Nice one Op  went through them and these are my answers to the questions.

Backing up your wallet doesn't mean you have to re backup over and over again. All you have to do is make sure your keys are safe. You don't have to check your offline backups too frequently but still you have to check them at intervals.

The Bitcoin system still remains decentralized however forks which are simply system upgrades can be done at intervals once at least 51% of the developers agree to it.

This is simply a caution phrase. Yes Bitcoin beyond doubt is the king of crypto but it still is a crypto currency so there is still a chance of failure only it is very small.

For me I'll say Satoshi saw that what he created was a break through and believed in it's potential hence that quote.

Satoshi's definition of a third party free electronic cash system.

Creating more wallets for hodling means more keys to keep safe which can be challenging. You can Hodl your Bitcoins in one wallet and kill traces to that wallet through measures like mixing. Satoshi only meant there was no limitation to the number of addresses you control.

Kind of.  The faster miners can compute block nonce and hashes the faster they can move to the next block meaning the faster they can earn rewards.

Copy and pasting is best. But beware of clipboard viruses

Flexible simply means the majority has to agree before a fork can take place.[ The users are in control]

Hahaha this could just be Theymos way of making us help moderators with their job. Anyways it ain't that bad lol.

Centralizing Bitcoin is almost impossible but not impossible 

Nahhh they aren't enjoying those were the days of the first few blocks. Managing  electrical cost ain't easy man. Like philipma1957 once said "miners are about to be in a whole lot of trouble in a few days " (halving).

Bitcoin can't be stolen like physical cash everything has to be done electronically.

The faster you solve a block hash the more difficult the next block becomes . This controls the rate at which new coins are generated.

This refers to the new Bitcoins generated of every successive block. It is a reward for miners accompanied by transaction fees in the block.

I'll consider this a rethorical question since you already know the answer.

Don't forget to keep your keys safe mate 😁

Coinbase is a centralized exchange so they indirectly control the amount of fees you pay when you try moving your coins or swapping them to other altcoins or even fiat. The fees are most times high because of the charges they bill you when you move your coins. Plus most of these big exchanges have mining pools so they can use low fees to move the coins for you bill you a high fee and confirm the transaction on the network via their nodes. And since they are in control of the coins you can't alter any of these strategies.

Now withdrawing profits from your Bitcoins this early already classes you as a short term holder. Now let's say for example you had about 0.1 Bitcoins before this recent price increase . 0.1 Bitcoin before the recent value increase was worth about 4000-4200 in dollars. Now following the current increase in price of Bitcoin, you should have about 5000 -5100 in dollars which is a profit of about $1000. If you should compare this to someone who had that same amount of Bitcoins about a few years back when Bitcoin was about $22k he would have made a profit of over $2800.

When it comes to Bitcoin, long term hodling is more profitable compared to hodling for short term except you are of course a whale  

PS ; If you wish to hodl some Bitcoins please do well to avoid using an exchange because the have total control of your assets.
If you wish to hodl set up a cold wallet and keep your keys safe mate.

A big congratulations to Cryptovator. This is not very common for a legendary reputable member like him as I have hardly come across one and when I found this i thought it was definitely worth capturing. he was actually able to achieve his merit points equal to his activity points. Both Merit and activity points of 2156. Nice one I must say I hope to see something similar sooner than I expect.  

Yes simply toggle to preference settings and change your default fiat currency to the one you want follow this guide.

Thanks Op for the heads up.

Anyways  I was not saying that I fully trust the LINUX Os, but my point is it is a better option than windows. Like for example if I was to setup an air gapped wallet I would definitely not make use of windows.

No wallet or OS is totally safe but the point is there are always better alternatives and options. If you come to think of it cold wallets are safe from the internet but are not totally safe from burglary and other physical thefts.

I have experienced that sometimes too and from my experience I think it mostly happens when the forum traffic is way high. But sometimes the strength of our internet connection can also be a contributing factor.

It is not like that for everyone. It depends on the kind of browser and VPN you are using. The more private your connection is the more captchas you may likely solve.
You can try using
If you have persistent difficulties with the CAPTCHA, go here after logging in. to bypass the captcha but be careful as that link can be used to brute force your login because captchas help slow down brute forcing process since they have to be solved manually.

As for screen verification when you try accessing some pages especially when you click ALL it happens when the forum traffic is high.
The last DDoS attack was on BPIP so an Enter button was added to first be clicked before being able to access BPIP.

Firstly meta mask is not a safe wallet will advice you to kindly sweep your funds from both of them.
You can move the eth to a new mycelium wallet mycelium supports eth and Bitcoin.

This is one of the best advices I've seen today. During my newbie journey before I joined this forum I knew little about how privacy works and how to even manage it. However as I spent more time I began to get the bigger picture.
Using old wallets you used when you were less aware of your privacy for storing your Bitcoin hodlings is a very wrong move. because unknowingly to you, you may have been exposed to some phishing attempts in the past or already have your computer being monitored by some hacker via a malware without your knowledge.

