A fun way to keep track of the BTC/USD price

I was looking on the web for something which showed the bitcoin price using funny animations, but could not find anything. So I decided to code something myself: A biker who rides on a landscape the curvature of which follows the BTC/USD price live: https://www.thebitcoinrider.com/ https://preview.redd.it/y9g3orm3igw51.png?width=718&format=png&auto=webp&s=feba54d26da3e74fa255c88e0727c95318644f27 I just started this out and would be glad to get some feedback, before refining the implementation. One thing that I'm presently thinking to introduce are background landscapes which show the price at different time frames. Also, I would be curious to know if something like that already existed on the web. Submitted October 31, 2020 at 09:25PM by ChartInsights https://ift.tt/3mA4WKw

I hate spending money...

Just wondering if this is a "bitcoiner" trait or any likeminded people out there. I've always been a saver, and ever since becoming involved in bitcoin for a few years back, I've been appealed to the self-sovereign, store of value, philosophy. I've always just put my leftovers of my paycheck in bitcoin. Every time I contemplate spending money for something I don't really need (outside of food, rent, transport, bills etc.) I've always asked myself, "Do I really need xyz, or can I put that extra money toward bitcoin?" Basically every month, 3 things happen on payday: 1. I pay off my monthly credit card in full (since all my expenses and bills are on a cc), 2. I pay my monthly rent (since it cannot be paid on credit), and 3. I put all the leftovers in a savings account and/or in bitcoin. Then I repeat this every month at payday. I have 2 numbers to review each month, how much I spent on my cc, and how much I saved/put in bitcoin as leftovers. I&#

How to get Bitcoin in your 401K

Hello all, My company currently has our 401k set up through Merril Lynch. I called Merril to see if they offered cryptocurrencies as an option for investments in our 401k. To which I found out that my company is the entity that chooses the list of potential investments for the employees to choose from. Has anyone here attempted to get their company to open up the possibility to invest in crypto in their 401k? If so, how did you convince them? I want to reach out to whoever handles our benefits and see if that would be a possibility. Does something like this cause the company too many problems than it may be worth?

Transaction stuck? Read this

In the last days we have been experiencing a sharp rise in price, which is historically correlated with many people transacting over the Bitcoin network. Many people transacting over the Bitcoin network implies that the blockspace is in popular demand, meaning that when you send a transaction, it has to compete with other transactions for the inclusion in one of the blocks in the future. Miners are motivated by profits and transactions that pay more than other transactions are preferred when mining a new block. Although the network is working as intended (blockspace is a scarce good, subject to supply/demand dynamics, regulated purely by fees), people who are unfamiliar with it might feel worried that their transaction is “stuck” or otherwise somehow lost or “in limbo”. This post attempts to explain how the mempool works, how to optimize fees and that one does not need to worry about their funds. TL;DR: Your funds are safe. Just be patient* and it'll be confirmed at some point. A

Mempool stuck again...

It is absolutely great to see that bitcoin is rising but once again the mempool is stuck with transaction fees rising to almost $5 and more. Transactions with low fees are getting stuck for days and still not confirming. Some people argue that if you want quick confirmation then use lightning network, but the truth is that lightning network is not that widely supported, its good for microtransactions and still risky. Is there no solution to bitcoin's rise in fees every time its price rises? Anyhow if your transaction is stuck in the mempool, you can check the status using a block explorer that also gives you an estimate of confirmation time. Mempool Blockonomics Before sending a bitcoin transaction it is always advised to send the appropriate fees if you want to have it confirmed quickly, wallets now usually give you an estimate of the fees along with the corresponding confirmation time. You can still check for an estimate of the fees here: Bitcoin Fees Bitcoin Conges

Revenge of the Austrians

People often speak of Bitcoin having its roots in the cypher punk community, but I view Bitcoin has having multiple roots that only became a viable currency when these roots merged. The technical contributions of the cypher punks are tremendous, but perhaps even more significant is Bitcoin's roots in Austrian monetary economics. Throughout the history of humanity, there has been tremendous struggle over money with government consistently growing to take control of the money supply--and it's creation. This happens today in the form of Keynesian central banks expanding the money supply to finance the endless desire of government to spend and consume beyond what it would be able to without the ability to create new currency units at negligible cost. But this Keynesian practice was common throughout history as well, of course it was known by a different names then , but it was Keynesianism all the same. Wherever productive and free people managed to save any significant wealth f

For Christmas I decided to offer 0.01 bitcoin to my relatives in order to make them aware about bitcoin and start questioning themselves about it. I invite you to do the same and involve them in this new financial revolution.

