Seems like we are about entering into a new phase for Bitcoin when it gradually becomes more common in households and regular discussions. I am speculating it becomes more accepted generally by a larger percentage of the population and more of the hesitancy around it reduces it.
Privacy would also reduce with it, but that's a topic for another discussion.

You can have a change if you send 50 BTC to a forum donation address. It is a right for Bitcointalk VIP members.
The forum is no longer accepting donations: Because we are able to operate comfortably using advertising and fee revenue along with our BTC reserves, we no longer collect donations. If you want to help the forum, please make good posts, report rule-breaking posts, and invite friends. If you want to donate BTC, donate it to a charity, or maybe even to your fellow forum members.
Thank you to all past donators! You have three things with your account: Username, Display name, and User ID. Username and display name can be changed but user id can not be changed.
From my observation, theymos only changes the display name and not the username or user ID

<snip> Yes, Tor is a preferred option. And you should set up your node as you plan to, considering you're privacy conscious and moving large amounts.

Major difference is that crypto is a 24/7 market while the stock market happening and closing times. Crypto also has no entry requirements, anyone can trade in it with any amount, not the same for the stock market.
There are so many similarities between them; techniques and skills can be applied to both with just slight tweaks.
If you want to trade in crypto, do your in-depth research on crypto trading.

It is true that the network, not the price, determines Bitcoin's superiority. That's right, and 1BTC always equals 1BTC. But I never thought Bitcoin would be so wasteful. When Bitcoin was at $55K+, I had a clear idea that it might touch $100k. But that's not how we saw the loss of BTC.
What do you mean wasteful? The market does not follow the idea you have about it, it's influenced by other factors. It allows us to buy when the price drops. But did you ever think that Bitcoin would be so cheap?
I've seen it as cheap as $3k.

Has your security and privacy been compromised at any point? If not, then you can make a simple transaction with a new receiving address on wallet B. Would it then mean just simply sending over the coins in multiple transactions with different receive addresses each time to avoid a single UTXO? Sending through multiple transactions does not help much to provide privacy except if combined with other features. You can send them in different transactions through a mixer to blur the trail or convert to Monero and then back to Bitcoin. or is there anything else that can be done to emphasize a bit of extra privacy? Would connecting to a vpn beforehand make any difference? Sending everything over in one transaction would save on fees but it would compromise privacy correct?
A VPN does not provide privacy for a Bitcoin transaction, it can minimally help to protect your location but exposes you to the risk of the VPN server logging your details.

BTC is also more stable and has more value than other cryptos, because it is the first among others and has a rather steadier market value of which competes with dollar and gold currently in the market of foreign exchange.
Bitcoin has more value than other cryptocurrencies because it offers for value. It's decentralized and secure, two features you will not find on almost all altcoins. Bitcoin is not competing with either dollar or gold.

1. The coins are created by users who "mine" them by lending computing power to verify other users’ transactions which use blockchain technology.They receive Bitcoins in exchange.
Miners don't create coins, they receive them as a reward for solving the puzzle. Also, nodes verify transactions, miners confirm them. 3. Bitcoins have to be stored in a digital wallet, either online through an exchange like Coinbase, or offline on a hard drive using specialised software.
Never store your bitcoins online and never use an exchange for storage.

I went through a similar phase when I first got into Bitcoin. During the first few months or years, my focus was on altcoins, particularly how to get the right project early and hold on to it as the hype grows. This was moderately profitable for the short term, but offered no viable investment option long-term.
I eventually after lots of lessons learnt focused more on investing in Bitcoin and moving away from highly volatile altcoins, which meant slow and steady growth with no "sudden" riches.
Some learn through the experience of others, some experience it and learn from that.

Firstly, I never said it needed to grow bigger than these industries...If you actually read the rest of my post instead of snipping one sentence, then you would see that I was illustrating the remaining potential of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in comparison to national, centralized markets and stocks.
I did read the rest of your post, but I don't quote entire replies when I'm responding to them. I understood what you were saying, my point was that there should be no comparison at all between the two industries, and that's the exact same point I was making in the first reply I made which you quoted. Think about it, US banking stocks are on par with Ethereum, however Ethereum is open to the entire world...what does this say about its potential? Bitcoin is on par with Tesla, a company specializing in generating revenue primarily from electric vehicles. While having a larger reach then US banking shares, its reach is still not as far as that of Bitcoin.
Definitely looks good on paper and to an extent indicates how much Bitcoin has grown in the short space of time and the remaing potential for growth. I just feel, and this is only my personal opinion, that it sets the wrong precedence and helps on the narrative that Bitcoin is about the numbers, which ultimately leads us to having holders that don't care about privacy or decentralization.

