The future of money and the economy is hard to predict, but it will be shaped by the complex interplay of technology, societal changes and government policies. It is likely that we will see a shift towards digital forms of money and financial transactions, such as cryptocurrencies and digital wallets. This trend has already begun, with the advent of digital payments and the continuing rise in popularity of cryptocurrencies. A number of governments around the world are considering introducing their own national digital currencies, which could be accepted as legal tender alongside more traditional forms of money.

However, it is unlikely that physical cash will disappear altogether. Especially in poorer countries, where banking infrastructure is less developed, cash remains the most widely accepted form of payment. Many people also prefer to use cash for certain transactions because it offers greater privacy than electronic forms of payment.

My opinion is that the future of money is likely to be a hybrid, with physical cash and digital currencies coexisting for many years. The key question is whether governments will allow people to use both forms of money, or whether they will force them to choose between the two.

Behold, one of my AI-generated masterpieces. The level of precision, accuracy and efficiency demonstrated by the AI system is nothing short of remarkable.

It is never too late to invest in Bitcoin, as long as you understand the risks involved. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile; their price can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. It is important to do your own research and understand what those risks are before making any investment decisions. Since you are new to the world of cryptocurrency, it is best to start small. You do not need a lot of money to invest in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies; you can get started with just a few dollars. As your knowledge grows and your confidence builds, you can increase your investment over time. It is also important to invest only what you can afford to lose and diversify your portfolio, that way, if one investment does not work out as planned, you will not lose all of your money.

It is ultimately your decision whether to invest in bitcoin or not, but it is important to be well-informed before making any investment decisions.
Welcome to the forum, by the way.

I agree, manipulation in all financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market, is an unfortunate reality. But don't let it cloud your judgement, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are like the wild child of finance, they have the potential to change the game and shake things up. And that's something worth getting excited about.

Exactly. It is hard to say exactly how governments will approach the development and implementation of their official digital currency, but it is likely that they will consider a variety of factors such as security, scalability, adoption... Some governments may prefer to use existing blockchain platforms, while others may choose to develop their own proprietary technology. Ultimately, the specific technology used will depend on the specific requirements and goals of the government and the stablecoin project, however, I doubt that any of them will resort to a solution based on recommendations to someone's request on a public forum.

I voted "0" because even though I am familiar with some members' real names, either because they made it public or used it in their nick, I cannot verify the truth of their claims, thus I believe my vote was correct. Perhaps a more accurate question should be: "How many forum members do you know in real life?".

If a group of large Bitcoin holders, referred to as "whales," were to own 51% of the total supply of Bitcoin, they would have significant influence over the price of Bitcoin, as they could potentially manipulate the market by selling large amounts of their holdings at once. However, they would not have control over the Bitcoin network itself as they would not have the majority of the mining power which is required to to double spend or reverse transactions, and potentially manipulate the integrity of the blockchain. Thus, decentralization would still exist as the network relies on multiple participants to validate transactions and confirm blocks.

I disagree, it is not entirely accurate to say that being overweight is the sole risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. It is similar to saying that only overweight people experience cardiac arrest or that only smokers contract lung cancer. It is not accurate and oversimplifies the issue.

While it is certainly a contributing factor, there are other factors to consider such as genetics, family history, as certain genetic predispositions can increase the likelihood of developing the condition. Additionally, age and race also play a role, as people of certain ethnicities are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, and the risk increases as one gets older.

If anything, from my personal experience, I can confidently say that my father never struggled with weight issues, in fact, he led a very active lifestyle and was quite athletic throughout his life. It is safe to say that obesity was never an issue for him.

Your title says one thing, but in your post you ask for another, what are you really looking for?

By the way, where did you get the information about the plan to ban bitcoin mining? Are you sure it's not just fake news?

My father was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes years ago, and since then he has had to make many lifestyle changes to manage his condition. He has had to make changes to his diet, cutting out sugary and processed foods, and increasing his intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. He also had to start exercising regularly, aiming for at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. In addition to lifestyle changes, my father has also had to start taking medication to help manage his diabetes. He has been using insulin injections and oral medications to control his blood sugar levels. With the help of his healthcare team, he has been able to adjust his medications as needed to find the right balance for his body.

Managing diabetes is not easy, and there are still days when he struggles. But, he is determined to take control of his health and live a long and healthy life. My father's experience with type-2 diabetes has taught me the importance of self-care and self-management. He has shown me that with the right mindset and the support of loved ones, anyone can successfully manage their diabetes and lead a full and satisfying life.

Wow, I have never come across something like this before. It is quite impressive how resourceful scammers are becoming. I would definitely recommend reporting this to Freelancer.com customer service, as it goes against their rules and guidelines.

By the way, I noticed you previously mentioned sending a copy of your ID card to him. In my opinion, it is best to avoid sending personal information to anyone, even if they seem trustworthy, as there are many potential risks and negative consequences that could result from doing so.

Yes. The idea of a scam that depends on the victim copying addresses from their transaction history may seem far-fetched and unlikely to succeed, but people lose money in all kinds of ways. Some people will most likely fall for it if they're careless and stupid enough. I do not think we should give this too much thought. This is not the type of scam that can happen to anyone. As they say, a fool and his money are easily parted.

I like the idea. A dedicated board for discussing the latest threats, sharing tips and resources, and asking questions related to cybersecurity would be a valuable addition to the community. I do not see any negative side to this proposal.

Nice find, PowerGlove and LoyceV! I found another example and made a plagiarism report: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg61585468#msg61585468
I hope the spammer gets the permaban he deserves.

Another example that PowerGlove discovered earlier:

Even if the market is bearish, my faith in #BTC never wavers. I'm not just holding, I'm stacking sats! Because in a bear market, the strong-hand investors hold on to their investments. They hold on to them and wait for the market to recover. And with the #BTC's track record of resilience and growth, I have no doubt that it will bounce back stronger than ever.

I agree, it is great to be a part of this community! I hope you will continue to stay involved, because it is always interesting to hear about other people's experiences trading in Bitcoin. For example, do you have any specific strategies that you follow? Also, do you have previous experience in trading?

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and welcome to the forum!

The question, though, is why. Why are you so concerned with earning merit?

You can still utilize most of the features on this forum regardless of earned merits or your rank. You can still post, create threads, and comment on other people’s posts. You can still ask questions and get answers from other members of the community. So why do you care so much?

There is no need to post the same thing multiple times, you can move this topic yourself. Just use "move topic" command located below this current thread on the left and move it under: Economy > Trading Discussion > Scam Accusations

But it would probably be a good idea to present more evidence why you believe the $QUON token is a scam/rugpull. I have never heard of that project before and so any information you could provide would help my understanding.

You yre a true Bitcoin believer! Some might say that you are "all in" on the digital gold.  Your friends may see potential in other altcoins, but ultimately the decision to diversify your portfolio is yours. By holding the remaining 10% as savings, you are potentially leaving room for future opportunities. It is always good to have some flexibility in your investment strategy.
