Not really. Crypto currencies (bitcoin) isn't really illegal in many countries. Only just few countries decided to ban the usage of crypto currencies. Most of them are underdeveloped countries that has no proper framework to regulate crypto currencies. Hence, they put a ban so that people don't use it for corruption (even though their government are the corrupted ones) or any illegal activities. But people still use it over there since the government has no way to track them. Look at Nigeria. Central Bank issued a ban. People still do p2p  trading and yet no one faced any trouble. They will eventually lift those bans once they get a proper understanding of how crypto currencies work.

Just hold bitcoin for long term and you will be earning profits passively. You literally have to do nothing. Just make sure you keep your wallets safe and secure. Keep holding until you reach your desire profit goal. Once you reach your goal, take your profit and reinvest or keep adding slowly. If you are holding altcoins that can be staked, you can stake them and earn passively. Make sure its a coin that you can actually stake using your own wallet. Some exchanges mislead people by using the word "Stake". Not all coins can be staked. Even if they can be, don't stake using an exchange. Its risky and you end up giving too much power to those exchange.

You should keep in mind that USDT isn't fully backed by fiat US dollars (as far as I know). They used to say they had a dollar for every tether, but few months ago they released a report which shows that only around 3% of tether is backed by "cash". Rest includes assets and "commercial papers". So if everyone together tries to redeem their tether tokens for US dollar, they very likely won't be able to do so without trouble.
USDC or DAI maybe? Do your own research.

El Salvador didn't make bitcoin a legal tender so that they can make quick gains from the rise. People should stop thinking that bitcoin is only made for making profit by investing in it. If people keeps on using bitcoin as a store of value, we will never see bitcoin being used as a mainstream currency. El Salvador did it because they don't have their own currency. They did it because they saw how easy it is to make cross border transactions with bitcoin. It will make it easier for people to send money back to the country cheap, fast and easily which in turn will help the counties economy to grow.

We don't need  banks for crypto. Adding banks would just make the whole system centralized which is what bitcoin and most of the crypto currencies are completely against. Borrowing money or taking loans in crypto in a decentralized way might be very complicated. I don't think there are currently any projects that offer anything like this. There used to be (not sure if they still exists) centralized platform where users could take loans in crypto. You had to give something else (more in value to protect lenders from volatility) as collateral. A centralized way with a third-party ensuring everything is fair.

Both of them are meme coins. Investing in those coins come with a very big risk. A risk so huge that it might wipe away everything you invested. Dogecoin went up as soon as Elon started showing support for that coin. The price of dogecoin is still high and hasn't crashed back to its previous lows because the dogecoin community is too big and strong. On the other hand, Shiba Inu, another meme coin started to gain popularity (out of trend/hype) and the community is growing. Shib has its own DEX and has some use case, though offering nothing new. And if you go to their reddit thread, you will see people just talking about holding and getting rich. So you know what's going to happen when the price go up... people are going to dump it to collect their profit. So if you are willing to take the risk of losing everything, you can try investing in those meme coins.

Make a proper thread on the scam accusation section. Make sure you provide enough proof to back your claims. I don't think "hot wallet" being empty counts as scamming people. As long as they are processing withdrawals, then it's fine. You can say that they are misleading their users by saying that they have "instant withdrawal" even though its not (according to you). Are you sure they do this quite often? Or are you just upset because you lost your profit/coins while waiting for them to refill their hot wallet? Hot wallets can't always be full.

You mean Elon? Uhh.. we have been seeing influential people manipulating the market from the very beginning. And what makes you think he was actually manipulating the market? Are you talking about Tesla adding and removing bitcoin support? They had their reason to remove it. Are you talking about Elon and Doge? Maybe he really is interested in Dogecoin.
Who is this everyone you are talking about?
China isn't doing shit to the price. China has no affect on the market right now. Whatever damage they tried to do to the market, has already happened months/years ago and the price has already recovered (in fact not affected at all this time) from it. And no, who told you that the government and other financial institution are stopping bitcoin from reach ATH?

Why are people so obsessed with crypto (bitcoin) replacing fiat currency? Do we really need them to replace fiat currency? Can't they both be used together? Bitcoin will never replace fiat currency unless somehow the government manages to make the whole bitcoin network somewhat centralized which I doubt will ever happen. At best we can see a new centralized government issued stable currency that might replace fiat.

