Before this long awaited document was released, many economic analyst has predicted a crackdown on the crpto industry.
This could still happen [unfortunately]! Instead of becoming a problem to Bitcoin, Joe Biden became a solution, as he has ordered federal agencies to dig into many of the problems that crypto created as it became more mainstream, including its role in money laundering and terrorist groups.
I wouldn't be so sure about something that could change quickly [looks can be deceiving]! He wants the government to study ways to make crypto innovation more “responsible,” reducing any negative climate impacts. In other words, they're just going to use that as an excuse to get more from miners while doing little to nothing for the latter part! Rather, he’s calling on the government to place “urgency” on research and development of a potential CBDC. Such things are never going to be good news for BTCitcoin [regardless of its inability to directly affect BTCitcoin]. He is just concerned about the general adoption of cryptocurrency not reaching out to those in Russia. So that they will not evade the sanctions.
Apart from leading to collateral damages [e.g. innocent users], realistically, they're not going to succeed completely [even with the help of other countries]! |

It's a shame I can't order this beautiful piece of art due to various reasons [e.g. my current location and probably its price  ], but I'm curious to know how you integrated each of the pages to the side panels? On the " second image" it seems to be engraved, but on the other images, it appears in a different way. |

They have more ''important'' things to do, like adding more shitcoins, nft crap support, making videos and paying celebrities to shill.
If they can't even fix bloody version X for months, how can we expect from them to support their old devices.
That's a valid argument [regardless of some of its issues not being software and firmware related] and I'm already feeling sorry for those who have it. I'm curious, did they announced it officially? Did they said it during announcement livestream?
Yes, it was during a live stream:
While I was scrolling through the Nano S Plus topic in their subreddit, I stumbled upon a feature that's not available in the Nano X: The ability to " run your own apps on the S+" - Personally, I have mixed feelings about it! |

Could this truly be Satoshi's wallet?
Nope, not at all. I believe that Satoshi is smart enough to not touch all those dust inputs in his address; yet, the transaction has touched some 20 almost worthless inputs. That's a very good point, but the same thing can also be used to trick us [having said that, because of the other output I still don't think it was him/her or them]. What spurries me that who ever is behind that wallet did not move the funds when bitcoin was 20,000$ in 2017, didn't move when bitcoin was twice over 60,000$ , so what the point in moving the coins when bitcoin is under 40,000$ ?
Perhaps the user in question just wanted to move his/her BTCitcoins into a better or rather more secure wallet, as opposed to exporting the private keys or other stuff... |

Remember, we are talking about a wallet which you are using for paying your daily expenses. We may not have such a city, but there's nothing wrong to imagine a world with BTC as global currency.
So please, which one and why?
There's no doubt a hardware wallet is the most secure option, but when you flash/display it in public, you might become a target of those that are around you [usually, the ones who have it, use it for significant amounts (I do know using passphrases counts as a solution, but still...)]! Of course, the more money you want to keep on it, the more it makes also sense to not get the cheapest HW.
You have a point, but depending on the type of features you actually use and how buggy they might be, sometimes that doesn't apply to certain brands and models [e.g. Ledger Nano X vs Trezor Model One]. |

I don't understand; you mean 'screen protector' in the sense of that it doesn't have great viewing angles so people can't peer from the side? I don't see this as an issue on such a small screen (having used it) and you don't even notice the bad viewing angles at all. So I don't think the reason for going IPS was to make it readable from a shallow angle of view, moreso for just a better image. I'm not sure it's easy enough to see on pictures or online videos, but the v1 screen was pretty dim and in general the image was a bit weird. Not sure how to describe it really. It looks like this image here, which appears to be a render from their website, but this gradient from a grey to a light grey / white background is there as well as the small little squiggly lines all over the screen (zoom in). https://foundationdevices.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/FD-1842_V05_WebsiteRender_01_7-10-2020.73_edit-scaled.jpgYes, I believe you interpret the first part correctly, but I wasn't implying that they went with an IPS screen because of its great viewing angles... I've read a few comments/blog posts in the past about users who travel with a hardware wallet and I've personally seen a couple of users that were using certain hardware wallets in a public place [SMH], so a screen with bad viewing angles would've been better for such users [I do know such situations probably doesn't apply to most of us, but still] and on top of that, it could've been cheaper [I guess I really want its price to come down, so I can afford it]. Interesting!  I mean I think I'll get accustomed to it. I just tend to prefer more plain, low-key designs; in general from a company perspective, it's also a less risky choice. In the end it comes down to the features, usability and security to be honest.I totally agree with the latter part [IMO, the upcoming version justifies its premium price tag, as opposed to the previous version]. |

