Why should I use a paper wallet when I can buy a $60 hardware wallet and store my coins there? This is much more convenient if you want to store multiple coins, or want to do so in the future. Previously, there were no hardware wallets or they were expensive and untested.
Hardware wallets are growing in popularity, but they are not for everyone. In addition to the cost, those extra features are not always necessary, especially if you just want store a few different kinds of cryptocurrency. A paper wallet is great to have, not only in case something happens to your device (hardware wallets can be lost or damaged), but also because you can use them as "savings" wallets where you are not spending from them often. Paper wallets are convenient for offline storage and for long-term storage.

Good question. And there are two sides of this coin to consider. Conditions do change and they will vary based on the type of job or position you're applying for. The best thing is to ask in the ad or position description what the minimum experience requirements are so you don't waste your time applying for something that you may not have enough skills for. That being said, employers also need to realize that a lack of experience can be easily offset by other skills an applicant has – like talent, hard work, and a good attitude. If a person is great at what they do and passionate about it, most people will find a way to overlook any experience shortfalls.

The best money advice I received when I was younger and just starting out was "spend less than you earn". I took it to heart and have lived it ever since.
It is easy advice to remember, but harder to put into practice. First of all, start by making a budget. Break down your income into categories to see where everything is going. Make sure to set aside some money for savings, and put that money in a separate account. Your choices will always be better if you plan ahead rather than simply reacting to every situation that comes your way.

I suppose my thoughts on this matter are mixed. I really like the idea of it, but at the same time I have a lot of concerns about where the money will go, who will it be for and how it will be used.
That said, it is an excellent idea that I hope that it ends up working out in a meaningful way. A lot of people in this world are facing a number of challenges in their day to day lives. Hunger, poverty, and other problems have been an issue for far too long, and many charitable organizations are already trying hard to make a real difference.

What do you think will be the fate of bitcoin in the future?
What will be the fate of Bitcoin? Well, as someone already said, Bitcon will be Bitcoin. We do not know what people will do with Bitcoin and frankly, no one is going to know until we start seeing adoption among the masses - if we see large scale adoption in the long term. Ultimately the decision to utilize Bitcoin lies in the users hands. If you want to transfer money from a country that restricts your finances, you may need to avoid traditional banks and any other third party services. Bitcoin is not just a valid form of currency, it is also a system that can protect your privacy as well. Although governments may want to control it, they cannot. At least not completely. They can control centralized services, but Bitcoin is designed as a Peer-to-Peer cash system and does not depend on centralized services.

I'm not sure where you need cryptography for this though, since it's your own database.
Using cryptography for confirmation of paid items is what I intend, as cryptography can be used to verify a legitimate payment & point out a fake one. possible? I do not think you really need cryptography in a closed system such as yours. Maybe just one-way hash functions if you want to protect your data from hacking attempts. Cryptography is used in a decentralized system to protect against unauthorized modification of data and prevent double spending. It is a security mechanism that ensures the validity of information and transactions in the blockchain network. If I understand your problem correctly, to verify the legitimacy of the payment, you can simply check your database to ensure that the transaction is recorded there. And since you are the only one authorized to confirm payments and write data to your database, you do not need cryptography.

~ Even as I write this I can see how ridiculous it sounds but just wanted ti get someone’s opinion here
Good! This experience should help you avoid similar scams in the future. Do not let this happen again. A side note: people who are trying to get money from you almost always seem nice at the start. Out of curiosity what does it take to make a view only wallet accessible to a third party?
What are you referring to exactly? Blockchain is public and open to anyone. There's nothing stopping you from making a wallet that others can see, except for the fact that it's not your wallet (you can't spend funds from it) if you don't have the private key. For example, I can show you Binance's wallet (probably the largest cryptocurrency exchange), but that does not mean I have access to the billions of dollars worth of money there.

Maybe you need to read what I said again to understand the point I'm making. I am not participating in YouTube campaign. Someone registered using my forum details and Heulahee's YouTube challnnel to register and used his wallet address.
We need details. Who is that "someone"? If someone else is using your name to cheat, you should investigate and post the evidence so DT members can tag them. Do not expect someone else to do your work for you if you want to clear your name.

