Hi there,

I am fairly new here too. You may even know more than me. However, I did some research and I am find that Bitcoin doesn’t use “characters” for coins. Values are just numbers in satoshis (1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats). Wallets display decimals for convenience.

When it comes to splitting, Bitcoin uses the UTXO model (like banknotes). If you spend 1 BTC to send 0.2 BTC, the old “note” is destroyed and two new ones appear: 0.2 BTC to your friend and ~0.8 BTC back to you as change.

As for reconnecting, you can combine multiple UTXOs you control by spending them all in one transaction and sending the total (minus fees) to yourself. That makes a new single UTXO.

Regarding multiple addresses, If they’re all in your wallet, no problem, the wallet pulls them together. If different owners hold them, they’d need to co-sign a transaction.

Bitcoin is a system of spendable chunks (UTXOs). You split them by making multiple outputs, and you reconnect them by using multiple inputs in one transaction.

I hope any of this information helos.

Hi there, welcome to the forum! It’s great that you’ve started learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I’ll try to answer your questions as simply as possible:

Why is Bitcoin called “digital gold”?
Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, which makes it scarce, just like gold. People also see it as a store of value over the long term, meaning they believe holding Bitcoin can help protect their wealth against inflation or currency devaluation.

Does Bitcoin go up and down automatically, or is it controlled?
Bitcoin is not controlled by any company, government, or person. Its price moves based on supply and demand. When more people want to buy than sell, the price goes up. When more want to sell than buy, it goes down. It’s completely open and driven by the market.

Should you hold Bitcoin for a short time or long term?

Long-term (“HODL”): Many people buy Bitcoin and hold it for years, believing its value will increase as adoption grows.

Short-term trading: Some try to profit from small price movements, but this is risky and requires experience.
As a beginner, it’s usually safer to learn first before making big investments.

What should you do as a beginner?

Start by learning as much as possible: blockchain basics, how Bitcoin works, and how wallets work.

Explore this forum, ask questions, and read discussions.

If you decide to invest, start small — only invest what you can afford to lose.

Focus on security: use a trusted wallet, enable 2FA, and never share your private keys or seed phrase.

Final tip: Don’t rush. Knowledge first, investment second. The more you understand, the safer and smarter your decisions will be.

This is an important question, and one that hits close to the core of what decentralization was always meant to address: power concentration.

You're absolutely right, we saw the same thing with banks, then exchanges, and now it's AI. Right now, the vast majority of large-scale AI models (like GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) are hosted, trained, and controlled by a handful of corporations. That means access, privacy, cost, and even the values that govern these systems are centralized by default.

The promise of decentralized AI, like what DecentralGPT is aiming for, flips that on its head. It’s not just about running models across distributed systems, it’s about democratizing who gets to train, access, and benefit from the technology.

If done right, decentralized AI could:

Lower costs by pooling global compute and removing gatekeepers

Increase privacy by letting users run or query models locally or peer-to-peer

Build trust via transparent training data and governance

Resist censorship in politically or commercially sensitive use cases

But it’s not without trade-offs. Latency, model quality, incentives for node operators, and protection against misuse are real challenges that still need solving.

Still, if decentralization changed how we bank and how we trade value, why not how we think?

Would love to hear if anyone here is actively building or exploring in this space. There’s massive potential if the right community rallies around it.

Absolutely love the curiosity around UBI and crypto. It’s a conversation that keeps gaining traction as both technology and economic inequality evolve side-by-side.

There are actually a few projects that have attempted crypto-based UBI models, GoodDollar, Proof of Humanity + UBI token, Circles UBI, etc. Each has its own mechanism, whether it’s based on identity verification, staking, or inflationary issuance. That said, adoption and sustainability have been major hurdles so far.

The idea of “earning crypto by doing nothing” sounds like free money, but in reality, the challenge lies in making it economically viable and resistant to abuse. You need solid tokenomics, anti-sybil protections (to stop people from gaming the system), and ideally some value loop that keeps the ecosystem afloat.

As for governments adopting it — they’re likely to be the last movers. We’ll probably see grassroots, decentralized implementations or even DAOs trying this before national governments do. But long term? If automation continues to replace jobs, UBI (crypto or fiat) might become a necessity rather than an experiment.

Curious if anyone here is working on something similar? Or if there's appetite for a fresh take on UBI in the web3 space?

Ah, you're right. I just realized that link won’t work for others if I post it, because it is for the logged in account. Sorry about that.

To clear the topic from your “unread” list:
1. Open the topic
2. Scroll to the very bottom
3. Click **“Mark Unread”**, then immediately click **“Mark Read”** — this refreshes your unread queue.

Or you can use the global option: go to your profile, click **“Show unread posts since last visit”**, scroll to the bottom, and hit **“Mark all messages as read.”**

Hope that helps!

You’re not alone — this happens when you “unwatch” a topic but your browser/session still has it flagged as active due to recent views or replies.

Here’s how to fully remove it from Unread Posts... Go to: https://bitcointalk.org/unread.php

Click the "Mark All Messages as Read" link (bottom right)

Confirm on the next page

This will clear all unread topics, including the one you unwatched.

Note: This is a global reset — so you’ll lose all other unread markers, too. Unfortunately, Bitcointalk doesn’t allow selective unread clearing.

If you want to prevent this from happening again:

Don’t click into a thread unless you really want to follow it

Use "Ignore" boards or threads via your profile if needed

Let me know if that worked for you!
