Props to you for putting up with the bullshit, but I'm personally done with trying to fight these types of cases. Some people simply just don't want their minds changed. I'll just allocate my investments in a way that I can be personally comfortable even if bitcoin doesn't pump in 5 years.

Yea, they're bandage solutions, but I don't think SMS is the solution. I think increase in internet access is still the solution — maybe through typical internet service providers, or through something like Elon Musk's Starlink. |

Alternatives of offline-transfers aside, it's safe to assume that as time goes, internet adoption(or at least the stability and accessibility) on poorer countries will go up as well. Hopefully in parallel to bitcoin/crypto adoption.

He should be ashamed of making such statement. I wonder how He is an Nobel prize winner in Economic science and He still didn't see the significance of cryptocurrency in the year 2018.
He may probably be smart in some aspects of economics and markets, but he definitely has no business in trying to tell people what's great and what's not when talking about technological advancements lmao. |

Assuming that humanity will last more than a million years, it's pretty anti-innovation to think that Bitcoin will be the final form of currency/SoV. There will always be something better; it's just the matter of when. But regardless, if there's anything better, it's definitely not going to be invented in the foreseeable future.

Probably take whatever Elon Musk says about Twitter with a grain of salt. From what I can see, Twitter seems to be his sort of playground knowing how impulsive and experimental he is with concerning platform updates. Definitely not sure if this is the best way of doing things, but it's certainly interesting.

When two authorities are actively with their fuds and potentially launched regulations, both markets likely react with a same direction and we probably will see their coupled connection that won't last forever.
Not really. Regulatory attacks are mostly(probably 90%) thrown towards the cryptocurrency space as the stock/realestate markets are highly regulated already. If anything, regulatory attacks towards the cryptocurrency space is what makes it move nonparallel to the stock markets. |

It's ironic, that in the link that you posted to Jameson Lopp's list of robberies and extortions, that he himself was almost extorted.  But you can avoid such situations by not revealing where you live or your house address. Can't get SWATted if the scammer doesn't even know where to send them. True. People always overlook $5 wrench attacks thinking "meh, chances are it won't happen to me". Unfortunately for Jameson Lopp though — he's a public Bitcoin personality so people would know about him and his bitcoin forever. All he can do is to beef up his personal security. |

It really isn't the first time this happened. Though most of the time — unfortunately, when bitcoin decouples, its on the downside. It's the simple fact that bitcoin is far more sensitive when it comes to news; so positive/negative news tends to be amplified by a lot.

How did you know about Bitcoin in 2016, 2017 and know about those faucets but did not join the forum earlier?
I personally found out about faucets far before I found out about Bitcointalk as well. And guess what? Probably a lot of Bitcoiners today found out about Bitcointalk far later down their path, and maybe a good chunk of them probably haven't heard of Bitcointalk at all. Fun fact: you don't necessarily need to go through Bitcointalk to be a bitcoiner. |

No offense — but how would you even contribute to the forum by posting if you can't even figure out yourself how signature campaigns work? Especially knowing that I don't even know if you know much about bitcoin at all.

Pretty much majority of people? They'll buy at near peak when hype is rampant, then panic sell when the bubble bursts thinking bitcoin is dead.
As for me — once I've learned enough about bitcoin 7 years ago, I remained longterm bullish. What needed fixing on my side was only my allocations as I was almost always over invested; leaving me with very little dry powder when crashes came.

I would never try to convince anybody... I'm a big crypto enthusiast, but i still consider crypto a high risk investment... I wouldn't want to be responsible if they'd lose their funds. On the other hand, if they'd made up their own mind and just asked me for assistance, i would gladly help them out  This, and most especially not people in their senior age, and most definitely not people in my family. I get it, it feels great if people make money because of your investment recommendation, but man the potential downside if the price went the other way. |

It's either bitcoin, or stablecoins on whatever blockchain. Doesn't make that much sense to accept other cryptocurrencies in my opinion knowing that bitcoin payment volume is already quite small in the first place.

Creating a method/protocol, where the users, who lost access to the coins in their wallets could recover their private keys(access to their wallets). I know that many people would be against such protocol, because lost coins make BTC more scarce, but I think the fear of losing your coins because you forgot your password/private keys is what keeps many noobs away from Bitcoin and this kinda stops the process of mass adoption.
I don't think it's the fact that people don't want it. It's the fact that there's no way of doing this without having a centralized entity requiring AML/KYC. The closest thing we have to this is social backups, like what Argent(ethereum wallet) has. |

Pretty simple. Bitcoin-related? Bitcoin Discussion section. Altcoin-related? Altcoin Discussion section. Don't overthink it as mods will move your topic if it's in the wrong section anyway.