The fact that AI-generated content is so difficult to detect suggests that progress in this field has been extremely rapid. It is remarkable how quickly advances are being made in this space. I have heard that some news outlets are already using AI-generated content in their publications, and it is easy to imagine that in a few years they will be so capable that they can produce content that is indistinguishable from real human writing.
So would it make sense to try to detect AI-generated content with an AI classification model? The training data for such a model would need to include both an AI-generated dataset and examples of human-generated content. And then train a classification algorithm to separate AI-generated content from human-generated one. Would that be possible?

The merchants have to trust any which ways .. even banks ,,,
Yes, but banks are heavily regulated financial institutions and have a fiduciary responsibility toward their customers, so it is not quite the same thing. What kind of insurance or financial protection can you provide? though they can transfer funds to any wallet where they want , bitcoin transfers was never a challenge for anyone unlike alt coin transfers.. moreover the basic intent is not to invest ..but to earn .. so merchants can start anywhere from possibly any lowest amount and eventually grow...
For merchants, the main reasons to accept Bitcoin are that it eliminates the need to deal with credit card companies and reduces their expenditures on transaction fees. This is a pretty big deal, since credit card companies charge merchants around 2-3% in order to run their transactions, and as you can imagine, small businesses with tight margins often have difficulty making this extra cost up in price savings. But perhaps the most compelling reason that businesses should start accepting cryptocurrency payments is so they do not have to rely on third-party payment providers. Instead of relying on companies like Visa and Mastercard, merchants can cut out the middleman and process payments directly with their customers. This not only saves them money but also gives them complete control over their business' security. But if a business accepts cryptocurrency through a third-party custodial wallet service, they are still at the mercy of that company. This means that if something goes wrong with the security of their crypto wallet, or the company goes out of business, it could affect their business as well.

You cannot find your thread because it was deleted by moderators. When a thread is deleted, it is removed from the forum without notifying contributors.
He is the OP (original poster) of that's thread, if the moderators delete his thread, then he must get the notification on his email and message in this forum. Well, I do not think so. To my knowledge, only deleting individual posts sends a notification to the original poster via PM and email, but not if the whole thread is moved to trash. But since he said he didn't get both of them, so I'm confused here, does the moderators make a mistake? I think last year, there's a case where the moderators mistakenly delete a thread and then recover it back.
I think it is possible that moderators make mistakes. In this instance, however, I think the thread was deleted because it was in the wrong section. As some other members have already pointed out.

~ Frankly, I do not know how you can use the Opera browser, because the CAPTCHA code does not work during the login process. I remember that I used to use Opera Mini on the phone, but I don't remember any of these problems happening.
Thanks to theymos, you can bypass the CAPTCHA code request when logging in. Check here: https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php

After regulation, do you believe that the government will succeed in taxing bitcoin?
I will give you a realistic situation. My parents own 3 properties, with a total value of 1 million dollars. The government loves stealing money from citizens, so they have invented an inheritance tax. If my father passes away, I have to pay roughly $300 000 of inheritance taxes for those properties. It's like getting expropriated.
Obviously I do not want to pay these taxes. I can ask my father to sell the 3 properties while he is still alive. Then convert the revenue of 1 million dollars to BTC, and then pass it to my Ledger device. Now the government can not claim $300 000 of taxes. I will just own 1 million dollars of BTC with 0 tax. The government can not see my account. I can say I have made other transactions or got robbed. So they can't tax me and they lose their income.
Do you see why the government and the bank hate BTC?
I think that the arguments tax evasion and money laundering will cause them treat holders of bitcoin like criminals.
I don't know where you live, but I doubt that it is possible to sell (or buy) properties without some kind of taxation. No matter what form of payment you use. If your strategy to avoid taxation is buying/selling with cryptocurrency, you cannot avoid paying taxes. You can try to evade them, but that is illegal and I would not recommend it as you will most likely fail. The government hates BTC and other cryptocurrencies because they can't control them. They want to control everything and make sure they get their cut, but Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that cannot be controlled by any one entity. This is why many governments around the world are cracking down on cryptocurrencies, but it is also why more people are using them. The more the government tries to control things, the more people will look for alternatives and seek out ways to protect their privacy when using digital currencies like Bitcoin.

