1122  Other / Archival / Re: The beginning of the end of traditional payment processors? on: November 10, 2021, 04:19:21 AM
I had a serious question from an economics student in my country, and he was intrigued by the news that El Salvador had adopted Bitcoin.

He said: Would it be enough with the current available supply, if all countries adopted Bitcoin as a legal payment like El Salvador did? if enough what is the reason?

As someone who has limited knowledge, of course, I can't answer it scientifically with strong references. So dealing with this exact topic would be invaluable for me to gain enlightenment from those of you who understand more than what I know.

thanks ...
Regarding Bitcoin offers, it will be enough for all countries that want to use Bitcoin as a means of payment in the future. It should be borne in mind that each bitcoin contains one hundred million satoshi. The high price of bitcoin will allow you to pay with a certain amount of satosh.
The fact that El Salvador accepted bitcoin as a national means of payment, and even taking into account the fact that Bangladesh is already considering such an opportunity in its country, does not mean the beginning of the end to traditional payment systems. We see that weak backward states, where there was not even a national currency, are interested in bitcoin. The developed countries will not agree to this.
1123  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I think Ethereum is more dynamic than bitcoin on: November 10, 2021, 02:44:52 AM
Of course Ethereum is more dynamic than Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't have really big features and it is not cared very much in terms of development. But it is not the same for Ethereum. The developers are always working on new updates. Ethereum 2.0 is really promising. As long as Ethereum keeps being updated, it can even dethrone Bitcoin after some point. Bitcoin is just enjoying its spot for now.

Not really, Lighting network are the proof that Bitcoin really can adapt and makes very cheap transaction fee while Ethereum developers only still promises about it.
Also, theres so many development on Bitcoin, check on its github https://github.com/bitcoin
Using the Lighting Network for Bitcoin transactions is quite difficult for ordinary people to understand. Therefore, it is not widely used. In addition, Lighting was created for the application of small transactions and cannot cover all participants in this market if desired. Therefore, Lighting is not yet a solution to the problem of high fees for Bitcoin transactions.
We can say that ethereum has a similar problem. But we know that the ethereum network has been updated for almost a year, and this is being done systematically and so far, on the whole, successfully. After its update, this coin will compare favorably with Bitcoin.
1124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to store your keys? on: November 09, 2021, 05:52:05 PM
Crypto investors are turning to Military grade vaults to safeguard their Keys. While some prefer to know the Keys by heart, some have their crypto stash in physical dedicated crypto wallets like Trezor and pay big money to have them stored in Nuclear sheltered safe vaults. Take for instance Swiss Crypto Vault who offers Nuclear sheltered vaults to crypto investors. if you had 2000 bitcoins what options would you pick?


Any special storage facilities will only cause criminals of all stripes to want to rob such storage facilities. There is hardly a vault now that cannot be hacked, given that the people who guard it can be bought or intimidated.
 I would also not store my wallet private keys on devices connected to the Internet. Any human-made program can be cracked by another program.
I only keep my keys printed on paper. This is one of the most reliable ways to store keys from wallets, however, provided that this printout is also safely hidden. But it is much easier to hide a piece of paper with numbers and symbols than in another form.
1125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin ever get regulated on: November 09, 2021, 05:24:02 PM
Regularly new information regarding adoption and regulation of bitcoin by different countries of the world is happening. Recently El Salvador made a strong decision against opposition. Now they've made a good return out of the Bitcoin. Government have come up with plans of constructing schools and hospitals with the profit.

Now another country Zimbabwe is with the plans of regulating cryptocurrency and accept it as legal tender. This being a small country there is more good to happen on adoption. As of now nothing officially declared from Zimbabwe government, they're on consulting stage. Soon we can see a country getting added to the list.
About Zimbabwe, as far as I remember, they talked earlier only about the fact that cryptocurrency was prohibited in this state. Do they want to move from a direct prohibition to the recognition of bitcoin as a means of payment? Not bad. This means that states may still be able to change their position on cryptocurrencies in the direction of mitigation.
As for the regulation of bitcoin, only the order and conditions of its circulation in society can be regulated by states. Internal regulation is beyond the powers of states.
1126  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Doesn't it teach, BTC Price will never go down if we won't force it to go down? on: November 08, 2021, 02:33:19 PM
In the cryptocurrency market, as in any other market, its participants cannot agree to act in one direction, for example, not to sell cryptocurrency and thus create conditions for its further price growth. Here, everyone takes care of their profits and will take actions that they deem necessary to increase it. And it is hardly possible to implement such an idea in practice.
1127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin(Cryptocurrencies) is a social movement? on: November 08, 2021, 02:13:32 PM
Do you consider Bitcoin(or cryptocurrencies) in general a social movement? If you consider so, social movements need a formal organization to support the movement. Is there a formal organization behind Bitcoin?
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can be considered a social movement, since cryptocurrency originated in society and the state and their governments had nothing to do with it. Thanks to the Internet, everyone has the opportunity to join this movement. Working with cryptocurrency, people get to know each other, unite in interest groups, and I don't see the need to create any additional organization to support the cryptocurrency.
1128  Economy / Economics / Re: 6 billion to solve world hunger? on: November 08, 2021, 01:50:36 PM
Based on this article [1] there're 811 million people worldwide still lack of food, so 6 billion/811 million is $7,39. I don't think with such amount will solve world hunger or even Musk give more money, still it doesn't resolve the cause of world hunger. Lack of skills, poor money management, bad income distribution or lazy are the cause of world hunger. Teach a man to fish, rather than give fish.


