Blink twice if you're human. Your post reads like a derailed Markov chain. Can you restate what you were trying to say?
By any chance, are you talking about possibility of turing-complete script for Bitcoin?
P.S. i think this post was written by AI
LOL. That was my thought. I see lots of English words in mostly grammatically and semantically correct sentences, but expressing no meaning whatsoever. |

Also, what was the longest period of time you had to wait for a confirmation?
There are currently hundreds of low-fee transactions that have been waiting for a month to be confirmed. |

I updated the graph. It now shows the recent increasing volatility. Despite the recent volatility, the trend is still falling.

Still no scientific proof against the existence of God. Simply play-babies' theory stories and mumblings, as expected from jokers who believe in the religion of science, rather than understanding science.
True, perhaps, but lack of proof of the non-existence (or existence) of a god is not evidence of the existence (or non-existence) of a god. Also, they are not the same. Compare: Theist: God exists. Atheist: What's your proof? Theist: Bible, appeal to authority, flawed logic, etc. Atheist: Not good enough. Atheist: God does not exist. Theist: What's your proof? Atheist: Sorry, you're right. I can't prove it. Theist: Aha! God has no intelligence - god just is.
Simply making a claim that something exists is not evidence of its existence. You'll have to do better. Plus, if a god exists but that's all, then what good is that? |

NFTs have some utility, but I think what we are seeing now is just another version of CryptoKitties.

When creating an altcoin base on bitcoin you generate a genius block private key which controls that chain. I assume it's the same for Bitcoin
What is a "genesis block private key", what is it used for, and how is it generated? What exactly do you mean by "controls that chain"? |

That's a scam. 3. Paid accelerators. But they are overly expensive ( pushtx.btc.com shows 85$ you'd have to pay, as estimation )
Accelerators that are not offered by major pools are scams. These are the only pools that can accelerate a bitcoin transaction with any success: - Poolin
- F2Pool
- AntPool
- Huobi.pool
- ViaBTC
- SlushPool
- BTC.TOP
- WAYI.CN
- SBI Crypto
- OKExPool
- EMCD Pool
- NovaBlock

People talk about bitcoin price manipulation as if it is an established fact, yet there is not a single example.
Somebody please show me a documented example of bitcoin price manipulation. Note that simple buying and selling, and rapid changes in price by themselves are not examples of price manipulation.

"Bitcoin is 100% faith" is a meaningless statement. It is nothing more than an admission of ignorance.

Ok so suppose I buy a laptop from newegg.com and pay with bitcoin. Is newegg going to send me a 1099-K form next year (as an exchange would)? Or should I manually add it myself to the 8949 form?
Nothing is sent to the IRS. You must track it yourself. |

I was dumb years ago and wrote a seed phrase down, but with no info about what the wallet is.
It's a 16 word seed where the 13th word is custom. My hunch is a weird HD wallet on blockchain.info, but I don't see where I can recover with 16 words. I've reached out to their support. It could also be metamask or myethereum wallet, but looks like those don't work. MEW didn't work. I'm positive it is not a hardware wallet.
I don't think there is much crypto on this wallet (somewhere between $0 and $1k at 2017 prices), but I will give the person who helps me solve this mystery 10%.
Did you try this? https://login.blockchain.com/wallet/forgot-passwordYour phrase might be a legacy blockchain.info seed and this is where would you recover your account using it. |

I'm not selling any bitcoins to the merchant. I am just paying the merchant with bitcoins directly to buy a product. (the merchant processes my payment through bitpay)
...
So buying something with bitcoins as I explained above is considered "send" right? The bitcoins->USD conversion which is done by bitpay is done at the merchant side right?
No, not taxable.
That is not correct for the U.S. If you used bitcoin by cashing it on an exchange or buying goods and services, you will owe taxes if the realized value (the sale price of bitcoin, for example) is greater than the price at which you acquired the bitcoin. You may have a capital gain that's taxable at either short-term or long-term rates.
That is mostly correct. In the U.S, when you exchange bitcoins for anything, whether it is dollars, goods, or even other coins, that is a taxable event -- a capital gain or a loss. This explains everything: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/frequently-asked-questions-on-virtual-currency-transactions |

Bitcoin is not a stock. So, I guess it doesn't matter what he thinks.

...When it will increase more, what do you think, will the price manipulation be decreased? Or even effected? If we look at the Tesla announcement, it didn’t create huge changes. India may have a ban on crypto, that doesn’t effect the market. So, as we see the increase in mcap, will we see power of manipulation is decreasing?
Before you can say that it will or will not decrease, you have to show that it exists and you have to be able to measure it. |

Elon Musk? I don't think he qualifies. He has done nothing except buy some bitcoins. Putting "#bitcoin" in his twitter bio doesn't count as evangelizing.

There is also brink.dev, a foundation started by John Newbery and Mike Schmidt to fund Bitcoin developers. |

I have an Electrum wallet which contains addresses originally created in multibit. In that wallet there are no change addresses.
My question is firstly - where do I find documentation on precisely how electrum deals with change?
My specific questions are:
* will it add change addresses to my wallet?
* can I use one of my existing addresses as a change address?
Electrum generates change addresses in a way similar to the way that it generates receiving addresses. Are you interested in the details? Yes, you can list all the change addresses - click on addresses tab and scroll to the bottom. Yes, but there is no good reason to. |

A guy by telegram gave me proof hours before the coin that was going to be pumped, which was VIB, which was the admin of BIG PUMP SIGNAL, and I paid him 0.20 btc for the information, and today he has blocked me.
You paid $8000 for that information? Consider yourself lucky that the person wasn't actually running a pump-and-dump scheme. You would have lost a lot more than that. As for getting the money back or getting law enforcement involved, I don't think it will be feasible considering how little information you have. Sorry. In my country there's a saying that could be translated to : "You only fall once in scams. You fall twice only if you want". ("Shaky" translation but the meaning is there).
In the U.S., a similar quote is "Fool me once -- shame on you. Fool me twice -- shame on me." |

Let's say there's 0.1 bitcoin on an exchange. Someone bids $1M for it. That's $10M / bitcoin. If supply continues to shrink, for example, to 0.01. That's $100M / bitcoin. Infinite price is possible.
$100M per bitcoin is not infinite, and even if the supply shrinks to a single satoshi, which would imply a price of $10 trillion per bitcoin in your world, that is still not infinite. Here's a more grounded example: Let's say it's 1914 and there's only one known passenger pigeon left in the world. How much would someone pay for one more? I'll let you look up the answer, but I'll tell you now that it is far short of infinity. Furthermore, now that there are 0 passenger pigeons in the world, what is the price of 1? Well, there are proposals to recreate passenger pigeons through genetic engineering and selective breeding. In your terms, supply is 0, and demand is positive, but do you really believe that someone will pay an infinite amount for that one passenger pigeon? Your model is clearly broken. |

... But it is patently obvious that I have come up against a stone wall of distrust and simple unbelief.
An anonymous person with no track record makes an outrageous claim that they are unable to support. What do you expect? |
