483  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of your first contact with BTC? on: May 27, 2021, 11:17:14 PM
Looking at it that way OP. Paying with bitcoin makes you a citizen of the world and be able to pay without borders, without a credit card that for some is difficult to obtain.
My first bitcoin wallet filled me with excitement. Then that emotion grew when I began to fill it with my first sats, as well as giving sat gifts to my older nephews.
Bitcoin is my present and my future, I am also planning with it the future of the smallest children in my home.

Thanks OP for this post. You made references to this publication. Sometimes I like to cite posts so that other members can also document themselves.

What I think of Vitalik is good news for the current debate that we are concerned about the negative effect on the environment of the use of cryptocurrencies. Vitalik, please give it a try, don't be just advertisements. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are here to stay for which we must use it responsibly.

Quote
The Ethereum Foundation wrote in its blog that if the switch to POS is successful, it could reduce Ethereum’s energy use by up to 99.95%. A POS Ethereum theoretically “consume something on the order of 2.62 megawatts,” the blog says. “This is not on the scale of countries… but that of a small town (around 2,100 American homes). For reference, POW consensus on Ethereum currently consumes the energy equivalent of a medium-sized country. "

485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iran bans Bitcoin too on: May 27, 2021, 10:33:29 PM
When it comes to governments, I might think that Iran's most recent ban is due to protect its investors or maybe it is because the elites, and some governments want to participate with bitcoin, and since bitcoin already had a high price. They have wanted get it down with these FUDs to get into the game.
This Cointelegraph post has cleared up some doubts on that topic for me.

Quote
The reporte also notes that this dynamic "has become all but an official policy. "In late April Iran passed laws that will enable banking entities to purchase imports with cryptocurrencies, and then in May the government appeared to try and strengthen its grip on crypto with a law banning the use of foreign-mined BTC for imports.

486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What effect does a growing number of altcoins have on Bitcoin on: May 27, 2021, 08:59:24 PM
I have wondered why the new projects have not created solutions in order to improve bitcoin.
Really, I wish that was the case and that the new developments were focused on meeting the demands of bitcoin users. But the opposite is happening as OP mentions.
The new coins or the altcoins are totally detached from the functionalities of bitcoin so I agree as some of you say that they want to be superior to bitcoin and that is their purpose.
Although I think they will not make it, bitcoin has faced battles from which it has remained undefeated.
487  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mining Council on: May 26, 2021, 11:41:43 PM
Always expect a meeting like this to take place. Why? There is a lot of interest in large investors in Bitcoin and if we want to move to the next level they must study how Bitcoin miners can reduce electricity consumption. It has not yet been shown how they are going to do it because obviously they need an exhaustive study to meet the objectives that are of interest to all in which bitcoin shows that it is reducing the environmental impact.

In relation to Elon Musk, he leads the Tesla brand that is an environmentally friendly vehicle, as an influencer in cryptocurrencies he needs to show that he supports the best initiative that has been made with Bitcoin. I think that if the plan devised at this meeting is accomplished, we will all benefit. It is worth noting that Michael Saylor also participated in this meeting without a doubt that he is a great strategist and ally that has bitcoin.
488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 🔥 WOW, Michael Saylor and Elon Musk, What do you think? on: May 26, 2021, 12:39:47 AM
Honestly, I was looking forward to a meeting like this between Michael Saylor, Elon Musk or anyone who has a great interest in fixing the issue of bitcoin and its effects on the environment.

On the other hand, I would like to point out the following observation made by a user on Twitter.
It took just 6 minutes for Elon Musk to create the tweet informing that he had spoken with the American bitcoin miners so that the bitcoin market would try to raise the price.
We have become emotional investors and we are very attentive to the tweets of Elon Musk and the reactions of the FUD to overturn the crypto market.

Let's take a look at the tweet:

Everyone in the crypto market needs to stop reacting like this to some tweets

489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could eco-friendly pools like Terra Pool end the energy consumption discussion? on: May 22, 2021, 11:41:42 PM
I think we should forget Elon Musk's support for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and share real news about bitcoin that will improve the market.
It was a serious mistake for Elon Musk to invest in bitcoin without being 100% sure like all the great defenders like Jack, Michael Saylor and others.
Not only rich people have invested in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, there are also people who depend on bitcoin for their daily needs and with the broken market it is very hard to get it up soon, so I point out the unfounded decision of Elon Musk as very negative.
Jack says bitcoin as we know it is climate friendly. Let's learn more in the next article:

Quote
Jack Dorsey Says Bitcoin Can Make the World Greener. Could He Be Right?

So it seemed exactly backward what Dorsey was saying, that bitcoin was actually positive for the environment. To support his assertion of him, Dorsey had shared a new white paper from Square, his other company, which argued that "Bitcoin mining presents an opportunity to accelerate the global energy transition to renewables," and "could encourage investment in solar systems."

