They would argue that they have gold and other underlying assets to back it up. Basically the same thing Tether or others did, so yeah it is a bit hypocritical although there is a difference between who did it. Personally, I don't trust both of them but it is impossible to stick to crypto only as of now since the adoption rate around my area is not that high.

That's fine, but you probably need to make it clear that you focus on your area instead of international/national shipping. I don't think creating NFT is going to help with your project in one way or another. The community has a mixed feelings about it and I don't think it is a good way to tie your project with Bitcoin at all. If you want to monetize it further, you can offer other things such as merch or use payment system that don't cost a lot like what have been mentioned above. In short, there are other ways to interact more with the ecosystem other than printing NFT that has no value.

Is there an ELI5 on how they will monitor transactions? What's the difference between what they do right now (asking exchange for customers' info, etc)? Does this framework just introduce an interconnected reporting approach for each country?

A bit surprised to see my country not on this list, considering some neighbors are also there. I think it is just a matter of time though, but I doubt it will be that impactful since most exchange already taxes transactions on behalf of the government here. I guess the goal is to track transactions made on overseas platform if they do participate here. CMIIW.

I second the opinion that my feeling for this is kinda mixed. I don't think this is a good way for Bitcoin to become mainstream, considering how any centralized party can basically control your coins in one way or the other. People who want to use crypto should also realize and learn how to be independent.

On the other hand, I guess it is inevitable that the majority of people will view Bitcoin or crypto as an asset and have no problem with third-party custody like what they've with stocks or shares. Fortunately, there is no law that forces people to use banks if they want to use Bitcoin. If that happens things will be so terrible for almost everyone.

Kalau agan punya posisi DT memang cenderung lebih mudah untuk mendapatkan transaksi yang sebelumnya sulit kalau agan adalah newbie atau ga punya track record di forum, minjam tanpa ada jaminan misalnya. Tapi kalau agan berhadapan dengan member DT atau yang trustnya banyak sekalipun juga tidak ada salahnya tetap berhati-hati kalau bertransaksi dengan mereka. Ada banyak contoh kok yang tidak bayar atau bayarnya telat banget dalam hal lending misalnya, atau malah ujungnya scam.

Agak aneh kalau agan mendasarkan semuanya pada kepercayaan. Harusnya mau percaya atau tidak ya harus diverifikasi. Kalaupun ujungnya semuanya ga adil atau jujur, asalkan verifikasinya publik ane rasa masih bisa dianggap cukup oke. Daripada semuanya closed doors layaknya perhitungan hasil di negara-negara lain.

Mau agan skeptis atau tidak, mau acuh atau tidak, udah jadi kepentingan agan sendiri untuk memastikan proses kaya gini minim kecurangan. Kalau hanya bisa bilang "tuh kan ga jujur" dan ujungnya yang kepilih bikin kebijakan yang merugikan agan kan ya agan sendiri yang apes, kecuali agan termasuk kelas atas yang bisa beli hukum kapan aja.

Agan mengambil entry di harga berapa memangnya? Agan harus ingat kalau ada banyak juga yang menyesal tidak menjual sebagian koin mereka karena setelah itu tidak dapet momennya lagi buat menjualnya (kecuali mau sabar 4-5 tahun dan itupun ga menjamin bakal membuat ATH baru). Intinya balik lagi ke risk profile dan target agan. Jangan terlalu berharap muluk bakal bikin agan kaya raya dan harga koinnya jadi 100x, ga ada salahnya take profit kalau profitnya sudah cukup banyak untuk kondisi agan saat itu.

Pengalaman kaya gimana yang agan cari? Setting undervoltnya atau masalah pengalaman/penghematan listriknya?

Ane sendiri undervolt baik GPU dan CPU yang ane punya. Dulu ane punya 1660TI ane undervolt untuk menghemat listrik tanpa kehilangan banyak performa. Ane ga nyatat sih tapi seingat ane bisa menghemat sekitar 40 watt saat full load kebutuhan ane (gaming) di frekuensi 1690MHz. Sementara di GPU ane sekarang 3060TI tidak ane undervolt karena GPUnya sendiri cukup hemat. Mungkin bisa lebih hemat lagi kalau ane turunin voltasenya, tapi targetnya lebih ke suhu daripada penghematan biaya listrik. Software yang ane pake MSI Afterburner gan. Seingat ane bisa memangkas biaya cukup banyak kalau ane tiap hari make PC, sekitar 30 ribuan atau lebih. Lupa dah.

Untuk CPU ane sendiri yang sekarang, 3600X, ane ga pake undervolt yang terlalu serius dan hanya pake profil hemat biaya saja di Windows. Dulu pernah sih ane paksain dibawah 1.1 volt dengan target frekuensi 4.0 Ghz, cuma hasilnya ga stabil. Balik lagi sih gan beda chip bisa beda hasil dan settingan. Asal tidak lupa stress test saja buat ngecek biar stabilitasnya ga bermasalah. CMIIW.