Now when I got to understand these things I knew the best idea was to start afresh. I did this by formatting my computers removing the pre installed windows and installing a more open source software (LINUX). Doing all these helped keep me safe from hacks and phishing malwares.

As for this, the ultimate ownership of a wallet is in the seed phrase and master private key. Passwords are only used in wallets like Electrum to encrypt the file hodling the seed phrase and private keys.

Ponzi schemes should never be classified as gambling because they have parallel motives. A lot of Ponzi schemes are just layout plans to scam people who are either not smart enough or are too greedy. Gambling on the other hand is actually a fun activity that has some added financial gains however it's unfortunate that many persons gamble not because of the fun activity but because of the added financial benefits.
The idea behind a true gamblers motive is to have some fun and hopefully make some extra money along side as he stakes. However someone in a Ponzi scheme setting is not trying to have fun but works totally with the motive of his personal gain in mind. Which is why they end up as scam victims in the end.

That is where a lot of people get it wrong. The idea that gambling is a get rich quick scheme or an avenue to make more money is a wrong idea which actually makes them deviate from a healthy gambling practice to a very poor gambling practice just because their aim is to make more money from it. The more they tend to take gambling activities too serious and spend too much time on staking and other gambling activities they begin to slip in more important aspects of their lives.
In some cases the situation can be soo bad that they eventually become gambling addicts. It is also important to note that gambling responsibly doesn't actually depend on the financial status of the person but rather the level of personal discipline the person has attained.

Arguably, the idea that someone should keep his gambling activities a secret is actually wrong. Now for a core gambler gambling is seen as a normal fun activity or a normal leisure activity and therefore they will definitely be of the opinion that there is no need to keep it hidden. Logically it sounds right. Gambling is supposed to be a totally fun activity however unfortunately most people no longer see it as a fun act because of the added financial gain.
If a family member should end up finding out that you're a gambler and you've been hiding it they will feel very bad. Sometimes not even because it was gambling but because of the fact you hid something from them. It could even lead to worse if they see gambling as a wrong act.

Before diving into anything new, it's wise to take a step back and conduct some research. This preliminary investigation helps us gain a clear understanding of what we're getting ourselves into, thereby minimizing the risk of failure and the potential for addiction, especially in the realm of gambling.

Observing the situation, it appears that he hasn't yet developed a severe addiction, leaving room for intervention and support before the situation worsens. It's unwise for individuals to exhaust their entire income on gambling, leaving insufficient funds for essential family expenses. Making prudent decisions regarding gambling is essential to avoid such predicaments affecting our friends.

If you're looking to provide assistance, a consistent reminder of the potential losses associated with excessive gambling can serve as a helpful intervention strategy. By emphasizing the negative consequences of depleting finances through gambling, we can encourage more responsible behavior and discourage harmful habits.

There are a lot of activities that could cause behavioral change in people however gambling should not be a part of it. Aside from the fact that gambling activities have both some financial Gains when we win and financial loss when we lose, it is is supposed to be a fun activity. Since gambling activities can be classified as fun activities, then logically it is not supposed to have negative behavioral effects on the gambler.
When a gambler tends to get certain negative changes in his characters, it is often a result of improper placement of priorities or due to the fact that he is actually abusing gambling by carrying out unhealthy gambling practices. Adults should be smart enough to know how to manage their gambling rate and activities.

Going hard on a gambling addict will only make things worse. This is where a whole lot of people get it wrong. If you isolate yourself from an addict that loves you they will be hurt more and sometimes become idle which can even make them become more inclined in wrong gambling activities and practices. Yes it is easier to abandon them than help them but if we really love someone that is caught up in addiction we will definitely find a way to help them out of it.
And of course helping them out by talking to them and Expressing the hurt they cause you is difficult but it is worth helping them also out of an Addiction.

This is a scam website. I checked it up with about  3 trusted tools and the ratings a far low., website was created about six months ago plus the traffic is way low.
Besides Why do you even need to transfer Bitcoins to some sort of exchange you are skeptical about?
I kindly suggest that if you want to convert your BTC to cash you can easily do a simple P2P exchange with members of the forum. Or you could use a popular exchange like binance though you will have to do a KYC.
If you really want to keep your privacy I suggest you do a P2P with a forum member or use a local exchange.

Of course humans are sometimes impaired by their emotions and besides it's what makes us human. However when it comes to gambling activities, we should try as much as possible to anull the need or scenario of making wrong decisions because of emotional tension or stress.
As a gambler your ability to arrange you priorities matter a lot because it helps gamblers control their gambling rate to avoid things like over staking because you are happy  or because you lost and want to get your post funds back. A gambler should not allow emotions make him become an addict.
