Yesterday a post of mine got a good amount of attention in this, my favourite, sub. So I have decided to post it here in full... More than mildly, it annoys us that we have the tools to be truly sovereign and yet we continue to submit our ourselves, and our bitcoin, to centralised authorities. " Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age "; yet KYC is demanded before we can trade. " Not your keys, not your coins "; yet millions of bitcoin sit in the vaults of custodial exchanges and wallets. For monetary liberty to be widespread it must be part of the social contract. We must come together to deploy decentralised systems that maintain Bitcoin's promise of sovereignty. These tools already exist and they are improving. Awakening Our Inner Apex Predator When Satoshi genetically engineered bitcoin, he spliced DNA from organisms that never survived (B-money, Hashcash, Bit gold). This gives bitcoin an incredible amount of survivability and f...

What’s the easiest way for me to buy 5k in BTC?
- Get link

- Other Apps
I’m Canadian if that matters. I’m looking to invest around 5k in BTC and looking for the easiest, most effective way to do so. I’ve already purchased a Trezor so thats how I’ll be storing it all. What platform should I use? Should I go to Toronto and use an ATM? This is my first time doing any of this and I’ve heard of many websites/ways to purchase BTC but some have a limit and other restrictions. Looking for advice. Is it better to buy it in lump sums? Or all at once? Or does it really matter. I don’t really do much stocks but have been wanting to invest in BTC for awhile and am in a financial situation to be able to do so. Any help/advice would be great! Thank you! Submitted August 31, 2020 at 06:24AM by jtww https://ift.tt/3jlNXdw

Sorry for the drama, but this is just outrageous. There are some things that should be off-limits, like deliberately lying to newbies. Have a look at this thread where a newbie asks for help buying Bitcoin, please don't bregade, comment or vote: https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ijksed/where_can_i_buy_bitcoin/ Archive: https://web.archive.org/save/https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ijksed/where_can_i_buy_bitcoin/ Apart from the normal "buy this altcoin instead for x and y reasons" the head moderator himself comes in and deliberately and knowingly gives a link to a site that sells an altcoin. To make it worse, it is his own site that he directly profits from. I have already reported it to the Reddit admins, people being this dishonest need to get ejected from cryptocurrencies IMO. They definitely should not be running subreddits. Submitted August 31, 2020 at 07:41AM by bitmegalomaniac https://ift.tt/3jrrV9d

The Fed’s looting is based in cowardice, mis-education, and deceit, but the media says “no problem here, move along now.” The People’s looting is based in desperation, risk-taking, and even courage to risk one’s own safety and do whatever it takes to get ahead/survive, but the media condemns the People looting as barbaric and never asks why the People have to resort to stealing.

I had 1,400 BTC in a wallet that I had not accessed since 2017. I foolishly installed the old version of the electrum wallet. My coins propagated.

I started buying btc ( which I never sold afterwards) in 2016, and have been holding only btc since then. I continue to hold it, and even buy it, even though today my so called btc stash is 20x its original price. Here is my opinion about btc's expected price action in next 2-3 years first point, there will be no parabola like late 2017, where btc price went 4x in about 4 months. 4x price action in such short range, will not happen, Because there are many exchanges like bakkt and cme, which allow shorting of btc. Which means that price action will not be drastic. the upward movement in price will continue for next 2-3 yeras, and beyond. Overall, I expect it to be at 18k at EOY, and at about 25k-40k at end of 2021. The price rise is happening due to demand from gbtc ( normal 401-k holders), and demand from recent buyer like Microstrategy , which is a mnc that bought staggering 22k btc. That 22k btc, btw, took price from 9k to 11k. So here you can see demand directly taking pr...

Soon after Satoshi made his big announcement more than a decade ago, a lot of concerns emerged pointing towards a crucial problem on his solution: scalability. Particularly since Mt. Gox, a lot started to change for Bitcoin. Out in the open, a multitude of crypto exchanges started popping up making Bitcoin and other coins easily accessible to pretty much anyone. Nevertheless, the original concerns on Satoshi’s proposal remained. In parallel and away from the spotlight, a group of passionate developers started crafting the solution to Bitcoin’s scalability problem. Today the solution is here and it’s name is the Lightning Network. Currently, users can access for free a wide range of Bitcoin Lightning wallets. Nevertheless, instant Bitcoin payments are still far from mainstream. Most of these wallets are extremely hard to use and as such are only catered to the most experienced of users. Despite that, the future of Lightning looks bright. As of today, there are over 11K Lightning nodes...

