That is true, and especially younger people never even heard that Bitcointalk forum exists, and I am just hoping they won't get evil fee welcome message when they try to register, or they will consider it a scam.

I am all for activating twitter account with weekly or monthly news and interesting posts, and creating bitcointalk youtube account is a good idea, but youtube censorship is getting more strict every day, and I remember how they banned bunch of Bitcoin content before.

When you purchase a new hardware wallet device you don't expect to receive modified fake device with malicious code, but that is always possible as one of many Attack Vectors for Hardware Wallets.

Important thing is to order hardware wallets only from official website or official resellers , but you should do few more steps to verify integrity of hardware wallet, packaging and content inside, to avoid being scammed with fake device.

First follow the link Check if your Ledger wallet device is genuine and take a good look for content inside, recovery sheet paper should always be blank with space for 24 seed words.

Box for Ledger Nano S box is containing a wallet, cable, 3 paper cards, Getting started card, Did you notice card with blank Recovery sheets; keychain and a lanyard:



Box for Ledger Nano X box is containing a wallet, cable, 5 paper cards, Getting started card, Use, Care and Regulatory Statement; blank Recovery sheets, keychain and stickers:



You can also Check hardware integrity but last time I checked images of PCB boards on website, they didn't match the latest update and state on actual hardware device.

Trezor packaged their hardware wallets in such way that you must destroy the box to open it and use Trezor device, so it's very hard for scammers to repack and resale it, unless they make their own boxes.

Trezor packaging timeline is showing evolution of their boxes and they tried with various holographic seals that scammers easily made fake and sold as original, and In 2018 Trezor wrote an article to address fake devices and packages  

Trezor Model One is containing the wallet, cable, 2 Recovery seed cards and stickers:



Trezor Model T Box is containing the wallet, magnetic dock, cable, 2 Recovery seed cards and stickers:



You can check Unboxing page and Tamper-evident hologram to avoid fake devices.

If you have any doubt with hardware wallet you purchased, directly contact wallet manufacturers support and ask them to confirm if device is authentic.

ColdCard wallet is using several supply chain protections, like tamper-evident plastic bag with unique number matching the number onsecure element, they have clear plastic case and inside is filled with eopxy material that makes it much harder or remove chips and change anything inside.

51% attack is NOT some error in Bitcoin code and I don't know how you got that idea in the first place 
Taking over mining hashrate for Bitcoin is almost impossible task, some people tried to take over with various forks but they failed, this is most secured computer network in the whole world, and anyone willing to throw away many can try that again and se how it goes.

No you didn't shoot yourself in the foot, but it's always better option not connecting your bitcoin addresses with your real identity.
One option you have is using bitcoin mixers like Chipmixer that will make very hard for anyone to identify source of your coins,
or you can use exchanges that allow trading (with some withdrawal limits) even if you didn't pass kyc verification.
Best option is using decentralized exchanges like Bisq or P2P trading websites like LocalCryptos that nobody can control.

Tesla first accepted payments in Bitcoin but later they removed it because of Elon Musk and some stupid reasons related with his carbon credits.
Laws can be changed at any time and Bitcoin can be asset, currency or legal tender, all depending what country we are talking about, but I doubt that United States will change this any time soon.

Nobody cares about buying peanuts with Bitcoin, so nothing will change there and I don't expect Bitcoin to replace USD or other fake stable form of payments.

I don't expect anything from IRS, but I expect that people finally say enough and remove this idea of central governments and tax payments that is obviously not working good for majority of people, or should I say it's working perfectly for small minority.

I don't like the idea of any tribes and having fans in forum, but personal center and Invitations may be a good and interesting idea for bringing new genuine people to forum.

For notifications we already have several options like @BTTSuperNotifier_bot Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) for Telegram app, made by TryNinja or
LoyceV's notification bot, and both of them are working perfectly fine.

Bitcoin fees are very low now and it can be sent for as low as 1 sat/vB or $0.05 transaction fee, but it's possible that mempool will get full again and fees will be higher in future.
There are several possible solutions for this like using sidechains or Lightning Network, but nobody is using Bitcoin for buying bread and coffee anyway.
Imagine what people did in past when gold and silver was used as payment option, they created copper or other alloys for that purpose, and nobody was wasting gold for purchasing bread.

