Looks like its time for me to learn embalming. This job pays a lot by the way.
This has got to be my career path in the next few months, the more I see this to be a very stable job is because only a few people can stand stitching the dead.

But hold on, can't they develop a robot arm to do all these stuff? 

Recently, a huge reserve of rare Earth was discovered in Sweden. This deposit could be worth billions and shift the geopolitical balance between Europe and China. Yet that deposit won't be dug and used due to enormous environmental concerns about mining operations. The cost for a clean extraction would be too high.

It doesn’t work like that.
Firstly, China has to go through exactly the same steps the Western world took. It might be shorter in time and quicker to learn, but they have to go the full route without skipping anything.
Secondly, the kind of retaliation you suggest would immediately be broken by some opportunistic player. It’s not a credible mechanism.

BSV craze was nuts. Craig wright crashed bitcoin down to like 8k or something crazy like that. I wish I sold my house and capitalized on that as basically everyone wishes lol.  That was just a short time ago too, pretty wild!

Are people still stuck on this thing?!

Preventing abuse of the protocol and not relaying transactions that are exploiting it is not called censorship. If it were then bitcoin would have always been censored because from very early days we introduced standard rules that have been preventing a large number of abusive usage of Bitcoin and are still not relaying a lot of non-standard transactions.

Well, Bitcoin is definitely solving the problem of governments and banks taking money's value away from the people by infinitely printing more money, basically stealing money from their own people in a way...

More work has to be done, Bitcoin alone will not be able to handle it.

Ton blockchain have driven wider adoption of cryptocurrency and alot of newbies into cryptocurrency came in through the tap to earn promotion that came with multiple ton based projects, and the exposure of telegram cryptocurrency features, so for me it's a good development if the trend and development keep at the positive side going forward.

Whales do exist, but let's not forget that they aren't the elite chosen by the system, but rather ordinary people like us who took risks in the early days.
Bitcoin doesn't close its doors to anyone. Anyone, from anywhere, can participate without discrimination. This is the difference from the old system, which was full of privilege.
So, in my opinion, Bitcoin isn't creating a new elite; instead, it's dismantling old monopolies and opening up equal opportunities for everyone.

I think it is a limitation that people who do not even have bank accounts can have their own Bitcoin wallets. You don't even need to have passbooks or something, and you could still send and receive Bitcoin. It's most likely that all are equal, but the opportunity to buy it is different for everyone. It depends on what aspect it is, in my opinion.

But did you know that this is not new? This may not be as common as X (formerly known as Twitter) hack but we have reported many hacks that someone's discord server would be hacked by hackers and be used to do some malicious things that can lead to theft of victims coins. I even posted some on this forum in the past. It is very possible that it might now be on the rise, people need to be very careful.

Thank you for the headsup, considering I am an active user of Discord.

KuCoin exchange has actually suspended the withdrawal of funds from their customers who Recieved bitcoin together with this addresses

In as much as we all know this was a coincidence nobody’s problem it shows that self custody should be adhere to seriously when receiving bitcoin.

Most of us who used KuCoin and other exchanges to recieve payment need to take note that there are many risks involved because of some exchanges policy and it is best to use wallet and then probably move your bitcoin out from the wallet to exchange to sell. This is usually the best practice when Receiving bitcoin.

Many forum members has been campaigning of not store your bitcoin with exchange address but many of us continue to ignore such information, it seems that many information tender here some of us doesn't value such,

Bitcoin was created to be a currency to serve as an alternative to fiat. It was not created to solve financial inequality. But it has become an asset held for profit-making due to its volatility.  A report showed that about 1% of Bitcoin holders control 99% of BTC supply, which means if the price keeps increasing, a new set of elites with be created.

There used to be an inequality formerly with when it comes to opportunities to invest, I mean those times when you must have a serious amount of money before you can pursue any investment. Bitcoin removed that inequality, people of different financial levels can now invest in their own capacities.

20% more Bitcoin was achievable from the largest dozen or so.  In theory if you managed to nail the high trading point of each of them more would be possible, but there were people who actually achieved a 20% gain.

