If all nodes shuts down then everything about bitcoin also goes down. Because miners are also node runners and if all miners stop working then nobody will mine bitcoin, nodes also verify transactions which makes them much significant to the network.
So it’s Fair to say bitcoin that without node runners bitcoin won’t exist.


Running a prune node is just practically saving some blocks only, nothing changes with full node. You will still need to download every block which is the total storage and that’s what OP was all about. Also even if you need to import an address practically a old one you will need to download all blockchain again

If the transaction was actually confirmed at the very first place and you checked the Address balance on mempool then the transaction did arrived at that time. Also sparrow is a wallet not exchanges requires a minimum deposit and without the minimum deposit the amount wouldn’t be visible.

What I think actually happened was a synchronization error, you possibly hadn’t synchronized to the block where the transaction was added into, and that was why the address was empty and you couldn’t send out anything. I have read multiple times here about sparrow wallet having synchronization issues. Now that you can see the coin on your address it means the synchronization is completed or has actual got to the block the transaction is in.


This terminologies are somewhat similar but quite different you can use this site  learnmeabitcoin.com to get to know the difference of this terminologies

Mismanagement of people’s funds is the strongest reason that many people will lose interest or trust on an exchange, an example is the FTX saga, when they mismanaged the customers fund. The other thing that an exchange can do to lose interest or trust of an exchange is when the exchange reveals the customers KYC willing to the government, this will create a distrust by the customers to be exchange. Although once you do KYC you shouldn’t expect those to save from the public, as even a hack on the platform can cause details to be reveal but if people find out that the exchange sells out or reveals the details to the government or other parties then it will definitely make people lose interest on them

Yesterday I was actually insinuating that Bayern will lose the match and my predictions was base on the fact that Hoffenheim actually needed the match more than Bayern Munich. Since they lost the league or were sure they wouldn’t win I think Bayern Munich payed attention to the Champions league and after a very good fight which they lost they haven’t been playing well. Hoffenheim on the other hand, needed this win to been in contention for the European competitions, lost will have seen them been unsurp by Heidenheim who were just a point behind them.

The season has ended for the first time in nearly 20 years Bayern Munich have failed to either win the league and also finish as runners up. They needed the ended of the season badly. Right now the club needs to re strategize and conclude on weather they will part ways with Tuchel or not. They need to make a decision fast to start preparation for the next season

I don’t want to seem like a pessimist but to Arsenal fans I don’t think they should be optimistic about this at all. Yes in football miracles happen and we have seen that happening a lot but with the circumstances at hand now, I don’t expect any surprises. West Ham United have been poor lately, not just poor they have been very poor that they have been shipping Atleast 5 goals in for more than 6 occasions now. Against a vicious attack like that of city which contain the league highest goal scorer, player of the season and also the exceptional king of assist De Bruyne, i don’t think they stand a chance to anything.

Let’s not forget that West Ham is also Arsenal’s London rivals and if you ask me I don’t think they will do them any favor. They are going to ship in goals in my opinion the match will even end after first half

I don’t think you actually mean what you said, Jackson was bought for just $30M or so and he did had a double digits of goals in his first season in the Premier league. Yes he missed so many chances but he wasn’t the biggest flop. You fans easily blame strikers base on their goal contributions only and fail to acknowledge their overall performances. Jackson to me contributed to the team a lot than some fans point it out.

If you look at the overall club performance only Cole Palmer was the standout player in the team so you cannot just say a new play that’s in a struggling team is a flop. Next season if Jackson can get his finishing right you will see more of him as an outstanding player. I feel he still needs time, the premier league isn’t that easy.

 
I just feel like DI Zerbi is kinda of overrated to me, he hasn’t done anything much at mid Club Brighton to say he will walk straight into this top clubs I think he still needs to be at a mid club to perfect anything he is doing right now. Rushing to a bigger club could hamper his growth if things go wrong, take a look at Potters case and how it turned out at Chelsea, and to me Potter was better than Di Zerbi at Brighton

One thing I noticed is when people look back at how Manchester United were the D team to beat in the past they easily just accustomed the performance to the manager and how brilliant the players were. But when they bring it back to the recent events they blame only the manager for bring the club down. And leave the players unabashed.

