Not really. I am one of the people that actually use it. They have some warnings for sure, but you should probably note I also wrote the first comment in this thread.

No. I'm not a BCH fan but it would be able to handle more transactions. It would still hit an upper bound, but it is higher than BTC, but lower than BTC lightning network. (It has some drawbacks too by not being on-chain).

Would love to understand the rationale for the down voting here. It would seem to be that the suggesting of disobedience to Government is immediately wrong. “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Just the latter really. Your unspent transaction outputs (UXTO) would move to your friends address. Bitcoins are really UXTOs.

No, that isn't how it works at all. You would broadcast a transaction to your friend for $20. It would sit in the mempool and eventually get picked up by miner and would then be forever logged in the blockchain.

They also see money from the increased valuation of the stock they are still holding. This can be used to be borrowed against or sold.

The AUD against USD dropped close to 50% in a couple of weeks in 2008. It sucked having all of my wealth in AUD at that time. Recently a similar thing happened with BTC, but at least it was after a rapid gain. Diversification is the key. h

Ban Bitcoin, but leave the futures exchange and taxes. OK.

In this scenario where your Government is doing this do you leave? Subvert? Comply? If your answer is comply, congratulations for your obedience.

It isn't called full self driving, it is called auto-pilot. In aviation, auto-pilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required. Autopilots

Until we have functional decentralised exchanges, using a common protocol would be a nice thing for humanity. Most people don't care about the bigger picture, they just want to get rich quickly, rather than try and make the world a bet

The funny thing is that I have literally only ever been "robbed" in my life twice. (As in money that was rightfully mine blatantly stolen from me). Once was from Mt Gox who I largely suspected to be insolvent, and the other was fr

I have a better solution for those that are angry at banks and wish to innovate around them. Don't use them. Build communities around you that are also happy to not use them. There are plenty of working solutions available now to be fr

Monero is one new technology that is increasing privacy significantly in an important way. I can't think of many others since they all have large downsides in delivering a better service. Brave for advertising perhaps. I can't thi

The altruist would play. By saying this you fundamentally misunderstand Bitcoin. The altruist that buys (and takes on the risk, joins the movement) is allowing somebody else to withdraw. Likely in a situation better than when they entered,

They should take a leaf out of the Telegram playbook. Snap cash was in the right direction.

It still baffles me why groups of people can't see this coming for them, time after time. (I have even seen it even be apparent in very small groups of 6 people where people in the minority actively voted against their own best interes

That is because those currencies are inflationary. Without a moderate interest rate, putting it in the bank wouldn't even be considered "saving".

They should just buy up as much (insert whatever cryptocurrency they can buy a lot of here) and announce they are switching to this as a national currency.

No True Believers believe it is going away, they believe that it will diminish in purchasing power and trust (Relative to Bitcoin - or at least cryptocurrency). So far, this trend appears to be true and continuing. Who knows how far it goes

I see, my mistake. You are suggesting that trade outside of the purview of Governments has no utility. It must be a wonderful place where you live.

That is exactly an appeal to authority and logical fallacy. It doesn't mean it isn't a helpful short cut in decision making, but it is logically incorrect. There was a point in time when enough scienticians believed that the world
