Topic: Don't only pray for mass adoption, start HODLING!! (Read 412 times)

Regret is always at the end on which people would really be having those kind of regret on the time that they would really be making out such missed opportunities on which we know that not all would really be having that kind of thinking on the time that everything is quiet and calm on which they dont really pay up some attention but rather they would really be just focusing into other things which it doesnt really bring any potential value or benefit in the future.Until, they would be hearing it one day that it did really increase its price and then this is where they would really banging up their heads and telling silently into their minds that they should have bought when its still cheap.

We should put up into our minds that outcomes and results would really be definitely be basing up into the decisions that we do have made in life and on the things that we've been doing back before.
If you do have plans on trying out to enhance yourself when it comes to financial status and freedom then it is really just that right that you should really be working that hard
so that you would really be able to achieve it and wont really be ending up on a disaster and keeps on regretting just because you had missed that opportunity wayback.

That's very correct, it's all like a circle of balance that's need to be implaced, the two parties needs to be active in buying, selling and also holding to keep the whole ecosystem stable. It's just like the demand and supply chain, the two needs to be there for things to go smoothly. And that's why the people that transact with Bitcoin daily and those that hold are all of great importance for the survival and for Bitcoin staying at the top of the market rate .

After 15 years of bitcoin, do you think there are only a few bitcoin enthusiasts? At this time in the world, there are many bitcoin fanatics, but it can be said that it is still not enough to say that everyone knows Bitcoin, and the majority are still negative thinkers on Bitcoin because they still think it is a scam, even though it really isn't.

Although we hope that all people around the world will recognize and realize in the future the beauty and opportunity that bitcoin can provide to everyone who believes in it, even in cryptocurrency,.

I wouldn't compare Blackrock with the early Bitcoin developers and holders and the reasons they got involved in this technology. Early adopters wanted an alternative, so they created a currency that anyone can use without requesting permission of a third party. Blackrock is an investment company. It's a cold-hearted business strategy to get involved with Bitcoin. They don't care about it nor will they be holders. They are trying to acquire more USD with a business that is booming. If they could profit more from destroying Bitcoin, believe me that they would try.

Why is this looking like a Newspaper?    Next time, you should summarize your message without writing an episode or you can break it into paragraph so that viewers will have it interesting to read and they can quote where they want to reply without quoting the entire text you submitted.

You can't force people to do what they don't want to do, even if you shout from now to tomorrow, believe not everyone will buy bitcoin. Some of them are shouting Bitcoin adoption so that their altcoins bags can squeeze in for the normal rally of bullrun, that's the only reason some want this adoption so badly. Some of them don't even care if bitcoin grow in value and then fall again, as long as their bags are pumping, then they are good to go.

You can also tell people to buy which they could do as you say but growth might not come as you expected because they don't have what it take to move Bitcoin price. In as much individual effort can push a mountain, I think we need people that have this money to adopt Bitcoin so that we can see this growth massively, the are the one can do it with huge demand.

Because they don't have a lot of financial resources, people decide to use the DCA pattern to invest regularly and only in this way can people add to their portfolio of bitcoin assets. It's different when people have the ability to accumulate large amounts at once and it might be much easier for them to add to their portfolio in a short time at much cheaper accumulation conditions. But when it comes to not having many opportunities, people have to take advantage of the existing potential and DCA is the easiest way to continue collecting regularly.

The problem lies not in the amount of accumulation but rather how someone can take advantage of opportunities and perhaps the method taken can be adjusted to each individual's abilities. This part needs to be taken because when opportunities exist but are not utilized then we lose everything.

At some point, I am beginning to get tired of telling people when to buy bitcoin and how much percentage of bitcoin they should buy on the go, bitcoin at the moment is the most suitable and accurate investment if one want to take advantage of the present future market conditions, most especially when the bitcoin halven cycle happens, majority of the newbies may tend to miss this chance due to their fear to go all in when the opportunity present itself just like this time that bitcoin is relatively at a discount price even though the price ia not at it low atage right now.

Instead of getting distracted with all the hype around altcoins, it better to concentrate on bitcoin and try to accumulate whatever amount we can at a regular basis so as not to over burden our investment inflow which surpose to be our free cash flow or leftover funds.

