I’ve noticed more relevant diversity in stock movement. Do you think someone in power told Blackrock to stop pumping and dumping the entire market for 5% because people were starting to notice? 😏
Oh so bad, but tasty. I’ve often considered just chewing donuts and spitting them out. I’d get all the flavor with none of the feeling awful! Donut shops with a spittoon next to each stool. Lol. People do it with tobacco, why not sweets? Equally bad for your health probably.
I received 50, what did it cost you and is this WOS or Phoenix?
Lol. One of his not so far fetched delusions?
I just read Andrew Tate has been charged with rape in Romania…ok, those are his choices and problem, what I find interesting and relevant is that Romanian authorities seized his Bitcoin assets rumored to be worth $300 million. It seems likely Tate would have had those assets in some secure wallet. If it can happen to him, it can happen to you if you run afoul of the law. Bitcoin is not substantially different or better than fiat in the banking system, and because of the public blockchain it is substantially worse than fiat in a safe at home.
I am positively the worst boss I have ever had.
Probably the lead water pipes, and the cooking of acidic fruit in lead pans to make sweet tasting lead plumbate II to drink didn’t help.
UBI? Depopulation? Reproductive eugenics? I don’t see many other options.
My theory is that Bitcoin was Steve Jobs’ parting gift to humanity. Admittedly the guy was an asshole, but he loved the dream that is humanity at his core. The timing is right…
Why would either of those countries do a thing like create Bitcoin?
Ah yes. The difference between a security and a currency. I’d argue that we need Bitcoin to be a currency and right now, it simply isn’t suitable as such.
Yep. Plausible deniability. We all count on it more than we even know. I’m sure I break 100 laws every day. The key is, the people who would act on it legally don’t know about it, and more importantly lack the evidence to prove it. The laws we have are largely unenforceable and ridiculous, mix them with an agenda and a public ledger though and it’s likely problematic.
Well….if it’s your entire life savings that get blacklisted, it won’t matter to you why it happened or who did what with the currency you had before it was seized. It’s all fun and games until it’s your millions and there isn’t more where it came from. I’m not trying to fear monger here, but I think there are some issues worth pondering for both users and developers. How is Bitcoin all that different functionally from a CBDC is it’s ultimately vulnerable to seizures?
Every US bill has a serial number, but it’s the lack of evidence that prevents the conviction of the person possessing the currency. Suspicion is not proof thankfully. The economy itself is a huge US dollar laundromat. Just ask any politician. 😁
I think the key here is the “new” when the currency changes hands. I think we all know that when the currency’s previous crime is egregious enough and a ready record exists, along with the prospect of government seizure of massive amounts of value, there is no legislation that will stop the law from being applied unreasonably. Keep in mind that those who have the “gold” make the laws, primarily laws that help them accumulate more “gold”.
I think money in and of itself is meaningless. Wealth is accurately measured in capital, and they are certainly not the same thing, contrary to widely held beliefs.
I think Monero has a good start, but adoption is slow and so are transactions. My opinion is that Lightening is brilliant, but it needs fast, encrypted, zero-proof confirmation technology.
I believe so. Frankly identical seashells work if we all agree on the value, no way it’s practical, gold or seashells. I think someone brilliant has to bring ZCash obfuscation technology to Bitcoin. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m ?