I always thought computers were simple. At their fundamental level, they are just 1s and 0s. An invisible dance of yes’s and no’s running through a sheet of silicon at billions of times per second. Computers are amazing and unique machines that will forever be apart of our lives. Our sheer dependence on computers motivated me to research the topic? As my understanding of this concept grew, so did my curiosity. I started researching computers as much as I could. I would spend hours a day browsing Youtube and reading articles just to satisfy my interest. That’s why when my dad first brought up the topic of bitcoin during my freshman year, I wasn’t surprised to hear his enthusiasm. I had learned much about this currency over my couple years of research, but I knew very little about how to actually make money off it. He had been tracking the price for a few months and was considering buying a few, just to see what would happen. Little did either of us know; the price of this virtual coin ...

I hope my story will help some of you to never repeat my mistake. I just got scammed the way I never even thought is possible ( some of you might heard about this but I never heard until today). Decided to cash some money out thru Coinbase, logged-in and copied BTC wallet address thru built-in Copy function as it shows on the screenshot below. Logged in Binance to sent the BTC to Coinbase and just pasted the address from the buffer without second thought. Pushed the transaction. 1hour later I realized that its different address and only first 4 symbols are same. Somehow my copy-paste buffer changed the address from right one to wrong one. Money lost. No way to recover it. Please dont repeat my mistake do not blindly trust to copy-paste buffer , your computer could be infected with malware that swaps addresses and it will be too late when you realize that. P.S: Since Coinbase not showing whole address and first 4 symbols were the same it was very easy to overlook https://preview...

With bitcoin I don’t need to worry about such trivial things. Everything is open for me to verify without any third parties trust. I have no idea how much gold is really out there. With bitcoin I know exactly how much is being produced and how many exist. I can’t send my gold anywhere in the world instantly. With bitcoin I can do it in the middle of the ocean from a satellite to someone anywhere on the globe I can’t sell a small portion of a gold coin instantly or pay for things easily. I would have to melt it in the crucibles to buy a taco from jack in the box. I can’t mine gold in my shed out back. I can with bitcoin, if I had the funds. Gold is for boomers. Bitcoin destroys gold.

He is expected to outline what could be the central bank’s most active efforts ever to spur inflation back to a healthy level. “Average inflation” targeting means the Fed will allow inflation to run higher than normal for a period of time. The effort will be the reverse of former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker’s rate hikes instituted to quash inflation in the 1980s.

This is only measured using LocalBitcoin, there are other exchanges like AIRTM, Uphold, Binance and so on, but no open data as far as I know.

I am some random redditor, remember. This is my opinion. But with a 21,000,000 max supply I cannot comprehend how Bitcoin will possibly not absolutely sky rocket. If only 0.25% of the world's population wanted to buy 1 BTC, that would completely cover the entire supply of Bitcoin. With the technology of the block chain and the exponential rise of technology, I cannot possibly fathom how Bitcoin could not continue to climb in the following decades. There are so many variables but Bitcoin seems so fundamentally flawless in principle. Am I missing something here? Every day that goes past I am saddened by the fact that I don't make enough to invest considerable amounts. Submitted August 23, 2020 at 09:30AM by jackrunit https://ift.tt/31j0mZy

So, ive been buying Bitcoin since 2017. I thought i was late and have heard people say the same who got in 2013. Maybe everybody thinks theyre late? Although in hindsight it feels like it would have been so easy to buy BTC when is was cheap. I ran some numbers to find out how it would have felt if I has found BTC 4 years earlier. Similar buys, similar time span. Turns out its more or less identical. So right now im actually a mofo with insignificant BTC stack in 2016, about to experience 2017 but not aware of it. This is an encouragement for every newbie. Just start! Everybody once felt like you! http://er-bybitcoin.com/moonmath/ Submitted August 22, 2020 at 03:33PM by jamespunk https://ift.tt/2YnjPqb

