Topic: [Discussion] Our Successor in Bitcoin Forum - page 2. (Read 514 times)

What happened to teaching my kids how to write programs, solve problems using digital skills, learn how to trade and invest, learn how to develop softwares, NFTs, Gamefi, web 3 or teach them how to solve complex problems writing simple lines of codes. Bitcointalk account should be the least my children should inherit. They might have access to my coin but for forum accounts their passion will earn them a place on any forum of their choice..

They might be too busy that taking over my forum account might need a re-think

You could also add that the forum will last as long as their is a demand from the members.
I have been on forums before and seen them die as the members dwindled away, a platform
can exist but without activity there will be no attraction for others to be engaged.


Absolutely it makes sense to let them create their own account, make their own history
and reputation.

I think there's no need to bother about who is going to take over the forum in the future, as people have existed in this forum before you became a Member so it will when you're not there.
 
Regarding our children, you can teach them guide lines on what do and not force them to become a member of forum, if they desires then good,  it should not be a must thing for our children so we can have people that will develop the passion and in that way add quality value to the forum.

I don't think is wise idea no one should manage anybody's account,  rather Our Children should create their own account and start from the scratch to build their own reputation if they desires to become member.

Why did you decide to share part and not all to your wife. Can you let us know if there's something you noticed so that we can learn from you.
I stroke the wallet address you typed, I believe it's a mistake. If what your wife has is your wallet address, I am sorry she will not be able to retrieve any fund in your absence.

You can also add that as long as bitcoin lasts...

you asked too much mate,, but asking me if i am willing to hand over my account?or my bitcoin wallet?

the answer is a BIG YES..

Yes because I already did shared my Wallet addresses to my Wife though not all of them yet there are mire than half of my funds can be accessed by hers as for our family's future.

there are circumstances that emergency or sudden death may come and i have no time to hand over my funds to them.

I am not a fan of handover my account or wallet access to anyone yet. But yea, I like to teach them about crypto and forum. So they would recover everything from my personal notebook. I wrote all my account credentials in my personal notebook. I don't feel bored when visiting the forum at least. Because not all the day I stay here. Whenever I am free I just visit this forum to read and write. So don't take over stress, just take it easy.

Not sure about it though, I mean maybe some of us here doesn't have children and if they do, perhaps they are willing to take the knowledge on crypto and gave it to their children. But it doesn't mean that they will have to be active in this community. Sure you can gave our account password or our private key, after all they are our children. But still up to them on how they are going to used it, we can only hope that they will continue what we have started, but we can't dictate everything to them.

I think your OP context is subjective to me, pointing out things and then linking them in unison to a common idea,I think this is the classic example of what you is mentions it, staying in front of a PC but thinking confusedly.

Then, do not confuse ideas;
- We live in a generation that is born with information at their fingertips.
- The forum will last as long as admin pays the bills.
- The secret keys, there are several schemes to transfer those responsibilities.

You can hand over your knowledge and contributions by leaving your account alone. I've seen good new accounts surpass me in whatever measure you can think of


Think it's really hard to step off the penny game for a lot of people. Some a matter of pure economics, where a penny is worth something (and they can't see beyond the penny or the dollar, or never thought it was possible).

It's the same faucet mentality, was even there myself for 2 months -- reading voraciously while not able to do anything in bed (and yes getting sick was really the turning point and start of my Bitcoin journey) I claimed faucets like some weird addiction thing, knowing it was fractions of a penny at the time.

Or those games people pour months of their lives into each year, also thinking they build characters with gears worth 1000s of dollars, not realising if they'd spent the same amount of time and passion into their skills, they'd be earning so much more (and gaining life experience etc).

Don't worry every generation has its different features and qualities, the good members of the forum will never end there will always appear new members with good skills who are following the task of keeping the forum alive with high quality, so you don't have to hand the kids the forum or give them the passwords but you have to teach them how to be good To follow the task started by members here in the forum.
Regarding your other question, if you mean to pass on your name to your son in the forum, this is your right, but you must first possess sufficient knowledge about Bitcoin and teach him how to follow your path well in the forum so that your son does not cause to lose your name that you worked hard to get.

I think is very good way where with Bitcointalk account he can buy Laptop and use it for learning everything at online world, but never give first thing with earn money in Bitcointalk forum because here many knowledge we can take, better keep up your knowledge and looking many good information about bitcoin and altcoin exactly before your way earn money trough this forum will be easy.

Children is not right time have teach them how to earn money early, I think better give them access keep controlling activity with learning and focus on their school, not bad if give them access and know them with bitcoin world but I think is too early because their time for playing and studying.

Apart from other side benefits, this forum is basically for the learning and teaching of Bitcoin. Just like a formal school, you progress or you are promoted to the next class or membership rank when you acquire a certain level of knowledge. All things been equal, the level of knowledge of a member cannot be compared to the experience of a Hero or Legendary member. If you hand over a Senior member account to someone that has the knowledge of a Newbie, what would be the outcome? If a lecturer who is a professor, hands over his certificate and appointment letter to his son and instructs him to take over his lecturing job because he was retiring, what would the first degree son teach? If my child is interested in Bitcoin or the forum, he needs to build his own career because that is the only way he can learn and become proficient.     