For Christmas, I decided to offer 0.01 bitcoin to my relatives and motivate them to learn more about them. I invite you to do the same with the amount you can afford to give. The most important is the intention of involving them. My plan is to ask them to download a bitcoin wallet during the family dinner we’ll have on the 24th, even the kids, actually they are my biggest target, because they are the future. Then I will give everyone 0.01 bitcoin and also tell them to write their paraphrase on a piece of paper and preciously keep it. The app will show them the value so they might get surprised but it’s fine. I know the kids won’t be able to cash out as they are between 9 and 15 years old, but the rest might ask me how so I’ll tell them of course but I prefer if they hodl for a while. At least they will set up a Kraken account and be ready for later. Which app would you recommend to download? I would go with trustwallet but if there’s better I don’t mind. I will tell them about ha

How I lost all my BTC savings being greedy with futures trading.

I hope this post will be a big lesson for those who are in the same situation as i was, as well as I am seeking for any advice that could help me through this tough times. So back in 2014 I first learned about Bitcoin and I loved the idea of cryptocurrency so much, that in 3-4 years from learning about it when I became 18, I started investing and trading. As time went by I was investing small amounts, trading, and apparently slowly losing my money, but at that time it was ok because that were small amounts which I could afford to lose. In 2019 i moved from a poor country in Europe, for a better life to London. I was working in London and by the end of 2019 I got almost 3k£ in Btc, that were my savings. But then the worse started to happen, I loved trading, have read many books, got through tutorials, and was slowly trading my way up, and then I discovered the futures with up too 100x. At first I used low leverages, up to 10, then being greedy and not taking profits I always ended

Something regarding the older generation and bitcoin I realized today.

During a family sit down a few weeks ago I looked on my phone for the charts, my grandfather, sitting next to me said “you are a slave to bitcoin”. (I think he meant my phone but we talked bitcoin right before) uncomfortable silence for a few moments. After several seconds I responded: “bitcoin will and has set me free from the slavery you endorsed your whole life”. (Hour long discussion about the monetary system afterwards). Apparently he was still under the impression bitcoin was a project that might fail any second which was highly volatile, speculative and even criminal. My grandfather is pretty up to date with technology and appreciates learning from each conversation he has especially with the younger generations. He eventually agreed this was a revolutionary technology and embraced my enthusiasm. He also noted how our current governance is defect and this might solve it. What really touched me he said he was excited for the future we are heading to which was very promising c

Warning - Buying Bitcoin through TrustWallet - misleading quotes - high fees

Hi all, Usually I use Cashapp to buy my Bitcoin (weekly, I DCA) and then I store in in Trustwallet, which is a mobile wallet owned by Binance. I noticed they added a "buy BTC" option directly in the TrustWallet app, so I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, they outsource the actual crypto buying process to a sketchy company, which uses misleading tactics. As you can see from this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/eknji0Z.png US$5000 was to purchase 0.41635 BTC, an amount that I'm happy with. However, at checkout, they change the deal to this: https://i.imgur.com/oSQoNPd.png In simple terms, they wanted to sell me 0.43092 BTC for $5000, and then added a $175 "processing" fee. That's more Bitcoin than I wanted to buy, more fiat than I wanted to spend, and it brings the base price of the bitcoin from $11,603, to $12,009, a far larger number. I would have no problem with this if they were upfront about the fees and what they are doing, but now I have sour tast

I’m not hodling

Well, I know that hodling is the smartest move about Bitcoin. Specially if you still into fiat money, what explains your patience to see it worth ten thousand times the value you purchased just to sell for money again. I think differently. Of course I hodl a bit of it, but my major usage of Bitcoin is making the system work. I turn it into an ecosystem to a point that in some time we won’t be needing fiat anymore. Currently I buy beer and pizza with Bitcoin, the only two things in my town that accept it. I want to make the ecosystem pulse. There’s a restaurant being opened here that will accept it as well.

Tonight I hit my goal I wanted from the get go. I am more than comfortable with the position, and its locked away for my kids in cold storage. Literally every day didn't miss one. It taught me discipline and experiencing highs and lows.

This is it.

I don't plan to sell ANY bitcoin for USD in the future. Instead, I will take bank loans against my bitcoin, using the btc as collateral and purchase more rental properties. Then, mortgage/refinance the property, and use that cash to pay back the bank for my bitcoin loan. Rinse and repeat, etc. Get more renters and properties, and with the cash flow, pay off the mortgages and buy more bitcoin. Remember kids, you pay capital gains tax when you sell your bitcoin. Take a low interest loan instead and use the loan to buy cash flow generating assets. Use your money to make more money, pay as few taxes as possible, and buy more bitcoin. I don't feel confident holding fiat cash, especially considering the USD money supply increased by 22% in year 2020 alone. I don't feel confident investing in the stock market with the state of the current economy, the aftermath and ongoing problems related to covid, and the incompetence of government handling stimulus.

