I don't like the guy and not trying to defend him, but if you click the author of that article, you will be redirected to a Telegram channel called "Announcement Bitcointalk", from the looks of it that channel posts ANN threads on that channel that has been posted here on the forum and if you check that channel you will find a post there on June, 27(not sure why they have June 27 on the article and June 26 on your screenshot) that is almost a copy-paste of the thread Joeyp created that has a link which is labelled "origin" that directs to his thread on this forum.

I have no idea what could have happened or why the date changed there. But when I took the screenshot, the date was June 26. You may notice that even in the source link itself the date is "06-26".

Hecame participated in the AIIP NFT AIRDROP campaign in the Medium section, as evidenced by the entry in the table. I have not found any forum posts from Hecame that could be accused of plagiarism. It seems that joeperry was not referring to plagiarism on the forum, but that Hecame was plagiarizing articles from other members of this campaign specifically on Medium. In the table there is this note "Plagiarizing above content and other content from other users". There, in the table, there is a link to the archive, but unfortunately it does not work.

Short overview of what Bitcoin offers

Bitcoin is a strictly digital peer-to-peer currency, which operates on a decentralized, globally distributed network of computers, called nodes, freeing it from the control or oversight of any central authority, such as a government, corporation, or financial institution. Unlike traditional financial systems, which rely on central banks or financial intermediaries, Bitcoin's decentralized nature means it's not subject to single points of failure or control, creating a highly secure and robust system almost impervious against attacks or censorship, which paired with Bitcoin’s global accessibility, pseudonymity, ownership control, limited supply and borderless transactions render it especially valuable to people living under regimes or strict financial control.

How Bitcoin is able to be a decentralized, distributed network, built up of nodes that are able to work together, without needing to trust each other or a central party, through use of a mechanism called “emergent consensus”.


Bitcoin as a decentralized, distributed, and trustless network is achieved by having each node featuring its own copy of the blockchain, allowing it to operate independently from its peers and abling it to independently verify and validate transactions and blocks, as well as verifying the blockchain’s history and rules without having to trust its peers, while simultaneously adding redundancy to the network.

Nodes follow two sets of rules which allows the globally dispersed, individual network of nodes to achieve a consensus about the integrity, state and security of the blockchain, as well as the future assembly of it. Consensus within the Bitcoin network is also referred to as “emergent consensus”, emergent, because reaching consensus is an ongoing effort.

Nodes within the Bitcoin network follow two types of rulesets; one being policy rules, and the other being consensus rules.

Policy rules are a set of rules or conditions that are defined by the individual node, and can vary from one node operator to another. Policy rules can include decisions like setting a minimum transaction fee, blacklisting certain addresses, or defining spending limits. Policy rules are not enforced by the network as a whole, rather, they are enforced by the individual node operator or entity.

Consensus rules are the fundamental, unchanging rules that are hard-coded into the blockchain’s protocol, and are agreed upon by the entire network. Consensus rules determine how blocks are created, validated and added to the blockchain, and include parameters like the block size limit, the difficulty adjustment algorithm, the halving schedule, and the rules governing the issuance of new coins. Consensus rules are therefore strictly enforced by every node on the network, and every block or transaction that violates these rules will be rejected, which results in the non-compliant block or transaction not becoming part of the blockchain.

The “Proof-of-Work” algorithm as an integral part of the consensus-mechanism.

Transactions are verified against a node’s policy rules, and blocks are verified against the consensus rules, part of which requires blocks to provide a “Proof-of-Work”, which is created through use of an algorithm that attaches real-world costs to the creation of blocks, rewarding honest individuals with a block-subsidy and fees, and leaving malicious actors with the incurred costs, rendering it economically unviable to attack or manipulate the network.

