With the knowlege of Bitcoin as a scarce asset, people would purchase more of bitcoin and in turn it'll increase the value of bitcoin. When all the blocks get mined only those that holds Bitcoin would benefit from the increased value. With such a growth strategy, many people holds bitcoin even when the market is down knowing that it'll increase in value when all the blocks are mined after the last Bitcoin halving and no bitcoin is created.

With the domain kind of address bitcoin transaction may work like sending an Email, though not exactly how he stated  it. Before then, they was nothing like Altcoins, all the altcoins joined together can be bigger than Bitcoin, tagging ETH it's impossible for one project to outstand or get better than Bitcoin. In my opinion, his predictions is close to the Truth, as bitcoin is popular and more people looking to invest into Bitcoin. Alot of transaction occurs on the blockchain network through a payment system, lightening network sure, but I think the payment system is bolt12, sending transaction through onion messages free or paid.

Bitcoin has done great numbers in price value, everyone who is not a pessimist would testity and invest into Bitcoin. Top platforms and government institutions are pessimistic about Bitcoin so only few bodies indulge on Bitcoin investment. The little number of institutions like SPO (Swiss Post office) have a better view of what Bitcoin is all about. This will indeed help productivity in the company when bitcoin hits bullish trend. So Bitcoin will keep on getting more adoption despite the winter because the bull market is sure and good investor tap from such repetitive experience.

Most cryptocurrency news related platforms on YouTube are filled with contents on fallen projects; exchanges, lending platforms, tokens, Digital asset platforms etc. But, it doesn't stop them from coming back again when the market corrects. Some projects cannot stand the cryptocurrency winter and thought it wise or smart to back off for now and return when they feel ready to face the bear or bull market. Though, exchanges that failed, will face court trial and may refund their users.

I would have shared more definition to the trackers and observers above, but with the names available you can check up on them and understand its complete functionality. Have a great day.

Cryptocurrency users should get used to the ugly warnings of Chinese Government about cryptocurrency. It's not new, they've been working against the project. Like I'll say, they is no bad publicity, more warning brings publicity to cryptocurrency. Only that some Chinese citizens will listen to their government and drop cryptocurrency. The news won't get across the world and many people who benefits and sights the future of bitcoin will definitely and should ignore the message. I think any news from China should be ignored completely in terms of cryptocurrency.

The current situation of cryptocurrency market is disturbing to cryptocurrency traders, investors and users but, affected exchanges are taking cold decisions. Recently, 2gether just sent an email across their users that says;

This action affected about 100,000 users that trusted the service of this exchange. And, their funds are held on the exchange. They went further to urge users to pay a fine of $20.35 to keep their accounts active, and failure to comply will get such account suspended. ( Maybe they'll be back in future)

Though the Spanish Financial users association is about to take a legal action in the name of all the users of the exchange. And, such situations will give regulators a better reason to regulate cryptocurrency. Exchanges are getting hurt during the bear market, why can't they hold? or maybe borrow some funds to finance their exchange while waiting for the market to correct.

Bitcoin is a currency that has a transparent view of it's price value tagged to dollar or other currencies. Just like people check the value of $1 to their own country currency. That's how the world focus on the value of 1 bitcoin to dollar. During this inflation people will say that dollar raised in price that's why commodities are expensive especially in third world countries where their currencies are affected by the value of dollar. So, the use of bitcoin as a currency is the reason why people wants to know the price. The use of bitcoin as an investment also has to do with the price. the use of bitcoin as a trade has to do with the price. The only aspect of bitcoin that has nothing to do with the price is the network it's been hosted.

It's a nice idea to make decisions when others are confused about what to do or think about at the moment. Your thread will be feasible for building a business and scaling it to make more profits. In the case of cryptocurrency, sometimes, a calculated move is required, not like diving completely into the market. They are nice phrases on the thread that made me think that I'm no longer reading about cryptocurrency. I tried as much as I could to link them back to cryptocurrency it tallied at a point and I disagreed when you said we have to put all our mind into cryptocurrency. An interpretation of when you said we should do things with all our minds. I think in cryptocurrency when all your mind gets involved you may remain on the trading signals and prices all day long like a watchman. Unless a business is built under the cryptocurrency blockchain then I'll involve all my mind in it. They are other things under a man's control to take up a man's mind completely like humanity, women, kids, and survival methods than focusing completely on a single coin or currency which is not under your control. It's a nice thread OP. I'd said; it's a great one if it wasn't a cryptocurrency forum.

If we treat all the people into cryptocurrency as pros the market may end up not hitting a global adoption. Most users stumble upon crypto for what may seem to be a different reason; for-profits, trading, investing, etc. Many don't read or are not readers or not interested in reading about the ecosystem. Like you said lazy investors that see the exchange as a bank account. It's like a bank account to them, they can withdraw their funds since nobody or they have not enlightened themselves about the main cryptocurrency wallets that can be used to save their funds. In this thread, I emphasized that such decisions may chase noob users away from using cryptocurrency. So if the goal is to reach mass adoption I think everyone into cryptocurrency should not be considered a pro in the market.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are the thorn in the cryptocurrency market's flesh. Though, they are centralized platforms operating for a decentralized entity. But, they fail to keep themselves away from biased decisions. Recently, on July 5, Bitstamp posted that inactive accounts will pay a $10 bill on their next transaction. Such a decision became clear to them that users saw it as a biased rule to favor the platform; this morning they lifted the rule. However, users already left the exchange, and some users may lose interest in cryptocurrency due to such an order. An exchange with a reasonable board of admins should have thought things out before effecting such a rule knowing that they are many other competitors.

