Getting interrogated at my Canadian bank over a 12,000 CAD$ (8800$ USD) wire transfer. The manager smelt the money 😳

Went to do a 12k wire transfer and got full on interrogated because it was to a crypto exchange, “where is it going to?” “Why are you sending overseas” “do you know this person” “we’re you forced to do this” then the manager comes over and starts inspecting the cash while giving me a lecture on how there are tons of scams in sending money for “bitcoins”. Then I watched her pick up a couple hundred dollar bills and smell them. Literally smelt the bills.

I know BMO doesn’t like crypto because they don’t let me use my debit card to pay for crypto on moonpay but smelling the cash??? Unreal

Are Maxis 100% Certain They're Right? How to shake 'BTC doubt'?

This post might get dismissed for incoherent ramblings.I don't know if I'm naturally still a BTC skeptic. I want to move towards being a maxi. I already refer to myself as a maxi but I don't know if I'm telling the complete truth. Are maximalists 100% certain that stacking Bitcoin is an intelligent decision now, or is 99% enough to qualify?I've read a large plethora of resources on btc. I'm still not set on BTC in relation to the human condition. For instance, the general rejection of the unkown by most people, and how easily public opinion is swayed by the powerful in media and our kleptocratic, plutocratic governments.Personally, whilst I was in the process of internalising 'not your keys, not your coins' last year, I got stung in Celsius collapse. I had just withdrawn all of my BTC before the collapse (thankfully) but a couple of shitcoins got stuck. If and when I get anything back, I'll liquidate instantly and buy more btc. All of my holdings are in cold storage now.But I keep stacking sats, and the doubt is still there, what if this is all for nothing. From a personal investment standpoint as a young person, my brain wants to just DCA into tried-and-tested index funds, not btc, as much as I would love societal BTC adoption to continue on an uptrend.I wonder if this sort of illogical fear is due to my negative experience with Celsius (I know, shameful, idiotic, disgusting, I hate myself for it). But, also I can never seem to eradicate the doubt, so that leads me to thinking I have some sort of subconscious illogical trauma from Celsius which is preventing me from becoming more comfortable with Bitcoin again, despite the two concepts being entirely unrelated. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3IA1lZF

If you had a windfall how much would you put in bitcoin?

I’m getting 167k on Friday. I’m thinking about using 20k for debt. Then with the remaining 147k I’m thinking about getting two bitcoin, and then putting 100k in stocks. After I do this my only expenses would be 1604.99/mo (rent/phone/utilities) and 1,161/mo for car/insurance. For a total of 2765.99/mo. I make roughly 2,600-2,700 twice a month. So I have about 2450 leftover after monthly expenses for food, spending money, and savings. I’d plan on splitting whatever’s leftover at the end of the month between my investment account, and my car debt (47k)

24 yr old male with Spinocerebular ataxia (and bitcoin maximalist)

Title says it all. I have my report from my neurologist and it is now 100% sure I have inherited SCA1 from my mother.The symptoms will kick in mostly during the 4th or 5th (best case) decade of life.At around 2-4 years after the first signs of symptoms (motoric and verbal inhibitions) it is quite normal to be stuck in a wheelchair permanently while loosing motorical functions as time goes on.The research around a therapy of spinocerebular ataxias wich are neurodegenerative diseases, are still in play and there is no healing as of right now.NOW: Bitcoin helps me keep being optimistic. In 10-20 years I hope I can use my stack to push the research and find a lab that studies for a promising therapy plus put it into research foundations for ataxia and so on.There is good research done today but it could be better.I think the majority of corporations especially pharma and such will stay in a stinky fiat-oriented system, but I think Bitcoin is likely gonna invade fiat-pharma corporations wich results a push for further innovation.And if not: hell, my life is shorter but at least I got my bitcoins to spend it and give them to my kids maybe. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3EovBFz

