Maybe they should also go into the details on how people in these countries are able to get into Bitcoin and how they gonna be converting them into their national currency since am sure there can be restrictions on popular cryptocurrency exchanges operating overseas to enter their countries

Good point, it would be interesting to read. Although i expect some of them either,
1. Perform P2P exchange between member on local cryptocurrency community.
2. Use foreign currency or bank service, assuming their country isn't under economic sanction.

It is enough to read what their users think -> https://www.trustpilot.com/review/cryptobrowser.site

I initially thought this website is just one of many scam/shady website with poor promotion, but it's clear that i'm wrong.

hey, im crypticrevelation and its my pleasure to engage you guys today:  ;Dyou can earn in the background while you accrue bitcoin on autopilot! check it people- its called crypto-tab browser and its amazing. whoever wants to see what it is all about and what you will be
 able to achieve, please click here:
I wonder how this works hmmm.
I still remember the time when I heard this years ago and to my curiosity, I also tried installing this with my old laptop (no important files or anything crypto related files on it at all).

Didn't wait for too long and I removed it immediately after a minute or two. I heard a noisy sound inside of my laptop and whenever I hear that, I know that something huge is running in my laptop that it requires lot of memory. Anyway, I don't also think that this is a good way to earn Bitcoins. You might earn some, but what are the costs? I don't know though if it's a scam or not because the browser extension itself doesn't ask for money from other people. Might as well ignore, or avoid it.

Yeah, laptop (especially old ones) shouldn't be used at 100% cpu usage all the time.

I think we can make guess of their purpose by reading their blog post on https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/blog/bdp/2024/04/24/making-sense-of-1713984605043.html. Visa wants to say stablecoin is still far from reaching Visa's volume.
Now it makes sense, +1 for you dude. Actually, I was confused because Visa is a financial infrastructure or platform providing financial services or allowing us to perform financial activities, it is not a currency so why they are comparing themselves with Fiat or Bitcoin? As Fiat and Bitcoin is a currency, assets or whatever a person call them. But they are not providing financial infrastructure there aim was not to? or is it?

That's why I asked the real purpose of this data, well, they made this dashboard with the help of Allium labs, which seems to me a good thing, as such things must need to be brought in front of our eyes, now with the help of this dashboard they can still remain in the third place. Nice move BTW.

As for other fiat service and stablecoin, i would guess it's because probably Visa know some users only care about make payment or sending fiat (or it's equivalent) to another user at low fee or high convenience. Other fiat service might offer lower fee, while stablecoin on altcoin network have very low TX fee.

Crypto-related Sites / Re: Coinmarkatcap?
« on: Today at 10:08:58 AM »
I have different opinion about this matters. I would recommend CoinGecko instead, especially for newcomers.
Honestly, I tried to use Coingecko more for some other reasons, but CMC is still more user-friendly, or at least it is much more convenient for me to use.
Although lately, CMC has become quite slow, too much data is loaded, often completely unnecessary, plus various advertisements and javascript, and it has a lot of impact on the usefulness of the site itself.

In that case, have you tried using adblock add-ons or software (such as uBlock Origin) to block those ads?

I would like to see a better alternative that will be devoted exclusively to the needs of the user.

There are so many desktop or mobile application which shows cryptocurrency data, where it's data taken from either CMC or CoinGecko API. One of those probably could be more user friendly for you.

BTPI Launches Study on Bitcoin’s Impact on Financial Freedom in Authoritarian Countries

The Brooks School Tech Policy Institute (BTPI) at Cornell University has launched a $1 million research project to explore the relationship between Bitcoin and financial freedom in authoritarian countries.

Led by BTPI Director Sarah Kreps, the research aims to understand how individuals use Bitcoin and stablecoins for financial security in these environments... Read more here.



While it's not started yet and we probably will see the result 2026, i find it's exciting news. After all, it's one of very real/important usage of Bitcoin. Although looking at institute's website, i also find they only focus on 12 country which is weird for me. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

I do not read the bill itself, but overall it seems to be good news for Bitcoiner who live on Oklahoma. The news doesn't state about privacy though. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
No need to read the whole bill as the news and the tweets give us almost all the information.
--snip--

You're probably right. But there's reason why idiom "The devil is in the details" exists. Although i don't see any news criticize this bill so far.

