Innovation is infinite, meaning there would always be room for improvements in any technology. It is impossible at the time to envision how that change would come, similar to how those in the early days of computers thought that with advancements computers would get progressively bigger not smaller to fit into our pockets.

Bitcoin is a futuristic technology, but the future is going to last a while.

The move to paper was barely an upgrade.

Nodes or miners that keep the consensus chain running without any attempt at a malicious attack.

The block chain is built on hundreds of thousands of singular blocks stacked on each other in a chronological order. Determining the longest valid chain among any malicious attempt to hijack the network would be fairly easy.

If a miner can gain at least 51% of the hashrate, they have consensus and can attempt to double spend transactions.

I'll add that one should view everything as a scam until proven otherwise. At every point in time we would be cautious of any message or offer we get and look for reasons that point out that it's a scam. It would be difficult to still fall for a scam that you suspect to be one.

Also, if it's too good to be true, then it isn't.

What's your reason for registering an account here on the forum? If it's to learn more about Bitcoin and invest a bit when you've acquired more knowledge, then the forum ranks and politics should not really bother you. Merits would more or less be pats on the back for an educative post or response.

But if you are more focused on advancing in the forum, knowing how it works beyond the rules and maybe entering a signature campaign, then you should understand how ranks work.

Secondly, you should not interact more than you wish to. If reading and learning without commenting works for you, do that

These features are surely not overlooked here on the forum. Bitcoin has so many qualities which makes it unique, with the top for me being that you function effectively as your own bank.
You can set up your branch when you want and send transactions once you have some bitcoins in your balance without having to trust any third party.

Banks are an integral part of our society at this time and any there financial institution must coexist with it.

Bitcoin is paired to USD but not pegged to it. Stable coins are pegged to assets to retain their value, Bitcoin is not a stable coin, but is paired with different fiat currencies to show its value.

Has the stock market decoupled from Bitcoin?

If you've always had perfect statistics of good reports then it means the system is working as it should. No system can be perfect or appease everyone at all times. The mods also do their best with what is available.

Human error. You factor it into anything that people act based on their discretion.
This error could be from the person handling the reports or the person making it.

This is elite advice and anyone who couldn't read the whole thread should focus on this.
Bitcoin is not a way to make money, but an investment option to save up a part of your income for the future.

Knowledge is invaluable. If one acquires knowledge before considering any investment their chances of being successful in the long run is much higher.
Successful in this context means either choosing the right asset and holding for a reasonable timeframe or avoiding wrong investments.

It looks like a straight forward action to delete these posts. You didn't share the threads that were moved, but this should have been acted on.

Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports.

Adequately handled reports are a motivation to report more, but we would try to focus on the action and not the result.
If in thousands of reports you've only had a handful of issues, doesn't seem like a reason to quite sending out reports.

"RAK Digital Assets Oasis' unique lifestyle proposition will support companies with robust, innovation-enabling adoption frameworks, advisory and professional services, hybrid workspaces, accelerators and incubators, sandboxes, access to funding, and an environment that encourages entrepreneurs to imagine, create, and evolve."

The part about access to funding caught my eye in the article and I would be very interested to see how that works.
Ever since the death of ICOs, devs has been having issues accessing finding for their, more often than not, shit projects. If there comes a hub where one can easily access funds to push their ideas out, it would be a welcome assistance and would be popular among the crypto community.

I doubt the process would be easy at all. Regulating a constantly growing crypto market and vetoing them to determine which deserves funding and assistance is a difficult task.

I'm not aware of any particular reason for this distinction. Most likely it's for identification, just how segwit addresses, legacy addresses and even compressed and uncompressed private keys start with a particular character(s).

You could also wait for other members who may have more appropriate answers to respond, if there is such answer.

Just checked your initial thread and I can totally relate to that situation.
Lack of electricity is one of the major issues limiting citizens of developing and under developed Nations and negatively affecting SME growth in those areas.

The forum does not count as an enterprise, but one needs to be online to be able to read through and learn. Congratulations on fixing your electricity issue and using an environmentally safe solution.

The type of investors does not determine the the of asset that it is. Anyone is free to buy Bitcoin, that doesn't affect the decentralization of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the only currency which has a anonymous creator who cannot effwct changes arbitrarily on the network. Everything done is happens through consensus and must be accepted by majority.

As a beginner here you have to read as much as you can inorder to learn much faster. This is the reason for the cool down time between posts, which reduces as one advances in rank.
If you keep churning out low quality posts, you only add to your activity and maybe add yourself to a couple of users' ignore list.

If you've not learnt anything to share, you would only create spa mega threads and earn no merits for that.

To be doubly safe during an emergency, have an alternate back up spot which is in a separate location.

So if you somehow cannot access the first one due to a natural disaster or some other event, you always have the second one to rely on and access your funds.

To understand how P2P can work in the proper manner;
• The one selling bitcoins has their personal, non custodian wallets linked up to their account (which was opened without the need for KYC).
• They are matched up to a seller or chose a pair from the available sell orders,
• Buyer and seller discuss payment option to go with and decide on the most convenient,
• Seller creates a smart contact transaction which releases the funds to the buyer's wallet once seller receives the fiat payment.

Some exchanges could tweak some actions, but that's the general idea. What binance does is just another form of regular centralized transaction with Binance mediating between buyer and seller and holding the funds at every point during the trade.

It's all a marketing prop, just like coinbase custodian wallet imitation.

AFAIK, that would be possible, just as coin mixed and joined transactions can be detected. But, you would not have any trouble running a node through Tor, Bitcoin is privacy inclined and encourages users to resist censorship of any form.

• DeFi and decentralized exchanges are two different sectors, hacks in DeFi does not mean vulnerability in exchanges like bisq. Also, CEXes have shown lots of vulnerability to hacks and breaches resulting in loss of funds or personal details.

• There are platforms that give such information and one can use that as a guide for trades. But it is overall difficult to trade using a P2P platform.

Not many governments have blended Bitcoin into their financial system, at best majority have either made it legal, or not yet determined what it is, but allowing it to be traded by their citizens.

As a decentralized asset Bitcoin should not depend on validation from a centralized body, and I am always wary when the government wants to integrate Bitcoin into their system, but it is a means if adoption considering that many have grown to trust the systems they have known for a longtime and would be more partial to Bitcoin if their government is into it.
