its tough out there being a progressive bitcoiner

if someone has a meaningful amount of bitcoin, say 15, would you feel comfortable pointing them to a singlesig + passphrase or is that time to graduate to multisig?

nah, trump flip flopped on it again as usual. reset cancelled. negotiation over with no one winning. mission accomplished.

he's not even 79 yet

private selling would be nice too

even trump disagrees with you. he isn't as stupid as you to blame the previous administration but instead is setting up jerome powell as the scapegoat for his own retardedness:

"it was gonna happen anyway"

i guess with that attitude, no blame ever lays at trump's feet.

"it was gonna happen anyway"

i'll say that to my boss next time i fuck something up at work causing us to lose trillions of dollars

number go up

you had to say it, time for bart

yep, its a theory that you and many bitcoiners share. it doesn't seem like the general market agrees with this theory, but that doesn't mean you can't end up being right.

personally, i'd bet that in a decade, gold will still have a higher market cap than bitcoin.

i think most of the world central banks like gold. i don't believe any (except el salvador) have a single bitcoin in their reserves.

the central banks have some serious firepower and are pulling out of dollar denominated assets (stocks and treasuries) since trump started his trade war. they are quite obviously piling into gold.

if any single one of them put even a small % of those sales into bitcoin, we'd be well over 100k.

remember, the 25%+ increase in gold value this year added more than 5 bitcoin market caps to gold's market cap

yep. but these are just our dreams/desires. they're not reality. no one in the administration has said or hinted at doing this.

i'll be pleasantly surprised if they do it though, especially given trump's gold pumping tweet this morning

nope, wouldn't trust they'd give it to me at the end

hopefully you're right. when you look at it in market cap terms, you understand why sovereign nations go to gold though. when you need a place to stuff trillions, you can't go to bitcoin yet, its still too young/small.

its nice to see bitcoin ripping again finally.

crazy to see how much market cap gold has added compared to bitcoin though. really shows how early we are.

I'll believe it when I see it. Still haven't seen any update on the audit of bitcoin owned by the government or the actual implementation of the strategic reserve...

yeah, this bot has got to go. cycles are broken.

the world is bigger than america. gold has been and continues to be bought and used around the world.

does that help you understand?

A few key excerpts from a Reagan appointed appeals court judge on Trump illegally sending Garcia to the El Salvador gulags. I think there are many elements that bitcoiners who claim to care about freedom should be absolutely horrified by.

It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody

that there is nothing that can be done.

This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear

The Executive possesses enormous powers to prosecute and to deport, but with powers come restraints. If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?

If you'd like to read the whole thing, its quite short:
