I think that Bitcoin has gotten to a point that demand would never die off to a point that it can be considered dead under a certain price point. The whole economy surrounding it has certainly adapted to price ups and downs so it's unlikely that Bitcoin would die after reaching a certain price.

Somwone was probably drunkenly using a waller that allows hand input for fees and mistook the field. There have been cases that the pool mining the transaction returned the fee but they're certainly not obligated ro.

Do let me know on how that goes. I'm not 100% sure if Uquid ia still running this promo for free cards.

The fact that a certain altcoin gets pumped doesn't necessarily mean that its developers could be involved in the manipulation. Whales poking at a coin does not imply that its developers are looking to cash out and dump the project and surely doesn't mean that it's a scam as a whole. But other than that, you can't exclude any option since proving the opposite wouldn't exactly be easy.

If OP is talking about the Winklevoss bitcoin ETF I think that this is the most likely case. The SEC delayed their decision for so long for a reason, and things aren't going to change just because time has passed. But even it's approved, there's no reason to believe that the latest bullish rise in bitcoin markets would also be transfered in the ETF's trading.

Directbet are surely a nice pick. The fact that no account was needed to bet on sports with them was an innovative advance and very suitable for bitcoin gambling from the start. However, at times of high demand when it comes to bitcoin transactions like it's been happening lately, you'd need to find a way to transact bitcoin reliably if you were to use their no-account sport betting feature.

Provided that you don't want "useless" coins, any coin that has some market value would also have decent liquidity to help you fund any project with the altcoin in question with targeted buying. You wouldn't need to buy at double the market price.

I could try a vouch copy for a review but I'd be interested to also know how configuring the bot is like. What are the requirements for one to configure and run it?

If they go unconfirmed for too long they'll likely be dropped. Don't try to re-broadcast them and export your private key to a wallet that'd handle fees properly when you see them having been dropped.

There are several authorities to which you can report phishing websites. Most importantly though, report it to Google and Mozilla so browsers can protect their users.

This is something joked about by anti-bitcoin shills but also a harsh reality. Bitcoin (on its own) can't be a currency helping the poor and unbanked and a highly traded commodity at the same time. The notion that mass adoption by developing countries would usher bitcoin to a higher price is a fallacy IMO.

Nicehash is a good long-term solution for stable profit. Other than that, you could go altcoin hunting and try to mine coins you'd speculate they'd go up in value, but bear in mind that this is mostly worth doing if you'd rather spend power and time instead of capital (mining instead of buying if you think the price will rise).

So how are those vouches going. I'd be interested to get one too for a honest review; if OP would like to have a review form a Legendary member.

I think that the basic client-server model is keeping it as simple as possible when it comes to serving content on a large scale. Such a network would require extensive testing and user support in order to grow and be developed gradually. In the end, regular servers would end up being more reliable too. I can't think of too many use-cases that would need such a network to make sure that there'd be demand for such a thing.

Reddit has an especially stupid policy on banning users. Admins go through reports by hand and biases can be very obvious. Reddit isn't open as to how many of their employed have the power to ban users but that number surely must have not grown proportionately to Reddit's growth through the years as the platform is not profitable.

Bans are not questioned and there's no appeal process. Reddit employees with ban powers can ban anyone at their will with nobody being able to question their decision. Witchunts often result unsubstantiated bans in Reddit as the lack of Reddit employees on a payroll just puts pressure on the few ones to keep the platform clean and the majority of users pleases, disregarding free speech.

Bitcoin users really need to move on another sort of forum in order to facilitate better discussions.

The latest price rise, (whilst more global and seemingly organic within the now larger bitcoin economy compared to the previous one), could very well be a product of price manipulation. If that's the case, support for such high prices wouldn't be sustainable for long. IMO, it's not too likely for the price to keep breaking all time highs on the following weeks, although that'd be nice.

There honestly isn't much to do other than wait unless your transaction is urgent and would need to be pushed as is. Only if you fall in the second category, is it worth to go an extra mile for pushing a low fee transaction into quicker confirmation.

I think that privacy is an important feature bitcoin can offer because there are certain cases of people that need it when dealing with money. Few example of use cases in which bitcoin really is the most convenient and perhaps reliable alternative to use would include controversial figures relying on donations for their work (because conventional payment channels may shut them down even after unsubstantiated reports) or people might be to scared to donate if their anonymity is at stake.

It's a widespread cloudflare problem but in spite of the low chances of individual users having their credentials stolen it's good that they've warned people to change passwords just in case.

You don't know what bitcoin is used for.

Yes, all transactions are recorded in a public ledger, but this doesn't mean that they can be associated with the type of financial transaction they're fulfilling. While the number of transactions can be associated with the price, it could very well mean that people are starting to use bitcoin as currency more to buy things and so on as the price trend currently favors spending it against the dollar, to buy goods etc.
