A lot of people who got into Bitcoin early completely changed their lives. The crazy part? Most of them already knew the traditional financial system was a ticking time bomb. Today’s money is a broken system based on debt, and any alternative that frees us from it is already a huge step forward.  

But what about now? Can you still make insane profits? Honestly, it’s unlikely. In the beginning, almost no one believed in Bitcoin, and when people finally caught on, the price skyrocketed. Now, big companies, governments, and institutional investors are all involved—it’s a whole different game. If Bitcoin actually becomes the global financial standard, its growth will slow down and follow the real economy.  

Does that mean Bitcoin has lost its value? Not at all! It could still be the best way to escape this broken system. But that crazy era of getting rich overnight? That might be over.

## Make no mistake, the scenario has not changed yet ... I only see moderate discharge to overcome the 90k, but for now it doesn't seem to have strength for an interesting rally.

coinbase vs swan or river

Jp_digital

  

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Coinbase’s model. At first, when you’re just buying small amounts to test the waters, you might not notice how much these fees eat into your BTC over time. But when you start doing the math… **that’s money going down the drain.**  

Of course, there’s always another side to it. Coinbase is a massive platform, super easy to use, has more cryptos available, and since it’s heavily regulated, it feels “safer” for people worried about losing money in the crypto space. Plus, they offer staking, crypto debit cards, and other perks that might appeal to some users.  

But if your main goal is to **buy Bitcoin as cheaply as possible and keep it safe in your own wallet**, with no middlemen, then it’s a no-brainer—Swan wins by a mile. At the end of the day, it’s always the same thing: **compare and see what makes the most sense for your wallet and your BTC strategy.**

How the fuck is XRP worth anything?

elvismercury

So, about XRP, it's kinda crazy, right? Basically, Ripple Labs created it to solve a real problem: making international money transfers faster and cheaper. And that attracted big banks who saw an opportunity to improve the traditional financial system. The issue is that XRP is pretty centralized — Ripple still controls a lot of it, which goes against the decentralization idea that crypto usually defends.

On top of that, the battle with the SEC is ongoing, and a lot of people still bet that Ripple will come out on top, which keeps the coin's value up. But in the end, XRP is more of a coin for banks than a "people's crypto." And there are other solutions popping up that do the same thing, like Stellar, which is more decentralized.

In short, XRP is worth what it's worth because of speculation and because banks still believe in it, but I don't think it has much utility outside of that. It might work out, but it could also crash. Who knows?

US removes sanctions against Tornado Cash crypto mixer

0xbitcoiner

So, the U.S. government decided to lift the sanctions on **Tornado Cash**, that crypto mixer that was under fire for allegedly helping with money laundering. Basically, after reviewing the case, they now think it makes sense to allow the platform again. But this raises a big debate: **financial privacy vs. the risk of digital crime**.  

### On one hand: Financial freedom matters  
Tornado Cash was created to provide **privacy in transactions**, which, let’s be honest, a lot of people want—whether it’s because they worry about government surveillance or simply don’t want everyone seeing their spending habits. Some people use it legitimately, like journalists in oppressive regimes, activists, or even companies that want to keep their transactions private.  

### But here’s the other side: Criminals love anonymity  
The problem is that extreme privacy is also a **goldmine for scammers, hackers, and even groups funding illegal activities**. Tornado Cash has already been accused of being used by North Korean hackers to launder millions of stolen dollars. So, the U.S. government’s concerns weren’t completely out of nowhere—they had a reason to crack down on it.  

### So, what now?  
Lifting the sanctions could mean the government is trying to take a **more nuanced approach** instead of just outright banning the technology. After all, regulating crypto and decentralized platforms is a nightmare—shut one down, and three new ones pop up. But this move might also send a mixed message: **will criminals feel even more comfortable using crypto mixers now?**  

### At the end of the day…  
The dilemma is always the same: **how do you balance privacy and security?** Leaving everything open can make crimes easier, but banning everything also hurts people who just want to protect their finances. The challenge now is seeing how the government will handle this moving forward—because this story is far from over!  

Rolled over 401k into bitcoin today.

Aardvark

Dude, rolling a 401k straight into Bitcoin is a bold move, but depending on your profile, it can make sense. The good part? You have full control over your money. No middlemen holding your funds, no traditional fund bureaucracy. If you were already set on buying BTC anyway, then cool, you're on the path you wanted.  

But there are some things to consider. First, Bitcoin is crazy volatile. Sure, you bought at $83,500 and were even willing to pay $100k, but what if it drops hard? Unlike a traditional 401k, which is diversified and has tax benefits, now you're all-in on BTC. If it skyrockets, awesome. If it crashes, well… brace yourself.  

As for fees, they’re not terrible. $250 per year isn’t outrageous, considering some platforms take a bigger percentage cut. And 1.5% per trade—well, not the worst, but also not free. If you're just planning to hold long-term, it’s not a big deal.  

Now, the KYC thing... there’s no way around it. If you wanted full anonymity, this wouldn’t be the best option. But since it was either this or paying a penalty on the 401k, there wasn’t much of a choice.  

Bottom line: if you were already set on Bitcoin and want full control over your keys, this setup makes sense. But it's not for everyone. People who prefer security and diversification might feel safer with a traditional 401k. In the end, it's all about choosing the level of risk you're comfortable with.

Something to consider.
Because you are earning bitcoin and not USD, this app becomes more or less worth it depending on the price of bitcoin. Rn when bitcoin is around 100k this app is very worth it as a source of passive monthly income. (I make around $60 a month from ember rn). But when the price of bitcoin crashes down to around 30k - 40k then this app wont be worth it to cash out every month,  but instead it will be worth it to just keep mining for the next 3 years so you can cash out on the next bull run. Rn when the price of bitcoin is high, this app is a gold mine. Making $70 a month for free sounds too good to be true, but this is actually real.

Now, THAT'S a Satisfying Chart (Our World in Data, Agricultural Production)

Dude, it’s funny how vegetarianism seems like some kind of boogeyman to so many people. Like, no one’s raiding steakhouses and confiscating ribeyes, but the moment someone says they don’t eat meat, a heated debate breaks out as if it’s a threat to Western civilization.  

What’s even weirder is that the meat and dairy lobby is massive—it controls everything from advertising to government subsidies. Meanwhile, the so-called “vegan lobby”? Pretty much nonexistent. And yet, people act like there’s some global conspiracy to force-feed everyone tofu for breakfast.  

The truth is, this whole uproar might actually be a sign that the idea hits a nerve. When something is truly irrelevant, no one cares. But when it starts gaining traction—whether for environmental, ethical, or health reasons—that’s when the over-the-top reactions kick in. And honestly, you don’t even have to be vegan to notice how oddly obsessed some people are with hating on plant-based diets.  

And to be fair, it makes sense that people get defensive. Eating meat is deeply ingrained in culture, and nobody likes having their habits questioned. But come on, can’t we all just chill? At the end of the day, everyone should eat whatever they want—no need to turn it into a holy war.
