I don't think Monalisa or davinci paintings could be related to money laundry

I think contemporary art is more related to money laundry, as someone can just put a $30 chair upside down and it will be worth $3,000,000.

And Monalisa and davinci paintings are really worth a lot, because those paintings have a great influence over our culture. They are also scarse, as davinci can't paint anymore.

The original cable has a usd output. So you cannot connect it to smartphones or tablets that doesn't have a usd input.

Coinbase offers a wallet service, which is not a wallet at all.

They lend you some addresses on their wallet and hold your funds for you. This is like a custody service.

It's not technically a wallet, because you don't hold your private keys

This makes no sense. What is the difference between a legal and an illegal cryptocurrency mining?

Unless you are stealing energy, this makes no sense to call illegal.

You cannot mine alts? Lol

What is happening in Venezuela and Turkey are temporary(hopefully) and desperate situations.
Trading chicken for silver is also probably illegal there ...

I don't believe metals will be used as a currency again, like in middle age.  Unless there is some sort of apocalyptic future (nuclear war, zombie attack, socialism).
Even without being used as a currency, gold/silver are a safe haven against crisis and can be an amazing investment.

If I were to buy metals (I hope I can buy some in future) I would probably buy an ETF, which can be easily traded at anytime. I believe there is no way back to silver/chicken pairs. Internet changed things forever.

With ETF I cannot get scammed, no one can steal it from me..
There are many downsides that we all know (centralization, coercion, government may take it away form me etc)... But those risks are somewhat lower than negotiating directly the physical coins. How do you know your coins are 98% silver and not 91%? Where will you store 10k usd silver? I am not a specialist and I could get scammed easily

If you are buying metal as a hedge against a total collapse, physical metal like your coins are way better.
If someone from Turkey had some Turkish silver ETF (if that even exists) they are probably fucked up, but I doubt countries like US or UK will have this kind of problems.

In Venezuela every financial asset became worthless because government use fake conversations rates against usd (like 1000x higher than in the dark market, which is now the real market).

What do you think? Why didn't you bought silver ETF?

Well, think for a moment if you don't realize.

Someone creates a thread"what's is going on with eth"
That's just a stupid topic , by somehow it attracted 15 pages. With 20 posts per page, there are  over 300 answers to that question.

At page 14 you wrote something. I didn't waste my time to read it, because you didn't read the previous 280 replies.
You just threw away some comment, with no context, knowing that nobody would read it, just to get one more post.


Do you realize now why is that considered shitpost?

I didn't look at many of your posts, just answering your question and I can see you got some merits so you can make good posts too. Take this answer as an incentive

Nothing is risk free. However mobile wallets are save enough for you to keep Small amounts, such as the same value of your mobile device.

No. When you create your account using a mobile wallet you will have to save your mnemonic phrase, which will give you access to your privatekeys. Privatekey will help you recover your funds anytime you want in all kinds of wallet.


I believe Coinomi is the best mobile wallet for iOS.
It supports segwit and it is multicurrency.



Coinbase is not a wallet, it is an exchange. You are spreading misinformation and talking about things you know little about.

I strongly agree with this.

I have a friend in Venezuela in a similar situation.

He said that local authorities scan for high energy consumers.
Some corrupted authorities ask for money, because they know who I mining.

The best is to stay low and small in such unstable political areas.

Coinbase, Kraken, etc are not Wallets, they are exchanges

As you are a total newbie, I suggest that you get some mobile wallet such as Coinomi. (Download it on Google play or Apple store)
It's very intuitive, free and anonymous.

You can also try some web wallet, such as blockchain.info
I believe mobile wallet is more secure. However both are unsafe.

For security, considering buying a hardware wallet such as trezor or ledger nano.

All wallets suggested here are 100% anonymous.

But you are the one who is responsible for staying anonymous.
A good practice is to avoid using the same receiving address more than once.

I believe a good project may have good results in this bear Market.

However, even good projects may have bad performances now. It's safer to stay away for a few months.

This Windows comparison is interesting.

