Topic: A weird interview (Read 500 times)

While reconnecting with loved ones is undeniably important, the situation isn't always black and white. The observation about individual priorities is insightful.  The value someone places on financial security can be a significant factor in their post-incarceration goals.  Imagine someone who invested heavily in Bitcoin and sees it as their key to a fresh start.

The counterpoint about the necessity of family support to access assets is valid.  Rebuilding trust and communication with loved ones might be crucial in regaining control of one's finances.  Imagine a scenario where an individual needs their family's help to access their Bitcoin holdings. The first steps after incarceration are likely to involve a mix of priorities.  Reconnecting with loved ones is crucial, but financial concerns and the desire to rebuild one's life shouldn't be completely disregarded.

The concern about users being locked out of their Bitcoin due to changes in import methods is valid.  Imagine a scenario where someone with older keys loses access to their funds due to software updates.  Preserving access to older data is crucial for maintaining trust in the system.

The point about the potential frustration for users who invested in Bitcoin and might face access issues in the future is insightful.  Unforeseen changes to core functionalities can create confusion and inconvenience.  Imagine someone being unable to access their Bitcoin after a long period due to software updates.

The observation about some users' habits of checking Bitcoin prices regularly is interesting.  For many, it's a form of investment monitoring.  Imagine the frustration of being unable to access this information, especially if it's a significant aspect of someone's financial strategy.

In the 2019/2020 period in my country there were 2 to 3 cryptocurrency and Bitcoin influencers who have been jailed on various charges and had some of their assets confiscated. However, he remains relaxed even though his sentence is more than 10 years because he is sure that when he gets out his assets will still be safe in Bitcoin and will not be touched by anyone. I just need to ask a lot, whether the authorities, in this case the police, have not confiscated all his assets, including Bitcoin. Because based on the confiscated evidence, cars, gold, houses, apartments and other facilities have been collected as evidence, including his wife's property.

In your opinion, given the long term, where and to whom do we entrust Bitcoin assets for storage? Is there anyone you can really trust? or memorize the seeds of recovery and be taken to prison? I'll forget, etc. Therefore, I just want to determine the most effective way to store seeds while still in prison. Who out there is truly responsible for nurturing the seeds of recovery?

Probably because a more common response (not going to say normal; who defines what is and what isn't?) would be to call your family, wife, husband, or someone closely related to you anyway. Don't expect too much from someone who's unfamiliar with the concept of cryptocurrencies to fathom your passion, I'm not sure if that would be the first thing I'd do, but I'd surely be wondering, especially if I had over 1 Bitcoin.
Any particular reasoning on why this is going to happen, or was it simply announced with no particular explanation provided? The Github you quoted is from 2020, almost 4 years have already passed, is there any chance that it's not actually going to be implemented?

Intriguing questions and interviews......!
For me, 10 years is not a long time, it only takes two presidential elections. If I were isolated by turning off the internet, of course I would answer like you.
First: I will buy a laptop and visit my assets in my wallet/crypto exchange, my focus is on Bitcoin, because in ten years there have been two halvings and two new ATHs, Can I get capital to start my new life after ending my time in prison?
Second: I will visit this forum, because I have good friends here from various countries, of course I will greet them in my old typical way when I was still here.
That's what I need to check out and visit when I have the freedom to live again in the wide world/outside.

Family, for me we will meet automatically, without needing the internet, once we are released from prison of course the one who picks us up is the family, so that's what I would answer if the interview was addressed to me personally.

To be honest, that answer does sound a bit weird for someone who might not know anything about Bitcoin.  Besides, a normal person would probably say that they would meet their family first and then do other necessary stuff.

A pro-Bitcoin holder would probably have the answer in mind that you have given to the interviewer and one would even keep thinking about such things while they are imprisoned, they might even ask people who visit them about updates regarding the market and stuff, lol. 

The price of Bitcoin in a decade from now would probably be pretty high considering there will be more than 2 bull runs within that period.

If I had a lot of Bitcoin that could be worth a fortune before I went to prison and I had no access to the internet in prison, the first thing I would look at when I got out is to find out how much my investments are worth. I believe a lot of people would check that too. Where your treasure is, is where your mind would be.

I believe you were also moderate with the price. There are people that would have said the price of Bitcoin would be 300 to 500 thousand dollars. I also believe the price of bitcoin in 10 years won't be above 300k but I hope it's higher than that.

