And with a bit of namespacing and/or object orientation and usage of dots, it becomes perfectly readable.

There are also camel case and underscores in other languages...

BTW: How on earth should a newcomer know that the letter "n" in that word stands for number without having to google it? The newcomer could even assume that it's a letter of the word string..... And even, if you know that it stands for number, it's still hard for me to understand what it means in this context... I actually had to google it... But that's probably some C++ convention I don't know about, because I don't program in C++.....

Why are they even named like this?

When I read code, I want to be able to read it.....

Is this from a time when space was expensive and you wanted to reduce the space of the source files on the devs PC???

For me (with a native language != english), this made it a lot harder to get into programming in the first place.

There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead... Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.

They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it's easily possible without breaking encryption.

IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.

This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.

That's probably true, but just to highlight this: Bitcoin is not untraceable

Well, there are countries like Turkey with a currency that lost 95% of its value during the last 10 years. In such countries, Bitcoin is a way to have a currency that does not have a guarantee to ruin you. When your country has 60% inflation like Turkey, the deflation currency might be seen as a gift. So, this might be a legal use case..

Let's ignore crypto for a second...

People in the USA loose around $10.000.000.000 per year to scams according to FTC...

And for donations to Wikileaks, we don't want the government to be able to reverse or block them. That's what PayPal did with then before Bitcoin was invented.

I don't think that Bitcoin can or should replace the current system, but it can be an addition for rarer cases.

But yes: Most of the other blockchain stuff is just completely useless and therefore not used.

In Germany, we have a guy Wallraff, who gets a job at Burger King with a fake identity every few years, just to uncover hygiene scandals every time... Reminds me of that... Nowadays, no one seems to care anymore...

Please tell me where I (or anyone) wrote "Bitcoin provides stability" without comparing it to another currency....

I assume, arguing with you is an endless circle where you argue against fake arguments that no one has brought up. I'll therefore end this here. Why are you like this?

Turkey's currency dropped 83% in the last 5 years and 94% in 10 years (per USD). And by the way: It dropped and did not rise the same amount ever again...

Why can't we just agree that different people might have different views whether it's useful for them?

Is it more stable compared to USD? No. Is it more stable compared to dozens of other currencies? Yes.

I think, there are very good arguments against BTC, for example the energy consunption... But whether it's too risky for you or not... That's highly subjective IMO. There is no country on this planet with only BTC as official currency. So, no one is forced to hold 100% of their total money in BTC.

I think, whether it's helpful is an individual decision. E.g. for people in Turkey, it's a lot more stable than their own currency. Same logic for probably dozens of other countries...

Maybe, it's not useful for you, but that's OK. No one is trying to replace your currency with it and force you to use it.

Short reminder that Bitcoin was created as a reaction on the world finance crisis and to allow people like Assange to receive donations, because PayPal and similar just blocked them...

That does not mean that Botcoin is perfect, but: If the alternative system was perfect, there was not bitcoin.

Now, do we need an emoji? I don't care TBH..