We are the front row in this Bitcoin journey and I believe as members of this forum we should not just be people who are more active talking than in our actions. For all forum members who have been here for a long time, It is expected to have some amount of Bitcoins in Hodling because of how important it is. Hodling bitcoins is difficult for some people because they do not have a good stable source of income, fix this, by getting more source of income by maybe increase your services, or trying out another business.

This is the featured sermon this week where the narrative about how much bitcoin you have is the conclusion of the many discussions described above. You don't need to reveal the amount of bitcoin holdings to other people because investments are confidential between ourselves, bitcoin has a growing adoption rate and now many people may have held a certain amount of bitcoin. Although it is not comprehensive for the level of adoption per individual worldwide in terms of approaches with bitcoin.

Praying for something without doing anything is also a lie because we are told to try and be accompanied by prayer in doing it. If today we haven't taken part in investing in Bitcoin, then when will we be able to see that Bitcoin can provide something truly extraordinary? Make a decision now and make purchases according to the money you have because I am sure we will face the next ATH in the future.

The best time to start is now because time does not wait for anyone land since the price of bitcoin is increasing and we all know  where the market is heading to, it is important to start hodling and never to Procrastinate. It feels so regrettable when one misses the opportunity of not hodling Bitcoin. Since the price of bitcoin increases with time, it is important too to always consult time and value time because when it is gone you can't get it back. To me or those who haven't buy bitcoin to hodl and they are still confused if it is the right time to buy  bitcoin.  I don't think buying bitcoin to hodl now is a wrong decisions,  buying to hodl is good because the market price will go beyond this price.

At this time people just need to buy with amount they can afford to lose, and not to invest with a greedy mindset to get all the profits or to make money quick from bitcoin.

You said my mind as well, it is all about investment, and this is not one kind investment from the heavens, but just like any other asset, you buy, you sell, you HODL if you want, or do otherwise as you please. All that matters is for you to get fully informed about Bitcoin, you can then do it as you like, there is no compulsion here as some would make it look. Like me, I have my own plans for my Bitcoin, there are some that I will continue to HODL, maybe 25-30% of my entire coin, but in 2025, about 70% of it will be liquidated, that is the gist, others could have their own plans, but mustn't be to HODL forever, flexibility is needed all the time.

It is even wise to liquidate it at a high price and repurchase it at a low price, which I see as a smart investment plan. Such people that will be HODLing it forever will not be able to do that, and without any controversy, that is the smartest way I know in trading and investment and will help people that do that in a matter of years to have made multiples of what the HODLers would have made. Isn't that smartness judging by the bearish and bullish seasons that Bitcoin is popular with?

"Start" is an understatement, people should already have some bitcoin that they are holding at this point and if they are not, they are a little late. But you know the saying, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, second best time is now, so I do agree that people should start holding some right now. I get that it's not going to be all that easy, and I get that we are not going to get anything major, but we should be considering the situation to grow as much as we can.

I understand that we are not going to be all that crazy, and we should be considering the deal to get better. Just buy as much as you can afford to lose, and hold it as long as possible to make this money, it will definitely good for you without a doubt.

There are people who do not own any fractions of bitcoin, but they are damn happy when bitcoin price increases;
There are people who do not own any fractions of Bitcoin, but they are happy when anyone wins a bitcoin suit against the government;
There are people who do not own any fractions of Bitcoin, but they know much about Bitcoin.
There are people who do not own any fractions of bitcoin, but they are praying for global adoption

As of OP, HODLING is not the purpose Satoshi created bitcoin, rather he made bitcoin for it to be a currency and not an investment assets. So, HODLING shouldn't be the ultimate of bitcoin. I would love and praise a bitcoiner who bough a car with bitcoin rather than the other who is HODLING 5BTC

Congratulations if you have invested in Bitcoin with your $10. You can continue to buy Bitcoin regularly using the DCA method. That method gives opportunities to people who don't have a lot of money. And as they have done, you can also have a lot of Bitcoin if you also buy Bitcoin regularly.

Starting to buy more satoshis and holding them is better to do before things change. And let it be if there are still people who don't believe in Bitcoin. They will only be sorry to see that we can profit from Bitcoin. This adoption process will continue and be even better than before. More and more people and companies will buy Bitcoin too.

