High exposure to trade wars is making investors afraid, not only in the US. They are completely in doubt and/or in panic for some. Did you notice how central banks and co. are trying to save funds through safe havens? It is not something new, it has been several months, but recently it has started to become more and more precise.

I don't want to mean the Apocalypse is around but a recession is becoming more and more possible. Look the interest rate cuts worldwide, Treasuries' performance so bad, ect


Some countries can and have their own law. The US tried before

The FCA is weird, it basically says that 'some forms of crypto-assets may fall under its regulatory remit'. But bitcoin and ETH don't. So what kind of crypto assets fall under its remit? Stablecoins? Let me laugh
Look like a privacy coin was a bad apple in the basket. Watch out for the card program to the UK, you never know

Salut @blackbrick

C'est un peu dur à trouver de nos jours, mais il y a encore des endroits. Bisq tu peux vendre en F2F, j'ai vu une offre cette semaine donc c'est possible. Il y a aussi Paxful. Le probleme c'est que les gens ne sont pas intéressé à faire du face à face, donc même si tu as l'endroit tu vas galérer à trouver quelqun

Sinon, si tu offre un taux intéressant, genre -10%, et suivant la quantité je peut me deplacer, on se donne RDV dans un bureau et je viens avec de l'argent bien frais et pas froissé ainsi que la machine pour que tu puisse controler les billets. Tu peux venir accompagné bien sur.


Genre au quartier derriere les poubelles en pleine nuit

J'étais interessé par le concept à l'époque de BTCJam, une fois que je m'y étais inscrit j'ai vite changé d'avis.  Il n'y avait vraimment rien de convanquant à vouloir prêter de l'argent. Je ne me rappel plus trop comment c'etait foutu, mais j'avais plûtot l'impression de marcher dans une rue avec des roumains qui font la manche, bref. En plus il n'y avait pas de collateral si je me rappel.

J'ai vu Nexo.io il y pas longtemps, tu prêtes des fiats et les intérets peuvent être basés soit en fiats ou soit en stablecoins. Les fonds sont assurés à une certaine hauteur. Mais ca ne m'a pas plus frappé que ca.

Sinon comme alternatives il y a aussi: BlockFi et Celsius.network

Avec un collatéral, faut quand même faire attention à leur pratique, si le coin utilisé comme collatéral perd de la valeur, comment ca se passe. Est ce que les intérets sont payés en cryptos ou en fiats, ect

Du coté emprunteur, le risque est de voir que du jour au lendemain, le taux d'intéret est passé de 5% à 25% par exemple.

You use Paypal: Paypal is involved in criminal activities
You use a bank: Banks are involved in criminal activities

So you do support criminals, don't defend them either

Most coins will be tainted soon or later if someone uses a mixer it doesn't mean he is a criminal, as well.
You guys got brainwashed too much and sometimes you have weird reasoning with double standarts

You can't be serious

https://bitwants.com/
http://www.dashbargain.com
https://bitcoinsuperstore.us/

I didn't try any of them, just bookmarked long ago because I wanted to create something similar.
Dashbargain should have a topic discussion here if I remember.

If you plan to get a BTC card as suggested, keep in mind some stores don't accept these cards.

Tu as dû oublié de télécharger et d'installer les 'Broker's dependencies'
https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/installing_gekko.html#Installing-Gekko-39-s-dependencies

Et peut etre même Git.
Tout les cas que j'ai vu avec le même probleme que toi ne l'avaient pas installé

Beside Wirex Bitwala is currently the only option to get a dedicated IBAN. You get a Bitcoin wallet and a Mastercard linked to your bank account
You can send and receive SEPA transfers, pay recurring payments like your bills, and get a Mastercard linked to your bank account. Your EUR funds on your account are protected by the German Law by the way

Most of you are saying it's bad for ChipMixer but I would say the opposite. It's a good opportunity to prove how robust is the mixing process. In the end, it will make ChipMixer's reputation stronger and attract more people who are used to use BTC tumblers.
Such articles are helpful


Big penalties? Have you ever see a mixer webmaster going in a justice court? What the hell are you talking about with Coinjoin

It doesn't change my opinion, negatively or positively, Coinbase isn't the first and not the last. At least no bitcoins were drained out. The method used is tricky but it happens a lot to different companies

Just a clarification: some university portals provide email .edu addresses accessible to everyone and not only to students. It has become rarer with all abuses but certainly still possible. It shouldn't be difficult to find one for 5 bucks

Well as I was saying, I don't think it's going to suddenly make them interested to participate in discussions. They're going to force themselves to write something, and from that moment on if someone feels forced to write something he shouldn't post at all.
(That's why I said they'd just add their shitposts)

This member is another example I was thinking about. When I checked 2 random articles, one was a piece of news 2 years old and the second a copy of an article from Cointelegraph.

