Get every thing about BITCOIN !!!

HODL is a term derived from a misspelling of "hold" that refers to buy-and-hold strategies in the context of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The term HODL (or hodl) originated in 2013 with a post to the bitcointalk forum. The price of bitcoin had surged to a high of over $1,100 at the beginning of December 2013 from under $15 in January 2013 . In the 24 hours to 10:00 a.m. UTC, Dec. 18 – possibly in response to reports of a Chinese crackdown – the price of bitcoin fell 39%, to $438 from $716, according to CoinDesk's bitcoin price index. What is HODLING? At 10:03 a.m. UTC on Dec. 18, GameKyuubi posted "I AM HODLING," a drunk, semi-coherent, typo-laden rant about his poor trading skills and determination to simply hold his bitcoin from that point on. "I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e," he wrote about the now-famous misspelling of "holding." "WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU W

Today I received a notice on my banking app about the dangers of investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Naturally my first thought was "Fuck you, I'll spend my money any way I want" . But this got me thinking. Online gaming is a big problem. It's highly addictive and destructive and breaks up marriages and families. Addicts often can't pay their bills and mortgages and their children often go hungry as a result of this vice. Yet I've never once received a warning from my bank alerting me to the dangers of it. I've also never had any payments to betting / gaming sites stopped or questioned by my bank. I place the odd bet from time to time. So how come they are so concerned about me losing money investing in bitcoin when it's been the best performing asset of the last 10 years, outperforming every stock on the planet, whereas gambling almost always results in losing everything? What's their angle? Submitted June 01, 2021 at 12:57AM by odo

Everywhere I go people put down crypto for its energy consumption. I'm fucking sick of it. Every day people sit at home, run their heat or their a/c. Watch videos of stupid shit. Ride their car around. They do all these things which burn energy. 90% of it is completely for themselves, their survival and most of all their pleasure and comfort. AndI'm fine with that, I do it too. But I hate that all of that is just taken for granted, no questions needed. Why in the name of sweet fuck is bitcoin the one thing people care about the consumption of? Nobody ever questions the intrinsic value of energy until needs start creating coins? Nobody ever breaks down the energy consumption of their daily life because they would reveal the fact they are wasteful. We've never heard anyone question how much energy the financial system uses until bitcoin started getting shit on. Ive never heard someone question the consumption of Twitter and whether or not that is a necessary service in thi

I am amazed at how quickly the authorities have "awoken" to the Apex Predator in the room. I have always known why I'm in Bitcoin. For me, it has always been around the following core values: Decentralized, with no controlling authority. A finite supply. Freedom from banks and debasement of what I've worked hard to acquire. Saifedeen Ammous says without hesitation in "The Bitcoin Standard" that Bitcoin is a direct threat to Central Banks. Many of us have danced around this issue, and tried to downplay where Bitcoin is going. Even Saylor is careful to couch his answer to the repeated question, "Is Bitcoin a threat to currencies and the Central Bank?" I used to answer the same question with, "The Central banks, and especially the FED, are too moribund and slow; hell, they can't even understand how--or the how important it is--to implement a CBDC." There is no doubt in my mind the authorities are fully awake now, and in attack mode.

It has come to our attention through media reports that certain banks/ regulated entities have cautioned their customers against dealing in virtual currencies by making a reference to the RBI circular DBR.No.BP.BC.104/08.13.102/2017-18 dated April 06, 2018. Such references to the above circular by banks/ regulated entities are not in order as this circular was set aside by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on March 04, 2020 in the matter of Writ Petition (Civil) No.528 of 2018 (Internet and Mobile Association of India v. Reserve Bank of India). As such, in view of the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the circular is no longer valid from the date of the Supreme Court judgement , and therefore cannot be cited or quoted from. https://rbi.org.in/Scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=12103&Mode=0 Submitted May 31, 2021 at 07:35PM by simplelifestyle https://ift.tt/3vGEN1C

