Being irreversible is not an issue, it's a positive that Bitcoin has other forms of currency.

First point to note is for a transaction to be reversible, there has to be a central authority to oversee transactions and go through the details of each one to ensure people do not just reverse transactions after paying for something. This will mean Bitcoin is not decentralized and is not a unique, futuristic asset at all.

If transactions were reversible you will not be certain you own the bitcoins in your wallet.

What we have to do it take responsibility when making a transaction. Triple check the address in it's entirety and not just the first and last characters.

This has to be combined with utility that the product has. There cannot be a linear relationship between the value of a product and the cost to acquire the product. Gold is difficult to mine and has real world value, both factors has to be present. A product can have real world value but can be easily acquired anywhere in the world with no effort, and it can have no utility, but be very rare; in both situations the value of the product will be low.

Bitcoin has utility which creates the demand, it also has a limited supply which means the demand is constantly growing against it.

You're right
I meant to write that it doesn't affect the merit count, not activity count.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Banks created a system, governments legalized that system and now the citizens are forced to use that system. This system was at a time backed by gold which has real value, but that was ditched and now it has no intrinsic value.

Trying to draw a connection between collateral and value is a high reach. For there to be a transfer of value then every unit is backed by the other asset which is not the case in fiat. And with the concept of credit which makes it possible to spend money you don't have to pay in the future, there will be a huge deficit using your argument


I would not have bothered replying if I had jumped to the end and read the gibberish about pyramid scheme. This is a terrible attempt at trolling.

Bitcoin is not based off people's belief, people believe in it cause it has intrinsic value.
It was also not designed based off "feelings", I have no idea what that even means.

Just like any new innovation, there were early adopters who beleived in Bitcoin even when it did not have a market value and there are those that joined the train when it was getting speed, that's how inventions work

Cold storage is more of a feature of the user that the wallet itself. As long as it's a non custodian wallet, you can implement cold storage on it by keeping the wallet offline or on an airgapped device.

I dare say the price will not be affected by it at all. The investments going into altcoins will have it entirely gone to Bitcoin and a number of people discovered Bitcoin as a result of the relentless marketing by altcoin projects. I believe both factors balance themselves out very nicely.

Bitcoin does not have a competition and it's development is independent of external factors.

The latter does not benefit bitcoin at all.

If you live in a high conflict area where you fear that your property may be destroyed at anytime, then you have a lot more problems to deal with than.whether or not to put your property in Bitcoin or not.

Your first priority should be safety and security.

Ninjastic space does not scrap way back to when the merit system was newly created.

The plausible situation here is the user had enough posts and activity to get the airdrpped merits and deleted their posts soon after that which does not affect their activity count.

Signature campaigns are not forum dedicated or related to the forum at all. More than half of them do not promote crypto projects and are gambling related.
Of course the projects have to have some appeal to the audience here, so the casino houses are mostly those that accept cryptocurrency, other popular services are mixers for crypto and Bitcoin wallets, but their are not forum related in any way, just regular services being advertised.

Anyone looking to hire or be hired should be able to read through 2-3 pages of threads, but maybe the services board should have a child board to advertise a service that one offers and the current one will be to hire people to work on a service, that can help declutter it a little bit.

This is very far from he truth. Ban appeals are not granted cause most bans are legitimate and the banned user actually broke the rules deliberately, sometimes they broke it multiple times and they are not net positive members to the forum.
However you construct the appeal and the support you get will not change the verdict.

If you are banned, this is the most ideal way to appeal it. A thread in meta can be made to support this and get the attention of mods quicker.

Let me prefix by saying anyone can advertise what they want as long as it is not a scam.

Now to the point of the discussion, I don't think users should wear signatures of projects they do not agree with, they feel may be detrimental and will not use for themselves. The world is not utopian and people do things for money in the real world due to situation and circumstances, but this is an online forum and what you do here is well within your control.

There are also numerous campaigns available, granted majority of them are gambling related but there are definitely others.
You can simply apply for some other campaign.

There's another argument that endorsement can have different meaning. Advertising a site can be me telling you that it's not a scam website. I'm not encouraging you to gamble, but if you must this is a good website to do it on.

A country is already a small enough group, breaking that off into specific locations will lead to less and less discussions and presents a privacy risk for the users.

The focus should be on getting your local board approved, then working out the most needed childboards to include in it.

Violating many of the rules will only get you a slap on the wrist and nothing more. For you to get more serious punishments you need to break one of three rules;
• Steal someone else's content and pass it off as yours,
• Excessively spam the forum despite repeated warnings,
• Share malwares.

The above rules are not broken in ignorance, so if you have no plan toncheat the system you will be fine here.

To understand how the forum works you have to interact more with it, join discussions and try out the available features. Visit the Help option for assistance.

Time to lock this thread and move on since you're aware of what happened now.

It will also be nice if we stopped policing the moderators and assuming they take action cause a higher ranked or more "reputable member" requested for it.

I remember doing same around 2016/2017, less than a handful of years ago.
How much value has been lost shows nothing is being created by the economy, SMEs are everywhere but the majority of them end up falling.

Appointments by the president were made based on nepotism Ora's a reward to that helped him to climb on that seat.

Out of curiosity.
Will positive comments about the proposed regulation also be taken into account and what stops the government from sponsoring comments encouraging it inorder to counter any criticism that it gets?

Do not risk money you cannot afford to lose.

Bitcoin is a reliable investment, but expecting returns in four to five months is highly risky due to the volatility of the market. Investments are best done with spare money and a long term target, so you will not anxiously check the charts every few hours and be forced to sell at a loss.

It's not too late to invest, the price can go well beyond $40k but do not rush into an investment cause of movement in the market.

Do your research and take your time.

• They CAN start a crackdown on privacy tools for whatever boogey reason,
• They can do the same to P2P platforms and any other service that doesn't comply for the same non existent reason.

If this is allowed the cost of privacy will keep growing until those seeking it are considered to be doing something illegal.

There are a couple of non KYC compliant options that you can use.

This is not a new low at all. Scammers have always been doing things like this throughout all recorded cases of violence or crisis.
It makes it almost impossible to trust anything one sees on the internet, I certainly will not send money to any random website or handle without doing days worth of research and communication with those who are handling it.

No one should trust a blue tick enough to be scammed by one.