The algorithm urges miners to “guess” an output that meets a specific set of conditions specified in advance, and add this output to the block, before broadcasting it to the network, leaving blocks without a Proof-of-Work to be rejected by the network for violating the consensus rules. The relative difficulty for meeting the set of conditions depends on the current difficulty, which is monitored and adjusted by the “difficulty-adjustment”, an algorithm used to adjust the specified conditions approximately every two weeks, or 2016 blocks, depending on the total hash rate available in the network, ensuring that about every ten minutes, a new block is found. The higher the difficulty, the more difficult it is to meet the specified conditions, and thus, the costlier it is to create a Proof-of-Work.

If someone were to try and broadcast a malicious block containing manipulated transactions, he’d have to enter the competition of finding a Proof-of-Work, add it to the block, and still get rejected because of the manipulated transactions contained by the block, leaving him with nothing but the incurred costs of guessing the Proof-of-Work.

The Proof-of-Work algorithm enables nodes to prove whether or not resources were used during the creation of the block, providing the ability to achieve consensus in a decentralized, distributed network without trust or need of control through a central entity, and ensures the security of the blockchain’s history through addition of a Proof-of-Work to every block in the chain. If someone wanted to change the contents of a past block, he’d have to not only create a new Proof-of-Work for the block in question, but for all subsequent blocks, too. An undertaking which nowadays would be so complex in terms of computational hardware, and so expensive in terms of energy, that the chance of success is nil, yet the chance of financial ruin is plenty, rendering the blockchain almost impervious to attacks or manipulation.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates on a decentralized network of computers, called nodes. Decentralized means that there is no central entity that controls the network, and thus, no central authority which assembles the state of the ledger, known as the blockchain. Instead, Bitcoin uses a mechanism called “emergent consensus”, which is achieved through nodes respecting the same rules, allowing thousands of individual nodes to assemble the same local copy of the blockchain, without being dependent on a central authority.

A transaction is added to the blockchain as part of a block, which essentially records a batch of new transactions into the blockchain.

Once a transaction is broadcast to the network, nodes independently verify the transaction against their policy rules, which are a set of rules or conditions that are defined by the individual node. Once validated, the transaction is temporarily stored into a node’s mempool, where it waits for a miner to take it along with other validated transactions, and aggregate it into a candidate block, which is a block that is not yet confirmed nor added to the blockchain.

The candidate block then enters the process of “mining”, which refers to the computational and energy-intensive task of finding a valid “hash”, which is made-up of the candidate blocks contents + a random input. The difficulty of finding a valid hash changes approximately every two weeks through a mechanism called the “difficulty adjustment”. This mechanism changes the conditions depending on the amount of active miners participating.

Once a valid hash has been found, the miner broadcasts the candidate block + hash to the network, where nodes independently verify the block, its contents and the hash against the consensus rules, which are the fundamental, unchanging rules that are hard-coded into the blockchain’s protocol and are agreed upon by the entire network, they determine how blocks are created, validated, and added to the blockchain. Once the block is validated, it's added to the local copy of the nodes, and thus, the blockchain.

A mind map of "The Bitcoin System" has been created. The goal of this visual representation is to draw attention to the fundamental components that go into making Bitcoin a functional technological advancement.

My motivation for undertaking this project is to gain a deeper understanding of Bitcoin as a system, which is defined as a collection of interconnected or interdependent components. In particular, I firmly believe that people who want to learn more about Bitcoin should have a basic understanding of these components. These elements act as important markers that would be routinely evaluated in order to determine the course of Bitcoin's evolutionary development over time.
Can the elements be better presented or simplified to aid understanding?

Once I have the feedback I will update the mind map and show it to the Bitcoin community.

Doge is the main motivation behind why Shib got a spotlight since it drained on the image coin promotion of doge previously. Now that Elon is possibly out, I see no future at the cost of Shib and image coins overall since they are planned pointless with next to no genuine utility. Those numbers are skewd since they fundamentally parted with a ton. The entire consuming of tokens lets me know this is simply one more lengthy trick with an end goal to raise the cost.

