1881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Revisiting Bitcoin ATM Data and Current Growth World Wide on: February 20, 2023, 07:48:05 AM
It's quite mind boggling how ATM count increased, knowing how incredibly inferior Bitcoin ATMs are versus your typical centralized exchange. Post 2017 bull run, I expected Bitcoin ATMs to just slowly but surely grind lower lol.
1882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Companies working on Bitcoin on: February 20, 2023, 06:08:53 AM
Both MicroStrategy and The Block aren't building anything on top of Bitcoin though? MicroStrategy just holds(and have some written content) bitcoin, while The Block is a crypto news site.
1883  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which BTC/mining related stock seems most promising going forward? on: February 20, 2023, 04:41:39 AM
I'm not a fan as mining-related companies can technically still go bust due to company mismanagement even if bitcoin is on an upward tear. The only single reason why I would personally buy a mining-related stock is if the stock is fundamentally significantly undervalued. But then, I'd immediately sell the stock once it gets mildly close to fair value.
1884  Other / Meta / Re: Can we have a true discussion without the sig tail wailing? on: February 19, 2023, 12:41:42 PM
Like it or not, signature campaigns is what keeps Bitcointalk afloat in terms of traffic and activity.

If you personally think that post quality is bad because of signatures, you can start a self-moderated thread and simply delete the replies that you deem useless/spammy. Alternatively, probably try the Serious Discussion[1] section(though it's a general discussion section, not necessarily a Bitcoin one).

You can also help contribute concerning post quality by reporting posts that you deem useless/spammy.

What I also don't like are the hashtags you use in your post, because what does your Bitcoin book have to do with all those altcoins you're indirectly promoting?

It was a decent move imo. While the hashtags are unrelated, it gives good visibility for the tweet. Don't forget that while you like it or not, a good chunk of people who follow those hashtags could be interested in such books as well.
1886  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin 2008/09-2024 History Paperback/Hardcover Book on: February 19, 2023, 11:26:35 AM
Publish it mate, would love to read it, without the Roger Ver drama.

Why should the book be without the Roger Ver drama? The BCH and BSV debacles are one of the biggest swindling attempts in the entire Bitcoin space; it should definitely be added in.
1887  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your reasons for holding bitcoins? on: February 19, 2023, 11:03:15 AM
But unfortunately, 99% of people in this market are looking at bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency, only 1%, like you see bitcoin as a currency. I believe that whether bitcoin becomes popular or not, it will be called a commodity rather than a currency. No government accepts it as currency even el-salvador call bitcoin a legal tender, but their government is investing in bitcoin and hopes it will rise again.

It doesn't matter much what most people think. What's great about Bitcoin is that you don't really need to care much on what people use it for, as long as you can use it for your preferred purpose.
1888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your reasons for holding bitcoins? on: February 19, 2023, 09:57:08 AM
Because fk the authorities and I don't want them having control over my finances.

And of course, money. Who doesn't want to take advantage of the value increase?
1889  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anonymity vs. KYC: The Pros and Cons of Cryptocurrency Exchanges on: February 19, 2023, 08:42:05 AM
On one hand, KYC can help prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities.

Technically, yes. But in the grand scheme of things, KYC does more harm than good. We couldn't count now how much platforms(inside and outside the cryptocurrency space) have been hacked and with their databases breached.
1890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old on: February 19, 2023, 05:36:21 AM
1. Use a hardware wallet. (Ledger/Trezor)
2. Try to earn more money by mowing lawns and stuff to be able to invest more
3. It's okay to hang out with friends and stuff, but stop buying useless crap
1891  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: February 18, 2023, 08:12:04 AM
I'm personally long-term bullish on bitcoin, but there's no guarantees with bitcoin going up and there's no guarantees with literally anything concerning markets. With investing, you just need to weigh in the risks/reward ratio to determine if something is worth investing in.
1892  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you manage risk in crypto currency on: February 18, 2023, 04:08:02 AM
There's no one-size-fits-all formula for this knowing that every single one of us here have different risk tolerances and different financial situations. Maybe start out with not investing money you can't afford to lose.
1893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Many merchants are worried about high transaction fees on: February 17, 2023, 06:24:06 AM
The blockchain transaction fees are paid by the payer though, not necessarily the business.

Also — yes, fees can be quite high at times, but this is why smart people are testing out solutions for people to be able to transact in a cheaper manner. (e.g. sidechains, layer-2s, etc)
1894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin class with my students. on: February 17, 2023, 05:33:18 AM
Mind telling us a few pointers on what you specifically talked about? Hopefully you truly know what you're talking about, because sometimes no information is better than bad information; especially in the context of bitcoin and investing in general.
1895  Economy / Economics / Re: does bitcoin help in your economy? on: February 17, 2023, 05:23:02 AM
If people make money over something — may it be through a business, job, or investments, it helps the economy simply because those people have more buying power. With more buying power, businesses flourish.
1896  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If it was you on: February 17, 2023, 04:22:37 AM
No beginner should simply touch futures — or worse, high-leverage futures. Even some people that have been in this industry for years can manage to blow up their bankrolls with bad risk management.
1897  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be calm and let things flow. on: February 17, 2023, 03:57:06 AM
As with the case of this forum, newbies should try to be calm as with the merit and post section rush that is more of a trend these days. Be calm and take your time to understand the way things get done here, mostly as regards comment style, presentation of work, organization of reference and links,  terms and languages being used. You will see how things just flow with ease.

No one should even need to take posting this seriously. All you need to do is to not spam, not plagiarize, and don't post useless stuff. That's pretty much it. For some reason people here tend to talk about Bitcointalk as some ultra-complicated thing that you need to study.
1898  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen if the price of Bitcoin drops at all? on: February 16, 2023, 07:25:42 PM
The way markets work — the only way bitcoin would reach zero is if there was literally zero demand. What are the chances that bitcoin would have zero demand? Zero. You'll even catch me making bids at 3 digit bitcoin prices.
1899  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It feels good to learn something new about Bitcoin almost every day on the forum on: February 16, 2023, 04:37:14 PM
I thought this forum is all about learning and sharing information? How will others know this same thing? Or you are saying that I am the only stupid one that knows nothing because I couldn't read well? What about others? Are we to keep quiet whenever we learn something that others might benefit from? Since you are a legendary member then pls guide me, maybe next time I won't have to do the same. Since it doesn't matter.

You didn't necessarily do anything wrong, it's just kinda unnecessary. People reading your last thread would've read hosseinimr93 reply about the Bitcoin.org website anyway. Also taking into consideration that the same statement has been repeated numerous times already across multiple threads.
1900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen in a deflationary hoarding scenario? on: February 16, 2023, 03:04:56 PM
If literally everyone just held then the price will simply freeze — simply because no one's selling hence no one could buy. Obviously this is literally impossible to happen because there will always be sellers even if the markets are very very bullish.
