The earlier we understand that bitcoin is not for everyone, the better because it saves us the time and energy that we would have used to convince those who are uninterested, to move on to those who are interested and it can also drive adoption faster.

[1] It's not like those who're uninterested now will not change their mind in the future, there's a possibility they might prefer Bitcoin in the future so we should consider everyone while promoting Bitcoin rather than a few since we aren't sure who'll adopt it.

I've read some threads here of some people trying to convince their family members on the positives of Bitcoin and get enraged if the said members don't share the same opinion as them but I feel everyone is entitled to his opinion and while some regard Bitcoin with outright disgust like Charlie Munger, there are some who care less of it's existence.


[2] I have nothing against people who are promoting Bitcoin to their family members but they should add the fact in their lines that "Bitcoin is a volatile currency and they may lose some money they've invested in rather than promoting it with agenda "Bitcoin is a money milking cow"

Bitcoiners have the opportunity to stand for something and that's eliminating the need for central authorities such as the government and banks and rather than forcing everyone to confirm to their beliefs, it's better to find an audience worth serving. What's your take, guys?


[3] If authorities want, they can easily track down the transactions of bitcoin or ask exchanges such as Binance for it it they think someone is trying to evade taxes by laundering the bitcoins. This is the reason i think every Mixing site will go down once they've done some million, billion dollar worth of bitcoin 'Mixing'
143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why local currencies when there is bitcoin ? on: July 20, 2023, 04:24:21 PM
A friend was bragging to me about the merits of her local currency, but I wonder what's the point since we have bitcoin? Bitcoin which obviously includes the world population.

Local currency?, do you mean a country's local currency or each town or state having its own currency?, Yes there are benefits of having local currency since you aren't only limited to bitcoin.
Local currency payment is instant-
For example, you're paying at a restaurant where you need instant payment rather than waiting for Bitcoin transfer (which can take up to an hour sometimes if you are unlucky)

I did not really understand the objectives of these local currencies, I was wondering if local currencies existed in other countries and if people understood the interest of these local currencies which seem to undergo inflation like the fiats.

Local currencies are fast in transaction compared to Bitcoin so I'm sure there are reasons people prefer both Bitcoin and local currencies (Look at a common example i presented above)

Okay. Since you have learned how to make money using an AI chat. There is no reason to teach others and get money from them. Instead, do what you know and make more money. I found a secret gold mine; why would I ask others to pay me to get into the gold mine when I can earn unlimited money from the gold mine already?

Stay away from such bastards!

Unless there's no goldmine, and these peeps are selling snake oil.
145  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I buy now or I should still wait for the dip? on: July 17, 2023, 04:33:41 PM
25k to 28k range is a good buying target, it could happen soon and maybe it will be the last dump who knows? But I will like to ask why now? Where are you when it was 15,000$ and 17,000$ because that was a very good buying opportunity,  I am still doing my gradual DCA but I went heavy on 15k more than 17k range, and now that it's 30k I still DCA with lower amount of money, it will feel wrong to not have any more money when unexpected dumps happen, which is possible.

You got to be prepared just in case, my advice is you should keep buying small amount of Bitcoin depending on what you have and hope that a better dip will come .

What OP missed is now gone but OP can still buy around the 28k range like you said and I'm bullish on bitcoin crossing over 35k USD before October.
Rather than beating up what happened in the past OP should consider making an investment that he can afford to lose.
146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: July 08, 2023, 05:07:53 PM
A friend of mine once told me that I can become very by investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
According to him,he said some crypto analyst and experts have long predicted that bitcoin has the largest transfer of wealth and affluent
The world has ever seen and that most of them that are investing in it will be the ones to be rewarded.
I'm certainly not convinced about this information that he gave to me...I want better ideas and  enlightenment on why I should buy bitcoin.I need help please!


There's no reason for you to buy Bitcoin if you want!
But look at the internet. You will see various online payment methods such as Neteller, PayPal, etc. The future of transactions is becoming online.
And what's better than having or investing in Bitcoin, which is not centralized like the methods mentioned above and whose value will rise in the future for sure.
So make your choice in whatever option you prefer.

And what does that have to do with his "ability" to delay the founding of a new block?

He'll at least get his confirmations if the next block's sat/vB goes above 6sat/vB.

You can raise the fee if it's Replaceable-By-Fee (RBF) or use Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP)

Oh, I know that. It was just the 3rd of 4th time it happened to me recently. The next block just came in at the 48 minute mark.
Not worth bumping the fee, I am just opening a lightning channel

I'm well aware of that 48-59 minute mark when blocks get a confirmation.
Mostly I saw either a few blocks (mostly 3-5) get confirmed within the 20-minute mark a few of those blocks gets confirmed within 10 minute mark.

