    #DropGold / Why Bitcoin's Revival Is Different This Time Around

    Do you really think that I'm trying to recruit the naysayers? Do you believe there is even a 1% chance I can convert an ET who's against bitcoin/cryptos into buying into the cryptos space? No and no, I don't care if you or the others buy or don't buy. I'm invested in cryptos and very happy I...

    He started with a reply to the thread by calling bitcoin investors stupid idiots and I reciprocated. My last reply to him was professional and civil as his last post was such, even if it was not a reply to me. Your first post here on this forum almost 2 years ago was to boycott HBO if they "buy...

    Good opportunities to invest with Bitcoin

    Kraken is the most appropriate for US folks. If you can pass the KYC, there are exchanges outside of the US you can buy xtz using bitcoin (i.e. Huboi Global hbg.com). Please don't buy from hitbtc, it's a known scam exchange and you may never get your coins, but again, only buy in $2-300 lots...

    Good opportunities to invest with Bitcoin

    I'm very reluctant to respond to this as I don't want to recommend something I have a position in.

    #DropGold / Why Bitcoin's Revival Is Different This Time Around

    If you want to discuss bitcoin (cryptos) market like adults, we can do that too. No one, not even me, is telling you to invest a significant portion of your net-worth into bitcoin or cryptos.

    1. This is very important and needs addressing. Not your private keys, not your coins. If you read about bitcoin (cryptos) and all you know is that your funds or coins will be in some shady exchange, you did not do more research. Always withdraw your coins to your local wallet. Whenever I...
