Re: The University of Tampa is offering its first Bitcoin course.

Anyway, I think it's quite exaggerated to say about having the first bitcoin course to be taught there. Maybe as a University, it does makes sense but there have been a lot of Bitcoin courses all over the web and done by the early adopters and people who contributed a lot of it.

Yeah, the KOL is wrong, it's not the first-ever bitcoin course. Not even as far as universities are concerned as OP has already given an example of a university who came first. I'm glad OP corrected it in the title — it is more appropriate that way.

I do wonder if the KOL just put it wrongly or did it on purpose to make his post more catchy. 🤔 or maybe he actually had no idea, though I must say one quick search is all it takes to know.
Maybe they meant to say that this is the first ever Bitcoin course at this university, not worldwide? Even in this case it is a bit too strongly worded in this case too given the prevalence of these courses elsewhere as Potato Chips said.

Re: To have kids or not to? Your opinion from economy perspective

Parents of children in poorer countries rely on them as domestic slaves.  The more girls they have, the more boys they can support.    But there is no reason to have children to help you the same way there is no reason to plant trees for CO2 capture - both will be destroyed before they become net positive.
You get it. God and other reasons are just excuses for their selfishness and greed. There is no love involved except narcissistic delusions. If one is very poor, then one should not have children.

Its such a modern failure that we accept so many people are not there who should be and populations and countries are shrinking in many parts of the world, this is a kind of self defeat others think it best somehow.
At this point a stable population would be much better than growing and of course than a shrinking one. Population does not need to indefinitely grow, and there is nothing wrong with short periods of shrinking either.

Yes, there have been many many micro-level (or crypto-specific) crisis, but no macro-level economic crisis like 2008 or 1929 during Bitcoin lifetime.
Then short it or you are just full of shit. Show us your open short positions.  Smiley

The problem of today's world is that stupid and poor people are having kids, and educated wealthy people are not. It is a consequence of the welfare state, no welfare or aid should be given to these uneducated parasites.

Decision to having kids or not should not be taken from the perspective of the economy situation, because we basically have to depend on what we can afford to take and prefer to have when it comes to child birth, because I've seen people who can't even afford to manage a living despite that they only have a single child, while some were having many children and affording to live a desired standard of living, everyone goes for what they want at last.
Of course it should. The only reason why many children are suffering is because their parents didn't consider their or the wider economical perspective before having them. Most people in undeveloped places should have never had children, prove me wrong.

Are you kidding? If you are serious, you are an idiot.

Yes, Bitcoin is never fallen below 10% its ATH (with one exception: second part of 2011). But Bitcoin has never seen an economic crises as well. The following creases seems to be deeper than the 2008 one because the boom accumulation has been much greater than in the previous time (before 2008). The bigger boom - the bigger room (for crisis).
Bitcoin has survived all kinds of crises. There has been crisis after crisis since it has been created. Everything short of WW3 and complete economic collapse. If you believe this is true, then take out a loan using everything you own as collateral and short it with 100x. If you won't, then you are just being an idiot with threads like this.  Roll Eyes

Re: Can Axie Infinity make a comeback in the bull run?

I don't think so, unless they rebranded their game with new features. I believe MMORPG genre has superior sustainability chances on long run, because they have more features and different activities players can engage, so it's less likely to become boring.

Unfortunatelly, nobody explored MMORPG genre efficiently in Blockchain games niche yet. There is a lot of potential on it, and the developer who identifies this opportunity, while working on a serious a long lasting project will surely be very successful, possibly becoming the main MMORPG game in the world!
Absolutely fucking wrong. There is no need for any game to use blockchain technology, especially not an MMORPG. This is the trick that you have been sold by shitcoin creators.

While this does sound promising, I would like to see the contents of this course first. It really depends on who is teaching it and why.

JUST IN: First-ever Bitcoin course will be taught at the University of Tampa. Bitcoin education should be required.
It should, but I don't think the powers at hand will allow that to happen at least not yet.

Re: USDT and USDC Establish Their Own Networks

What does it mean that they will be only used for payments? I know that almost all those stable coins are mainly used as a trading instrument. This is can explained how the first USDT stable coin was made by a trading platform then expanded yo other networks. Means that USDT at the time weren't used outside of those platforms before supported by known networks.
I didn't read anywhere that it will be only used for payments, but that payments will me one of the main uses. Where did you see that?

Users can still use other stable coins in different network layers.
Almost all other stablecoins are junk or extremely risky.

Bitcoin maxi means that Eric Trump thinks Bitcoin is the only real cryptocurrency, all other tokens are not that important.The news: "Eric Trump said at the recent Wyoming Blockchain Symposium that he’s a “bitcoin maxi,” predicting $175K BTC this year and $1 million eventually".
I would not take his word for it, these people are not very committed to anything other than making money. They will say and do whatever it takes to earn them money, they change their public opinions all the time.

This prediction by elites like them can further increase Bitcoin's Dominance, which may lead to the existence of altcoins in the future.
This sentence does not make sense.

This is not good for anyone. I don't want to use another network when I need to use USDT or USDC. I wonder what is the real reason behind this.

