All kinds of Bitcoin Giveaways are SCAMS
That's a little too harsh I think. There are lots of real giveaways out there whose main reason is to promote the website or the associations. I have not myself received anything from them but I know somebody who did.
Maybe you said that because you haven't received anything from giveaways? Just kidding, don't be too difficult with giveaways, I think if your mind is clear enough, you will be able to tell the difference between the fake/ scam giveaways and the real ones.

That doesn't only happen on YouTube because there are also people trying to share that one on Telegram. This isn't new to the industry but if you're observant and vigilant you'll never fall for this lousy scam attempt. Unless Elon Musk make an announcement live on YouTube then I wouldn't bite such clickbait being shared by these random guys.
That sounds normal to all of us when talking about these kinds of scams. What I am wondering is that why are people are so easy to fell into that. I know using such a famous company can get a lot of people to get baited but believing in something out of Internet is just really crazy to me.

Another SpaceX scam has reappeared, why is that?

Recently I have read news about a scam that involves SpaceX, a well-known company, that declared to be giving away Bitcoin.
Quote
A Spacex bitcoin scam has frequently appeared on Youtube, claiming to give away BTC. Its promo video features the recent SpaceX launch with two NASA astronauts and an interview with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The scammers claim that anyone sending bitcoin to them will be “airdropped” twice the amount sent.
I have dug a little down to this and found out that this kind of scam method has appeared years ago. Now it's back and there are people who claimed to be scammed.
Why is everyone keeps getting scammed by something so obvious and repeatedly happened? If a big company like SpaceX really wants to hold an event like that, what should they do to prove people that they're real?

From the beginning of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, there were a lot of applications of Cryptocurrencies that people can think of. They even made a list of what Cryptocurrency can and possibly be able to do.
Quote
  • Investment
  • Mining
  • Paying for service
  • Purchasing for goods
The two things I am wondering is using Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency as a payment method. I'm sure that everyone has used them to pay things before but the applications in that field aren't that much. What I am asking is that what needs to happen to trigger the governments, the big cooperations, or the people themselves to start using Bitcoin as a main Payment method?

That idea might work though.
Hm people really believe in big things from the governments or from the big, truthful company like NASA. They might see a Bitcoin advertisement somewhere in their life like on a wall, on a website, or on a small piece of paper they give you at the intersection but those kinds of advertisements are not as truthful and convincing as those from the governments or NASA or something else. Maybe taking this idea into the real-life will convince a lot of people to buy Bitcoin and to believe in Bitcoin. I am looking forward to seeing an advertisement like this in the near future.

Re: Bitcoin is not suitable as a currency, it's a store of value

Today, i was discussing with my friend about bitcoin, and we argued that the world is trying to make bitcoin look like a currency, replacing fiat majorly and used as payment everywhere.

I want to ask a question, if there is a Bitcoin ATM card, and you want to use it to pay bills such as an hotel booking, will the payment reflect instantly while the atm machine or Miners still has to process the transaction?

Also, let’s say in the aspect of payment for services, would you have to wait for minutes? Or hours if there are large transactions to be processed, we are talking of when adoption eventually takes place in the world.
Remember what happened to binance yesterday when India lifted the ban on cryptocurrency, even binance exchange had to do a quick maintenance.

For me, i do not think bitcoin can replace fiat totally, because when their are larger transactions to be processed, it takes hours or even a day, except you have to pay Higher fees to process your transaction.

I will love several suggestions below, to further enlighten and brighten my knowledge.
The thing is that if Bitcoin doesn't serve the purpose of paying things, sooner or later it will vanish. The belive to be able to use Bitcoin to pay things in the future is one of the core thought of everyone who owns Bitcoin, without it, people will start to ask themselves questions like 'why the f am I holding a things that don't have a value, even gold can be used to traded for things'. Bitcoin is still a new thing in the world so that it needs to have something familiar with a daily basis so that there can be new ones taking steps into it.

Re: How can the corona virus end Faster and economy reopen

So far, the corona virus have been a nightmare to the world and this needs more advanced tech to get stopped.
The corona virus is said to be in the air and has some limit of time to spend in the air.
But the virus keep spreading even if it cant spend long in air or anywhere.
After all the lockdowns in every country, the virus still keep spreading.

So, according to my opinion, I think there is a group of people behind this virus and the only faster way to stop it is by getting the people behind the spread.
As ive seen so far, I know there will be a technology for this and probably, blockchain tech might help also.
Corona virus pandemic is acting like it's gonna be around for long and this will affect a lot the world economy because this is like a kind of war.

Also do you have any idea from there?
The thing you said is likely to be true.
There is much research about the Coronavirus and some have proved that Coronavirus is actually man-made or at least it's not from nature. Despite that, I still think finding the origin of the Coronavirus is difficult if not impossible. I think the Coronavirus creator has thought about the effect of the virus and have some back-up plans as well as some ways to prevent him/ her self from being tracked down.
So yeah, people will have to and should depend on medication and science to solve this Coronavirus problem.