Original:

Elon Musk is out on crypto and probably he will be soon out on Doge. Doge is the only reason why Shib got a spotlight because it leached on the meme coin hype of doge before. Now that Elon is potentially out, I don’t see any future for the price of Shib and meme coins in general because they are designed useless without any real utility.

I will sell all day Shib and any meme coin if I still have this coin on my wallet. But luckily I already all of my holdings 2 years ago.

I think at some point we all didn't believe in the concept of cryptocurrency or at the very least had our doubts. So, I wanted to of course explore some of the reasons as to why people show disinterest or skepticism towards the adoption or investment into cryptocurrency.





1- Not understanding the cryptocurrency system: A lot of people in general don't even know what cryptocurrency is, especially a lot of the Moonfarmers in the subreddit as of late. I, myself, was not familiar with cryptocurrency and had only heard about Bitcoin until last month. Even until recently, I made some pretty embarrassing comments now that I can look back on them with much more knowledge and understanding. Even some of the more seasoned people tend to not really care for the tech but are rather here as an investment and to gain profits. (lol)



2- Government misinformation: I think that some governments strictly oppose cryptocurrency because of a few shady reasons. First, the members of the government are just straight up dinosaurs with no understanding of the concept. Second, the members of the governments might actually know the concept of cryptocurrency but are trying to push people away from it in order to take some of their freedoms away. Cryptocurrency offers financial freedom for some, and governments don't like it whenever people are financially independent, and they can't get a piece of the pie or banks are being left out. You can't really freeze someone's assets if their money is stored in crypto. Third, the members of the governments themselves are trying to accumulate as much cryptocurrency as they can before people catch on so that they can have the majority of the financial power under their grasp.



3- Scams: Cryptocurrency tends to have a lot of scams and we have articles posted daily on this subreddit of people losing thousands to millions of dollars' worth of crypto to scams. I understand that this might cause people to be skeptical of the security of crypto. They might feel that it's better to keep their money in banks where it might be insured by the FDIC. However, a lot of these scams are the result of people not taking proper steps to secure their assets or are gullible enough to fall for the phishing links that tend to follow people that are into crypto. While accidents do happen, it is up to us to make sure that the exchanges we are using are the actual ones and not scam links being pushed through Google ads or sent to us through Reddit DMs.



4- Influencers & Shitcoins: Distrust of influencers is valid. You have countless stories of influencers pushing shitcoins only for people to be rugpulled. Shitcoins aren't there for people to make money, it's only there for the creators to make money. Whenever the average person sees that they can buy a million shitcoins for $100 without basic understanding of various types of cryptos only to get rugpulled, they'll start to feel that all of crypto is a scam because they lost all their money. Even worse if somebody close to them suggested a shitcoin, tensions would definitely get high.



5- NFTs: Whenever people see that someone has paid thousands of dollars for a picture of a monkey, of course they're going to be like "WTF is this?" While I do agree that buying a picture for thousands of dollars might not be the smartest crypto investment, I get why people do it. Owning something that is absolutely unique to the buyer is something any investor would want. I might even buy an NFT myself in the future, thought probably something cheap around $20 just so I can say that it's mine. It might not make me any money or hold its value in the long run, but it would be something unique to me and me only. However, to the average person, they won't understand the concept of owning an image or music online with its own code.



6- Tangibility: I feel like this is the most important reason as to why people are reluctant to adopt cryptocurrency, and that's because they can't touch it. They can't physically touch it like cash, debit cards, credit cards, gold, diamonds, real estate, etc. It's not something that can be experienced with any of the five senses in a tangible form. All of it is digital which might give the impression that it is fake money or money that is artificially generated with no value since it isn't backed by the gold standard or something similar.



7- Volatility: Prices go up and down in the crypto market all the time, whether it's up 420% or down 69%. The instability of prices can at times push away potential investors, even those who might be dipping their hands into the stock market at times (my stocks portfolio is loss porn). However, they might not realize that Bitcoin can be directly correlated to the stock market at times. On top of that, the majority of other cryptos are directly linked to Bitcoin. (ETH, AVAX, XRP, ADA, etc)



There might be other reasons. Let me know down below what other reasons you think could contribute to the reluctancy to embrace cryptocurrency or what I might have missed on one of the points.

