You're thinking the right way. Bitcoin may stay and may succeed in the long term as a commodity. It will NEVER be a currency. The blockchain will not prevent governments from putting you in a cage at best or putting a bullet in your skull at worst.

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering.”
Mining bitcoin requires users to solve complex mathematical equations using high-powered computer setups. The electric consumption used in the process leaves an annual carbon footprint equal to the nation of New Zealand, according to Digiconomist.“ https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/22/yell...t-bitcoin.html Oh noes! “Various government agencies have contemplated the idea of making an alternate digital currency with the hopes that it would open up the global payments system to those who don’t have access. The Federal Reserve, where Yellen once served as chair, has studied the issue and discussed the possibility of a new digital currency along with a payments system it expects to roll out over the next several years. “I think it could result in faster, safer and cheaper payments, which I think are important goals,” Yellen said. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/22/yell...t-bitcoin.html There ^ it is. Bitcoin’s time is limited, a beta test for the coming Fedcoin. Might be a good time to take your winnings and invest them in GameStop and Hertz. |

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm on the hunt for similar info. It's interesting to hear about your Bitcoin journey and your decision to jump on the MSTR ship. Timing it during a temporary dip sounds smart.Even though the stock price dipped a bit, don't worry! Bitcoin's upward movement is definitely a good sign. And it's cool to hear about your successful move from fully loaded Nasdaq to the Small cap fund. Seems like you made the right call there!By the way, during my online crypto search, I stumbled upon this website*https://www.moonbitcoins.com/dashboard. They offer free Bitcoin mining, which caught my attention. If you're curious, you might wanna check it out. Oh, and just so you know, I'm new to this forum and excited to join the discussion.

While the US dollar has robust backing from governmental institutions, Bitcoin operates in a decentralized manner. This decentralization is both its strength and potential vulnerability. If you're intrigued by the complexities of Bitcoin and want to explore further, I can share some tips on how to sign up for Binance 바이낸스 가입방법. It's essential to understand the landscape as we navigate the future of finance!

I know a dood, maybe family, not blood, bought $10K, maybe $20K, when at $1.00, he is a baller.
He also got a ton of telsa at IPO price. |

I'm comfortably retired and secure. No need to invest in stuff I can't put my hands on. No interest, either.

His son knows cybercurrencies, told him to do it, he is glad he did. Know another dood, not family, he bought bitcoin in OCT last year, paid $27K, doing VERY well today. I do not understand cybercurrencies, never been a buyer. |

Degreed Computer Scientist here - Bitcoin and its ilk are software constructs in cyberspace with individual transactions recorded in a "block chain" - (we used to call these linked lists) - the results have no intrinsic value (which is why Buffet calls it "rat poison").
Its appeal was to cut out the banking middle man and achieving anonymity (which is not really the case anymore). If you want to actually DO anything with crypto you have to turn into something else with intrinsic value, cash, stocks, real estate, etc.. Its a speculative play with a bit of the "bigger fool" theory at work; throw some money at it if you like slot machines but don't bet the farm...the volatility swings and "wild west" aspect are not for the faint of heat. |
