Re: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador?
⭐ Merited by JayJuanGee (1)
El Salvador has about 2% of their reserves in bitcoin. It isn't very much in the big picture. El Salvador had the USD imposed on them and it wasn't popular when that happened, bitcoin seems to be following the same path. Using and understanding bitcoin takes time and not a lot of it has passed
Re: Is it cheaper to send Bitcoin or Ethereum directly?
Sending bitcoin at 1 sat/vb is very inexpensive something like 3 or 4 cents. If the person was trying to send from a centralized exchange they would have no ability to set the fee and they would need to pay the withdraw fee which is fixed by the exchange. In my experience sending Eth has always cost more
Re: Almost lost all of my coins in an exchange last week
Very sad. I suggest you to never put money on small, fake and untrusted exchanges. Only put money in exchange that has a good reputation in the market such as binance, kucoin, bitmex, houbi etc. Our money stay safe in big exchanges. There are many fake exchanges in the market so we should avoid them.
The exchange he was using was the first one on your list of good reputation exchanges. So the instead of saying trust this or that exchange it should be said to trust no exchange and as soon as you can to get your coins into your custody. Glad that you were able to remedy the situation I'm sure that was a very stressful thing to have happen.
Re: Alert: stay away from new type of bitcoin scam
Seems like it would be easy to avoid that kind of scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Bitcoin is precious don't be foolish with it and give it without regard.
Re: At what point did you realise that Bitcoin was a failed project?
Ok, i see, so for 99% of the users of bitcointalk, the only thing that matters is if the price of BTC is going up or not. That alone is proof bitcoin is a failed project, almost nobody is using it for what it originally was intended for. What more proof do you need, its right there in front of you 
Bitcoin has proven to the whole world that it has failed and failed hard, now the only thing its good for is as a ponzi scheme, and once the ponzi pops, then what, what are we left with after the bubble ends, a corpse of a crypto.
Being the first crypto is not necessarily a good thing 12 years later, now its just an old useless dinosaur. Dont waste your time and effort with this old crap, there are much better cryptos than BTC.
Bitcoin is now just as useless as the 12+ year old computers it was first mined on. Try using a 12+ year old pc today, its useless, just as useless as BTC is for paying in a normal everyday shop.

Not really sure how bitcoin is a ponzi considering a ponzi would not allow a open ledger. And in a ponzi astronomical returns are guaranteed where as in bitcoin most people will tell you that it is a volatile asset that has the potential to lose your entire investment. So while you might not think bitcoin is a good cryptocurrency saying it is a ponzi scheme is ignorant. I buy plenty of things with lightning network so while you may be unaware of tools that allow you to use bitcoin everyday doesn't mean everyone else is the same.
Re: China Owns Us: How the Chinese Are Buying Up America
when discussing china I see that the country is very fast-developing...
even Chinese citizens are scattered in almost all cities in the world, they are famous for their diffuse nature. The US is free land, so there is no reason for them to ban Chinese citizens there. I am curious about China's relationship with the US after Biden was elected president.

Looks like they're getting ready in the event that the Dems mandate electric vehicles. I'd say they're pretty happy with the way things turned out for them.
China has been looking forward for 30 plus years. They have been very strategic in terms of inserting themselves in almost every level of production and supply.
Re: At what point did you realise that Bitcoin was a failed project?
I don't think bitcoin has failed. I have bought things with bitcoin, so therefore it is a success. I understand there may be limitations at this point but there were limitations when the first airplane was built. People kept building and making things better, in my opinion bitcoin has a long way to go before it reaches the final product.
In my country no bank will let clients send or receive cash to crypto exchanges .... very costly to buy or sell BTC now.

Can you still access services like hodlhodl or bisq or are those also unaccesible?
I have not. I figured I would decide if I want to sell bitcoin in the year 2030 by the earliest. Ive been putting money that would otherwise be sitting in a cd or savings account making almost nothing. So I'm gonna see if it gets me an early retirement in a decade.
Government has no control over bitcoin so it scares them because they are use to having some measure of control over all financial sectors. Does it scare them enough to ban it or try to prohit it? Depends on where you live but it is obvious bitcoin channels the common desire for humans to be in control of themselves.
Reading is a great thing to do when you are isolated by yourself. Try a variety of topics from entertaining to educational. Meditation and stretching are great for your body but also for you mind. We spend so much time sitting at desks or in chairs that put us in strange unnatural positions. The best way to combat that is to stretch your muscles so that as you get older you will stay limber and help prevent a lot of common problems in modern humans. Mediation helps your brain stay relaxed and calm when situations in previous times could cause you to overreact or act impulsively.
Re: The Holy Bible is the only book that gives a trusted idea of what will happen in USA
I'm not sure the bible cared or predicted anything about an election in the United States in the year 2020. I understand some people might be susceptible to over dramatization but the USA will continue on as it does after every election no matter how much someone on the internet may say otherwise.
Re: China Owns Us: How the Chinese Are Buying Up America
China owns most of the world at this point. Over the last decade they have put substantial investment and development in parts of Africa, South America and a lot of Australia. Just the way things are going at the moment the USA is too busy domestically and the majority of the world does not want to or cannot compete with China.
Re: What is the ultimate goal of illuminati world rulers
I don't know why the illuminati is so popular, I guess people need to think there is some kind of evil ruler making things bad, it makes something far more complex into something simple.
Re: Anyone else still regret not buying Bitcoin in 2011?
I learned about bitcoin then maybe in 2010 but I was in my early 20s and was more interested in other things. Probably would not have been responsible with it or kept them to see the gains a decade later. That is the way life goes can't beat yourself up over things that you didn't do.
