Fellow Bitcoiners, stay clam.  |

Ah chart buddy, off to a slow start. |

We have a proposal in the UK that vaccine passports should be created. This seems to be under serious consideration by our government. The passports will certify that a person has received a Covid vaccination, or that he/she has developed natural immunity, or has recovered from a recent Covid infection. Some virologists are of the opinion that as many as 95% of the population have innate immunity to the whole family of Corona viruses. If this is born out by the passport testing, will it lead to a realisation that vaccinations are not required for protection against the virus?
It may be a good idea on paper but I'm thinking of the privacy and ethical implications that come with this "passport". We all know they'll be collecting more data than they need to, just take a look at the most recent data breaches in the news. Countries that mandate this vaccine will be met with some type of resistance. I wouldn't be surprised if an underground market emerges to obtain 'certifications' in these areas. |

I found btc long time ago. But, i miss perfect opportunity to buy btc. When i see btc at $5k, I was think it’s high price. When i see btc at $10k, I was think it’s already high price. But now, When i see btc at $58k, I think price of will be increase more.  Every day is a opportunity, re-read what you just wrote! |

At the meeting where this decision was taken, the possibility of a GOT term was discussed; I'd love to be in that session. "We have some suggestions in front of you". In a world where things are changing, I think it's great to see things like this happen. Some company hiring down the road will get a kick out of it seeing: "Master of Coin" on a resume.

Amazon is now the latest company to be jumping to the cryptocurrency world by creating their own currency so it can be used as payment system in their marketplace. It's yet to be concluded if amazon is already developing their new currency or they are just in a study face as things is still in secret. Source https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/amazon-set-to-launch-its-own-bitcoin-rivalThey don't want to be late to the crypto arms race. If they don't take a shot at it, someone else will. It may start out as a rewards program in the early stages like what Francis said but could evolve into some much bigger. |

Suppose I buy from a merchant who accepts bitcoin (e.g. Newegg which uses Bitpay).
Is this a taxable event? i.e. should I report my purchase to IRS?
Sounds like you reside in the USA based on the example you gave above. So here's how the USA breaks down a taxable event: If you used bitcoin by cashing it on an exchange or buying goods and services, you will owe taxes if the realized value (the sale price of bitcoin, for example) is greater than the price at which you acquired the bitcoin. You may have a capital gain that's taxable at either short-term or long-term rates. |

The interesting thing is encouraging. But we're even earning if the value of bitcoin goes up.
Go with your interest but security is what matters most for someone like me. I don't think that exchanges will even give you a refund if they are hacked unless they are generous like Binance.
The idea behind the exchange having your back is still a "grey" area in my opinion. They may be able to refund some users funds to 100% but what about the high $ accounts, they'll probably get partial refunds. Those with partial refunds will be given the nicehash treatment where they're still paying users and most still have not recovered 100% of their funds. I'm still behind the 'not your keys, not your coins' principle like what @btc_angela said earlier. For example Binance.us USD deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance coverage as of 2019. |

I'm sure this question won't sound that articulate because I don't know all the uses of bitcoin or blockchain applications, but is there a way to lock a file, or image, or website with bitcoin? Theoretically, the only way to access the thing is to "unlock it" with bitcoin, hence pay the owner of the digital object. I'm sure there are 1000 projects that have some similar shtick, but can this just be done with bitcoin? I feel like if it was possible and easy to do that could be a game changer. Curious about people's thoughts.
The only thing I can think of is: https://satoshidisk.com/ |

Ain't lying about the profitability
Because if you mine with antpool and some other you will get profitability
This S17+ @ 73TH/s will not net you $17 at current rates, we are in the second quarter of 2020... |

We have lowered the withdrawal limit to now only 700 uBits. Play now and uncover Bitcoin bits now only at https://LiveMines.com Hey, I withdrew 9 hours ago and still got nothing! Is that website a scam? Have you seen the mempool lately? Check this out: https://mempool.space/ and enter your transaction ID. It should give you a good idea on when you'll see your BTC. |

We want to create a multi-signature address with 2 components.
The first step is to generate the private keys and the public keys (addresses).
These are two public keys.
> 1NGJoYzwfMotjjBuZZ5H4BujcxGZMQDMoW (private key 1)
> 1L3pUofp8EYX7uXVFy2gNSBTanmdC8sRWe (private key 2)
We would take the private keys from both addresses (public key) and we would have to combine them.
(private key 1) & (private key 2) = multi-signature address (P2SH)
How would you do that without using software?
It seems like this has been discussed in the past with other types. Take a look at this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919430.0 (Post #6) TLDR: It will take you a very long time to do it manually. If you're trying to create an address to prove something to yourself I guess you could try but I would recommend using an air-gaped address generator like bitaddress.org or similar site. Head over the to their github page, download the code and run it on your own computer with the internet off. This would save you some time and get a guaranteed end result. |

Often I come across this word, but I do not fully understand what it means when applied to the blockchain. An agreement between miners?
I thnk you might be talking about this: https://www.coindesk.com/coindesk-takes-consensus-2020-virtualThe event description: "This will enable more people from all over the world to participate and gather to discuss the most important topics of our time, coordinated by CoinDesk’s experienced journalists and moderators in a rolling live TV-like experience accessible from anywhere in the world." If this is what your talking about... think of it as a group of 'experts' that will virtually discuss a wide range of topics about the different cryptos, technology, maybe legal stuff? |

Is there a realistic chance that I could get my money back...?
Looks like other people are still trading, the website is still operating...
I have reported the issue to the Hong Kong Police Force, but I wonder if that would do something..
IF they're not legit... depending on what you sent them for KYC keep tabs on your credit and possible identity theft. |
