Nope. Definitely not ready yet for a main currency. Could work well as a hedge though.

Also, I think people are afraid to hold physical cash due to the fear of it being contaminated, not fiat money in general. People could still transact freely through banks and through services like PayPal/Venmo/Cash App without risking their health.

I'd say purchase a hardware wallet and store the coins yourself for them instead. I personally really wouldn't trust my family members to have a recovery seed or a paper wallet backup and still have it in 5-8 years LOL; especially if it's not a good amount of money. 5-10 years later after they realize that bitcoin rose so much in price they'll be like "oh shit where did I put that paper backup again?". I can almost guarantee it.

Nice. Though obviously may fees dahil as a business kelangan rin kumita ng Moneybees, sana hindi garapalan.

Also curious about ung KYC/AML nila. Sana hindi rin OA.

If a "newbie" really wants to learn and is willing to spend a good amount of time reading, then I always suggest this: https://www.coindesk.com/learn

Obviously it doesn't contain everything, but it's a good starting point and it contains enough information to keep someone busy for a while.

Pretty much. So in the end, wala rin lang difference compared sa ibang gambling platforms kasi idadaan rin lang naman sa non-custodial wallets. 🤷

Well, to be honest, though I wouldn't personally do it, go with it if you really wanted to. Inviting them to Bitcointalk wouldn't hurt unless you advertise Bitcointalk as a platform to earn money. Like how some people promote Bitcointalk to their friends.

Not sure nga rin kung anong ibig sabihin nung statement pero parang sinabi nalang na "oo illegal pero wag na kayo mabahala."

Also, *ehem* registered business *ehem*

PoS can be a better option for the typical person(that can't afford a good number of ASICs) assuming that the PoS issuance stays the same and that the price of that token stays the same or goes higher. Well, as we all know, most PoS coins/tokens are on a downtrend if you zoom-out the charts.

The method that's going to be for most people is either buying or earning bitcoin. With cloud mining though? As if you could actually earn a good amount of bitcoin. You'd be very lucky with even gaining a break even amount of bitcoin with cloud mining. It's simply either a scam, or a very very bad investment.

Lol what the heck does bitcoin have to do with these so called "bots" dying? The video doesn't even say crap. All it has is some ants moving, some medieval war music, and this "Huntercoin" thing mentioned in the description. Safe to presume that it's another useless and unnecessary project.

I mostly agree. The only time I think a kid THAT young(12-16) would need to know about bitcoin if that kid likes to trade game currency and items online; while at the same time telling that certain kid about PayPal cashbacks and such and how accepting bitcoin instead is safer. We don't need to shove Bitcoin down their throats. Next thing you know people are teaching 12 years olds about self sovereignty and stuff.

I don't think there's anything wrong with mentioning Bitcointalk(and other Bitcoin communities) really. Just say that Bitcointalk is one of the biggest Bitcoin communities today and leave it at that; I don't think you need to give so much emphasis on it like everyone needs to know the fact that this forum exists.

That's a very bad take. Freelancing can rack you up with good amounts of money if you're actually providing very good and in demand services. It's like saying that you should start a business because you can't make money being employed. It's not the case 100% of the time. Freelancing could mean a lot of things, freelancing is not just being a customer service rep or a online secretary or something.

Ehh.. having insurance is almost always good, though would it be worth it with them having the power to lock you out of your funds? I personally don't think so. There's a reason why a good number of people aren't fans of custodial wallets regardless how good the service is.

Personally, it's going do depend on some few things. Though I personally very rarely rent cars, if I would rent one and if I knew this one car rental agency accepts bitcoin, I'd probably go with that one just for funsies. If I'd personally frequently rent cars, me paying with bitcoin vs fiat really depends on bitcoin's price at the time of the rental. If bitcoin's price are quite low,  I'd definitely use fiat.

Do it like how Pascal Boyart does it. Create great art(Bitcoin related or not), and just provide a donation address. If people like it enough to give you some sats, they would. It's worked really well for Boyart because his art has reached trending in other Bitcoin communities.

Check out his art through his Bitcointalk profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2332109

Or doesn't even know the difference between a SegWit and a non-SegWit address.. I mean, take a look at the user applications on the ChipMixer signature campaign thread.. 😬😬

Lol pretty much. Crap talkers and fudsters like the Kaos77(or something) dude that has extremely strong opinions against Bitcoin are still present. I mean, it's not like they're suddenly not allowed to post after the merit system has been implemented.

Though this is definitely preferable as it's less of a hassle for a bitcoiner, the only difference with this is that your bitcoin is converted to the local currency at the point of sale; compared to what most of us are doing currently-- manually selling bitcoin for the local currency. In both cases bitcoins are still being sold 99% of the time. Your typical merchant really won't be holding the bitcoin unless bitcoin becomes steady enough(sometime in the future).

Bitcointalk pretty much has a monopoly on forum-style communities so I doubt it would disappear just out of nowhere.

With that said, if ever Bitcointalk shuts down for whatever reason, you can guarantee that someone would probably create a similar alternative; or probably people would move to other existing forums.
