Bookmarked! Merited your OP and keep it up!
Yes, I would like to see some Lightning network data there as well too. Also follow the suggestions other have given about mobile wallets: I personally wouldn't suggest neither Cash App nor Samsung wallet!
For the mobile wallets... I want only the best wallets... but would you kindly review my recent question about Samsung Wallet and Cash App (scroll up a little)? I'm happy to remove them if that's what we want, but my reasons were around on-boarding. Your thoughts would be valued here!
Every best wallet we can suggest would always be the one we like the most: so if you ask many people here you will receive several different opinions.
If you want to base your judgement on trust and how the wallet is developed I suggest you visit  https://walletscrutiny.com/ in order to find a very good explanation on why some wallets are better (and more trusted).
So, avoid suggesting closed source wallets in the first place, and go for the ones which are open source and older: so I would say Green Bitcoin Wallet and Mycelium.
If I was you I would put wallets in a completely new page, but I guess that's not the point of your page  Smiley
1402  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-06-04] Bloomberg: “Bitcoin Toward $20,000 in 2020" on: October 29, 2020, 03:18:58 PM
again:



we’re already in November and we’re at $ 12900, so there’s less than 80 days to see $ 20,000, I’m still waiting and funny that when paypal said that it will allow people to buy bitcoin using paypal I keep seeing images of rockets going to the moon and news like this:

Novogratz calls PayPal’s Bitcoin news 'the shot heard around the world on Wall Street’

but why not wait for the first weeks after paypal executes this service to know the real effect it will have on the market? why run to make optimistic forecasts without any solid foundation? and to make matters worse it seems that John McAfee's prediction is already being a standard for some people, let's see:

Bitcoin price rise to $500k is inevitable, Winklevoss twins say

500k is inevitable?

I see this price as something extremely exaggerated, and I thought I wouldn't hear that price again


Let's just face it, Bloomberg is just guessing.  No one knows.  They want clicks and will publish articles to get them using just opinion.

The same type people who are doubting that it will hit $20000 were doubting that it would reach and then even maintain dollar parity. And then $10 and then $30 and then $100 and then $1000 etc. No one knows, but the last decade of experience should have taught people that bitcoin has great benefits and as more and more people realize it, the price will continue to rise.

Yep, everybody is making wild bitcoin price guessing at this point. From an editorial point of you you are most certainly right considering that now bitcoin is the most important trend in financial news. Other than that, I have no crystal ball but I am completely certain 20k will be destroyed soon. It's just a matter of time (an no, we will not become all bones while waiting).

1404  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal to allow cryptocurrency buying, selling and shopping on its network on: October 29, 2020, 02:42:55 PM
I'm wondering if Paypal's board finally realized they had to do something to keep Paypal and Venmo relevant in the face of Square and Cash App's impressive growth. Maybe this is less about earnings and more about......not being left behind.
Exactly, it mostly works that way: remember the blockchain technology hype? Most companies started investing without having an idea of what could have they done with blockchain technology. To avoid investing in bitcoin that early they had to invest in something that could have been presented to their investors without scaring them.
The world changed so much since 2015! Eventually they realized that they could have been left behind and now they flock into bitcoin. Hilarious.

But Micheal Saylor is a real Bitcoin Bull.... I would say he must be a WO regular!


https://twitter.com/michael_saylor/status/1321422012380753921?s=20

While reading this tweet just remember he also hodl the 90% voting rights in MSTRG. So he informed the other managers, but in the end he self-voted his decision.

This is an interesting additional piece of information that was not really publicly known, previously.


Well, this is why I craft my thread very attentively: to disclose information going below the very first superficial layer.

All was already written in this posts (actually it is 75%, not 90%, but nothing really change).

MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

I hope the guy has invested in his personal security too. I mean his OpSec is completely gone. I wouldn't sleep very well at night knowing the world knows I have 17k damn coins!
1406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin price rise affect your gameplay? on: October 29, 2020, 02:15:30 PM
I had to learn the hard way how to give importance to the numbers and digits I was betting upon. My brain was thinking in terms of USD and considering some huge bet I did in the past I could be considered a whale nowadays.
Now even betting 0.01 gives me a sort of discomfort.
1407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: Anyone use a wallet on a rooted phone with custom ROM? on: October 29, 2020, 02:12:39 PM
When I was under Cyanogenmod on my last rooted Android device I used Mycelium for almost two years without any sort of problems. I was always very cautious about what apps could I install or not, still I would not suggest to use a rooted phone to store btc anymore.
Like BitMaxz said you never know what kind of vulnerabilities may be open on your OS and since rooting gives administrative privileges to anything capable of exercising those rights it is better to avoid having bitcoin wallets on rooted phones.
1408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: October 29, 2020, 08:45:53 AM
Spot on fillippone: I was actually trying to understand such a move and now you probably gave the right explanation.
The bitcoin game is becoming too big and it started assuming all those financial dynamics that I believe the majority of cypherpunks would have probably rejected.
Let's never forget that for the financial world, right now, bitcoin is just another asset to be monetized.
Anyway, growing up is hard and I sincerely hope that the core will stay incorruptible.
1409  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Money laundering via BTC on: October 29, 2020, 08:38:20 AM
There is so much confusion in this thread: most of you have to do proper research before even thinking about bitcoin privacy tools otherwise you will surely get rekt along the way.

