About Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital currency. Powered by its users, it is a peer to peer payment network that requires no central authority to operate. On October 31st, 2008, an individual or group of individuals operating under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" published the Bitcoin Whitepaper and described it as: "a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash, which would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

Bitcoin (BTC) News & Social Mentions

I didn't realize what people meant when they said "When the time comes, you won't have to sell your Bitcoin", Until Now:
The one thing people don't realize Bitcoin is for. You can take out loans on it. So in 10 years when you want a house, or duplex, or triplex, or apartment, or business; you can take out low interest rate loans for them with your Bitcoin, and buy that house, or rental property, or business you want. Something you could never do before any other way. This is what Bitcoin does for you. It grants you the net-worth and financial access so you can have the ability to get loans you could never get approval for before. Something as small as 20$ a month for 1 year or more, 10 years from now, can get you a loan for that house, or business you want but could never afford, or get an approved loan for. This is also better than selling your bitcoin for a property too. Because chances are, the Bitcoin ... (read more)

Muun is doing something very big UI wise, mainstream big here, trying to get clarity though on security issues
Muun (iOS) has created what appears to be a perfectly "Mainstream" ready bitcoin wallet with lightning transactions capability baked into a btc wallet. It seems to be less custodial than blue wallets' lightning wallet but more custodial than blue wallets layer 1 btc wallets. Something like a hybrid of BlueWallet and Lightning Labs (neutrino) wallet. I'm trying to get clarification on how they are securing my funds on lightning? or if that is just them running a custodial node with my funds and batching the channel management cost and adding them to fees sent in my lightning transactions. Currently I use a combo of Lightning labs iOS neutrino wallet and blue wallet iOS Heads up, I still haven't tested Muun, because I'm not putting my bitcoin on there until I understand how the security w...

About Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital currency. Powered by its users, it is a peer to peer payment network that requires no central authority to operate. On October 31st, 2008, an individual or group of individuals operating under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" published the Bitcoin Whitepaper and described it as: "a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash, which would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

Bitcoin (BTC) News & Social Mentions

I didn't realize what people meant when they said "When the time comes, you won't have to sell your Bitcoin", Until Now:
The one thing people don't realize Bitcoin is for. You can take out loans on it. So in 10 years when you want a house, or duplex, or triplex, or apartment, or business; you can take out low interest rate loans for them with your Bitcoin, and buy that house, or rental property, or business you want. Something you could never do before any other way. This is what Bitcoin does for you. It grants you the net-worth and financial access so you can have the ability to get loans you could never get approval for before. Something as small as 20$ a month for 1 year or more, 10 years from now, can get you a loan for that house, or business you want but could never afford, or get an approved loan for. This is also better than selling your bitcoin for a property too. Because chances are, the Bitcoin ... (read more)

Why buy GBTC?

Serious question, what is the incentive of owning shares of GBTC vs just owning bitcoin? I am relatively new to the crypto space. Thanks!

Muun is doing something very big UI wise, mainstream big here, trying to get clarity though on security issues
Muun (iOS) has created what appears to be a perfectly "Mainstream" ready bitcoin wallet with lightning transactions capability baked into a btc wallet. It seems to be less custodial than blue wallets' lightning wallet but more custodial than blue wallets layer 1 btc wallets. Something like a hybrid of BlueWallet and Lightning Labs (neutrino) wallet. I'm trying to get clarification on how they are securing my funds on lightning? or if that is just them running a custodial node with my funds and batching the channel management cost and adding them to fees sent in my lightning transactions. Currently I use a combo of Lightning labs iOS neutrino wallet and blue wallet iOS Heads up, I still haven't tested Muun, because I'm not putting my bitcoin on there until I understand how the security w...

Here's just an overly-simplified BTC comparison (not by any means an accurate prediction)
Would like to preface this with: I did this for absolutely no reason other than personal enjoyment out of the numbers & comparisons to things such as the DotCom period & FB. This is by no means a price prediction of mine. Just pure fun with numbers and time. With that said, enjoy. **World Population** (*W.P henceforth*) = **7.8B people** **59% of W.P is online** (*using internet*) = **4.6B people** **1% of W.P** = **78M people** **.33% of W.P Use BTC** (*semi-actively*) = **25M people** Price currently @ **$9,000** for **.33%** BTC Price @ **$27,000** for **1% W.P** users of BTC (**$9K price at .33% \* 3** \- **NOTE:** *this is 75-78M people using BTC*) *If 1/4th of the people who use the internet, used BTC, price estimate becomes:* **$405,000** *per coin*(*based on the...
