Have you based your position just because Bloomberg told you that it will go back up to 20,000$? If yes then that's a bad way to make decisions when it comes to trading in general. Even if they are renowned for their financial information it doesn't mean that their analysis on something will come true. With my first post about this topic I expressed my opinion that their prediction was lacking analysis as if a crypto news website is creating the article, that alone made me say that they aren't even sure that Bitcoin will indeed go back up to 20,000$.

I mean would you use a "transaction visualizer" to confirm your transactions if they are part of that block? There are more reliable ways to do that and that's by using Blockchain explorer websites like blockcypher. They clearly stated it on their "about section" that they don't really accurately determine which transaction is part of that block but rather prioritize high paying users in the bus line. I think to avoid any kind of confusion for their visualizer is to either sync their system to any block explorer or just put a page notice that this isn't used for determining which block you are in but simply just demonstrate to everyone how blockchain works.

Even if satoshi only compared Bitcoin to gold/gold mining as response to a question of person he did compared it as a answer. Obviously in the whitepaper we won't see any kind of comparison from Bitcoin to gold as Bitcoim was originally made as a payment solution removing the need of a middleman. But it was inevitable for Bitcoin to be compared to gold as there is “mining” involve in both assets, see my first post above to see how satoshi directly compared gold mining to Bitcoin mining and how they are the same.

Messi officially said that he intended to be a free agent this season even though he still has a contract with Barcelona and the problem is Barcelona didn't want that to happen, that alone where a team denies a player to some kind of freedom will just loosen their relationship even more which makes me think that his relationship or playing career with Barca will just be limited to the remaining duration of his contract. Him playing for another big name club is still a possibility it might not be as competitive as Barcelona but this team might still be relevant in terms of its fan base.

Yeah asking for an email after answering all this kind of personal questions will increase their chances of being hacked due to what they have, your questions are basically trying to pinpoint the user if he can be a candidate of a hack or not. For someone trying to aim for the improvement of the security of the user you are doing a bad job for it. If you are true to what you are aiming at I suggest that you start giving the full rundown of what they got wrong without the user giving their email, if you understand this then you aren't really doing anything bad for them.

From what I see in the article Zug is considered to be a "cryptovalley" of their country since a considerable amount of Crypto-based companies are situated their so maybe that's the reason why they started accepting crypto as a payment for their taxes as obviously their state is much more involved in the crypto industry and they are just adjusting to what they have. For them converting it to Fiat I don't see anything wrong here as it is payment for tax in the first place, I as a citizen in that situation where I will pay tax with my crypto will see that it will be more wrong if they somehow hodl my payment and maybe profit from it more.

Best way to prove who's social media accounts are this really is, for you to post/post a screenshot of Bitcointalk that you are logged in right now. You can claim these social media accounts properly as you were able to show that your Bitcointalk profile with your name in it is uploaded as a pic on your Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin. This will convince anyone that you own it, these also goes for the person being accused here, you need to show proof that you are controlling those social media account by doing what I have said.

It's really up to you, the way I see it is if you are mostly posting in the Politics and Society section of the forum and you are not getting any kind of credit with the research you have done and opinion I think demanding for a merit source for that section is the best way for that section to have some smerits flowing. IMO since you are a Bitcoin forum after all there is nothing wrong in being involved in other sections where you think merits are actively being given because chances are there might be some topics in there where your expertise can be squeeze in.

Here we go again with Polo7 creating worthless topics in the Economics section telling lies about fiat currency being dominant or some shit. Last topic I replied to you was about you telling that Australia will be printing more money for their stimulus packages which isn't really found in any part of that document. Now this topic where you didn't provide any kind of facts or even sources is simply not convincing to anyone, they just see you trolling them just for your own fun.

Yeah that's why there are a lot of people especially critics using that against as believing that Bitcoin is practically useless as compared to their fiat counterparts because of it's acceptance. There are right on that one but I don't agree them about Bitcoin having no real world use, for one they always avoid to mention about crypto is still growing and yeah there is still no mass adoption going on. In order for them to say these kinds of statement for a still growing industry is a irrelevant argument for me.