Mate you joking, yeah maybe trying not to show too much optimism about bitcoin, 10 years from now bitcoin should be on a race to 1 million dollars or at least more than 500k.

I think this interview has showed how much you believe in bitcoin, not everyone would check their bitcoin first, but if you have a good stash then I guess that's what you woudl be thinking about.

I think she never gotten that response before. If my freedom was taken from me for a decade, the first thing that I’m doing when I get out is going to see my family. I believe the hope of seeing your family again is the only thing that can keep you going in prison. My bitcoin hodlings will be the last thing on my mind. Ten years is a long time and a lot must have happened, birthdays, anniversaries and moments I can never get back. Spending quality time with my loved ones will be my biggest concern.

You should consider changing your username to “The Punisher”

Interesting, not sure if you really faced this question or if it's just your imagination. I will likely do the same thing when I regain my freedom. I have been holding some cryptocurrency, and I must check to see what the current price is after 10 years. Likely it will be better; you can't sell it when you were out of the Internet for 10 years. And you may discover your investment becomes worth a couple of X. However, I still don't expect such punishments that will keep me disconnected from the world and the Internet. 

Interviews like this are just too common and sometimes the questions sound too weird especially if you're new to such questions like for example, I have never thought of such question and my answer will be channeled to what I love most, categorizing the answer seems complicated but if  I'm choosing bitcoin I should have this in the back of my mind   during my 10 years without the internet I  never had any chance to accumulate more so my first thought will be how far have I gone accumulating bitcoin or else I'm just in a hurry to find out how far has bitcoin gone but definitely I have the assurance that bitcoin will still exist cause we can't just invest without trusting the investment.

Your passion for Bitcoin might've seemed a bit odd when you brought it up in the interview.  But I don't actually think its that weird to wonder about Bitcoin's future potential.  A lot can change in 10 years! I just think innovations like blockchain and digital currencies are fascinating.  Even if Bitcoin doesn't replace traditional money, the technology behind it could still transform finance and business one day. Just imagine, ten years ago Bitcoin was unheard of by most people, used only by a handful of enthusiasts.

And who knows - maybe one day checking a currency's value will be as routine as checking the weather, or we won't have to check it at all.

They don't understand what we understand and experience for being an investor of Bitcoin. We've been holding it for years and that's the magic where they will have a hard time understanding why we're like that. They have to see it from themselves why we're up like that.

Banks are good as money keepers and will only distribute little from the portion they earn from our money. Yes, compared to Bitcoin, it's better to have our wealth in bitcoin and profits are incomparable.

Some folks bitcoin it. Losers, honestly. Bitcoin aint just hype. Its the future, built on brilliant technology, limited supply - the best supply. You think traditional money systems are perfect? Wrong. Inflation, debts, all that mess... Bitcoin's different. It's a winner.

Now, is it gonna hit $100K? $300K? Absolutely. Look at the history. Bitcoin ain't some weakling. It's survived everything thrown at it. People are waking up, realizing traditional finance isn so safe. Thats where Bitcoin shines - its the smart move.

Projecting those values, its not just belief, folks. Its about understanding how the world's changing. Scarcity, tech that works, people wanting something BETTER... Bitcoin delivers. The world's moving fast, and Bitcoin's leading the charge. Doubting it? Thats like betting against progress, against innovation. Thats the kind of thinking that loses.

Maybe he just know the bitcoin by its name but doesn't know the real potential of bitcoin that's why she find it weird that you lose bitcoin despite of its negative publicity displayed from somewhere part of social media or even on the mainstream.

But if she knows why you are excited to look up for the current price and you have something balance left way back before when you are free especially if that's a lot of balance floating inside your wallet for sure she will get surprised how big the possible profit you get if the bitcoin price goes up which is expected to happen in future, 5 years there's a lot of things to happen and for sure there are also good events comes at that time that can help bitcoin to get more demands.

Left with me, if I must respond the interviewer that way talking about bitcoin, I'll let her know that there are some Privacies about bitcoin which I'd love to observe if they're really intact and integrified as bitcoin could be and so, she would ask what that could mean then I'll let the interviewer know that as it implies privacy just so how it's.
I wouldn't want to reveal it just as I'd have to maintain that privacy mode.
Right there the interviewer would outline how smart ful confidential you can be to their company in the sense that any information about the company and its operations gathered or otherwise obtained by an employee in the course of employment is worth to be treated with the strictest confidentiality and shall not be utilized or exposed elsewhere except for the purpose in furtherance to delivery of the services for which you're being employed for .

