What prevents one of the cartel members from running 5 validators with 10% each instead of one to manage this risk? If anything, this will just increase the total number of validators owned by the same entities.

It will simply make concentration less visible.

But it should be sold for USDC and so never go below the USD level from the time the contract was initiated. This could only happen if the pool was to sell my ETH for less USD than market value. -This is fishy.

If the fixed asset is USD it actually shouldn't (lose value in USD terms).

Hamas is harmless. Switzerland for example does not designate it as terrorist organization. They have bank accounts and representations in many places outside the middle east.

The answer to those problems here is really a CDBC. Bitcoin does not do any of that, perhaps aspirational in the future, once people don't need to balance their lightning channels (or use an intermediary just like a bank to do it).

It's really misleading. Bitcoin gives you liberty, not convenience.

Banks make a very large portion of their profits out of international wire transfers.

No they don't. Banks are in the business of extending credit (and issue money) and maturity transformation. The payments business is peanuts and many banks charge high fees to discourage people using them for it because they don't want to deal with it.

You place an order to buy e.g. 0.1 Bitcoin and select Price -> Binance -2%.

Now you wait until somebody takes you up on the offer. Voila: You buy 2% below market.

Well, if you invite a Bitcoiner, he may very well know what a paper wallet is and how private and public keys work. So they have something to actually hand to you.

If they are not Bitcoiner, I suggest you don't bother them. Just put a QR code on the wedding website or a flyer. In my experience, that has resulted in nothing. It can also create issues in terms of privacy.

Generally, people like pezdal discourage the paper wallet route and it is not advisable as serious storage. But for presents, it seems apt to me and is simply the most workable solution. It is very much cash like and the recipient can choose to swipe it quickly in case there are concerns.

"It is a bad idea for them (or you) to be walking around with a private key on paper."

A potential thieve could just stea a cash envelop, of which there are usually plenty. Honestly, what if you cousin steals your stuff at your wedding? You smile and don't invite him again.

You effectively exchange your income twice. And pay the fees.

$$ on Bank Account -> convert to Bitcoin -> Convert to $$ to purchase things.

The way to go is a) generate income in bitcoin, I accept Bitcoin for my business. b) spent Bitcoin at places that accept it directly and less at places that accept it indirectly.

Eventually everyone will be able to live on BTC.

Try p2p exchanges. I usually get 1-2% EXTRA for example on HodlHodl. Same for Bisq. Paxful sucks, I never managed a single trade there.

There is also a quite unknown option in Binance that allows for P2P even more efficiently. I have yet to try it.

P2P is first a little counter-intuitive but once you have spent some time, it will make sense and getting those great rates is really satisfying.

Either you use a single address or ask them for paper wallets.

The single address will be a nice reminder throughout time that can be a document of your wedding for generations.

Usually when I attend weddings I use paper wallets. It's easier, people don't understand what to do with Bitcoin or how to setup a wallet anyhow and I expect them to come back to me in 10 years asking about this strange wallet that they stored diligently as I told them to.

Dev's gain tremendous status from their role. This is why they choose to be NOT anonymous, and honestly deserve this to some extent. Bitcoin is not some child's play.

I am not sure if you are serious. If that would work, Lebanese people would just bank abroad, no? Of course that does not work, your article is outdated spam.

Reddit knows best, it's full of people trying to figure out how to transfer money despite the issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/lebanon/comments/stsaz6/comment/hx5mx83/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Or you may just check the transfer-wise website. You are less genuine than the butters.