Does anybody know how I can find someone that can trade their gold for Bitcoin in Lebanon?

The situation in Lebanon is dire since their currency has lost more than 50% of their value this year and the banks are not even allowing withdrawals anymore. My friends father has most of his lifes savings in the form of physical gold (6 figures worth in USD) in a safe and he needs to find a way to transfer this value out of the country. He cannot fly with all of it for obvious reasons and he cannot trust the shipping services there due to the corruption. So the best way is to own bitcoin for it to be able to transfer it to his son in the USA. The issue is, how do we find someone locally who would have bitcoin and want gold for it?

I finally looked into how the Lightning Network works, and holy shit it's a game changer (on top the already existing game changer, btc). Zero fee transactions or extremely low fee transactions (depending on the number of hops in the payment path). Even 1 or 10 sat tx for 0 fee, if you have a payment channel open with the node you're paying. If you're interested in learning about Lightning, these videos are pretty good: 402 Payment Required: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmoQ11MXEmajsUw95Fq6fHzXnVmoMPIeV We know Btc is going to dominate as a store of value, but Lightning is going dominate as a scalable payment network This will put so much pressure on Visa, Cirrus, Paypal, Venmo, etc after it gets more adoption.

Hi all, I have been reading into BTC for months now and am sold on the idea of BTC. Have liquidated my entire portfolio (>100K USD) to invest in BTC. As it stands, my portfolio is 100% BTC. Before you guys call me stupid, I am investing as much as I can afford to lose. It did not take me very long to save this money and my earning potential is growing rapidly. If I were to lose all my BTC tomorrow, my quality of life will not change (although my aspirations of retiring early may change). Also, I have become my own bank. Feeling incredibly empowered :) How many out there have done the same? TL;DR Sold over 100K in stonks to go 100% in BTC ​ EDIT: Lots of comments about keeping quiet about the amount of BTC I have. Is there something that I am missing? This is a brand new throwaway account. I don't ever plan on disclosing my age, location, sex etc etc. Why would I be a target for hackers/thieves when in actuality, there is no proof I have 100k in BTC. I could have 10 do

Consider advocating for Cash App (especially if you're a bitcoin maximalist)

The reasoning is this: Jack Dorsey, the owner of cash app is a bitcoin maximalist, and I genuinely believe that he acts with bitcoin's best interests at heart. Cash app only allows for buying and selling of bitcoin (and not altcoins) The problem with other exchanges is that they don't act with bitcoin's best interest at heart. They allow altcoins to pay to be put on their exchanges, even low quality ones. This siphon funds from bitcoin and when they are exposed as scams and crashed, smears Bitcoin's reputation. So why help these exchanges that don't act with our best interests at heart? We are providing them with fees and perhaps more importantly, liquidity, which is key to many large investors when choosing an exchange. Consider advocate for cash app if you're bitcoin maximalist!

Mom just FOMO’d

Last week I was passing by the living room and guess what, she was out of the blue watching the documentary about BTC in Africa. I didn’t say shit, so after she finished watching she just said “it’s like a payment system”. Today she FOMO’d and bought some for the first time. As another user posted here, let’s keep the bears in their fucking cages. It’s happening sooner than later. EDIT: Guys, I ain't a newbie to BTC. Been here for years, athough with another profile. I'm teaching her the basics and she will just hold indefinetely as she does not need the money she put in and can afford to be wrong. In the short term of course we expect some kind of correction. In the long run, however, it is a win-win situation. Safe ride everyone! Submitted October 22, 2020 at 10:19PM by reddito321 https://ift.tt/31yD41l

After seven years in Bitcoin, I have never been more confident that this network is now absolutely unstoppable. Nothing short of an extinction level event can stop Bitcoin from slowly but surely growing as a global, agnostic, alternative network for storing and transferring value.

