Someone said he has been buying bitcoin from around $19,000, and has being accumulating more and more even while bitcoin is getting more and more expensive, he said he has been buying and will keep buying and buying until the price of bitcoin reaches $1,000,000 (one million dollars), this is when he will stop buying, said at this point, he will sell a small amount of his bitcoin holdings and retire for ever 😂.

So, I got curious and wanted to know if there are some of us here who think along this same line, so I brought this topic up for us to discuss.

At what rate or price will you stop buying bitcoin forever?

Here is my own answer, I will stop buying bitcoin completely when the price reaches $200,000, when bitcoin reaches this price, I will completely no longer buy bitcoin, but will only focus on earning it, like through my signature ad slot, and other bitcoin paying services.

What about you?

Today is 27th of February, and like i believe many of us already know, we are in a leap year, which means, instead of February ending tomorrow being the 28th, we are going to see one day extra, which is the 29th of February, which simple means that from today, we have 2 more days before we say bye bye to February.

Now, bitcoin has been performing really nicely lately, between yesterday and today, we saw the price rose from around $51,000 and currently trading a little about $56,000 at the time of typing this post.
Like I said before, it's 2 days before the month of February ends, let's play a little bitcoin price prediction game, the game will end on the 29th of February, at 11:59 pm (forum time).

The game is - within this two remaining days for February to be over, do you think Bitcoin price will reach $60,000?
Answer "YES" or "NO" in commment and state why you think what you think.

Let's have fun while watching the price of bitcoin do it's thing. 😅

Yeah, and you read that right, the bull run is coming, bitcoin is currently above $50,000, which make it more closer now to $100,000 than $0, just a $20,000 more and we will see a new all time high for bitcoin.

The coming bull run may be the biggest, far bigger than what we have ever seen before, and much even bigger than any of us might have imagined, but wait... It's commonly said that one can't eat his or her cake and have it back right? Yeah, as this coming bull run may likely be the biggest ever, it may as well be the last, with more bitcoins in the hands of asset managers, the government may likely take over the cryptocurrency market after this bull run, and you know what that means.

So, if you are here today, you have a great opportunity before you, to generate as much generational wealth as possible through the coming bull run, this might be your last chance, do not miss this, do all you can to take advantage of the coming bull run as possible, don't fumble.

This is my sermon for today.

Yeah, I think the subject of this thread already says it all, most people in cryptocurrency seem not to want to learn the easy way, until they have to learn the hard way when they will have to suffer the lose of their funds to either a hack or other vices...

What exactly do I mean?

A very popular crypto YouTuber I believe many of us will know - The Moon, also known the "Moon Carl" asked a question on this telegram group with a poll, and the question goes "How do you store your Bitcoin?" he added five different options..
1. On an exchange
2. In a hardware wallet
3. In a software wallet
4. I use a combination of methods
5. I don't own bitcoin yet.

And amazingly, out of this five options, and out of the over 700 people that voted, the majority, at 32 percent said they store their bitcoin on exchanges, while 28 percent said they store bitcoin in a hardware wallet, 9 percent store their bitcoin in a software wallet, 15 percent said they use a combination of methods to store their bitcoin, and 16 percent said they don't own any bitcoin yet - this data is at the time of writing this post.


So, I kind of find it amazing that, with the whole campaign of NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR CRYPTO, bitcoin investors still trust centralized exchanges enough to hold their bitcoins in there, forgetting all the previous incidents where an exchange gets hacked, and investors lose all their funds..

I ask you the same question, where do you store your bitcoin?

So, this is more like (as promised) a reply to the thread Bitcoin VS Quantum Computing.
This is one of my threads from bitcointalk, so, I am just going to repost it here, for those who haven't seen it before to see and read, and also know that quantum Computers are nothing to be afraid of, when it comes to whether they are a threat to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, or not, you can find the initial thread on bitcointalk HERE.
And below is the information as shared on the other forum.

Not even Quantum computers will be able to defeat Bitcoin and the literal BTC network.

hear me out,

Quantum computing represents a fundamental leap from traditional computing, Unlike classical computers which process information in bits (0s or 1s), quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits. Qubits,
Through the principles of superposition and entanglement, can hold and process a vast amount of information more efficiently than classical bits.