On the other hand, users complain that the exchange is demanding a $200 minimum deposit per month to keep an account active. So if a user fails to deposit up to $200 per month their account will get deactivated.

Such exchanges are making decisions outside the goal of cryptocurrency marketers or inventors. It shouldn't be this way. Some exchanges are centralized already. They should be a general central body that should govern every exchange in the cryptocurrency space. The decisions they come up with every day, and the threat of some exchanges going into bankruptcy in the cryptocurrency space is not helping this ecosystem. A rule should govern any existing exchange to keep things in place or the market will face more threats in the future.

Even the old school "yellow kid" used this same phrase to scam people in the olden days. People cannot resist being greedy and earning from where they didn't work. It's more like a human nature and, some people take them into action, so scammers will capitalize from such set of people all year long. Nothing can be done about it. The technique is there if all social media gets regulated the same people that the government is trying to do a favor will leave those platforms, if scam reduces there, in search for a platform where scammers camp looking for quick money.

OP is right from the use of the word "More" popular, bitcoin didn't make it popular debit cards did, so bitcoin took it from there and made paperless transaction more popular, even bitcoin served the world in times of trouble when those other paperless methodologies may not work. During Covid bitcoin was used to run some transaction and it got noticed, no cashless method would have served millions of people without their server having a crash like bitcoin did for the Ukrainians when the Russians struck their territory. Looking at these major global occurrence, bitcoin can be said or have indeed made the paperless economy more popular.

I thought so, though human nature in the case of a friend when he got some issues they'll definitely back down or maybe stop visiting. In this case of bitcoin they'll wait to make profits real quick when the price is booming and people discuss how they made profits out of bitcoin. The stats is too big though, that means bitcoin is meant/ was created for only lesser, patient and strong hodlers or people to benefit or see huge profits.

They've been some kind of let's say an argument or two-sided opinions if it's okay for the bank of America to publish genuine cryptocurrency stats. A few hours ago, a tweet was made on this report about the decline of active cryptocurrency users in high numbers, ranging from 1 million to 500k. To me, this sounds like FUD news and in other people's opinion a true stat since it could be generated from exchanges. How possible could this be? Although we know, the cryptocurrency market is bearish now and people are withdrawing their funds as quickly as they could. But, not to such a number unless the LUNA deceased investors made up most of the stats. What do you think?

Read through the e-books shared above and share your knowledge here for a better explanation. Consistency is the tool you need to improve faster.

The idea here is good, but fiat plays a vital role in the business chain. The vendor accepts bitcoin, maybe a wholesaler, but the producer may not be a bitcoin trader. It brings forth a barrier to the business chain of such a vendor. The government will have no such power. However, they are always a means to cut side into other people's businesses, and the government is a part of such practice. Consider other valuable assets like gold, silver, and other country currencies being changed to fiat in different countries to ease the circulation of money. The peer2peer bitcoin traders that change bitcoin to fiat for-profits can't be erased from the market. I don't think such an idea will happen soon, as many people are involved in the market, including the same government you dodge.

Are you saying that the market will fall again or? the dip is not yet enough?  this could be the limit or maybe you are right when you said that they are many frustrations since 2020. Covid came and bitcoin did numbers after a year. The war just began and soon it'll settle down, many people or victims that got saved through bitcoin donations will acknowledge the coin in the future. Say next year and things will work out fine for cryptocurrency. The world can't be in total peace we are too many to expect such a peaceful world without frustration and war. Though as humans, we don't see things as regard previous actions. As they say leave the past, it belongs there. But, with the look of earlier trends on bitcoin in the year 2021, this is the best moment to invest. Waiting for the price to hit 10k or less may be risky. We saw bitcoin hit 60k during or after a pandemic (according to different countries) so investing on bitcion now is okay. Though waiting for bitcoin to fall again in price like Luna before investing is not advisable bitcoin price has been on that price rate for a while now.

The best thing is, do that which works for you. I remember forgetting the password of an account I logged into everyday. Not that the account is saved on the system, I entered password everyday and one faithful morning I forgot the password. So, the brain sometimes fails to recall things. Password manager I don't recommend for a sensitive account like wallets. Password manager can serve other social accounts that means nothing to your personal information or funds. Though, to escape hackers, use 2fa to backup sensitive accounts. And be careful with whatever backup you are using so that you won't bite yourself. Keep your phone numbers, email or google account used for the backup very safe.

Passing down an account is not proper, though living an account dormant has no effect to the forum but giving an account to a child who is a member of the forum (has an account) to manage while you are away is better. Living the account dormant, serves as a memory to other fresh members on the forum. And, seeing that the account is active but, is handled by someone else doesn't help. So if its in your interest to introduce your kids to the forum just like any other forums please do and they may become legendary members even before you are gone. This is a forum not a business, of-course the owner of the forum can pass down ownership to his kids, that sounds OK.
