For Russia and China, Bitcoin is only a toy they can use and throw away. If Russia will indeed sell gas for Bitcoin to whatever sanctioned countries, we may get back to "bitcoin is illegal money" and businesses/individuals getting restricted in using it.

I do understand your point, this kind of use would show how powerful Bitcoin actually is. But if then Bitcoin will no longer be accepted in the western world... it will be pretty bad, and not only for the price.

For "underground" use there are the privacy coins. But I would not be happy with Bitcoin used again only by (some of) us. I want to see Bitcoin accepted literally everywhere, by every merchant/business. The more legit the better.

One of the reason for high trust on bitcoin is that the bitcoin owner Satoshi identity is hidden.

If all of sudden Satoshi come in the public and his identity is revealed, do you think it will have a bad impact on the bitcoin price and it can dump?  Or do you think that bitcoin price will pump on this revelation? Mind you that i am talking about the real satoshi, not the fake ones claiming themselves to be satoshi.

This news is cheered by those who care only about the price (which has indeed started going up), but I fear it will give even more ammo to Bitcoin's opponents.

And BTW, the whole news as I've read it, tells that they consider asking Bitcoin from the friendly countries and rubles or gold from the others.
However, changing the means of payment currency is not allowed by most of the existing long term contracts, so this looks to me like pushing the countries take the (not so easy) decision of finding better providers than Russia.

Sure I’ll take note of these. I still have at least a month to prepare myself, gathering all of the information to be put to my slides. I already have my old slides from last year and can still use them, but I may have to update some of them though with the inclusion of NFTs, metaverse, etc. But the main focus is Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general for their real use cases and fundamentals as well as giving them advice in risk management.

But someone can not just become expert in one day, if you are discouraging people not to trade, then no one will be an expert.


New traders do lose, then best to advice them to use a very small amount which they can willingly offer to lose, starting to trade with $50 is not bad while trading with $10 in each trade

Tradimg can start anytime, it depends on the approach used.

This is exactly what happened with the Nigerians government, they did the same thing by placing ban on crypto just to reveal the launch of their E-Naira CBDC, i think you're right, government are contending with cryptocurrency but they lack the understanding that CBDC is totally different from cryptocurrency.

Speaking of CBDC, I did posted earlier about the Philippines doing a pilot implementation run on it here.

I just don’t know if CBDC’s poses a threat to the adoption of cryptocurrencies as mode of payment or so. Every country has their own point of view regarding Bitcoin. As you said about Thailand not allowing crypto as mode of payment but allowing as investment, maybe they need to study more deeply about it as they don’t want to be left behind in the trend like the anti-Bitcoin countries right now.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie and I would love to receive from you all of your tips and suggestions about doing day trading.
I want to understand strategies, websites, people to follow for doing shot term investments.

• Could you explain to me a good strategy?

maybe from p2p trading platforms. but if they are dealing with large amount of fiat, they will be subjecting themselves to possible screw-up. most centralised exchanges require kyc if you are transacting with large amount of money. so unless, the exchange is not putting any restrictions from russian nationals, they can use the exchange. however, with the ongoing war situation, their assets are also in jeopardy once the government will be very strict to the exchange itself. though they can always ask someone they know, not russian in origin to do the conversion for them. a lot of people has connection somewhere in the world that they can ask favour from.

What would make him sell his Bitcoin? This is someone that has a lot of money to spare and if he invest in Bitcoin he doesn’t care whether the price is going up on or down. So, he’s definitely going to keep his investment rather than selling it, because that is definitely going to worth more than it is today in the next few years to come.

And even in the next few years to come if he shouldn’t see the need for him to sell it because he has a lot of money, then he’s still going to continue holding his bitcoins as part of the assets that he owns rather than just selling it. I also don’t have any plans to sell all my bitcoins, although I did sell part of it to take profit when the price was high.

Today I become to first Elected official in the world to have his entire salary paid in #Bitcoincash, as our country moves more and more to making use of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Thanks  @rogerkver for the guidance in making St Maarten the Crypto Capital of the Caribbean!

You are a troll or a moron.

Sounds harsh but it is essentially true.


I have developed:

 a  45 kwatt solar array
 a 115 kwatt solar array
 a 280 kwatt solar array

Mining BTC (and shit coins) are a huge incentive to develop solar arrays.

Rather than blaming mining for power usage. Simply encourage miners that use solar arrays.

Problem solved on so many levels it is a joke.

I would say really nasty shit to any one that is against properly developed mining via solar arrays.

This is not a debate it is simply trolls and shills for fiat and anti coins.

My disgust at main stream media is truly bigly larger than both of Trumps hand and feet combined.

I really will leave you with this.





this is a coal strip mine.  Basically a subsidy to coal companies as they are not required to fix it.

Simply make them build a solar array and use it to mine.

All pow problems go by by so long farewell

BTW sorry for insulting you , but I get so fucking pissed off whenever I hear or read what you wrote by you or anyone that is anti pow.

But if Satoshi wanted to create a better money, a currency which is resistant to the abuses of those few people who are controlling fiat, I must say the intention was good. We have a generally bad fiat currency so if somebody wants to correct that and tries to create a much better alternative, the intention must be considered good. To innovate in order to provide freedom for the people is to mean good. Is there even a neutral intention?

I do agree with the Prince. It is one of the solutions to inflation, and we need to act on it now. It may not be as big of an impact as you may expect, but that's how it will move forward. People need to understand how important that is to the economy. Having more BTC than fiat currencies; it's just to save its value, and continuing to do so would be suitable for financial stability.

It's good to see that Serbia has enacted a Digital Assets Act (DAA). Maybe other countries will follow suit as well.

No, no one would say that except for just a few people who benefited from the hype they generated earlier.
I still believe that these two will sell their bitcoins any time they want even when they really have endorsed bitcoin as a good investment for everyone to consider. They are known to do so as a long term store of value and adopt it as a means of payment in their companies, but it is clear they are targeting bitcoin profit.

Thinking one has fully understood other individual's reasoning is imho at least naive, if not plain dumb.
Thinking one knows for sure how much bitcoins other individual has is imho at least naive, if not plain dumb.

From my knowledge one important point in Satoshi's leaving was his own physical security/integrity.
If he's alive and well, I surely hope that he did buy or mine plenty of bitcoins around 2010 so he has a good life.
Since we don't know who is he, we don't know if he has known crypto business and lives between us or he's enjoying life somewhere far from all this.


And any wild guess about what he has done after leaving.. is just a guess. We will probably never know the truth.
