Had been going through my old posts for the original but couldn't find it, so admittedly I stopped searching a bit prematurely and asked whether you had better storage management.. Did not expect you to create a brand new one especially during these days. Thank you Homer, best Christmas gift. Exactly as my avatar but more pixels 
.
At the time I requested the laser eyes because of expecting $100k soon. But then SBF and his cronies ruined the party, back to flippin' burgers it was. But the laser eyes are still focussed today on that magic number (even though it should probably be $125k today at a minimum due to inflation). Involuntary thinking about it for some years I decided I am keeping the laser eyes no matter the price. Bitcoin, with a capital B, is worth focussing on beyond the financial freedom it provides. So no need for a third edition, wearing it until it has holes in it!

I never bought into the lazer eyes meaning focused on $100k, because I hardly could give too many shits about those kinds of short-term and/or seemingly arbitrary price thresholds... .. and so my interpretation of the lazer eyes has been just a means of keeping our eyes on the prize... and many of us likely know what the prize happens to be... even if we might not completely agree upon how much diversification that we might need, if any.
Bought my first bitcoins around Christmas 10 years ago. I have many of you guys to thank for helping me hodl through all this time - sorry for not contributing.
Anyway - Merry Christmas and thanks once again!

all my friends.
10 years ago I didn't know what is bitcoin, you are maybe a billionaire.
Yes..
When in doubt, assume that Longtime lurker, aka zaap is a billionaire.. perhaps a satoshis billionaire.. It may or may not be true, but probably does not hurt to ask.. in order to test the OpSec of longtime lurker..
[edited out]
Unfortunately not. Just because someone knew about bitcoin 10 years ago does not guarantee that someone was able to acquire enough bitcoins and hold them through all ups and downs. It does require quite huge balls of steel to not sell or be influenced by people around you. I have more than most people around me, but that is quite easy.
We are still early.
Gosh. There are a lot of possibilities, there, and yeah in 10 years a lot can happen, including selling too many too soon, or getting distracted by shitcoiner and/or bitcoin naysaying talking points.
There's also some questions of security and/or good practices if you had engaged in any kinds of attempts to experiment and use bitcoin, and I will admit that it took me a bit of time to secure my own bitcoin, even though I had thought that I had some decent security for reasons that I am even a bit too embarrassed to admit, and even now, I know that there are some vulnerabilities in some of my current practices, and there is both reluctance to talk about such things, but also some reluctance to fix some of the vulnerabilities.
There were some transactions that I did recently too, and I was kind of wondering if I did them in a very secure and/or private kind of a way, and I am also having some dilemmas regarding what to tell people who are bitcoin newbies in regards to how to manage some of their coins, and how much obligations do we have to tell people things that we feel that we know, but then they also have obligations to do some of their own research too.
Thanks guys!
OOM, I thought about this too. Symptoms came very quickly, and soon after a couple of dinners with friends, so I also think it probably isn't COVID. I had an old COVID test kit at home, which had already expired (about 1 year past expiration). I did it nonetheless, and it came out negative.
Quite harsh indeed, high fever, shivers, cycling on/off between painkillers. Came in the most unfortunate of times...
Sounds like classic flu, yep. Shit can be tedious, but you can speed recovery up with NAC (2x500mg/d) and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, works as NAC metabolism catalyzer).OOM, I thought about this too.

I gave my last capsules of NAC to a friend of my father in law (60+ yo) after a two week flu episode, which had a holiday booked nine days later. He fully recovered before packing his suitcase. I only had NAC/AA once, after Covid (Omicron B1) and it helped much with shortbreathedness. Athletes are using it to increase O2 absorption of the lungs before training for events. One can take it for a month safely, but i never read of problems from those who took it longer.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot why i came online today
Merry Christmas!
(delayed, because of christmas eve offline challenge in my family)
I had kind of glossed over the NAC part too, but then it looks like it could be a good supplement to keep in mind.. .and with supplements, sometimes it can be difficult to know if they are doing anything (such as helping with anything), but I did like the idea of mucus clearing in one of the descriptions that I read.
>>>>"NAC can help prevent side effects caused by drug reactions and toxic chemicals, and helps break down mucus in the body. It seems to have benefits in treating some respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis and COPD."<<<<<

Well for me we are gonna see a start of a drip right now, but for a good thing, the Mxgox is starting to make payments to the creditors, so good for them and also for us because we start to expell one X from the equation (the weight of mxgox fund) . The fact they are paying in FIAT implies we are gonna see some sells to make that happen, so be ready for that.

NEWS:Billionaire Tim Draper says Bitcoin will hit $250,000 in 2024.
My body is ready

I'm sure that one day Tim Draper will be right, but as things stand so far he has not justified the status of a "prophet", considering that in 2014 he uttered the famous saying "1 BTC will be worth at least $10,000 in the next three years".
...and it did...exactly 3 years later, in 2017, lol
his other prediction of 250K in 2022 did not pan out, of course, and he admits to that.
In my opinion, anyone who predicts BOTH the timing and the price are not going to be successful, typically.
Check out the vid (@fillippone was most likely talking about T. Draper info from this one):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfOeVUbbx9Y
I watched it with interest because the contrast between bitcoin "guy" Draper and a s-tcoin "promoter" R. Pal (who invest most of his money in ONE coin
) could not be more clear. Draper also explains very well how VC funding works. The gal is easy on the eye too (for this older fella), haha.Nice video. It's definitely coming. There will always be noise (read: COVID, Ukraine, FTX, etc.) that causes deviations from the trend, but the trend is there, and always has been. I think we will see 6 digits by 2025. Exact figures like $250,000 are fun and generate clicks, but don't make much practical sense. Bitcoin-friendly banks and ETFs are a necessary "evil" in the path of Bitcoin adoption. It is naive to expect a total collapse of the traditional system, and not everyone can be their own bank. It will not collapse, it will adapt, and it is adapting.
Looking forward to an exciting new year!

Feels like the end of year fireworks are over and the price is starting to drift lower. I suspect this will likely remain until we get news on the ETF in a couple weeks. I’m still curious if we’ll see a sell the news situation or not. Part of me thinks we have to see some profit taking, but another part of me thinks the market is ready to rip on any news.

As far as I can see in the video, it surprised even him - maybe because something like that happens very rarely. However, if we take into account that it was about 10 years ago, it took courage to say something like that, and I always remember the expression on the face of the host in the TV studio when he said it - she probably thought he was a bit crazy.
his other prediction of 250K in 2022 did not pan out, of course, and he admits to that.

I hope I'm wrong, but somehow it seems to me that $250k is a bit too optimistic for 2024, because that would be an increase of six times compared to the current price, and I wonder if it is realistic to expect such an increase considering the last big bull run achieved only a little more than x3 compared to the then ATH ($20k -> $69k)

I agree with you when it comes to the pretty presenter, and I must admit that apart from being pleasing to the eye, she has a very specific way of communicating, quite quietly and unobtrusively. She reminded me of someone from my country

Hmmmm...GBTC's Bary Silbert resignes.
I keep my fingers crossed that he did not "mess" with the bitcoin that was supposed to be there.

Maybe this is just a technicality related to the OTC stock---> ETF transition?

There is a hint in this picture. If you zoom in to red wall you will see written"Acil Durum Hatti" which means 'Emergency Line'. Also if we Google this phone number 4441442, result will show Istanbul Airport.