Those who still refuse to invest in Bitcoin, citing many reasons, will not be able to get the benefits. They will only continue to argue that they are not ready to start investing in Bitcoin. It's best to just leave people like that alone and better focus on our investment in Bitcoin. We show them the changes we get by investing in Bitcoin and let them see for themselves.

Perhaps we are waiting for a final correction before the halving, or maybe not, no one can answer this question for sure, but I agree that a real bullrun should begin this year, perhaps in the fall. But if someone still doesn’t have Bitcoin in their portfolio and is waiting for some miracle that Bitcoin will go to 10k, then I’m not sure that this will happen, and if something like that happens (not necessarily before the price of 10k), then act It will be needed very quickly, and I’m also not sure whether at this moment they will give someone the opportunity to buy something.

Many Bitcoin fans will miss that part, even those here who've heard us preach "buy, accumulate and hodl". It will feel like a nightmare to these ones when bull rally begins. That moment is almost here upon us. It's looking like nothing much will happen in price of Bitcoin now but just wait and see what happens a few months down the line. Only those who've positioned themselves will feel the glorious moment, and not those who FOMO it but don't have any. It will be a sad experience for anyone here who won't hodl when the time comes. No one needs to hold 1 BTC if they can't afford it but just make sure to hodl a bit of it. Who knows, this halving might be the last time Bitcoin will have a geometric leap as that might change once there's regulation.

It is believe that believe in bitcoin that will go extra miles to make sure that they buy and hodli bitcoin, and it is not everyone that will adopt bitcoin. This is because some people don't like it, because it is not from the government and they believe that it will fail someday. It is members of this forum that can make that decision for themselves either to buy and sell when they have little profit or buy and hodli for a very long time. Everyone that has bitcoin here have their own reason why they bought bitcoin. I doesn't really mean that everyone that have bitcoin must hodli. I still believe bitcoin will not be able to replace fiat like you stated in your thread because of it volatile nature a d it is not from the government. If you want to buy bitcoin and hold, then you must have your emergency funds and reserve funds for your monthly expenses. Anyone without these will not be a good holder.

We still need both ways: circulation and holding. The former one keeps the liquidity pool active and there is enough volume for us to work with daily transactions. This could be from exchanging Bitcoins to selling or buying them directly on an exchanger or from peer. The later one is needed so that there will be resistance pressure building everywhere. You see the game of financials run with these two parameters. If not then ecosystem of Bitcoin can crumble real bad. Imagine if no one is holding then Bitcoin being publicly active might just not become resistant due to its high volatility. So at some point we need that pressure for sure. If they are holding then thats good. If they are transacting then its better too.

I don't know what coins your definition of shitcoin includes, but if you want to say that all altcoins are shitcoins and trash then I would disagree. I completely agree that bitcoin is the best coin we have, but stubbornly investing only in bitcoin while ignoring many potential altcoins is not necessarily a good thing when it comes to profits. I don't know what the future will be for altcoins like ETH, BNB, SOL, DOGE...but they brought me huge profits many years ago and I believe they will continue to bring great profits significantly higher than bitcoin during next bull run. We should have the majority of bitcoin in our portfolio but it would be a waste not to have any potential altcoins.

I think that it is to anticipate that if there are some forms of negative actions from the governments, there are also the positive ones like this Bitcoin spot ETF. As for the mass adoption, it is happening but we just have to calm down and don't rush on the actual effect of it. It is going to be gradually be seen within the next months or even a year but by that time, it's with the effect of halving too.

Well, that's one problem but we've got that problem even before but it is going to be good sometime in the nearest future. What we can be happy is that we've survived the times that when there have been a lot of FUDs that were in the media, the highest transaction fees and right now, we're starting to see some drop from it.

most long-term holders certainly have expectations that mass-adoption of bitcoin will occur in the future, but the strict regulation of bitcoin by the government and with the launch of the bitcoin etf which is an alternative investment in bitcoin, it seems that mass adoption of bitcoin will take more time to come true. especially the issue of fees and networks which are often congested, these things hinder the mass adoption of bitcoin in the future and make long-term holders need to be patient to get the profits they want.