ETH on the other hand have one big reason why people still uses stablecoin in there which is to find yield from onchain defi.
Even if USDT and USDC establish their own blockchain, ETH won't lose its TVL.
Of course it will, a lot of the TVL comes from these tokens. If they withdraw them from the other chains, the TVL will go down.

The risk of this is minor. It exists but it happens very rarely compared to the number of successful transactions. There are many things you can do depending on how unsafe you feel:
1. Use AML tools. Some are free others cost money. You can analyze the coin you received before making a transfer, or you can ask to analyze the coin before the P2P transactions.
2. Decentralized mixing like JoinMarket. Without even knowing if the coins are problematic, you can send them into mixing and hope you get good ones.

In reality you will not be labeled as a criminal as long as you have proof that this comes from some transactions. You may lose the coins for a very long time or forever though. Of course, the same would happen if you received money on your bank account from a very suspicious or dangerous source.

Re: Has Bitcoin sold its soul to speculation?

So I decided to create my account to ask you guys, if you think BTC true potential, of giving individuals financial independence and direct control without relying on banks or large institutions, is being undermined by speculation and the lack of real-world applications?
If you are doubting real-world applications, then it is clear to me that you don't understand Bitcoin. Bitcoin's existence itself is the biggest killer real-world application.

Speculation, yes. And not just on the asset’s price, but also on what it supports and where it’s being used. I’ve got nothing against people doing it, freedom means exactly that. But here’s the thing, there are so many problems that could be solved with the proper use of this asset, without even giving up control over it, but instead, most are chasing the quick buck, the 1000%, the gambling, the trading, the easy, I'm I right?
You are confusing the location of the problem. This is not a problem of Bitcoin, it is a problem of society. Bitcoin is the best tool that we have ever had, expecting it to fix society is just crazy thinking.

Litecoin is losing its status as a silver of crypto. People started to abandon it as it gives no value other than capital gain. You get nothing when holding LTC, i think that's the reason people are not massively using it as investment.
I agree with Litecoin's assessment although it is less relevant now. Why would is use Litecoin when I can use Lightning Network on Bitcoin? Much faster, cheaper and safer.

As for Monero, since the regulation is getting stricted to the crypto. It's impacted all of centralized exchange sites, which has become central of liquidity. The order by regulators to ban anon coin from cex is giving massive impact to the monero. It's hard to sell or buy it since it can be done only through p2p.
For this you are making a mistake. All of the reasons you have provided are reason for which one should buy Monero, and not reasons against. It can also be seen as factors that suppress market performance but it is not working that well.

It will be interesting to see if there's a LTC ETF and how the market could react to this. For XMR I don't think an ETF is realistic in the current political landscape, but it seems not to need institutional money.
Monero always has demand because of its unique and strong features, it does not need artificial utility.

- The Monero community has built a lot of tools in the last 2-3 years which allow to trade it P2P (via atomic swaps, for example) and thus you don't need the CEXes anymore.
Do you maybe know where this community is the most active? I don't see much of them on this forum here?

In Brazil many famous influencers from instagram and tiktok had to attend a CPI investigation from the Senate to testify about their gambling advertisements. But many powerful senators like Ciro Nogueira were caught taking private flights with the owner of casinos from our country. I made a post talking about this before on another topic
That right there is the primary reason why things are not done against these kind of things. Corruption. If the people in charge were not corrupt, there is no way that they would not want to rule on these things. Who would not want to protect their own kids from such manipulations and dangers?

No. There is only 1 reason why these projects include the word AI, it is to generate hype on an otherwise pretty useless project. TAO for example stands no chance compared to its centralized counterparts. The AI agents you mention? Remember how much hype it generated for a few months and how everyone would be using them? All lies, now it is completely dead. Nobody cares about it anymore, which confirms it had no utility from the beginning.

Realistically you don't need the safest setup of wallet. Let's be honest, you don't have enough money to need this. If you really wanted to go all in, you create something ridiculous like a multisig wallet that mixes several hardware wallets and airgapped laptops. Using this to ever make a transaction would be very annoying. Backing all of it up would be a nightmare and the chance of losing some of the backups is very high. Stick to simple suggestions of prior users such as using commercial hardware wallet.

You should remind your friend more strongly, and tell him that it will all be in vain, if you want to have a house, car, & nice clothes, save and work hard, if possible invite him to invest, it is not impossible to get rich in gambling, but look, only 1 in 100 can, and even then most of them will go bankrupt again
Whenever I come across people like this I just feel for them because they are just doing what they think is right In ignorance without knowing what will be the effect of what they are doing. It is difficult to to convince people to invest when they are not ready to invest and since this person's interest to win big I'm gambling their is nothing you will tell this person that will change is mind from gambling . People like this always learn from their experience and not of that of others or from the advice of people.
They are a terrible kind of people. Does one really need to jump off of building and break your bones to learn that it is dangerous?  Cheesy I agree with you, many of these kinds can't be persuaded and even having them as your friends is bad unless you are on a similarly low level.
