I wouldn't call it seamless as well, bitcoin in the last twelve years has a lot of battles, from the Mt. Gox heist, to the exorbitant fees in 2017, attacks from forked coins like BCH and BSV and the FUD it got from mainstream media in the beginning.


Paypal entering the picture is a business decision, it has nothing to do with bitcoin celebrating its 12th anniversary. They can't really stop this revolution, so they might as well join and make money out of it. And so bitcoin marches towards another 12 years and we do hope that it will grow and be adopted globally.

I don't think that Nonito Donaire is way past his prime, he can still punch and has fought the best in the WBSS tournament. Donaire has fought a lot of fighters with Oubaali type and built before and he had successes against them. It's good that Oubaali will be the favourite here, would be very attractive to beat for Nonito.

I still have the Filipino Flash by UD or if by chance, can score a knock out, as he still have some power, specially that signature left hook of Nonito. And one advantage is that he is the taller guy here so he can see when Oubaali starts to charge and be ready with the counter.

I think you mixed up some things here, as an investors, they doesn't care about the status of lightning network, as long as they see the price of bitcoin going up then good enough for them. Bitcoin now has a lot of purpose though, could be as mode of payment, store of value, money, assets.

As for being a mode of payment, one drawback is its volatility, so it's really up to the merchant themselves if they want to used bitcoin as mode of payment or not. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin will be a turn-out, there are a lot of stores that are accepting LN now and it's just a matter of time before we can see more online or even offline store accepting bitcoin thru LN payment scheme.

Yes, governments are really working very hard to and try to break bitcoin's (pseudo) anonymity, so he might find success initially, but when you thought that you are free and can get away with it, suddenly the government will be hard on your trail. Monero for once with its privacy focus could be one options as well, but I'm sure we all heard about the $625k reward coming from IRS to somewhat break it as well.

Bitcoin mixers/conjoin/whirlpool could be your other options here, but it doesn't mean that you can get away with it, just saying. And how can you convert it to fiat though without going to exchange which requires KYC/AML. You can use P2P but it's not very safe as well.

Yes, the perhaps these criminals are just the same people behind this fake uniswap airdrop because they can easily deceived crypto enthusiast specially those who are new in the airdrops. And this has been growing because crypto is already in a bull run although some altcoins are bleeding.

But Uniswap is one project that is really doing good despite the so many scam attempts. So criminals are hoping to still take advantage of the situation. Will continue to post if I find some in social media's (discord and telegram) so give warnings to new and not so new users in this community.

I do agree, but everyone should be very careful, we have seen others sports trying to cope with this new normal with having safety protocols in mind. So football organisers will have their hands full because football is one sports wherein there are so many fans, I would say fanatics that implementing the safety protocols would be a nightmare for organisers.

But players should set the example here, they should be the one to follow regardless of the stature of the football players, they don't want to get this into a full blown covid-19 epidemic to football players.

I sell everything that I can get my hands on:

- laptop or computer table, those foldable one
- face mask/face shield - I would admit that I made a killing early, up until July-August, I directly import from China. But Aug onwards, there's a lot of competition so the price are going down.
- hotel inspired water based scent - how do I think of this? most hotels are closed, so did try to contract supplier for this and they are willing since their business is dead. So I made a killing as well, until those hotel legal offices contact me and most of my resellers because I'm using their name. LOL. So I have to rebrand and reinvent myself again.
- printing - since schools have started, I invested on a printer and used it for my printing business. Specially that online schooling requires students to print some modules, so it is thriving as well.

And many more, Lol, you just have to look at your environment and be imaginative in order to survived in this crisis. Or if I hear some of my customers looking for something, then I invest my time and money looking for them. I've delivered as far as New Zealand.  

Personally, I think the bubble has been burst already, and seems many have profited, I doubt that it will enjoy the successes it had. The main thing though about YFI, is that it is the prime mover, and we all know that prime movers really enjoy the support of crypto investors in the beginning pushing it as hard as they can.