You people are seriously not thinking clearly. - Reawakening A 10 Year Old Post

You people are seriously not thinking clearly.This situation is not the end of the world. It is not some massive shift in the world of Bitcoin. It is not MtGox’s fault. It is not the high frequency traders fault. It is not even the speculators fault. Merchant acceptance will not save us from these things.We are dealing with a massive new technology that has the potential to change everything. It will change how money is transferred between countries. It could become the international standard among currency evaluation. It will change how the drug/black market operates. It will change how Governments regulate borders. This is not a speculative stock. This is not a currency useful for day-to-day trading. You cannot be a “bitcoin millionaire” without knowing that if the network got cracked, you’d be worth $0 in minutes.We have a long, long way to go yet. In order for the above things to happen(and they WILL happen, even if bitcoin gets cracked or made illegal- something else will replace Bitcoin), the market size of Bitcoin needs to increase.1. $50k - Early adopters will push it up($0.01->$0.20). 2. $1 million - People will start using it for small transactions(silk road). 3. $50 million - Small time illegal activity will flow through it, and people will start to use it to transfer money across borders(See; Argentina post recently). 4. $1 billion - Mid-level illegal transactions and mid-sized legal transactions will flow through it. Angel and VC Investors(200k - 5 million) will move in in increasing size will both invest and create startups(happening now; this is the step we are on. We will never go back to step 3 unless the Bitcoin network itself is cracked). 5. $25 billion - Higher level illegal transactions(mob bosses) and larger investors(multi-million sized) start to move in. Governments start to get involved, try to regulate what they can, and create rules for the system. High net worth individuals use it for international currency transfers. 6. $400 billion - After that, large businesses & investors move in. Becomes the de-facto standard for illegal activity. Government regulation cracks down and becomes more rigid. Some(A few) Bitcoin businesses are shut down by the Government without warning, prompting fear and anger. Small companies regularly use it for international currency transfers. 7. $1 trillion - After that, International currency movements start to flow through it. Very large investors move in, it is talked about as if it were standardized and common. Businesses learn to follow Government rules and procedures become standardized. Large businesses use it to transfer currencies internationally. 8. $5-20 trillion - Becomes the de-facto standard of international trade and currency evaluation, replacing the dollar as the global standard. Prices stabilize and shift only a fraction of a percent a day. Can now be used as a real currency for the first time since inception. Do I know for sure this will happen? Of course not. But the first 4 steps were pretty clear in hindsight. And it makes sense- Why would ANYONE use the dollar for international money transfer post-Bitcoin? It depreciates, it is expensive to move, it is heavily regulated and tracked, it is subject to seizure. It is subject to the whims and mistakes of one government, who are all subject to the whims of their short-sighted voters.So now how the fuck do you go from a $500 million currency to a $5 trillion currency? It isn’t going to be a linear graph- that doesn’t make any sense. It isn’t going to be a smooth rise- Why would it? If everyone can see a nice, smooth, pretty graph going up, everyone is going to buy into that nice, smooth, pretty graph. It isn’t going to be unidirectional- If the price always went up, everyone would buy into the up, and it would overshoot any and every step. It isn’t going to happen quickly- Many of these steps take time to build confidence and make mistakes to learn from.No, it is going to be a very painful up and down process. Because the technology has so much potential, it is going to experience explosive growth. Because it experiences explosive growth, it is going to have dramatic, painful, scary collapses. Then there will be fear. Then it will stabilize, and then it will start growing again. A few months later, it will explode again as it approaches the next big transition.It takes time for Bitcoin companies to get their systems in order. It takes time for them to earn our trust and for us to weed out the scams and unreliable ones. It takes time for VC and Angel investors to evaluate and plan Bitcoin ventures. It takes time for Bitcoin to adapt to its own growth.For those who think merchant adoption and currency status are the step we should be on, you are gravely mistaken. The only use that merchant adoption has right now is 1. Getting more people into it/increasing transactions, and 2. making a legal case for why Bitcoin shouldn’t be illegal(which would slow us down by 10-25 years).This is not the last big rise. This is not the last big crash. We aren’t even at the bottom of this one. Until the network either gets cracked or replaced, this is going to keep moving forward. There is no going back; We’ve improved the Gold coin, the Dollar, and the wire transfer all at once. Hang on to your seat, and stop panicking over just another crash.tl;dr: This is not the last big rise. This is not the last big crash. Stop panicking and focus on the long view.Credit to:/u/justsomebadadvicehttps://reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c5j46/you_people_are_seriously_not_thinking_clearly/ via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3KiWvm4

Never forget bitcoin is money everything else is just an asset

Money literally measures all assets and all wealth in a society. For every single thing that has value theres enough money to represent that value. All the value on earth has to fit inside 21 million coins.

