What would satoshis vision be today? Vision on the ecosystem be different? Cross/side chains...bridges? Or more so just very simple economy p2p txs? So no massive amounts of apps/services/games etc? There are things C does well, just like Haskell, and solidity.. I wonder if THEY would ever come to terms with interoperability. BTC, Ethereum, and Cardano (c  ,solidity,haskell) have some great things coming along.

It will not totally fail because obviously Elon Musk the Billionaire is supporting and still promoting it

Thank you for your response. Without a doubt, I'll join the Discord server. I am eager to see how the project progresses. I believe that privacy is what cryptocurrency currently lacks. Privacy is THE area in which CBDCs may differ. This privacy issue is fixed by Pandora Cash.

There is no need to try and make justifications as to why cash is bad, or why it should be replaced by BTC, which it won't. BTC is more of a second option to fiat currencies, so it won't replace fiat, BTC users don't even predict a replacement of fiat by BTC.

Instead of trying to justify why fiat is bad, i would try to focus on the justification for which BTC is great as a currency, many BTC users use fiat because they don't have any choice, so their second currency is comfortably BTC, which gives them a choice to control things themselves, no third party, no censorship or possibility of confiscation, just the owner of the funds controlling the usage. People who use centralized exchanges are using BTC like fiat and the banks, BTC ought to be used through self custody, with trading through a decentralized exchange.

This is more serious than I thought it was.

I would call it a big project to get a big investment to scam.

I just decided to create an account so I could ask you some questions. I think this technology is really cool. The biggest privacy problem might be resolved by this blockchain. I started to research this project, but I have a few concerns. Users had to scan their transactions on all other privacy coins to confirm which transaction was theirs. Clearly, this coin, Pandora Cash, operates differently. Could you please explain how this works?

Actually, it's more of an uncomfortable situation rather than a "math" one. Some of you often don't carry cents, and you'll have to deal with the change after one of you has paid the merchant. Also, it's often difficult for small businesses to have lots of liquidity of banknotes and coins. You're not going to give a $50 banknote for a <$2 transaction, because it's just considered annoying from the merchant's part.

Well, if both you and the merchant use a centralized exchange, then yeah. But, if not, you're making it less trivial. Also, lightning network provides sufficient privacy for micro-transactions.

That's the bet. Cryptocurrencies aren't going to be globally adopted until fiat currency is felt seriously and unreasonably debased. One scenario is that cash is repelled, and central banks introduce CBDC (which isn't as debased as cash, to attract). In fact, the central bank of EU has said this will happen in 2025, if I'm not mistaken.

Cash isn't superior to bitcoin, IMO. It usually annoys me to do the math for change when I'm out with friends. It's also easier to lose, and you don't have the history of your transactions (which is sometimes necessary).

Cash is "king" for different reasons actually.
Here in my inflationary country USD (cash) is king because its liquidity and how stable it is in comparison to our local currency. It is a frictionless asset.

I believe we are living during challenging times where people have had to opt for credit and loans to try to survive, in this context it is obvious to see why cash would be more appreciated, added to the anonymity and wide acceptance around the world. Still we cannot ignore the disadvantages of the inflation and the measures that could be taken by a central authority.

Granted, privacy is an important concern for many people, and there are legitimate reasons why we want to keep certain aspects of our personal lives private. I agree that many people do not want to sell their personal information and identity, however the way I see it, there are also many people who do not realize the value of their personal data, and they are willing to trade it for financial compensation.

There are many cases where people have given up their personal data for free, in exchange for some sort of service or offer. For example, if you sign up for a loyalty card at your local grocery store and get 5% off every time you shop there, then the store has just purchased your personal data from you—and they did so without having to pay anything other than the cost of producing the card itself.

There are also people who are not aware of how their personal data can be used to manipulate or influence them, or how it can be used in a way that compromises their privacy, and this is a problem. As consumers, we have to be vigilant and aware of how our data is collected, used and stored. And I believe we need to educate people about how their personal data can be used for good, and also how it can be misused by bad actors.

I think that this will hinder widespread adoption. What do all of you think?

You might be surprised, but: the need. I can't convince someone to use bitcoin if they don't care about censorship resistance, nearly instant, cheap transaction settlement and privacy if they don't care about any of those. Tell them about censorship resistance and they'll respond with "I'm not going to do anything suspicious / bad for PayPal to suspend my account". Tell them about instant transactions and they'll respond with "PayPal is fine". Tell them about the fees, and they'll respond with "Revolut charges me zero" (without minding the merchant). Tell them about privacy and... Lol. 

Now add the shitload amount of misinformation there is, the little demand, and the fluctuation in price.

Out of interest what statistics are your using to get that information and what criteria do you need to meet to be included? Is it simply websites that include 'bitcoin accepted here' on their website? Seems a lot and I bet a lot of them are scams and not legitimate businesses.

Its a new currency

Hey!
a web dev here.

One year ago I started developing my own crypto gambling casino and now I am at the stage where I need an investor to join me as a partner, in return he gets a percentage of the profits.
Budget needed: $5000-$10000

If this is something that interests you contact me for a more serious talk.

I think the appropriate title will be what is stopping BTC to use on daily basis based on the context you are proposed in you replies of this thread.

What stop me from using bitcoin is I can't find stores which accepts bitcoin rather than USD. i would love to see signs in the shop like BTC accepted here, government didn't made bitcoin as legal tender so its also not easy for the shops to accept it as which literally means government is stopping us from using BTC on a daily needs.
