I'm in favor of strict regulations on gambling ads. If I'm not mistaken several countries in Europe have already restricted gambling ads during sports matches. This isn't yet applied in my country, but I certainly hope it will be in as soon as possible.
These days, sports games have grown so closely associated with betting that it has somehow become a standard that watching a game live isn't complete if you don't place a bet on the team you're rooting for. Even sportscasters talk about betting odds while giving real-time commentaries of the game.
I think this is wrong and dangerous.
This is also one of those things that I don’t want to get normalized. Seeing a lot of gambling ads will not only harm us but most particularly those who are still minors and have still unclear knowledge about gambling. Instead of educating them on how to avoid gambling, or controlling their gambling urges, they would even resort into thinking that gambling is widely accepted so there’s no wrong even if you maximize gambling in your whole life.
Gambling is becoming unstoppable right now, and this gambling ads will eventually make it worst. So at least we should be more responsible and practice proper thinking when it comes to gambling.

Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't have that kind of influence? I don't agree. I'm sure everybody would scamper making sell orders if Satoshi moved even just a few Sats. Compromised, having a mental disease, or otherwise isn't the point. The point is that Satoshi has a million coins.
Bitcoin is not about trusting in authorities, yeah, but perhaps only in an ideal world. In real life, even the SEC has influence in the market. Trump has influence. Xi has influence. Saylor has influence.
He does not. If you would sell because Satoshi said or did something after a decade, you have joined Bitcoin for the wrong reason. You never cared or believed in its ideals. It is as simple as that.

Claims of large reserves have become an easy thing to do these days. It has become handy to exaggerate numbers. Here, you're even claiming "high-volume transactions without limits". That's a big claim. How about you provide proofs of these reserves?
Also, why do you have to ask for the user's phone number whenever he/she reaches out to you via your chat support? Why is it required?
Thank you for your inquiry and feedback.
If you haveany doubts before making an exchange for a large amount, you can always place
test orders for smaller amounts. We guarantee that every order will beprocessed as quickly as possible, regardless of its size. For additional
security, we recommend sending the address for verification in advance — thiswill completely eliminate any potential delays.
Regarding contacting our website chat: entering a phone number is not required.
We strive to be as customer-oriented as possible, so we have removed themention of needing to provide a mobile number in order to avoid
misunderstandings.

Satoshi Nakamoto did not create Bitcoin to become an influencer, he simply did what he is good at and he found happiness from his works. His big decision for Bitcoin project and Bitcoin community, leaving the community many years ago and has never returned until now, was not made by any reason of becoming an influencer.
It's hilarious that he did not chase influence but his influence in Bitcoin project, the community, the market and even at wider scale around the world, will stay forever.

The difference is that both BTCStrategy and BlackRock are active while Satoshi isn't. If Satoshi starts trading his/her/their coins, then it's obvious who has the bigger influence. Even the real Satoshi merely waking up has a much bigger influence in the market than BTCStrategy and BlackRock combined.
Satoshi has a great influence in the Bitcoin space. A single negative comment by Satoshi about Bitcoin will be a big blow to the market. Apart from the coin he holds, his personality is dominant.
No he does not have that kind of influence anymore. If such a comment came by "Satoshi" most would doubt his identity and reject the comment. You think of this in foolish way. Even assuming it were the real satoshi, it could be easily possible that he's compromised or that he has a mental disease. In those cases, any comments can be dismissed. Bitcoin is not about trusting in authorities. This is not a shitcoin like Ethereum.

In the first place,
BTCStrategy and BlackRock don't own their companies' Bitcoin. Unlike Satoshi, they don't have complete power and control over those assets. On the other hand, Satoshi could freely decide to dump everything at once.

Indeed, these institutions don't own the Bitcoin they hold. But the management of Strategy and BlackRock has great influence over these investors. Saylor's actions or inactions can make investors in his company sell off.