Let's note that interviewers can be smart and are psychological in summarizing your response to them on a template of finding how useful you can be to the company.
And moreso, you might be furthered questioned based on what your responses are.

Since the interviewer happened to be a bitcoin lover, I believe she'd ask if I invested in the bitcoin? There I'd tell her no but I was considering to do so before I was impressioned but I'm interested to know the price of bitcoin first my released from the prison there I could have a guess figure of what my bitcoin investment value would had been in the past 10 years of my being in the prison probably I may have made great profits out of it.
Sometimes the interviewer knows when you're being trickish and trying to hide something from them but technically they knows what you're up to.
So, your confidential response at times during an interview can actually secure you chances to gain the job.

Just my perspective as well. There's no correlation between both. Checking the BTC price wouldn't mean you love your family less. The information about would definitely be they are older, maybe new ones you wouldn't know and some that must have died.

What then will you do if you discover that I don't even own any fraction of it?

Very frustrating indeed.
About Franky1 concern of Devs, I think any new development will likely be backward compatible for atleast one decade.

I will bite my ***k if I get to know that you don't own a full Bitcoin just like John McAfee said if Bitcoin price doesn't get to $1M(rest in peace man, Bitcoin community misses you).

Well, you really love Bitcoin that much but I think the lady is right though from my on opinion. Honestly, 10 years is not 1 year and just to remind you, 1 year contain 12 months and to say that we se 1 months like a year in crypto space, I think the first thing I will do when I get out of a prison is to see my lovely family, I can't do without my family because they are the last I will want to abandon and then get lock up for 10 years.

If you have spoke to another person that is a Bitcoin maximalist, they would have understood but ladies are emotional and would definitely see your answer as weird. Even a common person that has not use Bitcoin will see your answer as been weird my friend.

Make sure you have access to your wallet, many OGs lost their access when Bitcoin price is really high, so it would be frustrating to see Bitcoin price surge high and you didn't own it anymore.

We're in capitalist world, that's why money is the most important thing.

If you have money, anyone want to stay close with you and you can do everything.
If you don't have money, your wife might ask for break up since she already find rich man.

Love Bitcoin but after losing ten years of freedom, it'll be one of the last things on my immediate mind. Soon, eventually, I'd hope, if I had any coin, that it'd be worth a lot and help fund my degeneracy for the remaining years of my life. But I'd be thinking of more... primordial interests on my first taste of freedom.

Particular food, yes. Flesh, very yes.

What do you people all mean about Bitcoin price or family? They waited ten years for you, they can wait a few days more.

Of course, I would be curious about the bitcoin price when I finally gained back my freedom and that will be some of the questions I would like to ask and search for myself. We have been following the crypto market for years right now and I'm sure most of us are already making bitcoins part of our lives and he rarely misses checking its current price almost every day. Looks like by that time, we are sure that the price already exceeded 100k+ based on its current movement and throughout the years it has increased its price, especially after the bitcoin halving season.

If I were to be asked and interviewed, first things first, I would definitely talk about my family. Imagine the length of time that you all won't be together, maybe this is a common answer I thought of but if it's about financial matters, like what you answered, that's one of the first things I'll ask or look for, especially if you're anxious to know how the market or your investment is doing and that's normal, I don't see it as a weird answer, maybe it really depends on the person's background what his answer to the question will be.

If you can come out of the dark prison after 10 years, surely it will be two halvings from the present time when you will see the light of the sun with Bitcoin. And Bitcoin will definitely exist, and you'll notice the halvings of the past. The price of Bitcoin in the year before the halving is two to three times higher during the bull run the year after the halving. Which we proved in 2020 halving 2021, now 2024 is the year of holding bitcoin halving bitcoin price, bitcoin price double 73 2× of course 150k+ is very likely. 2028 halving bitcoin price must be between (300k -350k). And bitcoin halving in 2032 is highly likely to take place between bitcoin price (600k-700k).