IPS screen sounds good;
This is one of the few things I actually don't like about it... It's overkill and considering what the nature of the product in question is, I would've preferred a TN screen instead [in a way, it could've acted as a privacy screen protector]. -Let's you send, receive, and "boost" bitcoin transactions. Does anybody know if the highlighted part means their app [Envoy] comes with a built-in TX accelerator or it's just a feature like RBF and CPFP? Envoy offers the ability to connect to your own Bitcoin node, cutting out Foundation as the middleman. Me gusta 
For what it's worth, I really like the design of their Batch 2! |

However, I have made sure to inform people who used BTC to make a purchase about the BitcoinTalk Forum and how it is a good place to learn and read on the topic of cryptocurrencies in general.
That's a good start, but considering that there are a lot of ongoing scams in some parts of our forum and the fact that scams aren't moderated in here, I'd suggest doing something along the lines of what @ kryptqnick posted, but instead of those, put a BTCitcoin signage at the checkout counter with a QR code that goes to the " whitepaper" or one of its " local versions". |

Do you know that you can detect what a project team have in plan for their projects by just asking them questions on telegram group?
You have a point, but why ask questions when you can find most of the answers by digging a bit deeper? Nowadays, we have access to a lot of various free tools that could help in detecting scam projects. the first red flag you should be looking out for when doing this is the team trying to avoid answering some questions,
I'm pretty sure we had scammers in the past who were answering questions in a convincing way [unfortunately, looks can be deceiving]! |

First flag: Fake ongoing trading competition with the promise of large amounts of Ethereum as a reward [https://www.top-trade-x.com/help/trading-competition]
I managed to find the exact same content on a few more websites that have the same template, favicon and etc... |

It's actually a bit more than €79. When you factor in shipping and VAT, the total price is closer to €90. The shop is showing me €88,52 if I wanted to order it to my current location.
You're right, but it seems that they're offering " free shipping" to those who order more than a single unit [only the Nano X has free shipping on single orders]. - I do know it's not going to benefit everyone, but it could count as a workaround [except for the VAT part].I hope they won't stop maintaining it, fixing bugs, and security issues if they pop up.
Judging by how "ian" responded to some of the questions yesterday, I don't think they'd be offering the above things for more than a year after they stop its production [I hope I'm wrong]. |

I think nasa last paragraphs ng article sa OP yung sagot, maybe the recent BSP-AFI Virtual Knowledge Exchange Program-3 (KX3) na just conducted last March 1 and nag trigger sa BSP na gumawa ulit ng hakbang para mag announce ng pilot testing sa nasabing proyekto.
Salamat pero that still doesn't answer the question kung bakit biglang nag iba ang stance nila while they've been denying it for the past few months. In the long run talagang magkaroon ng CBDC kasi ang ibang mga nasyon ay ganito rin ang ginagawa, we can't deny this fact.
That's true, but that doesn't mean na lahat ng papasok sa pilot stage, papasa... We already have a bunch of canceled and inactive ones at hindi ako magtataka to see the same thing happening to CBDCPh dahil mukhang nira-rush nila ito. |