This is very common now that Bitcoin becomes a digital asset than the digital currency which the creator wanted to have.
More people keeping the value of Bitcoin than spending it as a digital currency, time will come for to Bitcoin will become so expensive if a lot of people hoard it to store value.

No, I didn't feel bored because I'm here when there was my vacant time and this isn't my priority, we have a job and businesses outside that we must to prior and this forum is our second place when we want relaxation while gaining information to educate ourselves further in Bitcoin learning. 
Who will continue my activities?  Of course, it will stop when I will die.

No one teaches us to this thing, it's our instinct to handle everything.  If we can able to handle and manage our time from here and into our outside activity, for sure they will do the same.

Of course, why not, as you've said Bitcoin considering an asset.

i know some people think that merits and acitivity of user account stats wins favour for things like Sig campaigns thus makes people think forum usernames then have value to sell.
but if you are messing around in the game of selling accounts, you are playing the penny game wasting time for little return while missing out on where the big money lays.

dont rely on sig campaign or account sales as your main desire of income. its meant as a passive pocket money side bonus for some. while they start a business or create a project to actually better their lives. its not meant to be a case of wanting to protect a username for life as an investment in-of-itself.
because obviously if there hundreds of millions of user accounts where in 60 years everyone will have legendary status. the value of accounts goes down due to the abundance of numbers of accounts available to sell
so concentrate on other methods of income via learning about bitcoin. not by simply trying to post random posts to get a forum status


there are many many options to store the private key/seed. there is no limit to options that make it easier for people to keep long term. your not forced to keep one copy and have to protect it with your like (unlike a gold nugget)

if you consider bitcoin from the prospective of 'if you had to make a transaction using only pen and paper' then yes noticing the cryptography of signature proofs make it very complicated
(i read the code and done stuff some in that area for other projects(re-typing it out not pen/paper ofcourse), so i know its not childsplay)

but from the process of a user experience. just copy and pasting an address/qr code scanning, typing in an amount and pressing send. it is easy.

compare it to bank notes. to pay someone you have to physically go to a bank ATM type in a pin number get the cash. travel physically else where and hand it to the recipient. is less easy
compare it to debit card fiat. for an online purchase
having to type in a long number, expiry date, CVV number. your name, billing address. and sometimes have the bank do a random security 2factor check. is less than easy

for me bitcoin is easier to secure value in what fiat world would describe as a offshore trust account. its simpler in bitcoin by just paying a bitcoin multisig address in the bitcoin world. no bank managers are needed no accountant or no lawyers to contract multiple people to a trust needed. you simply fund a bitcoin multisig address and its done, funds are safe. and control is equally shared between who you hand keys to without giving any of them individual control.

The major advantage of bitcoin is not easy transaction process as you emphasised. Bitcoin transaction and storage is not as simple as you portrayed it to especially an illiterate layman. I have seen people run into issues while doing Bitcoin transactions. I have seen many loss their Bitcoin because of inability to save it for long period of time. The best advantage I can say is for security and liberty.

There was when I was scared that there won't be continuity. I created a topic in the beginners and help board where I was asking who will be our researcher if Fillippone is no longer here, what happens if the likes of DdmrDdmr LoyceV are no longer available in the forum. But after I read about someone like Lauda, Vod, Tman etc that I didn't meet, I laughed and concluded that some excellent users we see now are maintaining legacies and some are not 100% good from onset. But when the time was ripe, they became legends.

I don't understand the place of this question in your post. It is your personal decision.

When many members here were children, Bitcoin had very likely not been invented yet, so no one really expects children to take over the forum.
There is no point at which the current forum members would collectively abandon the forum, there are users of all ages here and there would be a slow transition as time goes by.

Again, no one is handing over their private keys to children, and imo, no one should ideally be handing down their account password. Social platforms are not heirlooms which gets transfered or inherited.

The digital world continues to evolve from time to time. Various works and innovations were born with various advantages to facilitate human activities in all sectors.
Bitcoin is clear evidence of an innovation created to make it easier for humans to deal with transactions in the digital sector.
The convenience that exists in Bitcoin is able to lure many people to make it a future digital currency asset.

Because the Bitcoin transaction process is quite easy, everyone only needs to save the address and private key to keep it accessible anytime and anywhere as long as the internet is still around.

I was inspired by an activity carried out by a bitcointalk account on this forum. He donated BTC to buy a laptop from the proceeds he got from his signature campaign work and taught them about Bitcoin. For me that is an extraordinary thing.



Have we ever thought on the sidelines of our minds being bored while in front of a computer/laptop/android and so on, who will continue our activities in this forum? If our answer is children, can they be as consistent as we expect? Are they able to divide the time between formal education and time learning about Bitcoin?
Can we hand over the account password and private key to access our Bitcoin wallet from now on?

I want to find answers in this forum related to what I think.
What's the way out?
