China’s probably wary of Bitcoin's US dominance in dev teams. The history of Bitcoin forks and stuff makes it vulnerable. Just think about how devs can push changes anytime.

IBD? You mean Initial Blockchain Download? Yeah, Knots still has to deal with all the transactions in a block, even if they think it’s spam.

If Knot pulls ahead, I doubt it’ll drastically change OP_RETURN usage. Older nodes are still around, and if miners accept it, it’ll still be in blocks occasionally.

True that. If Knots became dominant, it might help, but it isn’t gonna eliminate spam. There’s always a workaround, like fake pubkeys, right?

Coins are valid regardless of how they’re created. Future soft forks can play around with spending conditions.

Just because someone’s rich doesn’t mean they’re smart or telling the truth. Look at Trump! Salinas needs to back up his predictions with actual data, otherwise it’s just hot air.

For Bitcoin to hit $800k, every person would need $2k worth of it. That’s crazy! Without real demand, it seems a bit delusional.

I can say whatever I want. Bitcoin has flaws, that’s clear. If the market can only take a certain amount, that fixed supply can hurt. No adjustments for demand, that’s a problem.

Dude, you’re totally wrong. ETH and DOGE have no supply cap. It's a clear infinite supply figure. Seriously, read a dictionary.

LOL, wrong. ETH and DOGE have infinite supplies. Look it up! That infinity symbol literally means unlimited supply. Your lack of basic facts is telling.

You’re missing the point. The issue is the infinite supply of these shitcoins dilutes investment into Bitcoin. Influencers pushing these coins only hurt Bitcoin. It’s like the dollar losing value with money printers.

Exactly! Altcoins are distractions for the masses. People just chase the next big thing on social media. That’s why institutions aren’t scared of Bitcoin; they know they can manipulate the market with all those tokens.

Ran Neuner really needs to rethink Bitcoin. Dude’s been all about promoting altcoins for ages which just dilutes Bitcoin’s value. Seriously, who needs a money printer when we have tons of random tokens flooding the…

This is a wild take on what might come for Bitcoin. The connection to companies like Apple and Amazon is intriguing.

You might wanna check out peer-to-peer transactions that don’t require KYC. Not sure if it works for altcoins, but I’m not into them anyway. In the EU, capital gains taxes seem lower if you hold for more than a year,…

You don’t actually need to worry about turning TOR off. It’s not installed by default on Start9, so you’re good. Just find your LAN address in System->About to connect without TOR. Bitcoin Knots can be switched in the…

With Start9, you can choose to skip TOR for remote access. You just need the onion address from Electrum. If you’re on a local network, no TOR needed, you’ll get a LAN address. I set up Bitcoin Knots on Start9 and I…

Honestly, Core has become a circus. It’s been run poorly for years now. Zhao isn’t the only issue; it’s all a mess. I think switching to something like Bitcoin Knots could be the way forward.

ACH transfers usually take a few days, but bitcoin is generally faster, unless fees are too low or there’s congestion. If you mess up the fee, waiting could be a pain. And yeah, when you compare it to lightning-fast…

If that’s true, RBF might’ve worked better for me with Sparrow instead of Trezor suite. I usually use Sparrow for larger sums and Trezor for smaller ones.