[1] https://www.actionagainsthunger.org/world-hunger-facts-statistics
People have starved on Earth at all times and no one has ever been able to finally solve this problem. Now, due to climate change, various natural disasters and man-made disasters have become more frequent. This means that the number of people who will be annoying will increase. Elon Musk can feed the hungry several times with six billion dollars, but all the same, the problem will not be solved.
1129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banking system and BTC on: November 07, 2021, 06:07:05 PM
I believe the decentralized voluntary economy surrounded by bitcoin will make career-seeking bankers fail in the next 10 years.  A new cycle is revolving around problems arising from the main loopholes of banks and governments.  The increasing rate of hyperinflation due to additional problems has created a serious degree of broken links.  Who will be satisfied with banks today?  no and it is clearly used to demonstrate the value and growth of bitcoin.
Many do not take into account that the banking system is part of the state system of government. As long as the states exist, they will defend their banking system by legal methods and methods of direct coercion. However, it can change and improve, and the states themselves are interested in this.
Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, including in connection with this, cannot harm banks. Cryptocurrency should learn to coexist with banks and their fiat.
1130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to see Bitcoin legal in your country? on: November 07, 2021, 05:49:11 PM
Bitcoin is legal in most countries, but it is legal as a "commodity" and not legal tender. The reason for this is simple, because the governments of the world are protecting their monopoly on printing fiat currencies. They do not want any "private" currency to replace the fiat currency that they control.

We need to understand that the world economy is artificially kept alive, through the manipulation of local currencies ... the Reserve Banks determine the supply of currencies and they manipulate the value of those currencies.  Roll Eyes  Why will they allow a competitor that are not controlled by them?
Yes, these arguments are correct. States are unwilling to recognize cryptocurrency as legal tender. Therefore, in most cases, it is recognized as a commodity. However, any legalization of cryptocurrency is still better than being in the gray zone. Legalization means determining the legal status and establishing the rules for the circulation of cryptocurrency in society. Creation of infrastructure for such walking is possible only after its legalization.
1131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Privacy vs. anonymity on: November 07, 2021, 05:33:25 PM
People criticize centralized exchanges (including me) but yet they use banks LOL. Do you see the irony?
Sometimes we have to compromise. I have a job which pays in fiat. I need that job to pay my mortgage and support my family. That job will not pay me in bitcoin nor in cash, and so I must have a bank account in order to live. If I could self host my own wallet and be paid directly in to it without any third parties as I can with bitcoin, then believe me I would. I have a mortgage, I have insurance, I have utility bills, etc., as does everyone. It is impossible to operate within modern society anonymously. If you want to be completely anonymous, then you have to go live in the woods and scavenge or grow your own food. A bank account is a necessary evil for working within the fiat system. If we ever reach a stage where I can be paid and pay all my bills from my own bitcoin wallet, then I'll be the first one to wave goodbye to my fiat bank.
Therefore, in cryptocurrency, we can count on a certain confidentiality of the individual, since this is a basic right of every person. However, with an increase in the level of regulation of the circulation of cryptocurrency in society, our anonymity will continue to fall and I do not know what will remain of it in the end. States in general are against cryptocurrency anonymity. Where cryptocurrency comes into contact with fiat, states will establish such rules so that there is no anonymity at all.
1132  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Regulations for crypto currencies on: November 06, 2021, 08:49:52 PM
As we know that the advantage of cryptocurrencies is that it is decentralized, meaning that it is not centralized or there is no third party intervention. but if cryptocurrencies have been legalized by a government, it is clear that regulations will be enforced, although they cannot change the nature of decentralization itself but other regulations such as being taxed may be applied.
The main factor that will be explored by the government is the tax problem. because this is state revenue to support the development of a nation. somehow the form later, of course this regulation must benefit the state, and of course a clear regulation is needed. it seems that this will be easier, because the government can see every transaction even if it is a small amount
If the goal is just for tax revenue, maybe it's not too worrying.  But if I pay attention, it seems that there are some countries that are too excessive in implementing regulations for crypto.  Will it not affect crypto in general?  What do you think about that?
The regulation of cryptocurrencies by states is inevitable. Cryptocurrency and participants in this market either need to agree to regulation, or not rely on the legal circulation of cryptocurrency in society. It is unlikely that states are able to change the principle of decentralization in cryptocurrency. So far, legalization consists in determining the legal status of cryptocurrency and establishing the order and conditions for its circulation in society. But when determining the order and conditions of its circulation, the states will try to reduce the decentralized foundations of the cryptocurrency and especially to reduce its anonymity. However, another way for crypto distribution
1133  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook Diem on the run for launch on: November 06, 2021, 08:14:12 PM
Banks won't allow that to happen. After all, banks consider Facebook's digital currency as a threat to their very existence.