There will probably be a significant reduction in the hashrate, at least in the early phase. That's expected because Bitcoin mining right now is heavily dependent on other sources. Miners can't just shift to solar power overnight. But I believe it will catch up eventually and a new hashrate record will be hit.
I think the issue with solar power when used in Bitcoin mining is it's unstable nature. Bitcoin mining is energy-demanding and operates 24/7 while solar power isn't around the clock and is also dependent on the weather.
The government would have to give these miners time to switch to solar. In some countries, solar batteries could be charged so that they could work around the clock. But it will be very expensive.
I don't see the need for the government to impose such rules to miners. It would be at their own loss since they make money as well from the electricity consumed by those mining farms. I would reply directly to the title of this topic, solar energy has long been a back up option for miners.
The government can make such laws when power generation is less than the demand in a country. A few years ago, Kazakhstan had to reduce electric supply to miners because it was believed that they were the cause of power outages in the city of Almaty. The government can decide to cut miners out of the power grid because of other important sectors.

Most likely, mining Bitcoin will become more difficult, and not everyone will be able to do it. This right will mainly belong to large organizations, since small miners simply won’t have the ability to create the necessary conditions for mining. And even more likely, the price of bitcoin will rise significantly.

I'm not underestimating Thurman, but it seems he'll be having a hard time winning this one however you look at the match. With his significant height and reach advantage, even Fundora's jabs alone are probably enough to outpoint Thurman and defeat him via UD.
And given Thurman's age and probably ring rust, which definitely affects his reflex and agility, it's certainly a big challenge for him to be able to get inside and hurt Fundora from within.
If Thurman comes into this fight in good condition, I think he can win because he’s a smart boxer. Fundora may have beaten Tszyu, but in that fight Tszyu didn’t really make the right adjustments, which shows he doesn’t have the same ring IQ. Thurman on the other hand only lost to Pacquiao, and that was a pretty controversial one in my opinion.
I don’t care if he’s older, age is just a number, and Pacquiao already proved that in his fight against Barrios, and even though it ended in a draw, it was still a great fight.

Strictly speaking, this forum isn't open for everyone. There was a time mixers were freely promoted here. Today, they aren't allowed. In addition, HYIPs, scams, and the like aren't allowed, either. Even crypto services that are shady aren't welcome. They may be here, but you can notice their accounts highly distrusted.
Also, I won't say this forum is open for everyone because bans are imposed on certain users. Spammers could be banned at some point. The same with plagiarists.
If you're neither of the above, welcome, explore, and enjoy your stay!
Simply put, the forum is open for everyone but there are always strict rules and regulations to follow. And if you think you can’t do them, everyone is free to move out. There is always freedom in the forum, but what is highly valued is our freedom to speak and let other people hear your personal and valid views on certain topics or threads that are related about bitcoin and the crypto market.
Welcome to the forum. But just a friendly advice, don’t jump into posting. Study first, and make the most of it reading and exploring the whole concept of the forum. Acquire knowledge first, because posting requires if not experience, at least you should have stocked knowledge and values to make the forum more interesting.

Great job
Your writings are the bitter truth which just have to be said and yes op the forum isn’t open to everyone especially for those who have any negative intentions and thoughts for joining.
Adding to what Darker45 has already said, I think there is a proxyban on some countries in here and this is to help cum the rate of illegal or criminal (scams and scammers) on the forum.
But on the other hand, the forum is open to everyone who wants to learn and explore the world of digital assets, hence if you’re typically here to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general then you’re highly welcome.
I didn’t check through your profile and I didn’t notice your country but I would advise that you try to identify with your local board(country), so it will be more easier to assist you and teach you more better how to best navigate the forum.
Welcome.

