Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is also under the money/finance niche — so obviously it would have a part of the war to a certain extent, just as how other assets and commodities technically play a part as well. But calling it “the world’s first crypto war" is just some clickbait over-exaggeration BS.

Bitcoin isn't only for the "number go up" part — it's also there so you actually have true ownership of your funds. Assuming you're using a good non-custodial wallet, no company or entity can freeze or lock up your money like how they can with your bank accounts or PayPal account.

There can be a fine line between trading and mere gambling when it comes to how most people do it would be really dumb to provide some sort of special insurance; probably outside of bankruptcy declaration if you're trading under a business entity/company.

Other than ChipMixer(feel free to ask questions on the ChipMixer ANN thread[1]), I'd only use Wasabi[2] CoinJoins to be honest. With Wasabi, it's kinda unlikely for you to run into privacy problems as long as you don't combine mixed coins to non-mixed coins.

Theoretically not impossible; but if Putin wants to spread some propaganda, he'd focus on the likes of Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/Instagram/TikTok/etc, not some super niche early 2000s-style online forum.

So what are you speculating that's happening here that would justify a temporary disabling of password and email changing? Putin stealing Ukranian Bitcointalk accounts to spread propaganda or something like that? LOL

I could guarantee that a good number of people would want one, but the problem in this case isn't the demand; it's mostly a regulations nightmare. While I don't have information to back up this claim, I think it's a safe assumption due to the number of crypto debit card companies that provides such services in certain non-US/EU countries, but pretty much slowly but surely disappeared.

You're praising USDT a bit too much as if it doesn't have all the problems that it has. You do realize that USDT is just slightly better just because it's tokenized? Because the authorities can just order Tether(the company) to freeze USDT on your wallet if they wanted to, just as how your local bank can freeze your funds.

It's not even solely in the cryptocurrency space; the technology industry in general has always been male dominated, and that's not necessarily a bad thing! Any woman is welcome to enter this space.

You're complaining about JPowell printing so much money and hence the US dollar devaluing, and then you're here advocating for the government to give out free USDT? Make up your mind lol.

You do realize that the price of BTC has been far below $60k for a while now, right? or am I missing something here?

That APY is definitely unsustainable, and will most likely hugely drop as more BTCB gets deposited.

Not to mention that this seems to be a very unpopular BSC platform. Totally not worth risking at all.

Not sure if this is the best place to actually "study", but far more of one of the best places to talk about Bitcoin-related stuff.

Do some actual reading, and a lot of it. A lot of people thought watching YouTube of some pump and dumper would suffice. And no, I don't mean read Reddit shill threads and such; go read actual articles.

Maybe because a lot of times — it's actually true? If you know an industry well enough, it's pretty easy to see through people's BS.

Smh, another one of those "high ranks bullying newbies" merit complaint thread.

If you're asking whether you should buy or not, you probably don't know what you're planning on buying in the first place. Read.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. You know why we didn't have a similar blow-off top as what we've had in the past cycles? Because if everyone expects the same thing to happen — most of the time, it doesn't; and here we are again with most people expecting full-on bear like what we've had in the past. While I'm not saying that it's not going to happen(because it's VERY possible), people are talking as if the market was guaranteed to act the same way.

No social media is safe.. because these types of scams are mostly spread through social media sites in the first place. And scammers will find more and more enticing ways to find victims; so the only real solution here is to think realistically and in a non-delusional manner.

"if it's too good to be true, it probably is."

Using centralized platforms is still the far easier solution for now, unfortunately. Through the likes of Cash App or something similar to Coinbase's off-chain instant transactions. I know this requires KYC, but yea I think we're not close to having Lightning being bug-free enough to be used in a mass scale.

We're simply not ready to stop using CEXs yet, as obviously bitcoin isn't adopted enough to be able to buy and sell(or convert) it easily to almost anyone. What we need right now to progress are non-custodial peer-to-peer exchanges with good UX.