That was my first thought, too. But then I remembered that exactly the same discussion took place a few years ago when it came to the integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay. Why should banks do that, it would jeopardize their own business model and cost returns? That was the statement of many at the time. Today, almost every bank has integrated Apple and Google payment options because they had to bow to pressure from customers and the market. It could be the same with Diem, if there is enough acceptance and demand among people.
Zuckerberg is not primarily concerned with banks. Banks are most worried about their profits. Zuckerberg should be wary of states and their regulators. Yes, he himself already knows this, but he constantly repeats the same mistakes. Governments fear the concentration of significant confidential information about the several billion Facebook members in private hands, and even more so if such information is combined with information about their financial transactions. Therefore, I do not think that Zuckerberg will succeed this time either.
Certain senators of the US Congress have already written to Zuckerberg to curtail the circulation of the Novi wallet, and in fact it does not even have his stablecoin Diem in it yet.
1134  Economy / Economics / Re: Why criminals prefer cash (Fiat) on top of crypto? on: November 06, 2021, 07:30:45 PM
Most criminals do not understand cryptocurrencies so they prefer cash, this is what makes me optimistic that no financial crimes are deposited into crypto, so the negative issue about crypto being used for illegal transactions is the issue of haters who do not like the development of cryptocurrencies.
In addition to this argument, attention should be paid to the fact that the process of legalization of cryptocurrency is still ongoing in the world and this process will continue for a long time. This means that states and their governments are constantly changing the conditions for the circulation of cryptocurrencies and such rules are becoming more stringent and require a further process of personal identification in transactions with cryptocurrencies. Criminals fear that during operations with cryptocurrency, at a certain stage, they will need to confirm their identity. And usually, the movement of criminal amounts of cryptocurrencies is monitored by law enforcement agencies and therefore it will be very easy for criminals to lose money obtained by criminal means. Therefore, they prefer not to take risks.
1135  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin adoption by banks - good or bad? on: November 05, 2021, 09:06:51 AM
Bitcoin adoption by banks has a positive and negative effect to all of us that used bitcoin. It's good if bitcoin is regulated because it will help to increase bitcoin awareness and trust but on the other hand the decentralization of bitcoin will be lessen.
It doesn't affect the decentralization of Bitcoin if banks want to buy Bitcoin since we are always our own bank if you have the private keys with you then they have nothing to do with your BTC. I think it's not bad if there's an adoption of Bitcoin to most banks, it's just that not every banks would do the same but as far as the time goes by they will eventually adopt to Bitcoin.

