What do you mean wasteful? The market does not follow the idea you have about it, it's influenced by other factors.

I've seen it as cheap as $3k.

Has your security and privacy been compromised at any point? If not, then you can make a simple transaction with a new receiving address on wallet B.

Sending through multiple transactions does not help much to provide privacy except if combined with other features. You can send them in different transactions through a mixer to blur the trail or convert to Monero and then back to Bitcoin.

A VPN does not provide privacy for a Bitcoin transaction, it can minimally help to protect your location but exposes you to the risk of the VPN server logging your details.

Bitcoin has more value than other cryptocurrencies because it offers for value. It's decentralized and secure, two features you will not find on almost all altcoins.

Bitcoin is not competing with either dollar or gold.

Miners don't create coins, they receive them as a reward for solving the puzzle. Also, nodes verify transactions, miners confirm them.

Never store your bitcoins online and never use an exchange for storage.

I went through a similar phase when I first got into Bitcoin.
During the first few months or years, my focus was on altcoins, particularly how to get the right project early and hold on to it as the hype grows. This was moderately profitable for the short term, but offered no viable investment option long-term.

I eventually after lots of lessons learnt focused more on investing in Bitcoin and moving away from highly volatile altcoins, which meant slow and steady growth with no "sudden" riches.

Some learn through the experience of others, some experience it and learn from that.

I did read the rest of your post, but I don't quote entire replies when I'm responding to them.
I understood what you were saying, my point was that there should be no comparison at all between the two industries, and that's the exact same point I was making in the first reply I made which you quoted.

Definitely looks good on paper and to an extent indicates how much Bitcoin has grown in the short space of time and the remaing potential for growth. I just feel, and this is only my personal opinion, that it sets the wrong precedence and helps on the narrative that Bitcoin is about the numbers, which ultimately leads us to having holders that don't care about privacy or decentralization.

If you old profile remains banned, you cannot use any other account.

The ban is on you, who is behind the computer and not on the account. Any account you use is ban evasion, which will get you banned.

It's a rinse and repeat method scammers use

After a successful or not so successful scam, they compile the details and sell it to other scammers who can attempt to scam those victims or the same scammers will pose as a recovery service to try and milk out more money from you.

Once you've been scammed or encountered a scam attempt, the chances of getting another one is very high, except you ditch all your personal information you were linked to.

Thank you for the prompt attention.

I guess I'll just try not to bounce back and forth much. There is no practical situation that needs that so you shouldn't bother much to fix what isn't really a problem.
I just pointed it out incase it was a bug.

Firstly, Bitcoin does not have a need to grow bigger than those industries. Finances is a game of the centralized, corporate world and they have so many tricks to keep winning that game.

Bitcoin is not about the numbers game, it js an alternative to that entire system. An escape from the financial trap that the governments have set up.

It seems like a lot of people on this thread are oblivious to the privacy threat which has been afoot for sometime now.
Exchanges and mining are the two major points where privacy and decentralization can be lost, and at the current direction both will be hugely centralized in the coming years.

We shouldn't trust. I believe there should be a protocol feature to prevent centralization.

You used a fee which is below the current purging rate, meaning your transaction will not be confirmed by any miner.

If your transaction purpose is not urgent and you're not ready to spend more than 20 says/vbyte to get it confirmed, you can allow it to be dropped by nodes.
If you want it confirmed, choose your priority fee and bump it to that, then rebroadcast.

Current rate;
Low, medium and high priority is approximately: 34, 37 and 42 satsvbyte.

Nothing is sustainable forever.

The capacity of growth an industry has is correlative to how much wiggle room there is or how much money can sustainably be moved into it. We can already see reduction in how much growth there is in the Bitcoin market over the last 5 years;

• From 2019 to date
The price has gone from ~$3.5k to $67k
That's approximately ×20

• From 2014 to 2019
The price went from ~$400 to $18k
This is approximately ×45

If the trend continues we should be having lower and lower price increases until it levels out eventually.

If you want to transfer $50 in Bitcoin when fees were as low as 1sat/vbyte then you have a really good deal, cause you can spend on coffee or any other really low expense you make regularly for little to no cost, over several weeks.

LN may not work for everyone and is dependent on the current network congestions and the user's needs.

If there was a breach, the hacker 'knows' the email too, it will be on display in your profile before they changed it. Only use the original email it if as suggested above you are the only one with access to it.

Great work TryNinja. I don't write long texts regularly, but it helps to have a back up for the situation where you risk losing a message you took a lot of effort to write.

Could be just me, but the message icon beneath the text box is a bit of an eye full. Might be easier on the eyes if only the time of the last update is shown and not the date.
Also, when I go to drafts and return to the post the "Auto-Save draft is activated!" message pops up again and again, as I bounce back and forth.

Btcoin is the tool to financial freedom as displayed here. Money for so long has been a colonial tool used to control the public and determine which direction wealth flows in.

Prior to Bitcoin the only other option to escape a financial prison will be to transact using exchange of goods, but Bitcoin offers a secure, borderless, and decentralized means of exchanging value. I am.very optimistic for how much it can be used in the next couple of decades.

Welcome back to the forum.

Since you're looking to get into a signature campaign just post the way you would if you were already chosen to join one of those campaigns and it can get merited by others. The merit requirement is not very steep, most of the campaigns require an average of 5 merits within 4 months, so you have till April to get that.

Just focus on getting back in tune with the Bitcoin space and the forum generally.

Bitcoin's superiority is not determined by the price but the network.
1BTC is always equal to 1BTC and the network functions the same way right from when it first went online. When the price drops it gives you an opportunity to buy more at a discounted price.

Hownlow do you think fiat will drop in 2024?

The gambling board is one of the most active ones on the forum and threads move down there or four pages within hours, while this could be a period of 2-3 days.

Did you search for the thread by name or just scanned for it on the first few pages?
