VR/AR can definitely transform virtual non-physical events, but NFTs in this case is optional. You can have ticketing without NFTs, just like how we can view online streams and events today the traditional way without NFTs.

The topic title is about how 93% of bitcoin total supply has been mined, but the OP post is about another thing entirely.

OP edited the main post after I made my response, changing the topic entirely lmao. OP pretty much said that everyone — even future children(yes, the unborn) should have fair distribution of bitcoin. Like.. 🤨

All you guys care about is fiat gains, your lives are fucking meaningless. Go plant some damn food or build buildings contribute to humanity. Fuck everyone on this forum, the wef, the central banks and all the politicians and bankers, bunch of fucking pieces of shit.

Big words coming from someone getting angry over some inanimate numbers over the internet. You're assuming we're just sitting in our asses waiting for BTC price to increase, but in fact like 90%+ of people here are living normal lives with normal jobs/businesses lmao.

So.. you want to instead own an asset that would still continue to have emissions in the far far future just so future kids can still mine new supply?

Like.. you know..

inflation?

I've read a lot about this when this news was released, and I've read multiple times that those statements were just made for 'legality' purposes. I'm no expert in law though, so take this with a grain of salt.

First unofficial rule: Probably read around or use Google first before asking as to prevent redundant questions. This questions is being asked like a few times a week.

Topic: New to the Forums, hello everyone! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459900.0

Pretty hard to talk about this knowing that there are various degrees of both obsession and addiction. It's not binary — it's a spectrum; just like how two money-obsessed persons have different degrees of obsession.

You know it's a totally overblown bull run if you're already looking at marketplace prices on luxury watches, cars, expensive collectibles, and the likes. Thinking that you're some hot stuff and that you're better than Warren Buffett or something.

Basically, euphoria.

There are legitimate "free" NFTs through platforms like Solana's Drip.Haus. This on the other hand, is 99% likely to be a scam.

^Also take note that anyone can make their own NFTs, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will end up being worth anything.

PayPal is not in many countries in the world. It can make fiat transaction easy for you but what about others. In my country, to send fiat to people has no fee while using some banks. But what about international transaction? That is where bitcoin is an advantage with low fee.

A lot of countries have their own iterations of PayPal; and if a certain country isn't technologically advance enough to have their own version of PayPal, chances are, most of the people can't afford to pay Bitcoin non-lightning fees. Also, stablecoins through Tron and Solana.

Bitcoin's importance is still mostly the currency itself rather than the payment system.

I'd still prefer taking a computer science(CS) course para mas wide ung scope. Para pag nag die down ng konti ang mga crypto-related companies, e pwede ka parin makahanap ng trabaho sa ibang tech-related companies. Hindi ung totally focused ka lang sa blockchain.

They may or may not be selling your information, but always remember that hackers/scammers can get your email elsewhere. Heck, I frequently receive Coinbase-related phising email even though I don't even have a Coinbase account.

Bitcoin replaces more of the currency rather than the payment system. If you only wanted something faster, PayPal and other centralized services exist. A decentralized peer-to-peer currency though, we didn't have before Bitcoin.

It's just another stablecoin hype, i don't think it will be used by many when there are already existing ways to transfer fiat money online. Why fiat, i consider stablecoins as fiat in cryptocurrency form since its centralized. And talking about fees, it will be a hell of fees to transfer sooner when the whole eth blockchain is congested which regularly to happen.

Though liquidity will mostly be on the Ethereum main chain, stablecoins can be send and received far cheaply on layer-2s like Arbitrum and Base. Just like how you can do so with USDC and USDT.

or join various communities and try to do things peer-to-peer.

A good choice, especially if have an escrow service that you can use.

Yes — peer to peer is always the way to go as to prevent those service fees like on those mentioned platforms. Going to be a huge pain in the ass to look for good deals thats actually legitimate and not just people trying to scam you though.

Even if such a service exist, it will be really bad due to the lack of listing. I'm afraid for now your only choice is to use the likes of Flippa and Empire Flippers and receive fiat money, and use that fiat money to buy bitcoin.

That, or join various communities and try to do things peer-to-peer.

Personally — I don't even use any of them; not even TradingView lol. Though to be fair, I "trade" mostly based on fundamentals so I don't plan entries and exits based on technical analysis like most trading peeps do.

Bitcointalk isn't necessarily the best place to research as a beginner, but a damn good place to ask questions. (Google your question first before asking to prevent redundant questions).

And ultimately — don't push people into investing in ANY asset. Regardless if they need to take time to research or maybe they're simply not just interested, just let them be. People will buy bitcoin at a price they deserve.

Why even compare bitcoin to real estate? While it's debatable their either can be used as a store-of-value, they're 2 very different assets with different advantages, disadvantages, and characteristics in general. It's like comparing being a doctor and being a lawyer.