First of all, remember that Bitcoin privacy tools (coinjoin, payjoin, wasabi, whirlpool, mixers etc) may work well only into the bitcoin world: if we do real p2p btc txs or if we use the LN, for instance. The moment we link bitcoin/crypto to the fiat currency world (where AML definitely kicks in) all those checks are inevitable and you will start playing with fire. Unless you are experienced firemen, I would avoid doing anything that can do more harm than good.
Exchanges do real-time monitoring nowadays and every tx is flagged: they are using both AI/big data services and chain analysis tools to understand where your btc have originated in the past.
Be extremely careful.

1410  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-10-26]First Mover: Bitcoin Steady Over $13K as JPMorgan Has Eureka! Moment on: October 29, 2020, 08:26:59 AM
I can tell you this: when you have wealthy clients who knock on your door and ask:" Hey Jamie how about diversifying my portfolio with bitcoin?"
And the answer is " we do not have bitcoin products!"
those wealthy mfks will go and find themselves a way to invest in bitcoin. They are like rich kids: when they want a toy, they'll do everything to get it.
Let's not be naive here, bitcoin is becoming sexy, whether we like it or not and rich kids want to get some exposure to it.

I know this by experience as I have seen it directly.  Wink

Bitcoin is not an optional asset anymore!
1411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 29, 2020, 08:18:11 AM
Who else thinks VAR in Champions League is actually not so annoying? I mean yes you can see as what happened Morata's hattrick was cancelled (poor guy) but I don't think anyone would complain, unlike EPL where every week a manager has a complaint (even when it supported his team).

Now why can't English refs just be consistent like this?
With all the technology available in the world they should go as far as implementing some automatic goal, foul, offside checks. It is extremely annoying to have to wait for a VAR response especially when you have all those dubious events.
Regarding the game, Barcelona deserved to win: I bet on Juventus winning and lost, very disappointing game by the bianconeri.

Just consider Peter schiff which is a gold supporter and cryptocurrency rival whe he thinks that bitcoin would go to $0.
https://www.thewealthadvisor.com/article/gold-bug-peter-schiff-bitcoin-headed-zero

and then after a month later, he said that he was wrong about bitcoin.
https://queenscitizen.ca/2020/09/07/im-wrong-about-bitcoin-says-gold-bug-peter-schiff-art-business-news/

It would be much better if these gold bugs will consider out on such flip and that would be indeed huge.
It's not even that difficult for them to understand bitcoin: if they really don't get it they can always think of it as the digital equivalent of gold where bitcoin scarcity is enforced by the protocol. Many of them would have to rethink their opinion about btc and start introduce a small % in their portfolios.

Limbo definitely falls into the crashing/blasting games category. What stands out here is a maximum target payout of x1000000! I was wondering if anyone knows which was the highest payout won by a player on Wolf.Bet Limbo: does anybody know?

Former Goldman Sachs employee Raoul Pal predicts the possible migration of gold investors to Bitcoin (BTC) while MicroStrategy CEO reveals that he owns 17,332 BTC which he bought at a price of $9,882.

If a tiny amount of gold bugs will start investing in bitcoin the next bull run is going to be epic.
1416  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⭐ BTCGOSU ⭐ Your Trusted Guide to the Best Bitcoin Casinos ⭐ on: October 28, 2020, 04:47:37 PM
I don't believe efialtis can add every possible bitcoin casino on BTC GOSU. Especially for new ones, let them build some trust before having them listed on GOSU. You have to think that being on GOSU can now be seen as a kind of quality mark and therefore why letting every casino in so easily?
We saw many scams in the past and it's better to vet them instead of adding them right away. At least, that's the way I see it if I was in efialtis role.

Shame Ronaldo can’t play tonight, I was excited to see Messi vs CR7 once again. We will have to wait until the match in Camp Nou. It will still be an exciting watch tonight though, definitely my pick of the games.

Elsewhere Man Utd vs Leipzig could be good. Ole got off to a flyer winning in Paris. Can they continue where they left off & win 2 out of 2 to be on 6 points?
Ronaldo vs Messi showdown has to wait until December 8, when Barca will host Juventus at Camp Nou. It must be very frustrating for him, being such a competitive player, not being able to play against his worst rival, Leo Messi.
Morata and Dybala will likely lead Juventus attack. My guess for the game is Juventus winning it.
1418  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Coinbase sponsors two Bitcoin developers! on: October 28, 2020, 04:12:10 PM
@Wind_FURY Alright, now I am with you there. You could have been more specific  Grin
@pawanjain Before posting crap read carefully as I have never said that we don't need developers.

You don't need developers ?

You maybe right on this one: I personally do not need developers, Bitcoin does.  Cool

I think I got your point but I fail to see how that is connected with what I wanted to point out: actually do you know what? More than developers now we need people to fight into the real world where bitcoin battles every day. We do not need more devs, we need more nodes.
There are various bitcoin software that needs developeror could see improvement (e.g. improving Electrum UI/UX)
Electrum is a wallet. We have plenty of them out there. Better having devs focused on core development. Wink

Amen, brother!

It seems like there's a shared feeling in the room: even if we are miles away, don't even know each other, there's something to it that can't be said with words.

Go BTC go!

Even latecomers could have enjoyed starting a DCA strategy in March 2020 when everything came down due to the upcoming covid-19 crisis. Given the huge quantitative easing put in place investing in Bitcoin was a no-brainer. I did it and I am happy to have done it. Whit all the big boys that want to eat from the bitcoin cake even owning a small amount is a revolutionary act to protect your wealth.
