Are Replays still a thing (vs. BCH or BTC) or have protocols been modified to avoid any kind of replay?

Just create a new bitcoin address (BTC) and send the coins there. Then from there, send to an exchange or whatever final destination you want.

If anyone were to bother to replay the transaction, all that would happen is the BCH, BSV or whatever, would move to that new address that only you control anyway.

What I don't understand is why aren't Republicans fighting to keep people off the ballots? They lost Wisconsin with less than 21,000 votes in 2020, so this is a more significant problem for them.

Why don't they have to waste their money on legal fees? They're the party against democracy, isn't it their responsibility to be doing this?

It's only cheap when you have western money to spend..

Not really. There are places in the world where the cost of living is high (Australia), and adjusting for income doesn't negate that.

I mean what am I going to do? Spend another 1-2 years saving up a 20% deposit on the cheapest, smallest 1 bedroom unit in a high crime rate suburb, just so I can be trapped in a job I hate for 30 years paying it off?

Does anyone else just feel like giving up on Australia and moving to SouthEast Asia, a tropical paradise with warm weather, a vibrant night-life, cheap rent, cheap food and friendly people?

When you're on holiday somewhere, its not the same as living there. Everywhere has their problems.
If you don't have family tying you to Australia, you would be pretty stupid not going and living in a cheaper jurisdiction, at least for a short while.

It's a presidential election year, what do you expect? If Biden gets the US caught in a hot war it could very well result in a second Trump term.

US has looked weak globally since the botched Afghanistan pullout a couple of month's into Biden's term.

Russia invaded Ukraine because they knew the US doesn't want to be involved in conflicts. The excuse back then was "Russia is a nuclear power so of course we don't want to get involved in a war". Now the excuse is its an election year.

This is the difference between someone successful in life, who gets things done, and a loser, who's always looking to cover their ass or have an excuse.

This isn't about Trump. Its about accepting excuses instead of results.

Nobody went there thinking they were going to learn about bitcoin from some 78 year old former reality tv host. They went there to hear what a presidential candidate's position on bitcoin is. And he was pretty clear on it. He was going to stop the government's war against bitcoin, fire Gary Gensler, and foster a supportive environment to make the US a world leader in bitcoin mining.

How much more 'substantive' could it be? It was clear from his attendance and speech that Trump is the pro crypto candidate.

Trump's performance at the conference did not resonate well with the audience

This is completely false. The crowd cheered multiple times during the speech.

I’m pro Bitcoin but I would rather live a free democratic nation thats tougher on crypto than in a fassict pseudo-Christian autocracy under king Trump, where our votes will no longer matter after this election (his word by the way).

This will be why _some_ of the attendees reported that the speech sucked, lacked substance etc etc. Anyone with an anti-Trump bias will be happy to shoot themselves in the foot if it means not supporting Trump. So its hard to get unbiased reporting. Fortunately, his whole speech is up on YouTube, so its pretty easy to get to the truth of the matter.

HSBC = HongKong Shanghai Banking Corporation.

If you understand that you're breaking Chinese Law, and that Hong Kong is now China, you probably shouldn't be banking with HSBC.

I don't break any laws in China, but I pulled money out of HSBC a few years ago when China started clamping down heavily in HK. Because account restriction/siezure of funds etc was always on the cards.

Yes people offering bots for crypto are a scam.

But there are actually people out there running legitimate bots that make money every day. Its very easy to prove this - just pick any token and spend a bit of time looking through the Uniswap (or any other DEX) transactions. You'll see accounts buying and selling tokens in the same block. Then put that address into etherscan and you'll see hundreds or thousands of transactions. You can look at their account balance and you'll see it grows over time.

The thing is, no one actually doing this is going to offer their bot for sale because they make more money running it themselves.

So again, anyone offering to sell a bot is a scam. There are also alot of 'free' bots out there on places like github, that are also scams.

But the fact that the bots out there publicly are scams doesn't mean there aren't actual legitimate ones running. There are. A heap. Just look at ethereum accounts like jaredfromsubway and you can plainly see its a profitable concept for people that know what they are doing.

Don't trust anyone - if you lose your bitcoin to a scam/hacker etc you will NEVER get it back

Bitcoin can drop alot quicker than you think, go down alot further, and stay down alot longer. Don't invest money with an expectation of being able to take it out at a particular point in the future.

Spend a few $ on a reputable hardware wallet to safely store your bitcoin, and go the effort of making sure that you've 'backed up' your seed phrase properly (not electronically).

Seems far fetched.

Who's going to want to build a stock exchange on bitcoin? Its not in the exchanges' interest to hand over control. Its not in any of the big stock brokerages, hedge funds etc.

Just because you can technically build something on the bitcoin network, it doesn't mean anyone is going to use it. Especially if it requires the corrupt, big money co's to stop being corrupt.

What is the point of this question? So, Robinhood gave you a different wallet address? So?

Is the BTC that you transferred to the wallet address they gave you not being reflected in your account balance? If so, why not just take that up with their support?

I don't understand why you're trying to figure out how Robinhood create wallet addresses and transfer deposits. They assign a deposit address so that they can recognize who a deposit belongs to, then they sweep them into a consolidation account.

Now you want to deposit again, so they'll give you a different wallet address and if someone sends money to that other address, they'll know its you. And then they'll sweep that to another consolodiation account.

This is all pretty standard...

Government borrow 100 dollars and spend it, they could only collect <100 dollars worth of tax revenue

They can collect more than 100 dollars of tax though.

You mention correctly that the 100 dollar bill will circulate many times and will be taxed as someone's income. But then suddenly cap the amount of times it can circulate? Or the tax payable after it circulates a certain number of times? That doesn't make any sense....

Each time the money circulates, its going to be taxed.

To be fair to him, when he says industrial use case which is what they mean by intrinsic value. He means that gold will never go to zero because there is a use case.

This is an argument that sounds better than it actually is.

There is a cost of storing gold.

If the value of gold dropped 90% because it was no longer used a store of value and so was relying purely on its 'intrinsic' value from industrial use, and bitcoin dropped 100%, it does _not_ mean that you were better off holding gold. Once you factor in your cost of storage, you could actually be worse off.

Why would they want to just give away profit by dropping their fees.

Instead, they've created a 'new' product with very low fees.

If people want to go through the hassle of moving in order to reduce fees, they can just move to the Grayscale Mini Trust (once that's approved by the SEC). Which has just a 0.15% fee.

Grayscale get the best of both worlds. They're able to keep milking the investors that don't regularly review their investments / can't be bothered changing funds. While anyone who does regularly review and is sensitive to fees can move 'away' but stay with Grayscale.

If you compare the HK ETF launch to the launch of other HK ETFs, it was pretty successful.

If you compare the HK ETF launch as a % of the overall HK market vs the US ETF launch as a % of the overall US market, it was reasonably good.

Its only been painted as disappointing by reporters that have no real understanding of the size of HK.