It will help us all in the Bitcoin community since we all needed the adoption as much as we want in order to expand the knowledge of having a crypto especially in Bitcoin. Exchanges doing it somehow makes the other banks aware of the existence of Bitcoin so it's a good thing.
This is good in any case, since it will help increase people's confidence in cryptocurrency if the banking system uses cryptocurrency at least for converting to fiat and vice versa. This will be evidence that governments are serious about cryptocurrency and that this is not a scam or a pyramid scheme, as banks previously argued.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency needs to occupy its own niche in the global financial system and it does not make sense for it to conflict with financial structures and fiat. It will be much better if cryptocurrency and fiat work together.
1136  Economy / Economics / Re: CBDCs are not cryptocurrencies on: November 05, 2021, 08:48:54 AM
I still understand it this way, CBDC helps the transaction speed, the cost is optimized. The stages of third-party intermediaries are completely reduced, and at the same time, the transaction process is also faster and more convenient. Contributing to the promotion of national economic interests by transactions are done quickly, procurement activities are expanded, and cash flow is more developed. System recovery and security are enhanced by the outstanding features of distributed digital currency. Effectively apply each country's monetary flow policies, with tighter controls on transactions. And recently this term has appeared in popularity, when major countries claim to study CBDC, but those theories need time to be tested because I have not seen any real cases.
Yes, CBDCs will work much more efficiently compared to conventional non-cash payments of states, so they will soon appear in large quantities anyway. But finance doesn't like rushing. Therefore, we are not yet seeing the emergence of central bank stablecoins to see how they will work in practice. The digitized currencies of states, of course, cannot be classified as cryptocurrencies, although they will mainly use blockchain technology and even cryptocurrency platforms such as ethereum.
1137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banking system and BTC on: November 03, 2021, 11:14:06 AM
Hello traders. What's your opinion could BTC kill banking system? Bitcoin has an advantage over fiatbecause its amount is limited and it can't fall under inflation.Inflation usually is caused by monetary policies of our central banks. Bitcoin is free from inflation, governement control and  high transaction fees.Banks can’t control BTC because it has no representative and is fully decentralized. That's why banks are afraid of BTC.
How can Bitcoin kill the banking system? He is simply not capable of this. For it to be used as a national means of payment, a decision of the state, that is, the highest officials and the legislative body of the country, is needed, as happened in El Salvador. By the way, it is very interesting in what state the banking system is there? I don't think the banks in El Salvador are dead, as they carry out many useful functions, especially for the state.
The fact that bitcoin has a limited supply for supply is indifferent to the states, and inflation plays both a negative role for fiat and a positive one.
States really cannot control bitcoin, so they will use blockchain technology and issue their own digitalized currencies.
1138  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why I think Facebook meta may fail on: November 02, 2021, 03:52:37 PM
I don't think it will fail, have you watched the advert? If people ends up finding a new home and new experience using metaverse it will be successful at all costs lol, just because Mark owns Facebook doesn't mean he wants to rule the world, you talked about BTC isn't that a human creation too? Every projects always have a creator
If the Zuckerberg project combined games, other entertainment programs, social networks that did not require the provision of their confidential data, there would be no problems here. However, here Zuckerberg wants to combine almost all information about the participants in his project, including financial information. Such pooled information in private hands about several billion people could be used against them, which is why many states and their regulators were vehemently opposed to it, when Zuckerberg wanted to merge Facebook and his stablecoin Libra, the same fate awaits the Meta project.
1139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will cat coins 1000x next? on: November 02, 2021, 03:22:00 PM
Cat coins can give 1000x only if Elon Musk tweets that he is not a cat lower. But, since he is more like a dog guy - that will never happen. Or take a look on a market. It is full of monkey, bear, snake, bull, bear and other animals related altcoin, and non of if had its price grown multiple times. Only coins with different dog breed names grow or being pumped. And since all this animal altcoin mania slowly loses trends, there is no chance cat coin price grows.
The current popularity of cryptocurrencies with all these animal and beast names is temporary. It will take some time and almost all of them will either leave the market or fall significantly in price. Only those who will be at least something useful in this market will remain. The current excitement with rising prices at this point is not a normal process. This is indicative of the immaturity of this market so far. Many holders of these coins will suffer large losses in the future. Therefore, it is better not to get carried away with them.
1140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum is going to reach $5k soon? on: November 02, 2021, 02:53:42 PM
We still can't say for sure if Ethereum will hit $5K over the coming week as the market hasn't really stabilized in my opinion. This November we'll see if it still holds on to today's price or this week it can hold on to the price of $4.5K?
Then we have to monitor how Bitcoin is moving, if Bitcoin's movement is good, then I'm sure that Ethereum will continue its good trend as well.
This week the Ethereum price is still running at $4.3K and it's also not too far away for $4.5 to $5K because the general market conditions this week are also not so bad but for the end of the year I'm also still very confident that the market will improve with some changes in it.
I now see the ethereum price on CoinMarketCap at $ 4479. Compared to yesterday, this coin has added over a hundred dollars. Even compared to the price of Bitcoin, which has a price tag of $ 63,389, that's pretty good. I think that by the end of the year ethereum may reach even higher prices than $ 5,000. The main thing is that the Ethereum 2.0 update is carried out successfully and without significant disruptions.