Back in 2013 when the entire market cap hit $1 Billion for the first time, it was really scary to put a considerable amount of money in BTC. You might like Bitcoin and find it interesting but doubt would still creep up in your mind about its staying power and the fact that one bug could bring it all down. Mt. Gox got hacked, 800,000 BTC stolen, it crashed from $1200 to $190 by 2015, so how do you even believe that 5 years later it would be a sustained $200+ billion market? Yet here we are. As long as the Bitcoin blockchain is churning out new blocks of unstoppable transactions, that's all that matters. Naysayers don't understand that this is all Bitcoin needs to do: Churn out new blocks every ten minutes. And with every new block, a monumental amount of energy and work is stacked on top of the previous block, and so on, and so forth, making it stronger. At 99.98% uptime for 11 years , it's sticky enough to now last much longer than that . This network will be transferring

In the last year, I was really upset that I couldn't invest my 401k into any Bitcoin funds. I was considering a 401k loan just to buy some more. After losing my job last month, I was considering withdrawing it all to buy BTC, even though I'd suffer a >30% tax. I decided to roll over into an IRA until 2021 to at least push the tax penalty into 2022. However, when I opened my account today, I was very happy to see that I could purchase GBTC. I'm all in.

DO NOT trust your memory

Been in bitcoin since early 2013. Set up a hardware wallet about a year ago and almost didn’t write down my password/pin because it was such a personal number to me I would always remember it. Guess what? I have no clue what it is a year later and just wiped my hardware wallet after too many incorrect guesses. Which was only like five attempts. Never had anything like this happen before in all my bitcoin experience. So.... a warning to everyone that no matter how new or experienced you are, your memory is NOT good enough to store your private key.

ROOM77 is closing for good. We think our mission is accomplished and it is time to go back to our home planet. Thanks for all the fish and the generous tips!

We are people from a solar system not yet discovered by humanity and have been watching your species for the last 30.000 years. We had reason to believe that Homo Sapiens will go the same way as Erectus, Neandethalensis and the Denisovans. However, when we discovered that the Nakamoto guy invented Bitcoin, we realised that you do have a future. Once a civilisation has developed a planetary hard money system it usually does not take long until its members become peaceful and start putting their resources into developing longevity and space travel instead of governments and weapons. The first ten years of such a money are crucial, as there are always forces who want to hold back development and keep you in chains. We therefor stopped by, occupied that little joint in Berlin Kreuzberg and started promoting and explaining the importance of this step to the unaware public and offering a place where the development of the technology is being driven forward. And we had a great time doing so

Thoughts on using sect571k1 as a "emergency break glass" fallback to a formal PQC sig?

Going over the secp256k1 spec, I was reading through to the sect571k1 secion (3.7.1). Might it be a good PQC stop-gap upgrade to secp256k1 ? It is still defined on a Koblitz curve giving the higher level of efficiency compared to random parameter selection and offers 15360 bit DSA equivalency compared to the current 3072 bit equivalency (5x increase). Agreed the signatures are twice (2.23) as large and and would require twice the (witness) block space as well as much heavier load on verifying nodes, but perhaps it is a viable alternative given that it would require 5x as many qubits (in theory) to factor. If QC arrives in the next 50 years, might it be convenient to have a PR ready to deploy to simply "kick the can" down the road another century?

Don't get caught with Butt-Money.

Brazilian police catch senator hiding cash between his buttcheeks, source says Plane passenger caught smuggling gold nuggets in rectum to avoid taxes Not advocating what either of these guys did, but seriously - bitcoin is so much easier to move, won't make you walk funny, and doesn't smell bad at the end of the day.

I just bought 0.4 of a bitcoin

In hindsight I realise this is probably classic FOMO and there are people up 100% from March and there may be a crash. I wanted to buy a month ago and I would've bought more but I figured the price rose too much...then it kept rising. Are my potential returns marginal compared to the potential risk I could be facing? I figured this was the case hence only buying 0.4 of a bitcoin but I didn't want to miss out completely if this really takes off.

Who is selling?

With microstrategy, grayscale, square, and others buying all those bitcoin, I’m pretty shocked the price isn’t skyrocketing. Who is selling that much bitcoin to them and why? Submitted October 16, 2020 at 07:12PM by idynkydnk https://ift.tt/340xmai

Theres going to be a massive transfer of wealth soon and it's going to be weird.

There will be time i'm guessing where the global consciousness switch will look around and see theres no other opinions than decentralised finance sitting over in the corner chilling, and i think it'll be a really bizarre moment to experience thats all i can say to describe it. I mean i feel like you're going to have kids in their basement with jeff bazos money. God i hope people in the community have good souls to give back to the community that will be suffering and we don't offer the same lack of compassion that the old financial system spared us in the first place.

Fun fact: The current block subsidy (6.25 btc) is the same number as the percentage of total coins (6.25%) that will be issued over the course of this current emission era. This is true for all emission eras.