I think @franky1 refer to Bitcoin Core software, not Bitcoin protocol, CMIIW. But just like Bitcoin Core never support BIP 39 even though it's supported by most wallet, i expect there'll be few wallet which still support importing private key/seed which generate legacy address in the future.

Of course bitcoin will still be around in the next 10years, with the look of things,I think there will still be a massive increase in the value in the next 10years, though is very hard to predict the future because a lot of things can change in the next 10years even most of this coin can even have the potential to increase to the current value of bitcoin in the next 10years. we can't really predict what will happen then, but is obvious that a lot of changes will occur in the next 10years.

     When it comes to bitcoin, and in that interview, it also seems to make sense because even if it is assumed that he will be imprisoned for 10 years, he is still thinking more about the long-term holdings of bitcoin within 10 years. At least at that point, somehow, when he was released, he still had wealth that had a small value before; suddenly, the value was high after his release after a decade.

     Which for me is a good decision, even though he doesn't have a 100% idea if the value of Bitcoin will really increase after the passage of time. The interview was good, and there was actually a lesson.

believe in you mate and yes you are right that those people don't know about Bitcoin or let say that they Don't invest Bitcoin then one thing for sure they will not agree with us that Bitcoin will give us a bright future. Anyways we don't need their decision because we are all know what are the best thing to do if we have Bitcoin on hold. If we put our money into the bank still we have a profit but not just big like Bitcoin that it almost hit triple or even 10x  of the buying price.

Yes, you made the right step and I will say your answer is absolutely right yes it looks funny but you did what was so important to you which is knowing the current state of Bitcoin first of all you should also secure your wallet and make sure all is right that is true then Bitcoin will definitely hit 100k to 300k or even more by 10 years time, I’m seeing a very big opportunity in the next 10 years all bitcoin holder that has bitcoin between 5 to 10 btc in their wallet will Automatically become a millionaire in the next 5 to 10 years intervals, it may look so close but I don’t see it not happening because of my knowledge and the little research I have done, must of the robotic machine will only understand the language bitcoin, and they will pay attention to it more than fiat it is possible by then.

I don't see anything weird with this answer because that's what I'll do too if I had invested into any assets before I was imprisoned. It doesn't matter if it was Bitcoin, gold or any digital assets that I know had potential and had invested into them. The answer is only sounding weird to the interviewer because she's still under the brainwashed people that the government still have control over that Bitcoin is a scam and not worthy of their investment so they can remain under the control of the government. She's a cooperate worker so I'm not surprised that she sees the answer as weird. People with investment mentality won't find that answer weird.


Why is she behaving like 10 years is 100 years. 10 years is just a decade away and many of us here will still be around so it's not a long time and Bitcoin will obviously be around in the next 10 years. 10 years is just 2/3 presidential elections away, just 2/3 halving away so it's not that a long time. Alot can happen in 10 and I'm not in doubt of that but Bitcoin can survive 10 years and will be having a much more better adoption than it currently has. For the price of Bitcoin, I can't give an exact figure but one thing we can have in mind is the price currently won't be the price in the next 10 years. Bitcoin will be trading at a more high price and would have added another zero or more to the price.

For me I will first of all go to the bathroom and shower, then eat a good food, ask for my family and friends, sleep for sometime and cool off my experience in the prison before I could even ask for my mobile phone or checking after Bitcoin price.

And moreover checking bitcoin price is optional, the only reason that will make me to check on bitcoin price is if I had invested in bitcoin before I was imprisoned. That will only be my motivation because if I check the price and yet I didn't have some bulks there it will make me feel sad for not have invested in it earlier. Because by then the price would have surge so high.

For a person imprisoned, what they want most is to be free and to return to their loved ones. You answer that you need bitcoin because you have never been in that situation and furthermore, bitcoin is more on your mind than anything else right now. But if you are truly imprisoned, you will realize what you need most. Just like many people always say they don't need love, they don't need anything but money, but when they are close to death they regret it but it's too late. Only when we are in that situation do we really know what we need at that time.

It's weird for those outside of the bitcoin circle so forgive that interviewer saying that to you, I'm sure that he/she doesn't know any better, another reason why I think that interviewer said that your answer is weird is because they don't know how to deal with it or how to make it so that they're not being stupid so that's their only response. Another reason I can think of is a bit scummy on their side which is that they don't like the answer and they're biased and expected you to answer the question with something mundane like get together with your family or celebrate your freedom or anything like that, probably wanted to put their answers in your mouth but they can't because they'd sound biased if they force it.

