One of the facts said that " 64% of Bitcoins are never used and will never be used"

1. The majority of mined Bitcoins have never been used
Roughly, 17 million bitcoins, which is the strongest and most popular cryptocurrency in the world, have been mined or created, so far. Of that number, 64% have never been used.

A large portion of these bitcoins is likely lost forever because, among other reasons, owners misplaced their “wallet keys”. So, their bitcoins will never be used. More about that later.

All in all, although there are 21 million bitcoins in the circulation for miners to dig them out, the actual number out there is probably millions less than that.

Whenever someone tries to talk you out of investing on BTC and other coins remember that crypto shows its full potential in Covid period and it's the last man standing tall over other assets out there, if this doesn't motivates you I don't know what will.

Analysts at JP Morgan and DailyFX claim that we are in a cryptocurrency winter. However, other analysts, including John Bollinger, disagreed. The creator of the technical indicator of the Bollinger Bands believes that Bitcoin has already recorded a price floor of $ 30,000.

The thing with Twitter is, Jack doesn't have as much power as everyone think he has. Sure he's the CEO, but he's not a majority shareholder, and he's definitely not some Twitter overlord that gets to call literally all the shots. Executive committees and company board of directors has significant power over public companies.

In addition to enabling banks to allow their consumer customers to buy, sell and hold bitcoin alongside their bank accounts, Fiserv and NYDIG are working toward implementing additional functionality, including the ability for banks to implement bitcoin-based rewards programs.

Given that most of us believe that Bitcoin will increase in value over time, you will want to spend it instead of Hoddle and let it appreciate.
Example: Suppose I bought a car with 1 Bitcoin today, but the value of Bitcoin doubled next week, which means I'd better use fiat currency.

I am not sure, my exchange may require 10 or more confirmations.  I've just glued to the PC waiting.

0: Payments with 0 confirmations can still be reversed! Wait for at least one.
1: One confirmation is enough for small Bitcoin payments less than $1,000.
3: Enough for payments $1,000 - $10,000. Most exchanges require 3 confirmations for deposits.
6: Enough for large payments between $10,000 - $1,000,000. Six is standard for most transactions to be considered secure.
60: Suggested for large payments greater than $1,000,000. Less is likely fine, but this is to be safe!

I now see it in exactly the same way. Trading is a lot of fun, at least in the beginning, but it can quickly turn into frustration if you make mistakes and have to watch your hard-earned BTC melt away.

Basically, this graphic sums it up very well here:

As a Hodler, you simply go through life much more relaxed, but have less excitement.

if you are thinking that the signature campaign should be banned to reduce the spam, No it most likely will not happen.

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

 - Removing signatures or sig ads globally.
 - Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
 - Banning account sales.

First, most people complaining about merit are constantly posting garbage, and should not rank-up. The forum is not a welfare system; you don't run through a few hoops and then get paid for doing something that nobody actually wants. I like that good forum members can make money, especially when said forum members are in poorer countries and this is a major opportunity for them. I very much do not want to destroy the sig-ad/airdrop/bounty "industry". But I am not going to tolerate people posting garbage upon garbage. If the merit system completely fails and I can't think of anything else to replace it, then my next step will probably be to completely remove all ways for forum users to make money from posting (eg. removing signatures entirely).

Maybe there are ways for people who were making money by posting garbage on the forum to make money on other sites with easy bounties, etc. (For example, I don't know if they're actually any good, but https://bountyhive.io is currently advertising on the forum.) But people should use the forum to talk about these money-making ideas, not as a way of making money itself. Once you spend a lot of time here, you may be able to make some money here (which is great!), but you should consider this a far-off hope, not your primary objective.

If China wants to crackdown Bitcoin mining activities, miners will go elsewhere. This is actually a good thing for cryptocurrencies, as it shouldn’t be under a decentralised, power-obsessed regime. China can play with its digital yuan.

Raw results:

This already happened years ago since for many years China hasn't had "majority of hashrate". I speculate that only about 20% of the hashrate is currently located in China, the rest is spread across the globe. Unfortunately people usually confuse "mining pool" (which a server that miners coming from all around the world can connect to) with "mining farm" (which is actual hashrate). There are multiple mining "pools" owned by Chinese that have majority of hashrate among them but there aren't enough mining farms in China to get "majorith of hasharate".

Does anyone have resources that might have a list or collection of data on Bitcoin Talk users that could be used to determine LONG standing in the community. Any resources that could better quantify the most positively legendary figures from THIS community.

I've been seeing bounty or signature scams for a while now. It can be accepted if it's a new member. But it's hard to believe when it's a big member. Is there no system to stop it?theymos Can't make rules?

19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

For example, before announcing in any bounty / signature market, you have to pay the payment from the companies. Or take part of the money. Then maybe the scam can be stopped.

The $30k support was just broken and it's currently trading between $29.5k and $29.9k, would this signify that bears have dealt a deadly blow?

The support is very weak from below $30,000 to $24,000 and if the support around $24,000 is broken, a flash crash, another horrific crash, will sink the price to $19,000. Price will probably be hanging around $24,000 to $27,000 before it crashes.

It is the possibility for the market in this chaotic (with FUD) and high volatile period. I am not Bitcoin Bear, I am bullish with Bitcoin till the end of this year at least, for this big bull run.

I am interested in joining the airdrop but are there any requirements for you to claim the free airdrop, I have already downloaded the wallet applications

what exchanges this coin will be first listed? Exciting for this to be launched.