79 euros is not a bad price for pre-ordering, and it appears that ''insider'' seller from Iran was wrong about his price predictions he made some time ago Exactly, I think it's a fair price... I completely forgot about the user [with multiple accounts] who had internal sources I am not going to buy this device, but I can't wait to see first comments and complains on ledger reddit channel.
Maybe I got everything wrong and this new device is going to work perfectly fine.
I think I'm going to change my mind again and get one of these, but I still prefer to not order/pre-order it directly [this may sound weird, but the only other option for me, is to get it from one of Trezor's official resellers that also sells Ledger products]. Can you tell me who said something like this will happen, and was my prediction wrong or what?
@ iancr mentioned it earlier in their " live stream [from 5:55 to 7:01]" and you correctly predicted it My next prediction is that ledger assholes are going to make old nono S unusable for anything in near future.
Unfortunately, I think that'd be the outcome as well. |

Update:Ledger just announced " Nano S Plus Genesis Edition [you can still watch the recorded version]" a couple of hours ago and surprisingly, it's just 79€ instead of what two of their official resellers were showing " at the time"!
Btw, Nano S will be discontinued when their stock finishes at some point in either the middle or end of this year!

We'll surely add at least the registered country and founding year, this indeed might be easier to get and help in understand where / how old these companies are!
IMO, it makes more sense to list the year they actually started offering such services, as opposed to the year those companies were founded...
In addition to other suggestions, the only thing that's missing is another column for restricted countries... You could either have a simple "yes/no with a hover effect that shows the list" or a filter that shows only the available options based on the selected country. |

Ano sa tingin nyu? Long term effect mabuti ba tong CBDCs sa Pinas?
It depends... Maganda ang impact nito sa government as a whole, pero hindi ito makakabuti sa end users in the long run dahil lalaki lalo ang influence nila sa atin [e.g. any time pwede nilang i-freeze ang wallets natin]. - I wonder bakit biglang nag "U-turn" sila? |

I can also ship first to my mailbox service then have them forward to your address, thus completely hiding your identity and purchase information from the Matrix.
Option Two: We have it shipped first to our Virtual PO Box service, then have our service forward it to you. We do not handle the package personally. This is the most private option but obviously costs more. Are you using a service that's limited to US-based addresses or does it offer international addresses as well [preferably from a European country]? - The reason why I asked the above question is because of the limits imposed on direct shipments from the US into certain countries [basically, I'm wondering if it can be used as a workaround?].As the service grows we will evaluate ways to improve confidence such as linking to a third party review site and escrow services. Until then you are taking a risk. I have mixed feelings about "third-party review sites" since those can easily be faked, but I think you should consider integrating escrow services from the beginning. |

Why did you use neutral feedback instead of negative? I could believe someone came up with "Little Mouse" as a username, and added a number because the name was taken already. But considering they use the same (small) local board as you, I would say they deserve a red Imposter tag.
I totally agree with LoyceV! Normally, I would've given him/her the benefit of the doubt, but because of the highlighted part and the fact that Little Mouse's negative feedback isn't reflecting on that account [by default], I'll be tagging it as well! - Despite what @Little Mouse10 said on his/her last post [Google translate version], nothing is stopping that user from suddenly coming back and continuing from where he/she left off!
The following thread might come in handy in the future: Similar Usernames Attempting To Scam - Defaults Please Tag |

@SFR10. Also, knowing how corrupt the government officials and regulators are in less developed countries, I reckon much of them can be bribed to let some illegal businesses continue with their operations.
You have a point, but that doesn't mean it guarantees them to be on the safe side [it's just a temporary fix and as soon as the government officials/inspectors change, they're back to square one]. i think crypto will be not illegal if crypto miner pay tax  just like the casino. If the tax was just on the goods, it would've not been a big problem but with the proposal to increase the electricity rates by roughly 335% [for miners], it'd no longer be a lucrative business for most miners in there. BTW, I didn't even include in the equation all of the possible issues with acquiring licenses... |

Mayroong bang figure na approximate based sa experience ng iba dito?
Ang nakikita kong madalas is yung mga six-figure earners ang nagkakaroon ng issue pero based sa ibat-ibang Filipino crypto/investments subreddits, may ilang users din na na-freeze ang account nila kahit maliliit yung amounts... In other words, they could freeze our accounts for other reasons as well [e.g. source, behavior ng account holder at etc...]. |
