Counterfeit currency in the form of $1 bills?That's weird. Usually the criminals print fake paper money with a way bigger value. I expect that the Chinese secret services or the Hong Kong Mafia have something to do with this. Hiding such big amount of paper in a rail container that's about to be inspected by the US customs,seems very amateurish move from a spy or a gangster. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

If crypto exchanges include such "anti-mixer" rule in their Terms of service,we have no choice but to follow this rule.With all the regulations and KYC,the crypto exchanges don't want "dirty money" in their wallets,so it's normal for them to ban transactions coming from BTC mixing services,because someone,who uses a mixer service clearly has something to hide.There's no other reason to use a Bitcoin mixer.

The claim that a large number of institutional investors are interested into buying Bitcoin futures was just hype and propaganda.The Bakkt hype is over and I couldn't care less about this project. Bitcoin core is strong, with or without Bakkt.We should never rely on the mercy of a bunch of institutional investors to pump/dump the price.We already have crypto whales,which is the sad truth. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Only mass adoption will liberate the bitcoin price from manipulations.

I don't advise other people to buy anything(including cryptocurrencies). If some people really think that bitcoin is "expensive",why don't they just buy 0.001 BTC. There is a learning curve in crypto trading,and every trader should lose some money in order to gain knowledge and experience about the crypto markets.It's like every business,you have to lose some money,before you start making money.

Damn,McAfee is actually active on Twitter,replying to comments under his tweet.This guy has a lot of free time to waste on social media.I think he's a keyboard warrior now. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) He might be creating his own shitty "McAffeecoin".That's why he is hating on BTC. Be ready for his next prediction:"My own altcoin will hit 1M USD or I will eat my dick!" ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If I understand this correctly,the City stores cannot REFUSE to accept cash,according to the Council's decision.They can still accept credit/debit cards and mobile app payments.They just don't have to right to deny cash payments.I think this is a good decision.A 100% cashless society means less freedom of choice. I'm not a fiat supporter but the people have to choose what payment method to use.Their choice shouldn't be limited.

You need to have clear Terms of Service stating that you are not responsible,if the client sends you wrong BTC address.What if this client already received the BTC in his wallet and now he is trying to scam you by forcing you to send the same amount of BTC to his wallet again. By the way,may I ask what is your business?What product or service are you providing?

Banks and corporations want to implement blockchain technology as long as this blockchain technology remains their own property. No corporation or bank has any interest into creating something open-source,being transparent and available for free.It's all about control.Adopting real blockchain technology means that the corporation has to let go of the control(in one form or another). This corporate mindset will never change.There's nothing we can do about it.

Even though this is not a real banknote I'm not interested into collecting such papers. If it's paper money,it can be faked. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I prefer to keep my bitcoins in my online wallet. I hope that no people will be scammed into thinking that this banknote is an actual bitcoin and has real monetary value.Some scammers might be looking for victims on social media and local classified ads sites and selling them such papers for $$$.

Since China is ready to introduce its digital currency in 2020, Facebook had created its own and traditional cryptocurrencies have also been part of this revolutionary process You are wrong about Facebook.The Libra project is dead,AFAIK. Anyway,nobody cares about the Davos Economic forum.Nothing important happens there,no decisions with global impact were made,only fake commitments towards solving the most important problems-inequality,climate change and global warming,poverty,etc.Nothing.Just a bunch of rich and powerful people meeting for a small chit chat. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

If we were to go to a 100% bitcoin currency system. The banks and governments would loose control of whole financial system. The present governments would loose control.
Therefore a new system would be needed to run each country. What do you think would be the new body of control? How could this work? What type of system would be put in place on this.? I don't think the people can control themselves as too many minds and ideas of where things can go in a direction. Therefore you still need a council or kingdom of control.
your thoughts.
This won't happen in the real world,but if we think about such hypothetical scenario,the governments can still control bitcoin,if they start buying and holding large amounts of BTC and if they start mining BTC. Acting as a crypto whale and a BTC miner at the same time will be the ultimate form of government control. The downside of this is that governments will create more bureaucracy and corruption,by taking power and resources from the people and governing them for the "benefit of the public".

