Although we don't know if this wallet created or if it was randomly hardcoded without any private key, since the this 50BTC can't be spent. But for sure we know any coins sent to this address will be frozen forever.
We don't know what is the private key of that address and who is owning it. It might be lost forever or it is still in hands of satoshi or someone else. We don't know it so the assumption that it is lost forever is not true. I'm wondering why is this address still receiving transactions from random people like almost every day. Is it not like burning your bitcoins?
Only sender knows it. What we know is it makes noise. That can be one of possible reasons. Some of other reasons are mentioned by o_e_l_e_o.

So in the end, it is all about NFT. It is a good scam effort to shill and try to sell that NFT at as most expensive price as possible. Who will readily to buy that NFT? Newbies or experienced investors? I believe if there is a person who buy it, it would be a newbie. satoshi won't publicly appear for any reason because it breaks the original reason why satoshi decided to leave the community, to make it totally decentralized. No convincing reason to appear again. Hacks on accounts of satoshi is not terrible. The most terrible thing is anyone can move Bitcoin from wallets which owned by satoshi. It see the probability for it is almost 0.

Eventually, most of these projects that started before Metaverse will try to migrate or integrate it into their ecosystem. I didn't even know that some of the tokens I have are already under the Metaverse category on CMC. Anyway, VRA could be something that could explode by next year.
Metaverse are things they promised that their projects will be built to reach to Metaverse. It is promise and we know in crypto promise mostly fails in the end. Metaverse is a big trend with participation of Facebook, Vitalik, EA, etc. Giants are joining Metaverse so tiny fishes try to take advantage of the hot trend and launch their Metaverse projects. I don't think more than 10% of them will reach to Metaverse in the end. EA calls NFT and blockchain games 'the future of our industry'

If you can stake in order to increase number of your token, why do you not stake it?
There are multiple reasons to consider: - Lock time: it means your coins will be locked in a specific period. - General condition of market: if it is bullish and still have chance to continue growing, it's good for staking. If it is a beginning of bearish period, it's bad because you might receive with more tokens but total value will become less than your initial capital when you need to sell it. If you have 50% more tokens from staking but price is divided by 2, it does not make any profit from staking.

So you just created a token that is named after the Dog of Elon Musk in the hope that he would make a tweet on christmas that shows his dog. Wow, what a great use-case and what a great reason to launch a crypto project. The tweet that Elon Musk made was not about your token it was juts about his dog, but i have to admit hat was a clever plan, that you have pulled of there, because a few people might think that he really tweeted about your coin.
I implied about it. Market makers can observer Elon Must Twitter and his tweets. If they see any funny tweets that can be used for creating a new meme coin, to shill their projects, they will do it. Elon Musk is not responsible for money people spent for meme coins. Investors are responsible for their capital, their decisions and they are fully responsible for such things. They are matured enough to be responsible for things they decide to do. Investment, trading, gambling, gaming, whatever.

Looks like he thinks he still has that power to shake the price in the market when it's all nothing now when he says something about bitcoin. Looks like this guy wanted to promote his nonsense coin by tweeting those simple words yet enough to give Doge a pump in short days. Just like the other celebrities or influencers who always criticized bitcoins, this guy too is nothing but nonsense who doesn't need the attention of the real investors because all he does is talk about things that haven't even been proven or not the actual fact.
People give Elon Musk power and market makers abuse tweets of Elon Musk to play their pump and dump games. We can not verify that whether Elon Musk has investments in meme coins he tweets about. It is very easy to understand and explain that he tweets about them because he has investments with them. However eve he does not have such investment, market makers will do wisely and fastly enough to take advantage of his tweets to trigger their games. It is like Omicron, does the variant has anything to do with Omicron in crypto market? It does not but fact is, we have massive pump and dump game with Omicron.

If it is not Elon Musk, it is only a funny tweet and has no effect. Can we verify that whether Elon Musk has a pet namely Floki? Can we accept this tweet as a funny one from Elon with his pet? Personally I don't find Elon Musk tweet to invest in altcoins. People who rely on Elon Musk's tweet for their investment, they put their capital on hands of others. They are accepting very high risk from both sides, coin or token and Elon Musk. The destiny, happy or sad, they will have to accept it.

Bigger risk playing with NFT as collected or make NFT as investment assets, I think many people try to buy it just hype promo and we don't know later what happen with NFT still exist or not. How ever play to earn game right now many scam and just AXIE as play to earn game still paid but with lower value, all player just earn about 200 slp under 4$ and waste almost 3 until four hours to playing advantage and arena game. I miss from all NFT game and better investing with coin only than have buy NFT as collected or investment assets for the future.
You can consider PlaytoEarn like investment into crypto mining. Lots of factors will affect your investement in PlaytoEarn. Uncertainty of general market which does seriously affects token of PlaytoEarn projects. Uncertainty about capability to develop projects, products and maintain good and sustainable tokenomics in-game. A good game in design does not result in a successful PlaytoEarn project because if it has unsustainable tokenomics, it will heart late investors. Early investors earn most and the later people join, the less rewards they can get but the bigger risk they have to take.

this is indeed a problem, because the GOLD TOKEN is still standing on the Ethereum platform with an extraordinarily expensive gas fee. If you can build on other platforms such as BSC, Polygon and other cheaper networks, it might be a consideration. DEX or marketplace may be upgraded to be able to bridge on every network.
It is asked and suggested multiple times but GOLD team emphasized that they would like to wait for ETH 2.0 with their belief that transaction fee will be much cheaper. I think they are aware of other chains like BSC, Polygon, Go chain, Fantom chain etc. but they have their solid plans for it and we only can wait for ETH 2.0. Next move will be decided after ETH 2.0 but now just waiting and I think if the team have solid plans, they have own reasons behind their plans. We can not change their plans with our suggestion. The most probable reason is ETH is a very big chain and its health, security, audit are very good. Perhaps the team don't want to take risk at any level with other chains.

