While Bitcoin offers a solution to many of the problems presented by our current money system, it still has some drawbacks. One of its biggest limitations concern the speed and price of transactions, especially during busy times. These limitations prevent it from becoming a true medium of exchange for day to day microtransactions, such as cash or credit card.

The lightning network was designed to solve just that. Built as a second layer over the bitcoin network, it enables people to transfer Bitcoin between one another instantly and without any fees. This is made possible by creating payment channels between two users. Payments can also be made between users that are connected indirectly, via network channels.

A store of value is an asset that’s capable of retaining value over time. If you purchased a good store of value today, you could be reasonably certain that its value would not depreciate over time. In the future, you would expect the asset to be worth just as much.

If the Bitcoin network continues to grow, more users will adopt it, liquidity will increase, and the price will become more stable. Because of stronger stability, there won’t be as much of an incentive to hold it in hopes of higher gains in the future.

The store of value thesis for Bitcoin argues that it’s  one of the soundest assets known to man. I strongly  believe that Bitcoin is the best way to store wealth such that it will not devalued over time.Bitcoin is indeed a store of value.

I was once victim to scammers. Cryptocurrencies are so easy to steal. They’re also not always easy to protect. There is not an institution that will provide a layer of protection for cryptocurrencies against crypto phishing as well as law enforcement agency to catch cryptocurrency thieves.

A more recent method of phishing is done by abusing search engine ad networks such as Google Ads to display phishing sites and fool users into clicking the phishing site.

In order to protect yourself from phishing sites,make sure you do not click on the link before checking them very carefully.  Instead of clicking the on links, type in the address on your browser.Do not download attachment in your inbox and if you take an email from the service you use, do not reply till you have verified the sender is legitimate.lastly,Do not use open Wi-Fi networks while using e-wallet or other important banking transactions.

Fiat money is a currency established as money, often by government regulation, but that has no intrinsic value. Fiat money does not have use value, and has value only because a government maintains its value, or because parties engaging in exchange agree on its value.[1] It was introduced as an alternative to commodity money and representative money. Representative money is similar to fiat money, but it represents a claim on a commodity (which can be redeemed to a greater or lesser extent).[2][3][a]

Government issued banknotes were first used in 11th century China. Since then, they have been used by various countries, usually concurrently with commodity currencies. Fiat money started to predominate in the 20th century. Since the decoupling of the US dollar from gold by Richard Nixon in 1971, a system of national fiat currencies has been used globally.

Fiat money can be:

-any money declared by a government to be legal tender.
-state-issued money which is neither convertible by law to any other thing, nor fixed in value in terms of any objective standard.
-intrinsically valueless money used as money because of government decree.
-an intrinsically useless object that serves as a medium of exchange (also known as fiduciary money.)
-the term fiat derives from the Latin fiat ("let it be done").

I believe this to be intentional as they've applied in for merits in a merit-giveaway thread. Likely to have ranked multiple accounts already.

The World Health Organization has unveiled  global information and monitoring platform for the COVID-19 epidemic leveraging on the blockchain infrastructure.
On March 28, the WHO partnered with major blockchain and technology companies to launch a distributed Ledger-based (DLT) platform to share data on coronavirus epidemics called Mipasa.

The Mipasa platform is built on hyperleader fabric and aims to be the "center of early detection and infection of COVID-19 carriers".

Mipasa was launched in collaboration with technology company IBM, computer company Oracle, enterprise blockchain platform Hasera and IT company Micro .ft.
Mipasa can help monitor and predict local and global epidemic trends and help potential AI executives around the world locate possible asymptomatic vectors by providing detailed information on the routes and incidence of infection.

The decentralized financial marketplace obviously has largely weathered this year's economic storm. While Cryptocurrency marketplace has remained relatively stable, it however has continued to mature, compared with the prosperity of ICO; this new financial pattern may have a greater impact on Ethereum.

Ethereum provides the foundation for DeFi, as it is currently the global standard for smart contracts on which mortgage loan agreements can be secured. So there is reason to believe that the growth of this ecosystem will be very beneficial to Ethereum, because it will place itself at the core of the entire financial landscape.

According to Defi Pulse's survey, as the DeFi market continues to maintain rapid growth, the DeFi market's total locked value (TVL) is close to $1 billion. Since the market collapse caused by the pandemic in mid-March caused TVL to fall to $550 million, DeFi has returned to 77% of its current level.

TVL (USD) is calculated by multiplying the total balance of Ether and ERC-20 tokens held by the DeFi smart contract by their current U.S. dollar price.

Decentralized finance markets have largely weathered the economic storm this year and continue to mature despite the crypto market remaining relatively flat. This new financial landscape could have a much greater impact on Ethereum than the ICO boom.

Ethereum provides the foundation for DeFi since it is currently the global standard for smart contracts upon which collateralized crypto borrowing and lending protocols operate. It stands to reason then that growth in this ecosystem will be very bullish for Ethereum as it positions itself at the heart of an entire financial landscape.

