Gold silver scam
A friend bought gold & silver bars ~10 years ago. Now, when prices are high, he went to sell them… and boom — turns out it was a scam.
The “gold” was actually Nordic gold (copper + zinc + aluminum), and the silver was just copper plated. They only found out when the buyer did an acid test and machine scan. Even the inside of the bar looked real at the time of purchase.
Lesson: Even stamped gold isn’t always safe. Scams are real.
With BTC, the blockchain verifies everything — not some fake 999.99 stamp.
I’m now shifting from gold/silver to Bitcoin and getting all my metals checked (which also costs extra).
Those who understand this early… win the long game.
BTC forever 🚀🟠

I hit 10,000,000 sats (0,1btc), what now?
I've been stacking as much as I could and now I gathered my 0,1 dream, with a pretty good avg price. Safely stored, scammers, don't even try, thanks.
Now, I have to take a rest for a month or two to pay for a few things in life, but then what? I want to diverse my portfolio with stocks and ETF-s, so I'm not all-in BTC.
What would you do? Should I just DCA every day with a small amount while I invest also in stocks now with bigger $$? I know BTC, I trust BTC, but I don't want to keep all my eggs in the same basket. I can't afford to lose it all.
What would you do?
My initial goal was 0,1btc, but now that I hit it I'm thinking about the 0,21 goal :D

What if the real Bitcoin bull run starts after everyone gives up in 2025?
I’ve been thinking a lot about Bitcoin’s price action this year, and something just feels off. It’s been unusually quiet.. almost suppressed? Historically, we’d be deep into the parabolic phase of the 4-year cycle by now, but instead, Bitcoin seems to be held back.
Here’s my theory:
We might be witnessing deliberate suppression by powerful players, the kind of “elites” who understand Bitcoin’s long-term potential and want to ensure that most people never get to own much of it.
Think about it, it’s now Q4 2025, and everyone’s expecting a market top soon. Many holders are probably planning to sell, expecting a brutal bear market in 2026 (just like in past cycles). Meanwhile, the Fed is pivoting, lowering rates and ending QT.
So what happens?
If Bitcoin doesn’t go parabolic by the end of this year, a lot of people will lose faith. They’ll sell, sit on the sidelines, and wait for a “classic” 50–60% drop next year to buy back in cheaper.
But what if that drop never comes?
What if, instead, early 2026 is when Bitcoin finally takes off, breaking far above $200k when most retail investors are out of the market, expecting a bear? By then, the big players (who’ve been quietly accumulating) will already hold massive positions. They won’t let Bitcoin dump again because they know it’s the future of money and they’ll want to control the scarce supply before it becomes completely out of reach for regular people.
So maybe 2025’s “boring” price action is the setup. The real move might start when everyone’s least expecting it, right after most people sell.
PS: in case you wanna comment on AI, yes, this post has been written with the help of AI just to make it easier to read and fix grammar mistakes, but the idea comes from my own thoughts and AI summed it pretty well. Thank you for understanding. So ye, let me know what what you think, could this be a real possibility? xd
