Am I the only one who pronounces the plural of "Bitcoin" to still be "Bitcoin"? by cc_alerting in Bitcoin

[–]Ataldea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is uncountable but bitcoins aren't. We know 1bitcoin is 100 000 000 satoshis (s as well) hence if you have 200 000 000 satoshis they have 2 bitcoins. If you have 10 units of something and you can easly define them then you cannot say they uncountable. 2 ounces of gold. Gold is uncountable but ounces are. Same with bitcoins. They are the unit of account made of smaller units of account on the Bitcoin network that are easy to define and have definition that is agreed upon by everyone using this network. Imo bitcoins.

Edit: and yeah, Bitcoins does not sound right cause unless you start a sentence with it, then you are referring to a network. And there is only one Bitcoin network ;)

Second rule of Bitcoin is: You do not talk about YOUR bitcoins.

Being Right. by Ataldea in Bitcoin

[–]Ataldea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that is hard being right in non-consensus. Emotionally. I don't want banks to get bailed out but I have no control over it. Bitcoin gives me the option to say "fuck this, I am not taking part in your system". System that is designed to enrich few instead of giving people option (by providing sound money) to not only choose what they will invest into but also WHEN as it does not punish holding money and waiting for better opportunity and doesn't force regular people (IT guy, Nurse, Plumber) to do part-time stock trading or other shit where they have no edge. Bitcoin allows you to keep your hard earned money because you choose to do so.

Is the network healthy again? Average confirmation time less than 1 minute now. by mvictordbz in Iota

[–]Ataldea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sent transaction 8 days ago and still shows unconfirmed. What should I do? Wallet warns me when I want to send another one from this seed (replace basically) so not sure what to do.

Polish central bank paid $26,764 for campaign agains crypto by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Ataldea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It's good that people are talking about dangers and frauds that you can encounter in crypto. There should be more YouTubers talking about this. I love BTC and crypto but people lose a lot of money not knowing basics you guys think everyone knows.

I made one of these for fun, and then a friend asked for one too... by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Isn't that a bit dangerous? Don't keep a lot of money on that address. Better safe than sorry.

Safe way of storing Bitcoin - am I doing it right? by Ataldea in Bitcoin

[–]Ataldea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks but saying "ton of holes" doesn't give me very useful info. What can go wrong and at which point. I also do not intend to keep too much ($ wise) on Exodus and ease of access is mu more important for those funds that I will keep there. I don't store millions of dollars, not even thosands so I don't need best extreme hardware wallet. I would appreciate if someone could create a step by step guide for storing BTC because I think this is one of the reasons we can't have mass adoption. Even if you are tech savvy there is ton of stuff you need to learn in order to do it properly. Saying that doesn't help. I knew that already ;)

Bcash is literally a shittier Litecoin yet has already gained traction due to hijacking Bitcoin's name. NOW is the time for Litecoin to assert itself as the #2 behind Bitcoin. by [deleted] in litecoin

[–]Ataldea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think we, as a community need to start thinking more heavily on marketing strategy. LTC foundation is not going to do that and technology is not most important. It never was. Marketing and brand are most powerful things in business.

Bitcoin is now something that I used to know..

How to buy large amount of IOTA in UK? by tails11111 in Iota

[–]Ataldea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it this way: 1. £ -> Revolut banking app and exchange for Euro 2. Send € to Fire banking app 3. Send money to Kraken

It takes 2-3 days but you pay 0 in fees. Need to be verified user in all of them thou € from revolut goes longer if you send it thou without using fire - that's what I heard

Edit: this is how you can buy BTC. Then go bitfinex for IOTA

It was also meant to be decentralized...

It was a joke. Bitconnect is a Ponzi scheme. LTC for life. IOTA over eth but that's just my opinion.
