I think the best solution is a hardware wallet just randomly hidden somewhere in a fireproof safe or bag. Maybe your attic, basement, whatever and just leave it there.

Do you actually know how we will end up claiming it then? Will we just have to do something simple like sign a transaction? Are we looking at more of an airdrop than a fork? I wish they were clearer, the team seems to be pretty absent from the community.

Do you know if bitcoin gold ever actually added replay protection? I also wonder if trezor will support it in their client without me having to deal with the private keys.

There are many different types of currencies because people have many different opinions on how a coin should be run. There are also people looking to just get rich.

They can take bitcoin without having to teach people to use it. Places have websites, they dont usually teach people how to use them, they learn or they dont use them, its pretty simple.

Most fiat has a market cap (not technically the right term) much higher than bitcoin. Its like a boat, the bigger it gets, the bigger the wave it takes to shake it. Not that I want bitcoin to replace fiat, but im just saying as it gets to a point where it is very very large and the wealth gets more distributed, volatility gets lower.

If there honestly any real threats a hard fork could always be implemented. Yes it pisses people off and we will most likely lose some investment and people who are easily scared, but it would not be the death by any means.

Is there going to be replay protection ? Last I saw when I checked the project out was that there was not. Was wondering if they had updated the code to add it.

Same thing happened to me, now im stuck waiting and it doesnt seem like they give a shit, so im trying to incentivize maybe on of their workers to spend the time and get it up and running.

In my opinion it is very unlikely UNLESS the main core developers support it. Core has the best and brightest programmers out of any coin. No one even compares to them. Unless you have a fork with many devs that rival them (they dont exist), its not happening.

There are hundreds of explanations online, if you are decently proficient in english i would recommend Andreas Aantonopolous' youtube account. He has many basic explanations.

What are we considering a kiddy? I mean im 24 and I would agree most people my age have zero idea what bitcoin is, but also most people in their 40s have no idea what it is either. If we take it a step futher I would claim but people my age and in their 40s dont even know what the S&P500 is. The vast majority of people are terrible with investing knowledge.

2021-2025 should be really interesting in my opinion. At that point were really going to see the crunch for people not being able to get the coins they need. So few are going to hit the market and at the end of 2025 we basically start really seeing us moving asymptotically to 100%

This really sucks, im sorry man, thats a very expensive lesson. Im glad you posted here because hopefully it will teach people to keep their coins offline and safe.

There is a saying that says something like for every dead person we advance a tiny step. People, especially older generations simply wont get it and never will. This is part of the reason why technology partly advances in waves.

Old school economists, especially those following Keynesian economics have a real hard time understanding it. Especially people who probably dont take the time to understand it. I could list 10 brilliant people who think its stupid simply because they have had it explained to them poorly.

Paying 2500 bitcloud for help if you can get bitcloud stuck on coinexchange.io deposit to be credited or to get their wallet back up and running.

I wouldnt hold your breathe, been waiting almost 3 weeks at this point.

This topic is heavily debated and I think in many ways it will hurt the market very badly if bitcoin dies. Bitcoin is the blue chip coin and if it doesnt take off or doesnt go mainstream and loses investment ( I dont think this will happen I should say) many people will pull their money out.

Im sorry this happened, but this is why hardware wallets are so important. Keeping even 1 bitcoin online is not the best decision and opens the possibility of being attacked. Especially with blockchain.info which sucks balls and is often a target because many new people use it.
