It means you are now the banker sucking the pennies out of dirt poor farmers pockets.
If that was the goal all along then yes you are winning.
Well, snark aside, I'm just saying, providing this liquidity after channel open and close costs is not free. Nevermind loop fees for rebalancing. Kinda trying not to unzip my pants here, and beat you across the face. Ya dig? Slippery slope, sometimes we need to remember the big picture. ... tell us how you really feel? ... what do you think of bitcoin miners charging transaction fees? ... banksters sucking pennies out of dirt poor people is mostly abhorrent because it is within a monopolised system that offers no competition or alternatives |

Google partners with Bitcoin and crypto marketplace Bakkt.Today Bakkt, a Bitcoin and crypto marketplace and custodian, announced a partnership with Google to extend the “reach and usability of digital assets to meet rapidly evolving consumer demand.”
Bakkt users will now be able to add their virtual Visa Debit cards into Google Pay to purchase goods and services in-store and online, wherever Google Pay is accepted. Bitcoin payments will be converted into fiat to make these purchases. ... this seems big ... I wouldn't trust Google not to datarape it's google pay users but if you don't mind trading privacy for convenience, which many don't apparently, then this has potential to drastically expand btc usage |

Ted Cruz is making sense around Bitcoin mining, he's batting 100 in my book so far on btc https://twitter.com/nic__carter/status/1447264180260818954 ... utilise stranded gas resources that would be wasted, flared ... act as "excess reserves" to harden and strengthen grid resilience ... unlock stranded renewables on the frontier (for other data center ops or eventual connection to grid - my addition) |

Yeah... Why Bob? I think very highly of Andreas and his work on educating the masses about Bitcoin.
He's got too much "paid salesperson" / Ron Popeil type vibe going on now. Used Bitcoin to prop himself up, with the help of the community, and now he's like a JJG kinda guy who loves sniffing his own farts, and thinks he's too good for anyone who dares disagree with him. Has blocked a whole bunch of luminaries who dared call him out. Painted himself into a corner and did himself no favors. Viewed as a pariah. Absolute narcissist case gone pathologically wrong. Started off altruistic, but once he got fame/retard-income-stream for a bit there - briefly - went to his head, and turned into an absolute Garbageman. I belong to the Twitter Toxic Bitcorn Maxi Clan, so, that's where this observation is coming from. ... just to relate my experiences with Andreas, when he first came into Bitcoin he was a quick study, I DMed on here quite a bit with him, he wanted to pick my brains quite a bit actually but I liked his enthusiasm and he said he read all my early posts and liked what I was saying/doing, many of the phrases and concepts he talks about I can just about point to the posts of mine where I first wrote them down ... but there were a few of us were having similar revelations together so I don't want to claim priority in any definitive way ... then he offered to make me co-author on the Mastering Bitcoin O'Reilly book that he was working on which I thought was interesting ... but not interesting enough to work on it, for opsec and other reasons ... after a couple of years went by I met him at a Bitcoin conference where he was by now a minor celebrity, I causally introduced myself expecting a pleasant conversation at least and he treated me like something he found on his shoe ... he may have a messiah complex or some other ego disorder, it's hard to tell, but something is not quite right in Andreasville |

A little humor: https://futurism.com/creator-dogecoin-cryptocurrencies-horribleI don't know if this has already been posted here but it caught my eye and made me laugh. ...I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity...
...The cryptocurrency industry leverages a network of shady business connections, bought influencers and pay-for-play media outlets to perpetuate a cult-like ‘get rich quick’ funnel designed to extract new money from the financially desperate and naive...
...Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today’s capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person...
...This is the type of dangerous ‘free for all’ capitalism cryptocurrency was unfortunately architected to facilitate since its inception... Gotta love that "dangerous free-for-all capitalism".  .... bitcoin harnesses basic human instincts like greed and self-preservation to incentivise actions that secure and efficiently allocate finite resources ... call it whatever ism you like ... when the radical statist left and hedge-fund managers are equally hating on it, you know it's got to be on target ... |

 “ Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin slams crypto as a 'jihadist call' against the dollar — and says regulation will oust those looking to make a quick buck” These guys... Billionaires in the current system. Particularly the ones who play games with ledgers to make their wealth. They either got there by luck, or by smarts. I think it is impossible for it to be luck. Because wolves smarter than them would take any lucky money they make. ... I think rat cunning is a better description than smarts or knowledge .... and it's rat instinct to rat poison that they have a visceral reaction to sound money that threatens their rat race |