Two reasons why I don't tell anyone that I have bitcoin.

1. I don't want people tell me that I am bragging or flexing my asset to them since people might give us bad impression and call us arrogant.

2. Don't want other people know that I have bitcoin for security reason since I don't want to attract bad elements that can harm me.

For now we don't need mass adoption since at current situation we can still earn and its up to us on how we deal with bitcoin market and profitability in thus industry will all matter depends on the efforts we exert.

Of course your prayers don't work if you just sit there and relax. You need to spend your time and effort to achieve it. Since I came back here on this forum I learned from my mistakes in the past and then realize that hodling Bitcoin and having much patience will surely give us benefits in the future. I am now hodling my weekly Bitcoin rewards from signature campaigns as my long term investment and I am happy with it.

If someone knows about Bitcoin and doesn't know about this forum, why would that be a problem? I found this forum when I was searching for terms related to Bitcoin, so if you search for "bitcoin forum" you will get exactly this forum as the first result in the search results, but even if you are not looking for a forum but only "bitcoin" there is a high probability that you will find link to this forum on another link.

By the way, try to edit the posts you quote, because it really doesn't make sense to reply to one sentence and quote two or three posts.

I own Bitcoin but I don't tell anyone. And I hold them and I pray that Bitcoin will stay long (or even forever) in order to give opportunities to others who haven't yet seen the potential of Bitcoin.

We don't need mass adoption OP but what we need is market understanding and trust as it was far to become realistic and consider Bitcoin as another form of currency when people do not understand its purpose. Buy, Hold, and Use - that is the thing we should have to do. Adoption becomes too easy when all of us understand how Bitcoin works.

Still, many are into Bitcoin and this is a Bitcoin forum although it is true that there are a lot of investors and holders that are into altcoins. But they know for a fact that if Bitcoin moves properly, their alts are also going to follow so it's a domino effect.

Yes, that's what the end goal is for most of the long term holders. It is no longer a secret that in the long run, we're going to see higher price of Bitcoin and that's why it is the thought that many likes to see happen even before. The mass adoption will drive the prices up as the demand is going to keep up with it as well. Whether some people like it or not, mass adoption is one the key contributors for Bitcoin's massive growth.

I believe that majority of people in the cryptospace are here for profits, no wonder why there are still people who choose to risk on shitcoins that are proven to be trash and unsustainable, it is just because the profit potential they can get holding or trading it is much much better than holding bitcoin. It's their money and life, we can't do anything about their investment. The best thing we can do when they somehow failed is to help them recover and educate them well on things that they should be doing.

I don't think there is anyone on this forum who doesn't want to own and hold bitcoin. Everyone knows about its value and potential, and I bet you no one hates money. People who join the signature campaign and spend bitcoin every week just because circumstances force them to do it because not everyone has an easy life like you or me. There are many things in life that take priority over investing and holding bitcoin, and many people are struggling out there. Don't rush to criticize those who cannot hold bitcoin because we are not in their situation, we don't know what they are going through.

That's a very long post to read mate and you have bring all your thoughts and beliefs about Bitcoin so salute about that one and better to continue your legacy introducing bitcoin to people.

HODLING must be started by everyone who is in here in forum , many are just reading thread and planning to purchase but never engage their money inside this coin.

Also another thing is that Mass adoption will only happen if we starts making it possible by buying now and hold till then.

What if people hold their Bitcoin in their wallet and never use them? I guess I have seen such a post and wrote about it somewhere too. If everyone starts holding and never spending their Bitcoin where it's available, how are you helping the adoption? To help the adoption, you have to use their Bitcoin payment method gateway so other companies start to accept Bitcoin.

Let's say a couple of companies adopted bitcoin but there are no users to pay using Bitcoin, what is the benefit then? They need Bitcoin users to spend Bitcoin, Right? If you expect massive adoption, you have to help them by paying in Bitcoin. 

People who previously never believed in Bitcoin started learning about Bitcoin as the industry grew. The approval of the Bitcoin ETF increasingly invites retail investors who have been closed to Bitcoin to study Bitcoin because based on their understanding Bitcoin can help improve their economy in the future.
Information spread in print, electronic and social media will change their views on Bitcoin. Bitcoin enthusiasts do not need to bother reminding or inviting them to join this industry because their awareness of Bitcoin will encourage them to learn something related to Bitcoin because it is starting to be considered a very profitable investment.

