No. It won't. Maybe some of them, those with not many features.

I think that people forget that there is a huge difference in numbers between the number of transactions on bitcoin network and most other altcoins; when those coins will reach to the amount of use Bitcoin has, they may face problems they didn't think of.

Now, Ethereum clearly differs as number of transactions, but that's because of the huge number of tokens. Can Bitcoin handle that now? No. So for now smart contracts are out of discussion.
Monero has pretty small number of transactions, but it has become the standard for anonymous coins. Would Bitcoin go on that path? I highly doubt it.

Indeed, there are plenty of coins (or forks) that only changed the algo, or the block size, or simply have bigger advertising. Those are already known as irrelevant or speculation-only (shit)coins. Yes, those may become obsolete at some point. But the coins/platforms that have come with something indeed new and relevant will most probably have their niche and won't become "obsolete" or replaced.

Well, Hamilton did very bad at Monaco, Max leads now the drivers championship and in the first two practice sessions until now the top4 was RBR and Ferrari, while Lewis has finished on 11 and Bottas on 16.
Of course, it doesn't necessarily tell that Max will win, but it surely tells that things are not so well at Mercedes.
Right now RBR seems to have to watch out for Ferrari, since the car looks solid and they made even more upgrades before Baku race.

And I could almost bet that there will be at least one red flag in the race. So whatever we calculate now it may just be blown away.

I fear that you were not clear enough either. You wrote "spells the name of". While the user name is indeed laszlo, the actual name is Laszlo (Hanyecz).
I talked most of the time about the... person, not the user, hence the capital L.
Also as fun fact, in the famous pizza post, he also signed himself as Laszlo. Yes, with capital L.

And the screenshot you've shown proves nothing. The forum is full of impersonators. I mean, if one wants to check, he has to research a little, for example follow the merits.

So yeah, you are overly exaggerating...

This a very nice way of putting the words. He tells that he believes strongly that the bull market is far from over, but also expresses that you are free to believe anything else.

However, keep in mind that, by the nature of his job, his statement is heavily biased.
I mean, would you expect to hear from somebody having a crypto business that Bitcoin and crypto is going to die, or (crypto) winter is coming?    

This is how market manipulation goes.
You can get angry, you can sell and lose money, or you can try to get some gains off it, or you can wait until the storm ends and meanwhile watch the show. (I do the last part, I guess that's clear by now.)

I'll also give you a tip: Bitcoin price was around 10k one year ago, so it can still go up or down by a wide margin, that's why it's advised to invest only what you afford to lose.

As much as you try, you cannot make such quality FUD as Elon. 
Also he has more readers than you do. 
So what's the point of this topic?
Also, spoiler alert: every human who lives now has pretty big chance to die before Bitcoin does.

There are news here and there about N Korea hackers being actually on govt payroll.
There are news here and there about N Korea hackers stealing Bitcoin from whatever they can hack - exchanges, users, whatever.
Only a small correlation is necessary to understand that N Korea does have interest in Bitcoin.

From this point to actually using the Bitcoins they may have for anything - from market manipulation to avoiding sanctions - is not such a big step.

This was the missing bit for my side. I stand corrected. And thank you.

Or, if that's not available, use a live Linux OS on the USB as cold storage.
Although it's less convenient, since you may need multiple reboots to switch between the main OS and the USB, it does the job gracefully.
Just that a second USB (for transfers) is cheaper than a second computer 

So you bought one too. Welcome to the club 


If this doesn't happen to you, then it may be an incompatibility between the bracelet and my phone which is 3 years old, although also Xiaomi.
And maybe I wasn't clear enough; it's not worse than one month ago, it's better, excepting basically only the e-mails which I may exclude from the band's notifications.

This was my dilemma. If it's basically old news, why they were published now? Were the journalists so much out of better topics or is there an intention somewhere for this story?
And that's why I thought that maybe it's supposed to be a warning from somebody powerful and annoyed by these tweets.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it 


LOL! Maybe only indirectly for crypto, but indeed, the focus will be on TSLA shares and such.
And also, the fines are as big and effective as a mosquito bite for an elephant.


