The list is likely bs, the exchange seems to have been hacked in 2018 and 500k BTC were worth a lot more than 500 million.

Also, where is Cryptopia and others?
Wake up fellow Bitcoiners:
That bitcoiners actually entertain the idea of scaling with Liquid is a complete mystery to me.
Next step is scaling with Visa and Mastercard.
but they offer privacy! :)
At least one is still saying Pura Vida.
Pura Vida mae!
Improving Bitcoin Baselayer Privacy with Dandelion++
"Dandelion was first proposed for Bitcoin routing on the Bitcoin mailing list in 2018, and has since been improved in Dandelion++, Dandelion Lite and Clover, and has been implemented in privacy first currencies and protocols like Monero and Mimblewimble. On Bitcoin, the implementation of Dandelion was rejected due to Denial of Service concerns."

on chain privacy is much needed on BTC
The point is, that you can still. But soon you can not. Fees will be way too high. That also means, self custody is not possible for most people.
With KYC, there is no freedom to transact when you have to suffer consequences after you did. Its the same with freedom of speech. When you can say what you want but afterwards you get punished, it is not freedom.
With low onchain fees, people can transact p2p. It is way harder to stop than people using trusted third parties which KYC them. This is not different to Paypal or a bank account. And this is what is happening.
If we learned anything from the canadian trucker protests, it is that we need to avoid KYC by all means and give people the power to self custody and transact with low fees, without intermediarys.
That was the whole point of bitcoin from the beginning.
Real Bitcoin is what is written in the Bitcoin Whitepaper. A p2p currency.
ok, thank you very much!
thank you for your answer. Sure that works, but what i mean is that the website and web app is issued by the same entity running the mint.
So it could log whatever is pasted into the text area as a ecash token and therefore should be able to log the sender and the receiver of the token on a application level, even before it is sent back to the mint to redeem it or not?
Curious to watch how long it will take number go up Bitcoiners to realize that Monero is what they thought Bitcoin is...
It is only getting worse over time with a fully transparent ledger. Wake the fuck up, Saylor Fanboys. Without on chain privacy, BTC as freedom money is dead.

What about phone in flight mode? Can we trust that in your opinion?
Read Hijacking Bitcoin if you have not yet. Seriously thought provoking.
I can recommend reading Hijacking Bitcoin from Roger Ver.
I feel pretty stupid that i believed the small blockers shit back then
BCH is under 1k and it doesnt have the fundamental problems BTC created for itself. Or more precisely - Blockstream and Lightning Labs. Took me fucking 7 years to realize that, but here we are.
Just one of those pesky coincidences.

do you have the full length video?
I thought so to, for a long time, but the more i watch what happens with BTC and the more i think about why i got into Bitcoin originally, the more i realize that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can still become Bitcoiner. It's easy, the best is to approach a Bitcoiner you already know (a friend or a friend of a friend).
You can still front run mega corporations turning their cash reserves into bitcoin.
If you keep your productive energy in fiat, it evaporates. If you consume it, entropy will take it - even memories fade with time, although make sure to make them.
It does not really matter much if you earn Bitcoin or you buy it. Don't overcomplicate. Self custodial wallet, buy and play.
Everything else will come with time - hardware wallets, inheritance, backups, deeper understanding. Just don't be that person that knows about bitcoin but does not have a personal experience with it.
At a later stage you might want to read Cryptocurrencies: Hack your way to a better life, in order to learn about many fun things you can do with Bitcoin. This one is unique that it shows you practical things, not only "we'll all be rich" hopium.

Which Bitcoin do you mean, BTC or BCH?
Serious question as BTC looks more and more like its going lose all its qualities which initially made it interesting. It was a P2P currency at some point, now it morphs into a custodial wallet ecosystem, fenced by KYC and AML and the tools which gave it some level of privacy get outlawed right now.