True because if you really a believer in Bitcoin and a supporter, holding or non-holding is already enough, it does not matter. As long as you know how Bitcoin works, you know what is good benefits of it and you are sharing your knowledge about Bitcoin or spreading goods words of Bitcoin to other people, it's already enough for me for supporting Bitcoin.

Mass adoption doesn't mean buying BTC and HODLing. Mass adoption means people and companies using BTC for payments every day.
I'm sure that most of the forum members are BTC HODLers so your forum post is kinda pointless. Go somewhere online, where there are plenty of people, who aren't aware about Bitcoin and start preaching there. Maybe you will gain a few Bitcoin newbies here and there.
I guess that you are butthurt because the BTC price isn't going after the Bitcoin ETF approval. Don't get too obsessed with the Bitcoin price.
It's normal for the BTC price to go up and down.

Ofcourse everyone who uses that must probably hold some. Its not just only for mass adoption but to increase one's portfolio by holding it. Some people hold bitcoin due to its investment form and thats mostly the users are aiming to ean from it. Id do hope there some solutions on transaction fees that hinders the potential of mass adoption. Well its a fact, that if high fees will continue like this most users will shift to other low fees since other establishment also used or accept other crypto aside from bitcoin.

To become a Bitcoin enthusiast, you don't need to own Bitcoin, the most important thing is how you can understand Bitcoin and the blockchain in it, because there are several reasons why someone can be interested in Bitcoin but doesn't want to be a holder of it, whether for financial or other reasons. You can't say that someone shouldn't talk too much about Bitcoin just because he doesn't have Bitcoin, it's true that it would be better for him to invest in Bitcoin first to be able to experience it firsthand, but that doesn't mean that other than Bitcoin holders can't discuss about it, because there are no rules prohibiting it.

Exactly! , but we can understand why many investors or crypto currency holders choose not to hold bitcoin or do bitcoin investments. Because of its current price, it's hard for those newbies. When you do a survey among those new to crypto investment, most of them are into altcoins or different coins, but they stay away from bitcoin.
Even though we have a DCA strategy for newbies or holders that can't buy a whole bitcoin, it's still hard for them as they are afraid if their investment will earn or not. But as you said, bitcoin is long-term, and that mindset is hard for those newbies in crypto currency investment. That's why they will abandon the long term and think of how to earn for their daily needs. But cheers for those who're already thinking ahead. I hope they will not regret their choices or regret that they didn't take the risk and start investing in bitcoin, which has proven its potential over the years.

It won't get to that point as long as there's still a government and that the masses don't unite towards this common goal and those things will be an impossibility as long as we don't destroy the current civilization. There's already enough market movement for bitcoin in my opinion so I don't think that the problem is that, hundreds of millions are traded daily across the crypto platform and exchanges, that's why I think that and at the same time it's also worth mentioning that we can only go up in terms of bitcoin adoption so there's nothing that you have to worry about that part, as an individual, what we need to worry about is where to get the money that we're going to need to accumulate as much right now that the market movement isn't signifying that it's a bull run just a start of the bull run.

That title makes no sense, only those who hold for long term wants and pray for mass adoption, many people on this forum don't care about Bitcoin, some are so into altcoin because they believe that they won't be able to make profit from holding Bitcoin anymore.

Some people don't even plan to buy any Bitcoin, they are here to participate in signature campaign and they use the money for something else, whether Bitcoin goes up or down they don't care, they want their weekly payment and they are good.

Only long term holders the want mass adoption, if you plan to retire holding Bitcoin won't you want mass adoption to increase greatly? By the time your retirement starts you will wish to look at your crypto portfolio and laugh like a king, isn't that the dream?

That's it , people keep talking about bitcoin here and there actually even in this forum there
are lots of talk that we need to Buy and hold bitcoin but ask them how much bitcoin they owned for
 sure their answers are just fake because the truth is they even choose to buy and hold shitcoins t
han bitcoin because they do believe in easy money than a working proress.

Buy bitcoin now and thank us later guys , be a HODL even with small amount to start with.

