Did Satoshi really use this present forum we are using today? I heard he only used the SMF version of the forum

The software is substantially complete. The main period of development was a while ago; the current work is mainly just maintenance & relatively minor improvements. Try running it yourself and you'll find that it's working, fast, and nearly feature-complete.

The things blocking a transition from the current software to the new software are:
 - There hasn't been enough testing. I think that immediately after transition, a variety of small missed features, bugs, and performance issues would crop up. As a result, if the transition happened now (which is technically possible!), I'd expect the post-transition user experience to be poor for months while these things are fixed, which I don't want.
 - I am the only bitcointalk.org sysadmin and on-demand programmer, and I'm used to the current software. Furthermore, I need to frequently make changes to the current software, but each change I make might require alterations to Epochtalk, which is problematic.
 - The current PHP software, while ugly and sub-optimal in many ways, performs well, especially since I have extensively modified the backend to add features and improve performance. So I don't feel much urgency.
 - The data-transition procedure still has a few known minor bugs.
 
We continue to work on these issues. I think that ultimately I may need to hire one or more full-time people, since a big problem is that the full transition is likely to create a ton of work which I won't be able to effectively handle alone.

The software is not vaporware (it's long existed in a runnable state, and is currently basically feature-complete), and is not abandoned (look at the git commit log). If anyone is unhappy with the progress, I invite them to take the Epochtalk code and create a competing forum with it; since they won't have to worry about the transition issues, they'd have a much easier time, and their testing will also end up helping us.

In short: If you want the software quicker, go run your own forum with it, and work to get any problems or missing features you find resolved via bug reports, etc. This would increase public interest, provide much-needed testing, and I might even hire you to work on bitcointalk.org when we're ready to do the final transition here.

maybe the popular bitcointalk launch thread was moved by theymos to this forum. I might be wrong altogether

Binance's native blockchain token (BNB) experienced a dip in price after the SEC fiasco. The exchange is facing heavy pressure by the US government regulatory agency. If Binance wins a lawsuit against the SEC, BNB's price could go all the way to the moon in an instant.

But if it loses, BNB could experience new lows until it goes below the "triple digits".

I'm wondering if now is the good time to buy BNB or should I wait a little bit more? The crypto market is still bearish, so we should expect further pressure against an altcoin like BNB in the short term. Who knows if BNB will reach higher prices in the future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe he didn't get the latest news, the latest news is that Marcelo Brozovic agrees with a salary offer of 25 million per season and now to the medical test stage

Anyway, next month Brozovic is officially introduced in front of Al Naasr supporters there should be no more obstacles.

Barcelona is indeed interested in bringing Marcelo Brozovic but Barcelona is limited by financial problem so they don't continue the offer.

It's not surprising to see such a closer of service since the NFT market is becoming more competitive and with the recent increase in the price of most assets in the year 2023 with bitcoin taking the lead.

The state house of North Carolina just passed a bill to study the idea of the state holding Bitcoin (as well as Gold).

If this bill gets passed, and North Carolina does indeed start holding Bitcoin

I didn't expect market makers to fight back SEC the way they did when Blackrock announced that they have requested for Bitcoin ETF, on a normal day, the news wasn't supposed to make gains to bitcoin by $2k from any where the news was made public but I was more surprise they pushed Bitcoin price to over $30k

If we already understand every flow that is created in every pre-halving and post-halving, we will actually respond to every decrease and increase in everything in a normal manner. And this is where the importance of knowledge about market sentiment and market fundamentals so that we can remain calm in every market situation.

Then sorry to say, but such players who do not care about the growth of the casino but only care about the bonuses they hope to get from the casino are nothing but so selfish..

In as much as bonuses are still important to keep players playing, promotions, partnerships are still very important to increase the casinos popularity, reputation which will put the casino in a good position to win even more players over to the casino, the more there are several players playing and losing, the more there are much more bonuses available to distribute to qualified players.

Believe it or not, players do not really care about such partnership deal as it gives no good effect for players. Some players may even think that new partnership deals, new ambassador, etc will affect the bonus given to them. What players want are more bonuses/promotions that make players stay as long as possible and better experience in the casino, so Stake should also think about it because having partnership with popular brands/people will not make players stay.

I think that absolutely everyone knows that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should not be supervised by governments, banks, or control organizations, because this is what fiat money is for, bank records, the very large money movements that exist are not enough. ?