That's why we all have different views and also different priorities. If OP's priority is its assets, then so be it. That's what he wants. It may be odd because he doesn't think about his family or friends prices, but we can't blame him. That's how important Bitcoij is to him. But if I am in that situation and I also have bitcoin holdings, of course the first thing is my family because how can I access my things without them? and I'm sure the first thing that will wait for you is your family, so I think that is the most appropriate answer, but again, we have different opinions and priorities, even if it is weird or odd to other people, but for that individual, that is his top priority, and we can't argue with that. This is a free space, so we can share what's on our minds, even if it is weird.

Obviously what I would do on regain of my freedom and that’s if, I couldn’t manage to smuggle a phone or access some by some prison methods or during visiting hours. Still, I would go for it when am out.

Something I feel underestimated though, given the fact that 10years is so long a time, I wouldn’t expect such slow growth for Bitcoin. I don’t see the price to hit its bench mark about $300k, I hope to see it above half a million and that is no exaggeration.

I think this has got to be the challenge that would befall just anyone to have not been around for a long time. Technology continues to be on a fast pace towards how portability, smart and best ways to do the very same things. A lot code change in a decade as developers are never relenting to bringing upgrades to what has been but, I’ll like to think that, importation of wallets would be around still, as it’s been for over a decade.

Sounds like an interesting interview, is there a link to watch this interview?

For those who do not know much about Bitcoin, it would be crazy for them that the first thing you do after leaving prison after ten years is to request a mobile phone or computer and the Internet to check the price of Bitcoin. Of course, they will not understand such things if they have not tried them themselves.

For Bitcoin lovers and traders this becomes like an addiction or obsession as they spend most of their time even during the night monitoring the prices and signals.

@OP, the answer to the question looks weird to people who are not familiar with cryptocurrency investment or have not invested to any investment venture at all.  For investors it is especially for Bitcoin investors, it is normal to ask for internet to know about his investments, the status and price changes, and whether his investment take a profit.  I am sure he won't be asking to meet his family since his family will normally visit him in his imprisonment time.

Bitcoin is over 10 years now so it is not surprising the Bitcoin will still exist after a decade unless the government suppresses Bitcoin which is highly unlikely.


This is the thing that comes to my mind.  The interviewer is not familiar with cryptocurrency specifically Bitcoin.  She probably heard about Bitcoin but she is not into it to know that there are people who are into Bitcoin so much that its market is always the first thing on their mind when they wake up.

10 year is a long time for a lot of developments to set in, In that case it's just to hand over the wallet to a trusted  confidant, there must be someone we can entrust it to  to ensure that the lack of legacy keep import doesn't void you from profiting from your bitcoin after serving your time. Better to risk it to some family member custody of the wallet than  risking knowing that you're coming out penniless.

Well, I must admit I find your priorities a bit weird too.  Though Bitcoin's future in the next decade remains unpredictable, the urge to immediately check its price after years of incarceration strikes me as rather odd. 

Priorities, my friend, priorities.  Surely reuniting with family and friends, enjoying long-missed freedoms and comforts would take precedence?  But hey, to each their own! I guess checking Bitcoin price could feel pretty liberating too.

Perhaps it should sound weird to alot of people, of course not every one knows the importance of bitcoin and how big it would be in future, so you choosing to know the current price of bitcoin when you eventually get out from the prison shows that bitcoin is the true freedom.

Maybe the interviewer doesn't not know much about bitcoin but from your response he/she would like to make more research on bitcoin, in 10 years bitcoin will experience two cycle which means it should be not les than 200k in price.
One big fact about your response shows a very big hope in bitcoin and that will surely encourage people to hold and keep buying more bitcoin.

She has no knowledge on the real benefits that bitcoins have, that I why she was surprised at your answer. we from this forum are not surprised.

The interviewer gave you an opportunity to really convince some listeners on your opinion on Bitcoin and it is good that you took your chance. it may feel like a small effort but because of your conviction there are some listeners who are potential investors on the fence and battling the decision to invest or not, they may become convinced that they should buy Bitcoin because of your strong believe in it.

