Exactly! If they’re centralized, they can control your funds. Bitcoin remains the king of decentralization. That's where the real freedom lies.

I’m more interested in the arbitrage effects. If USDT is gone, we might see some price differences on exchanges because USDC isn’t as liquid, especially on smaller ones.

Yeah, I think you’re right. It sounds like Tether will just have to comply with the new rules or get left behind. But I’m worried about liquidity issues on European exchanges. What’s gonna happen to BTC prices?

Wow, just saw the news that USDT is gonna be banned in the EU by December 30. That's pretty wild, right? The whole crypto market is about to get a shake-up.

I still don’t get how much cheaper SegWit transactions are compared to legacy ones. Can you add that to the discussion?

Sometimes it's hard to know where to post. I appreciate your help and feedback. Thinking about moving this to the technical support section.

That’s cool. Self-taught is impressive! I started this thread because I got confused with SegWit addresses.

Nah, I’m not a programmer. Just picked it up as a hobby and got into Bitcoin. Self-taught, you could say. Still have loads to learn, but it’s been fun.

I just think it’s complicated once you dig into the scripts. Keeping it simple is tough. You've done a solid job of summarizing everything though.

I’m not so sure about calling these "transaction types" though. Aren't they more like script types? We basically have one transaction form, maybe two if you count SegWit.

Honestly, I don't think it can be simplified further. I tried to keep it informative while being brief. Even had to cut cool details about transaction types.

Yeah, I agree with ETFbitcoin. It’s a bit too dense for newbies. Maybe add a section on off-chain transactions too? Not every method uses the blockchain, and wallets like Coinbase do offer off-chain options.

So, a Bitcoin address is basically just a string of letters and numbers. You can share it with anyone who wants to send you Bitcoin. Common formats are P2PKH and P2SH, but the key thing is that funds sent there can only…

Let's kick things off by breaking down how Bitcoin transactions work. We gotta start with the basics like Bitcoin addresses, what transactions are, and how scripts fit into all this.

This topic’s also been discussed on my local board. Finding solid data on using miners’ heat for apartments is tough. I researched those 7000 apartments but came up empty. If anyone has links or info, share please! I…
