bitcoin is so much more than an investment tool! Bitcoin was the culmination of decades of research into cryptography and economics. The white paper is a beautifully succinct solution to a problem that had existed in all previous attempts at an electronic cash system. The double-spend problem

Those that mined and invested in the early days (dont id yourself please) you are potentially going to be in the 1 percent if btc still goes up. You have most likely experienced not being im the top echelon and if you do i wish you the best. The only thing i ask is that you dont forget how things were and try to help the community and those around you. Right now wealth is causing fights, poverty, and just a lot of trauma. A lot of these people can’t even begin to understand that they are privileged but i hope that if you attain that spot you can. In addition, please educate your kids on what this privilege is so that we dont get rich people who do the absolute minimum and charge the poor till they are evicted. I’m sorry if this isn’t my place to talk, i just see this change in power as an opportunity to really change the world for the better, to really end world hunger, to bring back privacy, and to put all people first, not just the 1%.

I work for Apple... not in retail but as a corporate employee. I want to be the first Apple employee to have a portion of my salary paid in Bitcoin. Anyone got suggestions as to what a good way to pitch might be? There are 5 mangers between myself and Tim Cook. I need to make enough of a statement that my message gets forwarded up the chain 4 or 5 times, for consideration. I am not aware of any other Apple employees having attempted to make this happen. Any statements that you feel worthy of putting in my pitch or other tactics to persuade are totally welcomed. Thanks and hodl safe! ———————————————— EDIT: I understand I can take my paycheck and buy crypto with it. Thanks for all who pointed that out. This is supposed to be about larger mainstream adoption.

Hi guys, I'm really new to Bitcoin. I'm from Honduras and I put up all my savings to buy Bitcoin recently in Feb, 2nd. I really don't know why I did it but I thought it was a good investment because here in my country keeping your money in the bank is useless (like 1% annual interest rate) and is not convenient to keep large amounts of cash due to the high crime rates. So I put up all my savings, even convinced my mom and family to buy and they did it!!. And to my surprise in less than 1 month it went from 37K to 56K USD. This is mind boggling and a life changing experience for me and my family. Maybe I'm dreaming but if it goes up even more I'll be able to buy a house or start some business here. I really see now that BTC is the future, sadly not every one I talk about BTC understands or trusts it. Thank you for this awesome community.

I sold 35 bitcoin for 3 pizzas back in 2011 and totally forgotten all about the pizza until a few days ago when a buddy of mine asked if I ever ate them. I couldn't really remember being so long ago, but I immediately went to my fridge. I looked for about 3 hours in there and finally found what might be 3 pizzas, I couldn't really tell but I also found a google doc on how to recover my pizzas. I tried all night but couldn't remember my password, but then I called a pizza recovery service near me, and the guy was totally cool and used brute force password tech to recover my pizzas, I had to give him half of my pizzas but man was it worth it, I'm living large now with 1.5 pizzas . I think I will just hodl them for awhile till I can talk to my tax guy as see what's up. Just wanted to share this story about my pizzas.

My boomer parents just bought close to a full bitcoin through the new canadian bitcoin etf that started trading today. They would never have bought any if it wasn't for the etf. What a great way for everyday investors to buy bitcoin and not have to worry about exchange fees, wallets, keys, custody, etc. Not only for retail investors but also companies, pension funds etc. The fact that people can now hold it long term in tax saving accounts and retirement plans is amazing and will truly change everything. In fact, any new buys will probably be through the etf personally. I know a lot of people here lean to the libertarian side (myself included) and will state, "not your keys, not your coins", but honestly, 99% of people are going to buy to hedge against inflation and invest in this new finance instrument and aren't trying to screw central banks. Just my 2 sats, once a bitcoin etf opens in the US, you will want to make sure you bought some before that happens. S

I'm a taxi driver in a European city and in December 2012 I picked up an American customer who wanted to go to the airport. The traffic was chaotic and what would usually be a 30 min journey, took approx 90 min. He was cool with it though, as he had plenty of time for his flight. We had a really good chat, he told me about BTC and how even if I didn't want to put money into it, it was important to know what it was. Needless to say, I was intrigued, and a bit confused. Over the next ten days or so, I read as much online as I could and decided there and then that I would quit my 15 cigarettes a day habit and put the money I would have spent otherwise into BTC. I made my first purchase of BTC on Jan 1st, 2013. Every month for the last 8 years, I have bought €250 of BTC. I

I'm a long term hodler and in January 2020 I started a non-tax exempt brokerage account in my daughter's name to start saving for college. I did this as opposed to a 529 so I could buy GBTC since I thought it would more than offset the tax benefit. In less than 14 months I was able to save enough to pay for 4 years of tuition at a private university because of the dramatic rise in Bitcoin's price. My assumption is that I will get a 9% average return from now until she goes to college and that the cost of tuition will rise at 3%. I obviously still need to deal with paying taxes and want to build a buffer, but it is a nice milestone to hit. Submitted February 17, 2021 at 07:31PM by nonamesleft314159 https://ift.tt/2Zp7QZ5

I remember very well how it all went. December 2017, bitcoin prices skyrocketing, me being a minor and having no money to invest, my dad clueless as a bird. 1 Bitcoin was about $15.000 back then, so i tell my dad all about Bitcoins and that the price is going up so rapidly and how it’s definitly a “safe” investment. I get him all excited and sure enough, he makes an account, we buy some bitcoin and we wait patiently while watching the price keep going up.🚀 A week goes by, all seems good. Another week goes by and the price just starts tankin’📉😭 So here i am, telling my dad not to worry and explaining that we’ll just have to hold. (Or even buy more while it’s low.) But why would he believe me when 2 weeks after i tell him to invest everything just crashes. BUT, now February 2021, my dad is still a proud and happy bitcoin holder.

Back in 2013, I saw a once in a lifetime opportunity in Bitcoin. So I wired $3000 to Mt Gox, bought at $125 at the peak of the bull market (like a sucker!). I day traded and learned exactly why you shouldn’t day trade before withdrawing what remained 1 month before Mt Gox collapsed. Then I decided to HODL, because I knew I was so far ahead of the adoption curve. Then I suffered my first bear market. I had bought at the peak and my $3000 was now worth a fraction of that, but thankfully for me I had only invested an amount that I was prepared to lose. That’s lesson #1 in investing. Later that year, the price exploded to $1000, I had suddenly made multiples of what I initially invested. But lucky for me I had a stable job and didn’t feel the need to cash out anything. I was in it for the long term and still saw an extremely asymmetric upside. I didn’t want to sell until it could make a meaningful impact on my life. The HODL mentality started to make sense.

So, first of all, do your own research (DYOR) and don't take this as financial advise in any way daradaradara... Yesterday I came across this report from ARK (thanks u/lavazzalove for the link), I'm invested in mutual funds with like 30% exposure to ARK ETF's so I receive the reports on my mail but haven't read it untill now. Spoiler: It's stupidly bullish. Page 37 to 50 talk about Bitcoin economic studies they did. Long story short, they say an "optimum" point for hedge fund is an exposure betwen 2.55% (minimizing volatility) to 6.55% (maximizing sharpe ratio) on Bitcoin, the risk reward ratio of it is ridicolous.