AFAIK with sovryn you are swapping BTC for some random token called SOV, and they put that into some smart contract. Doesn't seem amazing to me.
AFAIK with mintlayer you are swapping BTC for some random token called MLT, and they put that into some smart contract. Doesn't seem amazing to me.
You can not keep your Bitcoin or any coin in an airgapped wallet and earn interests. If you want to earn interest, your coins must have some sort of roles and you have to accept risk and interest you get in return. If you want something totally safe, ok it is airgapped wallet, and forget about interest.

Jack accussed non-decentralization of Ethereum so it would be worse for Binance Smart Chain because validators on BSC are limited and much less than that of Ethereum.
Dogecoin is almost community coin and even almost no significant developments in last many years, it still survives and I think Elon Musk saw chances to be a biggest influencer with Dogecoin. He stepped in and did his plan.
Elon is smart enough to aware that he can not have such power with Dogecoin or Ethereum

Wouldnt it be great for the holdlers if you could earn interest on your bitcoin and not give up your keys?
It is like feature from DeFi and I think we have some DeFi for Bitcoin. I know some DeFi for Bitcoin. Sovryn: https://www.sovryn.app/MintLayer: https://www.mintlayer.org/You have controls of your private keys and your Bitcoin and in theory you are safe.

For example, in Binance there is a Cross/Isolated margin;
If cross, your balance in your future wallet will be used all and possible to liquidate.
If isolated margin, only the amount you set when opening your trade will be liquidated.
And on Binance, you can only use USDT to deposit in USD-M.
On the other side, FTX Exchange which got a sub-accounts feature if you want to isolate your fund and you will transfer a fund to a particular sub-account if you only want specific funds to liquidate since FTX is using cross margin and the same leverage per sub-account
So they serve the same: Isolated collateral or sub-account because liquidation will be on the collateral you use for your trade. In my opinion, sub-account is better because your capital will be in different accounts and it takes more time to move funds between main and sub accounts if you want to do something with margin calls. My preference goes to FTX and sub-account because of better safety for my money. However, I don't like the UI of FTX.

Does "Output 1" mean that there will be a new "Input" for Alice's account?
Output can be an old address or a change address. The latter one (change address) is recommended to use. If you create and use multiple addresses in a single wallet, Output 1 can be use as input or part of inputs for your future transactions. You can use a whole Output 1 or part of it and then you will have another change address as Output 2 from leftover of Output 1.

It is another year, a continuous year after the year 2020, we have good growth of institutional capital flow in Bitcoin market. Microstrategy keeps up their regularly buying with Bitcoin dips. I don't think they buy all dips but yeah in most of dips, they buy discount Bitcoin. We have a first ever nation buys Bitcoin dips, El Salvador. And in late of 2021, days ago, we jumped into a new era with only a bit less than 10% of Bitcoin total supply is available to mine in next 1 century. https://bitcointreasuries.net/

Muskswap has huge community and I know they have three chat groups for communities with 2 full groups (400k members) and a third one with 115k members.
Their communities are huge, very huge. Their website has good design but honestly I did not use any product, feature from Muskswap so I can not share my experience about it.

The only nation makes Bitcoin legal tender is El Salvador. We will have more nations like that sooner or later. However, currently only one nation as far as I know. UAE is a very crypto-friendly nation but no legal tender there so far.
I believe nations in Middle East don't wait for too long to make Bitcoin legal tender. They just observe what El Salvador can do and what are risky solutions from IMF ie. If now big risk, fines against El Salvador, other nations will follow El Salvador and we will have a blossom for crypto.
For now, be realistic, UAE does not have what you asked.

Not related to the cryptopia exchange at all. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) How Cryptopia exchange was hacked and shut down are terrible. I used to store my Cryptopia exchange but I fortunately to moved all my crypto out of that exchange before their hack and shut down. This exchange gave me a real lesson that I heard of but never seriously take it. Not your keys not your coins. If I had not withdraw my fund out, I would have lost it all. Cryptopia film reminds me instantly about Zootopia film and catch my attention to read more in order to understand what it is.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin and it is unique. Other projects can fork from Bitcoin source code and name their projects as Bitcoin ABC XYZ, etc. but it does not make sense to claim their projects are real Bitcoin or better than Bitcoin. Capital ventures, foundations, etc. can name theirs as Bitcoin Trust, Bitcoin Loyal, whatever but it does not mean Bitcoin is responsible for things they are doing in such entities.

Digital plots and land are something on hyped. You can not know when you will be rekted if the trend goes away. It is risky. Metaverse are things for future and technically projects need to be developed more to reach to Metaverse.
Many projects are claiming to be or wanting to be Metaverse but will they succeed with their developments or it's just talk, promise and will vanish in the air in bear market.
I have been in market since 2017 and I can say, in bull market, you have many trends and many promising projects. After that in bear market, most of promising projects will die.
Metaverse trend is big with participation of Facebook but it does not mean all Metaverse projects will succeed. If they fail, land or plots in Metaverse does not worth anything.