Profound but I'm telling you that people that are talking about mass adoption are long term bitcoin hodlers so they know what they're about when it comes to mass adoption and there's no way that someone's believable if they're not fully into it in the first place right? I wouldn't want a revolutionary talking about bitcoin or cryptocurrency being liberating against the oppressive financial institutions when they don't have any bitcoins in their name, that's hypocritical and goes to show where you really stand and what you are as a person.

In as much as we all want Bitcoin to be adopted in the whole world, it should be more realistic to know that Bitcoin may never be accepted globally. Bitcoin in so many developing countries who have showed interest in it has proven to the world, the essence of making Bitcoin legally acceptable. Still, some countries has proven stubborn either because they are scared of Bitcoin increasing the rate of scam in their country or they don't want something they are unable to control or manipulate just like the fiat currency. For sure, as the rate of adoption of Bitcoin is increasing, so are the numbers of investors and an increase in the number of investors flooding the market, will give an equal rise in the value of Bitcoin.  

Holding onto Bitcoin is a common strategy for long term investors aiming for profits. Despite fluctuations, the potential for Bitcoin to surpass expectations suggests it's wise for investors to hold and prepare for a future with significantly higher Bitcoin values. While selling some coins may be necessary, being able to replace them or hold for the long run is advisable.

  Money can’t buy you happiness. But right now, a little fiat can buy you some big, heavy bags of certain alts. Whether or not that makes you happy is up to you. Investing in cryptocurrency in general is a good business if you are on the right path and with the right platform. As much as possible you should try to look at the big picture when assessing the future of different coins a full year from now. My approach is first to consider what types or groups of coins hold potential for adoption in the near future. For example, I think privacy coins are a solid bet for future uptake. Another group of coins worth looking at are those involved in the integration of social media and blockchain technology. Such bridging projects — projects bridging conventional technology with blockchain and cryptocurrency — will be an important driver for blockchain adoption in the near future.
   This is a risky game, and you only have to spend 30 seconds looking at a bitcoin chart to see the wild swings that have occurred in the last few years. This is a game not for the weak of heart and fortunes have been lost or made very quickly. You need to understand the risks before you get in this game, and I would recommend you do over 100 hours research before diving in the deep end.
  

Good to know about this and congratulations on your successful first step, I hope you know also how to keep safe your Bitcoin while preparing for the next bullrun.  I don't know if the DCA method of purchasing Bitcoin still works since we noticed Bitcoin continuously rising the price but I think this needs to have proper market monitoring.  Just make sure that you cover the fees before purchasing Bitcoin, also it's ideal to purchase Bitcoin if the transaction doesn't have much traffic that results from high fees.

As you can see right at this moment while posting this there's a huge fee, it's a $6 fee so you will receive $4 into your wallet if you purchase worth $10.

If you go ahead back several years ago, you'll keep hearing people talking about mass adoption and that's what we need to see a higher price of Bitcoin. Today, there are people that want to see it reversed because for what sake? We can complain on many things but even if we do so, we don't have control over these things and mass adoption is inevitable just as how Bitcoin's price is going to rise up. You can compare what you're saying with a coin that has a very limited supply and there's no adoption so where the value goes?

This is the first time I’m hearing the term “Bitcoin talker”. Did you just come up with that? People who come here do so because they are interested in bitcoin, I don’t think there is any member of bitcointalk that doesn’t have bitcoin savings.
Oh so this is another “I bought my first bitcoin announcement thread”. You could have saved us all the trouble by making it simple and short.

Honestly, I don't think we'll ever get to a point where the entire world's value is in Bitcoin. That would not only mean that Bitcoin is the only currency, but also that there are no other assets, no other valuable things, technologies, services, etc. I think that's impossible because there's always diversity, and some things that are of practical, if not symbolic, value (like basic foods or medicine).
Also, hodling kind of counts as adoption, but if you think about it, it's not much of a contribution without any active use of Bitcoin being involved. Without movement, Bitcoin doesn't have liquidity, and without liquidity, it doesn't have value.