OP, the best way to get people to pay attention to something is to first start paying attention to it yourself. If you yourself are not already invested in bitcoin, then maybe you should take a far look at it before telling other people how they should be investing in bitcoin. It will give you credibility with those that you speak with, and what's more, this method might even introduce you to the concept of blockchain technology, which is moving toward being the newest revolution in the world of finance. You should have a complete understanding of why you are using bitcoin in the first place. You need to educate yourself thoroughly, on the cause why bitcoin was created, and why there is such a demand for it.

Most people are passionate about the work they do and the cryptocurrency community is particularly passionate about their work. But there is another, simpler reason why this community can be especially unpleasant: digital currency has a lot of value, which means that shady characters are attracted to it. When there is money at stake, people can become more hostile.
In summation, the cryptocurrency community does have some bad elements and growing pains, but it is no worse than any other growing industry. There are still plenty of very smart and caring people in this space, but you will have to do your research to find them. It is also important to remember that in a market as unregulated as cryptocurrency, there will always be many con artists and fraudsters who use the popularity of bitcoin and other digital currencies as a way to line their pockets by lying or creating schemes that are built on lies.

@OP would you mind answering what jema1633 posted? also, I looked at this link https://www.nolimit365.com/tcompanyV3.php. it mentioned there that your casino is "approved and regulated by the laws of Curaçao" would you mind clarifying this? I mean how are you approved and regulated by the Curaçao laws if your casino do not use their license? I agree, it seems strange that they claim Nolimit365.com is a company founded in 2009, when its domain was only registered 30 days ago. If they are talking about a parent company other than the one that's listed in "About us", then it would make sense for them to mention the name of their own company; not just post generic bullshit. Also, it would be good to see their explanation about the Curacao license, if there is one at all.

Are you comparing Bitcoin to altcoins? If so, you are comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin is not in competition with any other cryptocurrency in the same way that a BMW is not in competition with a Hyundai. Sure, they are both cars, but they serve different purposes.
Bitcoin stands alone as the original, first-ever cryptocurrency and will likely be used as a means of exchange for many years to come. While there are many altcoins out there today, none of them can compare to Bitcoin in terms of size and scope, let alone its security.

AFAICS, payments go through coinbazaar first, then it's forwarded to an address that belongs to the seller... Am I right? - If the answer to that is "YES", then labeling it as a direct payment in the disclaimer part isn't an accurate representation of the situation in question!
No, the bitcoins come to the merchant wallet(which is coinbaazar bitcoin wallet which a user gets when they sign up just like in any other platform) . So person is authorize to do anything , transfer to any other wallet if they want, or sell bitcoins on coinbaazar or keep hold of it , or convert bitcoins to bitcoin gift card and can redeem anytime of the year which they are launching within sometime .. But in that case SFR10 is right. All payments are received on wallets that you manage (you own the private keys) and merchants get a custodial wallet service from you. This means that merchants have to trust you to keep their money safe. Right?

~ I am 95% sure that Coinplay is being operated by the 1x group. While the brand is pretty new, they might try to keep it clean. I was about to start testing this casino, but right now I decided to skip it. They are changing the T&C on the go, trying to hide the connection with the 1xbit brand, which is already a red flag to me.
I think you are right. Besides the similarities you found, from what I can tell, it's clear that both websites were generated by the same software. The fact that they have identical HTML coding is a strong indication that they were created by the same person. And this is important because it shows that the owner of this site is likely someone who has been involved with 1xBit/1xBet. For more evidence of this, check out the HTML code on each page: Moreover, both websites share a main CSS file with identical code. https://coinplay.partners/public/styles.1542de2bccf502eda2a6.css https://partners1xbit.com/public/styles.1542de2bccf502eda2a6.css
The same CSS is also used by "1xpartners.com" https://1xpartners.com/public/styles.1542de2bccf502eda2a6.css
I think it is safe to say that they were created by the same people. In fact, I believe that the two websites are part of an entire network, namely 1xpartners.com, that are all connected.
