Sollte in ferner Zukunft [...] (Stichwort Bargeldabschaffung), dann stellt der Bitcoin eine unerwünschte Konkurrenz da. Es könnte durchaus sein, dass es dann eine grossangelegt internationale Kampagne gegen den Bitcoin gibt [...]
Der Bitcoin FIAT Gateway würde durch die Kriminalisierung so erschwert werden, dass der Bitcoin Kurs in den Keller fällt.
Dieses häufig geäußerte dumpfe Gefühl einer Bedrohung von Bitcoin durch ein "weltweites Verbot" bzw. ein "weltweites Sperren von Fiat-Zugängen" halte ich, ehrlich gesagt, von Anfang an für kompletten Unfug.

Denken wir's mal anders herum: was fällt euch so ein, das überhaupt "weltweit verboten" ist?

Waffen? Nö.
Drogen? Nö.
Prostitution? Nö.
Vergewaltigung? Nö.
Mord? Nö.
Kinderarbeit? Jein.
Sklaverei? Jein.
Terrorismus? Ja/Nein (kommt immer drauf an, aus wessen Sicht man Terrorist ist).

Mir fällt so auf Anhieb eigentlich nur eine Sache ein, bei der wir mittlerweile wohl ein weltweites, fast flächendeckend auch durchgesetztes Verbot haben: Kinderpornos (und selbst da ist es eher das allgemeine Pornographieverbot in manchen Ländern, das zur Flächendeckung führt).

Bitcoin wird "weltweit verboten"? Dass ich nicht lache. Roll Eyes

Dass sich andererseits bestimmte, heute schon eng kooperierende Zahlungsräume wie die USA, Europa, Japan und ein paar assoziierte Länder, eines Tages für ein Verbot des Fiat-Umtauschs entscheiden, ist zwar grundsätzlich "technisch" denkbar, allerdings stellt für diese Zahlungsräume der Bitcoin wohl die geringste Gefahr dar.
Bevor sich der Deutsche Michel für eine "Flucht in den Bitcoin" entscheidet, braucht es, gewissermaßen empirisch belegt, noch ein bisschen mehr als zwei Weltkriege, eine Hyperinflation und eine Reihe von Wirtschafts- und Ölkrisen Wink

Der Zugang wäre durch ein Verbot bzw. ein sperren der Fiatkanäle auf jedem Fall mühsamer und Deutschland wäre vermutlich eh wieder vorneweg dabei.
Wenn man für die Bitcoinchen dann nach Holland (oder hier vlt. Luxemburg oder die Schweiz) in den "Coffeshop" fahren müsste wird's halt nicht einfacher....

Und inwiefern wäre das ein Unterschied zu dem, was in den letzten 10 Jahren so passiert is?

Der Unterschied wäre immens, falls es Banken (wie in Kolumbien) verboten wird Gelder zu verarbeiten die in Bezug zu Bitcoinhandel stehen. Ob ein außschließlicher Peer to Peer Handel Auswirkungen auf den Preis hätte lässt sich zwar nicht beweisen, ist aber anzunehmen.

Ich denke, dass die Auswirkungen bei einem Verbot nicht so drastisch wären. Könnte mir auch vorstellen, dass besonders dann Bitcoins gekauft werden - als Absicherung gegen eine staatliche Kontrolle.

Schiss habe ich eher davor, dass es einen unentdeckten Bug gibt, der in Zukunft zu einem riesigen Chaos führt.

Das würde wahrscheinlich das Ende der Währung bedeuten.

Warum gibt es off shore Konten? Weil das FIAT System das zulässt.
Mit was werden Kriege finanziert? Mit FIAT.
Mit was wird Kriminalität finanziert? Mit FIAT.