However I didn't get your idea about vitalik and the bankers.
 vitalik Buterin really acts in a weird way sometimes, but in my opinion tokenization model is revolutionary and it was a great blow to the financial system.

Now companies does not need to be funded through the stock market, they can be easily funded without any burocratic issue through ethereum ICOs.

You must be full member to unlock the avatar image.
For that you need 100 activity and 100 merit.

As you already have 120 activity, only 99 merits to go

This is right, and this is also a good a solution.
I think that's specially important in campaigns and bounties, because sometimes spammers just decide to spam in a certain topic for no reason, applying with multiple alts in a campaign.

A taxa fixa é sempre a taxa do próximo bloco (pelo q entendi).
É o preço de incluir sua transaçao no bloco.

Se ele estiver cheio, sua transação pode ou não ser incluída nesse próximo bloco, a depender do mempool. Mas deve ficar para o seguinte, o que são poucos minutos no ethereum...

Trying to move away from politics and bitcoin subjects, I tried a different book.
I just finished reading the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.
It´s a best seller. I really avoid reading those kind of best seller books, because they are usually not so good, and hardly worth my time...

However, this one is related to my profession and everyone is reading it in Brazil. So I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed it a lot.
The book is very interesting in the beginning.

He talks about the beginning of the mankind. About 100 thousand years ago at least 6 Homo species coexisted, including the Homo sapiens. In his words, freely translated from Portuguese:
Later on, he talks about studies that traced 4-6% of our DNA came from other Homo species, such as Homo Neandertal and Homo habilis, suggesting we somehow mixed with them.

I found that fascinating. Almost a sci-fi world with different humanoids lol

 Later on, he talks about how our ancestors lived before the agriculture. This book changed the way I imagined the Stone Age.

It´s sad to see that on the second half of the book he starts a globalism propaganda. He talks about how empires made people´s life better, and that a global empire would be the solutions for wars and social problems. He mentions ONU and the EU…
I looked for that book trying to stay away from those boring subjects that comes to us every day and every time, just to find them again hidden in an ancient history book. Probably this is what this book a best seller.

How is the reception to that book in your countries? This book is like a fever in Brazil now, everyone is reading it. I believe that our bizarre country is probably 5 years late in that fever, or maybe that book didn’t even called much attention in Europe or US…

I doubt they would plan a 51%, because the price would drop and they would lose their investment. Those pools are interested in bitcoin success.


Satoshi was a genius, because he knew when to disappear.
This is not satoshi's blockchain. Satoshi's existence would make bitcoin centralized on him.

As ethereum is centralized on vitalik Buterin. Vitalik's blockchain.

The solution to those design issues with btc will come from the community. There are some proposals and one day there will be a solution.

Sometime ago I read something about Changing proof of work in a way that asic hardware would become less effective. I believe there are many interesting proposals out there and soon community will have a consensus about one.

Yeah, it's becoming too centralized on him

Ethereum is  Vitalik's blockchain.

This is why Satoshi is a genius. He knew he had to stay anonymous, to keep bitcoin decentralized.
If Satoshi identity was known everything he says, every tweet he shared would be attached to bitcoin.

And he is only a human. We are imperfect. Bitcoin is better without Satoshi deciding things in a centralized way.
Bitcoin is bigger than Satoshi.


And what will happen to ethereum if vitalik becomes sick? Or if he get married and have a child and stay more time with his kid? Or if google hires him?

I think that you will not be able to choose fees freely as you do now. You can pay the fee for the block, or wait for another block with lower fees...

Let's see how it goes, still a proposal. I didn't like it very much either.

Your explanation is somehow confusing and you didn't mentioned the most important.

There are really no coins, but Unspent Transactions Outputs (UTXO)

Every transaction output has a balance, that can be 1 satoshi or 1 million btc. The value does not matter.

Every utxo has its own identification, which is its transaction history.
It's not a serial number, but a timestamp.

If you receive 0.005 btc every week for 3 weeks on the same address, you will have 3 utxo.

It does not matter if you receive them in he se addresses or not.

You can later consolidate those ouput by doing one transaction with all of them to another address.