No, that statement does not apply to this forum, which is open to anyone. The analogy remains the same: it is open to anyone, but the forum has rules and regulations for users. Anyone who enters here is allowed to do so, but they must follow the rules. There is no intimidation based on race, ethnicity, culture, nationality, or other backgrounds.
Regarding Mixer, it is only prohibited from being promoted on the forum. If we discuss it for the purpose of gaining knowledge, it is still permitted, provided it aligns with the prohibition statement, but it must not be associated with a specific project. If I recall correctly, and again, Mixer is not an individual.
As long as people can adhere to the existing forum rules, feel free to join and explore the forum.
13. Post 65727870 (unedited backup) (by fruktik) (scraped on Sun Aug 24 08:48:19 CEST 2025) in Economic differences between older and younger generation:
Many. For one, it seems to me, the younger generation is prone to live beyond their means. That's probably one of the biggest reasons why many young nowadays can't progress economically. Can't even save. They'd rather borrow money to watch a concert than save.
But I'm not blaming them. In the modern times, there's just so many things to buy, to spend your money on. It isn't like this in the years of old. There wasn't even a movie to watch, no phone to buy. There was even no internet, water, electric bills to pay.
My grandparents and their siblings all built their houses when they got married. Today, their grandchildren's families are growing bigger in rented apartments.
In my country, a few decades ago, there was exactly the same situation. There was nothing. Not even TVs. Time to read books and other literature. People are much smarter than the current generation, which is not able to cope with basic things and everyday affairs. You look at these zoomers and you become afraid for future generations. What will they get? Well, it's all complicated. If we do not move to a new level of development, it will be very difficult for our descendants.
14. Post 65726233 (unedited backup) (by d5000) (scraped on Sat Aug 23 19:53:49 CEST 2025) in Bitcoin Too Big to Die? Effect of "strategic reserves" on bear markets:
Meaning, they collude with each other just to bring a certain company down? Indeed, that sounds relatively unlikely.
The primary driver would be of course profit by short selling Bitcoin and the stocks of these companies. Not "just to bring them down". Just to clarify. Basically how short squeezes work, but the opposite. Or take Michael Burry, the guy who predicted the 2007/2008 financial crash since 2005 or so and made fortunes with his small hedge fond.
Of course there has to be a weakness in the business model, and a chance to exploit it, i.e. when some of these stocks lose demand. I personally am not too convinced of their business model being sustainable forever. But I don't expect neither a crash being 100% sure for the next 25 years or so (I think 50/50) neither do I expect the crash to happen in the next bear already, but there is a small possibility.
At most, if a chain reaction follows, then something similar to the Terra/LUNA effect on Bitcoin might happen. The price lost around 50%. But that was temporary. The market was able to fully recover a year later.
I agree. Even if Saylor falls this would not be the death of Bitcoin. But my dreams of a volatility reduction would have to wait then a few years more

15. Post 65723745 (unedited backup) (by d5000) (scraped on Sat Aug 23 03:24:07 CEST 2025) in Bitcoin Too Big to Die? Effect of "strategic reserves" on bear markets:
This is probably the prevailing thought right now. It will only be different if these huge names backing Bitcoin themselves are the ones dumping.
And imo if some thought is too "prevailing" or popular this could generate a certain risk: if contrarian traders (think those who dumped Terra/Luna and BTC when they were aware of the vulnerabilities of their algorithm) see a chance to bring one of the treasury companies into problems, then this could generate such a "huge name dump" via a chain reaction. I consider this relatively unlikely but not impossible: say they attack the weakest of the treasury companies while also shorting BTC, and then distributing the narrative that "Bitcoin Treasuries don't work", bringing also bigger treasury companies into problems (maybe not Saylor but the second tier).
Accordingly, I don't think volatility will disappear because it is the main factor in the game - it brings profit and at the same time sends the message that Bitcoin is not suitable as a currency.
Volatility "disappearing" is also not what I expect. And yes, the "riding the waves" pattern, be it short terme spikes or our beloved 4-year-cycle, is still prevailing among Bitcoin traders I think. But I expect that the ups and downs could become simply less extreme if there is less potential to panic because you fear to "lose everything" when "Bitcoin goes to zero".
But still with 50% of the current volatility there would be enough profit to be made with trading.

Your guess is as good as mine, but whatever. What's $213.68 million in Bitcoin, anyway? Even BTCStrategy could buy twice or thrice as that in just a day. That's not a big deal. A year ago, the German government sold billions worth of Bitcoin. It was gobbled up by the market. Months later, the price has more than recovered, and that decision of the German government has made them miss a multi-billion opportunity.
Whether it's for selling or not, I'm not the least worried.
BTC has a cap of trillion sizes - what millions are to it, if we are talking only about buys and sells?

So I totally agree with you.

Those who are long enough in the space will just sway his words off, as it should be done in case he would FUD BTC all the way.

People like that are too stubborn to admit their mistakes, unfortunately..And it's highly unlikely that would change in the future
