Ruble / USD is at like a 5 year high. This example is not so good.

But what happens when the owners(celsius) just decide to shut it down? Not being an arse, just been reading and trying to figure this stuff out.


As we discussed with hardware wallets, you cannot be shut down.

Once you have taken your money out of the "system" its yours. Like actually yours.

And no, a government cannot shut down the BTC network. It would take over 100 terawatts to take over that network.

So you have to remove your money from the exchanges everyday?

I dont. I have a stack that I plan to hold long term which is about 80% I keep on my hardware wallet.

I have 20% on a variety of platforms and I monitor those daily as I am kind of a degen with this remaining 20%.

But I also mine and that mining payout I send to a CEX and once a a week I split it up into those same percentages.

Ok, so its like a stock, but instead of the exchange holding it, you actually hold it and the value would go up and down as the market goes?

From the little I know, mining seems like the way to go.

Pretty much with my personal expectation that over 5/10/15/20 years BTC/Crypto massively beats traditional investments as we are still early. Over time, however, I expect YOY returns to normalize as the market grows and becomes more stable and less volatile.

Its consistent and my rigs are in the green. So that means every day is a day I am in profit.

Another point, exactly how many times have you used your seed? I think I've used mine once since I purchased my first Trezor in 2014. Also, the amount of time my Trezor has been connected is probably no more than two hours total, and that was for firmware updates.

I've had better days. I was already in the red before today, so it's not as painful for me as it may be for others. Luckily, I'm not over-invested, so it's fine, but yeah, not fun. Not fun at all.

Nope, the problem is western folks don't live in pain where crypto really solves problems.

You mean...as a currency?

We could mention this again, but people will inevitably give me Western reasons as to why they don't really need it.

Is this 2011? I have already said I was a big early proponent about BTC as a currency. You can look at threads from 10+ years on here (why I used 2011). There is a lot of utility in the tech for currency use specifically.

The OG BTC whitepaper NEVER referred to BTC as use for a currency specifically.

Why are your arguments for why the tech has use specifically for use as a currency?

Think for an example, you live in Russia and your glorious leader starts a war. How do you protect what little savings you have when the western world turns off the banking "system"?

You can use a better example with Russians involved: The Cypriot banking crisis of 2012.

Literally BTC ATMs appeared out of nowhere...for the first time, I believe.

There is currently one solution.

It's more potential solution than solution at this point. Until a MUCH larger mass adoption occurs in conjunction with a long-term stability period, crypto isn't really useful as a currency and you're left with the same systems that can/will be attacked.

Isn't Coinbase an actual US bank? They may not find it as easy to shut down.