Well, SEC fines are not necessarily for shutting him up (one cannot argue with the freedom of speech). They should be more a wake up call for the herd to stop following his every move.

Very true. Sadly.


That's correct. Unfortunately the world is.. how it is, not how we wish it to be...

Actually we, those who have seen many coins developed during the years, have noticed that if a coin doesn't "waste electricity", its price will rather soon go down never to recover.
So I guess that most of those answering are just afraid to lose money, not "bitcoin cultists".

So my advice is to make your own coin with this idea and see how it goes, but I must warn you (if you didn't already know) that it may be a wasted effort.
You can make your own fork too instead of coin, but then you may face the hate of some (especially if you'll use the word Bitcoin in your fork's name) and some of those having bitcoin will probably dump their fork-coins as soon as you'll give them the opportunity.

Of course, you are free to try.


PS. You should start with reading more about PoW and PoS, you seem to have quite some misconceptions here and there.

BTC and ETH (WBTC) are not anonymous chains, so you don't get anything as anonymity. And you gave as choices a shady platform (risk to lose money) and a centralized exchange (make everything even less anonymous). No.

If you want to do it right, the options you have are either a proper mixer or coinjoin, either atomic swap with Monero (which although I've read it's live, I'd give it some more time before using it).

I recommend you edit the screenshots to strip out the data you don't want to display and put them here.
I recommend you use public channels, else you may end up with scammers PM-ing you.

And, more on the topic, is there any chance you get the recovery seed from blockchain.com? Because if so, I'd advise you try to restore that wallet into Electrum (but make sure you run it on a clean computer and you verified Electrum before running it). I don't use blockchain wallet, but maybe these steps would be of help.

I'd also say that most probably he won't.
There were quite a number of possibly good reasons for him to come forward, especially when a bunch of clowns started to claim they're him, and he didn't. So why would he come out now?
No, no chance. I'd also say that his anonymity makes him - and us (!) - more powerful.

Every action has a reaction. Was this Bitcoin story a last straw for somebody, I don't know, but the SEC warning is from last year, so why now this news:

Business Insider: The SEC told Tesla twice that Elon Musk's tweets violated court orders requiring preapproval from company lawyers
WSJ: Tesla Failed to Oversee Elon Musk’s Tweets, SEC Argued in Letters


I guess that sooner or later somebody will have to pay for his big mouth. Again.

Update after 32 days of use:

Notifications:
* The duplicate notifications for Bitcointalk/Telegram no longer happen that often, especially after the last update of Xiaomi Wear app
* More annoying "duplication" of notifications happen with the e-mails (they keep coming until I remove the notification from the phone)
* All in all, it looks to be a bunch of bugs in Xiaomi Wear app, not with the bot or the other apps

Overall use:
* I like its faces and colors, you can play with them, but still the default few ones are easier to read (+)
* The transfer of data between the smart band and wear app is slooooow and only happens if you open the app (look into it). (-)
* Continuous hearth rate check is interesting to have, but unfortunately blood pressure check is missing.
* The battery lasts some 6 days, but I usually charge after kinda 5 days already

From a band 3 I've seen, the step forward is clearly noticeable, but I cannot tell that it's <so> big... It's just a smart band after all  


PS. SPO2 is "on demand" and I've used it some 5 times all together. Didn't look too accurate either...

No fees means off-chain transactions. There aren't many people old and smart enough to be escrow and careless enough to keep funds on custodian wallets.

1. If you are cheap on network fees you may end up losing all the money for being careless/getting the wrong escrow. You cannot really ask an escrow to help you out and also pay from his pocket for helping you out.

2. If you want to do this on Bitcoin and you can wait... bitcoin fees do drop now and then and you can profit then. Like for example the last 24h and maybe some days to follow too. I know that the post was 2 weeks ago, but now it can be a good time to do the transaction with low fees.

3. If all this is a problem, you can turn to altcoins and DYOR, since some have very small transaction fee. (But you can risk huge price changes, unless you choose to work with stable coins).
