Tell that to China, banning bitcoin usage by the public combined with mass surveillance, Internet censorship, and propaganda, I think that if a government were to do something drastic, I think that they will be able stop bitcoin. I forgot to mention that North Korea is also one of the countries that can stop bitcoin.
The people can still access the Internet but yes you are right, they are heavily monitored, maybe a VPN or a Tor browser and learning how to Jump the Great Firewall of China could help people to access bitcoin, I think that OP has a point that the government can't stop bitcoin's growth, the only time that they can stop the growth is if the people doesn't even know that it exist, never underestimate the spirit of human curiosity and the will to get out of the cage. |

I thought that this app is providing signals for trading which is a little disappointing but not really because there is no reliable trading signal provider. Maybe we can see other apps and projects do the same, what I really want to see is the Teamtrees.org integrate this mode of donation, they already planted 20 million trees and I think that it still going on.

This is such a great visual lesson for the "Buy high, sell low" brigade.
I read the thread title and didnt check the date, i was wondering what the F.
are people thinking? now im thinking What the F. WERE people thinking?
Was about to comment something about not buying but selling and then I saw the quote above that it was around 2011, when you look back at it, it looked like the 10 USD price of bitcoin was already a big deal back then but then now we couldn't even think if it will go down to 1k USD again. |

It is a good thing that they are hodling because this means that the supply is slowly going lower and with that the demand increases because of the low supply. I am quite surprised that 55% of bitcoin hasn't moved, that is quite a lot of bitcoin for it to not moved, they might have included the lost coins in this percentage.

I don't think fiat can completely be wiped out, but this is all illusional discussions, setting up examples of possible scenarios that could happen with the fast growing sector. Bitcoin theft just like every other currencies happens and will continue to happen. It is all left for the user who wishes to save Bitcoin as stock for a long time to learn tactics on how to outsmart the potential fraudster by using custodian wallets maybe. Security is a very important aspect of Bitcoin that doesn't need to be taken lightly, exposing your private keys to a non trusted exchange already puts you in risk of hack as the OP has suggested. Why blame bitcoin's security, it is already safe, the real problem is the people, putting your personal info and your wallets on websites you don't even trust is a failing on the person, no matter how secure a thing is if the person handling it is incompetent or careless, a breach is going to happen. The solution is to make people learn the idea of responsibility and being safe online. |

Helped some of my friends get some extra cash during the pandemic, although I am still a student I did do have my hands reach out to help my friends but the problem is that not all of them accepts your help which I don't really mind because it is their loss that they are not going to accept the opportunity, I don't talk that much outside of my circle so I have a hard time teaching people about cryptocurrency/

Of course it will. Not just VISA but also other payment systems, all of them. If the Lightning Network is to be operating, it is a lot better than VISA. Imagine having instant, very cheap, pretty anonymous, decentralized, etc payment with Bitcoin. People will prefer it over VISA and other electronic payment systems. But I think VISA is not to be defeated easily. VISA knows that Bitcoin is the future. Before it is defeated, it has already turned itself a Bitcoin ally.
Blindly saying that it will replace almost any conventional payment system is not a good thing for this discussion. I don't know much about Lightning Network or VISA or how they process their transaction but what I can say is that if LN wants to topple VISA out of its throne, they have to match the infrastructure that VISA already has and provide a concrete evidence that they are faster than anything else. Maybe you are right that LN will replace other payment system, I sure do hope so, cutting the in-between for transactions is a good thing after all. |

SpaceX actually benefitted from the cold relationship between the United States and Russia. Previously Russia used to transport the American astronauts to the ISS, but after the relationship became thorny, Americans started looking at other options. And at that time, SpaceX was the only available non-Russian option. Both Tesla and SpaceX are benefitting from certain US government policies. If Elon had a strained relationship with the authorities, then Tesla/SpaceX would not have reached such high valuations. That will be a difficult thing to happen, with the benefit that USA gets from SpaceX for their space program, I think that it will took a lot before a strain in their relationship can happen. AFAIK, the problem between Russia and USA doesn't include their space relations but I could be wrong though as Cold War has ended a long time ago. |

I strive to reach that point where I'm so rich that I could just do extraordinarily dumb(but cool) things like this without giving a crap about the government.
Most of the stunts that these people do are calculated risks and they almost already know the outcome of their actions. Elon can do stuff because of his SpaceX company which is a contractor of the US government so in a way, as long as their interests are met, Elon can do this online shenanigans. |

The only way that I can think of that will cause a cryptocurrency apocalypse is when we are dependent solely on technology for our transactions, fiat will be a thing of the past and every payment is all digital, and when that happens, the only apocalypse that will happen is when there is a global EMP that will wipeout all the electronics in the world, with no computers for back ups, digital money will become useless but that too will not likely happen because electronics protection is definitely going to be innovated along with other things.