Storing your coins safely while not risking loss of keys

This was originally an answer to a question that was asked here, but OP deleted their post. This might help some newbies (especially the multisig edit at the end), so I want to make sure it's still accessible here. The original question was whether the Electrum wallet stores a Trezor's private key when using a passphrase. OP noticed that their Trezor wouldn't connect to their Electrum wallet when entering a different passphrase than they used when creating the wallet. Thus, OP (likely) assumed that the wallet stored the private key, as it somehow knew that a different private key was now used. Here is my original answer (with some modifications): IMPORTANT: I'm assuming here that you connected your Trezor by choosing the "hardware wallet" option in Electrum, rather than giving Electrum your 12/24 seed words. TL;DR: No, your coins are safe :) I'm assuming by passphrase ) you mean the 25th (or 13th) word. When you have this feature enabled, a private...

Yes it happened, finally. This is what freedom feels like. For me is not about speed or scale, or even cheap fees. It's about freedom. For around 6 years I've been working remotely from my third world country for companies abroad, receiving my salary in USD. Regulations in my country still have not catch up yet, so my funds are frozen by my bank from time to time. They ask me for an official contract to validate my income, but what I show them does not meet their expectations. "Virtual contract? What is even that?". They want something signed by pen. All this damn hassle just to receive and use my hard-earned money as I see fit. But today, I'm free. Bitcoin is the true breaker of chains, and the only way forward.

The “Buffett Indicator” has hit levels unseen since the dot-com bubble, and Bitcoin could see a major reaction in the event of a major crash in stocks. Does this provide any glimpse into Bitcoin’s long-term trend? According to Tom Essaye, the founder of Sevens Report Research, stocks are considered as “fundamentally overvalued” when the Buffett Indicator hits 1.3. The current level of 1.7 indicates that there is a potential for a steep downtrend in the stock market if the trend reverses.

I've definitely given this food for thought before, but now I feel like I need to get a little more serious with it... How do you plan to pass your Bitcoin onto your heirs?? I had read before about someone having a will/trust/whatever that listed half of the key, and then another document that would point to a safety deposit box that had the other half of the key. Otherwise, how else can you pass it on??? Nobody's gonna know your passwords, keys, etc. This guy told me he had a lot of BTC that he could retire off of. Poof. Gone forever. I know haters gonna hate, but I feel like this is one area that paper wallets really are the best. Just my opinion, at least... Submitted August 22, 2020 at 03:56PM by grndslm https://ift.tt/31kzKHK

Lets start off by saying I have called a lot of the dips back in 2016-2020 just check my posts on here and bitcointalk. I know this might dip, and hell we might even see 10,500-11K again. There is just too many forces at work for this not to go a lot higher though. #1 is you have Greyscale and other companies picking up huge amounts of bitcoin almost double even what the miners are able to produce per block. Simply put the supply is dwindling and the upward pressure will be too strong at some point. The miners tend to sell some of their rewards, but they are not selling all. #2 The dollar is in a really bad situation here. If people are noticing the main correlation of where bitcoin price goes it lies in the strength/weakness of the dollar. With 28 trillion in debt I am not sure how we make it out of this hole. I don't think you will see it completely collapse, however the printing presses are really going full tilt which inflation is under control right now, but for how long ? ...

This is an entirely hypothetical scenario where the price of btc really does go to the moon, or even beyond in a manner similar to PlanB's stock to flow model. Phase 1, bitcoin continues to rise in price from its current level of about $12,000. Some in the investing industry take notice and move into btc as a reserve asset, but so far bitcoin continues to remain an asset few are thinking about and fewer are investing in. Phase 2, the price of bitcoin has risen to $50,000 and what was once one or two corporations investing is now a handful. Bitcoin is now in the news fairly regularly and CNBC now displays a ticker. A few more corporations are investing and the Robin Hood crowd is starting to really take notice. The DXY has dropped from the low 90's to the high 80's. Congress finally passed another round of stimulus and even more people are beginning to seriously discuss UBI as both parties want to do whatever it takes to get into office.