But as soon as it's dump hard, and it proved itself as just a pump-and-dump scheme, I doubt that it will bounce back as many will follow the YFI hype and then investors simply moving to the next big thing. The sad thing is that many are already trap and didn't exit in time. So it's either they stay and believed that it will pump again (unlikely) or exited with some loss.

Not always the case, it's just became evident that the dollar is weakening because the US government is printing more. But it doesn't mean that when it goes up again, bitcoin will suffer. Bitcoin ecosystem, has been decoupling itself with stock market, meaning it has it's own price movement regardless if USD is strong or stock or any other traditional market is weakening.


NO reason whatsoever to donate to federal reserve, no individual in his right frame of mind will do that.

They have their own fork last September: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/september-2020-hard-fork-ocean-token-completed-8142059361d7, and probably that's the reason why scammers are targeting them.  And has a steady gains in the last month or so.

And one way is to also report this website to the domain registrar themselves if we see someone has reported this kind of malicious website in this community. That's the only thing we can do, to help it taken down ASAP so that there will be no victims.

And then educate ourselves and newbies out there, that the threat of scammers and cyber criminals are real and you don't want to be the next potential victim. It will be a cat and mouse game, but at least we are a step ahead if you know how to spot them right away.

I'm not really sure if goldbugs or precious metals holders are going to move to bitcoin just because JM Bullion was hacked. But maybe they will have to think twice though, there are so many advantage of bitcoin but it will be difficult to really convince them to abandon what they have love for many years, hence they are called gold bug.

Overall, hackers are everywhere now, from corporate or government agencies to even individuals, they are here the online world. For crypto, exchanges are also being targeted so it doesn't makes any difference, we are all vulnerable to data theft one way or another.

No, I think the best option for you is to open up a crypto exchange and tie your bank account.

At least that's how I set up mine with our local exchange, so it goes like exchange->bank account.

What do you mean mining crypto currency in your computer? what coins are you mining thru your local computer?

Yes, it's very different and you can't compare those projects early who became successful today. They really proved themselves because they started everything, like bitcoin for example, we really don't know who Satoshi is but as the main crypto, those who wanted to follow its footsteps proved themselves without running any scam.


Well the aim of ICO is good, it's that the people behind find a way to scam people with their hard earn money specially in 2017, bunch of ICO's every week, but you can count in your hands the project that didn't exit scam. And it started the trend, crypto for no-coiners become a big ponzi scheme and we had a lot of negative press. And now that we have the Defi and Uniswap hype, it is starting all over again.

Scammers are continuing to create fake Uniswap websites to lure unsuspecting victims.

Be alert and be aware that this is fake Uniswap airdrop.

Right, it is interesting that bitcoin has decoupled with stocks for some strange reason. The only reason I can think of is that even stock investors are moving to bitcoin market.


Please remember that we still have the US elections in the next coming days, $14k is a big barrier to break. But as others may have said, regardless of who are going to win in the next elections, bitcoin will most likely rally again, which means that the market is moving of it's own and is decoupling itself from the rest of global financial markets.

Ok, so he qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals in O2 Arena. And it's a pretty stack up group there, and he has won this 5th title one more than Djokovic himself. Sonego's run though has ended, but I'm sure this is not the last of his giant killing and his ranking will dramatically improved win his first finals appearance in Vienna. He earn 300 points in the lost and €85,000, not bad for just a replacement for Diego Schwartzman.

Yes, this is not the first time, Hex.win, fake signature campaign.

Perhaps the people behind thinks that we already forget the first sig campaign. Not gonna happen here, lol, with so many scam busters around this community, they will be exposed before they can even think of their excuses.

Maybe you can contact @cabalism13. He has been running Bitcointalk Charity Program - Give Hope To Everyone!, his charity program aims to help the less privilege in his home country. And since the Philippines has been devastated by another cyclone, it's about time to extend our help again.