Bug energy consumption is not the problem.Producing electricity using resources that damage the environment,like coal is the problem here.Nobody would care about energy "inefficiency" or huge energy consumption,if the electricity was produced with green technologies,by using solar and wind. PoW will always dominate the crypto world,so this discussion is kinda pointless.

In 2017,many people were expecting a bitcoin price above 100K USD in 2018 and around 1M USD at 2019 or 2020. They were justifying their predictions with technical and fundamental analysis.Did it happen?Nope. Nowadays,I read such bullish articles for a good laugh and I just move on.It's sad if some people actually believe this BS.The author of the analysis should get a real job and stop wasting his time.

That "legal to illegal" bridge is exactly what's stops Bitcoin.Musk is right about that. Different countries,with different legislation regarding cryptocurrency,some countries don't even have such legislation.Millions of people worldwide know something about bitcoin,but they are too afraid to buy and use BTC,because it might become illegal.Other than that,I didn't see any valuable information from the interview with Elon Musk.

We have seen a lot of things we can use bitcoin for.like paying of bills, trading I learnt some organizations accept bitcoin not in countries like China.. etc please do they accept Bitcoin at you country traveling embassy?
Of course not.Why would embassies around the world accept bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency?Many countries in the world consider cryptocurrencies to be a digital or financial asset,not an actual currency,hence they won't send or receive payments in crypto coins. OP,that's a weird question.Do you plan to travel somewhere and exchange your bitcoins in some embassy? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If you’re curious it’s the day many people gathering to convince you
You need to pay taxes You need to use bank You need to get married You need to invest You need to get a job
AMA anything.
Brb I’m getting out of this fake fakestival It’s the day you’re expect by many to spend a lot of money just to please your parent your gf and your kids.
Your wife have high expectation, your gf have high expectation, your kids have high expectation, and they will compare you on every corner.
That's not just the Asian new year,it's the same everywhere in the world.You have to graduate university,get a job,get a girlfriend,get a mortgage,pay taxes,have kids,buy them expensive toys.You are an adult,freedom is just an idea.Nobody has real freedom nowadays,you have to be a paid slave and serve someone-wife,kids,boss,the government...We live in a society...If you don't abide by the rules,just leave your girlfriend,never have kids,don't pay taxes and keep the money you earn.

The corona virus has been attacked in many countries. Many People have died and many more people have been attacked this virus. so do you think situation with corona virus will impact the price of Bitcoin.
This is a really stupid question. Do you think that people will panic because of the corona virus and start buying bitcoins,because this will keep them safe?Keep in mind that China isn't a crypto-friendly country.I mean WTF,really? Around 50 people have died so far,in country with a population over 1.3 billion.Can this be considered "many people"? There's nothing to worry about.

Actually I'm not in the image; privacy reasons
Shouldn't you blur their faces for the same reason?
Anyway, looks like you're talking to people on their early 20s or teenager (if my sight doesn't lie). Are they showing a good interest in blockchain or crypto in general and want to pursue a career in those fields? I doubt that somebody is going to sue OP for revealing his face. Good job OP.Every effort towards bitcoin promotion help us build a bigger and better Bitcoin community. By the way,have you told them about all the Bitcoin Cash,BSV,forks,Roger Ver and Craig Wright?They should be aware of the fake "bitcoins" like BCH and BSV and the enemies of Bitcoin Core.

I was in the bitcoin scene awhile ago but i'm looking to get back into it You were "in the bitcoin scene" in the past and you are asking newbie questions now?This is weird. If you have traded bitcoins in the past,you should already know the basics.Bitcoin trading haven't changed at all. Just don't panic and HODL,if the price drops suddenly.This is rule number one.Everything else will be fine. What do you mean by "bitcoin trading"?Trading BTC for altcoins on some crypto exchange,or selling bitcoin for fiat on websites like Localbitcoins and Paxful?Those two are completely different niches of bitcoin trading.

Your link leads to an article with a popup that wants me to signup for Shrimpy free trial. Everyone knows the list of most popular coins for investors.Just look at Coinmarketcap. You don't have to waste time making an "investigation" about this topic.Everything in your forum thread and your article suggests that this is just promotion of Shrimpy.io.I'm OK with promotional content and native advertising,but is it so hard to put a disclaimer about it?
