Damages and product defects happen, and it happens to pretty much any company. Yes, even with behemoth companies like Apple and Microsoft. That's what their customer support is for— for reporting damages as so they could hopefully help you or by them replacing the item.

Depending where you're from(unless you're from a poorer country), and especially with a Newbie account, bounties aren't going to be worth your time. I heavily suggest doing something else that could benefit you long-term instead.

If you're out of the loop: The United States federal reserve has been printing the US Dollar like there's no tomorrow, effectively harming the value of the USD in the long term. This makes bitcoin useful in this case due to it's steady supply distribution, and due to the fact no bitcoin can be minted after 21 million.

Who is buying the bitcoin? That we don't know for sure, but Grayscale's number of bitcoin in custody has risen by a lot, so by this, we could make an assumption that the institutional investors might be buying in. That, or the current bitcoin holders are continuing to buy in, hence the price rise without that much hype(like in 2017) with retail investors.

Should be pretty simple. DisplayedBTCPrice - ActualBTCPrice = the fee you're paying.

Or did I misunderstand what you're trying to say?

Hello. Patient and positive bitcoin enthusiast here. I held my bitcoin through the rise and crash.

Just fyi, if a certain asset crashes, you don't really "lose" your money if you didn't sell. Because in bitcoin's case, obviously, it goes back up. And it is doing that just now as we're only like $2k from the all-time high.

Something something simple and lightweight. The reason why I've been using Preev a lot is because it gives you the necessary information(bitcoin's price, obviously) without any unnecessary fluff.

Technically they could, but since when did bitcoin provide dividends though? You're not investing in Grayscale, you're investing in bitcoin through Grayscale. There's a significant difference.

You don't need to, and trust me when I say it's going to be obvious if you're going to positively talk about the company just because you have them on your signature.

With that said, It'd probably be a great idea to join a campaign of a company/service that actually goes with your personal morals and ethics. Not like this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286822

It's the same dude who made a prediction in 2013 that gold is on its way to $3,500 and silver to $100.

and yea, he was significantly off the mark.

To put it simply, I'm someone who values my privacy A LOT. And along with that, I was undecided at first with the idea of self-custody over my money, but when I experienced it with Bitcoin, I immediately realized that there was no going back. Having total control over my money, meaning no centralized entity can simply revoke my access to my funds, makes me sleep a lot better at night.

Quite weird indeed, knowing that bitcoin is a highly volatile asset and suggesting people(that don't know anything about investing) to buy such and asset could potentially be really dangerous due to potential panic selling and such.

But to be honest, if you think of it, these days it's becoming more "risky" to actually not hold bitcoin.

Any updates sa current situation diyan? Been seeing on social media na may lack of resources parin, pero how about the flood? Lubog parin ba ung mga bahay sa mga mababang lugar?

Grayscale is a fund, and people invest in them to get exposure to bitcoin. It's not like they literally own the 500,000 bitcoin, the coins are just in their custody for their investors. Pretty much for those people who want to take advantage of bitcoin's price rise but isn't willing to learn how to secure their funds and such.

It isn't available for everyone yet. As far as I know, it's only available in the United States and a few other countries.

If you mean "affect the supply" by taking some bitcoin out of circulation after buying, then it still has an effect since you're pretty much buying real bitcoin through Paxos.

Though correlation is not causation, It most likely is the reason. It's also might be the reason why Square's Bitcoin-related revenue pretty much skyrocketed in Q2 and Q3 of 2020. I'd say it's a pretty safe assumption.

Pretty much probably 90% of Bitcoin enthusiasts. It's the disadvantage of having people that are mostly knowledgeable in the technical stuff, and just scoff at the UI/UX side whereas they're mostly just stuck inside their bubble of like-minded people. Not saying that this is bad per se, but could lead to bad opinions with totally ignoring the non-technical masses.

We really need to stop using the "scam" word as a sort of synonym to "bad service"; because obviously there's a HUGE difference between the two.

PayPal's cryptocurrency-related services are definitely very very limited, but it has been the same with Cash App in the past. The likeliness of what's going to happen is, it's a slow rolling out of features; because I'm pretty sure PayPal is totally aware that bitcoin is really hot right now, and it's smart for them(business wise) to take advantage of this hype and roll out their buy/sell feature asap.

Oh, with this quote I thought you were specifically talking about making money on Bitcointalk, not outside of it. Anyway, goodluck with getting answers but this is off-topic.

I can confidently say that there's likely no one earning $10,000 per month doing whatever here on Bitcointalk, probably besides the forum owner himself.

In the first place, Bitcointalk isn't a forum made solely for making money. This is for like-minded people to discuss what a lot of us are passionate about: Bitcoin.
