If you visit some crypto forum you will see so many upcoming cryptocurrency projects coming into the industry but sometimes I begin to wonder what is their purpose of bringing in New crypto project knowing well that some of them have wrong motion of the project they are bringing, I have participated in so many of them last year but I have not hear from them again some are abandoned on the proccess with a lot of promises they come with just to gain your interest. What do you think?

Hi, everyone. I'm Cali Reign, a new, or I guess long absent returning member of BitcoinTalk. Active, in the adult entertainment industry. I was actually really shocked to see this forum still so active. I was a participant in GirlsGoneBitcoin, long, long, long ago. In the before for times, and have not really kept up on the industry.

In 2012-2013 there was a lot of talk about bitcoin (and I suppose blockchain in general) being used for improvements and optimization in the adult industry. Other than just straight payments (which ManyVids, Eros, etc) use, I haven't seen any real advances trickle down into the industry.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to point me to any active adult industry projects that I might check out. Yes, it's really me, feel free to reach out on any platform I use. Same Username as here is used everywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Cali

There's no reason to do it. PoS is less secure.

The only advantages of using it would be power consumption but that's pushed by the green enthusiasts who don't understand that the power used to mine Bitcoin would be produced and sold anyway. If we stopped mining all around the world the power plants would not start to shut down because of no demand.

With PoS Bitcoin would lose an important feature and with it a lot of value.

First, as FinneysTrueVision commented, ethereum 2.0 implemetation can not even be this year as I have read on news. Precautions are being taking to make it secure and safe. It is still under testing.

Secondly, I will prefer proof of work (POW), It provides employment.
1. Many people are employed in companies that produces miners
2. Many people are also employed by mining farms for work purposes

If all cryptocurrencies start using POS, many jobs will loss.

POS is not what bitcoin needs, it only needs what can make transactions faster with lower fee, but not in the way job will loss as I explained above.

What rumors? ETH hasn't moved to PoS yet. Proof of stake has not been proven to be more secure or decentralized than PoW, so there is no reason for Bitcoin to switch.

I doubt that will happen.  Exactly what 'experts' say this is happening?  how about pointing out some articles 

President Trump's attitude, which tends to be anti-Bitcoin, has raised the discourse that he could forbid the ownership of Bitcoin for citizens of the United States (US) in the future.

This discourse is based on two possibilities, namely Trump's tweet in 2019, that Trump is not a Bitcoin lover and second is a recognition of Trump's similar attitude, as stated in the book by John Bolton, a former White House security adviser.

Responding to the discourse of a possible ban on Bitcoin ownership, many people say the most likely action is an aggressive step by the government in dealing with laundering crimes related to Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Direct banning seems impossible, because Bitcoin is practically outside the structure of the country.

Gold is another store of value, but not that unstable. It reached 2000$ recently and was above 1000$ for many years. Those who invested in gold back in 1900 would have made a great choice since it costed only 20$ back then if I'm not wrong. (Although dollar was way more strong than now)

Bitcoin can lose 500$ within one night. Gold can't. Why that?

All traders want to always buy Bitcoin at a price cheaper than the market price. Apart from buying and selling on the ordinary, centralized crypto asset exchange, there is another option, namely a peer-to-peer exchange. In this exchange, asset prices are not “regulated” by the exchange manager, but directly by the users. In principle, a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange is a crypto asset exchange that is similar to an online shop, aka a marketplace. The role of the stock exchange manager is only to bring together the seller and buyer of assets directly on one platform. In other words, for example, if you want to sell Bitcoin, you have a trading booth on that platform. It is also possible to place ads on that platform by specifying the selling price of the asset. The advantage of an exchange like this is that the seller is free to determine the selling price as he wishes and the buyer can freely look for price variations on the exchange. Buyers can even get a much cheaper price than buying on a regular exchange.

BitcoinBTC maximalists "selling" it since 2015 as an alternative payments.

Last 3 years there were lot of adoptions of BTC Bitcoin mainly on trade markets.
But still no real daily market where the people use bitcoinBTC as a payment - just get out and try to buy a food for Bitcoin - almost impossible.

Limitation of amount for a coin like bitcoin or any other altcoin as well low inflation makes it only worth to use as wealth storage.

Gold were also a payment unit till middle of last century, but now it is only wealth storage and speculation object on market.

Same is almost happen with BTCbitcoinBTC, moreover it is to volatile to be used as payment.

Except Satoshi Nakamoto will defreeze his million BTCbitcoinBTC there is no chance for bitcoin to became real payment alternative to 100 of fiats and inbetween 3000 alternative coins, some with infinite supply.

"The global economic transformation now faces the main question: What to choose — centralization or decentralization?" What is 'The Great Reset' you might ask?

This topic can be very sensitive, but it's something that needs to be thrown at your face sometimes. We are still and will continue to be in an economic recession for god knows how long. Will crypto be the solution? Maybe for part of it...

Raoul Milhado produced a hell of an article that outlines what the world can look like in the coming months. He takes note of the WEF (World Economic Forum) making an impartial statement about a need for urgency for "global stakeholders" aka one-percenters to manage the outcomes of what is called "The Great Lockdown" <-- (SERIOUSLY READ THIS) His article can be found here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-role-will-crypto-play-during-the-great-reset

This 'lockdown' we have entered could be known as a cover to remake the world. The cost COVID-19 pandemic has surpassed every single epidemic/pandemic the world has ever seen. We've seen industries shift 90 degrees and take a bullet to the head but we have also seen industries flourish from the ground up, resulting in a new wave of entrepreneurs and people finally looking out for themselves. Don't forget to mention the current curriculum is dying as they aren't teaching what is hot like "How to Tik-Tok" or "OnlyFans 101." Even though it may be frowned upon, we're all adults and need to be faced with the truth behind reality whether it sucks or not.

Either way, it's nice to see crypto have a resurgence in the past months as an alternative to traditional finance and business. My dad, a blue-collar worker that will rely on his retirement is FINALLY reaching back out to explore investment opportunities in Bitcoin...

What are you hoping to get out of this 'Great Reset?' Are you adapting? Because at this point, whether the industry, it is evolving to something similar to The Hunger Games or even the survival of the fittest.

Don't forget to smash that poll button with your vote because it's important to me and it's provocative; it gets the people going!!!

For long, Bitcoin has been touted as the "store of value" of the crypto/Blockchain space with its limited supply of 21 million coins. Based on estimates, all Bitcoin will be mined by 2100. Now, what if developers decide to increase that hard cap in supply? If at that point in time, Bitcoin's prices stay just the way they are right now (less than $1m), it may become unprofitable for miners to continue supporting the Blockchain. With no block reward, they'll be living off fees. If prices are too low, earned fees won't be able to sustain miner's operations. By then, developers would need to raise the limit of 21 million coins to a higher value, re-introducing a block reward in order to attract miners into the Blockchain. Otherwise, the security of the Bitcoin blockchain will be at risk.

Do you think that the need to increase BTC's max supply will arise in the future? Or will Bitcoin be able to "live" just fine with a max supply of 21 million coins? Your input will be greatly appreciated.