Some other coins may be valuable for their smart contract applications monkey jpegs and ICOs. Some coins may be valuable for their meme appeal. Some coins may be valuable for their utility in cloud computing or data storage capabilities. But they are all just assets like microsoft stock, their coins represent demand for their platforms use just like microsoft stock represents demand for microsofts use. But bitcoin is money, bitcoin measures and accounts for the value of all other coins. Not only does bitcoin account for the value of all other coins it also accounts for the value of all stocks, bonds, realestate and commodities on earth.

So while one coin might reach a trillion dollar market cap up there with microsoft, another might reach a 500 billion dollar market cap up there with tencent, bitcoin is money so bitcoin is the one that has the potential to reach a price that represents all the value on planet earth because its core function is money, its function is to be the reference currency and reserve currency of planet earth for all countries corporations and individuals.

This means bitcoins target market cap isnt one trillion like some other software platform coins, it is $100 trillion at least possibly even one quadrillion. Thats a target of between $5 million and $50 million per coin in todays dollars not accounting for future inflation caused by collapsing fiat currencies.

Bitcoin is in an absolute league of its own and it has no competition when you understand the necessary prerequisite properties for something to become money.

Stop investing in Bitcoin. Start Saving and Living in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin was created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto with a specific goal in mind: to take the control of money out of the hands of the state.

Bitcoin aims to give you back the power over money.

In fact, Bitcoin is not just another investment as some people still believe. Bitcoin is a monetary revolution that you must fully embrace to change your life for the better.

This means you need to stop investing in Bitcoin, and instead, see Bitcoin as the best savings technology available to you. Save the fruits of your labor in Bitcoin and live within the Bitcoin standard.

This means looking for a way to get paid in Bitcoin if possible.

This may seem excessive to some living in the Western world, but what is happening today in emerging countries like Lebanon (look at protesters furious having not access to their own savings. The value of the Lebanese pound has dropped by more than 98% since 2019), Nigeria (the government tries to impose its eNaira), and Argentina (hyperinflation is the norm for decades) shows you what is in store if you don't embrace the Bitcoin revolution before it's too late.

Too late? Unfortunately yes, because today in Nigeria we can see the difference between those who had anticipated the collapse of the current system and those who now see their governments and banks doing everything to censor them from switching to Bitcoin.

Of course, it's never too late to do the right thing and you don't need the banks' permission to switch to Bitcoin. However, once governments impose their CBDCs via their central banks and cash is practically history, your options for converting the fruits of your labor into Bitcoin will be much more limited.

You will be stuck in the debt-based fiat system.

For these reasons, I think it is essential to protect the fruits of your labor while it is still possible. To do this, there is only one thing to do: stop investing in Bitcoin, and start saving and living in Bitcoin.

It will make a big difference in your future life because it will totally change your current expectations about Bitcoin's price and your time horizon. You will understand that there is no need to wait for dips to buy Bitcoin, and there is no need to be stressed about the price of Bitcoin in the short term.

Bitcoin is your peaceful weapon to exit the debt-based fiat system that is flawed and not fixable. It's up to you to use this weapon fully to protect your future.

Help me counteract my confirmation bias. If possible.

I am currently researching and educating myself on bitcoin through books, podcasts and Reddit… I’ve learned a lot from guys like Andreas Antonopoulos, Saifedean Ammous, Anthony Pompliano, Michael Saylor, Jason Lowery etc. However I feel like I jumped into the rabbit hole with a lot of confirmation bias, and therefore everything i’ve come across is obviously pro bitcoin.

