Good for them for actually releasing a good ad that doesn't just straight-off shill shitcoins. Technically, it wasn't really a Bitcoin advertisement, it's a Coinbase advertisement. The good thing about it is it highlights the flaws in the traditional banking system and the flaws of 3rd party payment processors. So, basically this is where cryptocurrency takes place not only Bitcoin, but crypto as a whole, and of course using their platform to make those transactions.
Nevertheless, the advertisement really made sense though, but we all know people who doesn't want to learn and correct these flaws, would never gonna switch and leave what their used to.
It's great though. The fact that it's a bit more subtle and the fact that they don't necessarily need to plaster Bitcoin all over people's faces. Why Coinbase don't change themselves first from a centralized platform to a decentralized one?  Because it's a dumb decision in a business sense. Always remember that Coinbase is a US-based company. |

From 10% to 30%. A huge ass jump that I don't think there's any reason for mining companies to stay in the United States. What's probably going to be left is the home miners who may or may not declare their mining operations.

Simple! Tell them that the first Ponzi appeared from 1869 to 1872. [1] That means Ponzi scheme was born about 2 centuries ago and Bitcoin is not responsible for that as it was born in 2009. Beyond Bitcoin, scammers apply Ponzi scheme by many other things: banks, stocks, hedge funds, supplementary medicine supplies etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_schemeIf it was that simple, then we should already have 80%+ less FUD now. We have rebuttals for the 90%+ of the FUD; it's just that like I said — most people simply don't want to be convinced. |

One of the main things to note is that your site has to make a difference because only domain name change is not enough to convince persons towards your crypto site especially when it comes to the aspect of investment therefore you need to make sure your site follows their policies properly and prevent scam as much as possible because even trust check sites which most people use before investing rate websites mostly based on reviews by people on the site.
? Did you even check what the website is about? It doesn't even do any recommendations with concerning to investments; it's just a small website focused on crypto security. |

Props to you for putting up with the bullshit, but I'm personally done with trying to fight these types of cases. Some people simply just don't want their minds changed. I'll just allocate my investments in a way that I can be personally comfortable even if bitcoin doesn't pump in 5 years.

Yea, they're bandage solutions, but I don't think SMS is the solution. I think increase in internet access is still the solution — maybe through typical internet service providers, or through something like Elon Musk's Starlink. |

Alternatives of offline-transfers aside, it's safe to assume that as time goes, internet adoption(or at least the stability and accessibility) on poorer countries will go up as well. Hopefully in parallel to bitcoin/crypto adoption.

He should be ashamed of making such statement. I wonder how He is an Nobel prize winner in Economic science and He still didn't see the significance of cryptocurrency in the year 2018.
He may probably be smart in some aspects of economics and markets, but he definitely has no business in trying to tell people what's great and what's not when talking about technological advancements lmao. |

Assuming that humanity will last more than a million years, it's pretty anti-innovation to think that Bitcoin will be the final form of currency/SoV. There will always be something better; it's just the matter of when. But regardless, if there's anything better, it's definitely not going to be invented in the foreseeable future.

Probably take whatever Elon Musk says about Twitter with a grain of salt. From what I can see, Twitter seems to be his sort of playground knowing how impulsive and experimental he is with concerning platform updates. Definitely not sure if this is the best way of doing things, but it's certainly interesting.

When two authorities are actively with their fuds and potentially launched regulations, both markets likely react with a same direction and we probably will see their coupled connection that won't last forever.
Not really. Regulatory attacks are mostly(probably 90%) thrown towards the cryptocurrency space as the stock/realestate markets are highly regulated already. If anything, regulatory attacks towards the cryptocurrency space is what makes it move nonparallel to the stock markets. |

It's ironic, that in the link that you posted to Jameson Lopp's list of robberies and extortions, that he himself was almost extorted.  But you can avoid such situations by not revealing where you live or your house address. Can't get SWATted if the scammer doesn't even know where to send them. True. People always overlook $5 wrench attacks thinking "meh, chances are it won't happen to me". Unfortunately for Jameson Lopp though — he's a public Bitcoin personality so people would know about him and his bitcoin forever. All he can do is to beef up his personal security. |

It really isn't the first time this happened. Though most of the time — unfortunately, when bitcoin decouples, its on the downside. It's the simple fact that bitcoin is far more sensitive when it comes to news; so positive/negative news tends to be amplified by a lot.

How did you know about Bitcoin in 2016, 2017 and know about those faucets but did not join the forum earlier?
I personally found out about faucets far before I found out about Bitcointalk as well. And guess what? Probably a lot of Bitcoiners today found out about Bitcointalk far later down their path, and maybe a good chunk of them probably haven't heard of Bitcointalk at all. Fun fact: you don't necessarily need to go through Bitcointalk to be a bitcoiner. |

No offense — but how would you even contribute to the forum by posting if you can't even figure out yourself how signature campaigns work? Especially knowing that I don't even know if you know much about bitcoin at all.