People who are not invested in Bitcoin will always find it weird why we love Bitcoin so much. I guess that the best explanation is that they also will find themselves weird if they find their fortune and money in the bank, that's basically the easiest comparison and logical explanation for them as to why we're different from those who don't own BTC yet. Someday, they're going to understand why it seems to look crazy for them on how's our approach with Bitcoin but then, they'll realize that when someone has a belief and invested a lot of money and time in it, they'll find it weird as well when they've totally understood everything and why we're like this.

Well am not surprised why the interviewer called your response weird, but I guess it might have brighten the room and also put curiosity in many other people there. But if am to answer this from my own perspective then I think the first thought that would play on ma head is actually the whereabouts of my family then secondly what's the update of anything that would probably fetch me money and that's when Bitcoin comes in play.

Somebody was recently watching Old Boy?

The better question is what will you do during that 10 years. Will you be alone? 10 years of being alone without any outside communication and nobody to talk to is more than enough to go insane, like the main character in Cast Away.

I'd be focused on staying in shape and not giving up so that when it's eventually over I can take my revenge. If there was no way of knowing time and how long I have left before the end of the sentence, I'd probably go crazy within a year or two.

Let's say that I theoretically survive and come out, I'd probably try to know where my family is and then try to find whoever did that to me. If this was the government, I'd probably become a hardened criminal out of hate and resentment because fuck them.

You will only go straight to request a phone and laptop if you already had some Bitcoin in your cold storage before you were imprisoned, but when you don't have any Bitcoin that you have been holding for that time period since you were imprisoned, then what's the need to go straight up to check for the Bitcoin price? 

Your reply is kind of wired to me too (but if you have Bitcoin, it's normal),because no matter how much love you have for something, unless you still have that thing in your passion, you will not think of it to the extent of going for it first when you receive freedom after a long year in the dark. 

Take, for instance, someone who had a billion tons of gold buried in a place where no one knew about it, and perhaps something happened and the person was put in the dark for 10 or 20 years. We can agree that it's normal behavior for the person to go straight to where he buried his gold the very moment he regains freedom. So, @OP, before you can act according to the reply you gave, that means you must have had so much Bitcoin in your wallet before being imprisoned. 

If I were in such a situation and I had Bitcoin in my wallet, then I might go straight to check the price, but if I don't have any Bitcoin, I will go find my family.This is just my opinion. 

If the interviewer had asked me but this is my version of the answer.

My answer - Like others said family is more important, then will ask how many bitcoins were owned then with the current estimate.
Second answer - For 10 years there is no news what became big during those 10 years, it feels happy to see bitcoin has been above $500K.

It's not weird the interviewer is the weird one it's a common reaction to those who don't have much knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto.
If the interviewer is a Bitcoin enthusiast expect a different reaction.

For now, even though Bitcoin is popular there are still many people who do not know the history of Bitcoin the only thing they know it's a digital currency that can be traded for money or they call it alternative money.

Hmm I guess you were actually trying to be funny though   who actually doesn't like a touch of fun in such situations to help lighten and spice up the moment. Anyways the fact is every Hodler will definitely do just some will definitely call their family first while some will check Bitcoin price first just like you mentioned. Anyways leaving family for 10 years although it's sounds more like an abstract question but the impact is very high and I bet you a majority of hodlers will want to pull up nice after the long lost time.

If you come to think of it, just like Upgrade00 mentioned, your coins should have experienced 2 halvings of which the profit from such long term hodling would have been huge. After checking prices. I guess the next thing to do is to check making sure all offline backups are in place because losing them would be the greatest nightmare.

I am sure Bitcoin will still be around for more than a century and the price you have stated is achievable. Checking the price of might be my first move after I have finished enjoying the atmosphere of freedom if I don't have access to a phone during my incarceration. Your answer might look weird to non-Bitcoiners but it is not strange to people around here.


Except you were kept in a secluded prison, your loved ones will always visit you in prison, so you might not need to ask after them because you already know how they are. Some inmates even own phones in prison which they use to contact family members.