So my question is, are there any well respected, well educated, intelligent thinkers out there who are against the concept of bitcoin, and explain why in a persuasive, coherent manner? I basically want to make sure I have looked at any worthy opposing views before putting my keys in the bowl. Not my private keys of course.

If not, then recommendations for any other guys or gals I should be checking out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

My family laughed out loud at me on Thanksgiving of 2019 when I told them I was all in on $BTC…

I remember it vividly when I was sitting at Thanksgiving dinner in 2019 (18 years old at the time) talking to my cousin and told him I was finally a “whole-coiner” which he had zero understanding of. I then went on to tell him that it meant I had my first whole Bitcoin and that I intended to get many more. My aunt overheard and starting chatting with the other adults at the table (my mom and dad, grandparents, and other two sets of aunts and uncles) before asking me why I wasn’t just buying up all the monopoly money, at which most of the adults laughed. I remember feeling so embarrassed and like they would never understand. They proceed to playfully harass me over it and say how foolish of an idea it even was. My whole family is quite successful and have been so in the most traditional routes (doctors, engineers, lawyers, bankers) and the thought of BTC to them was like lighting your money on fire, and they made sure that I knew whatever money I put into BTC would be worth nothing. After that day I questioned everything and was on the verge of selling my BTC and walking away. It was all the money I had to my name. I was driving doordash after class every day and on the weekends in high school for the last couple of years to get that BTC and now I felt like a fool. After talking myself “off the ledge” I realized that I was not wrong… they were. And I continued to HODL and accumulate. I come back here today to proudly share that I have just completed a major milestone in BTC balance (not today IRS 😉) and have never sold a penny. My average cost is somewhere around $14k (hard to estimate because my job pays me in BTC) and as a 22 year old I STILL keep 95% of my net worth in BTC. I will never bring this back up to my family because it’s not about being wrong or right, it’s about being able to understand it altogether. My new goal has been set and I will keep accumulating, along with onboarding every person that I get the chance to.

I know many of you have similar stories and probably from far before adoption was at the level it was in 2019 but this was my biggest test in the BTC game… and today I am prouder than ever that I passed it.

At what point will the exchange rate of BTC-USD be thought of in sats?

Does anyone else feel non-bitcoiners would feel more inclined to buy when then can buy 100,000 sats for $21?

Yes I know they can do the math to work that out rn but we're talking about experienced btc enthusiasts.

I actually ask venders if they take BTC just so I can do my bit.

I feel like if I get venders to consider it then we've gained another transaction to the cause. Some times its about reaching those that aren't fully grasping it.

You are free to do WHATEVER YOU WANT with your money and the state has NO BUSINESS interfering with this fundamental right

This is one of Bitcoin's main value proposition.Your money is your money and you can do whatever you want with it. Same goes with any other of your private property, for example your TV or your coffee table. If you want to exchange your bottle of water for an apple with someone else, who is anyone to say that you can't?You might be wondering...What if you want to do something illegal with your money? For example: hiring a hitman to kill an innocent person?Then this is how it should be:You hire a hitman. Someone finds out. You get punished (you go to jail or you get killed in revenge by a victim's family member).This is how it should NOT be:You ask the state permission to spend your money. You demonstrate to the state with paperwork that you're not going to use this money for illegal purposes. Then you go ahead and hire the hitman anyway using cash or any other method.See the difference?Let me give you another example:Imagine the state wants to reduce rape cases. In order to do that, they pass a bill stating that going forward every time two persons want to engage in a sexual relationship they need to fill out a government form stating that they both consent to this act. If you have sex without filling out this form, you're commiting a crime.Do you see how ridiculous this is?This is exactly what they do with your money whenever you want to send a wire transfer of $20k to someone else. You need to "ask permission" first.Please stop simping for the governmet to make bitcoin legal tender. The entire point of bitcoin is that we don't need government's permission to use our money. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3xhg2eZ