Original
I think at some point we all didn't believe in the concept of cryptocurrency or at the very least had our doubts. So, I wanted to of course explore some of the reasons as to why people show disinterest or skepticism towards the adoption or investment into cryptocurrency.


1- Not understanding the cryptocurrency system: A lot of people in general don't even know what cryptocurrency is, especially a lot of the Moonfarmers in the subreddit as of late. I, myself, was not familiar with cryptocurrency and had only heard about Bitcoin until last month. Even until recently, I made some pretty embarrassing comments now that I can look back on them with much more knowledge and understanding. Even some of the more seasoned people tend to not really care for the tech but are rather here as an investment and to gain profits. (lol)



2- Government misinformation: I think that some governments strictly oppose cryptocurrency because of a few shady reasons. First, the members of the government are just straight up dinosaurs with no understanding of the concept. Second, the members of the governments might actually know the concept of cryptocurrency but are trying to push people away from it in order to take some of their freedoms away. Cryptocurrency offers financial freedom for some, and governments don't like it whenever people are financially independent, and they can't get a piece of the pie or banks are being left out. You can't really freeze someone's assets if their money is stored in crypto. Third, the members of the governments themselves are trying to accumulate as much cryptocurrency as they can before people catch on so that they can have the majority of the financial power under their grasp.



3- Scams: Cryptocurrency tends to have a lot of scams and we have articles posted daily on this subreddit of people losing thousands to millions of dollars' worth of crypto to scams. I understand that this might cause people to be skeptical of the security of crypto. They might feel that it's better to keep their money in banks where it might be insured by the FDIC. However, a lot of these scams are the result of people not taking proper steps to secure their assets or are gullible enough to fall for the phishing links that tend to follow people that are into crypto. While accidents do happen, it is up to us to make sure that the exchanges we are using are the actual ones and not scam links being pushed through Google ads or sent to us through Reddit DMs.



4- Influencers & Shitcoins: Distrust of influencers is valid. You have countless stories of influencers pushing shitcoins only for people to be rugpulled. Shitcoins aren't there for people to make money, it's only there for the creators to make money. Whenever the average person sees that they can buy a million shitcoins for $100 without basic understanding of various types of cryptos only to get rugpulled, they'll start to feel that all of crypto is a scam because they lost all their money. Even worse if somebody close to them suggested a shitcoin, tensions would definitely get high.



5- NFTs: Whenever people see that someone has paid thousands of dollars for a picture of a monkey, of course they're going to be like "WTF is this?" While I do agree that buying a picture for thousands of dollars might not be the smartest crypto investment, I get why people do it. Owning something that is absolutely unique to the buyer is something any investor would want. I might even buy an NFT myself in the future, thought probably something cheap around $20 just so I can say that it's mine. It might not make me any money or hold its value in the long run, but it would be something unique to me and me only. However, to the average person, they won't understand the concept of owning an image or music online with its own code.



6- Tangibility: I feel like this is the most important reason as to why people are reluctant to adopt cryptocurrency, and that's because they can't touch it. They can't physically touch it like cash, debit cards, credit cards, gold, diamonds, real estate, etc. It's not something that can be experienced with any of the five senses in a tangible form. All of it is digital which might give the impression that it is fake money or money that is artificially generated with no value since it isn't backed by the gold standard or something similar.



7- Volatility: Prices go up and down in the crypto market all the time, whether it's up 420% or down 69%. The instability of prices can at times push away potential investors, even those who might be dipping their hands into the stock market at times (my stocks portfolio is loss porn). However, they might not realize that Bitcoin can be directly correlated to the stock market at times. On top of that, the majority of other cryptos are directly linked to Bitcoin.

