hat’s why Bitcoin system is not a payment system. And now, a fan fact. Not only that Nakamoto’s tokens cannot provide utility to their holders. But the holders cannot even show the tokens. All that they can show are numbers in their wallets that represent the amount of the tokens.

I have been doing freelancing gigs lately. Guess how people pay me? Through crypto [highlighted to help out edgycorner.. you can thank me later.]Smiley

Paypal has a 10% fee in my country, international bank transfer takes weeks, other payment methods are equally incompetent or riddled with unnecessary fees.
But bitcoins and crypto [highlighted to help out edgycorner.. you can thank me later.]? I get paid instantly, I can convert it to FIAT whenever need be or hodl or convert it into something more stable  Tongue

Your arguments are flawed and outdated.

Fuck shitcoins.. we are not talking about shitcoins in this thread.
Bitcoin ain't shitcoin tho.

Do I need to highlight what you wrote?  [ok.. I did. you can thank me later.]

and  Huh ? FYI: Bitcoin is a crypto

Why would someone go with you, when Stripe offers the same service with more transparency and trust?

Stripe Atlas have big price, and only opens in Delaware, and there is no guarantee that it will be opened to you without refusing service

Only in Delaware because that's where anyone should open a corp(or maybe in WY).

And stripe charges 0, they only charge money if they are able to open your corp.
If you are offering a better price, then you should mention the price in your post.

Damn, the date is set for 19th September. My prediction for August turned out to be wrong  Cry

I hope no one followed my pred with their money lol
If you did, sorry man  Lips sealed

read the link
the sept 19 is a guideline not a set date.

you can turnoff the gaslight😀
yea, but august not happening in any way.
MSF10 is next week along with the release of Goerli merge. So yea, if we witness a successful subsequent MSFs and Goerlie merge by the first week of August then I am very confident that mainnet will merge in Sept 100%

wowsie, glad that my savings are locked in a Singaporean bank. Because I am estimating a crash of banks in my country as well or a similar indirect tax from the government(we can call this a kind of tax, right?)  Cry

It sucks how any kind of economic crash is burdened by the proletariats in a capitalist state. While the elites secure their position at the expense of those below them(just like the Titanic sink).

209  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you look down on Bushy or undeveloped areas? on: July 17, 2022, 11:55:57 PM
This question can't be answered with a yes/no

It would depend on a lot of factors. In general, buying undeveloped land can be a good idea if the buyer has a specific use for the land in mind and is willing and able to develop it themselves. However, buying undeveloped land can also be a risky investment, as the value of the land may not increase as much as the buyer expects and the development process can be expensive and time-consuming. As the development process can take a long time.

Maybe it's coming, maybe it's not.
It would be fair to say there's a 50% chance. If Feds are able to stabilize inflation and control demand then we might land safely.
Macro-economics is more uncertain, unpredictable, and indecipherable than quantum physics. An economist will keep on crunching numbers and analyzing, but he can never be 100% certain  Tongue

But yea, if the crash does come it will be the worst one yet.

212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Age of bitcoiners on: July 17, 2022, 11:41:06 PM
I would come in the age group 16-21 in that first poll, and now it's 22-24. I am sure there are a lot more zoomers in the cryptosphere now than before. But they don't use bitcointalk. For them, it's reddit,discord and 4chan.

Unlike before, when most of the neophytes would register on bitcointalk as well. Maybe because due to the hierarchy here based on how old(older=more post &activity=higher rank) your account is. So newbies don't really feel like staying  Huh
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi's faceless identity is the greatest Bitcoin success strategy on: July 17, 2022, 11:27:23 PM
Just like how Daft Punk wouldn't show their face.

"We’re not performers, we’re not models – it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features,”

- one of the guy with helmet on

I like to believe that the idea of Satoshi is based on a similar principle.

For daft punk, it's about maintaining their creative freedom.
For Satoshi, it's about keeping Bitcoin without "one general" and thus making it truly free from any form of centralization.
214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to be a blockchain based developer ?? on: July 17, 2022, 11:15:45 PM
Here's a book written by Andreas and Gavin Wood that I would recommend for EVM-based blockchains(it talks in length about ETH specifically).
https://github.com/ethereumbook/ethereumbook/blob/develop/01what-is.asciidoc

It goes through the basics and will make you conceptually sound.
Good luck!

I don't trust 3rd party options.
Understandable.
In that case, you can use my simple bot which is built on python: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5146905

The code is very easy to read(even if you don't know python). It does its intended work except for one drawback: It may repeat the notification a couple of times. This can be easily fixed if you know python.
I may update it later this week.

It requires very little resource to run(if your machine can run python and is connected to the internet then it will work). If you have any useless raspberry pi lying around, or you can run it in the background 24x7 on your android phone with termux.

Can this work with Phone?

If your phone runs on Android, then yes.

Install termux, install required python packages(as mentioned in my post), enable wake lock on termux to keep it running in background.

I will update the script later this week to make it more efficient(when I get some free time) and post a tutorial on how to run it on android 24x7.

ETH and stake it.

But if you are taking out a loan to do it, then STOP!  Buying crypto on loans always ends in tragedy.
Investing in crypto is always a gamble!

You will regret it later on. Pay heed to my advice and save yourself from inevitable destruction if you follow this path.
instead, take out a loan for college and study CS. Given your age, this is the only good investment for you and nothing else. Trust me. Good luck!
219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fork? on: July 17, 2022, 08:04:47 PM
Every week there's a new topic about quantum computing and cryptography. I won't be surprised if mods stick a post explaining how there's still a decade before the general populace have to worry about it lol

And I don't think you should take anything suggested by NSIT seriously(Especially a new algo, definitely got a backdoor lol)

220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countries have banned Bitcoin; Do you believe is because of criminal activities on: July 17, 2022, 07:58:08 PM
No, it is not banned because of criminal activities; this is just a convenient excuse with traction because it sounds good.  Truth is, most criminal, illicit activities are carried out in fiat, but do you see this rush to ban fiat?  This ban is all about power and control over people.
But fiat is traceable and can be tracked.

Whereas cryptos are very anonymous to an extent. And if someone uses privacy coins like Monero, then it's almost impossible. IRS is paying like a million to blockchain analyst firms to help them crack monero but they will fail  Smiley
https://modernconsensus.com/regulation/irs-bets-1m-monero-transactions-are-traceable/

This is why governments want to ban crypto.(and also all the ICO scams)
