Yes, higher security almost always comes with more risk of permanent loss, since one of the ways to increase your security and reduce risk of other people accessing your Private key/password is to remove ways to recover your own key/password.

Now can you find the perfect balance between being careful/caring about your funds security and also keeping accessing your funds relatively easy with minimum risk of loss? Yes.

That is specially true when you have only one way to access your wallet or funds, whether it's password or private key/seed phrase, people are usually afraid of writing down their passwords, but if you don't write it down and stick to just memorizing it you have to accept you are risking a lot, specially if we're talking about someone's life saving.

What if something happens to you or just your brain? after all at the very least your family members should have a chance to recover your funds and it's much better if it's written down somewhere that is fairly accessible to them.

Depends, what do you mean by "real life"?, do you mean when you go out and make purchases from physical stores?, in that case you might need debit cards but KYC in a must in that case.

But if the item/s that you intend to buy is/are available on Amazon, using websites like Bitrefill you are able to just buy Amazon gift cards using crypto, then add the gift card to your amazon account balance and after adding your address receive the item at your address, It's not even only Amazon either, if You live in the US you could even similarly buy DoorDash gift card and buy groceries, same with Uber Eats, obviously how many options you will have will heavily depends on your region.

So basically using crypto at least indirectly as a form of payment for every day use is not that much of a problem these days really, and that's with doing no KYC process to complete a purchase.

What is your suggestion to go about doing that?

The issue is that any approach to restrict the use of AI (even only in images and videos) will be short-lived and the platforms know that, people will want to use AI(mostly for fun) these days, and if your platform somehow manages to detect AI content and ban or suspend accounts based on that there's just a very good chance people will switch to another platform that allows AI usage.

The thing you realistically can expect from platforms is for them to have a certain note/flag under every single image and video generated/modified using AI, I assume that AI should have at least >%95 detection accuracy rate on whether a content is AI generated or not, so that should solve most of the problems regarding misuse of AI rather easily.

Twitter(x) is full of AI generated content these days, both in the main tweets and the replies under it, and what I have seen more often than not was whenever questionable content was posted there was someone tagging Grok in the replies asking whether the content is original/unedited and Grok has really good accuracy there, so most other well funded platforms should be able to do the same.

Dollar is not fake money...

A lot of arguments can be made about its value and to criticize how it is being managed by the government, but to be saying it's fake which would imply it has zero or little value is disingenuous at best.

With incorrect arguments like that you are disregarding the process in which money printing happens and what it gives that money/currency value, the main factor that gives a legal tender issued national currency of a country is its economy and how strong or weak it is, it is absolutely NOT backed by nothing.

Surely there will be a lot of printings and debts with national currencies, but even how much that debt/printing will affect the value of the currency will be mostly dictated by how strong the economy is at the moment to be able to absorb such a negative hit, for instance in a very strong booming economy you could have some good amount of debts and printings and still keep how much a dollar can buy groceries fairly stable.

By Cybersecurity do you mean AI-driven cybersecurity? I'm guessing yes.

Asking Because cybersecurity has been around since internet was a thing and it's not a fresh thing to go after I would say, now if you combine the power of AI and try to make cybersecurity faster, more efficient and more accurate, then that's something interesting.

The difference between AI and AI-driven cybersecurity and which one will be more useful for you personally in the future will depend on a lot of factors and your personal interests, but considering almost every person these days is going in on learning AI without bothering themselves with the details and is just trying to learn just the basics on anything involving AI, I would totally recommend Cybersecurity as long as it aligns with your personal interests, you can bet the demand for such a skill will be much higher than someone that just knows some stuff about AI.

Not sure what do you mean here?, you said it yourself, someone kept pushing for government intervention to buy and bail out BTC and secretary of the US treasury said NO, that should close the conversation, why is that an issue?

I'm pretty sure the big majority of the reasonable people of crypto community would agree with that decision as well...


Again not sure how did you come out to that conclusion, government has some BTC and other top marketcap coins in its holdings which were mostly seized assets , but 200,000 Bitcoin is not nearly enough to be able to control anything really, unless you mean the price?, in that case sure, they can decide to dump it all at the market price and create a short-term bear.