Well to good extent people here are Bitcoin enthusiast but there are still some here for what ever reason especially to earn from bounty or signature campaign, so not everyone here is an enthusiast or a user of Bitcoin.
Also holding is not the only feature of Bitcoin enthusiasm, there people here only for the short term investment goal, and if you ask them about Bitcoin they may tell you it's going to fade off in future.
Everyone has their believe in Bitcoin regardless if they are here on the forum or actually have some Bitcoin in their possession.

Bitcoin does not have a shortage of holders now, anyone who holds benefits more from the network than it benefits from them. And anyone who doesn't hold due to a lack of trust in the network or wishing it gets cheaper than it is, so they can buy at the bottom will wish they had bought earlier in the future.

Everyone buys in at the price that they deserve.

Anyone who contributed actively to this forum is a part of the Bitcoin ecosystem and benefits the network through their efforts.

In my street I am the only one who knows about this forum, I did this research a while ago.
But many of them know about bitcoin, don't really know if they are holding or doing transactions with it

I like your encouragement that we should shun procrastination and invest in the Bitcoin sector if we have the means. I have seen many people who have the means of investing but they keep procrastinating because they want to buy Bitcoin at a cheaper rate. Most of them have missed the opportunity to buy at a cheap rate because the price never got to their target. However, everybody is free to make investment decisions that suit them. But I will always use every available resource to keep buying because Bitcoin has great potential in the future.

How were you able to know that you are the only one who has knowledge about Bitcoin in your neighbourhood? Did you carry out some research to ascertain this fact? Many Bitcoiners prefer to maintain their privacy, so they might not publicise that they own or deal with Bitcoin. It is not everybody who knows about Bitcoin will invest in or hodl Bitcoin. Some people use Bitcoin for payment of goods and services. I am not sure that anyone who has an interest in Bitcoin will not take advantage of its benefits. Bitcoin has proved to be a profitable investment platform, hence all Bitcoiners would like to make a profit from it.    

That figure shows the total number of registered users, and the question is how many of that number are unique users. Statistics say that only 3848 users were active in the last 7 days, and even here it should be taken into account that this number contains a certain number of known and unknown alts.

I think that the forum is visited by a certain number of users as guests, and that they do not necessarily own Bitcoin, and what about all those who are exclusively focused on altcoins and bounty campaigns?

There is some certain thing that we supposed to ignore and some certain things that we are not supposed to talk about concerning cryptocurrency investment and the cryptocurrency holding especially Bitcoin, many people do hold their Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency based on what they have in mind and what is the future plan that is why they hold to their Bitcoin

So it's not everybody that hold Bitcoin or altcoin will come out and start looking for someone to inform to escalate the kind of cryptocurrency or the kind of Bitcoin is holding on his portfolio so everybody cannot start to campaign to kind of amount of bitcoin is holding, I have a brother that his name is called evidence and he has almost five BTC I'm nobody he has told of his crypto life it is just of recent that I know what is Bitcoin that he explained to me and he told me how someone can invest in Bitcoin so without him telling me of total amount of BTC that is in his position I wouldn't have known

Right away I think that the many people have like up to 50 bitcoin 100 Bitcoin but nobody knows about them and they cannot come out and start telling people the amount of BTC the house I think it's secretive life is very important to us because of security purposes even though I have 10,000 BTC I cannot come out and air it out to the public

I can say that the classes of persons who may be willing to invest in Bitcoin today is divided into those who have studied the market for long and are waiting for the halving to happen before they start investing/ HODLing, versus those who have been old investors and have some HODLings, but is waiting for the halving to happen before either buy more BTC or trade some of it during the bull market season after the halving.

Which ever class of investors we have these days, one point to note is that anyone who has interest in BTC or wants to HoDL BTC should have been aware of the halving, and how it might affect the market during this period.
Mass adoption isn't just the aim of BTC right now, it is of the aim to also educate and inform potential investors or users of the best time and seasons to take hold of opportunities that could make one a millionaire.

Thats true in my street alone I guess I'm the only one that knows bitcointalk. But what I am saying is simple why would you be so intrested in mass adoption without having any bitcoin, if bitcoin value increases what does it mean to you as a bitcoin enthusiast. How do you express faith in bitcoin if not by participating and i mean hodling. I can also assure you that not everyone on this forum that talks about bitcoin mass adoption has an investment portfolio or even trades bitcoin. If your not in then why talk about it ?