During the Christmas of 2012, we teamed up with Bitcoin Black Friday to be one of the first apparel companies to accept Bitcoin for purchases. We had no idea if anyone would actually buy anything with their bitcoin, but we were new and small and we were looking for ANY revenue streams. There were a couple of great processors that we knew we could convert back into dollars quickly and not lose too much money if the price of bitcoin went down (Laughing at this thought right now). The price at that time for a bitcoin was around $13 each. We had more than 2000 coins come through the website that Christmas. We talked about holding them, but then bills and running a business got in the way. Today those 2000 coins would be worth $22 Million dollars. If only we had held on. Anyways, i do own Bitcoin today, but only a fraction of 1 bitcoin. The irony of that is so funny. Now I buy and hold, but holy cow what if! :) Submitted August 21, 2020 at 01:25AM by rememberdan13 https://ift.tt/3l3Dk...

Hey guys, I’m a newbie in this trending crypto technology ( Bitcoin to be specific). Which platform can I use to instantly buy my Bitcoin at a relatively low price? I’ve tried coinbase but its fees are outrageously high. Moreover, a platform that would allow me to make quick payments with Bitcoin for any type of goods and services even if the merchant has a traditional POS terminal (fiat). I’ve heard of Lightning Network (LN), which I find an interesting concept of solving the unending debate of buying a cup of coffee for BTC and has accelerated transactions too. I’m lured into trying this tech but my concerns are, should I put all my head into it when we all know most merchants haven’t embraced it yet? Then, with all these sophisticated techniques behind it will I send Bitcoin via LN to my peer without them having to understand those nitty-gritty details? Thank you for your help.

Here are a few things you can do to keep your Bitcoin safe: #1 Use Hardware Wallet: Hardware Wallets are considered one the safest solution to store your bitcoin. Your private Keys stay offline so chances of a hacker stealing your bitcoin are relatively low. Wallets like Trezor and Ledger are two of the most popular wallets currently in the market. #2 Never Store your Bitcoin on Exchanges: Most of the major Bitcoin hacks have always taken place at an exchange. Such platforms are always the high target for cybercriminals thus storing your bitcoin/crypto there is not a good idea. Always withdraw your assets once the trade is made and store them in your personal wallet(s). #3 Use separate wallets for daily use and savings: It is always wise to keep your daily use bitcoin and savings in separate wallets. If you are using bitcoin for daily transaction your wallet will spend a much higher time online, which increases its risk of getting hacked. Only keep a small amount in such wa...

The most I'd ever sell is 10%, and that's only if they offer me 10 million per coin. After that, I don't care if they offer me 1 billion per coin I ain't selling shit.

I just did a bitcoin deal and it did not go well. They demanded that I use a fresh blockchain.com wallet. I created a new wallet (usually I use Samourai), because I did not see why this would be a problem. Blockchain is an established company so no problem. They sent me the coins. We waited for 2 confirmations. The guy left. As I was just about to send the money to my other wallet, I saw a new transaction in my wallet, sending all the money away. I quickly tried to double spend myself by writing a manual transaction but I wasn't fast enough. The money is gone. How is this possible?! They guy never touched my phone. I had a brand new wallet. And we waited for confirmations on the chain (I checked on other block explorers as well, the confirmations were real). My only guess is that my phone is compromised somehow, or that there is a blockchain hack. He sent me a smaller test amount first. From that first transaction, could his hacker friend who was obviously doing the attack i...

And since it's so little value at once, they shouldn't be subject to AML laws.

Make the fees just enough to break even. Popularizing Bitcoin is worth far more than making ATM income. You might get too many quarters. Well, businesses are literally short on change. So you could probably get a premium on those quarters under the right circumstances. How would it work? Coin slot - quarters only, screen with instructions, indention with camera for scanning your QR code from your phone. You could add a button for batching. So if you want to buy $1.75 of BTC, you put in your 7 little quarters and hit the GO button. You don't even need a button. Just scan the phone when you're ready to withdraw the Bitcoin you paid for.