For instance Microstrategy currently holds >700,000 BTC, it there ever was a concern to be had, it makes more sense to be towards Microstrategy, wouldn't you say?

Lazarus group is out there providing a good portion of funds for North Korean military.

NK military budget for 2025 is estimated to be around 5-10 Billion in USD, so even if we just count the one crypto hack that was %100 confirmed to be linked to Lazarus group in 2025 which was Bybit 1.5 billion USD hack and exclude this MacOS malware attack, North Korea managed to have covered %15-%30(depending on whether we go for the low or high estimate) of their military budget using Lazarus group.

Easiest way to avoid being hacked and stay >99.99% safe? Do not use the device that you use for Crypto for any other stuff and try to keep it as much offline as possible, specially do not use it for browsing web and even more specially don't use it for social media/telegram/discord.

P.S. There are no official numbers on exact military budget of NK for obvious reasons, so the estimate number provided above is based on available data provided by analysts and estimated budget of previous years.

Not a bad topic to talk about really, we(at least most people) are definitely moving towards a more brain lazy era, I mean we are currently in it already, but it can and will get a lot worse with time.

With automation of almost any job out there people are really giving their brain a good rest for most of the day as solving complexity is not an issue anymore, even before AI being a popular thing we were not doing great in that regard.

And as how your recommendations goes, those might help a bit but we are definitely not going back to the old times in that regard and you should expect some percentage of people to become dumber(at least in some aspects) specially as generations of people change, we can only hope we can reduce that percentage a bit by putting some (however small) restrictions on use of AI and automation for work.

Isn't that how most projects launch?

Not that many of them wait for a completely finished product to launch anyway.

Needless to say that no mater how good the finished product ends up being, there will be a lot of critics and most importantly bugs that will be found by users once it hits the public or alpha/beta/test stage.

Unless your product is just not usable in any measurable degree in its incomplete form there's nothing wrong with improving and adding stuff after the product has launched.

Maybe in the future, but in its current form? not even close to being independent, if someone says otherwise it means either they haven't used AI for a long enough time or for complicated enough tasks that it shows its dependency on humans and its weaknesses.

Let's say you have a fairly complicated daily desk job and you try to do it fully using AI, if you don't try modifying and editing the end result of every day's work done by the AI you will have a lot of explaining to do to whoever or whatever company you are working for, as there will be a lot of incomplete data, analysis and sometimes even irrelevant data.

Basically AI in its current stage needs a human supervision to be usable when it comes to any serious work, and not even any human would be enough, a person in charge of overseeing the work of AI should know the job perfectly and be able to do at least most of the job alone by him/her self with no AI assisting them, so that they can recognize and remove bad data, but if you can find a person that meets the criteria and equip them with a proper AI to help them to do their job better, then you can almost certainly expect a way better and quicker execution of that particular work.

The form of money is not the main case of economy collapse in different countries.

That being said there are parts that can cause problem with using fiat, though indirectly, like probably the main issue that will lead to economic issues and devaluing currency down the line is lack of any, or at least proper transparency.

When you have a whole country of people that are holding this national currency and their whole lifeline is depending on it, but the supply and how often more of it gets printed is unclear, and that data is either not publicly available or can be potentially tampered with, it will cause major issues with its value sustainability, the second part of this transparency issue is regarding to the amount of debt a country currently has which again adds to the doubt surrounding trust issue that people have holding a national currency.

But even if all the data on the amount of debt and printing is totally public and people can look it up, people still will have their doubts since debts do exist and so do the printings, and whether the data is publicly available or not, printing and debt is bad and will damage economy in the long run, hence why crypto can partly help with that with it's limited maximum supply and its on-chain transparency including both circulating supply and daily transactions which people can validate themselves.

I wouldn't call it bad design, you could say it's inconvenient, but that's a small price to pay for what is almost maximum security.

