How is giving him topic ideas the same as cheating?
I assume he's going to do the research himself once he's focused on one particular thing.
Bitcoin is a broad concept. I wouldn't know where to start either.

Bitcoin will never become obsolete. Maybe you mean the technology behind Bitcoin will never become obsolete. And even that is debatable. Sataoshi Nakamoto was a brilliant man but he is no longer involved. There are other brilliant minds in the world who are working on similar technologies. Now and in the future. The best is yet to come.

You don't own the keys to a wallet... Nobody owns anything.
We control the Bitcoins that we have access to. All is good and well until someone else gains access to the same Bitcoins.
If you can't sleep well at night having this knowledge, Bitcoin is not for you.

WOw, I couldn't have said it better myself.
The Bitcoin community is infested with lunatics, nut-jobs, anarchists, propagandists, people who continuously bitch about the government but don't have any balls to take action, etc.
Good job, you've killed the best thing to come along in ages.
Bitcoin is not your propaganda tool, fuck off.

If you were unsure if that was real I will save you the time and let you know not to buy this "laptop" either. I mean honestly guy, that was the worst phishing attempt ever. No legit website is EVER going to have an ip address in front. EVER. You can write that down on a post it note and stick it on your monitor as cyber security rule #0. Chromebook... eeew

Hm you just need to make sure you own the private key to your account, because if you don't control the private key you don't own ... UH, ONE MOMENT. HOLD ON ... SHIT. BITCOIN USERS NOT AFFECTED Anyone knowing the private key can come and empty your "wallet". And that's perfectly legal. I think you mean Bitcoin users are VERY affected.
