I don't see that happening anytime soon or ever.

On the part of the citizens; adoption of Bitcoin does not benefit the economy, neither does it help with creating an enabling environment for businesses to function. They can access it without it being a legal tender and with more freedom.

With governments is basically the same thing, they do not better their economy by adopting Bitcoin and it will always remain a secondary means of processing payments.

Adoption slightly helps Bitcoin with gaining acceptance, but that has a threshold to which it can be beneficial.

Except that it actually is much of a bad idea.

Bitcoin is pseudoanonymous for a reason, while the public can access the blockchain which contains a record of every already complete transaction, they cannot fix a personality to the different transactions to know who is spending what. To further blur that trail users can utilize coinjoining and mixing options. It is counter productive to publicly discuss what you are spending on with Bitcoin.

In this instance you can't know who will and will not publish a private message, you just trust that experienced members will know better and will keep discussions private, between the parties involved in it.

This will not still count as proof enough cause the public cannot verify the content of the private message.

I agree with this. As long as you take the effort to understand the ropes, you will be able to swing around somewhat safely.

This does not apply only to Bitcoin either, failing to understand how anything works fully and jumping into investing in it will most likely end up in a loss. Invest in gaining knowledge as the first step and the next steps will be much easier to make.

Where I will differ with the op is that some people cannot readily get the right source of information despite their willingness to understand how something works.

Ideally it should be done on different devices but having them on the same device does not defeat the purpose of it. For example it can protect against a leak of your password, cause the attacker will still need your 2FA code to get into your account.
Not all breaches results in total security break on the device, so it has its perks.

Staking your address helps to recover your account after a hack, it does not protect you from one or the consequences.

Old members have no issue reading long and detailed posts of the content is educative and interesting enough. This is a forum and reading paragraphs is essential to the communication process.

If a message can be passed in 2 lines then do not add fillers to make the post more readable, it doesn't add anything more educative for the reader. But if you need multiple paragraphs to pass your message, use that.

Yet another reason to not use centralized exchange as a wallet to store funds.

They are custodian and can have vulnerabilities you cannot help against, leading to loss of funds.

We do not have access to the behind the scenes, so cannot determine how there was a breach of the website. You can only get that response directly from a representative of Stake.

Isolated cases like this are not uncommon with crypto related websites, it could be due to a hack or  you allowing someone else access to where you keep valuable information.

If you do not get a substantial answer after a few days, then you can try calling then out on other websites they are active on.

They form a huge part of the local economy, both in the country of origin and the destinations. It has one of the largest community of online shoppers and buyers offering a wide range of products with different qualities, exactly similar to any online shop which is available, except one was produced using very cheap (and possibly exploited) labour.

One or twice. Was an okay experience.

Bitcoin and ethereum operates very differently from one another. Bitcoins supply is limited and pre determined, the supply of ethereum is infinite.

Miners are not sufficient to meet the entire market demand.

If you received the $50 in 25 seperate transactions of $2 each, the fees on the transaction will be higher than someone sending $100,000 which was received in a single transaction.

The network does not recognize dollar equivalent of bitcoins, only separate transactions which form inputs. The higher the number of inputs the larger the fee.

Fee is not an accurate way to explain this. There is no universal fee paid on transactions at any time, what miners set is the feerate.
This for example can be $10/vbyte (it's normally calculated in sats/vbyte). If my transaction has a bigger size (vbytes), then I'll pay higher.

There's no theory to support that the halving was added to mimick scarcity of precious metals.
Many precious metals are not even scarce at all; they can have supply shocks at anytime with uneven distribution, and many of them can be chemically produced with the same quality of the original.

First point to note is that last events are not always indicative of future actions. There's no guarantee on what will happen during the next cycle and the one after that and ten or twenty more down the road, the only thing that's certain is the protocol.

Cycles are pretty much easy to understand and need not be complicated;

• Halving creates scarcity,
• This scarcity reduces supply against demand, increasing the price,
• The Price increase causes Fomo and even more demand,
• This continues till the price hits a ceiling and needs to undergo a correction,
• Investors panic sell to avoid losing out,
• This causes fud and the market continues to tank considerably till we hit the support,
• and repeat...

In-between these periods the price goes up and down based on so many other factors.

This seems counter productive.

The stickie feature should only be allowed on the board it was stickied in and if moved around it should lose that feature, same way self moderates threads are no longer self moded when they are moved to a board that doesn't support it.

It's a pain, but the only option is to wait. Consolidating multiple small inputs have been impossible impractical since October and looms to remain so for sometime more. It's ridiculous the amount of fees paid on regular transactions, much less one with lots of inputs.

If you're in a hurry, try using a transaction accelerator and a lower fee (above the minimum for the mempool now).

I just also moved my screw driver back into the tool box

Exactly, no one cares.

In a proper airgapped wallet you should not be scanning any QR codes not related to a transaction detail, when switching from a watch only to the wallet for signing the transaction. You should not even be sending out from the wallet cause it should be a cold wallet.

100% security exists technically, but is difficult to attain, but we should try to get as close as possible.

The platform is primarily made to discuss the different aspects of Bitcoin, as you can see from the name, but there are other sections of the forum such as discussing economic situations, politics, technological development, selling goods and services, and even a section for altcoins.

You. An discuss preety much any topic which is available.

I don't know how you reached the last assumption. LN is not practical for a single small transaction when you factor in feesbto open and close the channel, but it's very practical for use over several months.

When compared to fiat you have to check other factors which affects the price of Bitcoin transactions.

Alternate gives the impression that it's a different source of income, but it doesn't apply to your story. This is the exact same source of income just being received through a different payment channel.