I have never used Lightning channel so i can't comment on that.

Coinomize and Yo! Mix team must have seen you were trying so hard to repay the funds that were hacked, which you were, and could have taken you around 1 year or more to fully pay, I'm glad you're grateful for what someone has done for you, unlike a few members on the forum.

Anyway, no big loss here, I've never heard of Haru before this and don't particularly care whether it was a "defi" or a "bank" or a "shitcoin" type of deal or straight-up ponzi. Greed and stupidity will always find a way.

To me it seems next level Bitconnect ponzi scheme that have their in-house traders to provide compound interest daily to the investors pretty much the definition of a ponzi site.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of these especially with their fancy names.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dad's retirement money is invested in Bitcoin! on: June 15, 2023, 03:31:47 PM
The first rule of investing is not to stake what you cannot afford to lose. From your thread, your dad and the rest of the family are heavily dependent on the pension, putting that into a volatile asset is a risk, one you have to think long and hard before making.

Exactly. Otherwise, he'd be gambling that money instead of investing.
152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: June 15, 2023, 08:27:20 AM
Self-control is a must when we talk about activities like gambling, drinking or consuming other substances: as you said, you'd never mix them.

Yes, self-control is a must, but what can one do when winning or losing continuously in case of.
Losing - Trying to recover what they've lost, hitting a loss streak along the way, and losing the whole balance.
Winning - Thinking luck works and placing reckless bets before busting the balance.

Self-limiting can be used, but I wonder if he will use it because many gamblers don't even know a self-limit feature exists. They tend to limit themselves by always depositing money or playing gambling instead of using that feature.

Very rarely someone uses self-limiting feature. If they hit their limit, then they can always make another account and deposit to that one while limit on the previous account is being lifted.
This happens when someone is in rush to play.

Unfortunately on your last point, people can often turn to gambling situations (especially when online betting) because they actually suffer from loneliness and are looking to add a bit more excitement into their life.

They can always go for a walk outside and get into a relationship or get married if they're suffering from loneliness the habit of gambling away funds all the time will only make their life worse.

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

Does this include someone giving a death threat or wishing death of someone on the forum?
156  Economy / Economics / Re: Effects: Over-reliance on the US dollar on: May 20, 2023, 03:02:29 PM
Over-reliance on the US dollar can have several negative effects on countries that heavily depend on it as their primary reserve currency. With the expansion of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), there has been a growing trend of countries diversifying their reserves away from the US dollar and towards other currencies, including the Chinese yuan.

One of the primary effects of over-reliance on the US dollar is that it can make a country vulnerable to fluctuations in the value of the dollar. If the dollar weakens, the value of the country's reserves also declines, which can have negative implications for their economy.

Furthermore, being too dependent on the US dollar can limit a country's ability to conduct international trade with other countries that use different currencies. This can lead to increased transaction costs, as well as make it more difficult to negotiate favorable trade agreements.

It remains to be seen how this development will impact the US economy and the US dollar in the coming years. Still, countries worldwide are exploring alternatives to the US dollar as their primary reserve currency.

Advantages:

1- There are a wide variety of games on the website. For me, league of legends is what i looked for and found it in esports (it's a plus that you guys have esports)
2- The website is easy to navigate through to find what game, game event you're looking for.
3- The website's design is also good, with plenty of eye candy for lovers of beautiful design.

Disadvantages:

There aren't many disadvantages, but the ones from my point of view are.
- Website after login is laggy and relatively slow.
- While registering, I had to face confirming password issue (Where I can't paste the password which was around 20-30 characters, you should enable paste password on confirm your password)

158  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia and others, move to use Yuan instead of dollar. on: May 16, 2023, 11:45:32 AM
This is what could be referred to in international politics as power tussle in terms of international levels of analysis. Haven such two conflicting countries like China and Russia coming together based on mutual economic interest against a common rival the USA is one that could be very frustrating for the US dollar with the unambiguous leverage and advantage the likes of Russia, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia have come together to give to the Chinese Yuan. With Russia in the forefront bent on the use of the Chinese Yuan instead of the US dollar in their country and in all of it's transactions and trades settlements with Latin America, Africa and Asia countries.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/russia-turns-to-chinas-yuan-in-effort-to-ditch-the-dollar-a8111457


The move by Russia and China to promote the use of the Chinese Yuan in international transactions and settlements is a significant development that could have implications for the US economy and the US dollar.

What does this new development make for the US economy and the US dollar in the coming days and years to come.[/b]
Give your personal opinion on this development!

It's important to note that the US dollar is still the most widely used currency in international trade and finance, and It remains to be seen how this development will impact the US ec
