You know all my life ive been subject to peoples power hierarchy and ive always felt like people were always better than me and i like to discourage my real accolades idk why, but Bitcoin gave me new light! No one in the old world knew what they were doing I always thought older people had stuff figured out but it turns out we are all the same just as confused just as fearfull and loving. I tell you all this because I’ve always been timid, an introvert i guess so i couldn’t see myself as a leader, but bitcoin taught me i can make my own future it was just all a bad game before bitcoin and in this new world i want to be a leader! I want to be a value creator! I want to live my life with purpose and following my passions and since I’ve discovered Bitcoin my passion is Bitcoin i want to contribute to the adoption of this in any way i can! Whatever it takes!

Weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an anonymous Bitcoin user sounded the alarm and called out 986 addresses they claim belong to Russian security agencies. How did they do it? OP_RETURNs. This blockchain vigilante burned over $300,000 worth of Bitcoin across over 1,000 transactions to embed their accusations in the OP_RETURN field. https://preview.redd.it/rq1ps6uuvgwa1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=17ba2ce1c86c6accf0482bf83e883d82284cbf64 Under ordinary circumstances, it would be difficult to detect cryptocurrency addresses used by hostile actors unless you were actively looking for them. But starting on February 12, 2022 — weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine — and ending on March 14, 2022, an anonymous Bitcoin user sounded the alarm and called out nearly 1,000 addresses they claim belong to Russian security agencies. How did they do it? OP_RETURNs. OP_RETURN is a field used to mark Bitcoin transactions as invalid, but can al...

Hello fellow Bitcoiners. Over the next several quarters, perhaps even a year or two, the ongoing liquidity crisis engineered by the Federal Reserve will heavily surpress the fiat-denominated price of Bitcoin. This price suppression will be further excacerbated by the usual consolidation phase we see in the shadow of a new ATH. This activity, in light of the central banks' efforts to develop and implement their own heavily controlled digital currencies, could very well make this coming consolidation phase the most significant opportunity to accumulate bitcoin that we have seen in many years, and may not see again in our lifetimes. Personally I will be accumulating as much as reasonably possible while minimizing living expenses. Obviously this does not constitute investment advice, and you are responsible for your own actions in the coming months. Best of luck and remember, don't panic. gta3uzi, 2023-04-21 Submitted April 22, 2023 at 12:38AM by gta3uzi https://ift.tt/9q...

For the people who believe in bitcoin (which this subreddit must have a good portion of those who have "bought in"), what would/could change your mind? What would make you stop Hodling, DCAing, caring about bitcoin? For most in this sub, I would guess nothing. There is a base of support for bitcoin that will never go away. Some might call this fanaticism but show me a technology that hasn't had an early adopter fanatic base of users. A monetary asset not controlled by a central authority - there will always be demand for an asset such as this and the drivers of this demand are growing daily. A monetary asset without counterparty risk - demand will only increase for this. A monetary asset with a known monetary policy - demand will only grow, supply will not change. My point is that there is only one way to go from here. The cart is out of the barn. The cat is out of the bag. The level of Bitcoin adoption (at this point) only has one way to go: up. Believers aren...

Some will state that Bitcoin has not provided any value since its creation. These people are generally Fiat Keynesian brainwashed westerners that have never set foot in an underdeveloped country that's been ravaged by corruption and hyperinflation. I say to them: There is more to the world than the west. Individuals in underdeveloped countries use it as a store of value AND as a medium of exchange. There are over 1.7 billion unbanked people in this world and Bitcoin is a bank account for every single one of them. 1) It allows them to receive remittances from abroad instantly and at a fraction of the cost charged in TradFi. 2) It allows them to store value and protects them from hyperinflation and currency debasement. 3) It allows them to protect their hard earned savings from confiscation. In these type of countries political corruption and oppression are rampant and confiscation happens more than you think. 4) It allows them to trade digitally and globally over the interne...

So, I bought a coin with a dog on it in early 2021. It was cool to learn about "crypto" but that lead me to reading books and listening to Bitcoin Audible podcasts. World = changed after that. I ditched every "security" with an issuer and everything that was pre-mined. Spoiler alert; that's everything but the commodity BTC. Buying BTC starting in early 2021 was ROUGH. I was easily 70% underwater at one point... but I kept buying almost every day all the way down the shitter. I've also gotten millions of free sats for paying off my mortgage (until recently) and CCs (continually) using the Fold Card. I went from Robinhood, transferred to Voyager, got my BTC out of there just in time and finally onto the chain with a Bitbox02. Over the last year and change since then I've been using Strike to buy almost every day and transferring that and my Fold earnings over to cold storage, consistently. When FTX crashed and people freaked, I starting scooping sats wi...

CBDC = Social Credit Score

I am not a thought leader, and I am not trying to be. In fact, these thoughts may have been presented previously. However, I have been mulling over this concept for the past several days and wanted to share them for critique and additional feedback. I have come to the conclusion in my own thoughts that a CBDC will inevitably become nothing more that a work around for a social credit score. Let me explain my position. Digital money is programmable. The controlling party can set the parameters and function to include whatever desired data be needed. There will be only one source that controls all that data. Take into consideration the following scenario: A family goes into a store with a limited budget, trying to stretch it as far as they can to feed their 3 children. They purchase some good quality products as well as some questionable nourishment. Dad picks up some alcoholic beverages and mom loves herself some dessert. Who cares, right?

Had to transfer money to someone and my HOA account today. Two different banks. Sat down with my coffee and tried to wire them money. Bank $70 in fees for wires. Both branches are less than 10 minutes from house, so f that. Go to branch 1. Long line. Can't withdraw the $700 I need for 1 transaction from the ATM. But I can if I use a "virtual assistant" from the same machine. So I withdraw my $700 and ask her to do a bank check for me. She can't, but tells me the tellers can. Problem is the line is still long and the bank across the street I need to deposit at closes at noon today. So I go over there and deposit the money. Come back to bank 1 and wait in line. Find out they can't do bank checks at this branch and I'll have to to another bank in another town to get a bank check. TLDR: Banks are stupid. Bitcoin would have saved me $70 and/or 2 hours of time. And I wouldn't have to write this and you wouldn't have to read it. Submitted April 01, 2...

Question to the regular American about operation chokepoint: how much are you measurably constrained buying your bitcoin?
- Get link
- X
- Other Apps
I just saw a an item on Kitco news about operation chokepoint and I was wondering how much are (you) Americans really constrained buying your bitcoin? Many US banks limit the amount of money you can transfer to an exchange, but if that's like $ 2k or $ 5k a month, that's still ok for the average American (I assume). Or if your bank totally forbids it, how quickly can you find another, more crypto-friendly bank and be back to your dca-schedule without missing a beat? Has anyone actually been totally unable to buy bitcoin? *If my English is a bit clumsy, it's not my first language. Edit: Apparently the fud about this got to me a bit, but I'm happy that almost nobody has problems buying bitcoin. Submitted April 01, 2023 at 02:21AM by SportEveryDay https://ift.tt/0kKeaNH