Crypto Wallets / Re: Best Ethereum Wallet with Lowest fee?
« on: May 18, 2024, 11:11:28 AM »
@Aanuoluwatofunmi is right. So you probably better ask "Which Ethereum Wallet let me configure TX fee rate manually?". I recall both MetaMask and Exodus let you do that under advance/custom option.
As far as I know, most crypto wallets have the feature of easily customizing fees according to user needs. Users only need to search for instructions and follow them to be able to save transaction fees when necessary. MetaMask, Coinbase, Blockchain, TrustWallet, SafePal... - users have many choices.

You're probably right, since i personally only tried few wallet software which support ETH. Although in few cases, those wallet might offer limited customization instead (e.g. choose between low, medium or high fee where it's fee rate already defined by the wallet).

The only case where users are forced to accept high fees is when using the Swap feature on the crypto wallets. These wallets often charge high fees to ensure the fastest possible user experience. Users of the Exodus Swap feature will understand this very well ^^

Yeah. Those wallet also do that to prevent wasted ETH due to too low gas fee.

I don't expect such statement come from some who supposed to be historian and philosopher. He can't even tell difference between distrust and better transparency/freedom which offered by Bitcoin. He don't even acknowledge reason why some people doesn't trust government so much.

It's a bit weird reading the right to self-custody of BTC as it's like a law giving you the right to stash fiat in your personal vault. Since bitcoin is already a capital asset and transactions are subject to Capital Gains Taxes, I think it's already implied that it's not illegal and you the right to store them in your non-custodial wallet.

I didn't think about that, but you're right. But at least, it would make Bitcoiner on Oklahoma  feel safer.

The most important part there is the legalization of Bitcoin mining.

But quick google search shows household electricity rate is above $0.1/kWh which isn't attractive for serious miner.

Many of you are likely aware of the Atomic wallet breach that occurred in June 2023, when over 100 million dollars was stolen from its users. Almost a year has passed, but the Atomic developers still haven't revealed what actually happened. May be they don't know at all.

And i speculate they want people to forget or give up about it altogether.

Consider this scenario: imagine an update is pushed to a software wallet with a malicious code. If hackers gain access to the update process or the wallet developer's infrastructure, they could inject malicious code into a seemingly legitimate update. Users who download and install this update could unknowingly expose their wallet's private keys or seed phrases to the attackers which would lead to loss of their funds.

This raises the question: can this happen with any software wallet? Does it mean we can't trust anyone?
This happened to electrum wallet last year or few months ago. That's the reason i don't update eventually my electrum and other wallet, unless a vulnerable was detected and was announced through their official social media handles, websites and some other news outlets. Other than that, i still do that practice more often.

Do you mean when malicious server send message to Electrum user to update their software from fake website? If yes, then it's somewhat different from Atomic Wallet case. Anyway, i agree not immediately update software could reduce risk mentioned by OP.

Oklahoma Passes Landmark Bill Protecting Bitcoin Rights

Oklahoma has made a landmark move by passing a bill to protect bitcoin rights. Governor Kevin Stitt signed the bill into law on May 13, 2024. Championed by Representative Samuel Brian Hill and Senator Coleman, the legislation establishes key protections for bitcoin and digital asset holders. Effective November 1, 2024, it ensures fundamental rights for individuals and businesses engaged in digital asset activities, positioning Oklahoma as a leader in the digital economy...

I agree with him. 4% inflation per day is insane and AFAIK newly generated WLD coin going to world coin team. But it's not very surprising when they perform questionable privacy practice and hit by several law privacy.

The only conclusion from this news is, that they just want to show off that they can distinguish between organic and inorganic activities, but for what purposes, I mean what use of this data to them, I can't think of any benefit here, if anyone else can shed some light.

I think we can make guess of their purpose by reading their blog post on https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/blog/bdp/2024/04/24/making-sense-of-1713984605043.html. Visa wants to say stablecoin is still far from reaching Visa's volume.
