Sold everything for Bitcoin
well, actually not everything, just anything that was liquid. My stocks, altcoins, my savings. I tried to even move my 401K into a bitcoin IRA, but they said I didn't have enough money. I needed $5,000 but I only had $3,500 in my account. It is a huge bummer because I could have gotten 1/3 of a bitcoin. I'm wondering if it is worth withdrawing for straight cash and use that to purchase bitcoin with or just keep in old school fiat??? Maybe you guys can help me decide.
I've been involved with Cryptocurrencies ever since JUST before the 2017 bull run. That means even though the bear market of 2018, even when it was just $3,000, I was still buying in both scared and excited that it REALLY could go to zero (at least it seemed that way at the time) or be apart of a new global revolution. Of course, now I'm kicking myself for not dollar-cost averaging more when I could have bought 0.01 bitcoin at a time for $30!!! Now 0.01 bitcoin costs just over $100.
It still seems super-duper risky, but given bitcoin's history, it should have been dead again, and again and again, but it is still here stronger than ever. I hope bitcoin really does end up working out doing good things for the world.

Andreas Antonopoulos: "We are going to try EVERY scaling mechanism possible" Except the most obvious and "easiest" (at least near-term) method by raising the block size...
From Andreas talk June 27 in Munich answering a question about what happens to BTC when Lightning (LN) doesnt work out...
As MANY have known for YEARS... high fees and variable/long tx confirmations (BTC) do NOT lead to mass adoption, and in fact has resulted in NEGATIVE adoption!
And that is precisely why BitcoinCash (BCH) was created...

Bitcoin Cash celebrates its 2-year anniversary. Let's take this opportunity to remember that most crypto enthusiasts, both BTC and BCH, are working toward the same goal.

In the Month of July, anti-BCH, pro-BSV/BTC posts were Gilded over 750 Times at r/btc
102 of these were platinum.
650+ were gold.
With the most value for money option, that's 9 x $99 packages, or $900 per month for gold, and 5 x $99 packages for $500 worth of platinum.
The total number may be greater, as only golds and platinums with negative karma were counted.
At least $1400 per month is being spent to try and change the narrative at r/btc by boosting anti-BCH sentiment with Reddit rewards. This attack has been ongoing for at least 6 months.

I don't understand the whole Spice token thing.
How can it be a tipping token? To tip, it needs value. To have value, it needs to be bought. And who's buying it???
I understand the whole create your own SLP token for fun thing, but i don't understand how Spice has a meaningful valuation.
Do people think its more fun to tip in their proprietary shitcoin then Bitcoin? Is it some kind of a one-time proof of concept campaign? I just don't think i get it.

BTC: A lifetime of wealth for $30.00
7B people, 21M BTC. If BTC were equally distributed among all people in the world, that would mean each person would own 0.003 BTC / 300k Satoshi (21,000,000 / 7,000,000,000). At today's prices, 300k sat costs $30.
Add to that: it won't be equally distributed, and some BTC is already lost, and more will be lost, and the Earth population will continue to increase beyond 7B, which means the median btc/person amount will likely be far less than 300k sat. It makes 300k sat for $30 seem like a pretty good deal right at the moment, for those of us who believe in the long term viability of the network.

Today must be an interesting and historic day for Satoshi if he is still alive. It's been just over 10 years since the genesis block was mined with the message "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" Since that time Bitcoin has been faced the extreme forces of internet hackers and government attacks. Nevertheless Bitcoin has risen to $10,000. Today the U.S. Fed cut interest rates for the first time since the creation of Bitcoin. As the printing presses of the central bankers start the bleed ink we will see the second Title wave of Bitcoin Value and Attacks. Long live economic freedom.
If you are alive and see this; we thank you Satoshi for your intellect, honesty and love of freedom.