This efficiency makes quantum computers particularly adept at solving certain types of problems much faster than classical computers.

Now, relating this to Bitcoin, BTC's security largely hinges on cryptographic algorithms like SHA-256 for hashing and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for wallet security.

Classical computers, even the most powerful, would require impractical amounts of time to break these algorithms.
But, a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could, in theory, solve these problems much more "rapidly."

in theory.

Particularly, "Shor's algorithm" in quantum computing poses a theoretical threat to ECDSA, potentially enabling the derivation of private keys from public keys.

I fundamentally disagree with the overstated fears around quantum computing's threat to Bitcoin, for There are several key arguments to consider:

Practicality and Timeframe

The current state of quantum computing is far from being able to threaten Bitcoin.
The largest quantum computers today are still experimental and nowhere near the number of qubits required to break Bitcoin's cryptography.
This development is likely decades away, giving the Bitcoin community ample time to implement post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.

Network Consensus and Adaptation

Any changes to Bitcoin's cryptographic algorithms would require network consensus, which is a cornerstone of Bitcoin's decentralized ethos.
This consensus-driven approach means the community is unlikely to let Bitcoin become vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Misplaced Priorities

The worry about quantum computing breaking Bitcoin's cryptography often misses a larger point.
If quantum computing reaches such an advanced stage,
Bitcoin will not be the only technology at risk.
The entire fabric of digital security, including banking, national security, and internet privacy, would be in jeopardy.
In such a scenario, Bitcoin's vulnerability would be part of a much larger crisis.
For every measure there is a countermeasure taking place, always remember this.

Bitcoin has substantial economic backing and community.
This support system provides strong incentives to maintain the network's security against all types of threats, including quantum computing.
The narrative that quantum computing will "break" Bitcoin fails to account for the dynamic and resilient nature of Bitcoin's technology and community.


Thanks for reading, and do feel free to drop your comment, opinions or questions.

I was browsing through Twitter and I saw a shot someone posted where Eric Cantona (a former professional footballer) was quoted saying that people can change wives, change religion and even politics, but can not change their favorite football team.


And the comment section of the tweet, many people agree with him, and I personally thought to disagree, but I quickly remembered that I've been an Arsenal fan for many years now right from when I was a teenager and up to this moment, and even then Arsenal was one the worst football club, I never stopped seeing myself as their fan, and neither have I ever supported another club to beat Arsenal even when I'm certain that Arsenal chances of wining is as good as zero.

So, I began to think within myself if actually this is true for everyone else, and if there is some kind of mystery behind football clubs and team fanship.

What do you think about this?

I actually posted about this on btt a couple of hours ago, so, I thought I should also share this good news here as well.


I don't know if another user has beat me to this, but I am particularly happy to announce to the bitcoin community that VanEck, GrayScale, Fidelity and some other fund manager have started advertising their bitcoin spot ETFs on google as seen in the screenshot above.

I don't know what or how you guys will perceive this, but I am particularly bullish on this one, I think the coming bull run will be massive, another opportunity for us all the generate life changing profits, I hope we all are well positioned???  No one should miss this coming bull run for whatever reason.
All this good news have not had any trigger on the bitcoin market yet, so, I am personally believing that by the time all this great news begin to show its impact on the market, it's gonna be massive, and until then, let's keep accumulating.

So, guys and ladies..
I was thinking of something to discuss here, something that may likely not happen, but still very realistic and with slim chances of it happening, so, this idea came into my head, and I've actually asked myself this question over and over again, and the Answer in my head made me discover that, I may not actually trust myself completely to do  the right thing at all times, and I can't really explain how it makes me feel..

So, I am going to ask you guys the same question, and one thing I ask of is, that we all look inward ourself, look outward as well, think about how far this can take you in life, and your family as well, and be very honest with your answer.

THE QUESTION
Lets say you woke one morning, and decided to check one of your wallets, and amazingly, you found $1 million dollars worth of bitcoin sitting there, this money was mistakenly sent to your wallet from a wallet address you do not know who it belongs to, but you are very sure it's not from an exchange.

What will you do?
Will you immediately sent the money back to the address it came from?
Or would you keep and spend it?
Or would you just it leave it for a very long time with touching it? If yes, for how long are you going to leave it? And at the end, what will you still do?

Lets have a good discussion on this please..