It's easy to use. You have control over everything. You can easily track all your transactions and lets not forget, all transactions are public. You don't have to go through a lot of paper works and you skip all the inconveniences that you have to face when using a third-party centralized financial institution (banks). Users can send or pay right away without having to go through multiple random checks. So many reasons why businesses should start accepting bitcoin as payment.
Don't forget, the price can drop too!

Paying 10 USD in fees and your transaction not being included in the next 26 blocks? Are you sure you paid that much fee? The network isn't very congested right now. The fee shouldn't be that high. You are probably doing something wrong. The fees are very reasonable right now. Wait till you see how crazy the confirmation time and the fees become when the network goes under heavy load. If you are doing regular small transactions and you can't afford to pay up to a dollar, then try LN or switch to some other altcoins that have very low fees.

1. Projects can create a "fake" team with excellent academic achievements. Make sure to know that the person actually exists. On other hand, just because they worked in google or facebook doesn't mean they are going to create the best project.

2. Lol twitter followers can be bought. There are projects that are doing very good with small communities. Don't overlook those.

3. There can be good projects that are built over other networks.

4. This one is the most important one. We don't need new projects that has nothing new to offer.

It's not going to happen in 10 years. Maybe after few decades, but not anytime soon. And don't expect a decentralize crypto currency to replace fiat. The government will never let that happen. Probably we will see a centralized government issue crypto currency that will be integrated with the current banking system which might replace the fiat currency. Then again, we don't actually need a centralized crypto currency.  Decentralized crypto currencies even if they don't replace fiat currency, they will be used together concurrently.

Do your own research. Ask yourself first. How long are you will to hold? I mean is it going to be a long term investment? Are you will to take huge risk or are you willing to play safe? If you want to play safe, then go for coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and maybe Litecoin. If you are willing to risk, try coins like ADA, SOL or maybe one of those NFT gaming tokens. Make a list of coins that you find interesting and start learning about those. Choose some from there. But don't forget, invest only what you can afford to lose.

If you are willing to risk it, then go ahead. The price already went up by 300% in just two days. There were people that were holding since the last all time high. So eventually they along with others will start dumping their coins causing the price to crash. It's already going down right now. Remember, its a meme coin with no certain future (so was dogecoin). If you are willing to risk  and can afford taking the risk, then go ahead. Or else invest somewhere better.

Lol, you can't get everyone to "HODL". Even if everyone does hold with you and the price goes up, you can anticipate a massive crash coming soon. People were holding till 100k. Once the price has reached that point, most of the people would be selling their bitcoin to take their profits. This will cause a massive dip. So instead of seeing such insane/massive dips, its better the way it is right now - some people holding, some people selling.

Price of the coin would start crashing. Others will take the opportunity to buy it cheap. Price will then recover and the cycle will keep on going. On other hand, if everyone starts to sell, then the price would crash and then eventually reach to zero.

Why? They help keep the network secure and process your transaction. You should learn about mining.

Someone probably sold your data. Just change your number.

Did you know that fiat currency also isn't backed by any physical asset like Gold. Then why do you believe in fiat currency? Literally the government can print as much as fiat currency as they want (but they won't). Then why does it have a value? If you compare fiat with bitcoin, you will see that Bitcoin makes even more sense to have some value than fiat. Do some more research. If you are convinced, then invest. Or else don't.

You just said SOL will outperform ADA soon. So I guess you already got your desired "best" altcoin for long term investment? If you are looking to play safe, then go for ETH and hold it long term. Rest of the altcoins have their own risk. If you are looking for trending altcoins, then try SOL, ADA, DOT and maybe Algo (Do your own research. Don't invest if you aren't aware of the risks involved).
I have heard a new DEX demo was released where they were able to solve the UTXO and concurrency issue.

1. Not going to happen. The best we can see is that banks accepting bitcoins and making it a part of their system (in a centralized way unfortunately).

2. Inevitable. But that doesn't mean that they will completely replace man-power. Someone will still have to look after those Robotic system.

3. Don't think so.

4. You mean online bookstores? Or physical stores? If it's the latter, then no they won't. Physical stores will still exist.

5. Hotels will never be replaced. Maybe we will see an integration between hotels and AirBnb. There are hotels that provide facilities that airbnb can't provide.
