English food sucks as well except breakfast.
There is no such thing as English cuisine. There is food what you buy in England.

Could anyone estimate how many people from total world population may adopt bitcoins in next 10 to 25 years. Also, we need to consider how much they may invest based on their affordable limits. When these are beyond our calculations, I guess we cannot speculate where bitcoins may settle on its maturity.
There's always talk of investing in Bitcoin but hardly any talk ever about earning it. That has the potential to draw in vastly more money than the savings of a bunch of randoms. There are tens or hundreds of millions of people out there who could be working and creating on behalf of people halfway around the planet who currently don't have a straightforward way of being recompensed let alone saving or storing it securely. If a significant flow of work was heading to developing countries that would spark economic activity all the way up and down the ladder. It doesn't have to be just parking your dollars in BTC and letting them sit there until it's time to remove them again.

I'd be curious if anyone was able to locate the transaction hash for this transfer.
As far as I can tell no Bitcoin address relating to any of this has been made publicly known by anyone actually involved. I know Jesse Powell of Kraken said he knew which addresses he'd dealt with were linked to them but I haven't seen any actually laid out yet. Coindesk are saying ETH moved just before their final death fart - https://www.coindesk.com/funds-were-moving-from-quadrigacx-right-before-its-collapseIs there anything beyond Reddit conjecture when it comes to the BTC and LTC?

This somehow makes you question the whole validity of your point. In other words, if someone sells a couple (thousand) bitcoins now and the price plummets below 3k, it will most likely remain there. Would it count as an organic drop? But if he didn't sell, the price would remain where it is now. Would that count as an artificial drop?
I would not call drops or rises organic. Both can be triggered by one entity. I would call their lingering result organic because it's where everyone else agrees the price should be. Dumps that are rapidly bought up or rises that are rapidly dumped into until they're squashed signal that the majority doesn't agree with that attempt to change the price. If the one particular person who initiates a dump to 3k doesn't do it, someone else would've been along at some point to fulfill that destiny.

If he has the time to FUD about cryptos and favors one thing over another then I think he can find a legitimate cause to come here and engage with people. Let's not forget he has had enough time to tweet about btc/crypto thousands of times already. So let's not throw any snowballs at the man's ego just yet.
So a geezer running multi multi million and billion dollar companies is obligated to come here and respond to your questions? Full marks for ambition and expectation. Nul points for realism. He favours one crypto over whatever you're surreptitiously attempting to shill because it's the best and most obvious choice.

Very few people are interested in purchasing art. Haven't you heard of the term "starving artist"
People have no problem paying for mechanics or doctors but they don't hold art and handmade crafts to the same value.
The problem is your products, sorry.
So everyone on Etsy is doing zero business? Don't be daffy. The problem is that the approach is arse backwards. You don't go to crypto fans and ask them to like your product. They like crypto. The chances they'll like your obscure product are effectively nil. You go to the places where your product is going to be liked and then crypto is tacked on at the end.

I think he has slightly better things to do with his time than dick around on here.
As for the first question, why would you bother with another coin? Bitcoin is the oldest, best secured, most tested, most distributed and most trusted.
I would not bother building a service around anything other than the strongest possible contender.

As an active service dealing with volatile and intangible product, our brand often receives a "scam" label (which is aggravated by the fact we don't share private keys with individual addresses). Scam implies fraudulent and dishonest behavior aiming to get a short-term gain, doesn't it? Let's match this with real facts. As you can see from the discussion links posted above, we always provide all the necessary assistance to our users and resolve the majority of the requests.
Most of the complaints I've seen have been resolved. However there should be no need to resolve a problem in the first place. No one should be using your service. It makes no sense. What are the advantages to customers of the way you operate?

Very few people own crypto. Even fewer want to spend it. Even fewer will want to spend it on what you have for sale.
I don't think there's any point in advertising on a crypto specific platform. It would be better to advertise on a handicraft specific website and then mention crypto as the payment option. It might turn off some customers but at least there'll be customers to turn off.

I quote this reply because about this I can think that pay in Bitcoin is not worth. Why I should pay in Bitcoin if price is so volatility?
Bitcoin is or will be worth payment for common people ?
For people who've been around for a long time the Bitcoin they have is going to largely be free money. If you bought in 2015 you're 15-20x up. Who wouldn't want to spend some free money? It's possible you might have earned money in BTC too. For regular people who don't have any using BTC for shopping makes no sense. You lose money on fees buying it, you might lose waiting for it to confirm in your wallet. No one buys something to buy something. This is why widespread use for shopping will be one of the last things to arrive. People need to be in BTC for other reasons first. There's no incentive to enter this area for that reason.

