Bitcoin is pseudonymous every transaction made, is transparent in Blockchain network that can be seen by anyone just by searching the address from there you can see where funds was sent. And yes, nodes can reveal IP addresses but not accurately.
One thing your friend forgotten is mixer that mix your every transaction to other user and sending to multiple different address, it might be a solution but not 100% guaranteed

I don't know how and why you consider it as a boring investment if everyone will own bitcoin. Also, how can this become a threat to the market value? Just because the price of bitcoin is so slow to increase doesn't mean that the main cause is it becomes a common investment, there are so many reason but this is mainly not because of the reason you have said.

Yes, most people just give up after the first try and that is why they never become successful. Success is not supposed to be easy or else it wouldn't be much of success, would it? The more difficult something is the more difficult it is for others to follow and do the same. If you are very good at something very rare then you will always have work and success because it is very difficult to copy. Becoming successful is something very few do. If just anyone could copy the success then the success would be worthless.

Where is the link though? And just what others have said, Elon Musk has been used by scammers to make this fake BTC/ETH giveaway. But it's good that the community is actively reporting this kind of stuff around so that newbies won't fall for this trick.

@grolsch - noobs fall for this trick because of their greed and think that they can make free money here.

It's an old thread guys. If he was considering an investment a year ago he either did it or not. There's no point in giving him advice now.

I think that it's a good investment but any newbie can see that it isn't stable.

Are a lot of terrorist organisations not advanced enough to know what's best to use for security... Also if this goes through I doubt companies are going to make separate versions without back doors... (perhaps this could incentivise Asia to produce different devices or Europe/australasia to start producing better secure devices that don't have random holes for the US government).

The only thing I think the government can do is to regulate bitcoin, but putting a ban on it totally, it's impossible. The world is moving away from analog into a digital world era and cryptocurrency is leading way for that. Inasmuch you can say, the most secure and fastest way to actualize digital era is to adopt blockchain globally without further delays and sentiment's from the government bodies.

Actually I think the it's looking into tracking this means law enforcement/communications detectives have probably already looked into it? They probably won't release tools anywhere other than interpol (if that) but it's probably safe to assume it isn't too hard for law enforcement to track something like this, as a difference, they'll have to keep tracking EVERYONE in order to store the required information of whos transacting with whom...

I don't see any hard facts here other than your name. It's just opinions from anti-bitcoin believers who think bitcoin is not worth it.
Why would it matter though ? People will still be holding bitcoin no matter what Peter has to say about it for they know this guy has been speaking ill about bitcoin since the beginning. Besides that, everybody has an opinion but that doesn't make it into a reality.

Yes, it is great to see that countries like Japan are stepping up when it comes to a higher technology of transactions.
But we need to remember it is not Bitcoin which will be on the front. It is still their own currency just digitized.

By using this one, all the information of my wallet was saved in my google drive, since there is someone from my family who knows my account. I already discussed this because I also think the same thing before. Luckily, I have someone who I can really put my trust that's why I am confident to trust my google drive to her.

You should've probably read the comments at the reddit post itself, or at least did a bit of research. A milestone move? More like banks just wanting to milk cash out of people more. There would be no doubt insane amount of transaction fees to be asked, much so that you'd actually question yourself that why am I even buying BTC through this way?. On another hand, even if we do consider BoA accepting crypto due to this, with how they are not really releasing any official statement, it may as well not exist imo. It's like their walking right at the border, so they can change positions quickly enough to prevent any damage caused by either believing or not in crypto.

Buying your flight tickets with Bitcoin to eventually get laid with Bitcoin. Lets hope that this becomes a common thing everywhere in the world. It´s just hard to put a digital currency in a strippers underwear....

You posted a thread June 30, 2020, 02:50:08 PM and here is the Title: Trying to recover funds from bitcoin scam.

Now 9 hours after, you posted yet another thread again regarding the same matter?? Don't expect too much here and better report it to the authorities there. Maybe there are some that might help you but not to the extend that they will do a way to get your money back because once you gave your money to a scammer, it will not go back to you ever. And please don't create multiple threads regarding your problem because it will not help you at all. One thread is enough already.

I would rather do it manually than just pressing the "Undo" button. It only takes a short while to manually verify everything.

What I am doing is that on my desktop and mobile device when sending Bitcoin, I usually spend time looking at the first and last letters/numbers to see if they are a match or not.

I always double or triple check before sending Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other tokens.

Aside from OP's list,
Don't let other people know your wallet keys and never used another laptop/PC which you are not in control with when accessing your account.
Some cases may happen in accessing your account in computer shops have left unattended or not even close properly giving a chance for the owner/controller of the shop to trace what you are doing, and that possible they can access your account without any permission.

If we are wanting to keep safe all the time, we should also be careful in accessing our wallet. And as I said, better to have your own controlled PC (if we have nothing) rather than to compromise it.

Bitcoin become so prominent all over the world, we have so many users of bitcoin but I don't think that it is more popular than the traditional banks, there are so many people who still don't know things bout crypto world and they still keep on using the traditional banks, cryptocurrency is just alternative for fiat currency so, and fist currency is the standard currency that is in the traditional banks.

If you are going to compare between two, I think bitcoin is safer and faster transaction compared to traditional banks because it happens online, in terms of security you should use a hardware wallet to avoid attacks from hackers. An online wallet is not advisable for me because it is really prone to attacks.

For experience in cryptocurrency trading, I have traded this coins and find out how volatile these coins could be, to avoid this loses, you as a trader must develop a strategy to trade positive. Although the first time I traded was a laughing stocks because I lost all my trades. But getting the needed tutorials from good traders made me up to were I am today. Now, I can trade cryptocurrency for gains and am into daily trading of cryptocurrency.
