Try opening links externally to see if the issue persists.

Go to Telegram > Settings > Data and Storage> Others (Open Links in)  - Change from Telegram to any other Safari/Chrome (Apple)

Go to Telegram > Settings > Chat Settings > In-App Browser - turn it off. (Android )

Thank you very much and sorry for the delay in feedback
Was still observing before making a conclusion.
It hasn't shown any ads ever since
Seems it had to do with the browser I took as default.
Realised that after turning in app browser off. After checking that my proxy was already disabled.

Re: Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit
by
Ambatman
on 16/07/2025, 11:54:09 UTC
Why did Bitcoin’s creator set a hard cap of 21 million coins?
According to the whitepaper, The cap was placed so Bitcoin can be a deflationary currency that resists inflation and maintains value over time.
Which is opposite of the current financial system
Where it's centralized, infinite and losses to inflation.

Quote
could anything lead to changing Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit?
Theoretically it's possible but enforcing it practically is nigh if not impossible
due to it's decentralized governance.
It would take major consensus(agreement) to enable such but the community would not allow such taint.
It's like saying The government would ever stop printing money.

2. Hacking: Bitcoin cannot be hacked.
It hasn't been hacked. Not it Cannot be hacked. It's theoretically possible. But the cost outweighs the benefit.

Quote
This hedges against inflation and increase financial freedom.
This is because of it's scarcity not it's value directly.


The question is very much arguable; many will present their facts and reasons for why they chose the answer they chose. Currently there is no asset that has proven to be competitive with Bitcoin

But we are in the era of change, where new impressive innovations are welcomed and accepted.
Bitcoin isn't the best in everything. But it remains the closest thing to decentralization.
As long as it continuously stays true to its protocol
I don't see anything beating it as number even in the future
Why? Because it's the face and many consider it the pioneer of cryptocurrency
If it fails it would mean cryptocurrency is a failure.
Not to mention it's mining is spanning for a century not something people would easily loss excitement about.

My personal view.

Re: Bitcoin Bloodbath: Is the Bubble Finally Bursting?

According to you, what could make Bitcoin crash as low as $10,000? What factors would cause such a major crash ?This scenario would end Bitcoin for good. Peter Schiff seems to have a different opinion regarding its usage for inflation or worth. One thing is certain, a $3,000 drop is merely a blood bath whe Bitcoin has been pumping for days, but still, the two scenarios being discussed are quite concerning.
It's Sams way Satoshi stated in a decade either Bitcoin would have large volume or nothing at all
Same applies to what Philip is saying
Personally I think depending on how Trump plan on strategic reserve pans out it could affect the price of bitcoin either way
Especially when he's leaving office.
Bitcoin is now in the spot light and we know that spotlights comes with both it's benefits and deficit.
It's either it pushes up or take it lower.
But going below $10K? That's harder than we crossing $1Million
Personal POV.

Re: Creating a transaction at the same exact second as another one

Quote
say tomorrow at 10:09:26,  then my bot will also send a transaction to B at the same exact time
Exact same time is practically impossible.
Because other nodes may timestamp it slightly differently as a result of clock drift or network delays or even miners discretion.

Like PrimeNumber said,  you can aim to have your transaction included in the same block by pushing with an attractive fee( not a sure solution, but it's one of the best you can get Imo) .
This will make it difficult to determine the exact order within that block and they would both appear the same.

I consider satoshi a smart man so I don't expect him to do something as stupid as coming out.
Besides if you talking about BTT, I think Theymos disconnected some accounts after the hack years ago.

51% wouldn't directly render it worthless perse.
If you replaced the past year with empty blocks, you would most certainly render it worthless, because it would be considered completely unreliable.
Exactly, hence why I said it ain't viable because it gets more expensive.
And the stakeholders (miners, full nodes and developers) could mitigate it before it gets worse.

Quote
Not to mention that there are solutions that evade KYC, and allow you to trade peer-to-peer.
There are and using KYC doesn't make Bitcoin centralization.
The focus is on people's perception.
If people start seeing Guns as a collectible to be kept
Doesn't stop it from being a gun
But it's majorly use has been forgotten.
Hopefully my analogy is understandable.