You can connect your keepkey hardware wallet with Electrum wallet and you will be able to see or generate as many addresses as you need, but I don't understand why you need any custodian for this.
I am not sure what the procedure is for other software wallets, but here are instructions for Electrum Integration:

I don't trust anything that big tech, Bezos or Amazon are saying, and they always have some hidden motives behind everything they do.
They hired some blockchain people few months ago, and there are some rumors they are working on creating their own token to be used instead of Bitcoin.
You can imagine that they will control supply and everything else related with potential amazon token including some kyc verification, and for Bitcoin they can always have some stupid excuse like high fees, etc.

Yes, I think they are using exact same device as Jade wallet, but one problem with Jade code is that some people don't like their pin code connected with their server.
Krux would be alternative for that but I would wait few weeks or months for some code audits and reviews.

Or until scammers send you modified ''free gift'' fake device, because your address got leaked in one of ledger leaks (true story) 

Poplave su sada postale normalna globalna pojava a ti se za svaki slučaj drži iznad mora i uživaj dok možeš

E opet ovi indexovci rade totalni copy-paste, jer sam ovu ''novost'' i identično glupi naslov čitao neki dan na engleskom jeziku i na nekoj od crypto stranica. 

It's not easy to follow all Electrum updates, but good thing is they are very active and following development of hardware wallets, even if I am not a fan of Shamir Backup, some people obviously use it.
We talked about it before and I compared it with superior Multisig option in one of my topics Multisig VS Shamir Secret Sharing.

I see there is one more change in GUI for latest version of Electrum, and they added "funded or unused" filter option to Addresses tab.

Taproot will improve Bitcoin scripting capabilities and privacy that is especially important when using multisig and Lightning Network.
There will be changes inside but regular users won't even notice most of them, addresses will be the similar bc1 like segwit and fees will probably be much lower for multisig.

I don't know what ethereum newton is and I don't care, but Bitcoin has nothing to do with that, it is simple version of smart contract with much less chance of having bugs in code.

Main advantage for FTX exchange is the fact that they don't charge any fees for withdrawing Bitcoin from their account to your own wallet, but limits are very low for unverified account without kyc verification.
Giving higher limits would probably put them in the same trouble boat with Binance and draw more attention of regulators on them, so they are still managing to balance that.

I am supporting the red Flag in this case, and I gave them negative feedback before.
It looks like WhaleMixer was preparing exit scam for some time and several people warned about them in their ANN topic, mocacinno even made few big reviews and someone from bitcointalk even tested their mixing system (I can't remember who it was exactly).
It's now more than seven days since they last showed up online in forum!

I am not using Mycelium wallet so I don't know and I don't care what they used for advertising, but 1xbit is known for aggressive marketing so it's no surprise to see them everywhere, including in bitcointalk signature campaign.
Disable that option to show ads in setting if possible or just switch to better alternative wallets like BlueWallet or Electrum.

Your website aka discord invite link is expired, so you may want to fix that, but I would personally never used discord based exchange.

People always complain when blocks are full and fees are high, and they wonder what is happening when blocks are empty and fees low
Everything is probably connected with news coming from China, big moving of miners, regulations, and general cooldown interest for crypto in past few months.
Use this period smart for consolidating your coins and don't expect that this situation will last forever.

Charities should decide for themselves if they want to accept that Bitcoin or not, but it's a bit hypocritical that someone criticize Bitcoin donations when we have examples of fake charitable funds and donations made in fiat and used with sole purpose of money laundering and avoiding tax payment (hint Gates, Bezos, Buffett, Bloomberg, Musk, Soros, etc.)
One Bitcoin = One Bitcoin and there should be no difference based on the source of donation or some other nonsense like that.

This was announced even earlier so I am not surprised but people should understand that we have the power and not regulators.
EU, all other governments and big tech are trying hard to centralize everything and make some weird fourth reich totalitarian control of everything we do and think both online and offline.
Just imagine if nobody would follow their stupid rules, I knows it's hard but just try it, they could not enforce anything on us, and we don't even need majority of people.
I think it's time for our own people's reset of bureaucracy and crooked political system, or we may wake up in great digital gulag soon.