There is also ambiguity (or rather confusion) sometimes.

For example, we could read news about coinbase (because of this and that with Bitcoin)
But if Coinbase buys a chips potatoes factory, people think the board is a good place to post

@DooMAD
Smart idea. A bot auto-posting news would be great (if the sources are considered reliable)


Initially, it could be merged with the Bitcoin Discussion board with no problem, but Jesus Christ this board is ill. :/

What about making the museum a journey/route which visitors shall follow and each piece teaches them something new.

For example, the visitor enters the room 1 and discover the history of money,
in the second room, he discovers how the banking system is,
the third he discovers the limits,
the 4th he discovers alternatives,
5th Bitcoin and its ideology, 6th etc...

I would write the most important events on Bitcoin and use it as the base to build the journey. I took rooms as an example but it could be wall 1,2,3,4, or a big roadmap/timeline (why not make an interactive one)

I would keep it simple for the mass and avoid anything too technical to target more people. Which support and format are you going to use?.

They will keep using centralized services. The mass doesn't care about its privacy, and the majority thinks KYC is a good thing for the ecosystem. They're very happy to give personal information, as long they see their money in their bank (or get what they wanted).


People consider cryptos as investments, so governments follow the logic and treat it as it is. It was expected. I know in some years people will regret advocating regulations

And where is bitblender today? Gone
It was a broken mixer, someone who knows how to was able to deanonymize any transaction

Ca m'a toujours étonné de voir Kraken durer aussi longtemps avant de se mettre vraiment aux normes. J'ai vérifié mon compte malgré tout parce qu'on peut dire ceci ou cela, Kraken a toujours tourné comme une horloge avec les virements bancaire. Pour moi, la vérification a été rapide. A part que j'avais scanné ma carte d'identité mais ils voulaient une photo, alors il a fallu que je prenne une photo de ma carte.

Apres faut etre honnete, il fallait bien s'y attendre un jour ou l'autre. Et faut etre honnete aussi sur un autre point: les gens s'en foutent du moment que l'argent arrive sur leur compte bancaire...
C'est pas grave, l'écosysteme s'adaptera, pour ceux qu'ils le veulent vraiment, il y a des alternatives.

- 1: You can, published researches can be found on this matter. We have even seen a consortium created for precisely this reason of transparency (and other reasons, of course). There is also the case of platforms that agree to be audited.

- 2: They can kick you out for anything, no matter the amount, but there are also external points, your assets could also disappear with a hack, from their side as well your, fake CEO death, company shut down,...


Decentralized exchanges are still something primitive, and currently, it does not meet a distinct demand. The low volume generated and the lack of features don't make DEXs attractive either. That's why it's not something common/popular yet. Maybe in a few years, I hope it will be the case when people will realize how finally KYC bullshits are annoying.

Binance denies information data leak but why didn't they talk immediately about these discussions with the hacker?
Immediately ... in July, when it started...


It depends on the laws of each country. The states had until last year to notify the Commission. In mine, the fine is up to 300 000€. Peanuts for a medium or large company

The problem is that there are 4 levels of sanctions and in general when it is the 1st or 2nd, companies do not have much.
In addition, what may be difficult is to prove that the company has failed to meet its obligations. A company can very well get hacked even if it does everything it can to protect its data.

C'est des données qui avaient été volé l'année dernière et dont les gens étaient au courant, donc en fait rien de vraiment nouveau.
A mon avis la personne a attendu quelque mois et a voulu faire du recyclage avec les photos et faire croire que s'était un hack récent, pour extorqué les 300BTC
Y'a une histoire un peu louche entre les deux. Binance était en contact avec la personne depuis 1 mois deja. Les deux actuellement on une version differente

Bizarre que Binance n'ai pas parler de ca

They already resolved the problem a few hours later https://twitter.com/LocalBitcoins/status/1159049606531047424 The service is working normally only a few users are still waiting for their incoming TXs. (Perhaps the time the fix takes place)


I believe you need more coffee the morning

I think actually we can say thanks to Trump. If he can't MAGA at least he can MBGA.  

- Talking negatively about Bitcoin: bad advertising is still free advertising, it creates people interest.
- The USA vs China and Chinese looking to save their wealth by looking for an alternative since the yuan has fallen
- The white house freezing Venezuela government assets in the US and the LBC trading volume increased in the country

and voilà! 30% easily
The gold chart is also ringing the bells by the way


As for saying Bitcoin can save investors, I'm not sure if we can say it because the risk is still here