The total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi markets is just shy of a billion dollars according to Defi Pulse. Since the pandemic induced market crash in mid-March that caused TVL to drop to $550 million, DeFi has made a 77% recovery to current levels.

TVL (USD) is calculated by taking the total balance of ether and ERC-20 tokens held by DeFi smart contracts and multiplying them by their current price in USD.

I can see that he did referred to the original article by putting a link at the end so I don’t know if the plagiarism rule can be applied here. Spamming the forum, for sure.

Nope. Plagiarism is simply putting all the words as your own regardless of the link indicated in your post. Copy-pasting the whole article with no other own words by the user is not a good practice and must not be tolerated. He doesn't even put the whole article in a quote or a code but instead lazily migrate the whole article in the forum.

Meanwhile, Spamming is just posting irrelevant posts/replies that mostly has one single subject in a lot of post (mainly promoting something across the forum). Both plagiarism and spamming are punishable with either permaban or a negative feedback depending on the admin.

I understand your point but I am not aware that anyone has been punished for plagiarism if they cited the source of the article in their post. True, it would be better if he quote the text and added some additional (his own) content to the article. That would make real sense for a forum discussion.

[Rikafip]

If he shared the source, does he pretend that those are his own words?

Copy-pasting the whole article with no other own words by the user is not a good practice and must not be tolerated.

Agree on that, it is indeed lazy and it shouldn't  be tolerated. Least he could do is leave his opinion.

Maybe it would be best to report that post as low value so it gets deleted. Looking at his post history, he doesn't do that all the time, so maybe temporary or perma ban immediately would be kinda too strict.

3 plagiarism cases, all  accounts could belong to the same person as there is same M.O in all cases, and some interesting merit transfers.

1st case

He even got merit for this post, and all he did is copied someone else that made the same post few hours before.

This is a 1st. The first company with 2 CEOs.

Will an AMD miner be the only option available or will some love be shown to the many Nvidia card miners?

Then another post made by @araburukuma888, and again he did the same thing, copied an olded post from the same thread

Let me edit the post, and try to make it a bit clearer. Sorry about that.

Another interesting thing about those 3 users is that all of them both woke up around the same time after long break, and all got the merit from same account, gameparadise007 for those plagiarized posts. And those merit transfers happened on the same day, June 28th, within 4 minutes.

Whether it's the case of merit sale or sending it to his alt accounts I don't know, but something fishy is going on here, can't be coincidence.

The cryptocurrency industry is still very young and therefore the possibility for high profit is still there. Whether you will be able to board the train and rip the reward as an early adopter, it’s certain that just by buying and holding Bitcoin or other major cryptocurrencies you can still multiply your funds within days.

Another example from a user: crypto1010

One of the reasons why blockchain technology is not being widely used in the government and business sector is because of its anonymity. Guys just don't know who's doing what and people are scared about it. Blockchain is still an unfamiliar technology when it comes to regulation. We trust the cryptography, the protocols, the software, the computers, and the network, but this trust must be embedded in larger governance systems.

Existing major enterprise solutions are neither distributed (Hyperledger + Corda) nor have a focus on privacy. There is little to no progress here and these solutions are essentially just glorified databases.

Is this what's preventing wide-spread adoption and will a platform with a regulatory compliant identity layer be a solution? I think once governments start using this, they'll understand the technology more and the rest should follow.

It was the first time in March that the Misk website raised the issue of spy on a clipboard. The article, published by Misk, explained how popular apps on iOS 13 read their clipboard information without the user's knowledge and permission. These softwares were a number of social media, games and news agencies, among which are large letters such as TikTok, New York Times, Weibo, CNBC and a number of other softwares.

Clipboard snooping first caught the attention of the media back in March, following the pioneering work of developer duo Mysk. In an article earlier this year, they outlined how popular apps in iOS 13 were reading the clipboard of iOS users without their knowledge, or their permission. Culprit apps included social media, games, and news, including big names like TikTok, the New York Times, CNBC, 8 Ball Pool, Weibo, and more.

New data shows that despite the current economic downturn and the flow of capital from financial firms to the digital currency market, micro-investors are increasing their inventory.

 A recent exchange of ZURB derivatives released last week shows that more small investors are entering the field. However, many believe that the acceptance of digital currencies by large financial institutions and investors is the main factor in raising the price of these currencies.

Nearly half of Twitter users believe that the price of bitcoin will not reach $ 50,000 by 2021

In recent weeks, discussions have intensified over the work of renowned Bitcoin analyst (PlanB), and its supply-side accumulation (S2F) model. Some believe that his model and theory are logical and valid, while others are unsure.

According to a news report, on July 3, the analyst conducted a poll and asked the Bitcoin community whether they would accept the accumulation model.

On July 3rd, the analyst put the community to a vote, asking whether or not they believe in the model. The results were almost split down the middle.
