This is like saying that your house is not truly yours, until you put the key in the lock and open the door...

While I can see the philosophical side of your argument, I don't think it serves a purpose, really... My keys give me guaranteed access to my BTC, period. It has never failed me and never will, because it is guaranteed by code, math & science. Should a technical glitch occur (a bug in the code, perhaps, or a mempool overload), that prevents me from accessing my coins, this will likely be a global thing affecting a wide range of key owners, and should be fixable. To the best of my knowledge, throughout Bitcoin's history, there has never been a case of someone's keys not working.

Losing your keys is not relevant to the discussion. In the same manner, the possibility that you could cross a road and be killed by a passing car means that you're not really alive right now. I can see this turning religious fairly quickly...

I was actually wondering when you’re going to appear, before I saw your post dude.
Yeah, it’s going to be a great joy … I guess.

Speaking of which, have a joyful read about bad actors in general - much like yourself - not.a.sir.azimuth:

Liar.

I know you claim that you don’t watch TV, but unfortunately most people’s research is confined to the MSM and google.
That’s why the world is in a mess, yo.

I agree with you that once you have the key and if you can maintain the key properly then you own the asset in Bitcoin so as long as you have the key you own Bitcoin If the owner of the property cannot properly protect the keys then your property will be considered as someone else's creates your keys in such a way that hackers cannot succeed even after thousands of attempts.

That's right, as long as the keys are yours and only yours, the bitcoins remain yours as well. But, in addition to the options for losing keys mentioned by Biodom, there is always an unexpected hacking option. We can recall the story that happened a few months ago with Libbitcoin, where key generation was carried out with insufficient entropy, as a result of which the keys generated in this way were especially vulnerable to hackers. This way, you can be confident in the safety of your keys and still face the loss of your bitcoins. The probability of this is almost zero, but still not zero.

Even if other assets look less attractive, this does not make Bitcoin ownership absolute. Biodom beautifully said, "Nothing is guaranteed, but bitcoin "mechanics" is probably one of the closest approximations to that ideal." Very close to ideal, but not absolutely.

This is not what I posted, really.
Something else in that context clearly referred to something like a paper wallet or "etched" wallet, which people fondly showed few years back.

Define possess...little pieces of printed paper, for example..house burns or is blown away by the hurricane, cleaning lady throws them away, wife/girlfriend doing a major cleanup, or somebody stealing them.
So many contingencies...it is a freaking bearer asset and asserting ownership could theoretically become perilous (in some easy to imagine situations).

I was not saying that bitcoin is worse than other assets you mentioned, it's just that your ownership of this asset is established ONLY when you send it and you can't say "well, i had a private key, but i now i don't, but this bitcoin is still mine". In fact, I expect major lawsuits in the future dealing with this.

Nonsense. Of course you own your bitcoins as long as you and you alone possess the private keys to your Bitcoin addresses. Nothing else is required.

No hardware devices are required other than mnemonic devices. It's the corollary to NYKNYC... your keys, your coins. No one can take them away from you, no banks, no governments.

Contrast that to less finite asset ownership such as fiat currencies, "precious" metals, real estate, art, antiques, etc.

The only assets as valuable as Bitcoin are the relationships you establish with people.

your bitcoin=Schrodinger cat, which is both alive and dead ( or there and not there) or, according to the many worlds theory, there is one universe where the cat is alive (your bitcoins private key turned out to be correct) and another where the cat is dead (many Universes where you don't happen to have a correct key).
In fact, every time I send a tx, is still feels like a small miracle of the code being right and it "happening".
Albeit, I always have a fear of the code/key degradation or outright loss.
Nothing is guaranteed, but bitcoin "mechanics" is probably one of the closest approximations to that ideal.

Even though you may well be correct, isn't that still a bit philosophical and abstract... and maybe it is a point worth emphasizing for some purposes.

If we might assert that the private keys are inside of a hardware wallet, and the bitcoins are not inside of such hardware wallets, the bitcoins are in the cloud.. and  ONLY the cloud that is part of the bitcoin cloud.. no other cloud... but then anyone might argue that the bitcoins do not exist in any one place at any one time because it takes a bunch of nodes to say what is bitcoin and which bitcoins are which.. . all of the nodes may well have copies of which bitcoin are supposed to be which, but aren't some of the nodes going to sometimes get out of synch.. or maybe not be running exactly the right software to recognize what other nodes might be recognizing.  

