It's entirely possible to change Bitcoin from POW to POS. All you need is a law. The electrons in the algorithms rearrange themselves as soon as the bill is approved or the law is published - depending on the quantum level of electron compliance. The so-called "electron scare" factor. Scared electrons are reliable electrons and all that stuff. Actually, given the level of understanding they are showing, it could be worth a shot to try and explain them that Bitcoin is already proof of stake! Those who stake the most hash power get to pick the transactions in the next block. Right?  Very appropriate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Canute_and_the_tideThe story of King Canute and the tide is an apocryphal anecdote illustrating the piety or humility of King Canute the Great, recorded in the 12th century by Henry of Huntingdon.
In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God. The episode is frequently alluded to in contexts where the futility of "trying to stop the tide" of an inexorable event is pointed out |

I come from the city of Boyarka, not far from the capital city of Kyiv. Don't know who to turn to for help? my friends, my family, my relatives  have been bombarded by the russian army. i have some BTC can someone help sell it? I can't withdraw money in the current situation pleace While I can't help you in this instance (localbitcoin not an option?) what I would recommend you do is post a Air B&B ad as people are renting them for Ukrainians just to help you guys out. This is a good method as it also proves you are indeed a resident being fucked over by that piece of shit Putin. |

Hello guys. I don't know if it has already been mentioned, but I think it's interesting, for people who store paper/hard wallets in bank vaults : https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1502925809132003328Igor Sushko

Also - apparently the Russian government will begin, if they haven't started, raiding safety deposit boxes belonging to regular bank customers. Probably looking for USD and EUR cash You know I thought about this when The Fed seized a bunch of safety deposit boxes and have come to the conclusion that everyone should keep a massive stack of fake mnemonic phrases for the fed to comb through as a time sink in their boxes.  |

Sounds like FUD of the highest order to me. One crypto firm has received lots of queries in the past 10 days from Swiss brokers asking to liquidate billions of dollars of bitcoin because their clients are afraid Switzerland will freeze their assets, one executive said, adding that none of the requests had been for less than $2 billion. Why would you ever cash out of a unseizable asset to protect yourself from being seized. There is some fuckery going on. |

CIA and MI6 decided to join the sanctions. They will withdraw their assets in Russia.
 ... such good guys, they always do the right thing for solidarity to the cause .... they'll probably go the extra mile in virtue-signalling and withdraw their assets from Ukraine too! Does Putin give you boys a pat on the head while your sucking him off? |

Even McDonald’s will temporarily close all 850 restaurants in Russia.
Empty shelves and unemployment rate will go up after all those companies suspending their operations.
Well that should increase life expectancy at least.  |

So what is your point? We all know not your keys not your coins. I get what she wants. Why did you quote her? Are you against what she says? Are you for what she says? The reality is all exchanges could say f. u. to russian coins and russia could still move the coins. So what are you getting at? I was Disappointed to see that Hillary Clinton was still able to find anyone who gives a Fuck what she has to say. Why not just slink away into the darkness die in peace? (Well as much Peace as someone with her past can accomplish) When you quote or re-quote a jpg resize it. I don't want to see her face smeared all over this place.Bitcoin is now the only global payment system that won’t discriminate against anyone, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, politics, or actions.
This is going to become incredibly important in the coming decades.”

Which is why I believe that BTC is still going to be the best place for DeFI, if BTC supported smart contract from scratch damn maybe we won't have so many crappy projects today, I'm looking at you rbtc and SOVRYN. And the sock puppets... |

Utter lunacy it is, banning something you need. Politicians are the lowest of lowlife on earth. It will sink the property market...
GOOD! Its a speculative asset of the ultra rich and hedge funds and is artificially inflated to the point people cannot afford to live under a fucking roof! It also has the side effect of making EVERYONE pay higher taxes on the property they own. The only reason its legal is because it is putting money into the Gov coffers. |
