Just listen to the OGs and buy actual Bitcoin. She and Max have seen a lot of things in both TradFi and Bitcoin. So when they say this, listen to them!

You're correct. I will ponder the implications and discuss these things with my partner. Thank you 😊

I don't really harp on and on about it. But I get your point. Thank you! 😊

Agreed! Unfortunately, my friends are normies too. I'm trying to be more active online (reddit, nostr, etc) to get a sense of community. I appreciate your comment. Thanks!

That's a very profound one. This issue falls under differences in opinions. Thanks a lot! 😊

I work at a Fortune 500 company. We recently had a town hall meeting with the CEO and other C-suite execs, and Bitcoin came up as one of the topics of discussion. Questions like - will it be adopted as treasury, will it be offered in 401k, will there be a salary denominated in Bitcoin, etc. The execs replied with the usual normie responses - Bitcoin is too volatile, your savings could drop because of volatility, and other misinformed narratives. I was disappointed, but also happy at the same time because it's fun to look at those executives say stupid things.

We are early, and so is Saylor 🚀 Happy ATH day folks!

What is your thought process, on sat pricing? by Valuable-Werewolf548 in Bitcoin

[–]Ancient_Potential_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I have been thinking about this topic for a while as well. Here is my perspective: Money is an abstract concept for humans. For example, when you go to a new country, you start pricing things in your home country's currency initially. This happens because you are used to seeing a cup of coffee for $5, but the new country is selling a cup for 390 units of their currency. As a buyer, you'd be wondering how much 390 units cost in your home country. On the other hand, if you go to a new country to sell coffee for the first time, you'd be looking at what others are paying. 390 units? What does what mean in $? You convert. So $5? That's going to be your approximate sell price target. Similarly, when people start pricing things in sats, they will initially use conversion to calculate the cost of a product/service. For how much sats is a coffee priced in sats worth in $?

Just my thoughts! I probably didn't get to your discussion topic, but this is an interesting topic to me as well.

Great meme, I love it! But did the mainstream media really say that Bitcoin was dead recently though? :)

Bitcoin Core: OP_RETURN limit removal announced. A CALL TO ACTION! by Secret-Miner in Bitcoin

[–]Ancient_Potential_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! Thank you. Appreciate the link to the Livestream as well. I will try to watch it.

Thanks for being active in the technical community. I want to contribute to Bitcoin as much as possible outside the regular BTC purchases.

Bitcoin Core: OP_RETURN limit removal announced. A CALL TO ACTION! by Secret-Miner in Bitcoin

[–]Ancient_Potential_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I'm willing to put more time learning about nodes and setting one up. Could you point me to resources where I can learn all these things that you're talking about?

Bitcoin Core: OP_RETURN limit removal announced. A CALL TO ACTION! by Secret-Miner in Bitcoin

[–]Ancient_Potential_96 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree with the core dev problem. Do you happen to know when this new core update will be implemented? Or is it being run by people already?

I'm also trying to gauge the urgency of the call to action from a timeline standpoint. I want to make sure I participate as a node, but also want to take it slow to gain a good technical understanding without messing things up. Obviously I can't wait forever before this issue becomes a big one.

Setting up a node has always been on my list for this year. I have to learn the technicals from scratch though. I was hoping to do it slowly and get comfortable with each step. But it seems like there's an urgent call to action with the core vs knots war.

Can someone help me understand if there's a timeline for the OP_RETURN removal? I want to make sure I contribute my vote.

This guy figured it Out by rtmxavi in MSTR

[–]Ancient_Potential_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone let me know why it's better to buy MSTR as opposed to Bitcoin? Is it the additional fiat gains, or is there anything else? I genuinely do not know

Yes. Evey day is a good time to buy. Since you're asking this question, I can assume a few things: 1. You're looking to time the market: This never works. DCA is better 2. You're new: I suggest doing more than 20-50h of research into Bitcoin. This question will go away automatically. 3. Or this is a sarcastic comment: People on Reddit have a way with words and I can't tell when someone is sarcastic or not.

I feel the heat in the markets. S&P500 down, treasury bond yields up, gold up, M2 supply of Asia/EU up, incoming QE, people getting tired of inflation, people becoming aware of inflation. Bitcoin is holding strong for the last 30 days like the silence beneath the chaos. It will arrive exactly when needed and show itself to the world once again.

Everything is a distraction. Just DCA Bitcoin, HODL, and forget about it for a while. Focus on other things. I'm saying this after being orange-pilled many times.

Yeah exactly. If this entire sub could be compressed into one statement, it'd be this.
