Because democracy and people's vote is only good as long as it gives the result that the big players want (ie. United States), otherwise they oppose it just like what the West is doing these days. It's actually quite funny how Russia used the same "democracy" the Americans always advertise in those regions.

Government prints fiat --> fiat value drops --> inflation goes up
Government prints more fiat --> fiat value drops more --> inflation goes higher
Government prints even more fiat while playing with interest rates --> fiat value drops eve more --> inflation happens with recession

One thing to remember about money printing and inflation is that it doesn't have to happen immediately. For example a part of inflation in US today is because of the money printed in 2020 pandemic.

https://www.usdebtclock.org/ shows the US national debt and how it is constantly going up. It recently set a new ATH at $31 trillion!!!
The site also has a list of other countries, none of them look good.

You should remember the whole story not only parts of it.

Bitcoin price was already rising and Musk's tweet just became viral adding to the existing hype but the media tried to convince everyone that the rise was because of his tweets.
After that when the drop began, he started spreading FUD about bitcoin contributing to the drop and again the media tried to convince people that the drop was because of his tweets!
Finally he tried to spread more FUD about bitcoin and its energy consumption but because price had reached a bottom, all of his efforts failed. This is something the media never told you specially when he was still insisting on his FUD and price kept going back up setting the ATH at $70k.

I think it is worth remembering that Binance (and some others like it that don't list BSV today) have been supporting this scam altcoin for a long time before they removed it. Basically they were all happy to list this obvious scam as long as it had a high volume and could give them a lot of money and delisted it as soon as the volume dropped and the pressure from the community became bigger than the profit they could make.

Lest we forget how Binance was offering mining pools money to commit a 51% attack just to reverse their stupidity (when they got hacked).

It's because some people got into this world wanting to make money and at the same time were too lazy to research what they were buying. Most of them think bitcoin is like PayPal where the only way to use it is to sign up somewhere!

It gets worse when it comes to altcoins since they don't usually have any decent wallet or any SPV clients at all. So you'll have to run the full node of that shitcoin or buy a hardware wallet or store it on an exchange, they obviously choose the last option since it is cheaper and they can dump them any time they want without needing to wait for hundreds of confirmation.

You don't need to reveal your identity to "get bitcoin", you only do it when you go on a centralized exchange and use your centralized payment system (banks, credit cards, etc) to swap your fiat for bitcoin. It has always been like this from day one. And it is not specific to bitcoin, whenever you use centralized services you are revealing your identity one way or another. Sometimes the degree differs but your identity is revealed nonetheless.

Governments have never been concerned about people being scammed. What they are scared of, specifically US is when companies start "print their own money", ie the stablecoins. So they will do anything they can to put an stop to it. Lest we forget their anger at Tether and their inability to shut it down so far.

Besides, Biden should really worry about United States National Debt that just set a new ATH of a ridiculously high value of $31 trillion. It grow over $1.5 trillion over the past 30 days! ....and yet they keep printing more dollars...

Except that Saudi's oil production has been dramatically decreased after Aramco was hit by the Yemenis resistance so they are not selling as much oil as before. On top of that ever since the failure of the American weapons they bought (like the Patriot system that proved to be completely useless in protecting Aramco or even US bases in Saudi Arabia from being bombed), they started buying weapons from the Chinese and Russians and also sell more oil to the Chinese instead of selling it to US...

I'm curious about the source of your claim about "peeps" being against bitcoin adoption in El Salvador. Specially since it doesn't really cost anything to adopt bitcoin! How much money did the El Salvador government spend on it anyways? Hire some programmers to create that wallet and pay them a grand?! You can't build health facilities with that much money.

I honestly have not seen anybody who actually thinks holding bitcoin in long term is a bad idea! There are definitely a lot of idiots who spread FUD but even those people don't think that since they are buying bitcoin themselves, specially in the dips.
13 years of going up and more up has proven that.

A good advice but irrelevant reason. Companies aren't going bankrupt for no reason these days. They go bankrupt because of the economic situation in those countries, for example in Germany they go bankrupt because of the high energy costs and the shortage of it.
Exchanges, specially the big ones, are not going to go bankrupt that easily. They mostly go bust when they get hacked.

