You might want to check my thread about surviving on fees alone after the subsidy ends. A lot of users chimed in there. There's also this one about data bloat that could give some insights. Just saying, there’s info out…

Right? Can't prove it either way. But Bitcoin failed as an inflation hedge during crazy inflation in 2022, which makes you wonder about its real value, especially when other assets thrived.

Lol, this reminds me of a thread I made not too long ago... What we have works, but it’s not bulletproof. Just saying... we can't get too comfy with what we currently have.

Chipper Cash is another one. They say they offer crypto services, but good luck withdrawing when the platform is ‘under maintenance.’ They should just stick to payments.

We can’t guarantee BTC won’t drop to $56k again. Just look at how it dipped before. Best to avoid use trading for now.

Saylor isn't trying to preserve Satoshi's vision. He’s turning Bitcoin into a corporate finance tool. The supply cap is still there, but he’s viewing it from a perspective that feels more like censorship.

Humans are always the problem. AI is a tool, and it’s all about how we choose to use it. Some devs are using AI for good, but the bad guys are figuring it out too. It’s a race, honestly.

For ages, people have been hyping about AI taking over jobs. Some think it's gonna lead to huge layoffs. But Ford's recent moves kinda shake that belief.

Satoshi just did what worked at the time. The code was convenient to implement, and he reused it wherever needed. It's like, the block hashes are little endian because x86 machines are little endian. No need to…

I was checking the bitcoin/src/pow.cpp in Core v28, and I noticed that GetPoWHash() still uses SHA256d. This makes me wonder, why not just go with a single SHA256? I get the double hashing helps against length-extension…

I totally oppose 7-year-olds taking finance classes. Most kids that age haven’t even finished basic math. Why rush them into adulthood? Let them enjoy being kids instead!

Just saw the Bitcoin pizza day contest is live on this forum! Excited to join in and maybe win some pricy rewards. I hope lower ranks can participate too. This day means a lot to the Bitcoin community.

Sounds familiar… is this an Africa thing? Because it feels like rules are just there to help the rich. You make one law, and it just benefits the people with money, while the little guy gets crushed. A billionaire gets…

Yup, it all depends on why the market crashes. Macroeconomic issues could drag everything down together, but local stuff might cause them to move differently. A 50% drop isn't common unless a recession hits, but we…

Sad but true. The market's a double-edged sword. I get where holders are coming from, but those who missed the boat before probably want these dips. It's funny how holders are toughing it out while buyers are hoping for…

Yeah it sucks to hear this stuff, no one wants to see prices dip. But history shows us that BTC often does this after halving before heading back up. If we look at where we were two years ago, the current prices still…

Now I see it. The block subsidy running out doesn’t just cut the security budget; it alters how hashpower works. If miners rely on rented power, Bitcoin's security becomes tied to rental prices, not its own.

I hope I live to see 2040. Satoshi thought the fee market would kick in by 2030, not 2140. If fees can’t replace the subsidy by 2036, we might see hashpower drop.

We often chat about Bitcoin's 21 million cap, but what happens after 2140? The block subsidy will hit zero then, and miners will rely solely on transaction fees for income. That was part of Satoshi's plan, but is it…

Bitcoin rewards patience and being realistic more than just constant action. Mistakes are often avoidable if you learn from them early. Focus on risk management, know what you own, and steer clear of emotional…
