BREAKING: #Bitcoin is witnessing the greatest public price manipulation in its history, just so big institutions can scoop up cheap coins. Don’t be fooled! Don’t sell your precious coins to these scammers. F*CK THEM, HODL! image

HODLing through noise has always been part of Bitcoin’s story. Institutions or not, staying informed and sticking to your strategy beats💯

Every top somebody well get blamed. Even though the price has gone sideways for a year which shows distribution.
Regardless of the latest drop, I don't think Bitcoin is the future. It is a technology which will be made antiqued by the next generation of money.
In your analogy, "the internet" would be cryptocurrencies. And the internet has seen many early players surpassed. http, MySpace, Geocities, even Yahoo used to be the biggest search engine before Google. So yes, there is a lot of scope for Bitcoin to become antiquated, and maybe cryptocurrencies as we know it will become antiquated too. This is why gold persists for thousands of years -- it is analogue. Technology becomes obsolete much more quickly.

Let me share this in advance, in case any fools come along with his argument, posing cunning questions like "Have we reinvented the internet?" This devotion to dogma and rhetoric among these Baitcoiner simpletons is non-existent even in Abrahamic religions. image

Wrong. The internet is not crypto. the internet is Bitcoin. Cryptos are the various private and proprietary networks that tried to compete with the internet, but we don’t even remember a single one of them now do we? The same fate befalls on the shitcoins.
You're arguing that Bitcoin will be the peak of monetary technology in perpetuity. This denies the nature of technological advancement. Cash had network effect until it didn't. Who uses cash now? So what happens to Bitcoin when the next big thing comes along?
"The internet is not crypto. the internet is Bitcoin" -- Sorry but this is just cultish talk. We saw what happened to MySpace, Nokia, and the horse & cart. Technology always gets surpassed. What happens to Bitcoin then?
There are already more secure cryptos than Bitcoin. Given that the masses are in Bitcoin at all is because of NGU, the hashrate is not the selling point. If the next big profit opportunity comes along, those people will move their money over. What happens to Bitcoin then? And that's just one scenario.

*Gestures broadly at all the shitcoins bleeding against bitcoin* Idk bro you tell me
You could say that about cash. Coins and notes have better forge-protections built upon it than in previous times, but the concept of cash has been surpassed as technology moved on.

Ok so now your point is? Look man I don’t have time to explain to you if you couldn’t get it. Protocols and technologies are fundamentally different. One’s winner take most, other is winner takes all. You either learn about it or don’t. Cheers and have a great week ahead.
The next big thing could be a more advanced cryptocurrency, or it may be a different means of money altogether. Given that technology is advancing at record speed these days, including with AI, I wouldn't be so sure that the BTC style of transacting will still be in play in the future.
My point was to address your argument that BTC gets upgraded and built upon. That is not a safeguard against being surpassed by newer technologies. That is the very nature of technological advancement. It's like saying iPhone is a store of value because it has network effect, and is being upgraded and built upon via the iPhone 17, then the iPhone 18, etc. Both iPhone and Bitcoin could go the way of Nokia dumbphones.

Another analogy that tries to lump Bitcoin with technologies instead of a protocol. Base 10 math is a protocol, all the theorems and formulas emerge from that. Base 10 math does not get replaced. The internet is a protocol. Websites and apps emerge from that. The internet does not get replaced It is easy to confuse bitcoin as a technology to be replaced rather than a protocol to have other things built upon.
It's the same dilemma -- The protocol can be usurped by evolving ideas & technologies, like the "protocol" of telephone communications have been usurped by evolving ideas & technologies.