I want to back my old profile. But, if is unrecoverable, ok, I must use this one, which I need do, to write this. I am from Czech, our words is in different format against US, but as I wrote before, You understand, which I wrote.
If you old profile remains banned, you cannot use any other account. The ban is on you, who is behind the computer and not on the account. Any account you use is ban evasion, which will get you banned.

Your data seems to have been leaked,otherwise, how would they know about you and contact you directly? It's a rinse and repeat method scammers use After a successful or not so successful scam, they compile the details and sell it to other scammers who can attempt to scam those victims or the same scammers will pose as a recovery service to try and milk out more money from you. Once you've been scammed or encountered a scam attempt, the chances of getting another one is very high, except you ditch all your personal information you were linked to.

There isn't much I can do since the script is stateless, meaning that every time you refresh, reload or navigate to another page the script runs from the beginning again. Maybe I could save the last draft to your browser's localStorage so it persists and checks if it's the same post you were writing before, but I feel like this is bit too much.
Thank you for the prompt attention. I guess I'll just try not to bounce back and forth much. There is no practical situation that needs that so you shouldn't bother much to fix what isn't really a problem. I just pointed it out incase it was a bug.

When this is considered, the suggestion that these cryptocurrencies could grow larger than some of the world's largest companies (as some, like Bitcoin, already have, is not an unreasonable one.
Firstly, Bitcoin does not have a need to grow bigger than those industries. Finances is a game of the centralized, corporate world and they have so many tricks to keep winning that game. Bitcoin is not about the numbers game, it js an alternative to that entire system. An escape from the financial trap that the governments have set up.

It seems like a lot of people on this thread are oblivious to the privacy threat which has been afoot for sometime now. Exchanges and mining are the two major points where privacy and decentralization can be lost, and at the current direction both will be hugely centralized in the coming years. and although it seems quite possible such as BlackRock buying the shares of the BTC mining farms, it looks like there is no reaction to it since we are trusting so much of the network that they will not be able to control it since there are other countries who are also mining BTC.
We shouldn't trust. I believe there should be a protocol feature to prevent centralization.

I don't think this is normal. How do I get this resolved?
You used a fee which is below the current purging rate, meaning your transaction will not be confirmed by any miner. If your transaction purpose is not urgent and you're not ready to spend more than 20 says/vbyte to get it confirmed, you can allow it to be dropped by nodes. If you want it confirmed, choose your priority fee and bump it to that, then rebroadcast. Current rate; Low, medium and high priority is approximately: 34, 37 and 42 satsvbyte.

This Pattern, will it forever return true for every Halving or there could be a possibility of the New ATH not surpassing the successive previous ATH.
Nothing is sustainable forever. The capacity of growth an industry has is correlative to how much wiggle room there is or how much money can sustainably be moved into it. We can already see reduction in how much growth there is in the Bitcoin market over the last 5 years; • From 2019 to date The price has gone from ~$3.5k to $67k That's approximately ×20 • From 2014 to 2019 The price went from ~$400 to $18k This is approximately ×45 If the trend continues we should be having lower and lower price increases until it levels out eventually.

LN is trash and not a solution i dont know why peoples keep talking about LN lets say you want to transafer 50$ in btc you need to open a channel and to do so you need to spend no less then 50$ to receive 50$
If you want to transfer $50 in Bitcoin when fees were as low as 1sat/vbyte then you have a really good deal, cause you can spend on coffee or any other really low expense you make regularly for little to no cost, over several weeks. LN may not work for everyone and is dependent on the current network congestions and the user's needs.

I know the email, who is the best person to message?
If there was a breach, the hacker 'knows' the email too, it will be on display in your profile before they changed it. Only use the original email it if as suggested above you are the only one with access to it.