WHO.. well kinda difficult to say... i call HIM andrew but HE wants to call HIMSELF Ava.. lets both just call HIM a narcissist(gender neutral) before HE cries and sets out more moderation killing of users(cancel culture) that dont agree with his mind and personality of how he wants to change things that the rest of the community should not have to blindly follow..
reminder HE is not god, though HE wants to be.. or a goddess.. who knows

though he wants people wrapped round his finger and control relationships and act like a p*$$y, playing a victim/little girl if anyone questions him, HE hasnt actually got a p*$$y so, he is still a he

anyway for reference to HIS game plan:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/20160

I think it's a wonderful answer to a hypothetical question. To me, I'd first google the map of my own country (because we're currently, unfortunately, at war for our existence, so I'd need to know how it went), but sure, I guess the second thing would be to check BTC price because that's something that can truly change drastically over 10 years. The interviewer clearly didn't know what she was talking about because assuming that Bitcoin would be worth the same in a decade as it's worth now doesn't make much sense.

i don't think it's weird. while most lunatics will ask for porn magazines, a crypto investor most likely will want to know BTC price. but seeing you have been forbidden to go to the internet for whatever reason, i guess it would make sense to just watch the news inside. a TV would be great. i'm sure they allow prisoners to watch the news.

by 10 years BTC will be mainstream, they'd sure flash prices like the forex rates.

franky1 said only an irritating narcissist .

While in prison I could always as the warder for the price of bitcoin. Assuming I keep up with a good behaviour. I do not need to wait until I am out of prison to know the price. My best thought is that out of 10 warders, one will be a bitcoin supporter.

The real deal is being able to assess your assets if the technology changes with the period of you doing time there.

For a more casual reply it will certainly be one’s loved ones except if they see you often in the prison, it will be a bit awkward coming out and straight to one’s phone for bitcoin price.

As for what will be the price in the next 10 years which from today is 3 halving away. I will say the ATH by then will be more than $400k although with the recent ETF impact a bit, I expect more adoption which to me should reduce volatility if not o will have gone for a value like $600k. $150k in this coming halving, Atleast a x2 to it in the 2028 halving to make it $300k and then another x2 in 2032 halving to make it $600k.


Typoo i think you meant to write 10 years

Well I am sure bitcoin will still exist in 10 years time but I’m not too sure if bitcoin will be my first thought if I could re-gain access to an internet and a computer after a long decade. I would want to know how my family and my friends are doing first and foremost. Your answer isn’t weird but it is a little unexpected I might say.


It’s unexpected because you were denied access of internet and anything technological related stuff of course checking btc price right now isn’t weird because you are living your normal life but checking the price after being basically isolated may imply that all you care and love in life is money

Thats insane. The seed will be useless in that case. who the hell would allow importing methods to be removed?
So checking the Bitcoin price in prison will be useless. He sure would be hoping to have millions of money after 10 years in prison but finding out he can't import means he is penniless.

Its not weird to ask access to the internet to check the BTC price. Some of us just wake up in the middle of the night just to check BTC price.

be prepared core devs are already trying to remove legacy key functionality within core. which other wallet that follow core code usually then follow.. so if you disappeared for a decade, expect a headache trying to get wallets of the future from even understanding old key import methods

yep they have for last few years been preparing to remove legacy key import methods and pretend there will be a separate migration tool (easier to just keep it in core.. but core devs dont care for whats best for users) but funnily enough although preparing to remove legacy key import from core, the irritating narcissist pushing to remove it has not actually built the "separate migration tool" he pretends would be the "promise of backward compatibility"

so be prepared if they are removing legacy soon, expect they will remove other things later..

If the police looks crocked. I am out..

I will want to know the whereabouts of my family and loved ones and double check if my back ups are still intact, but checking the price will certainly be up there, probably do that on the ride back home.

10 years is 2 Bitcoin halvings away, and even if we are in a bear period at that time, it should not go lower than the ones of the last 2 halvings, i.e, the next halving. I will put the price between $300-500k.

I was recently interviewed on air. The interviewer described my answer to her question as weird. During the interview, something led to the other and I was asked thus;
The interviewer: If you are eventually imprisoned and denied access to internet and communication for 10 year, on regaining freedom what's the first thing you will do?
My answer: I will ask for a mobile phone or a laptop to check the Bitcoin price
She exclaimed that it is weird that I love bitcoin that much. She proceeded to ask if I am sure bitcoin will still be around in 10yrs time and what value will it have.
My answer: Things change alot, 5 years is alot for many things to happen let alone 10 years. However, I believe bitcoin will be around and it might worth between 100k to 300k dollars.
