It is fine to know that what happens in the blockchain is not only about privacy and neither is it about the mixers only. I believe that the potential of blockchain is yet to be harnessed fully. There is no doubt that the government will continue to fight against privacy but then there is a limit to what they can do. For instance they keep compelling the centralized exchanges to delist privacy coins, this does not mean that they will in any way infiltrate the decentralized exchanges to also delist privacy coins.

There was when I was very much bothered about what is happening now. And as the time progresses my fears come to pass. Prepare your mind to see more regulations and shutdown of privacy enhancement systems in the cryptocurrency industry. But I am consoled by a singular phrase that says thus; necessity is the mother of invention. The more and more the government fight against decentralization and privacy, the more private and decentralized individuals will find ways to continue scaling through.

It is better to delay and understand the process than to rush and regret afterwards. The bitcoin is not difficult to understand, just read the whitepaper, read the bitcoin history and compare it to what is happening in the industry currently, from there you will have a clue of what to do and you will not regret it afterwards.

This advice has been so available for a very long time but some greedy newbies actually do neglect the advice and do their wishes which do no actually end well. Since there'll always be newbies, there'll always be these kind of advices.

Poverty might not be the only cause, also ignorance and greed have some roles in there.

I quite understand the perspective you are coming from. It's not easy from the third world countries I must confess. In search of money, every thing including privacy is sold out.

What have we done in the past to take bitcoin from below $1 to the current $60k+. If there's a specific steps we have followed, it will be fine we replicate it. But if there's no known pattern that was followed, all we need do is to continue believing and using bitcoin and $100k will come unforced.

Then, if you have the opportunity, introduce your friends and loved ones to bitcoin because its future is bright.

Why do you want to jump into bitcoin when you have already concluded that bitcoin is so bad, that it should be banned.

CHELSEA FC is officially ahead of MANCHESTER UNITED in the table

I was surprised that Chelsea is currently ahead of Manchester United in the English premier League table this same season. This gets to show how bad Manchester United and Erik Ten Hang has been this season. It seems I have lost confidence in Manchester United coach, he makes alot of substitution errors and also he isn't good in managing players. When he started with Ronaldo, we didn't know he would extend to other players. He lost Ronaldo, Elanga, Sancho and Greenwood and these guys are doing great in their respective clubs.
I personally will not be happy if Chelsea finishes above Manchester United this season and Guardiola and his boys go home with the title for the 4th consecutive times.

info 1: Bitcoin is still in a beta phase
info 2 Do not invest what you are unable to lose.
Both information seems outdated but yet they are still valid. No matter how long bitcoin has stayed or survived, if it's still in beta version, we should acknowledge that and not say things off record. Unless there's a consensus to do otherwise, it is what it is and may remain like that as along as bitcoin exists.
Information 2 is valid for all kinds of investment, especially for volatile kinds of investments.

No one needs to convince you that halving has come and gone. Maybe you need to make a lil research to know what is bitcoin halving. If you really understand the concept, you don't need anyone to convince you when if it has happened or not.

This is pretty much how it happens every season. Infact, if bitcoin is difficult for some people to understand, it is fine they study history. Bitcoin history can show that not many new things happen each season. It is just repetitions.

Many people has the mentality of getting rich overnight. That is why Investing little and using DCA will not be an option for them.

You are simply contradicting yourself here. Remember you said that they are hoping that one day they will make enough capital to invest. Reading down, you said we should not say they should get a job. So, how will they be able to make enough capital without getting a job?

Now you have said the advice you want to give them. Someone who haven't earned $10k for himself. How will he be able to manage another person's $10k if given them freely.

There is a saying that it is better that one prepares and wait for opportunity, than for an opportunity to come and meet one unprepared. In this context, preparing and waiting for opportunity is learning how to trade and wait for trading funds. This should be more profitable than not knowing how to trade and eventually have funds in your custody. There's no doubt that you will misuse the fund.

In a nutshell, knowing how to trade and having trading funds augments each other for there to be success. But it is encouraged to have the knowledge first before sourcing for the funds.

I said something of this nature in 2022, that in the future bitcoin will be used in a more centralized way than in a decentralized way. This is because the government is fighting decentralization and privacy and in the other hand, individuals do not want to take the stress and inconveniences of learning to be private.

In my country, the government is busy delisting naira pair in all exchanges. Making it difficult for people to interact between cryptocurrency and their local currency.

