Not really imo... If the coin is just sitting there and has not been moved on chain, it does not mean it is not in circulation. The owner can spend it whenever he wants if he still has the keys and quickly put it back…

That street test analogy is spot on and honestly undersells it. Even among people who have heard of Bitcoin, most couldn't tell you how it actually works beyond "digital money." And that knowledge gap is a real barrier,…

Good reality check. The headline numbers always sound massive but the actual allocation tells a different story. 1% from BlackRock's AUM still sounds like a lot in dollar terms but it shows that the majority of…

The MNAV compression point is one of the more important ones in this thread, and I think a lot of MSTR holders don't fully understand what happens when that premium shrinks. When MSTR was trading at 2x+ MNAV, the…

Most people here already said the main stuff so I'll just add one thing, the inheritance side of it. When assets are inside a trust or holding company, passing them to kids is way cleaner. No probate court, no public…

Like any other investment, bitcoin is no different. On the plus side, massive hype and unbelievable growth in the last 15 years. On the other hand, banks are trying to destroy it. So all up to you. Maybe it will be $1m…

In most cases it does not initiate war, but it can make things bad in the country. If prices are out of control and people are unable to purchase, if government is weak and cannot control basic life, then unrest may…

Is that address correct? Starting by m?

The profitability calculation point is really what it comes down to. A lot of people jump into solar for mining thinking it's basically free energy but forget to factor in the upfront cost of panels, inverters,…

Oops! Continue on...

Asking something like this equates to me looking into a crystal ball and telling you the answer. Fact is, if we could predict it, we'd be multimillionaires right now. But we aren't. In theory, i'm hoping the market will…

For the curious, the payload in question is:…

Hey guys, I just wanted to get your thoughts on this bitcoin message verifier page I created. It’s at https://verify-bitcoin-message.js.org I initially built it to learn more about the tech, but I also wanted a…

No, it was not a usual form of a normal Flu. Covid and the Flu may have same symptoms, but that doesn't mean the same disease. Doctors have conducted tests and diagnosis to determine which one it is. It also spread…

While one big holder can influence the price in the short term, it is not the same as a systemic risk to Bitcoin. The network is still in operation, it's the market depth and the total liquidity that is important, not…

Manipulation going down sounds good on paper but think about what actually brings people into crypto. The crazy swings, the 30% crashes, the 2x months. That's what gets people talking. Regulate all that away and crypto…

The public blockchain is actually what made normal people trust Bitcoin in the first place. You can verify your own transaction without asking anyone. No bank, no middleman, just check it yourself. That kind of…

This is the point that gets missed in most of these discussions. People hear "the US doesn't depend on the strait" and think that settles it, but the supply chain doesn't work that way. When your trading partners take a…

There are also a lot of own brands and products in China, and some of them are really innovative. Rather, it is perhaps more about brand pushing and price competition than innovation vs replicas. I think this was the…

This point gets ignored way too much. The halving narrative was always built on the assumption that miner selling pressure drives the cycle, but if miners are only responsible for 0.1% of daily supply, then cutting that…