I'm doubtful.  I think they pulled away a good number of idiots and fraudsters that otherwise would have been a greater nuisance in Bitcoin and depleted the funds of some fairly bad actors.  It's true that bitcoin sometimes gets blamed for stupidity in other blockchains but at least you can so "no, that was poocoin, not Bitcoin"-- which is a better situation than the same bullshit having happened in Bitcoin.

Question is did the benefits exceed the harms, I'm not sure.  But I do know that people having the freedom to actualize their beliefs (however stupid they are) is a fundamental good.  The same freedom that lets dumbass altcoins exist is what makes it possible for Bitcoin to exist.  I think we should give them some benefit of doubt.

It's sad and scary to know there are so many sheep like yourself who think the government can do whatever it wants,
and no one should ever dare question them. That is the anti-thesis of what bitcoin is about and why it was created. 

Someone like yourself would feel right at home in North Korea or Saudi Arabia. I wouldn't be surprised if you are from one those places.

"BEFORE" the listing = "PRIOR"

Not sure where we got tangled.

This is wrong though, if a coin is seized then it means the person that received the coin the first place did it illegally but I want believe that the coin has an origin, why not send back the coin to the original owner. I can't imagine someone coin was hack and lose everything they have fault for only for another country to hold into it. The only coins that government is supposed to keep is only when someone use it for terrorism or use to trade illegal goods.

I remember how silk road Bitcoin was sieze years back, he even went for prison for it because it was reported that the Bitcoin in his possession were gotten under the influence of dark web and any activities on dark web is illegal, he was later pardon but all the Bitcoin was taking by the government which was understandable, he got back though because people still donate some Bitcoin for him after his release, that's one power message of a decentralized community.

In many cases this is near impossible or does not make economic sense. Should they spend $100m in taxes to track down, account and reimburse victims $10m in value? No.

A "seized asset" implies something that was stolen by criminals from their victims.

In that case the seized asset should be given back to the victims.

The government has no right to hold on to it or sell it off for its own benefit.

If so then that would give government a perverse incentive to falsely accuse you of stealing
and provide them an excuse to seize your bitcoin (even when you legitimately own it and never stole anything).

From a crypto-trading perspective, there's nothing wrong with being involved in PI. However, before the listing, there are lots of PI delusional thinking that it will be worth $100 right away at the listing, and even comparing it to how bitcoin was progressing.

Though for some it might be possible, what's wrong is the mindset that it will happen right away once it gets listed.

Too much expectation that the PI will give them a life-changing moment.

. And one funny thing about them is that they tend to believe that one day 1 Pi will be able to buy a car, lol.

Most probably the crypto related AI will become like NFT and it won't be a big deal, but at the same time we are talking about something that is getting different here, and it's going to be a lot better and won't face that much trouble. Because AI itself will grow and continue to grow, not the crypto version, not projects that uses AI, I mean the one that is just related to AI itself, like Gemini, chatgpt, midjourney and all that. If they can do a better job there, then we can definitely see it be a lot better.

So there is no need to look for it in the crypto world, considering the big companies already spent countless billions on it, and nothing in this space will have that funding to start doing something similar.

AI will probably end up much like NFTs.  It is mostly hype, there is good, there is bad but at the end of the hype the truly useful aspects of it remain.  In the case of NFTs, I do not even know if there is any useful aspect.  For AI, it will likely remain solid in areas where it can actually help.  Have you ever interacted with an AI?  Have you seen what it can do?  Sometimes it can surprise you by how much it can do, other times it may be surprisingly stupid.  I doubt it will work as good as a group of human minds could.  It may help with precision, but even there you may see errors.  Humans will stop rather quickly when an error occurs, but if an AI thinks there is no error, it continues to do what it should not do potentially causing way more damage and expenses than a group of employees could.

Further more, what even is AI?  People barely even know what it is.  Nowadays every thing that is programmed is called that way for marketing purposes.

You know what might help is something for the miners can use to cover the mining electrical costs. Can also be used to help lower the carbon footprint. Another coin could help Bitcoins it's just so many coins have been bad for the ecosystem. That's what happens when you let the people decide. This democracy idea is bad a Republic idea maybe better untill society grows the fuck up. Id like to give it another shot and create something that can really assist like batman and robin.
