WHAT IF, with all the paper bitcoin now owned by the suits, it is a measure to perpetuate the FIAT system. Blackrock, Fidelity etc pretty much run the world, they do this, under a FIAT standard, which I don't believe, they want to end. They can and will manipulate the price, just as they do with gold, in order for Bitcoin to not become "Too big", just a thought🤷🏻‍♂️.

Yep, not unlikely

It looks pretty evident price manipulation is happening, but I don’t believe this can be done on a large scale or long term.

They control the gold, but we control the coin and the mining.

Yes I know of the current dangerous state of mining centralisation 😞

I guess we'll just have to see how it all pans out Mike. Intriguing years ahead!

I’ve never had so much fun, and I’ve had a lot of fun.

Also if you wondered why I used a comma after the AND, it’s referred to as an Oxford comma and we invented it in Oxford 😂

Yes, Mike, I, am, familiar, with, the, OXFORD, comma,😜.

It’s great, isn’t it 😂

Scunthorpe colon is more my jam.

Fix your bloody wallet will ya. You're missing out on a whole 0.02GBP here!!

🙋‍♂️

I’ll take it 😁

Still not working? Damn, retirement put back another year.

Nope, it's still buggered. Maybe that was the cause of your Scunthorpe colon too🧐.

How about now?

Nope. Still up the wall....!!

But can send.... I don't like this use case lol

Ah, yes, seems to be working now but it wasn't 5 mins ago!

I restarted my node, maybe it hadn’t finished doing whatever the hell it was doing…

Glad it’s working again, retirement back on!

COMMAS ARE UNNECESSARY WHEN WE HAVE CAPS

Are you friends with Odell by any chance? 🤣

Was going to note something similar😂.

😂

I love Oxford commas, and anyone not using them is asking for trouble. The comma before the AND in my sentence is splitting 2 main clauses. It is not an Oxford comma.

Let battle commence.

I disagree, it is separating the final item in a list of two 😂

A list of two items does NOT require a comma.

E.g. I bought apples and oranges

It does in Oxford 😂

The price can't be manipulated for any meaningful amount of time.

The worst they can do with all this paper bitcoin is hurt people who don't learn to self custody.

Exactly, bitcoin was a good trial, but something better will come.

Whether they are actively doing it, I believe they want to, as a means to protect themselves.

Gold n Bitcoin are fundamentally different on how we could self custody
