Like would it be good if we could create a system that somehow will make the life of criminals who use Bitcoin harder?
That's not really a good idea. If you create a system to make the the life of <usergroup-A> harder, what's stopping you from using that same system to make the life of <usergroup-B/C/D..> harder for whatever reason you can think of. Bitcoin is permissionless for a reason.

It is stealing. Simple as that. ..since its considered lost and for sure its owner had already accepted his fate...
Yeah, nice joke. Considered lost by whom? And why? Doesn't matter what you think, there's no way for you to tell if coins are lost at all, just because they haven't moved for 12-13years. Whatever you tell yourself, you're just trying to justify your stealing. Not to mention that when you're able to "find" PKs to those lost coins, what's stopping you from "finding" PKs to any other coins? All coins would be in danger of put in safe way by you or anyone else. No coin would be safe anymore.

.., which would require all decentralized entities to comply with rigorous AML requirements.
If it's decentralized, who's the one going to comply with ..anything?

And what makes you think that face (or iris, or fingerprint,...) recognition technology cannot be fooled? Blockchain networks for CBDC ...
Why would CBDCs need a blockchain anyway?

Is ein Netzwerk das quasi nur aus Minern besteht nich irgendwie sinnlos? Ich hab den praktischen Nutzen der ganzen Sache zumindest noch nich erkannt. Da hängen ein paar Leute Temperatursensoren in den Wald und das wars dann? Da bleib ich doch lieber Freifunker, da verdien ich zwar nix, aber dafür versteh ich wenigstens, wozu das gut is.

.. what they are doing is a bad thing for bitcoin in the future because if the initial code is changed, ..
There's no such thing as IF. People already changed the code, there are POS-versions of bitcoin out there, it's just that noone uses them, cuz...well, they suck. Greenpeace is asking for a change that already happened years ago.

Beispiel. Man verkauft als Privatmann einen Oldtimer und macht dadurch einen Gewinn von 30tkm. Dieser ist dann steuerfrei.
30tkm? Das is aber schon ne ganz schöne Strecke die man da Gewinn macht. Allerdings kann man die (wie bei Bitcoin) nur dann steuerfrei (ein-)fahren, wenn man das Fahrzeug schon mindestens ein Jahr besessen hat. Wenn Det bei "Mein neuer Alter" nen "Zwischenhandel" macht, hinterzieht er auch jedesmal die Steuer, scheint aber niemanden zu stören. Außerdem geht's beim Thema "eBay muss Verkäufer melden" doch nich um Kleinanzeigen, weiß eBay da überhaupt, ob man was verkauft hat, oder nicht?

No, those few times when I'm able to pay with BTC, I don't feel bad at all. Those times are rare, very, which makes me feel bad, ..or rather sad.
I would love to pay in BTC, it's just not possible at those places where I usually buy stuff and to use some kind of proxy-service that gets me anything for BTC is not easier at all than exchanging the coins for fiat myself and probably more expensive too, so that just doesn't make sense to me.
Sad but true, after more than a decade down in the rabbit hole the only things I ever actually paid for directly in BTC were mining-hardware (in the early days), hosting (vps/dedis), games and drugs. For everything else I'm more or less forced to use the old systems and I highly doubt it to change anytime soon, as long as everyone treats Bitcoin as an investment.

Naja, irgendwie is das doch ne sehr engstirnige Sicht. Wikipedia sagt: Eine Revolution ist ein grundlegender und nachhaltiger struktureller Wandel eines oder mehrerer Systeme, der meist abrupt oder in relativ kurzer Zeit erfolgt. Er kann friedlich oder gewaltsam vor sich gehen. Klar, wenn man in seine Betrachtung ausschließlich politische Revolutionen einbeziehen, die Regierungen stürzen und die eigenen Kräfte an die Macht bringen wollen, dann mag da keine unblutige dabeisein, aber ich frag mich schon, wieso man Bitcoin ausgerechnet da einsortieren will. Bitcoin will ja nichteinmal das Finanzsystem ändern (geschweige denn das politische), sondern einfach nur ne Alternative sein, ne Option, ne Wahlmöglichkeit, die wir vorher nicht hatten. Aus Bitcoin-Perspektive kann das alte System ruhig so bleiben, wie's war. Revolution is da ganz anders.

