You exchange time for money, yet the cartel inflates it out until the exchanged time is devalued infinitely, and in the long term that received paper money does not reflect real world prices, reducing the value of your limited time resource.

Which way modern man?

Props to Steak and Shake going all in on Bitcoin.

hey so i just bought my first sum of bitcoin, can yall help me on what i should do?

Btc is a bitch

I bought $50 worth of Bitcoin last week. I am now checking the charts every 3 minutes, reading macroeconomics news, and analyzing Jerome Powell's facial expressions.

If it drops by $2, I panic. If it goes up by $5, I start looking at Lamborghini dealerships online.

Is this what being a whale feels like? 🐋📉📈

In May 2021 China banned bitcoin mining nationally. This reduced Chinas hash rate to the Bitcoin network from approximately 46% down to around 12% today. China is one of the most surveilled countries in the world. So how can still 12 % hashrate come from China. My theory is that it is actually the government accumulating bitcoin themselves though mining. They know what bitcoin is, and cannot risk standing on the sideline if bitcoin continues to grow and take play a bigger role. But if they openly say they buy or mine bitcoin, then it would contribute to bitcoins growth and globalization. Thats why I suspect they use cheap excess energy to mine. Its basicly free money, and insuranse. Thougts on this?

Looking for advice. I sell some stuff online and would like to know if accepting crypto as payment would be good in general? ​​​​​​​​​​

I made a little browser game inspired by Bitcoin where every move is just heads or tails.
You start with $100 (play money, no real money ever). Each flip is a true 50/50, but you choose the leverage, from 1× up to 50×. Win 3 in a row and 100× unlocks. Bank your winnings into assets that earn income, sell them at the pawn shop when things go wrong, and push your empire from Earth to Space to the Flipside.
The odds never change. The only thing you control is how much risk you take and when you walk away.

I used Hodl Hodl for the first time to buy BTC with a €150 SEPA bank transfer.

The contract on Hodl Hodl stated:

Price: 83,789.44 EUR
Buy: 0.00179020 BTC
Pay: 150 EUR

I received the equivalent of only €130 worth of Bitcoin, so this trade effectively cost me €20.

Is it possible that the seller sent less Bitcoin to the escrow wallet?

Of these €20, how much is the seller’s profit and how much goes to the platform?

We keep running into the same mismatch when we read supply talk on here. Someone quotes a big round number for coins outstanding and treats it like depth. It is not depth. It is a stock of outputs, most of which are not offered.

A UTXO is just a discrete chunk of bitcoin that has not been spent yet. The set can grow because people split change, or shrink when they consolidate. Neither move, by itself, tells you how much bitcoin would trade if the tape got hit. Liquidity is the marginal slice: coins whose owners are willing to sell into the book, or whose bids are actually resting there. Aged outputs that have not moved in years are inventory. Dust that costs more in fees to spend than it is worth is closer to clutter than to float.

Fees are the quiet part of that story. Miners do not get paid to make the UTXO set tidy. They get paid to include transactions. When fees are low, consolidation is cheap and some of that clutter can be swept back into spendable outputs. When fees are high, small outputs stay stuck, and the coins that clear are the ones attached to owners who care enough to pay. The incentive is local and unsentimental. It does not line up with a clean circulating supply figure.

We are not claiming we can see who will sell. Coin age and output size are clues about constraints, not a forecast. Cycle narratives like to pretend the float is a dial someone turns. In practice the dial is whoever shows up with a spendable output and a price they will take, against whoever is bidding. That gap is why a quiet order book and a huge headline supply can sit next to each other without contradicting.

If you are marking risk off the full stock of coins, you are marking a warehouse, not the aisle that is open today. How do you separate coins that have not moved from coins that will not move when fees spike? We still do not have a clean answer. NFA.

So I'm looking for Saving Private Ryan Meme videos of BTC from back in the 2010-2016 era from Twitter/X. If you know them, you know them and remember them.

I posted in this subreddit about finding some older ones a month ago, and I just got comments back saying "learn how to search". Well, I'm fook'n trying and can't find A SINGLE ONE. HALP!

One person, commented and said "you idoit. Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQJDhPV78_U" and that is STILL the only video I can find. Thank YOU, whoever you are <3 .

I sincerely appreciate and value his insult while providing me with the video. PLEASE, insult and link me to these old classical meme gems. I can't FUCKING find them........

Here is the only one I can find ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQJDhPV78_U (Thank you to whom found it for me <3 )

Does anyone have any others or know where the FOOK I can find them. There so so soooo good.

Thanks in advance

Sincerely,

Bears got wrecked we are going to 100k by January at end of year the bear got wrecked the bears got wrecked all their shorta got destroyed watch Bitcoin go to 250k by 2029 the bears are gonna be praying for 40k they are praying

Because I missed the opportunity back then in the beginning, around 200 dollar, I never seriously considered buying bitcoin; untill recently, when started investing. But, it really makes me wonder: how to adequately handle never ending FOMO? When is it enough? Feels a bit like an endless betting game, with all macrostuff going on; and AI developments making the world so unpredictable... Maybe we should invest more in Love instead? 😊

For example, my real name is S S M A S A Sami Salem Mohammed Ahmed Salah Amjad Al-Naqeeb. Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym, not my real name. I don't reveal my real name for local and international security reasons. Whoever claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, I have a question.
