There is still risk that comes with holding crypto, with a $5 wrench, someone can force another who holds bitcoins, to send them to their wallet addresses. There's also the digital risk that comes with going cashless as you are potentially exposed to hackers and scammers. With Bitcoin you're your own bank and the security of your funds depends solely on you; • Never reveal your holdings, • Do not go around with your wallet hardware device, • Use only non custodian wallets...

After generating your seed phrase and creating the wallet did you delete the original one before creating a watch only wallet? If you do not have access to that and did not safe the seed phrase, then there is no way to recover your wallet.

The hardware wallet has a distinct advantage: this forms a transaction within itself. Your keys never enter the PC's memory. Any other wallet will require you to enter your keys / phrase / password into your PC. And it can be intercepted.
If you own two devices, you can initiate a transaction without your keys being exposed to an internet connection. One device would hold the actual wallet; this should be an airgapped device. The other would contain the watch only wallet, this does not have to be airgapped. If you initiate a transaction on the watch only wallet, you can copy or scan the raw transaction into the other device for signing and then send it back to the watch only to be broadcasted. You would of course still need to be extra cautious when making transactions, but the potential risk is reduced.

PayPal with her large customer base could be the catalyst that will stimulate the growth in adoption and value of Bitcoins. Although, if you're not actively trading, do not store your funds up in such wallets to which you do not own the private key. This is bullish, a supply shock is coming & the price will moon. I believe you may have meant demand shock; Supply shocks usually result in negative price effects, as the supply increases without a commensurate increase in demand the value of the currency drops. While it is possible for such shocks to be positive, if more coins are pulled out of exchanges and held up in cold storage, reducing the amount in circulation.

This is a big news, as I haven't yet known about anyajor business in Nigeria accepting cryptocurrency payments or keeping it on their balance sheets as a reserve currency. This would also bring publicity to the hotel as the teeming youthful population of Nigeria have gotten very interested in cryptos in the recent years; Could be the start of the shift of institutional investors within Nigeria. they will need to convert bitcoin somehow sooner or later, and when the time comes they will need an exchange and will have to use a bank account as well.
They wouldn't need a centralized exchange, the government and Banks blocked themselves from the Bitcoin network, but it can still go on without them. Peer to peer networks facilitate Bitcoin transactions and it cannot be restricted by financial agencies.

Nice catch, the change in the single letter is not that difficult to miss, but a user who isn't security conscious could fall for such scams. Ideally, one shouldn't respond to unsolicited messages.
Was the email sent to you? If yes, did you use it to set up any account or register for any sale for the original website? If this was a targeted scam attempt, it would indicate a breach in user information, posing more security risk.

today CHINA-CCP controls +67% of mining ( block-chain/tranaction-approval), and produces 99% of ALL BTC ASIC HW on earth.
China does not control the mining hash directly, pools in China which are the most popular is the main cause of the high percentage, this does not all those mining power originates from China; The pool members could choose to switch to another pool outside if it becomes necessary.

Bitcoin has shown a decline that is unprecedented in recent months.
That may need to be corrected to last few weeks, and the unprecedented struck out; In the last couple of months, let's use three as a reference; Bitcoin has risen from approximately $30k to around $52k right now, that's an increase of ~73%. And twice within that same period of time, the price has broken above $60k, that in no way is an unprecedented decline. $44,000 - $46,000 could serve as a strong support mark, although for now the price is rising it could drop at anytime, but shouldn't fall below that range.

According to coingecko; Bitcoin's dominance is at about 48.8% at the time of typing this reply. Dominance of a coin is based of the market cap, and I would not use that as an accurate metric for determining market movements, coins can easily manipulate their supply or price, which would affect the market cap, and subsequently affect that of Bitcoin. But I am thinking it is possible the decrease in dominance just like 2018 (below 50%) is indicating another bear market like that of 2018 gradually setting in. What is your opinion about this? Though bitcoin price can not fall below certain range even if it decreased.
I personally do not think the current bullrun is over, and even if it is, we will not experience a bear market like that of 2018, the Bitcoin space has changed a lot from then.