Regulierung hin oder her, es gibt mit FIAT immer ein Schlupfloch, hat es immer gegeben und wird es auch immer geben. Als ob ein Staat oder 30 Staaten meinen, sie müssten das verbieten, wird es immer Möglichkeiten geben die Regulierung zu umgehen, da andere Staaten und deren Regulierung einen anderen Standpunkt vertreten und abgesehen davon, sind zu viele Investoren und Banken mittlerweile involviert, als dass das verheerende Auswirkungen auf BTC & Co. hätte  Wink Cheesy

Sep 2019   159,225   9,798,992   1.62%

Second time in the last 9 months number of Monero transactions declined. In February decline was almost zero if we count 3 days less in a month. This drop happened at start of June. I heard someone saying it could be because of the end of covid-19 lockdown in Europe. We will see if number of transactions will increase again because of possible future lockdowns.  In general the growth in last 9 months is huge. Over 100%, while Bitcoin is about where it was.

To link COVID19 lockdown here in Europe to Monero transaction volume sounds a bit wild, don't you think? COVID19 seems to be the fault for everything now days ....

Here is a homeless man in a wheelchair.  

He was not participating in the demonstration.  He was just there.

However the LAPD have decided to shoot him in the face with a rubber bullet at close range.

This is not a nice thing to do.  This is not what normal police officers do.  As one police chief explains:

Quote
According to the Trace, the Minneapolis Police Department’s use-of-force policy strongly advises against pointing 40 mm launchers — which are used to deploy rubber bullets, beanbag rounds, and sponge rounds — above a person’s lower extremities. The policy also acknowledges that the projectiles can cause “grievous” injuries, and in some cases, death. Rubber bullets should be used only to control “an extremely dangerous crowd,” Brian Higgins, a former police chief, told Kaiser Health News.






Bonus picture. A 15 girl is sitting on the ground blinded by pepper spray.  So a cop casually walks up to her and kicks her in the face.  



https://twitter.com/jeffshafer/status/1268684973604814857?s=21

Some of you may consider the cop to be a hero for kicking a seated girl in the face. I don’t.  


The Police in the US is the opposite of serving and to protecting the ordinary people, but it is not a wonder or coincidence, that the US is always using force to protect their interests. Despite that, i do not really see a correlation and causality for the guy in the wheelchair or the girl on the ground to be blindly involved and hit by force, but that seems to be a educational problem in the US in general. The only ones that should be protected are those victims, aka ordinary people, from the police in the US  Angry

Do you consider a currency a scam just because they have created fake profiles and because it has been premined and has a large supply? YES
then KIN the chat currency is a scam, it will have many users with double accounts and it has a gigantic supply. after 8 years standing in this market, fighting for years against the infamous.

I am going to post something quite unpopular.  It will make some people mad at me.  This is not certain, but I would say it is a 50/50 probability right now.  I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I am worry that I am not.  

The US has dun goofed its coronavirus response.  The US locked down too slow, and now it is reopening up too fast.  With the exception of New York, case rates are still rising in every state.  Nebraska, which reopened on Monday, reported a 57% case rate rise in the past 7 days.  In saying this I acknowledge that testing levels are so low it is hard to work out what is really happening except we know there are superclusters at the meatworks which are not closing because they have been deemed essential.  

How is this an unpopular post? You are posting the government narrative that is being pushed right now. They even have pictures.




But what will likely happen in the US is people are sick of the lockdowns, they see that the US dun goofed after seeing the results in Sweden obtaining herd immunity.

So...lift the sanctions, sorry about the thousands of deaths due to unemployment and job loss...time to do like Sweden and just get over it once and for all instead of this screwing around with peoples' lives for a few people in nursing homes that are on their death beds.

The curve will not be as high as in Sweden due to a small percentage of the population already having it already.

Will a lot of people in the socialist New York health care system die...oh yes...many many people in New York. So many New Yorkers will feel the first hand results of government intervention into their health. That really sucks. A microcosm of communism as a demonstration of what not to do. Perhaps useful as an example for the rest of the country of what not to do to your health care.

Now that is the unpopular opinion.

And you honestly believe in a Vaccine  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