Injury is an increase in Lukaku's performance getting worse but actually as long as he is not injured it is also a little difficult for Lukaku's performance because indeed for several seasons after his good performance at Inter and Lukaku his performance worsened again at Chelsea.

The latest news seems to be that Inter will sell off several young players such as Samuele Mulattieri, Facundo Colidio, Darian Males, Martin Satriano, Sebastiano Esposito and Eddie Salcedo. for the plan to buy Lukaku because they think that Lukaku is suitable to partner Lautaro.

However,social media impacts has reached greater heights by the massive and increasing influence that it  has on digital currencies like bitcoin.
 The relationship between social media and bitcoin is expanding in exciting ways in terms of adoption,position,price/value and even the popularity

I think Barcelona is just hoping that Brozović is going to come to Barcelona, just because he will be able to play at the top level of the competition and also play in a respectable league (no offense to the Saudi league). And that is the reason why Brozović is thinking about it twice.

I also actually support his decision that he should rather go to Barcelona and stay at the top level of competition unless he is getting an absolutely huge amount of money from the Saudi league.

I actually agree with you, that €30 million per season is not a lot for Al Nassr. So it will be interesting to see what happens. I honestly think if he is not getting €30 million or more per season from Al Nassr he should go to Barcelona.

It's kinda a long shot if we would except Bitcoin to exceed $100k next year although I am not pretending to not see that it is still possible. If Bitcoin going past 60k was even unexpected for me back when Elon Musk was kinda like a hot topic here in the forum.

Again, we might not know in the next 2-3 years on how much can Bitcoin do before, during and after those years.

Gundogan's focus on a 2 season contract + 1 season auto-renewal if both parties agree is certainly a good choice for Barcelona and now Xavi doesn't seem to be too worried when Busquets leaves for Miami.

But for other conditions the rumors about De Jong and Manchester United have returned to being a new drama for Barcelona in this summer's transfer.

Neymar to United doesn't seem like a good move for United, not the other way around. Neymar would be very happy to play in such a great club and looking at the new ownership discussions and all, he would be very good signing as well. However, he is constantly injured and United needs a good result right away, they can't handle all the bad negative results that may happen.

This is why it is quite important for United to get some players that would impact right away and make them great as well. They already have a few good players, and they need to achieve a bit better soon as well, with like 3 great player transfers, they could literally fight for the top spot and they may end up doing that soon this summer if they do the whole takeover and money injection thing.

For the sake of this thread though, I’d say generally it’s the miners and devs being most bullish, followed by institutions and finally the noobs. Noobs deserve last place because they’re only bullish when Bitcoin’s bullish.

I want to believe that everyone on this forum lover bitcoin and that they reason they got into cryptocurrency is because of bitcoin.

I have categorized bitcoin people into Bitcoin miners, Bitcoin Core developers, Bitcoin institutions(like Microstrategy), Bitcoin Noobs.

I know there are many more but pardon me that is the best that comes to mind. Of these categories which do you think are do you think are the most bullish.

At an age like Luca Modric, there are those who start thinking about money, there are those like Modric where when he feels he can play for a top club like Real Madrid, he will be happy to do it and without thinking about the money that is offered to him. Modric himself must have considered what will happen next when he is unable to provide the best for the club, and surely that is a risk that he will be ready to take on later.

Joining a Saudi Arabian club is a shortcut, especially for those players who have not been looked at by many European clubs, of course the money they will get is so tempting.

The right and best possible time to buy bitcoin is now! If you obssess yourself by trying to figure out the best possible moment to buy, chances are that you will wait for too long and end up paying much more than you would if you didn't wait. After all, no one can really time the market and thos who tell you that they can and know when is bottom are full of shit.

My suggestion is to look into DCA (dollar cost average) method to get a habit of buying bitcoin regularly and to stop thinking too much about price volatility.

We expects good results from the reds next season. Liverpool is unlikely to be rebuilt; instead, the club requires prospective backup replacements for players who are leaving the squad. Jurgen Klopp does not hurry up signings; he takes his time determining what he wants for the club. In addition to that, their performance this season was one of their worst in decades, and I'm sure Klopp doesn't want that terrible experience to repeat itself in the new season, which is why he's taking the time to examine the estimated budgets that would fit his squad and direct them to winning ways.

that after a certain amount of time the bitcoin becomes practically anonymous? As in, not being able to be traced back to the original KYC exchange, or in the case of "tainted" bitcoin, that?
