Think about it like this: when you are using euros or dollars in your country and you want to buy a pair of shoes do you check for the price of eur/usd? You don't, you don't give a shit because the currency you are using has an intrinsic value. That's what bitcoin would need, that level of adoption is insanely hard to ever be achieved, right now you can't just buy a pair of shoes with bitcoin without checking the price for btc/usd. Bitcoin itself does not have intrinsic value and perhaps never will, perhaps bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency will never take over fiat, perhaps the governments will have cryptocurrencies of their own, who knows.

As always, it's crucial to distinguish between regulation of the Bitcoin protocol itself and regulation of third party services that store peoples' bitcoins. The protocol doesn't need regulation, but the services invariably do. You don't achieve financial inclusion by exchanges and webwallets getting hacked and losing everyone's money. As such, some regulation is unavoidable. Exchanges, in a similar vein to banks, simply can't be trusted to operate without any fiduciary oversight.
On the one hand, we don't want regulation that's too restrictive, but on the other, services can't be left completely unsupervised if they act as custodians for any funds. At least until further advancements are made with things like smart contracts, which, theoretically, may eventually negate the need for regulation if they prove to be sufficiently robust. The key for now is finding a reasonable compromise.
And the good news is, it's incredibly difficult for anyone to apply regulations to the Bitcoin protocol itself. That's not something we need to be overly concerned with. Plus, any sensible government will know that criminalising its usage would only drive it underground, creating an even bigger problem for them. It's in their best interests to play nice. They definitely don't want us as an enemy.
Lastly, while it's true that we can clearly see the advantages for the unbanked/underbanked, it's worth remembering that they may not see things the same way yet. Even if we're ready for them, that doesn't necessarily mean they're ready for us. It may take some time for them to make the necessary adjustments in mindset. Change on this scale isn't always as fast as we'd ideally like. All we can really do is make it as simple and user-friendly as we can and let them come to us in their own time.
I agree. My concern is too is overregulation rather than common sense regulation. There are unsavory elements such as money laundering and terrorism that must be addressed. Also many of those people that are unbanked, are so because of choice. However, the price they pay to do so is high. It's too soon to be fearful of overregulation because there was virtually no regulation to begin with. Honestly, can you trust any exchange right now with your money? You can't. Time will tell, we have to wait until, june, I believe when regulations are going to be proposed and enforced. |

And it isn't? Right now it is, anyone denying that is delusional. That doesn't mean I don't believe in crypto and the technology but we are still far away from any adoption close to any currency. Can you imagine anyone buying everything they buy with fiat but with bitcoins right now? It would be a nightmare.

Since 4.13, when Bitcoin suddenly pulled up, does it mean that the bottoming is successful, Bitcoin will usher in a price increase, and it is expected to exceed $11,700, or even higher.
It's mostly because this pattern: https://gyazo.com/d30b3821a7adc48a7100094c3cb536e5 It was tightening up more and more until it broke. Some good news and rumors helped the bull break. We are still far away from a big bull run, you just have to be patient and look for higher highs and higher lows on the daily charts before we can really call it a bull run. |

If you are talking about the last bull break, I think it mainly happened because of technical analysis. https://gyazo.com/d30b3821a7adc48a7100094c3cb536e5There were good news and some good rumors about bitcoin, like soros getting involved and other names and that certainly helped the break to be a bull break rather than a bear break. Also the fact that this time we did not touch the last bottom of 6k was also a strong signal that we might see a bounce. |

lol I am a Muslim and didn't know it was not halal before. I do not care tbh, it is not pork dough it is a crypto.''
Honestly I don't think it's going to have any impact at all other than people seeing it as good news. Let's be honest, muslims just like any other religious group do not follow their books to an 100% degree. Christians don't stone people or burn witches anymore, muslims were already in bitcoin before it was officially declared as halal.

 https://gyazo.com/782e80dfbfcc4d047f37e9086b16eaf2You might as well rename the meta section to the merit section or you could add another section dedicated to merit, it's annoying as fuck and most posts are the same shit anyways. Also most of them don't give a fuck about the merit system or its flaws, they are just trying to get merits themselves. True, most of the merited posts are in the meta section. I think it would just be simpler to just create subforum specific restrictions for merit, e.g. cannot merit in the meta or off-topic sections. Right now, the meta section is the go to source for merit farming, just post a few high profile comments there that are likely to be viewed by merit sources, check back in a few hours and you'll probably have 2-3 merit. The same quality of post in another section of the forum would almost certainly attract no merit. Obviously adding a section dedicated to merit is just pointless, as that undermines the entire system. You shouldn't be posting just to earn merit, you should be earning merit just for posting, if you don't earn merit then your posts aren't worthy. TLDR: Remove merit from the meta section. Ironically the merit system is encouraging spammers thirsty for merits to spam the meta section with pointless merit ''questions'' or ''suggestions''. In any case I would at least like to be able to report merit threads that are useless and have my reports answered but I don't know if mods are deleting pointless merit threads right now. |

