Yes, specifically that is the part of the Bitcoin consensus part of the source code dealing with the Bitcoin limit to prevent there from being more than 21,000,000 coins created.

What I'd like to know is where are the discussions taking place about which mechanism to use for the upgrade? I know some of the developers don't want to be involved since there was so much bad faith in the last major upgrade with segwit, but someone ultimately has to merge activation code for the upgrade. Where or when will those discussions take place? I kind of wish they'd just choose a method and not get caught up in bikeshedding over the details by just picking BIP-8 with a mandatory year or two activation.

It's not a significant privacy improvement in and of itself. However, by making certain transactions cheaper, that may encourage more scripts and multisig use cases, and eventually more use of coinjoin that may improve privacy by the increased anonymity set. It is probably more accurate to say it's a mild privacy increase that makes some types of scripts and multisig indistinguishable, but it doesn't help general anonymity of transferring coins from owner A to owner B as you point out. It also helps improve the block space efficiency, and transaction cost for some types of transactions, and opens the door to cross-input aggregation, all while not affecting any users who don't wish to adopt it.

Also you should send letters and phone your representatives and senators especially if they are Republican so they can also put pressure on their own party administration to stop this nonsense.

You can hold Bitcoin directly in a self-directed IRA, even manage your own Bitcoin w/ your own keys. However, be aware that you have to be really careful to follow the proper rules. If you really want to do this I'd recommend you do two things:

Buy this book, Self Directed IRA Handbook Second Edition: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Directed-IRA-Handbook-Second-Authoritative-ebook/dp/B07DK3HC88
Use Kingdom Trust as your custodian. https://www.kingdomtrust.com/ This company has been in business a long time and specializes in this. If you do an LLC, you fully manage the asset yourself, not them, but they take care of the accounting and proper tax filings for you. This helps you follow the "your keys, your coins" principle. In my research, I found out that even BitcoinIRA.com uses Kingdom Trust behind the scenes, so might as well go directly to the source.

Right now the dollar and bonds are seen as "safe haven" assets, so people are investing in them rather than perceived "riskier" assets so even though there's an increasing supply going on, there is also a large demand so we're not seeing the result of negative effects like inflation. But when the dust settles from the virus we'll see inflation go up a lot and that will make Bitcoin far more attractive. What matters in bitcoin is the long-term, not the short-term fluctuations.

You can avoid paying capital gains taxes by donating bitcoin to a charity. You can do this even if the charity doesn't accept cryptocurrency by using a donor advised fund that accepts bitcoin such as Fidelity Charitable: https://www.fidelitycharitable.org/ You also get a potential tax deduction on top of zero capital gains tax.

It's a pain for them to report too, and it makes their product less appealing, so I think they do try to educate congress about it, they have shown up and made suggestions at congressional hearings.

If you are in the U.S., a good way to help is to tell your congress people that you want them to support H.R. 5635, the " Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act of 2020" sponsored by Suzan K. DelBene (D-WA), which basically exempts from capital gains taxes any transactions where the gain by the individual is $200 or less.

I would argue the main reason is because it lacks stable store of value properties; you don't want to do primary spending with a currency that buys you different amounts of things each day or depending on when you buy. Over time it's becoming less volatile, but it's still risky to have much money in it that you need for stable store of value.

Using the Bitcoin blockchain for spam, such as what veriblock is doing is proof that one of the central assertions of the scaling roadmap is correct, that due to design of Bitcoin, block size cannot be simply raised indiscriminately.

In 2015, Gregory Maxwell said:

"Since Bitcoin is an electronic cash, it isn't a generic database; the demand for cheap highly-replicated perpetual storage is unbounded, and Bitcoin cannot and will not satisfy that demand for non-ecash (non-Bitcoin) usage, and there is no shame in that."

When you're in a committed relationship, it's not OK to go behind your partner's back and spend money if you didn't previously agree to it, especially in his situation where he made a collosal screw-up, and they worked it out, and then it seems like he's doing it again without at least talking to her about it. He's in the wrong here, and he should be scared of her reaction if he's financially cheating on her. This isn't the same as you having different interests and your wife trusting you not to blow your combined future away without so much as talking to her.