Stable prices won't be happening in our market they aren't regulated in a way how stock markets work like the SEC or Brokers have a power to stop trading as well as do trading halts on particular stocks, in the crypto market there is no such thing one crypto can jump more than 100% and still continue from that point without any kind of interference from the authorities. Other than that prices would be unstable as long as we have whales and other influences waiting to move the price on their own will. Regarding "good projects" I don't think this will push some kind of mass adoption IMO as the crypto industry's progress will always depend on who's popular which is Bitcoin as well as how companies will try to utilize these crypto in their businesses.

A saturated market will only mean that it isn't producing anymore demand thus if someone or something new entered it won't maximize it's full potential which I don't think the crypto market counts as one. Why? Because the crypto market is still growing and is still being recognized by a lot of people, the mass adoption we are looking for has not happened yet. Aside from that we also need to consider the investor's point of view and that is  they aren't limited to one crypto, they can bur y how mamy they want depe ding on what they feel the right investment is.

It's all technical in my opinion, if we look at the current market conditions right now you will see that even though Bitcoin is going up for the past couple of weeks you will see that the volume isn't really supporting the price action for a bullish run for Bitcoin thus the price of Bitcoin will inevitably drop because of it. Empire Market even if they did an exit scam a few days back wouldn't have resulted this kind of price drop this is merely just a coincidence IMO.

With what bbc.reporter have said I think it is important for some members here to realize that not all news we are seeing in crypto news media outlets actually has any meaning into it. Yeah what they said about Bitcoin being the “6th largest currency” is true due to it's supply and price but what does it actually mean to us users and hodlers? Does this prove anything about Bitcoin being more adopted or that people are actually using it more? Of course not price jumps happen and with the huge price we have compared to other fiat currencies it is just obvious that we will be 1 of the top 10 in the list.

I think you are right on this one that they are prioritizing or "assuming" that these people/transactions are part of the block since they have paid a higher fee which I think is reasonable.

This is what they said on the About section.

Everytime the bus is moving you will immediately see the animation of people having faster walking speeds compared to the others and they usually skip some people that are lined up which just indicate that they have paid a higher fee. Of course these transactions might not be really included in the block but I think what they just want to visualize is how the transactions work in this kind of representation.

Well we have this post from the satoshi he made in the forum about Bitcoin mining being in the same sense as mining gold which you are correct but I haven't seen any kind of statements regarding Bitcoin being the same as gold in monetary sense. Since if you look at his statement you will see that satoshi himself doesn't see any much utility for gold in a form of medium of exchange which unlike Bitcoin being a digital currency and all has far more acceptance in various businesses, so I really doubt that Satoshi made a comparison way back then comparing Bitcoin to gold in a monetary kind of way.

This has been out for a few days now and I think no one notice yet. Sandro Tonali one of the Italian wonderkids being recruited by a lot of teams have chosen AC Milan as his next team to play with. From what I know teams like Barcelona, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, and even Inter all have contacted him but when AC Milan went in the picture he didn't think twice on choosing his childhood team.

Since you are basically looking for investors in your project I believe that your OP isn't enough for them to be attracted on your project. You basically need a sales pitch on what you are trying to do in order for you to have a good chance of attracting some members here. With your post right now you'll just be attracting unreputable people who are just newbies or jr. members of the forum who will be trying to contact you basically which I don't think they are really trying to invest in your project but to leech from you.

They not "changing" anything they are just applying it all on cryptocurrencies. Maybe last 3 or 4 years ago we have seen the crypto industry not have some kind of requirements from the exchanges and a lot of exchanges don't require KYC but now you will barely see that as the government is moderately applying all of their requirements to the crypto industry. From KYCs, Tax reports, and other documentation all of these are being required by stock brokers, forex, and banks so I don't think we can say that it is "changing" when everything is just being applied to us.

It will depend on the person who left that feedback with since the trust system is unmoderated even red tags can't be remove by mods. Try to resolve the issue with the user and see if he change his mind but usually tags like this where you pissed a user off is something that they won't remove since they'll be even more happy that you are noticing their untrusted feedback towards you.