There's a flat earth map that people post around, basically the picture where they take the actual map and the north pole is in the center, and south pole is surrounding everything with the "ice wall." If you just apply basic geometric principles to that map you can see that it's completely wrong. Australia would need to be more than twice the size it is because it's so far away from the center.
This isn't even getting into the geometry of the sun relative to places on the earth. Just get some of your flat earther friends and go to different points on the earth at different latitudes and measure where the sun is at the same time. You can just plainly see the earth can't be flat. As a bonus, if you use your measurements you can actually measure the curvature of the earth too!
Not only that but their sun and moon paths would never be able to produce the day/night cycles that we have. They now claim they are projections but they never explain why or how these projections exist, let alone their paths to produce light only in a few places. Let's not talk about the million pictures of the earth or countless videos and livestreams and the fact that they have 0 photos of the flat earth, the dome, the Antarctic wall that surrounds the earth? How difficult is it, I mean if we can have hundreds of thousands of fake pictures, surely they can have at least 1 ''real'' picture of the flat earth, no? |

In general, you do not need to focus on the " red line".    Did you understand the pupose of the red line? It underlines the typing errors that your browser thinks you have made, and it gives you a chance to correct them. Failure to do this can lead readers to think you are a bot, or that you are just rattling out multiple posts for a sig campaign. Do you think he understands anything at all? He is a clear example of what I said, even without grammatical mistakes his post would still be totally useless. |

nobody got the right answer to this topic so I might as well with due all shit respect share my thoughts about this one. main pointWhen I discover this Bitcoin I was a clueless noob that wonder what is this shit upon searching and searching for hours I stumbled across to a forum that have a domain name bitcointalk.org oh well they are talking about Bitcoin I participated the longer I was there I learn that you can earn free Bitcoin for promoting an advertisement in your signature space wow pretty cool huh, however things didn't stay the same some dysfunctional peoples/persons started working to get their hands dirty by scamming or enrolling their hundred if not thousand of accounts in all signature campaign so that they can live the life they ever wanted. Bottom lineMy mission is to provide my knowledge to the next generation about decentralized currency that will not rely on any controlled banks by some holy moly. Based on 70% of posts it seems that the forum is here to develop an army of 3rd world shitposters who earn more from posting here than they do at McDonalds
Yeah that is exceptionally true but this one is also a fact but working at McDonalds will give them more social interactions. Your post is garbage and you are here just like everyone else to make money, don't be ashamed of it, embrace it, admit it and fix your english. |

I totally agree with your recommendations, Talk merit!
However, your recommendations will (might) be taken into considerations by constructive users. In contrast, spammers, account farmers might probably not care about this. They will keep showing their shits, their pseudo-English threads, their typos. Of course, I really hope that they will stop doing this after reading your topic.
Anyway, thank you for your good warning message.
They should care, they wont rank up otherwise. Although correcting typos is a good idea, what matters the most, at least to me, is the overall message someone is posting. You can have 0 spelling mistakes and your message can still make zero sense. |

It's a shame that bitcoin community here and reddit are so biased towards bitcoin. That's why there is so much FUD and fake news, it's extremely hard to find real news right now. Everyone is shilling their coins, specially bitcoin with false propaganda or fake news. Every post on reddit is about the next bull run or why bitcoin wont dip further or why you have to buy the dips. Basically people trying to convince themselves that bitcoin will reach the ATH again, which might very well not happen. People need to accept their losses instead of desperately trying to shill bitcoin which ironically it's only hurting bitcoin's image.

i've been very supportive of this society for a long time, a firm believer in equality!!
However if transgender-ism is a mental illness we shouldn't encourage them. Just like you wouldn't tell someone who believes he is superman to jump out a window. Mentally ill people need to be treated, that's why we have places for them. The suicide rate for transgender people is way too high to only be attributed to ''bullying''. |

You wouldn't need to display the different themes in the contract itself. You would make your website communicate with the smart contract and then payments come in. Better explained here: https://gist.github.com/Zuchos/082b37c687c38f13a5d15e8f88579d00It's basically a small ''tutorial'' on how to do what you are basically asking for. |

If we are talking specifically about bounties (aka altcoins) I would only participate in the coins that I would invest otherwise. I usually always read ICO's and altcoin announcements, I check the team, the coin, the product, the whitepaper, if it looks good I decide whether to invest or not. Sometimes I check if they have a bounty/signature campaign and I do that instead of investing my money into it. I believe that's the best way to do it and avoid hundreds of shitty bounties from shitty coins.
