Well, it's nice to be officially "wealthy" again at these BTC/USD prices. Freaking surreal.
Too bad the Paypal news is so lame. Not being able to move crypto between accounts, or into your own custody is going to red-pill quite a few folk about "not your keys, not your coins"
Gentlemen.
Yeah... but the thing is... People will get exposed. And some people will figure out that other wallets let you have more control etc. As much as @jack makes me want to march around with my AR strapped to my chest, he is going to drive things in the right direction for BTC. At least it seems so. |

Any word when feather will integrate with Trezor/Ledger?
Does Feather support Ledger/Trezor?
No, and we have no plans to support hardware wallets in the future. An implementation would complicate the codebase significantly, and as a small team we doubt maintaining it.
If you have a Ledger or Trezor device and would like to use it, grab the official Monero GUI or CLI. That is fine with me. I don't intend to use feather for storage. Nor do they seem to be marketing it that way. |

It's gonna be tough for a lot of idealistic Bitcoiners to accept the fact that some of bitcoin's "layer 2" is gonna be built by people who do not share the cypherpunk ethos.
Thing is... that's really part of the ethos isn't it? I mean, who is not allowed in the pool?
This is why I have always sort of resisted the whole "fuck the banks" aspect... Central banks? Yes. But people like Paypal, Visa, Western Union, Wells Fargo? They are gonna play or get slaughtered. They will end up in.. as we are seeing happen. Bitcoin has to be strong enough to handle it.

Merited both for the quality of the point and for "Paypal announces wrapping its lips around King Bitcoins long blockchain". lol. |
|

sorry your paypal account has been frozen because one of your satoshis once might have bought a reefer off some bloke. meanwhile, we will be rehypothocating the fuck out of that shit. thanks dear luser
Oh just pee all over it why doncha? But yeah.. we got a lot of stuff in the future... the ways things are going it's getting hard to anticipate the bumps and twists... so fun. |

The whole sucking up to central banks part is kinda yukky... but bring it. This is the boss fight we have been waiting for... Not sure when it happens but they are setting the stage.
Money that is limited, trust minimized, HARD as diamonds.
VS
Money being siphoned from the wallets of the rich and airdropped on the poor.
Damn I am gonna have a hard time working today.

That essentially also mean Ebay will accept BTC.

People: Yay, that will teach Google to not be such bad meanies. Also people: Why did the government drop the anti trust lawsuit on Google so quickly? Also people: Why does my computer suddenly slow down a lot when I go onto any web page with Google ads? Toobin: I never noticed that light next to my camera before. FTFY |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Up solidly over $11.9k... currently $11975USD/$15766CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Ready for yet another stab at $12k. One of these days it's going to stick. Then next stop: AYH. Go Bitcoin go. Jeff Bridges diagnosed with lymphoma  Ouch. The dude is such a role model to all of us other boomers. Still, he is 70 years old. Not everyone lives to be 100. Hopefully the actor is as open to CBD therapy as his on-screen character would seem to be. He played the stoner a liiiiitle too well to just be making it up... but he IS a gifted actor. |

Thanks for the merit!. And yeah. That is really the only big thing this wallet is missing. As to node issues I have not had them yet... hmm. Hopefully the ones posted in here are helpful. |

Craving for 14 k today

You're looking pretty genius-y so far... Looks like the whole alt sector is doing a pullback wile big daddy rallies. We are breaking the bullrun trendline. Probably see a bounce somewhere down there... I will point out this volume is somewhat anemic though.  |

I know it's been mentioned in this thread, but I just want to say... The Feather wallet is a really nice "Electrum style" wallet. https://featherwallet.org/-Non proprietary... creates portable wallet files that can be opened in the CLI or Official GUI. -Very cool XMR.to integration even with built in TOR (for whatever reason :whistling:) -Great Electrum inspired (almost stolen!  ) UI. -Big executable but otherwise portable and lightweight. -Uses new 14 word seed with embedded block height as default. Neeto. But can use 13/25 as well. Extremely well done. Works beautifully. I made a real world payment for some silly thing off the net today. I would have used XMR.to if it were legal in my jurisdiction! :more whistling: |

Looks like 10k € is coming very soon.
Unless we Bart.
Indeed that’s a fact.
Always it’s coming soon-ish.
Unless we do Bart.OK one Baaaad BTC Haiku, and one almost as bad poker one for the Dude. You have to imagine playing at a table full of fish... a good thing... but then this happens: Barting not allowed! Bitmex was destroyed last week! How can we still bart?!??! Flopped the top end! Shove! Call, Call, Fold, Call, Call, fold, Call. Beaten by a flush |

Well done 600watt! I would suggest you create a thread outside the WO. You could help a few more bitcoiners with this list. Either way, I'm quoting this as a future reference. And then a question: given the huge amount of sources, what would you personally suggest to start with? Thank you very much my favorite is Guy Swann since he is reading a lot of interesting and mainly essential bitcoin writings and sometimes interviews the authors later. https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy* *it is now called bitcoinaudible.com but the anchor link above presents it better imho. indeed, Guy started his podcast in March 2018. that is just 2.5 years ago. most bitcoin podcasters seem to be married to Austrian economics. has anyone heard of a good btc podcast that tries to do this from a Keynesian point of view? I don't get why Keynes is hated so much by bitcoiners. I don't think he was wrong. government intervention in economic crisis is good imho. what governments worldwide did not do was the other thing that is part of keynes theory: in healthy economic periods governments should save capital in order to have dry powder for the next crisis. the governments just kept spending and printing more money. That's a pretty easy one... I should read ahead since it may have been answered better than I will. But I would say the reason why is Keynesian systems basically work on debt and constant monetary inflation in the hopes among other things to increase velocity. Case in point negative interest rates... a Keynesian end game measure that makes no sense until you understand they are useful to keep people from SAVING value. At least in the monetary system that is run that way. The encourage spending, and the creation of more debt which increases monetary velocity, and supposedly also creates better "wealth distribution". Bitcoin on the other hand is at it's very core kind of anti Keynesian. Absolutely hard with a known cap. It encourages people to store value and save. And would arguably decrease monetary velocity. Paul Krugman is a Keynesian. And he hates bitcoin because it goes against all of what he believes as the right monetary policies. I am not saying that there can't be Keynesian bitcoiners. Some people here are Keynsian whether they know it or not... But Bitcoin is definitely a polarizing force. If you are a leftist you will find a lot of what Keynesian systems prioritize meshing with your values... It is also why so many libertarians got into bitcoin early. |
