Theoretically, anyone in the world can own bitcoin, this is everyone's right, of course, but in practice there are many factors that affect the application of this matter realistically.

For example, there are many poor countries in the world that do not have electricity or the Internet, or that it exists, but it is very bad. People in these countries are very poor and do not find anything to eat, let alone own bitcoin.
Second: There are many people even in the developed world who have not heard of Bitcoin, and even if they hear about it, they do not believe in it and are afraid of owning it because they do not know the true value of Bitcoin and believe the lies of governments about Bitcoin.

So practically there are large enough amounts of bitcoin for all those who believe in privacy and decentralization and that bitcoin is a store of value.

There are some options for buying bitcoins, but they are limited due to the fact that governments monitor these transactions, so I found the best way to buy and sell bitcoins away from central exchanges and KYC is P2P.

In my country, there are still no laws prohibiting bitcoin, but despite that, and in anticipation of any change from the government, I always use P2P through a reliable local broker. There are brokers spread in every country, so you must find one in your country.

They charge about 1-2% on every dollar-bitcoin exchange or vice versa.

If you own a corrupt exchange like FTX and a lot of money to bribe politicians and finance elections, you will surely have internet in prison and all the luxuries you want to have, a simple bribe to corrupt politicians and everything is solved.

It is a shame that the case has taken so long Despite the clear evidence and the clear implication of Sam Bankman-Fried on all counts against him, it is a shame to see such things in the country that describes itself as the largest free democracy in the world.

I agree with you, I also do not think that the reason for the decline is the sale of SpaceX holdings because as you mentioned, Musk himself did not reveal anything after the spread of this news. In addition, it is unlikely that Musk would sell his Bitcoin holdings at a price lower than the purchase price, this is far from businessman thinking.

There may be more than one reason for this sudden decline, including, for example, the interest rate hike in the United States of America, as well as the news of huge sales and long liquidations in many exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and others.

In any case, yes, there is no need to panic, because this is not the first time, and it is certain that Bitcoin will return to its position soon.

Yes, absolute anonymity is not an inherent aspect of the Bitcoin protocol, Bitcoin is transparent because all transactions can be traced and its many branches can be traced from the first day of the birth of the wallet, but all that can be known is the addresses only without knowing the true identity of the owner of the address.

The main problem lies in centralized third-party services that force users to submit to KYC, AML standards and force their users to apply them by providing official documents, if you use these centralized services once, this will lead to linking between your bitcoin addresses and your identity, and here privacy is eliminated in a way complete.

I guess faucets are not that profitable anymore, not many people are interested in them now and it's hard to find enough users who are interested in faucets so that they can get enough advertising revenue to keep the faucets alive.

There was a golden period for faucets but these days it is gone, now there is a lot of work and time wasted for the sake of a little frivolous profit that is not worth it. I worked on faucets for a long time when I started but gave it up a long time ago.

طبعا الأخبار منتشرة على كل وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي لكنها غير مؤكدة ولم يصدر أي تصريح من إيلون ماسك أو شركة SpaceX حول الموضوع.
منطقيا هذا مستبعد لكون إيلون ماسك اشترى البيتكوين في عام 2021 تقريبا وكانت معدلا الأسعار في ذلك الوقت أعلى من السعر الحالي وبما أنه رجل أعمال لايحب الخسارة من غير المتوقع أن يبيع بهذه الأسعار.

لا أحد يعرف الحقيقة لكن لا أستبعد أن يكون ماسك يتلاعب بالسوق كعادته عن طريق نشر هذه الاخبار.

نعم أخي لايتكوين كما ذكرت نسخة خفيفة من البيتكوين وكما هو معروف يتم تشبيه البيتكوين بالذهب واللايتكوين بالفضة نظرا لكونهما متشابهتين في الكثير من الخصائص الفريدة ويختلفان في السعر وفي بعض الأمور الأخرى.

اللايتكوين يتفوق على البيتكوين في سرعة المعاملات وانخفاض الرسوم لكن البيتكوين يتفوق في اللامركزية والأمان، للأسف أن لايتكوين لم يحظى بالاهتمام الكافي من المجتمع ولا أدري ما الأسباب الحقيقة لذلك؟، انا شخصيا كنت من المهتمين باللايتكوين منذ فترة طويلة وجمعت كميات منها على أمل أن يحدث ارتفاع كبير مثل البيتكوين لكن للأسف هذا مالم يحدث.

