Interesting mate,every educated person needs to know and be informed about bitcoin because bitcoin is the real deal right now.Bitcoin is the mother of all cry pro currencies,it is not just a currency but a revolutionary and phenomenal money that functions without second thought or without interference;a currency without a government.
Bitcoin needs the internet and electricity to be used, so governments can shut these down in a dire or war like situation if they wish to and then you would not be able to use bitcoin. However the chances of such things happening is small.

Nah, they always have a choice. It is not that bitcoin is the final currency ever, fiat will always co-exist with bitcoin and even though fellow forum members might not like it, bitcoin is the less known and less accepted currency as compared to any fiat currency.

Of course in our forum here, we think we are god like after owning bitcoin, it is not so in the outside world. You need both fiat and crypto.

That happens in many countries. That is why we are advised to have investments in the form of crypto or gold. This is to anticipate the worst possibility that could happen in our country. By having investments, at least we can prepare ourselves and our families.

Investing in Bitcoin has provided clear evidence that Bitcoin is the best choice we have today. Even though there are still many people who still choose gold, we can also still choose Bitcoin as our main investment. A million dollars that we save in the bank won't be able to buy many things in the future. But a million dollars in bitcoin could have a higher price in the future.

For this reason, we have to prepare ourselves from now on before everything changes and we start too late.

  Bitcoin has been able to grow rapidly and gain more trust because it has solved problems that fait are unable to manage for us.There's a saying that the more problems you solve,the more money you get and so,that what bitcoin is.Bitcoin is an adventure,and its worth what people are willing to pay for.Even with the clash/crash,economical downturn and governmental intrusion.

Am sure that we will soon get to that stage where everyone will be having bitcoin just as the way the fiat currency is so common and available for everyone to have access with, making payments in bitcoin will be so easy and common, people would have been so used to it, life will be easier on men because they are having a volatile currency that they can spend and earn from as well, cryptocurrency will by then be the most recognized currency with dorminance in bitcoin.
Don't think that it's ever going to happen in our lifetime though and as long as there are uncontacted tribes and ethnic groups that are far from the modern civilization, it's never going to happen. Sure it's a good dream but think about it, a lot of people are already resisting the idea of bitcoin and a lot of them hasn't changed their stance even when we reached a new ATH, my guess is that we're either going to force this adoption or we let it seep through the cracks of our civilization and slowly taking root so we can never get it out of us. I don't believe that it's going to be the most dominant currency though, we've got US to fight with that one and I don't think that they're ever going to want the 1st place be taken away from them, let's just be happy with where we are right now, we will eventually go there so I don't think we need to be too hasty in this kind of thing.

I don't know about you guys, but for me, I have discovered that the longer one save in fiat, that is, hold fiat, the more life gets expensive, this is because fiat is known to lose value overtime for several reasons, when fiat loses value, they lose purchasing power, goods and services become more expensive, which in turn makes life more expensive.

This experience I coined from the current economic hardship my country is going through.
The naira lost significant value against some other major fiat currencies, most especially the dollar, this has made things in the country very expensive, which has also made life very expensive to live here in Nigeria.

But for those who have been saving investing, saving in bitcoin, and maybe some other major cryptocurrencies, life is cheaper as we all have seen that overtime, the price of bitcoin increases, and when this happens, major altcoins too experience the boom, thereby making good profit for those who spent fiat accumulating when the prices are low.

This is why I personally implore us all to be wise in how we choose to save our money,
Keep one million dollars in the bank for 10 years, by the time the 10 years is over, you pull out your one million and discover it can't buy much because things are no longer at the same price as they were 10 years ago.

But keep one million dollars in bitcoin for 10 years, by the end of the 10 years, one million dollars must have turned into 5 million dollars or more, and even if things have become more expensive in the market, this money will pay for it all and you will still have a lot of money left to do other things.

I completely agree with the importance of strategic savings and diversification. While inflation can erode the value of fiat currency over time, it's crucial to maintain a safety net of 3-6 months' worth of expenses in readily available liquid assets to avoid selling off investments at potentially unfavorable prices. Once this emergency fund is established, exploring investment opportunities in diverse asset classes like land, real estate, or cryptocurrencies becomes more viable. However, remember that all investments carry some degree of risk, and thorough research and understanding of each asset class are essential before committing your capital.

