We always see this kind of movements in the market, until now there is nothing strange, the curious thing starts when they move it to smaller accounts to sell little by little later, maybe try to create FUD again to lower prices even more.

Yeah, now I would have thought that the Lighting network would be mainstream, but apparently progress is slow right now, clearly segwit and segwit 2 are not enough, it is true that most transactions take up to 30min and for a crypto as usable as bitcoin, is not ideal if we want to engage with more people

There can be several factors, maybe you sent a low commission and that's why it's taking so long, I always try to send the highest in periods like this, is less than 1 dollar and they make the transaction in 10 or 30min, so it's pretty good for me, especially that I'm always in trouble when I'm trading with btc haha.

That is a big problem that must be solved, thank goodness we are already in the process of creating better projects that do not base their way of working on the negative proof of work, I have heard of proof of community and proof of stake, are simply names for different types of reward systems and in one of those it is possible that there is the answer.

And what people don't understand is that it will continue after bitcoin, everyone thinks bitcoin makes it easier, but as long as there is cash, there will still be money laundering, since cash is the most anonymous way to have money, it is practically untraceable, unless you put one of those detectors that banks use.

Although I don't really like your theological approach to the subject, I respect it, since anyone is free to choose to have their beliefs, but if I want to advise you, don't take btc as a divinity, it's simply a technology that will help us along the path of technological evolution, as good as cloud computing and others, so don't praise it so much because it can let you down.

I would simply tell you that it is digital money that can be used to make transactions with few fees and in record time even if they are international, it is true that we have to invent easier ways to explain to people the use of bitcoin, because when you start talking about cryptography and how the blockchain works, we usually lose their attention.

I imagine that many of those anarchists found a safe heaven in bitcoin and that's why they want to promote anarchism from there, but I think good governments make a country stronger, not vice versa, although I think they have a lot of power now and so I support the use of bitcoin to gain a little power in the economy, I also think that with the help of the government we can improve everything much more.

I think I like more the idea that Satoshi is a symbol more than a person, personally yes, of course, it gives me some curiosity, but you know that they always say that you do not know your idols, that I think with Satoshi too, I prefer to see it as an idol that gave humanity a technological push at no cost, for me is quite altruistic what he did, although I know that he surely also benefits from it.

I believe that the world will be digital with the help of bitcoin or without it, surely if the blockchain is not successful, there will be many more options when digitizing those around us, as you can see and almost most of the purchases and sales are with online transactions, so it will happen sooner rather than later.

You should forget about the airdrops and faucets, these only work well in bull runs, since there is a lot of money entering the market, the best thing you can do now is to try to make bounties or side-jobs and charge in cryptos, despite this bear market, cryptos continue to generate many jobs, from writers, translators to programmers, all will have a space here.

I think bitcoin should be kept away from such deals, I think ripple can fulfill that work easily, bitcoin simply has to serve as a method of payment and transfers and would not make any sense to add a functionality with PayPal and its archaic rules, we're here to avoid that kind of economic institutions and their control over us.

Right now I measure the success of bitcoin taking a look at the adoption and volume, I think bitcoin was made to make transactions and replace or at least complement the traditional banking system, so I'm looking at the weekly volume, to know how much has moved and if interest in the public continues despite the low prices.

Haha I don't pretend to be hypocritical, because the idea of being here for the money is very attractive for many, (including me) but for now as I'm doing quite well I don't need more, so I would be interested in the certifications of bitcoin and blockchain in general, this technology fascinates me.

Of course, it is very important to move away or avoid any form of negativity that has the ecosystem at this time, this same forum can be an example, every 3 posts 1 is talking about the end of bitcoin, as if these dips did not happen every year and in the end cryptos recovered ... always recovered.

You can try it, there is no good intention that can damage the ecosystem more, unfortunately, the bad news travel faster and generate more FUD, so it is normal that this happens, also helps very little that lately there is not much good news about btc, I think we really are in a bad year, at least speaking economically.

This can be an opportunity, but you also have to be aware of what this entails, we do not know if we can lose our investment quickly, for example, we saw a drop of almost $2,000 in less than a week, and if another is due to happen? of course, it can also go up, but in this bear market, I'm not very sure.

In an environment as little regulated as this one, it should not be any surprise, it is important to know that the scams usually occur by unscrupulous people and absent-minded users, always it is necessary to take care of the projects that we join, to make our investigation as it is due, not to regret it later.

Good projects usually have good managers who communicate constantly with investors, also innovate at least every month, making constant progress even if it's slow, bad projects usually don't communicate with the community at all and you can't find any real information about the development team or what the project is really about.

It's a bit risky and you need to have some knowledge of finance and economics if you want to be kind of successful, so I would put it in the same place as stock trading, they can be extremely lucrative professions, but also very stressful and risky, so do it at your own risk, but educate yourself first on the relevant issues to be a bit prepared.
