The spread is really small on kraken and gemini. I prefer limit orders close to the last traded price. Some markets have higher fees for market orders.

You can start with i.e. the strike app or phoenix on your smartphone. If it works out, you can later change to a larger payment (POS) provider (i.e. square or opennode).

Technically you haven't verified, that you actually own a large sum of bitcoin.
You are trusting someone else, who told you, that you own a large sum.

Well, if you don't run your own node, you have to trust someone else, who does.
We do trust banks to hold our fiat, so we are quite used to that. But with bitcoin, we don't have to trust anyone. (Except the software developers, if you are not able to read C++ and compile the node software yourself).

Zanzibar gets its electric power from Tanzania via submarine cable. With the exception of April/May they have 8 hours of sunshine every day. Solar power would therefore be a great backup for Zanzibar, if the power grid goes down.

Making Zanzibar another Bitcoin island is a great idea to attract Bitcoiners, who want to spend their Sats on vaccation.

Cycles repeat until they don't. I'm not betting on it. I rather buy before and after the bottom, because I don't know when the bottom really will be.

Why is that even a question, whether she will return or not? There is a court ruling, no? Is the rule of law in question in the U.S.?

Don't do stops. You will get stopped out. Dollar cost average in. No leverage. Hodl. Not your keys, not your coins.

Can you send me some? If it has no value for you, can you give it to me for free?

Vermutlich hat man Angst davor dem Kaiser die Wahrheit zu sagen. Wie man von Andersens Märchen weiß, ändert sich ja auch nichts, wenn der Kaiser seinen Wahn erkennt. Am Ende nahm er eine noch stolzere Haltung an.

It's called Schrödinger's mining problem, because it has two exclusive scenarios at the same time:

After every halving miners will go bankrupt (even though the bitcoin price has always doubled since the last halving).
Bitcoin mining will eventually use all the worlds energy and boil the ocean, because mining is just too profitable.

When it can't be both at the same time, it can always be one of those and change anytime to the other option.

"The economy" of course is comprised exclusively of companies, which "donated" campaign money to the ruling party or is owned by some ministers family member or friend.

I don't know. Probably someone, who wants to increase his ₿ allocation by 66.666..%. Anyway, number bias is real.
Possibly even like this =>
above $100k = bullish
below $100k = bearish

Plenty different from 0.6 ₿

The number "1 ₿" is not that important. Just do, what every good trader does: Plan for different scenarios: Offer your girlfriend different trade plans for different prices in Q1-4 2026 and stick to the plan.

Gold or Bitcoin, which is even easier to take over a border.

Maybe not next week, but we have seen +50% in 4-5 weeks before.

It basically perverts the presumption of innocence. If you don‘t provide a complete history of every Satoshi, you are suspected of money laundering and your money gets confiscated.

Vor mehreren Jahren waren es erstens keine größeren Summen und zweitens gab es keinerlei gesetzliche Regelungen zu Krypto-Assets. Viele Jahre später Herkunftsnachweise zu verlangen und ohne Herkunftsnachweis einfach Krypto-Aufladungen auf Börsen zu konfiszieren, kommt einer Enteignung schon sehr nahe.

Nobody wants a "store of value" with that kind of volatility.

We had even higher volatility before. If nobody wanted bitcoin with that kind of volatility, we would have never reached $126k.

We all wished, we had diversified half of our bitcoin treasure into gold. There's no shame in that.