على كل حال الترقية الأخيرة MimbleWimble التي تركز على الخصوصية يمكن أن تعطي زخم جديد وإعادة اهتمام المجتمع باللايتكوين كعملة تحافظ على الخصوصية وآمل أن نرى عودة الاهتمام بهذه العملة التي تستحق الاهتمام فعلا.

No, it is not protected!! I believe that my data in the bank is not protected. It is true that, as you say, no one can view it, but when necessary, this data is given to any government employee, so it cannot be said that it is protected.
The concept of protection differs between centralized and decentralized services. Do not forget that you are in the Bitcoin forum, which believes in decentralization and privacy in the first place and gives it the utmost importance, so you see that most of the questions revolve around these points.

Yes, the policy made to simplify the understanding of the service, but you should not be disturbed by the discussion. Agreeing to the terms of service without reading and discussing them is what leads to the emergence of problems and disputes later.

However, if you are bothered by the discussion, you can simply lock the thread.

Yes it is clear that the OP wants to write any topic to get some merit and activity in the forum, it's been about 6 days since the topic was written and members asked him some information to help but he hasn't provided any response to the thread he started yet.

These disgraceful actions will lead to a negative result, as he will lose the community's trust instead of upgrading his account.

Although the US dollar (USD) and Bitcoin (BTC) are opposite in all characteristics where the dollar is centralized and bitcoin is decentralized and bitcoin maintains privacy while the dollar does not, they are actually two separate and interdependent forces despite being opposite.

Determining the price of bitcoin is directly related to the dollar, so it is natural to see a decline in the value of bitcoin when the strength of the dollar rises, as they are opposite, while if there are factors affecting the price of the dollar negatively, this will reflect positively on the price of bitcoin, although this rise could be imaginary due to inflation. And the dollar lost some of its purchasing power.

This mechanism can be understood through the example of gold because gold and the dollar are also interrelated but opposite, for example when the value of gold rises, this rise is in fact a result of inflation and the dollar losing some of its value and purchasing power while the real value of gold is fixed.

It may be a coincidence that the problem is repeated twice with the same user, and this may be a kind of fraud that he takes as a profession. We cannot judge until we hear the justification of the accused member.

Although from the first impression I think that it is difficult to repeat the same problem with the same player twice!! This is somewhat difficult to happen because the question that will come to everyone's mind is why these problems occur only with this member? Especially when the casino is reliable and has a good reputation, this makes such charges hard to believe.

Such things harm the reputation of the forum as well as the reputation of Crypto, especially since governments want to catch anything suspicious to discredit Crypto.

According to the AML/KYC Policy for OKpays.com:
This item would not be recommended by many users because firstly the right to verify the identity of the user continuously and secondly that you can simply freeze the account if you consider the activity unusual or suspicious? What criteria do you use to determine if user activity is unusual or suspicious?

Well I don't see this as appropriate at all, "User identification information will be collected, stored, shared, and protected strictly"? How do you share and protect it at the same time???!!! Who will this information be shared with?

شكرا لك أخي خالد هذه هي مشكلتي بالضبط.
أريد تفقد الرصيد بدون فتح المحفظة كل مرة لذلك سأعمل بنصيحتك وأقوم بتعطيل خاصية ارسال الباقي إلى عنوان جديد في  محفظة الكتروم.
الخصوصية تهمني أيضا ، لكن أنا استخدم هذه المحفظة بشكل مؤقت فقط من اجل استقبال الدفع من الحملة لذلك استخدم نفس العنوان دائما في كل الحملات أو المسابقات التي أشترك فيها بالمنتدى.

أنا في العادة كما ذكرت أقوم بنقل جميع البيتكوين إلى المنصة التي أتداول فيها حيث أخصص جزء بسيط للتداول والقسم الآخر أحوله إلى عملة بلدي المحلية من أجل المصاريف الشهرية ، ولكن منذ فترة قررت أن أقوم ب DCA في هذه المحفظة بما أنه تبقى أقل من سنة على هالفينغ البيتكوين وكما هو متوقع عند الجميع سيكون هناك ارتفاع في السعر كما حدث في المرات السابقة ، وهنا حصلت المشكلة أو سوء الفهم معي عندما أصبحت أنقل جزء وأترك الباقي.

لذلك الآن أفضل حل بالنسبة لي أن أقوم بإرسال جزء إلى المنصة لتصريفه والجزء الآخر أنقله إلى محفظة جديدة خاصة ب DCA .

