    Bitcoin pushed my Net Worth Up

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 12:31 AM PDT

    I will not tell the story of my life but a few years ago a tragedy forced me to immigrate to a new country. I sold all my belongings, including my apartment, and went all-in in the only asset I was sure I could carry everywhere without anyone bothering me about it.

    Now I am living in a developped country but work a low-end job. I passed through the last bear market 70% down. I did not sell any bitcoin. I tightened my belt and bought a little bit more.

    Since this year's price increase I looked up how my Net Worth compares. The wikipedia article lead me to this report. I found out that my Net Worth puts me at least in the top 25% of my country, top 10% for my age group.

    It makes me emotional: All my life I've been punished for working hard and rewarded for keeping low profile. I've been the family's scapegoat, a broke student, stuck in a souless corporate job, and a struggling immigrant. It's the first time in my life I have actual wealth that belongs to me and only me.

    Thank you Bitcoin.

    Brother passed away and left bitcoin. I need help.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 01:42 PM PDT

    I apologize if I posted this against any rules within the guidelines.

    My brother passed away back in May and he left Bitcoin. He didn't leave any written will regarding who gets his coin. We have access to his coin. But my mom and I don't know what to do. We don't know if we are going to get taxed, fined, Bitcoin taken away, etc.

    What would be the proper steps to take out Bitcoin or secure it within my immediate family.

    Dictator explaining Bitcoin benefits

    As we continue to fight the U.S. Congressional "infrastructure" bill and crypto provision, don't forget there is still also time to stop California's latest anti bitcoin bill, AB 1402 - a rent-seeking monstrosity which tries to force more regulation, permits and taxation on crypto users in the state

    We all work tirelessly and try hard to "succeed" in life and we're rewarded for it (in fiat) but I never really understood what SOV was. My Bitcoin now shows me that..

    Thank you Satoshi

    PayPal goes a step further in cryptocurrencies |

    There will be no successor to Bitcoin like there will be no successor to Wikipedia.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 10:33 AM PDT

    I have been thinking about the relationship between Bitcoin and altcoins, and how people (including me) have a hard time convincing themselves that there is only one Bitcoin and there will never be a Bitcoin 2, and no altcoin will ever be able to surpass Bitcoin in terms of its fundamental properties (mainly decentralisation, scarcity and security).

    Bitcoin is like wikipedia. Wikipedia is the only one that is authentic and indisputable.

    Then there are many different wikis... you have the Pokemon wiki, the Starcraft wiki, travel wikis, and even a wiki about bitcoin. These Wikis, as you might have guessed, are the Altcoins. They fulfil a particular function, they satisfy specific needs that are not relevant from an encyclopaedic point of view (knowing all the items in a video game, the places to visit in Thailand or any technical knowledge). These altcoins do not have a monetary function as powerful as bitcoin, just as wikis are not as encyclopaedic as Wikipedia.

    Wikipedia's hegemony as a repository of online knowledge is undeniable, being (in a sense) a consensus-based p2p network. No private company hiring top experts from all over the world can make a better encyclopaedia than Wikipedia. They have not been able to overcome the ability of millions of people around the world to selflessly contribute information.

    Moreover, if they succeeded, the content of this new encyclopaedia could become part of Wikipedia's content if it really adds value to what has already been written.

    Nobody believes that Wikipedia will disappear because of a better successor, as it is able to change and adapt. Just like Bitcoin.

    That's the way I see it.

    A friendly reminder about lambos

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 01:04 AM PDT

    I write these posts as reminders to myself to keep my ego in check.

    I do believe we are going to go MUCH higher than 100k. Humans are naturally greedy and there will be a tremendous amount of chasing. Just like in 17, the housing market in 07, and gamestop.

    I also believe that most people will blow the vast majority of money. And blow it quickly.

    Unless your friends do great on btc, keep it on the low. At best feelings of jealousy, at worst "why didn't you tell me".

    Get dad a car. Get sister a down payment on starter home.

    Be the same person. Just with more time.

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 01:46 AM PDT

    I feel like the coming legal tender adoption in El Salvador is going to be massive upside driver for BTC. In fact it is the reason I started stacking around 34k. Does anyone have any early intel on the coming implementation of the law?

    Bitcoin finally breaks another psychological barrier

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 08:02 PM PDT

    After struggling for long time to break that crucial psychological 50K barrier, Bitcoin finally breaks it.

    Everything indicates Bitcoin can reach the famous $100k before this year's end. The bull run continues this cycle. The dip from 60k to 30k was just a temporal and normal dip/correction.

    Don't listen to MSM and bears/trolls, just DCA and Hodl long-term regardless of the short-term volatility and learn about hard wallets to keep your coins safe.

    Learn as much as you can and that will give you peace of mind and balls of steel:

    As stated by redditor digiorno :

    Your ledger is an "access point", your coins are stored on their respective blockchains and your passphrase is the key to accessing them.

    Your crypto is NOT stored on the HW wallet, Ledger/Trezor etc itself.

    FUNDAMENTAL Rules :

    NEVER give out your private key if someone PM/DMs you...do NOT give it to them EVER.

    They may even chat text you.

    NEVER put your private key on a computer, laptop, cell phone, or even encrypted on the cloud.

    EVER.

    NEVER show your private key to anyone. EVER.