I believe most people that don't write their seed phrase down and stick to saving it to notes on PC/phone are just doing it because:
1.It's a burner wallet and will not hold enough funds for them to care
or 2.They willingly choose convenience over security/safety

In both cases it's a user fault at the end and honestly I can not see how Crypto can improve much about that, I mean how do you even compete(safety wise) with Seedphrase/privatekey written on a piece of physical paper?

This title of this thread and whatever written by OP is the very definition of disinformation.

There's no such a thing as a high accuracy indicator or strategy for a bot to use to trade and consistently be in profit and be making whatever amount per day, week or month, period.

There are some trading bots out there trading which could use a decent strategy that often makes their users some money, but 'often' is the keyword there, it could as easily give you same amount of loss as well.

And most importantly if your trading bot is so consistently profitable why would you even sell it OP? Can't you just keep using it and make more and more profit and eventually increase your initial buy/sell/trade amount to increase your daily profit to $1,000 or more a day?

Post only about and in threads that you actually know about the subject or at least care about it, simple as that.

Writing 10 lines of texts about things that could simply be reduced to 1 line in which wouldn't even add really anything to the thread is not exactly a proper definition of a quality post, it's just a spam.

Additionally knowing what defines a shitpost/spam might help as well: >>> whatever that is written using AI, plagiarized content or clueless rants that don't even cover the subject of the topic fit right into that category.

Not sure I would call it a saying that inspires you necessarily, or even if it's a saying at all, it's more of a quote

But surely it's a saying to me that does some explaining whenever the world or how things work stops making sense.

"Hard times create strong men, Strong men create good times, Good times create weak men, Weak men create hard times" from the novel: Those Who Remain by G. Michael Hopf

Good days, the days people followed Yahoo finance for news instead of Twitter(X) and its one liners that are often bait and/or misleading, interestingly that Yahoo news page about Sudan's devaluing currency is still up.

I discovered Bitcoin first in 2017 and I used to be terminally online in years 2009-2010 and imagine my regret for not discovering anything about Bitcoin despite my interest in computer software and mostly hardware back in the day, though I'm guessing that's partly because I was not so fluent in English back then and I was mostly surfing around in websites that were in my own local language and they were not mentioning a single word about Bitcoin or Crypto.

It's probably better for the tools like that to not be shared here publicly as people will find a new way to shitpost and restructure their phrasing and such and stay more undetected, it's probably not that hard to find the these tools themselves anyway but if you are too lazy to change a single word in your message then chances are you probably can't make your AI generated answer in a way that stays undetected for long.

Not gonna tell you to not feel bad because at the moment you are going to feel bad and maybe horrible anyway, sooner or later.

But think of this way: this bad moment you are in right now would not matter at all 1 year from now, by around that time or very likely even sooner you could go months without thinking about this loss and that is just to tell you how much this one bad thing that happened to you or the mistake you just made in the grand scheme of things does not matter, or won't change your life in a very meaningful way.

Also if you managed to make that amount of money in the first place to be able to lose it, no matter how big of an amount you think it is, it means you definitely can make that amount of money again.

Give it some days and weeks and I'm hoping you're in a better shape mentally by then, wishing you the absolute best.

It might sound stupid but replacing bad habit with other less bad habits works faster and slowly you can turn it into a good habit in a more consistent way than just outright trying to replace it with a good more healthy habit.

At least for me personally that works best, whenever I try to remove or replace a bad habit with a healthy one and go cold turkey it usually just doesn't last more than a day or two and I just end up back on the train of bad habits, not sure what is the habit that you are currently trying to remove/replace right now but for instance in junk foods case people could start eating less and less junk food and replacing some of them with healthy ones here and there and gradually work their way up to a fully or mostly healthy diet.

Clout and engagement farming

We reaching a point in tech side of things and social media presence that people are pretty much hypnotized by social media and therefore their value as a person in their mind/world is dictated by the likes and followers they get in the digital realm.

So it makes sense that when even a negative event is happening their first instinct is to always pull out their phone and start snapping pictures or record a video, merely because they think of all the likes and engagements they are going to get from it, but I'm sure there are some smaller percentage of people which getting engagement is not the first thing that comes to their mind when such events happen so not denying that either.
