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.

The sanction against using the dollar is more theoretical, the actual way it works is that they can't issue more debt in dollars nor can they ask for financing through most financial systems. But nobody is stopping them to pay from their bank's accounts to some bank in China 1 billion dollars, that's why I told you on the other topic, sanctions don't work by chopping somebody's hand off so he can't play tennis anymore, it's more like nobody wants to play tennis with him at all.
Plus Russian companies' debt and governmental debt can't be sanctions since it's actually not theirs anymore, for example, if the IRS would seize all your goods and funds and bank accounts, they won't cancel your mortgage, that would still be up and running.

As for the second part, I don't know how old you are, but my father when he was a child had nothing else to listen than to all that communist propaganda about the fall of the dollar and look now, 60 years have passed, and the dollar is going strong but people still say it will ...what?
Russians are desperate for getting dollars and you think this will hurt it? Lol.

The intention of Satoshi was good. And he was consistent in pursuing it. He simply was a person who have sort of foreseen everything. He seemed to have known everything that would make his invention successful. All things were considered. He made it perfectly. But more than that he made sacrifices for its success.

But to the surprise of everybody who saw and believed Satoshi's vision and invention, shitcoins which were all Bitcoin was not, also sold well to the people. Satoshi must have asked himself, where did I go wrong? Lol.

I can't tell if you are trolling, are sarcastic or serious. The tone is not being conveyed in text form.

I believe that if you had carefully read the brief article you link to, you would have had a clear idea and you would not ask that question.

As I understand it, the money never left Coinbase. Coinbase identified that transaction as suspicious, blocked it, and alerted the FBI, who would then confirm that it was fraud. The article doesn't say it exactly like that, but that's how I understand it.

Best alternative wallet I see is Mercury wallet that is working on totally different principle of swaping private keys in secure way, in that way fees are much lower and privacy can be much higher.

I don't think regulators will be able to do anything with Mercury wallet, but there is always good old mixers we all know, or using Lightning Network is viable alternative.

Instead of creating bunch of shitcoin projects, developers should focus more on making better privacy for bitcoin, but hey you can't scam people like that and become rich overnight...

No, money held by the central reserve and their own banks in their OWN accounts and not overseas accounts as collateral is not touched by these sanctions and the Russian government needs dollars because it has debts to pay, one was just the other day, it has to pay the debt of the companies that are owned by the state, the sum is of around 150 billion, that's why they had reserves in foreign nations, to back up this debt as collateral, not because Russia managed miraculously to set aside 30% of their GDP in savings in 3 years.
If they can't service the debt there will be a default, and if their own companies can't do that either there will be bankruptcies, and assets are going to be seized.
It's the USSR all over again, what other choice do they have than getting dollars? Do you think China will accept rubles for their stuff?  

Elon and Saylor are two of the smartest people with big investments in bitcoin so far. They go in and invest at the right time where they have managed to get a commensurate return on that huge investment. I know they come on behalf of the institution, but they are more forward-thinking than us (most of the crypto community).

We are aware that bitcoin has a lot of future potential, but finances have been a factor why many of us don't invest in the long term. But I strongly disagreed when one of the two investors (Elon Musk) said that bitcoin is bad for nature especially with mining. Regardless of whether Elon sells or not, but he can't be trusted 100% because of his strange behavior. We are not supposed to trust influencers 100%, they also have a purpose in this investment.

Pretty simple!

In Russia, everyone tries to get dollars including the government which banned dollars purchases, driving a black market which in some reported cases goes to 300 rubles for a dollar, the government is desperate for foreign currency and the lack of it does what you see happening.
In Ukraine, the country is flooded with billions in aid, poeple received a ton of donations which have to be converted in local currency, doing the exact opposite as it happens in Russia, driving the offset between demand and offer down, just the proposed help to date is about 1/3 of the monetary mass in the country.

I learned about this word today too. It stands for 'Joy Of Missing Out".

You were thinking of buying a coin and later that coin dumps to oblivion. That's JOMO!

The default Wasabi Wallet coordinator will start censoring "illegal" UTXOs

Maybe he thinks that holding a lot of Bitcoin forever will save him and help him become more famous. A whales like Elon Musk can really play the market without worrying to lose their money, perhaps, they can afford it. However, whatever he does with his Bitcoin, people are not interested to know it, actually, we don't care. But believe me or not, Elon Musk is a wise person, he could trick us. he can pretend that he is holding till now, in fact, we don't know the truth.
