So many newbies think all coins are the same. They don’t realize the difference between top caps and dead coins. It’s frustrating.

Who’s this ‘we’ you speak of? Saying you’re for privacy but only for the good guys is a contradiction. Monitoring means it’s not private anymore, right?

I think it’s about the average price for the month. If Bitcoin hits 200k for a minute, that doesn’t count, right? I seem to recall details about how they calculate the predictions.

You know what would be fun? A betting pool for price predictions. It might encourage more serious guesses instead of just random hopes. Personally, I think BTC could drop to 20-39k range by end of 2024.

If Bitcoin drops below 80k, I think the bull run is over. It could then slide to the 50-60k range. Just stay cautious; never invest what you can’t afford to lose.

He’s bearish on the dollar, so in theory, he should be more positive about BTC. His son seems to get it more than he does.

This is a super detailed thread! I didn’t read everything because it’s overwhelming, but I appreciate the clarity on options.

Thanks for the info. In Russia, we don’t usually shake hands with women either. But if it’s due to personal beliefs, that’s cool. Different cultures, you know?

I don't think the EU plans to punish individuals. From what I know, it seems aimed at companies handling cryptocurrencies. European citizens can still use non-custodial wallets, but exchanges might refuse to deal with…

Yeah, it’s a bummer that getting testnet coins is tough. Maybe we should reset the whole thing for easier access?

Market reaction seems cautious at that $100k mark. Could be a psychological thing. I honestly think it might stay lower for a bit before breaking through, and if it does, there might be a sell-off.

So they want to restrict mixers? Can’t believe they’re taking that step already. Bye-bye privacy for EU citizens.

I’ve been saying this for years but no one really gets it. People think Bitcoin can’t be controlled, but soon it’ll be all regulations.

Not sure what the SEC is aiming for with the whole Ethereum situation. Metamask isn’t just about Ethereum; it’s got tons of coins. Also, they’ve added features like swapping and buying cryptos with fiat. That’s probably…

You’ll always find folks predicting a bull run in the Bitcoin world, even as prices drop. It's comical sometimes. Check the Wall Observer thread, there are some serious permabulls there. But caution is key with such…

Not exactly true. If Satoshi wanted that, he would’ve made sure addresses couldn’t be reused after transactions. Keys can last forever.

Exactly. Once you've lent something, it doesn’t mean you lose ownership. But in crypto, if you share a key, others can use it without any ownership proof.

The best you can do is sign a message with your private key to prove ownership. Post it somewhere public to show it was yours, in case someone steals from you.

Wow, that’s crazy! You should definitely create a thread in the Scam section here. There might be others with the same situation. By the way, did they give you any transaction ID to recover your funds? You’ll need to…

Yes! Just keep the seed safe. A locked box is smart. Better to fool them with a decoy wallet and avoid a real loss.