That then includes you too and 99% of Legendary members on this forum, but I do not think that admin will do something like this. Maybe before the start of merit system something similar could have been done, but all old members play by the rules and really would be unfair that now they lose their ranks.
I'm fine with that. If I'd been putting the merit system together I would've given people a grace period to justify their ranks and then removed them if they're clearly wasters which is what merit does. In the old set up you could have reached legendary with 2-3 years of bumping every thread with 'nice project' or 'dear, this is most excellentings advises.' That is to say, 43,24% of Legendries have not earned any merit to date, and an additional 10,32% have currently only earned one. Only 27,14% have earned 50 or above merits. 90,30% of Legendries have been active (at least logged-in, but we do not know how active they have been) from 2018 onwards, so the above data is representative.
That's a pretty bonkers set of stats. Out of 2 million or whatever users there are less than 100 self made senior members, let alone legendaries.

I think they're doing their best to manipulate the market with all those fucking announcements.
I'll bet there are thousands upon thousands of other delayed financial products and platforms right now that go completely unmentioned. It's only the desperation of us saps that fuels the desperation surrounding it. This is how the real world operates. Overestimates are given. Problems emerge. People slack. Things fall through. Crypto fans are childlike. They want everything NOOOOW and if they don't get it they'll hold their breath until they pass out.

It would be great if some members could lose their legendary status. It is like some people who hold noble titles, without there being royalty in the country. It simply does not make sense.
Everyone should unless they've earned the merit to be legendary which is a tiny, tiny group of people. If you're a legend with a handful of merit then you've either been absent since it was instigated or you're a worthless member of this forum. It's an insult to the lowlier members who are much more valuable contributors.

So, price of a products that I want buy or sell depends at the time (seconds, minutes, Hours)?
Most people buying with BTC will be using a payment processor like Bitpay. They will set the rate you pay, not the market, though it will be close to the market price. They fix the exchange rate for fifteen minutes. They tell you how much BTC you're paying on the screen with the QR code. If you intend to sell Bitcoin via an exchange, withdraw to a bank and pay with your normal debit card then the price is fixed the moment you sell the BTC. Depending on where you are it might take a couple of minutes or several days to get money back from an exchange but the exchange rate is fixed the moment you sell.

Bitcoin is supposed to be free of any control but it seems like a few people have more control over it than others ... which is a huge drawback of Bitcoin in that case.
That freedom also permits people to accumulate vast amounts. You don't have to have vast amounts to have a strong influence over one strong price movement. This market is currently so weedy that the majority are looking for others to make a move to follow, and the rest will be bots that pile in to whatever is sparked. You could throw away a few thousand coins at provoking a plunge but if the price goes down and stays down then that's looking like the 'true' price to me. No one can keep a price down for more than a few hours artificially.

Legendary members always have higher reward rates than new members in signature campaigns, which is well worth the effort they spend. Because to get high rankings like legends they contributed a lot to the forum, so projects always rated them higher than new members. Please contribute positively to the forum and you will also receive rewards commensurate with that contribution
There are plenty of legendaries who've earned little to no merit. They're not going to get anywhere in terms of campaigns. The managers of decent campaigns aren't going to take on a shitposter no matter what their rank. Now it's been over a year I think it's time to remove all airdropped merit. If you've been here for all that time and are legendary with a piddling amount of merit to show for it then it's time for a demotion all the way back to the start. They serve no purpose.

I see this subject has bubbled up again on Twitter and Luke Jr is proposing an experimental soft fork with smaller blocks. https://cryptoinsider.com/on-reducing-the-bitcoin-block-size-to-300kb/Rather unfortunately it appears to have been latched on to by the usual casualties who zombified themselves with BCH and other dead ends. They're expressing lots of 'concern' about ongoing sustainability now Bitcoin turns out to have had big blocks all along. Does it have any merit as an idea or is the entire thing one guy's worry being twisted into yet another attempt to undermine BTC?

You can be a software engineer and still be gullible and shit with money. I don't see what's in it for him to make it up but it looks bizarre from all angles.