That's right, why saving or saving Bitcoin makes our lives cheaper in the future because the value or price of Bitcoin goes up every year, which is different from fiat, the value of fiat every year definitely goes down, that's why the price of necessities this year and the next 10 years is very different because there are inflation and fiat value decrease every year
The price of an article may go up but the acceptance of bitcoin to transact with has still remained a rock bottom, growing very slowly. You can be super-rich with bitcoins but no shop in your local accepts bitcoin, how will you go about spending it then?

So you need both fiat and crypto and an added advantage would be seamless conversion between the two which is a longshot dream of many members of the forum.

Keeping the hope that in future bitcoin will become huge and then you will start spending it, is a good one too. I would rather suggest spending on buying gift cards at times before that actually happens.

Life is indeed sweeter with bitcoin if we indeed know how to achieve this beauty in it, I've seen some some always complaining about bitcoin all because their level of understanding about it is very poor, we cannot be doing what is not safe and expected the best from it, some don't know how to maintain a perfect security measures, wallet to use or how to safely store their wallet private keys for their privacy, some might have been scammed as well for some reasons they permitted for that unknowingly to them, yet out of these countless diverse experience, bitcoin is still better than fiat if we understand how to make use of this decentralized digital currency for our privacy and security, including being profitable.

You're actually correct,bitcoin has really helped the economy in many aspects.Bitcoin has initially made our life easier and more satisfiable.In many situations where fait systems has disappointed and failed us,bitcoin has been able to recognize the challenge and tackled it for us.Countless times bitcoin seems like another alternative to fait systems despite that thier store of value varies.
 Bitcoin holds greater chances of becoming superior to all other cryptocurrencies.

I suggest it is better to store gold than money or crypto. The reason is simple, the value of gold does not change, even if it is sold in the future, despite any conditions, the price will increase and again there is nothing that undermines the value of gold from negative issues. This is what crypto does not have. So I will not keep crypto but make short-term passive income only.

Fiat depreciates, the 1 milion dollars that you saved from years ago, if you haven't invested it into anything like stocks or bonds, would be significantly more devalued than if it were to be invested into gold or any other asset instead. Which is why you feel like it has "made your life expensive" or something. When you invest your money, you don't necessarily make more money that way, you're only saving, or in some cases, hoping that the value of your money increases over time, which is what bitcoin specifically does.

Which is why I'm very deliberate when it comes to telling my peers and relatives about where to invest when they start asking me about it. We all have our own cups of tea and sometimes, no matter how great bitcoin is for us, it may not work for others. I just say look into what makes you more comfortable, and stick to that investment plan.

I couldn’t agree more. Bitcoin is a volatile asset but it’s a good way to hedge against inflation. Those living in developed nations may not feel the need for bitcoin savings because of the strength of their currency. But for my people, the rate at which the naira is falling is alarming, now you can buy a home appliance for less than $30 and in a few month the worth of that appliance is $60 or $70. People no sell second-hand goods at a higher price than what they originally paid for it. Liabilities are casually turning into assets.

I hope so but until that day comes we need to keep accumulating all the bitcoin that we can, I am not going to deny that the current growth we are experimenting took me by surprise, but at the same time I receive it with open arms as bitcoin has grown almost 200% since we reached the bottom during the first months of this year, so the progress bitcoin has demonstrated has been incredible, and now it seems more likely that a new all time high could be reached before the halving even takes place.

Entering at any price does not mean that the price target to be achieved will be higher.
How come? Isn't that how it works? If you have $2,000 and want to get $1,000 on top of that, you will need a 50% gain on your investment. If you buy Bitcoin when it's priced at $20k, you will need it to hit $30k to achieve your desired target. On the other hand, if Bitcoin is priced at $40k when you enter, it will have to reach $60k for you to have a 50% gain on your investment, and there is a big difference there. In the first instance, you would need it to go up just $10k, but in the second instance, it would need to gain $20k for you to reach your target.

So, the entry point does make a difference and one can either achieve their target early or late based on when they have entered the market because the price gained by the cryptocurrency after that will determine how early or late your profit target will be hit. This is the reason why it's always said that getting in early can be more profitable for an investor.

You are right that fiat will always decrease in value and inflation will increasingly make us buy more expensive goods in the future while our income does not increase by the same percentage as inflation.
Saving Bitcoin can be an option to fight inflation but what we have to remember is that it will only help if we save it for the long term and as long as we don't get any benefits from owning Bitcoin then we have to look for ways to get additional income so we won't sell Bitcoin with a small profit because urgent needs, because it is always an obstacle for those who have limited income and really want to get benefits from investing in Bitcoin.