A much better advice is to not trust anything centralized which includes USDT which is one of the most centralized altcoins that can go bust at any time.

P.S. There is no reason for bitcoin go any lower than this.

It is called "dust attack" (not dusting) and that is not how it works. They send a small amount of coins to an address that is usually empty so that they can force you to combine that output with another coin from a different address so that they can find the link between the two (or more) addresses. They still can't track you or find your identity this way though.

Exchange are not wallets and if you are keeping funds there, you have a lot more to worry about. Not to mention that in most cases your identity is already known!

There are more people warning about the wave of bankruptcies in Germany every day.
The most recent one is the head of the German Institute for Economic Research, professor Marcel Fratzscher. In his recent interview he "warns of a wave of bankruptcies in German companies".

Just as I said before, the biggest challenge German economy is going to face from now on is bankruptcy and the fleeing capital since due to competition the products made inside Germany would be a lot more expensive than same product made elsewhere. Consequently they would either be forced to shut down or move everything abroad, in either case lots of regular Germans will lose their jobs.

Even if you were a million percent sure that RMB and Yuan were going to the moon, you should still not buy stablecoins because they are shady centralized shitcoins that can freeze your money or simply scam and run away.

The exchange rate charts don't show any major change though.

In any case, if you look at the act alone this conclusion (strengthen their currency) makes sense and it may very well be one of the motivations; but I believe there is a bigger picture here. China is not doing ONLY that, there is a lot of other steps they are taking. Like the ones I listed, and I clearly see a trend.

A nuclear war where 2 nuclear powers hit each other to mutual destruction is different from one nuclear power nuking another unarmed nation. In other words history suggests this part of your comment not correct. United States dropped 2 atomic bombs on 2 Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki wiping out their entire population. There was no negative impact elsewhere on the planet and only Japanese people suffered from this atrocity.

Basically Binance relies on the fact that altcoin traders and bag holders don't bother doing research (otherwise they wouldn't have been bagholding altcoins). So they released some source code a the start and later they moved to complete closed source without removing the claim of being open source. So newbies see that lie about being open source on their website and maybe see a github account and think the wallet is safe to use!

In a way any market that you can trade in are the same. You can only make profit if you can speculate in that market by knowing what affects it and will lose money if you enter it blindly.
But the difference that bitcoin has from other markets is that it is on an adoption path which means its price will always go up in the long run. Unlike stocks which don't really have an "adoption phase" and can only go up if the company is doing well or the economy is good.

You don't need to be a whale to make profit, you just have to be wise.

The cryptocurrency (aka altcoins) market can be compared to penny stocks market which is a small market that lists shit stocks with low value and most of them have no utilities and die sooner or later. Altcoins are the same. We also have the market manipulation that is dominating the altcoin market because it is not regulated.

All fiat currencies are always in a bear market simply because there is an unlimited supply of them. In other words the governments keep printing them so they lost their value over time.

Considering the inflation in US and how price of everything is going up, US dollar could be considered in a "bear market".

They are using "specialized" hardware that can perform A LOT better than GPUs when computing. They are called application-specific integrated circuit which is basically a specialized microchip that is designed specifically to compute SHA256 hash of bitcoin block headers in a loop. Which is why these ASICs can only be used for mining bitcoin (or its copies) and not other altcoins with different hash algorithm or vice versa.

well CBDCs are already being used on a moderately large scale! The Chinese one for example surpassed $15 billion volume last I checked and it is accepted by millions of shops inside China.
As for buying bitcoin, there is not much difference between using a CBDC or your bank account (wire transfer, credit cards, etc.) to buy bitcoin.

You have to first parse/deserialize the transaction, so you either have to read the first link you posted (raw-transaction-format) to learn how to do it or find a library that does this.
Then you'll have a transaction that has a list of inputs (tx_in), in each input you will have a transaction hash and an index. The combination of these two is the outpoint.

That hash in each outpoint is the double SHA256 hash of the transaction that contains the output (or coins) you are spending.
That index is the index of that output (or coin) inside the previous transaction's output (tx_out) list.