So far, nobody had found any legit evidence that CIA created Bitcoin.
And nobody ever will. Why would the CIA ask Gavin to hold a speech and tell them what it is and how it works, if it was them who created it? Doesn't make much sense to me.

...he may had bought more...
There was no real reason to buy more back then though, it was just a matter of letting your CPU crunch some numbers in the background for a couple of hours to mine a bunch of blocks worth 50btc each. Even my HP Omnibook with a Pentium-III 1000 (which was already quite old at that time) mined a few blocks a day in 2010. I guess the first RaspberryPi could have done the job too, but that didn't even exist until 2012 (i think?). It's not like bitcoin was some kind of investment-asset like it is today, more of a toy for us nerds to play around with. And we did. And it worked. And it still does, isn't that great?

Auch das kannst Du über die URL-Patterns lösen, dann gehen bei Dir eben nicht alle .onion-URLs über tor, sondern alle bitcointalk.org-URLs.
Sollte gehn.

.., the Bitcoin mining process will be finished.
Who told you that? Don't listen to them anymore. Even when the last Bitcoin (or rather satoshi) has been mined, the mining process will never be finished. The only thing that's finished then is the initial distribution of coins. no mining = no new blocks no new blocks = no transaction will ever be "confirmed", they would be stuck in mempool forever So, if people want bitcoin transactions to work, someone needs to mine blocks, no matter with or without generating new coins.

Why do you guys think that, once all Bitcoins are mined, the price will become more stable?
It's supply and demand that set the price. On the supply-side it doesn't really matter much, if there's around 19mill, or 21mill in circulation, 'cuz there's only a few mill actually available on the markets, the demand doesn't care at all if it's fulfilled by old, or newly generated coins.
So, what is it that makes the price more stable?

Früher™ hab ich die FoxyProxy-Extension ( FF, chrome) genutzt, um in einem Browser clearnet, i2p und tor gleichzeitig zu fahren. Dazu muss man natürlich noch irgendwo einen tor-Node (bzw i2p-Node) laufen haben, über den man dann surfen will. Dann kann man bestimmte URL-Patterns angeben, bei denen man den einen, oder anderen Weg geht, also bei .onion über tor, bei .i2p über i2p und beim Rest halt ganz ohne Proxy. Das hat derzeit recht gut funktioniert, hab das so aber schon recht lange nichtmehr im Einsatz, kann mich zur aktuellen Lage also nich äußern. N Versuch isses allemal wert.

In the early days, you could mine off your home PC and be very profitable, cause the competition was low as well as the difficulty level.
Sure, you could mine on practically any home PC, but why do you think it was very profitable? It wasn't. Simply because those coins weren't actually worth much, like 1-10cent/btc (pre-GPU prices). You kept your CPU crunching for hours/days and got coins worth cents if you found a block. And besides that, you couldn't even sell those coins to anyone outside of this forum or the irc-channel and most users here or there just mined themselves. So, it wasn't mining that was very profitable, HODLing those coins was though. But for HODLing coins, it doesn't really matter if you mine them, buy them, or get them any other way.

Da war mal was mit Gebühren meine ich Na, das Fidor Gebühren eingeführt hat, is ja nu echt schon ne Weile her. Ich hab derzeit gleich nen "Sparbrief" für 100€ angelegt, damit konnte ich die Gebühren bis heute erfolgreich umgehen. Warte ja auchschon auf die Kündigung, kam aber nochnix und bisher funktioniert noch alles wie gehabt. Hoffe mal, die DKB gewinnt das Rennen, bei denen hab ich auch n Konto.

Sein NFT Bild als Bildschirmschoner und solche sachen sind meines erachtens überflüssig.
v.a. in 16 scales of grey Aber ich hab den Sinn von NFTs eh immernochnich verstanden (von irgendwelchen ingame-Items mal abgesehen). Ganz hübsch anzusehen, aber so richtig überzeugt bin ich nochnich. Geht wohl eher ums Design, wie beim iPod. Ich fand meine Archos-Jukebox damals auch viel praktischer, war zwar nich so schick, aber billiger, nutzte Standard AA-Akkus, die man unterwegs wechseln konnte und die HDD lies sich auch problemlos gegen ne größere austauschen. Bleibt zu hoffen, daß das Ding nich zum Türstopper wird, wenn nach ein paar Jahren der Akku seinen Geist aufgibt.
