Didn’t get any Bybit email, maybe I should sign up for their updates. DeepSeek is everywhere lately, affecting crypto and even stocks. It’s wild how a new tech can shake things up, but usually, Bitcoin finds its way…

Getting a mentor can really help break that cycle. Like you said, the endless search for the perfect strategy is pointless. Being part of a supportive trading community makes a huge difference. Solo traders are more…

100% truth right here. If you've never lost in your first 90 days, you’re probably not trading at all. The stats say that 80% of traders aren’t making profits. Most of them are the ones pushing courses on social media.

Some folks will dedicate their lives to finding out who Satoshi is, it's almost like their life's mission. Good luck to them, really! But Hal? Nah, he’s not Satoshi. There were actual exchanges between him and Satoshi,…

You’re right. Wars profit politicians but wreck production and resource distribution. We need to innovate in farming too. Ever heard of vertical farming? It's one potential solution for future food security.

For sure, there are some gems out there. I’ve been slacking on this myself, but Jameson Lopp’s site is a solid resource. And if you need help with the lingo, there's this article by Ray that breaks it down for us…

If an exchange takes taxes out during withdrawals, does that clear you from paying taxes to the government? Or do you still need to do your own tax return?

Yup, in uncertain times, stacking Bitcoin is the way to go. With inflation on the rise, cash will lose value, but Bitcoin holds its ground.

Ordos is in China, not Mongolia! So just be careful with those numbers.

Definitely important they ensure accountability with this reserve. Can’t have politicians dipping into those funds. There's plenty of poverty they should be addressing.

Honestly, trading bots have been a topic here for ages. Some say they can be profitable, but not every bot is worth your time. The good ones need creators who really know their stuff. Most bots out there are just scams…

Makes sense, but can’t help but feel it's a bit ridiculous. Like, why not just live in it?

Definitely. Being vigilant with money is a skill I wish I learned sooner.

Yeah I saw that. But what about the exchanges? Aren’t they part of the problem? They can’t pretend they don’t know what's going on.

Globally, crypto adoption is growing. If the world becomes more crypto-friendly, African nations will likely follow suit. People are adapting, especially those without bank access.

This could belong on the speculation board. I don’t think the bull run has kicked off yet. Bitcoin is just bouncing between $93k and $95k. For me, it’s a bull run only if we hit $98k and stay there.

Yes! I read about this elderly guy who lost a ton of money. He got taken by an investment scam he found on LinkedIn. It used to be a trusted platform, now look at it.

As a Nigerian, it’s painful to see this nonsense. Our government is lost, and it shows. They’re trying to fix an already broken system by pointing fingers at exchanges. Just sad.

Good point. It needs to make economic sense for consumers. I’d love to hear any updates on how it’s performing.

The market’s rigged against the average Joe. Companies like BitFury pay like 3 cents per kWh and get all sorts of tax breaks. Unless you know someone in the government, you're at a disadvantage.
