We didn't need some random guy whom we never heard of tell us one of the most obvious statements just because he has a lot of money!
Cryptocurrency exchanges have always been failing after some time regardless of their size. We've had small exchanges nobody heard of go under and we also had big exchanges that controlled 85% of the trading volume go under. Saying this is going to happen again is like saying the sun is going to come back up again.

Exchanges don't see things in terms of shitcoin/goodcoin, they only see it in terms of trading volume and if a coin gets a decent amount of volume or it can attract customers, they will add it. This has been the case with BSV, when it had high volume all these shitty exchanges (including the top ones) added it but when its volume dropped they all suddenly realized it is a shitcoin and started removing it while making a big show of it.

NFTs (or tokens in genera) aren't bad because anybody can make their own, they are bad simply because they are useless. There is a similar case with all the bitcoin copies and they don't offer any real utilities. Tokens are similar in the sense that they are only used to raise funds so that makes them pointless since you can raise funds using other means instead of creating a token.

It's the opposite way around, it seems like everyone here except you are unanimously agreeing on the bad behavior of Wasabi developers. And only you are getting paid to advertise their service...

I hope Ukraine can resist the invaders and take back their country but the actual events you think I'm distorting is that Russia has achieved most of its goals. Parts of Eastern Ukraine and the the strategically important South is already occupied, a little more and they'll reach Moldova finishing the first phase of the plan which is completely cutting Ukraine off from Black Sea.

Probably all the Spanish people protesting in the streets these days in the anti-NATO rally who think it is a not only a useless treaty but it is tearing their country apart are also Russian trolls

About 40 years ago we were invaded and were being bombed every day. Meanwhile thousands of kilometers away another country that we consider a friend was invaded, they lost half of their country, their military fell very fast and the capital was surrounded and it was about to fall too. We sent them a handful of military experts (while we were still fighting ourselves against 80 countries) and shortly after they liberated their whole country by kicking the invaders out.
We are talking about ZERO dollars here.

The point is that it's important who your friends are, whether they are fake ones pretending to spend BILLIONS in aids or real ones that effectively help.
In fact our Red Crescent (that's the Iranian humanitarian organization) has been sending all the help we can manage to Ukraine from day one without hesitation or expectation. That is despite the fact that Ukraine is part of the same coalition against Iran that has imposed more than 5000 sanctions against Iranians preventing us from importing any kind of medical supplies whatsoever for decades.

It's been changing ever since the support United States has been giving ISIS became apparent. If you check the series of events specifically in the past 2 years you can see this change. For example according to CENTCOM the attacks against US forces in middle east has increased 400% in the past 2 years, they were defeated in Afghanistan and had to escape in 2021. The Iraq's parliament passed a law that made it illegal for US to stay in Iraq and they have been almost all kicked out. In Syria the amount of land occupied by US is decreased to only a small part and every week their bases are being attacked. Even the heavily defended based in Saudi Arabia have been bombed by Yemen missiles and stealth drones.

It was not easy indeed. It costed us 250000 lives in an 8-year war enduring US made chemical bombs being dropped on our cities followed by 3 decades of cold war.

You don't even need actual coins to test this, in fact you should not even be testing it like this!
The correct way is first write a well decoupled code and then isolate the part where it sets the amounts, fee, etc. and then give it a mock transaction(s) to test if it sets those variables correctly.

The rising energy prices and general soaring of cost of living is increasing social unrest all over Europe. In the latest series of mass protests we are seeing thousands of anti-NATO people in streets of Spain protesting the worsening situation. One of the protesters demand is removal of US military bases and other secret US terrorist bases from their country. Remember when I talked about the US biological WMD building facilities in other countries like those in Ukraine?

Why should bitcoin price be affected when oil price changes? Like when the idiots in power fight each other shooting the energy price up!!!

If that were true, any shitcoin with a limited supply would have had the same high value as bitcoin.

The problem with altcoin bags is that the loss is usually higher than the gain which means even if one or two of them get pumped the dumping of the rest negates that profit. Which is why I always prefer trading altcoins than bag holding them and only buy them while they are starting to pump and sell them as quickly as possible before the dumping begins. That way the profit is somewhat ensured while I always have liquidity to catch any ongoing pump. Obviously this strategy is harder and takes a lot more effort, but it has lower risk.