Why need to hold? there are so many users keep complaining if Bitcoin is no longer a currency, shame to see Bitcoin mostly used as a commodity etc etc.

You're wrong, in this forum there are only 3,587,196 users while the world population is around 8.1 Billion people. Those people who don't have Bitcoin doesn't join in this forum, I won't be surprised if you ask do they know about bitcointalk.org to ten strangers in your country, there's no one say he know about this forum.

Everyone here is a Bitcoin Enthusiast however that doesn't simply make them Bitcoin investor or HODLer. One can have interest in something and they won't be financially invested into that for sure. That's the same case with Bitcoin. People will buy Bitcoin and may sell however HODLing is difficult. Not every Bitcoin Enthusiast can HODL. And they might need to see a full 4 year cycle in front of their eyes before they believe in HODL.

Is there any way you are monitoring total users who holds bitcoin over here?
If Yes then how do you know some people are just talking without even holding and practicing the hodl we all preached about over here because to me i know that there is people who don't usually come to announce what exact amount they have acquired for you know that people are really practicing the hodl and not just praying for the max adoptions instead are secretly buying large volume of bitcoin to prepare themselves for the future. Of course there are people who don't still have the knowledge that investment of 10$ today could worth something very big when bitcoin becomes very scarce and the demand will be high as then, so the best is to hold not just for bull run but holding for decades.

Certainly everyone is hoping for a time when bitcoin would achieve total mass adoption and utility. With every news concerning development of new technologies in the blockchain and bitcoin gaining ground in the world, even now big companies like Blackrock have now gained interest in bitcoin. Meaning that the big players have now seen the same glimpse of light that we saw in bitcoin either as a real valued asset or as a good replacement to fait currency and centralization. And I think that everyone is so hooked up on the next big news of mass adoption without even knowing that this news would only favour one set of bitcoin enthusiast the "hodlers". If I'm not mistaken the total supply of bitcoin cannot exceed a max of 21 million btc, which means that they can only be 21 million whole BTC for the entire world to compete for, this strategy is good because scarcity determines value, but as a bitcoin enthusiast you should also be worried and cautions not to be a mere viewer or commentator of bitcoin history. Just imagine all the total supply of BTC has been mined out even If not all maybe up to 98% of BTC how many of that amount would be in your wallet. Incase you don't know with every news of mass adoption bitcoin continues to gain ground and as many people continue to invest in btc it also adds value, and this would continue to a point where the entire world value is now beign put in bitcoin(this is just a possibility I see) and possibly the billionaires of the next generation would be those with the highest amount of bitcoin in their wallets, and in that same time people would struggle to get even scraps of bitcoin maybe 0.00001 bitcoin a simple satoshi that might even worth a thousand dollars, if you haven't thought so, I think you should start believing that bitcoin really has such potential.

The reason I'm writing this post is to urge everyone and to remind everyone why we are really bitcoin enthusiast. There is no point in praying and speaking about mass adoption if you are not hodling bitcoin, because this same event that would bring huge success to some would also be a catastrophic event to others. And what I mean by catastrophic is the huge regret they are going to face not taking action towards acquiring bitcoin. I know many persons have a million excuses why they haven't started their bitcoin journey yet. But why would you be in this forum and still have such excuses, why are u interested in bitcoins latest news and not acquiring some for yourself?, how do you claim to have faith in bitcoin and not show your faith by taking steps to aquire bitcoin?. What I'm saying i simple don't just be a bitcoin talker also be a bitcoin holder, don't have a the information about bitcoin and there is none in your wallet, stop preaching bitcoin when you don't really believe in it cause if you did then u would have some.
Let every bitcoin enthusiast change their mindset today and join the winning side the bitcoin hodlers.
As for me I was once a bitcoin talker but right now I've taken my stand amongst the hodlers. I've taken my first step to aquire my first 10$ worth of bitcoin, I'm not earning much but I plan to consistently invest in Bitcoin so incase bitcoin enters its next phase of bull run, I would also run with it. Don't procrastinate this year. Start Hodling.

I'm not saying anyone should go on start telling people about how much bitcoin they have accumulated, all I'm saying is start your own bitcoin journey if you haven't, stop praying for good things when your not planning on beign a partaker