Life is cheaper with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general
Just say life is cheaper with bitcoin. The clause of cryptocurrency at large that you included didn't go well with me. Some altcoins are shitty and involving them seems more like gambling. Altcoins can be worse than fiat. This is because fiat does not vanish, it retains its value, just that the purchasing power must have been tarnished by inflation. But in the case of some altcoins, they vanish into the tin air while a thousand new ones are created.

Bitcoin is a saviour, but the worse part of it is that many people are yet to realise. Bitcoin will save you from inflation and also promises to return investment for you.

Of course, holding onto paper money means reducing your net worth. The value of the dollar is constantly increasing in our country, due to the increase in the value of the dollar, the value of the local currency of our country is gradually decreasing. Before we used to spend 5 dollars in local currency to do the same work, now we need about 8 dollars in local currency to do the same, we are certainly affected by this aspect. If the dollar could have been purchased and held at a time when the value of the dollar was at a normal level, we would still have benefited financially. The value of the dollar in our country is increasing steadily and I am sure it will continue to increase in the future so it would be wiser for me to invest or buy dollars now rather than save the local currency. But instead of buying dollars I think it would be a good decision if I invest in Bitcoin right now because the price of Bitcoin is going up a lot and the price of Bitcoin is expected to go up even though I already have some Bitcoin investments.

Dollar isn't an investment, it's just a regular fiat like your Naira. The reason why it's having more value than Naira lies in the purchasing power. We are simply dealing with inflation everyday and the government has just kill switch subsidy to gasoline, the FX Market is now float by demand and supply, the central bank doesn't control it any more, that's why we are having economy set back. We are literally now in a new default mode of the economy is the reason why naira is fighting hard to stay strong.

The mistake many of us are doing is buying US dollar to keep thinking its an investment. In a real sense, it's has been far ahead of the Naira but doesn't mean it should be used as an investment because the dollar you are holding is nothing great if you take to US to spend, you might he surprised that inflation has eaten your 5 years dollar savings wouldn't be able to buy much.

I do agree that USD (and other currencies) is definitely not an investment, but I believe there are some people speculating on currencies, buying the currencies that they think will gain value, most of this are done within Forex Trading but I guess some people are also doing this activity outside of forex.

It is not too late for you to start saving in bitcoin,  this is even the best time to even save in bitcoin because right now the fiat has no good value,  the value this time is even worse than before.  So I think it will be a big waste to even even have savings in fiat. It feel so good we have bitcoin that will help to sustain the value of the money that we worked for.

Since we are entering into the bull season it will be profitable if people invest their saving in bitcoin instead leaving it in fiat which values always depreciate.
   If you decide to invest, think long-term. Avoid getting swayed by short-term price movements and the hype surrounding certain cryptocurrencies. Instead, focus on understanding the technology behind them and their real-world applications.
   Moreover, consider seeking advice from a financial advisor who has experience with cryptocurrencies. They can help you evaluate your financial goals and guide you through the complexities of this ever-changing market. investing in cryptocurrencies can be an exciting journey with the potential for substantial returns. However, it comes with its fair share of risks. Learn from the experiences of others, manage your risk wisely, and stay patient. Perhaps one day, you'll have your own inspiring crypto success story to share!

The approval of ETFs goes to show that BTC and crypto currency in general is gaining ground in every region where it is used and can't be controlled by government.
Even the government has seen how effective it is and have even laid claims to accuse the decentralized network of money laundering activities that are rather untraceable and beyond the knowledge of SEC regulators and policing agencies like the FBI.

The truth is that BTC is the future of money as well as AI intitiatives, electric cars, web3 and the virtual reality development ongoing. Life is sure cheaper when one has a control over their funds and would spend much charges or fees in making or completing transactions across borders.

But if you are already into this market, you will appreciate of learning this market and getting the benefits of investing into this.
Being late is just a relative term, but one can still join this market at any time of his convenience.
But not only as desired, but also because they see the profit opportunities that will be obtained from crypto investments that will be made.
Entering at any price does not mean that the price target to be achieved will be higher.

But it should be noted, not all crypto coins are good, only recommended ones such as Bitcoin,
ETH as the top altcoins and many more that have good potential in the future.