The moment you said that your wallet is in blockchain.info, I know what is the mistake that you did. You should know that you shouldn't trust anything online especially with a wallet that has I guess has a considerable amount of funds. Online wallets are prone to attacks and your account must have been compromised during an attack a long time ago and they are just waiting for you to store more bitcoin in it. You said that you are using a laptop, you could have invested in a cold wallet and just access it anytime you want with the laptop.

ATM bitcoin on gas stations or on shopping complexes doesn't make much difference. Because all are a public place and pretty easy to use as well. Increasing Bitcoin ATM means it easier to use your funds although transaction fees are quite high, at least there is real use. Bitcoin ATM is effective adoption for bitcoin. As much as Bitcoin becomes easy to use the value will increase rapidly. The value doesn't mean the only price, value fully depends on the community. Hope soon we will see more Bitcoin ATMs everywhere.
The transaction fee for those ATM services is going to be regulated as soon as there are more Bitcoin ATMs that will popup and most fundamental regulations about cryptocurrency has been discussed. Hopefully by regulated I mean is that the transaction fees will go down that it is worth using. What we need is for conventional ATMs to have the ability to do transactions with bitcoin besides fiat. |

I, on the other hand, did not sell my bitcoin reserves but i put them at interest, in staking but not because i want to do a long term hold strategy but i like to have as much as possible, then in the end at least for me the price is relative will be there always ups and downs on the market
It is a much better way of earning more bitcoin instead of just letting it stay there and get stagnant. I plan to do some staking but I don't have the enough bitcoin to do it to make as much interest as possible. I did plan to trade but I don't think my lazy ass is going to want to watch the market all the time so passive investing is going to be my pick. Congratulations to OP for hodling that long, I don't think that I can do it myself but hey you did it and you got your initial capital by just selling 5% of what you have. |

What is the connection of computing power of bitcoin going down to the title about winding down of China to blockchain related mining? I don't get why people still spread old FUDs despite being debunked or not remotely true, they still spread the story as if it will be enough to make people sell their bitcoin altogether making the price crash down, to everyone that is trying this shenanigans, you are 10 years too late and companies are already considering investing in bitcoin.

the game is more of psychology it's better to play with humans on the table to learn the kind of players you are playing with. it's better to establish a pattern actually so you are going to be unpredictable whenever you wanted to bluff. it's satisfying to see you get to win big with just one bluff you made and only then they will realize you are not the kind of player that they thought so. What I am trying to say is that your pattern will become predictable and you can't simply bluff in a predicted pattern because the trained eye will notice even your bet and they know that you are up to something when you suddenly go off the pattern or try to follow the pattern. Yes it might work for awhile but once they get ahold of how you do it, they will know it. |

If you were to play this strategy then you better know who your opponents are because frequent early fold will mean that they will see that you are following a pattern and the moment that you play until the reveal of cards, they will know why you are playing in that pattern, I don't suggest this kind of thing in a high-stakes tournament, especially at a casual play at gambling houses because there pros that are hiding in the midst and they can easily detect this kind of thing. Practice your poker face and learn how to pressure your opponents is a good way to make a profit in poker.

so fury has more break times than the other boxer but joshua is more warmed up and still ready for a fight anytime of the day but fury may need to prepare harder for his body to heat up and get ready for a new match .
That could mean anything, that break could be a good thing for Fury to be fully conditioned and undamaged in any fights but that could also mean that the break could make him a little rusty, we will never know until we see them touching gloves in the ring. I don't have a pick right now but hopefully these fights are going to be entertaining. |

Maybe this one will have separate impression since if the fake bets made just to deceive people that they have whales playing at them well that's not really good, but if we can see that as way of promotion and educate the gamblers about the games what they offer well we can define this as normal since many casino will provably do that just to promote there various games they have. That could be another possibility too, to make it look like the bets on the website are attractive, but that can also be considered as a deceiving advertisement. I mean if we are wary of the website that advertises fake bets, then we should scour the web to look for information about the website and find testimonies that will prove the reputation of the website and then maybe after that you can decide for your own whether it is worth it to go to that website to gamble. |

I've never imagine someone would asking this question right on that YouTube videos. That would be funny.
It's all about entertaining the multimedia contents to make it more attractive. If they let the video without the helps of that supporters sounds, it will be a boring video with only the wind or the ball kicked sound, and the players screaming. They even cover the empty seats with interesting design and pictures.
That was my first instinct too, that it was a ploy to make the game more entertaining since there aren't a lot of audience, I understand this kind of thing for entertainment, we watch a lot of shows with laugh tracks and we don't seem to mind so I guess that there is nothing wrong with this video. I am imagining it already, with no cheering and only commentary, I think that viewership is going to go down. |

You seem to be having some problems on profit in your Liga MX and Laliga 2 experiment but that was not enough to upset the profits you got from the Ligue 2. Considering the amount you won in total, I think that this could be a viable strategy, hopefully more people are going to catch on to your experiment and try it themselves so we can collect their testimonies and formulate whether this could be a proven way to bet.