Manchester United have had five different managers and if you ask me two were in the great coaches category and the rest had Those that were in goof coaches category. Ten Hag to me is in that good Coach category. The problem of Manchester United is definitely right from the hierarchy before coming down. That’s why I like the new 25% stake owner Sir Ractliff on his decision to start a club over haul from the top

That’s why Madrid are regarded as the galacticos, they usually go for the big names on world football. When they went quite on Mbappe deal months ago I knew they had the deal almost done because they don’t do just any kind of deal. For now Mbappe is almost coming to Madrid as I don’t see any club that he would want to go and play for except Manchester city and he had already ruled out premier league football for now.

As for his wages he will definitely be among European highest paid players but the ridiculous amount he was paid in PSG will definitely not be what he will get at Madrid. Perez is usually strictly when handing out contracts to players a huge wage might causes a wage gap fight Between elite players.

As for Alphonse Davis I think he will be a Real Madrid player too, Madrid are just not trying to force a transfer so as not to break the rules of transfer as Davis is still contracted to Bayern Munich and it will be disrespectful to do that

For a newbie and a new investor, try to just hold your coins for a long term as this is the safest way to get the best out of the market and avoid huge risk. But this doesn’t mean people do not make it out in profit for short term sales, but as it is said it is too risky and that’s why you see crypto experts warning people from trading futures.

Yes bitcoin reacts this days to fundamental news easily and that’s one of the reasons that caused this uprise currently happening. The CPI news on Wednesday showed a data that it has reduced from 3.5% to 3.4%. This was what caused the rise on crypto

Exactly a physical printing of bitcoin will definitely kill off most of the benefits or advantages that people have for this bitcoin. First thing is who print bitcoin? The organization that print or Mint this note will then be the central authority of the coin and choose when to print more or reduce it,
So it kills decentralization.

Another is the status as an hedge against inflation will be ruin because the more they print more bitcoin there won’t be any limited supply and also inflation might kick in.

Also the money normally used for printing any coin or currency is usually huge which is why most countries self are hoping out of the physical cash policy to cashless policy because of the cost effectiveness of it

No I don’t think that we should be in bull run yet base on technical analysis. If you check technical analysis is mostly base on past experience and as at the past halvings the bull run doesn’t kick start until at least two months after halving, we are just a month past halving, so the correction is still in phase. You can also remember that the market did a turn against the past history by reaching a new all time high before halving and this to me is what prompted the correction we are having right now.

Those that you see panic as this correction is taking place are either newbies coming to this space which I don’t blame them because it’s natural to panic when you see your funds going down, with time as you say they will get use to it. The other set of people are those that go for short term trade and they are seeing a correction now

Exactly mods do not act base on what they think about that thing rather they take action base on the rules of the forum, most threads are mostly locked due to spamming although there are others for some other reasons but to me the number for spam locked thread are much. And judging by that once you go through a thread that is locked you will definitely see clear reasons why it is locked.

But this doesn’t mean it won’t be a good addition that a note for the thread getting locked is stated at least it guides more members again on why they get their thread Locked. Those who will like to improve their posting habit will improve. But this will also give the mod an extra work

It definitely isn’t much of a problem to me which route you take. My only problem with having to convert down to fiat is that it will cause more for charges and looking more like it cause a little stress than the just swapping direct to the Altcoins. Although there are not too many of the Altcoins having a direct trading pair with each other but a simple conversion to the usdt and then buying with the altcoin and usdt pair, savin the stress of converting to the fiat which rates varies again.

Now my advice on this is, never jump on Altcoins that ere refusing to pump most especially when a Bitcoin narrative is driving the Market. Some of this Altcoins are just there with the potential no longer worth it and it will be risky to cash in on them with money from another Altcoins.

Yea i wouldn’t say many people today do not treat bitcoin as a currency but rather they treat it more today as an asset to hold as a result of the distinctive characteristics that bitcoin possess and which are characteristics for good asset to hold. People today to not just bring out their bitcoin to trade like that but rather look for other means.