That's the same thing I'm saying.
All you need to do is go to this site https://talkimg.com/ and generate the photo you want then copy the link and post it on your discussion. Then someone will quote it so that the picture will show
I was waiting to add OP response after your assistance because I had this feeling he was saying it for the merit.
Maybe he just needs one but not for posting image maybe a bounty or so.

Creating another thread and specifying he can't post image because of being a member proves it

I was always skeptical about why it can't be stopped; why they cannot stop it
Bitcoin biggest strength remains it's resilience from being decentralized and the fact that world government are not fully centralized.
China outrightly banned Bitcoin, others didn't.
Another maybe minor reason it was left was that it wasn't considered a threat.


Quote
But, how much money do you really need to run a 51% attack, and then render it worthless?
51% wouldn't directly render it worthless perse.
It's biggest strength is allowing double spending and maintaining it isn't really viable with cost.

Quote
They can't attack it, because that would reveal who they are. 
Hope you are aware that 51% attack isn't the only attack that Bitcoin can face.
Stricter regulations is one (we facing it now) and it's more subtle.
such as the EU's MiCA  and U.S. proposals for stricter KYC/AML compliance.

Like I said above, Bitcoin biggest strength remains decentralisation
Rather than attacking, the government realize it's better to coexist
More like with Gold.

Never enjoyed going to work on Monday's ,but waking to bitcoin price this morning
Made me Smile to work. Joy indeed cures stress.


It is approximately certain that with in one decade, not Satoshi, but other holders can take the place.

With the rate at which we going, I don't think a single man can ever own up-to satoshi supposed holdings.
Remaining coin to be mined is barely a million.

Nowadays, I’ve started to lose friends over these arguments, and I'm not good online Instagram or Discord either.
This isn't something worth losing Friendship over.
Rather telling them it's rising, let them know why it's rising
And if they are still adamant about it being a scam
You back off.
I presume they are adults and should be ready to bear the consequences of their actions whether good or bad.




Personally, I barely talk about Bitcoin outside this forum.

Re: Bitcoin fee security and the future
by
Ambatman
on 13/07/2025, 16:21:43 UTC
The biggest issue is whether transactions fees alone will be enough to sustain the needed hashpower to secure the network.
Not tested. Nor can we accurately predict it without making certain assumptions.
Quote
This is generally no big deal when current block rewards are 3.125 bitcoin each. The fees are a nice bonus, but they don't make or break bitcoin miners as of today.
We are not talking about today, but when block reward ends and fee becomes the only driver.


One thing I'm sure of is that the likelihood of all miners living Is extremely low
We have difficulty adjustment Incase there's a reduction in miners which would increase those remaining profit
And in turn may attract in more miners.

It is just annoying that spambot ring, Escanaker, Norobilox, Branpakin, & now Calobitl, who registered a few minutes ago and straight away jumping into spamming the forum. Is this guy crazy or mentally ill! ! It is clear they are intentionally flooding the forum with fraudulent schemes & fake swap deals. Mods should put the ban hammer to all these accounts quickly.
Hence why they are reported.
Mitchel bots usually help with that once he adds their keywords to its algorithm.

The same reason why most average or a little above average didn't buy.
Many never trusted it would survive
And those that believed in it's potential went around in building something around it
More like being pioneers.


Besides if a billionaire has gotten quite a number of Bitcoin around Say a million Bitcoin
Many would consider it a Damocles sword.

But I guess it would be that this is what I was meant to do
Easy money, No stress and No work.

Re: MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

Michael Saylor has earned $10 billion YTD, but surprisingly, he has never sold a single satoshi from his investments. He has entered the market at different prices at different times and has made huge profits at different times, but the surprising thing is that greed has not consumed him, rather he has kept greed under his control. However, we don't know Satoshi, but we see Michael Saylor as a living example of a living Satoshi among us.
That's because he's smart enough to understand that short term benefit could cost him alot.
If they do sell
Many people would loss faith in their vision and he losses his integrity
One thing a business should never 'publicly' compromise on
He gains more by holding
And keeping his position as a pioneer.

Silently MSTR stock is catching up to its ATH and other treasuries are benefiting from this breakthrough.
