I think it’s not always gonna be this way. Rising oil demand can hike electricity costs for mining. If war kicks off, people might turn to BTC for safety since gold is kinda hard to carry.

I think MicroStrategy just has better purchase frequency. They’ve been buying consistently, like every month, which gives them a solid edge right now.

Congrats on the gains! But I wouldn’t hold them too long. Honestly, 99% of altcoins are just scams. With how wild the market is, better to take profits and switch to BTC. By the way, what’s NXRA focused on? RWA & DeFi?

If you’re connecting all these stores as nodes, won’t that create scalability issues? Like, if you have 1000 nodes, how do you keep payments instant? A technical breakdown could help.

Checked it out, and it's got three tones for responses: balanced, direct, and soft. Pretty neat for tailoring answers, but only supports English and Norwegian right now. Would be awesome if they added more languages.

Why should everyone get into what you're into? Each of us has different tastes. I don’t like some altcoins and could care less about long DEX tokens chats. Just skip stuff that doesn’t click with you.

Quick question about Bitcoin Core being a non-custodial wallet without a seed phrase. How does that work? Most non-custodial wallets I know use seed phrases.

The mechanism has shifted and BTC meets all the needs now. It’s a store of value, verifiable, not controlled by anyone, plus way more secure than traditional systems. It’s still early days, expect more growth.

I trust Bitcoin mainly because it’s verifiable. Plus, it’s decentralized and secure. Look back in history, money was tied to gold until the Nixon Shock. The dollar was printed like crazy, leaving it unfair. Bitcoin has…

Hey, some dude already made a thread on this topic. You're kinda late to the party. Check out what @Oshosondy posted. Would love to see your thoughts over there.

Yo, welcome! Yeah, it feels like Brazil's regulators just want to squeeze every little bit from crypto users. That 17.5% crypto tax is rough, especially for small investors like us. Really hard to dodge if you're using…

I think we’re still following Satoshi's vision. Let’s not forget, we do have choices. Centralized entities can offer convenience, but keeping BTC in a non-custodial wallet is also an option.

"Never sell your BTC" can come off as vague. Sure, it’s meant to inspire strength during dips, but talk to any regular person with bills, and they’re gonna need to sell sometimes. Don't buy into every catchphrase.

First off, don’t panic about price dips. It’s all relative. Just a few days ago, Bitcoin was below $70k and look at it now, back stronger! Seriously, read up on Bitcoin’s limited supply and growing adoption. That’ll…

Right, the actual count is around 20 million BTC mined. I mean, reaching the cap in 2140 isn’t too far if you think about it.

I appreciate your perspective. It’s tough to share these stories but it helps others. I’m new here and your experience is really valuable for me.

Sounds decent, considering the range is 3.5%-7% annual. In Indonesia, conventional loans are usually pricier. But they’re asking for 40-60% collateral right off the bat.

Time may fade, but it’s not about losing keys. Kids will take over. All keys lost? Only if no one’s having kids what a joke.

(1) Demand (2) Market sentiment (3) Regulatory influences (4) Interest rates (5) Institutional uptake There are so many factors that go into Bitcoin’s price. Scarcity by itself isn’t the whole picture. With everything…

Exactly, people won't just stop and listen to someone like him. Just because he says it’s a scam doesn’t change the fact that it’s being adopted by big players.