As it grew Popularity Bitcoin cumbersome slow and expensive to use and to get, It takes about 10 minutes to validate most transactions Using the cryptocurrency the transaction fee Has been at a medium Has been at a median $20 this year. Bitcoin’s unstable value has also made it an unviable medium of exchange. Now can this problem be solved

One of those cases is when a user with three plagiarisms in his history is not punished.

Unfortunately, the rules are level but not equal for everyone.
I am not sure my report was the reason he got banned but looks like the user has been banned now, I reported one of the user's post earlier and used the plagiarism report post you made as evidence, it is possible that mods missed the initial report you made against Kara3 that is why the user was not banned.

great catch on the plagiarism btw.

Oh boy... hahaha i saw this post and he got some merits on it too.... didn't suspect such a naive posts can be a copy paste case Cheesy

How difficult it was to put a link to it? I'm sure he should have got same merits and same attentions/discussion irrespective of this post from him or he/she is referencing it

Well done lovesmayfamilis... these will never learn a lesson otherwise.

Hello everyone,

I'm studying how to safeguard blockchain from quantum threats for my research assignment. Could you kindly share your thoughts on high level analysis on below techniques regarding security, technical feasibility, likelihood of adoption, Ease of use, performance etc.
•   Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
Post-quantum cryptography is a similar term that’s easily confused. While quantum cryptography describes using quantum phenomena at the core of a security strategy, post-quantum cryptography (sometimes referred to as quantum-proof, quantum-safe or quantum-resistant) refers to cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are thought to be secure against an attack by a quantum computer.  Post-quantum cryptography is all about preparing for the era of quantum computing by updating existing mathematical-based algorithms and standards.

•   Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
Quantum Key Distribution, or QKD, is the best-known example of quantum cryptography today. By transferring data using photons of light instead of bits, companies can take advantage of photons’ no-change and no-cloning attributes, which means that a confidential key transferred in this way between two parties cannot be copied or intercepted secretly. In this system, if a third-party eavesdropping on their communications attempts to learn about the key being established, the photon carrying the key changes state and that key will automatically fail, alerting the two parties that their communication is not secure.

•   Quantum cryptography
Quantum security also known as quantum encryption or quantum cryptography is the practice of harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics to bolster security and to detect whether a third party is eavesdropping on communications. Quantum encryption takes advantage of fundamental laws of physics such as the observer effect, which states that it is impossible to identify the location of a particle without changing that particle.
I'd greatly appreciate insights on their effectiveness, challenges, user-friendliness, and any other observations.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

As we all should know by now, El Salvador and the Central African Republic (CAR) are the only two countries in the world where Bitcoin functions as a legal currency.Despite free bitcoin and discounted gasoline offered to those downloading and using the cryptocurrency app(Chivo wallet for bitcon), download have stalled and use of bitcoin for daily life is not widespread in this countries.

I think this was a wrong move by the EL salvador President back in 2021, yes making Bitcoin legal tender could have posed the potential economic  boost needed by the country but giving from money to persons who have no ideas what to do with it will never support economic growth.it will just be wrongly spent and misused.i will drop a list of countries that may accept bitcoin as legal tender,

Russia, Ukraine and USA, following when the war ends Ukraine is likely to accept bitcoin as a mean of rebuilding thier economic faster, this can also cause US and Russia to take action.

Venezuela is in a terrible state now and could take the unexpected step.
and Saint Kitts and Nevis which is a near Caribbean to El salvador, depending if Salvador fortunes change Guatemala, and Honduras may follow.

The collapse of cryptocurrency platform ftx, it's Boss going to trail this week, its one to follow up on, with regulators still seeking to get to grips with the sector.He is facing seven counts of fraud that could send him to decades in prison.

Top highlight is deviation of investors fund to prop up its investment arm Alameda.

The European Union meanwhile adopted its Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation this year for comprehensive oversight to protect investors and consumers alike.

The truth remains Bitcoin and crytocurrencies in general will someday all be regulated by Gov., or investors are likely to see there money disappear in a flash.