In my opinion a better TestNet environment is one with constant automatic reset with fixed difficulty. That way you won't have to download and process 2.2 million blocks (current testnet3 height) or ~28 GB also nobody would be able to hoard coins for long if the chain resets after certain height like 1k blocks. Anybody would be able to mine a block, gets its high reward and use it.

We would just have to prevent certain attacks like one person mining 1k blocks in 1 second using high hashrate. Which could be prevented to some extent by adding extra limitations to minimum time between blocks.

That may be because the second statement is incomplete since it needs to also offer the alternative. You can't just tell people to stop using something they need without giving them an alternative. For example we know Bisq exists but it is not popular and it doesn't offer the same options like last time I checked it didn't support stablecoins like Tether which is what shitcoin traders look for.

That only works for altcoins because they are useless so people who buy them are only buying them while they are pumping and when they dump they all abandon it effectively killing the altcoin. This is never true about bitcoin simply because bitcoin is useful so even if the price dropped and those who wished to become rich overnight sold their bitcoins, bitcoin will sill remain useful and people will continue buying it.
In other words even if the imaginary big wealth of Satoshi were sold, bitcoin would continue being useful and people bring the price back up.

If you are bag holding altcoins there is a good chance that you will continue seeing losses indefinitely. You should learn from newcomers in 2018-2019 who have been similarly bag holding a lot of altcoins that kept losing their value because that's what altcoins do in the long run, they continue getting dumped.
Buying more of the same shitcoins is only going increase your losses.

This is exactly like 2019 when price was stuck in $3k range and idiots kept predicting price should fall down to $$1k-1.5k.

How come this is the worst when we had bigger crashes when price goes down 87% whereas it has just fallen about 70%.

The report is total nonsense because nobody can predict what is going to happen next, but that doesn't stop them from shooting in the dark and hoping price actually reaches their random target so that they can earn some popularity as the only ones who "predicted" it!
Guess what happens next time the market becomes unpredictable? Everyone looks to the prophets who got lucky that one time

True, but the problem is that such scripts make no sense since anybody could spend a OP_CHECKSIG output script.

Similarly it won't make sense to use OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY in first place if the spender is setting it and it can be changed specially if you add OP_CODESEPERATOR which would mean it would also make the transaction malleable.

That would work fine since the locking script is defining a strict condition of the locktime so it can't be arbitrary. Although I'm not sure you need the final OP_TRUE though.

It's mostly the latter combined with gambling tendencies of them.
Imagine you are a newcomer who sees bitcoin that is worth tens of thousands of dollars, then someone introduces you to something else that looks like bitcoin but is worth less than a cent. Then they tell you that this new thing is "better" than bitcoin and is going to "surpass" it or at the very least rise the same way bitcoin did only because it's price is so low.
Almost everyone presented with such a lie, accepts it. Partly because they want to believe that they are not "late".

I don't see how.
If for example you are spending a P2SH or P2WSH output, the hash of the entire script is already locked in the previous transaction being spent and can not change without changing that transaction also.

Bitcoin is operating as it has been ever since day one, what Wasabi wallet is doing is rendering their own service useless.

I suppose it is the same as CEX vs DEX arguments.
People continue mostly using centralized exchanges because they are more convenient despite their downsides while decentralized exchanges are mostly ignored due to hardship of using and low volume despite their benefits.

Iran used to be weak in 70s but no more. Today Iran is among the superpowers. Take mid 80s for example. A coalition of about 80 countries helped invade Iran but they couldn't take an inch of it, the invasion was repelled and the invaders were defeated.
Or for example on 8 January 2020, in retaliation to a terrorist attack conducted by US that killed the Iranian anti-terrorism general, Iran directly attacked 2 of the biggest US military bases destroying all US assets killing more than 140 troops and wounding 1800 more. Despite all the chest-pounding the only respond was US CENTCOM commander saying "Iran has reached overmatch and we are incapable of doing anything against them". He also calls this the largest  ballistic missile attack against United States in history.

It's is both funny and sad to see how Ukraine was abused by them with the promise of help while in truth they didn't do anything. Even the sanctions against Russia was a joke and they were promising actual military involvement if Russia invaded!!!

Some argue that Ukraine wasn't part of NATO but those people should check out what Lithuania was told. They basically told them that if Russia invaded their country they won't help them at all. In best case scenario they would send some aid after 180 days. By that time nothing would be left of Lithuania!!!
Even funnier than that is Finland and Sweden wanting to join this useless treaty.