Telephone communications could not be built upon, unlike the internet, and bitcoin. Bitcoin performs the base layer function of storing and transferring value in a decentralised and secure manner perfectly, and that’s all it needs to do. Privacy tech or faster transactions are already built on layer 2. If theres any more technological innovations on money, it will be built upon the bitcoin stack. If the innovation is not about money, it won’t compete with bitcoin. Just like how any communications innovation, like Nostr, is built on top of the internet stack, instead of inventing a whole new protocol that competes with the internet.
But telephone communications has been built upon. First with mobile phones, then text messages, then internet calls on WhatsApp, plus social media, banking apps, Discord chat rooms, etc., have all been built on top of what was just a telephone. Satoshi is like Alexander Graham Bell, except technology is moving much faster today than in Bell's day. It is very hard to be confident than BTC's vision of money will still apply in the years to come.
And other protocol's could surpass Bitcoin's. Ethereum is a separate protocol, for example. Who knows what will be created in the coming years. Sorry for the multiple posts. You may just answer my longer post to keep the thread tidy.
Do we know if the October 10th crash was caused by this bullshit guidance propagated by JP Morgan or shitcoiners? Thought Tom Lee (giant piece of shit) went on cnbc a week ago and claimed the October 10th liquidations were due to some bug/glitch on an exchange with a stablecoin price dipping to 65 cents and causing cascading liquidations on other shitcoin shops?

As I said, when the internet first came about, there were many other companies trying to create intranets and market them as a service. The open decentralised one won. When bitcoin first came about, there were many other companies trying to create their own protocols and market them as having a unique use case. Will the open decentralised secure protocol bounded by energy win? Or is this time different?

Then you haven’t really understood proof of work and why it is the real innovation.
Yo, for real? 🤔 Was it the JP Morgan hype or the shitcoiners makin' waves? Tom Lee was spittin' some wild tales about that glitch too. What's the real tea here? 🔍💸 #CryptoDrama
I don't expect anything to be different, I expect it to be the same old story -- new tech antiquates the old tech.
Ethereum is considered by many as more secure than Bitcoin due to its PoS consensus mechanism. That's just ETH, let alone what tomorrow's tech will bring.
You are saying something too. The task you have is to argue how BTC is the most secure crypto. It's not even private, which is a cornerstone of security.
Its secure because you'd have to build the electrical infrastructure of a small country and somehow aquire a billion dollars worth of ASICs to even attempt to alter the record of transactions. Now you.

I'm not arguing that. You've misunderstood me. Bitcoin is insignificant to me, and even harmful. Because it's a network that jeopardises all the privacy and liberty of its users. Bitcoin is obsolete. Monero is the only way.
No your task was to argue it is the most secure crypto, not what existing measures there are.
Ah sorry I misunderstood. I'm arguing with too many Bitcoin maxis around here.
The cool thing is that they help ensure its security guarantees even if they don't care about them The fact remains that there is no other crypto that comes even close to BTC as far as overall network security
It’s amazing these “tech” people can’t understand that the monetary properties of bitcoin realign incentives. Turns people into savers vs consumers (or at least did for me) being greedy (which is human nature) actually helps others that participate in the network
Bitcoin isn't even private. The government have an easy time tying your Bitcoin to you identity and confiscating it, making your second statement is demonstrably incorrect.
If you want to be a saver, gold is there. BTC is not a store of value any more than 1984 Volvo was. The tech will inevitably be surpassed and made antiquated.
Everybody should still use cash, where LN or XMR are not available.
Hashrate follows price and BCH just broke its 8 year down trend vs BTC. First 4 years down. Last 4 years more or less stable. The next 4 years? If it rises above 1 to 3% not to speak of 5 to 10% this will become a confidence game.
Greedy people is another reason why BTC's future isn't bright. BTC's ability to moon is running out of steam. See volatility chart. When the next tulips comes along, the sheep will move their money out of BTC and into the next big thing. What happens to BTC's price then? image
Of course! Haha I understand the privileged position I am in which is why I am so passionate about bitcoin. I feel it’s the best way to empower as many people as possible and it also hopefully will make my family wealthy
You still think think is only about the “tech” which is your problem here Gold is a failed money that led us to the fiat currency we live with today but nice try Bitcoin is a money that fixes the problems of gold Again best of luck in shitcoin land. I also thought the same things as you 7 years ago and it cost me lots of bitcoin
I feel like you are some stupid bot but even a bot could not be this dense Best of luck to ya Wasted enough of my time on you sir
Yes, they've been manipulating things for years. These are the same crimes denounced in my links, including the fact that the owners of Facebook and Twitter are connected to a cult along with Trump leaders. They are in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. My Git has some links regarding the increase in rape cases.