This dip is hard proof that we are still early in Bitcoin. Many people still don't understand that Bitcoin is king of all assets and those with Bitcoin are still early. How do we know this? The fact that people are selling, and selling because of mostly the same FUD we've heard since the dawn of Bitcoin. FUD such as China says X, US politician says Y and some bi-polar billionaire says BTC destroys the planet whilst holding $1.5b worth. If anyone thinks Bitcoin is going to <$10,000 and will vanish off the face of the Earth does not understand Bitcoin and does not care about protecting themselves from tyrants, inflation amongst many other things. As someone who has a fairly large amount of their net worth in Bitcoin, am I surprised by this dip? At first, I'll admit, I was quite shocked. We've seen more institutions hop on Bitcoin, like Microstrategy, which refuses to sell a single Satoshi despite this dip. We've seen billionaire gold bugs like Ray Dalio announ

I have read too many posts about the dip, about investing too aggressively, and about investing irresponsibly to stay silent. Bitcoin is not a short term investment. Bitcoin is not a medium term investment. Bitcoin is a lifetime+ investment. Crypto is an emerging market. It may have as monumental effects as the internet. But, the internet was not built in a day, and neither will be crypto. Indeed, even certain effects of the internet are yet to be realized. Many people focus on the stock-to-flow model or the 4-year halvening cycle. These do not matter. Even this year, we've seen significantly different behaviour than predicted. Still, this is a drop in the ocean of finance. Bitcoin recently had significant price movement based only on a tweet from Elon Musk. This is not a robust, well-established market. Bitcoin (and all crypto) is still far from its true value. It is painfully obvious that our grandchildren will use some cryptocurrency as their primary store of value and curr

As a college student I work on my weekends to save up money. I save enough for tuition and basic costs and the rest is dedicated to sats. I learned about crypto and bitcoin this year and I fell in love with it. Since then almost everything I have earned has been exchanged for sats. For most of the year I was at a pretty big profit until this last huge correction. I have told my “friends” about my large position in crypto and they never said a single thing to me when I was in the green. As soon as Bitcoin and the crypto world crashes, immediately they are asking me how much I’m down, telling me the risks involved, and laughing at me for believing so strongly in a “over valued online coin”. All I could do is just look at them and laugh. I know damn well when Bitcoin gets past this slump and to 100k+, they are going to be asking me for help buying some. Be careful who you tell about your crypto exposure as not all “friends” are deserving of your knowledge. Edit: I appreciate all of th

Literally, the only reasons hack "journalists" keep writing fud articles is because of the click traffic their shitty reporting receives. Stopping this trend is even easier than voting with your wallet, simply stop clicking on bunk, fud articles. Edit. This post is not directed at bitcoin price as a few people have misinterpreted it of being, I don't think fud affects bitcoins price as much as people think it does as every bull run in the past has always been riddled with fud much worse than this, bitcoin is doing exactly what it always does and is having a mid bull run shake out.

I just need to vent right now. I got my dad turned onto Bitcoin and he ended up with a sizeable chunk on coinbase, right? He gets his passwords compromised at least once a year, so being the dutiful son that I am, I buy him a trezor and my wife and I help him set it up. He's a little upset that he can't check his balance all the time, but I assure him it's much safer in his trezor that's sitting in his closet safe than it is on coinbase. Fast forward to yesterday. I'm on vacation and he calls me asking why his trezor pin doesn't work. He tells me, "it already had me put in all 24 of those damn passwords, why won't it work?". I told him over and over and over when I set up his trezor and the seed phrase. "Dad, don't type this in anywhere, don't even take a photo of it".

I see a lot of exaggerated reactions to the news that some rich folks are talking about some green mining cartel. It leads me to believe many here don't understand who decides what makes Bitcoin, well, Bitcoin. The gist of it is this: if they want to self-impose some rules regarding mining (more specifically: the energy source used), let them go ahead, because it won't have an effect on the protocol level. Bitcoin is the term used for many different parts of the Bitcoin machine. It describes both the ecosystem, the token, the network, the protocol, etc. Bitcoin is not something straightforward, which makes it so difficult to explain in layman's terms. Rather it is a balanced act of several different concepts, technical, economical and political. The role of a miner is very different from that of a node. Unfortunately many here fail to understand this difference and attribute way too much power and control to the miners, while it is in fact the nodes that ultimately deci