Ada banyak faktor kenapa proyek bisa bertahan, ada banyak juga alasan proyek berhenti termasuk niat dari pendiri proyek yang sejak awal memang cuma cari duit saja. Btw dukungan di sini juga bisa disangsikan sih. Kalau sekedar marketing saja ane rasa itu bukan termasuk dukungan, wong bisa dibayar juga orang yang ngasih support. Kalau sudah masuk ke ranah infrastruktur, koding, dst baru ane rasa proyek itu bisa dikatakan serius. Rata-rata kalau di Indonesia sepertinya token" exchange yang kaya gini.

Untuk wallet yang di post OP ane rasa bakal lebih banyak yang mendukung kalau tidak membawa embel-embel token. Malah bisa bikin image buruk mengingat track record proyek seperti ini banyak yang jadi scam atau ga ada perkembangan. Kalaupun itu dijadikan monetisasi, sepertinya opsi lain harus lebih dieksplore karena proyek populer internasional juga ada yang tidak membutuhkan token untuk bertahan hidup kayak Coingecko misanlya. Balik lagi masalah kualitas produk sih ujungnya.

I have the opposite problem. It is not as drastic as others but sometimes I have a habit of buying things that do make me happy for a while and then regret it sooner or later. Especially things related to online entertainment such as games or subscriptions. I tend to get bored quite easily so it is hard to get the best bang for my buck. Fortunately, I do save quite a bit, and I never went as far as liquidating my savings just for that.

I think they apply that limit to filter out bots and spammers. Not to mention it will also save them a lot of money from making multiple small transactions. I don't think they will change it based on the minimum wage of each region, so your best bet is just to use other exchanges if that is a problem for you. While their app runs well, it should not be your priority if liquidity is your main issue.

How would you manage a dispute then? If a scammer provides a fake order, or if a buyer claims that they've sent the money while using a chargeback, wouldn't this mean the transaction is likely going to fail? Or does this mean you ask people to send the money first before processing any transaction? What's the guarantee that you send the money then?

I'm not sure if partnering with Visa means they partnered with PayPal though. This partnership term they use is also a bit misleading if, at the end of the day, they just registered their service so that they can use the Visa network to process transactions like any other debit card. CMIIW.

The comments regarding their service also don't instill much confidence. Looks like a new user better wait before they start registering new accounts.

It will also depend on the scale of the war. Unless it is catastrophic, I believe any price movement would be localized in the local market. And if there is infrastructure failure, it could also affect Bitcoin unless most users don't rely on the internet to make transactions. Not to mention liquidating their existing coins will become difficult too. I wouldn't be surprised if some people decide to trade their coins below the market price to get daily necessities.

Unfortunately, the media will always paint Bitcoin or crypto as this terrorist financial source that if removed will kill the group completely. This might also affect Bitcoin or crypto prices if the propaganda is really strong, although that doesn't seem to be the case right now as far as I can see.

I never see myself needing this feature. It might help newbies avoid scams, but they can easily do it by confirming or double-checking the website of said coins/tokens. It might also help people who are too lazy to type the right name (e.g. Bitcoin), but that's that. Compared to the cost and probably controversy around them, I'd say it is not needed. Google is just one tab away anyway.

Is your products just a placeholder? The price and pictures are similar, and I don't understand what's the difference between each of them other than the names. Maybe the coffee is different, but it is hard to tell if you don't put it up front unless I'm not part of your market. As of now, it just looks like you use popular influencer names to create your products.

I second the opinion that targeting the global market is quite a stretch for your product. Even if the local coffee market don't accept crypto, I don't think they will go out of their way to use your service just because you accept BTC, especially if the shipping cost, taxes, et comes into question.

There is no documentation at all? I can do some guesswork but it would be better if the owner gave some documentation to avoid misinterpretation. I guess we can give suggestions if the owner has a thread here (or Twitter, if anyone still uses it). Personally, I wouldn't recommend this to newbies.

The latter part usually doesn't apply if you don't use a multi-currency wallet or an exchange. If you use one, I'd argue that you should move your coins asap if security is your concern. There have been multiple reports related to multi-currency wallet which shows they are insecure most of the time, such as privacy key leak, hijacking, etc. Not to mention most of them are closed sources to begin with. Not a good choice if you're dealing with high-profile transactions.

Is there really no way for the community to argue against this kind of law? I suspect almost every crypto user would be uncomfortable with such a law. I'm referring to something like a judicial review or something similar, not just a protest or demonstration on the street. I guess that will be easier if crypto becomes mainstream and most people use it, but if it stays niche then the government can easily crush any opposition. CMIIW.

By he, do you mean the quoted user above? Then yes. He mentioned using different seed/wallet to make transactions and a mixer to bridge one to the other. Personally, I don't think that will guarantee that any chain analysis company won't be able to break down the link, but it should take some time unless they use a terrible mixer. You should not expect privacy if you use any KYC-ed platform to begin with.
