I don't believe this is a threat to Bitcoin. Nothing happened when China banned Bitcoin and launch its digital currency. Rather it would be easier to convert into fiat once the exchange adds digital dollar or fiat. Then we don't need to run for paper money. And the blame for energy consumption isn't new anything.

Are you shilling for Bitgert, I am not familiar with that. But I am not a fan of any meme token, so not for Shiba Inu as well. These are all about the pump dump scheme, with no potential in crypto space at all. If I buy alt nowadays then definitely from the top 10. Lost a lot of money in shit coins previously.

Afaik, connecting wallet doesn't give anyone access to your wallet, any transaction would have to go through you only, unless dapp was given 'approve all' permission.
Often we don't read what is the permission actually and we approved it. Keep in mind hackers are too advanced than us and know all the loopholes. So there must something that they can reveal your seed and how they move funds from all the addresses. The most likely seed would be compromised after a certain period when wallet keeps connect for a long time.

Just keeping your wallet connected to a dapp/website won't do this, you'd also have to click to sign or authorise a transaction too.
I thought the same as you. Also, victims thought the same things. But connect a long time is harmful. According to metamask seed would be compromised this way where you don't need to approve from your wallet. The victim is pretty sure the device hasn't been hacked. If a transaction happens from the device then there should be a history on the wallet. But nothing, only history funds on the chain.

Often we need to connect wallet third-party sites for various reasons. We should always ignore connecting our wallet to an unknown and unsafe site. That's how your wallet would be drained. One of my known person's wallets has been hacked a few days back. Then he contacts Metamask about how it has happened. They said the metamask was connected to a couple of sites for a long time and users didn't disconnect wallets. Hackers took this advantage and take control of full wallets. So funds have been drained from all the addresses. Metamask doesn't disclose which Dapps and how happened.
I learned from him that we shouldn't keep connected any Dapps for a long time. It would drain wallet funds after a certain period. Always disconnect your wallet even if you connect for any reason. Don't just leave it as it is. Hackers have powerful tools to trace you and drain your wallet. Don't give that chance.

Have you ever think how big scams and hacks happen in crypto spaces? Because hackers or scammers use some special tools to hack. So it's not impossible to create a fake wallet file by importing some wallet address without private keys. That's how they could make you a fool. So it's better always stay away from a such deals to save your funds. Don't be greedy.

This isn't new, all centralized banks ask questions once you withdraw a big amount from fiat banks. Yes, of course, Bitcoin doesn't have this issue till you are holding. But you have to convert it in fiat anyway. Very rarely we can use Bitcoin directly for our daily needs. So here sadly we have to use the bank again to cash out our Bitcoin.

Seems you haven't spent time reading forum threads. If you spend time here and be careful then you should discover the gambling section. Even in the not gambling section, you should discover gambling ads all over the forum. Most of the signature camping had been running on the forum accept Bitcoin payments. So you shouldn't worry about that. Just learn more before you proceed and don't forget to choose the right gambling platform. Ask community helps if you need anything.

He is a professional troller. I noticed from [urlhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5391809.msg59673055#msg59673055]this thread [/url]. Also recently saw trolling with Faketoshi. Just leave him and enjoy. Satoshi won't post on the forum he needs to sell 50 Bitcoin lol. See his first topic where he wants to sell 50 Bitcoin here. This is another troll. Do you think don't know how to sell Bitcoin who is the creator? I enjoyed his post lol.

Question to you, why are you curious about Faketoshi? How do you know he will answer your question? I don't want to ask anything Faketoshi. It's because he is a fake person and I am not interested to waste time with him. Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't need to fight hard to prove ownership. He can prove simply at any time.

What's new? These attacks aren't new for Bitcoin. But still, Bitcoin stands strong. It's not possible to move Bitcoin from PoW to PoS. Bitcoin isn't like Ethereum. Because Ethereum has a team who are deciding things and controlling everything as well. But Bitcoin doesn't have a team and miners have to decide. Do you think miners will ever support PoS? I don't think so since they are going to affect it in the first place. Just forget about technical things or how secure PoW is. Miners will never support PoS for Bitcoin.

The ledger isn't yours. Whoever has access to the device along with password or seed has full control of the device. Ledger directly doesn't control Bitcoin sell, they use Coinify to handle buy sell. So you need to read the terms and conditions of Coinify. Its third-party apps partner with Ledger to handle fiat. I am not familiar with the rules to buy and sell from the ledger. I simply use storing my Cryptoasset. If there is something wrong you may use p2p exchange or p2p from Binance. So you may avoid a lot of hassle.

Not safe anyway. I have heard before Binance froze funds when someone claim there was a fraud connection. Binance would ask for proof of how you got the funds. Keep in mind that Binance is a centralized exchange, not a wallet anyway. Keep your fund secure non-custodial wallet or better buy a hardware wallet. So you don't have to fear losing your funds. Don't trust the centralized exchange to hold funds for a long time.

Most cryptocurrency isn't truly decentralized except Bitcoin. So no matter whether it's PoS or PoW. We need to save gas fees. I don't like too high gas fees to control my tokens. I disagree with OP, we can't all it fully centralized just for PoS, but it's not truly decentralized which hasn't ever. So nothing new to be honest.

Can you please share more details, we need to understand what exactly are you looking for. Even though I am not familiar with what is Bitcoin flashing, sounds are new to me but still curious. Just make sure you aren't going to be deceived anyway. A lot of scammers around us will try to grab your funds. Don't be greedy and share with us more info to get a proper answer.

Great initiative. I have to say it's a win-win situation for both. You can make some money also your customer would take advantage of quick cash out instead of hassle. Although it's a good initiative but always make sure the transaction is confirmed before cashing out. There is a risk involved in double-spending. Train very well your salesman, so they won't make mistakes.

How may government accumulate total supply if sellers don't sell? Government can't force anyone to sell and people aren't stupid to leave Bitcoin when the government starts to accumulate. Have you thought about what will be the price to accumulate the total supply of Bitcoin? What they will do by investing such a big amount where there will no users in case they accumulate all the Bitcoin. Instead of that, they might launch a new coin. So this won't happen ever where Bitcoin is a decentralized currency.

I am not much tech guy but most likely it's a matter of a smart contract where users can connect the wallet to complete the transaction. Bitcoin doesn't have such functionality to deploy the smart contract. So it's unnecessary to create a wallet like metamask where you can't connect the wallet. Likely you may create it just as a regular wallet. Do you think this idea just came to your mind? I don't think, there are a lot of dev would think if it was possible.

Mistakes could happen when doing manual transactions. So depends on how they handle user's funds. But again, this mistake shouldn't happen on such a big exchange. Whether it's true or not traders will lose faith if users are affected due to these mistakes. But I don't think it's a matter of hurting users BTW.

I agree with examplens, technically they are burst posting. Simply leave a blank post then they write at the same time all the posts. Even you may find plagiarism from such users if you do a deep investigate. That's why managers should read the quality of the post during selection. Anyway, I don't think it's against forum rules but definitely, it should be against campaign rules. I have seen some campaign managers don't accept the edited post. So it's a better solution IMO. Just report to the manager.