Mia Chloe said it's not very frequent as if successful ones have happened in the past. If it's possible but not frequent, the whole network would have been down. Then incentive system has a way of solving it, if you have such a power to execute attack, you rather use it to earn more BTC to yourself.

Many people haven't even seen or read the 12 paragraphs whitepaper but they talk about bitcoin principles. Satoshi stated everything, from introduction, transaction, incentives, calculations, reclaiming disk space to conclusions. Understanding of the white paper is all that is needed to know the principles of bitcoin.

You are ability to learn and understand will it give you the motivation to continue learning. When you are trying to learn but actually not understanding anything it will surely demotivate you and the hunger to further learning will quench. This is why it is so advisable for newcomers to focus only on learning and then fall in love with learning. When they are addicted to learning it will keep them going in the cryptocurrency industry because there are a lot of new things to learn everyday. But when there is no passion for learning, they will easily quit and abandon the forum. Another motivation is knowing that you can just put only one year of effort and start earning small bucks from the forum. Unlike universities that you will put 5 to 6 years efforts and will earn nothing. This is why I am not so much happy with newbies that come and quit with the reason that the forum is difficult to understand.

What actually is the bigger picture?
Maybe seeing bitcoin value $100k or $200k and you remember you own some fractions.

When you read older threads, you will have clearer understanding how the future works and what our duty is presently. The early bitcoin adopters had believed that by now bitcoin believers should be using bitcoin to buys things from the grocery shops. This is because of the promise of;

• Fast transaction
• Low transaction

But now, we are faced by reality that altcoins are doing the above two more than bitcoin.
I therefore, speculate the future of bitcoin only as A store of value , i.e the digital gold as it is being referred to, more than as a currency.

There lies the problem. It was just in the early days that bitcoin was used the way it ought to be used, as bitcoin adoption enlarges, different unbitcoin ways of using Bitcoin will surface. And these recent ways seem more friendly because they employ the social media and sweet UX trend.

• It is not many bitcoin users want to know about bitcoin beyond just buying and selling.
• Someone who cannot sign contracts and use open non custodial wallets have no business with DEX.
• Many newbies are introduced to exchanges as the first place to create accounts
• During mempool congestion, exchanges become our friends, so we can't do without them.

This is why we still marry with the government and his privies. It's a long journey.

In as much as we advocate that newbies should enjoy their status, also try to rank up. There's another level of enjoyment you will witness immediately you become an established member of this forum. By then your opinion will be held high especially if you are also reputable.

Exactly what I meant above. Anywhere you find yourself, you should endeavour to grow. Growth is another level of enjoyment. Especially when you look back and remember where you started.

This reminds me of one topic that I learned during my engineering days in the high school. It is called indigenous technology. The concept of indigenous technology is the ability to solve problems with the technology that is known to people of that environment. The problem could be universal but every culture or nationality has their own way of serving that particular problem. The method that is being applied by your grandmother and mother could be peculiar to people in that environment as at that time. When you go to another country that could be another means they serve money and gold then. But later on the universal method of using the bank that is being controlled by the government became invoke whereby everybody willingly and forcefully has to trust the government to save their fund and other valuables. Presently wise people are looking for a way to avoid the bank and the highly centralized government and become their own banks by adopting a decentralized means of owning and managing money which is Bitcoin. So, instead of looking back to ages to adopt the methods they were using then, it could be better to look at the future to adopt the method that will be invoked in the nearest future.

It is pathetic that one of the core factors in which bitcoin was marketed to the lay man has been lost. In the early days of Bitcoin, making transaction with a very low transaction fee has been the attribute of Bitcoin. This is why people opted to use bitcoin for international trades and transaction. But with the current mess in the Bitcoin network, it is obvious that bitcoin can no longer be used to purchase a cup of coffee. An individual cannot afford to pay very high fee to buy a product and even the product owner cannot afford to augment the transaction fee. It is clear that many people have started shifting to altcoins payment. The most popular altcoin they are trooping to is litecoin. Even in the other forum, campaigns are gradually moving away from bitcoin payments. I wonder what the future has for bitcoin.

When I read the title, I thought you were going to ask someone different from what you have asked. For your question, it is obvious that campaign managers don't count off topic posts. But, I have heard some users complain to me how some managers deny them payment maybe because one out of their 25 posts for the week was moved to off topic. You know the campaigns that doesn't pay per post, they only pay when you meet a certain post requirement. My only advice to them is they should make posts above the requirements incase of off topics and deletion. But I don't think it's so nice that someone is denied payment just because of 1 off topic post.