490  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oh, market manipulation is finally bad now? on: May 22, 2021, 10:38:46 PM
Honestly, I always thought that Elon Musk preferred Doge to bitcoin because Elon is a man who likes to attract attention and the meme coin makes more attractive.
When Michael Saylor replied to his tweet I thought we could have won an ally but I was not so convinced. Then came the change in his bio "bitcoin", soon after bitcoin no longer appeared in his bio.
Hmm, bad news to come.
He started tweeting about doge and I assumed he was no longer supporting bitcoin.
491  Other / Archival / Re: The community created a petition: Elon Musk, sell your bitcoin on: May 22, 2021, 10:17:18 PM
I also didn't like that Elon Musk changed his mind to bitcoin and caused the market to crash. Perhaps his position of being the richest man in the world makes him have the desire to want to manipulate the market. I think he's losing credibility because of all the known antecedents.
I agree with you guys, Elon Musk does not deserve our attention, at the end of the day he interested us only because he was a powerful influencer who had invested in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is going to rebound from this crash because it is not the first, it has been strong before Elon Musk invested in it. Now bitcoin will come out on top for everyone's support.
492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodl is not the best option as it seems on: May 22, 2021, 09:35:40 PM
It is convenient to buy bitcoin at any time. There are those who hodl their bitcoin forever because they have a long-term purpose, others buy and sell on a daily basis like crypto traders. Everyone gives bitcoin the best use of it and the one that suits them best, activities in crypto never stop.

We should not be surprised but bitcoin is like that, you want it or you leave it.
The important thing is not to lose perspective if we want to maintain the freedom that we have achieved with decentralization thanks to bitcoin.
493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you trust centralized exchanges? on: May 22, 2021, 09:09:50 PM
Fortunately, there will be justice for the culprits of this crypto scam. I do not know the background of this Turkish exchange platform.
It is appropriate to recognize that we are vulnerable to being users of websites like this and being scammed and causing serious consequences for the crypto community and it is logical that governments act in retaliation to prohibit activities with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

A Turkish court jailed pending trial six suspects late on Thursday as part of a probe into cryptocurrency trading platform Thodex, including the CEO's siblings, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said.

More recent information about this case as tracking transactions here:

494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will the collapse of the media mean the collapse of cryptocurrency? on: May 22, 2021, 08:32:31 PM
The means of social communication are necessary because it is the spokesperson for everyone because we are a society.
It is obvious that we are concerned about the powerful influence it has among us that affects all markets, especially that of cryptocurrencies, which is volatile.
We have two problems that we should not ignore is to show that the use of energy consumption by bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is not as harmful as the use of other industries and that we have the mission of contributing to the use of cleaner energy.

Every time the Chinese government announces the reduction of bitcoin mining and trading in the nation, it creates a nervousness that causes the market to crash.

There is great optimism that the price of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will recover as good news begins to appear and thus stimulate market supply and demand.

Quote
Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers compared crypto to gold as a safe haven asset.

“Crypto is here to stay, and probably here to stay as a kind of digital gold,” Summers said in an interview with David Westin on ”Bloomberg Wall Street Week.” “There’s a good prospect that crypto will be part of the system for quite a while to come.”

495  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum or Binance Chain (BNB)? on: May 22, 2021, 07:29:11 PM
I'm still using ethereum for some things like hodl, paying for gas, and exchanging it for fiat. I like Binance as an exchange platform, P2P, Binance DEX, and now BSC I have not had any problems. Since I am a regular user of Binance, it is obvious that I am interested in their BNB token for the whole range of services and more to come. It is an advantage for users that in Binance Smart Chain the fees are cheaper and the transactions are faster, that's why I use the two networks 30% ethereum and 70% BSC.
496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Stablecoin is the most Trustworthy? on: May 22, 2021, 12:00:18 AM
To think that USDT could collapse would be a disaster. Although I think it could not happen because for a reason it is the most used stable coin in the market.

Here is an interesting thread by Caitlin Long, the founder and CEO of Avanti Financial group that alleviates concerns that may arise from the fact that Tether is a stablecoin is not backed 1: 1 by USD and that the most recent events it has suffered bitcoin could lead to further complications.

I particularly liked this argument:

Quote
10 / Plus, if #Tether stays a de facto credit hedge fund by investing reserves this way, markets now can safely predict that #bitcoin & #crypto prices will likely exhibit high correlation w / credit markets. They will probably correct together.

497  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which best Altcoins to buy & HODL for some months on: May 21, 2021, 11:04:48 PM
My investment is defined like this:
BTC: long term.
ETH: medium, long term.
BNB: medium, long term.
AVAX: short, medium and long term.
In addition, my ability only allows me to create these investments. The advantage that with them I can get fast fiat. I understand that there are people who want to risk their money with new coins and they are lucky. If you are lucky you have the right to give it a try.
498  Economy / Economics / Re: Risk of Inflation in Economy. on: May 21, 2021, 10:42:20 PM
Without a doubt, inflation is everyone's problem. Because we must think about the most vulnerable people who live in our countries, we can see it in our families and friends and little by little we realize that it is a bad thing for everyone because inflation tends to grow.

The goal of all is to fight to prevent the increase of poverty that is caused by the problems of the world's economies.
Fortunately, Bitcoin was invented to offer solutions to these socio-economic problems for which we are fighting to make it a success.
499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This isn't the first time the dip has happened on: May 21, 2021, 09:09:02 PM
As a matter of course, bitcoin price corrections create uncertainty for investors. There are those who love money and invest in bitcoin for money. others who believe in decentralization and the benefits that the future of decentralized finance brings.
Let's keep the idea that if we don't sell we don't lose. If we believe in decentralization we must maintain our goals towards the future of bitcoin. Bitcoin remains strong in the market with 42.3% dominance.
500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can not crash on: May 21, 2021, 07:28:22 PM
I am in solidarity with OP, right now something similar to him happens to me. I am encouraging my family to invest in cryptocurrencies for a few weeks now and with Elon Musk's FUD. I think I'm going to give up on the idea because it is complex to tell you about the roller coaster that is bitcoin volatility and its effects on the cryptocurrency market.
Now I understand why it is difficult for us to reach mass adoption, because it depends on us and break the tentacles of centralization.