شكرا لك أخي خالد للنصيحة ولكل الأخوة الذين ساهموا في هذا الموضوع.

The effect that I think this move from PayPal will have is the trend towards more centralization and government control, also the elimination of privacy, that's what I think.

Centralized stablecoin is worse than fiat if you didn't know, it's more like CBDC than cryptocurrency. So you don't have to get too excited about such big news.

Yes, Paypal is a very old and great name in the field of online payment services around the world, and this step will bring more users, but they will not be happy anyway due to their use of a central Stablecoin and the application of KYC, AML restrictions.

Not all stablecoins are safe but of course stablecoins that are accepted by the US government and the SEC will remain safe as they promote centralization and government control.

Recently PayPal launched its own stablecoin and it has a lot of support from the US government because PayPal is fully subject to US regulatory laws regarding KYC, AML is fully dollar backed of course this will enhance the dominance of the dollar around the world thanks to the widespread services of PayPal around the world.

Control is what the United States seeks, and it does not matter if this happens through the paper dollar or the digital dollar.

I am also inclined to the view that Bitcoin today represents a store of value more than a means of payment, of course, due to the well-known problems, especially the problem of scalability, which impedes the spread of transactions worldwide due to the limited possibility of accommodating this large amount of transactions upon global adoption.

It is difficult for Bitcoin to become a global currency that can be used for small and fast daily transactions unless the problems of scalability, network congestion and high fees are solved, so I see the future of Bitcoin more as a store of value and a means of hedging.

بارك الله فيك أخي Kavelj22 على التوضيح البسيط والمفهوم.
نعم إذا لم يتم استخدام هذه الأشياء فلن نتعلم كل شيء حولها، تبقى هذه المفاهيم جديدة وبحاجة وقت للاطلاع على تفاصيلها.

بالنسبة لهذا الموضوع نعم سيكون ذو فائدة كبيرة لي وللمبتدئين وكذلك الزوار بما أن المصادر العربية قليلة في هذا الشأن، وهذه فائدة المنتدى صراحة هي تبادل الأفكار والمعلومات.
هناك كثير من هذه المواضيع والمعلومات القيمة متناثرة في النقاشات ضمن مواضيع مختلفة لو تمكن أحد الأعضاء من جمعها في موضوع واحد منسق أو عدة مواضيع حسب الأفكار سيكون مشروع كبير للقسم العربي ربما أفكر بالعمل عليه في المستقبل إذا سمحت لي الظروف.

ما شاء الله أخي ميكي انت مدرسة حقيقية، رغم أنني كنت محرج في البداية من كتابة الموضوع إلا أنني اكتشفت فعلا أن هناك الكثير من التفصيلات التقنية التي ما أزال أجهلها وربما يجهل الكثيرون رغم مرور كل هذا الوقت بالعمل في مجال كريبتو.

لا أعرف ربما السبب قلة المصادر حول هذه المواضيع التفصيلية باللغة العربية، مثلا أنا أعرف هذه الأشياء التي ذكرتها UTXO و ADDRESS و WALLET بشكل عام لكنني لا أعرف التفاصيل التي ذكرتها حول UTXO وطريقة عمل المحفظة بالتفصيل التقني.

صراحة أصابني الإحراج بعد كتابة الموضوع لأنني كما ذكرت أول مرة تصادفني هذه الحالة كوني كنت أرسل دائما كامل الرصيد إلى المنصة التي أتداول بها حيث أقوم بالتداول بقسم والقسم الآخر أحوله إلى عملتي المحلية من أجل المصاريف الشهرية ، لكني الآن أتمنى أن ارتكب المزيد من هذه الأخطاء حتى أتعلم المزيد لأنه فعلا كما يقولون الأخطاء هي أكبر معلم. والإنسان بحاجة إلى التعلم وزيادة معرفته بشكل دائم.

شكرا لك أخي ميكي على هذا الشرح الممتع وإتحافنا بمعلومات جديدة كل مرة.

This behavior has become very common in the forum. This is normal because the forum is the largest and oldest community of Bitcoin and Crypto, and everyone is interested in promoting their services in the most important forum.

Many newbie accounts are registered on the forum with the aim of promoting a specific service later. Personally, I do not see a problem if the account adheres to the rules of the forum and tries to gain the trust of the community in a legal and honorable way. The problem lies in those scammers who are only interested in spreading any nonsense to reach their goal in illegal ways. These should be reported immediately and the forum cleaned of them.
