Try BCH

Adding crypto won't help in a situation like this sadly, if there is content the payment processor dislikes and says you can not have, even if you only accept crypto for those products, they will still deny your merchant account.
They should certainly try again though with BCH instead of BTC. It would work so well.
Small block people really fucked us there, I thought we had made it when Steam accepted the first time..
..then boom.

Yeah, increase the block size. BCH already did it; it isn't hard. It's just really, really hard to get people to agree.

BCH is a hard fork - a completely different coin on a completely different programming language. BTC has been soft forked at times to include things like segwit and taproot if memory serves correctly. Omitting satoshi era addresses would simply be a soft fork. Quantum proofing the other 99% of wallet addresses would be also be another soft fork. So to make bitcoin as it is now completely 100% immune from quantum computing would essentially require two different soft forks, or implementing both at the same time is my (perhaps flawed) understanding.
Quantum proofing is something that we all want, no doubt.
But should we also completely omit satoshi-era wallets? Im on the fence about what should be done in this situation. Some people here have said that those coins should "remain lost forever." Others think that they should be retrievable via quantum. But do we want to see a quantum-inspired black swan event similar to what happened in March 2020 price-wise?

>As for the latter, isn't the lighting network doing quite well in the regard of BTC usage?
With 7tps on L1 it would take 30 to 60 years(!) for everyone to make a single channel opening transaction, no other traffic allowed.
L1 fees bleed into L2 which has caused to real trouble during past high fee events. This is the reason why almost all LN wallets are custodial these days. And also why all LN stats are stale or even pointing down. bitcoinvisuals.com/lightning
>Do you believe it will stop at the lighting network or will there be an even better solution except the one of using a fork?
The fork is the better solution. It is the only solution when the chain is captured and broken.
>I'm just curious why would someone use a fork if there is the real deal?
A fork is the real deal. If BTC would vanish today nobody would bet an eye and accept BCH as Bitcoin. A hardfork is nothing special. BTC hard forked before, just no contentious. For the capture they had to condemn hardforks because they are the tool against capture.

It will be another fork. Like BCH LTC

Yep, because the big investors will see it as, why make 1x or 2x gains on BTC when they can make 5x or more on other coins like BCH and ETH.

I call BCH to 2000 before end of the year
So there ya go

There is really only BCH as a fork.
BSV was invented by a scammer and guy who seriously tried to make people think he was Satoshi.

There is always a part of us that wishes we put all our money into the best option… but it seems like you are very much in an ‘all or nothing’ mindset… (however it makes sense to diversify and not have all your eggs in one basket) … it could be worth moving some money to a HYSA instead and taking some risk off the table? personally I have gone the other direction and moved savings into crypto as I could only generate 5% a year in HYSA (when in comparison XRP is up 392% over the last year…
WBT 339.1% SUI 328% XLM 310.7% BGB 308% AAVE 209.3% HBAR 193.9%
1 TRX 112.8% GT 91.8% XMR 87.9% FTN 82.5% BTC 73.6% ALGO 70.2% ADA 63.2% DOGE 57% LEO 40.5% TAO 36.3% QNT 36.3% LTC 26.7% BONK 23.4% BCH 22.4% BNB 15.4% LINK 10.9% CRO 7.9%…
ETH is down -9% over the last year… but not long ago it was 50% down… it does feel like you’re selling out just as excitement is starting to build again… the big shifts bring in a lot of interest … when things get crazy and euphoric is the time to be thinking about exiting imo

>Ask BCH how that went.
Have you *used* BCH? It works great lol.

Over the last year XRP is up 392%
WBT 339.1% SUI 328% XLM 310.7% BGB 308% AAVE 209.3% HBAR 193.9%
1 TRX 112.8% GT 91.8% XMR 87.9% FTN 82.5%

Even with a much smaller name XRP is competing with BTC in google searches. XRP can do everything BTC can do, but BTC can’t do everything XRP can do

GENIUS and CLARITY bills back on track. 1 will kill tether and make audited stablecoins the only option. The other makes cryptos such as BCH clearly non-securities and regulated as commodities by the CFTC rather than the SEC, cleaning up legacy laws made before crypto existed.

> Then you risk getting tainted coin
All digital. BTC in, then XMR/BCH CashFusion for fungibility, than non-KYC fiat out, say, to a card. No need to go anywhere, share personal information with anyone, no need to think about metal logistics. Way less single points of failure than with any metal
Even losing devices with hard drives to a fire or a thief would be just a marginal cost
A lot of upside vs fungibility risk if operated properly
> I use gold as payment with service like vercash/glint money
Never heard of either. Never seen a melting/cutting service on a street, only pawnshops. Often sketchy ones. I live in a city way outside US

It's not altruistic if you're interested in keeping your own money safe. It's a more direct fee but a very cheap one as it doesn't increase with usage.
I mean sure BCH can scale and I'd argue the consensus model needs smart contracts, cash tokens, NFTs and whatnot to keep miners' lights on. As a user I much prefer an old laptop in the corner of my room keeping a global money network safe for cheap than relying on someone that can jump ship as soon as "smelly cat coin fart token" is ASIC compatible and hyped in meme coin subs. So the bet is that the next "smelly cat coin fart token" is using a cashtoken contract to keep miners in the game.
There's also the threat of governments tracking miners down and pools centralizing power over block templates. It's even worse for segwit as they buy huge warehouses and paint an orange bullseye so the feds know where to find them.
Monero doesn't have a similar problem because the miners can't peek inside the transactions anyways, the mining algorithm is ASIC resistant, and they decided a fixed inflation was enough to keep miners interested.
Again because miners are not users and don't care about the currency, they care about paying their bills, so the incentive is all wrong. Mining Monero here in Brasil at the current prices is worse then just buying it, for example.
Adoption is not about exchange volume, miners, and hype, it's about powering a parallel economy. In that front we are way behind compared to Monero despite its flaws (which Bitcoin shares with it).
Nano found its niche in third world countries. Monero found its niche in DNMs.