"Any publicity is considered good publicity" This is a very cool and innovative concept which many would be able to directly relate to, making them get interested and try to understand the mystery behind Satoshi and Bitcoin. On the representation, I would rather have Satoshi be portrayed like an ordinary person with no super powers besides having lots of tech skills and courage, he or she would be more relatable to that way. I am just worried that this project become start chilling altcoins, which is very dangerous as those altcoins are mostly companies and centralized projects.
I assume in such cases that this scenario is possible; business people look to make profit, and if a lucrative offer is presented to them to shill an altcoin or ICO, it's likely the offer would be taken.

my account has been banned from low content for 15 days. The ban was lifted today. It is possible to have diverse opinions from that of the moderators (not all mods agree on particular issues and some are more stringent than others), but the key takeaway is that it was a temporary (warning) ban which is lifted now, and you should try and improve your post quality to avoid it in the future. Apart from that, my articles have been given merit. However, even the merit post was deleted due to low content. Quality is subjective and users merit what they find worthy of their smerits. This doesn't serve as a benchmark for what posts are quality.

Will I get banned for posting multiple ANN threads in different languages Likely not, but ideally, you should have knowledge of the languages you wish to translate an ANN thread to and not simply use a translator as it is not usually accurate. You should also answer follow up questions, so only post as much as you can effectively manage, otherwise it is simply a means of appearing all-over the forum. What is considered bumping a post. do people just post the word bump
To bump a post is to push it to the top of the first page of a board by posting a bump (reply with no content). This bump could simply be "bump" or "up" etc.

Here's the link to recover hacked or lost accounts, follow the instructions given and wait for a reply - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.0When did you lose access ymto your account? Bpip shows that your account password was reset via email, which could be a random security update by the user, and it has been inactive for most of the time since then. also yesterday was trying to sent message to another member and the site asked me if i want to buy the bronze member and sent as many messages
Sending PMs would do little to help your case, and yes, there is a limit to the number of messages a user can send in a day based on their rank. Buying copper membership would help increase that limit.

But what prevents the transaction (which is already signed) from being duplicated and rebroadcasted (by someone who does not have the private key for X) so that the balance on X becomes 8 and the balance on Y becomes 2?
Confirmed transactions (on the accepted chain) are immutable and cannot be changed or duplicated. The inputs from the first transaction are already spent to balance on X, a rebroadcast attempting to send the same inputs to the same address is not possible. Also, someone without the private keys cannot send coins from a wallet.
|

In this situation, I assume the signed transaction has already been broadcast and visible on the network. Rebroadcasting a transaction does not change the details (inputs, outputs or public addresses) and cannot facilitate theft, if you rebroadcast a transaction it's simply being run by the nodes again, in cases where it may have been dropped from the mempool.
Double spending is one feature which can be used to change details of a transaction before confirmation

but still disallow spam, else you'll get in trouble.
This is usually not the case, except in extreme cases such as Yobit campaign, in other cases, managers would get off without paying more attention to the quality of posts their participants make and also in what thread. Managers and companies have the freedom to set their rules and guidelines, with some forum guides; dictating what thread fits where etc.

Rather than discussing who is right, you should rather ask for what others think about Bitcoin; The fact that someone got tons of money does not make them an expert on every financial venture, smart people stick to what they know best. Warren Buffet has expressed his lack of affection for Bitcoin, which would be because he knows very little about how it works, he could however give invaluable advice on some other investment ventures.
As an investor, focus on your own idea of what Bitcoin is and what it could be in the future.

I went through the first page of your local language thread and couldn't find any local rules applying to it, some of the local boards and most of the local threads lack proper moderators assigned by the admins, and if global mods are to take actions, they would likely be wrong according to the rules stated by the op and decided upon by the local community.
If there are no well defined rule on which topic is allowed in the thread, you can go ahead and make your report, the mod would use their discretion to act on it.