There is nothing wrong treating bitcoin as a investment so my advice to any one trying to come into cryptocurrency or specifically is to think long time. Many people fall to losses today in cryptocurrency or bitcoin because of the duration of timing of when to buy and sell.

Yeah there are various traders today that trade spot market as a short term trade just the way people do in perpetual trading. To me it’s a very risky form of trading most especially for a highly volatile trades, it can be much better without too much risk for coins like bitcoin who do not fall that hard or rather consolidate more the risk is minimal but still their is also risk there.

It is weird or not too good to risk $600 for just a gain of $57 this clearly shows that your friend has a very poor risk management that’s. If I were you I will advise him to go ahead and hold for long as the best beneficiary are those who hold for long.

But still let’s not take it away from him there is nothing wrong at taking profits at anytime just do well not to enter back at a higher price

I think both teams matched each other’s momentum and none was better than any. My pick from the game is Newcastle or Manchester United might be on the brink of missing out on European football next season. Also Newcastle have a very strong squad and the players on the bench are not just average players but players that would start for any middle club team. With Newcastle scared of the financial fair play rules they would have to sell some of their key players. The first player that caught my attention is Isak. I don’t think Newcastle will be able to keep him and Guimares because of how good they are.


The issue with Chelsea has long ago been converting their chances, they usually create more chances than their opponents but without a proper center forward who can’t score enough goals. Jackson might have scored many this season but should have be 10 plus more goals to his name this season. If not for their new signing Cole Palmer I don’t think they would still he going for the next European spot but their resilience will at least get them this arsenal

Exactly, even I wanted Varane to leave, i don’t have problem with is playing pattern but one thing about me is I find players who are injury prone to be not too ok for the club. Varane was already having a reoccurring knee injury in almost every three to four games he plays. Not that I want to support Ten Hag bad season but this defensive problems really caused him points. You cannot tell me that Martinez wouldn’t be making a good decision or better one than what Casemiro makes at the moment. So the likes of Varane sadly need to pave way for new and young lads


Frimpong has the right to want to leave and go look for new challenges. The two perfect team are Manchester United and Real Madrid. At Madrid he will step in for Dani Carvajal. While at Manchester United he will battle it out with Dalot as Wan Bissaka is set to leave

In as much as it may look like a only those who have money are opportune to invest into cryptocurrency and those without money Should not it is true. People will say everyone can invest into bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large but I tell those who feed from hand to mouth are not fit to invest into cryptocurrency for me.

It is most at times not about having money and going straight to invest into crypto but can you afford to lose that money, someone who probably earns just enough to cater for his needs wouldn’t have this luxury to lose money and such investing into crypto will be a very high risk for them because when they might need the money might be a very wrong or bad time to sell.

So first step of investing into cryptocurrency is to first find two or more income streams and risk an amount you can afford to.

Varane is no doubt up there against the best center backs of his time when fully fit. He and Lisandro Martinez Formed a defensive partnership that to me were the best the club have seeing since the days of Vidic/Ferdinand. His contract runs down in the summer and if you ask me it was the best thing to not give a contract extension because the wages is outrageous for a player that cannot simply play five games in a row without getting injury.

There is a new rules coming for spending on wages in the premier league and Manchester United will need to definitely reduces wage load and players like Varane are due to leave with also Casemiro too a candidate to follow the same route.

The two players that are currently listed for Varane replacement which are Fulham soon to be free agent Tobi Adarabioyo and Everton’s Braitwaith. If you ask me I will say both needs to be sign for squad depth which is needed should Lindelof or/and maguire leaves

If you ask me the final game against Augsburg definitely matters a lot to Bayer Leverkusen. They have all the season been producing back to back stoppage time comebacks just to keep up their unbeaten record and you think they would want to just let it slip away at the die minutes. I don’t think they will have to rest players for Augsburg Game as it looks clear that Xabi Alonso definitely eyes the unbeaten record which will be the first of its kind in the Bundesliga and since the one achieved by Arsenal invincibles in 2002.

They play more less 3 finals in less than 10 days and seriously I am backing them to win the games comfortably. I see Xabi only dropping players at most in the DFP pokal final due to the team in contention.