I better stop before I even get further out of my depths. and just say, uncle... hahahaha

Nobody truly owns any bitcoins..because the ownership is only established when you are able to apply a correct private key in a "send" tx (via hardware device or something else), albeit validation of the private key (at some other point in time) is possible. Before that, it is all allegedly. This is in principle, of course.

Woops.  Thanks for catching that. 

I started to write my 'splaining, then I started to think that maybe it is good to remain a bit ambiguous, amorphous and even potentially internally contradicting on this point.

Largely, what I was attempting to say was that I think that I have as much cash as is worth the whole amount that I had invested in bitcoin.... at least within 20%.. ..

It's like one of those kinds of claims that should maybe stay a little bit vague and perhaps even unbelievable, but it is a kind of claim to assert that with the passage of time in terms of being in the bitcoin market, the various ups and downs of the BTC market, there may well end up being more and more cash in reserves to deal with the volatility and also a kind of sense that the amount of BTC that are held become nearly like a kind of house money... even though I proclaim to have around a $1k cost basis for any of the BTC that I hold. 

I know that mileage may well vary in terms of how BTC accumulators/holders might deal with their BTC after they are mostly in a kind of maintenance stage rather than an accumulation stage.. which that is where I perceive myself to be, and i also appreciate that some folks might want to assert that anyone who has a lot of cash at this time when we are fairly low in the BTC price (like within 20%-ish of the 200-week moving average) is not bullish enough to be holding so much cash, and it kind of seems to me that just the longer that we are in bitcoin, we end up having more than enough or we get some senses regarding how much we feel that we need to make sure that we continue to have at various price points, and that seems to be where I am at... still way too many BTC, even though some people proclaim that you never can have enough BTC, and I am no Michael Saylor in terms of how I perceive him  to be overly allocating... I feel that I am overallocated to BTC, but not in the same ways that Saylor (and his company) seem to be... and yes, I can hear you (and perhaps others) proclaiming that there is no way that a person could be overallocated if he is proclaiming to have nearly as much cash on hand as he had invested into bitcoin.. which is more or less the thing that I had meant to proclaim.

And generally speaking I never really claim to be holding a lot of cash.. I think that I had made some representations that my cash was around 2.5% or something like that of my BTC holdings... and gosh I had not done the calculations recently.. and my shitcoins tend to be less than 0.5%, even though sometimes prices will fluctuate, so I might have to do a tally.. maybe at the end of the month...

Surely we might realize that the BTC prices having had gone up more than 2.2x since it's November 2022 bottom should be helpful in these kinds of matters and also that I had "suffered" from a bit of a Binance US fat thumb mistake in June 2023.. which I probably still have around 25% to 35% more cash than I would usually have had partially due to that situation... and don't get me wrong wrong, I already bought back more than 50% more than I had sold in the process of the mistake in which outstanding BTC sales orders were executed from $31k to $140k-ish, even though I think that the highest sell order that I had executed upon me was around $130k, since around that time due to some technical limitations, Binance US had not allowed BTC sell orders to get set higher than the price that mine were, even though when I reset them, they did allow me to go up to $150k.. which was the place that I had all my sell orders on other exchanges that I had been using at that time.  Is it now more clear, bitebits?  Sorry (but not sorry) for the error in my earlier word choices.


Your explanation does not really help.


That's a suckie approach too, since it comes off as a kind of white knighting that might cause some folks to puke.  You know what is "white knighting?"


Could be true, but it seems cleaner not to presume too much about what "we" might want.. but sure, use whatever words you like, when it would probably be better to express what you mean differently, to the extent that it might be a point that is worth making.

"we sure would like to get $40k by no later than November 1 - give or take 2 days."  It is not necessarily a bad point.. especially since this thread is about price movements regarding what has happened, what is happening and what might happened... so sure, I will admit that maybe, perhaps or that it could be that I am acting with too much pettiness.  As you were solder...   wwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee away as much as you likie.