I recently became a father, and even tho my portfolio looked great, I had to put my family first. ONLY INVEST WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE I was terrified by the drop recently, but I held. Glad I did. But I just needed the money, and I sold my BTC to support my family. Food, water, formula, a place to stay, all paid for thanks to my BTC. I love Bitcoin, but this time it was between my family or small gains. If you need to sell,it's ok! Dont panic sell, I've learned that over the years, but you gotta do what you have to in order to be responsible. I wasn't a whale or anything close, but I just wanted to say why I sold, and to say NEVER PANIC SELL JUST HODL EDIT: some of you guys are wack! I chose to feed my family instead of holding, sorry for caring about my own wife and child. And I didnt panic sell... sometimes life comes at you a little too hard and you need the extra fiat. EDIT 2: I'm not responding to comments anymore, sorry for sharing my story. I didnt reali

For those of you who wipe Elon Musk floor. Tesla has been caught up in the bloodbath it helped create. According to a recent article in Fortune, Tesla likely bought its $1.5 billion in bitcoin at about $34,700 a piece. In the company's Q1, Tesla's bitcoin stash was the best performing part of the carmaker's business. Now, unless there is a recovery in the price of bitcoin between now and July 1, Tesla shareholders should brace themselves for an impairment in the company's Q2 earnings report.

My mother raised me solo and had been not having enough money saved for retirement, she had been working into her 70s. Her car broke down recently and to surprise her, I was able to buy a new one for her thanks to being a long time hodler. The amount of joy that brought both of us is worth the world and then some... all because of a conviction I had years ago to start stacking SATs. Keep at it ya'll! Just wanted keep this short and hopefully encourage the community. Submitted May 25, 2021 at 11:49PM by DidYaHearTheNews https://ift.tt/3fklu8N

all this "green mining" nonsense just a bullshit way to cut out home miners by making non green certified mining illegal and make it exclusive to the big guys. fuck that. Submitted May 25, 2021 at 03:25AM by tossmyrock https://ift.tt/34dgPPt

Imagine if someone measured the amount of energy everyone on the planet used to surf reddit then equated that with the amount of pollution generated by energy companies in order to service that habit; then decided that it's the users of reddit who are at fault for that pollution. That's the argument being used against bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining today. Now Micheal Saylor and Elon Musk are showing support for the creation of a 'council' to regulate the energy usage around crypto mining. Before thinking this is a good idea, keep in mind that imposing licensing who can and cannot mine to secure a system no one owns, was built to be decentralized and placed into the hands of everyone, and allows people to earn money with minimal upfront investment and almost no labor, completely undermines all of the benefits of such a system and makes the network more vulnerable to manipulation by private interests. All of this backed on the pretense of a study that was not peer-re

Basically, it's anti-FUD, doesn't support centralisation (because NODES quarantee decentralisation!) and is ultimately no different to some Mining Pool saying they're using green energy. Which is something that should be encouraged to silence the press bullshit and make Bitcoin more appealing to the concerned public. Climate change and green energy usage IS a big deal and if the public thinks it's a dirty coal coin, that's going to hamper adoption massively, like it or not. The idea that this would cause two different Bitcoins, one that's green and one that isn't and therefore is worth less, is at this point a weird conspiracy theory. There's ways to address that, like making Bitcoin more anonymous and less trackable, which should happen anyway (Taproot already does that, to an extent). Basically, if there's issues arising in the future, we can rightfully critisize them, but so far this is just good publicity and freaking out over it seems weird.

Dear "Green Mining Council", Last time someone tried to make a "better" bitcoin was Bitcoin Cash. Go fork yourself and see what happens. No centralized mining regulation. home miners forever. open pools forever. no "green mining certified tax". no Rabbi blessing fees for Kosher mining.

It's just too perfect for him not to. Crypto is a multi-trillion dollar opportunity upending one of the planet's core industries - rooted in finance, tech, electricity and now has a huge environmental focus .
