Can you point is to a source? Also I'm really not 100% sure what you mean here, but like requiring DOGE to be able to use Twitter? If so, I heavily doubt it. Requiring any crypto or even just money in general to be able to use Twitter would be a company suicide.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this isn't possible even using the Quant Zone. My guess is that your only choice is to be using bots of some sort. Afaik most decent traders just use Python scripts for such purposes.

You're probably overthinking this hence why you seem confused. Just think of it like you're selling a rare baseball card or a rare sneaker — If it goes up in market value, you don't magically receive dollars on your bank account or your pocket wallet, right? You only earn profit once you've already sold it at a certain price that's higher than the price you bought the item.

I could almost guarantee that he indeed doesn't care but that they're just forced to talk about it because the "journalists" from CNBC needed an anti-Bitcoin news headline. I'm looking at you, Becky Quick.

Or maybe we should simply stop trying to get his approval. He's an investing GOAT — but let's not forget that his (and Berkshire Hathaway's) strategy is that he invest by the books; he's not the 'visionary' type of tech investor as venture capitalists.

They have their own official thread. You're far likely to get actual help if you post your question there. Based on the responses it sure seems like you're not the only one having problems though.

Sounds good, but this isn't going to go through without a fight. It's already getting a good amount of pushback from these buffoons.

Erm, this is the dude that wanted to shut down the Diablo Canyon — the last nuclear plant in California. Calling him a "visionary" is giving far him too much credit. And add to the fact that apparently California has turned into a shitshow? Nope.

I wouldn't say Bitcoin is a religion on it's own just because Bitcoiners have their own beliefs. If anything, it's the total opposite of a religion — Bitcoiners want their money to be leaderless and without a supreme entity that controls/oversees it.

It's was pretty much inevitable though, unfortunately. But yea, I think it's a sacrifice to take for institutional adoption. The best (realistic) timeline imo would be:

1. Chainalysis traces the crap out of our funds
2. Institutions adopt bitcoin
3. Some genius developers develop and create very easy to use (and affordable) privacy tools for retail
4. Governments would want a pushback due to the increased privacy but fails to do so because of bitcoin being well-adopted already

I really don't follow local stuff religiously because I'm far more invested in crypto and US stock markets, but as far as I know while it's a mixture of both, it's mostly probably due to government intervention.

Currently in the Philippines; probably a ballpark of 20-30% increase in 5 years? It's been a while since I've roamed the "ghetto" ish areas so I really can't make a good comparison. While food and other needs are up, what I've noticed is that rent went up far higher for some reason. Wages are higher too which is good, but working provincial doesn't really cover the daily needs if you have a family.

Looks great for the publicity and the potential news headlines, but yea, let's not act like the winners very likely wouldn't immediately dump the bitcoin if they weren't bullish on it in the first place lol.

I also like how they're forcing to think of parallels between bitcoin/crypto and golf:

“Golfers think differently, they’ve got a different way of looking at risk and reward - each and every shot they play they have to take calculated risks. It’s the same in crypto. It’s still new and for people to start using it in their everyday lives will require a mind shift change and that doesn’t happen overnight.”

Risk and reward, calculating risks, and all that. Like as if it doesn't apply to any other sport.

We might not be there yet, but we're slowly but surely coming to the point where politicians outlawing or even just publicly hating on bitcoin/crypto is political suicide. Apparently San Francisco/Silicon Valley is becoming a total craphole now, so Newsom is probably just trying to save face.

I get your point that it's up to you if you give the permission and yadda yadda, but really? Let's not underestimate the authorities here. There's a non-zero chance that this could end in a $5 wrench attack-like situation, but far worse because it's actually the authorities who's trying to access your funds, not some urban crackhead.

What mocacinno said. Probably just don't send the funds to the CEX immediately after the coinjoin/mix, as to hopefully prevent them from getting suspicious. Probably do a few hops between a few wallet addresses in the span of days or weeks depending on how huge the amount is.

You're saying this as if churches and religion in general has a very clean reputation among people worldwide, whereas we all know it really doesn't. Connecting Bitcoin to religion is just going to create a divide among religious people and atheists.

Bitcoin, just like things like gold — are neutral; and it should stay that way.

I'm guessing something similar to what some Proof of Stake projects say to attract attention to their project; they say Bitcoin and Proof of Work is a waste of energy and all that. Fortunately most if not all defamation attempts are a failure.

Cryptocurrency projects do it all the time, I mean how else will they get publicity?

As for Bitcoin, who's going to spend the money? There isn't such thing as a Bitcoin CEO/CMO. But fortunately Bitcoin exchanges and services in general do the marketing for us.

I'm definitely not going to say lifetime because who knows what some crazy person can invent in the far future, but I'm going to safely assume that BTC will last multiple lifetimes.

More likely that Bitcoin will run parallel to the current financial system than replace it. As for physical notes, isn't physical notes being slowly but surely phased out worldwide already? And as far as I know some countries are already fully cashless.
