That’s a bit in the line of Bukele’s thought, to some extent: (translated from Spanish) 1.1 million Salvadorians already use @chivowallet (and we haven’t yet made it available to 65% of phone models).
It seems that we’ll be able to bank more people in one month, that nationalizations and privatizations of the traditional bank managed in 40 years.
https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1439062924534943753The second phrase denotes the speed of things in relation to traditional banking in the country. It also denotes the lack of a proper term to reference providing access to its citizens to BTC/USD through Chivo. He used the term "bancarizar" (to bank). How about Chivo Civilization – small joke here.. That’s one of the important arguments in favour of bitcoin often used, and here we may well see how banks are given a skip by many that initiate their transition to modern era digital money. |

He estado intentando ver el origen de los fondos con los cuales se financió la construcción de la estatua. Bajo el punto de vista conceptual, uno querría que todo entorno al proceso de financiación y gasto girase entorno a bitcoin, si bien no es del todo así: - Los escultores quisieron el pago en fiat (según se indica en el link de mi post de ayer al respecto). - En el link de abajo, se indica que la financiación fue en bitcoin y Binance Coin. La segunda criptomoneda la añadieron debido a que las fees de las TXs en BTC eran elevadas (según indican …). https://beincrypto.com/satoshi-nakamoto-statue-of-planet-earth-says-creator-andras-gyorfi/ |

Statista’s data is roughly the same as World Bank’s data for 2019’s Internet penetration, but it seems that it has since picked traction at a fast pace, and by beginning of 2021, it reached 50,5% of the population (+14,7% in a year). I figure the build-up to the Bitcoin Law may increase these figures sharply – we’ll see: https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2021-el-salvadorGoing over the full stats, it’s interesting to see that, for El Salvador: 30,4% has an account with a bank institution. 5,7% has a credit card. 3,5% has a mobile money account. Besides the degree of internet penetration, managing some kind of e-money is not that wide spread. Both will likely rise now substantially, albeit there being a delay between the population’s current foundations, and how widespread the Bitcoin Law intends to be. There’s logically a learning curve both to use the technology, and shielding from scams, that is going to take a while to overcome, and we’ll hear all sorts of stories on user experience in this sense. It’s a bold/wild bet that we need to see how it eventually plays through. |

Eso es. Tiene un contador que hace que la funcionalidad completa tenga sus puntos importantes a contemplar: Si bien el 2FA que proporciona la app de Ledger se considera más segura que otras alternativas como Google Autheticator, y técnicamente se supone que evita la posibilidad de un ataque phishing tipo "man in the middle" (entras tus claves y código 2FA en un site falso, y éste accede al site válido), similar a la YubiKey, presenta importantes consideraciones de gestión: - El contador se resetea si reinstalas la app en el dispositivo Ledger. - El contador se resetea si actualizas el firmware dispositivo Ledger. Esto hace que, hechos comunes y recomendables en un Ledger, te creen un problema con el FIDO 2FA del dispositivo, y por ende, allá donde lo requieras para conectarte. De hecho, el siguiente artículo sugiere tener doble acceso 2FA a todos los sites donde te conectes (de ser algo soportado), y usar el acceso secundario si sucede alguno de los acontecimientos que resetea el contador. Vamos, que no es lo más cómodo, y si no lo gestionas bien, tendrás problemas en tus cuentas de Exchanges y demás ...

Ledger tiene la posibilidad de ejercer de elemento 2FA mediante la instalación de una aplicación FIDO 2FA. No lo he probado, dado que requeriría tener el dispositivo más a mano de lo que quería en general, además de ocupar un espacio que, salvo que tengas la versión X del Ledger, es ya de por sí muy limitado y requiere un juego de trileros. Una de las observaciones sobre su funcionamiento a tener en cuenta es que, si tienes varios dispositivos con el mismo nemónico, únicamente uno de ellos debería manejar el 2FA.

European, but not EU (can’t count UK there after the Brexit) … It seems that current operations deployes in UK are buy/hold/sell on their custodial wallet, but not pay through crypto (checkout with crypto) as yet; a bit like the deployment performed in the USA. I figure they’ll activate it later along the line (even though it’s really a virtual conversion from crypto balance to the merchant’s fiat account). I gather Paypal is probably looking into many more countries to deploy the same scheme, and likely only local legislation is making them pace their roll-outs after careful study, taking it on a case by case basis. UK lately seemed to have some beef with crypto, so striking a mark on deploying their custodial solution there seems like a good thing (for them at least). |

Paypal ya ha culminado (ayer) el roll-out para añadir la compra/venta de bitcoin (también ETH, LTC, BCH) a través de su plataforma para sus clientes, con el mismo esquema que el utilizado en su implantación inicial en EEUU. Su página web, que aún anuncia el acontecimiento futurible, cuando la prensa dice que ya está en marcha, refleja que se puede comprar desde 1 pound en bitcoin. Viendo lo anterior, me surge la duda acerca de si hay un mínimo exento de declaración en los impuestos en UK por operaciones de ganancia de capitales. Pongo el caso de una persona que compre 10 pounds en bitcoin, y lo venda por 12 más adelante. El monto es casi un épsilon matemático (algo pequeño y despreciable), pero podría obligar al comprador a complicar su declaración de renta. Me viene a la mente , con otro contexto a las famosas acciones de la cuenta 1-2-3 que la gente rechazaba para no complicar su renta.

Ese chiste es de los que más he utilizado, sino el que más … Una cosa que no comprendo bien, es si los literales que ahora te salen en inglés, salían correctamente en español en la versión precedente, y si además eran los mismos literales en inglés como base. Viendo el pantallazo, se indica que el recurso es el 22.x. Me pregunto si son todos literales nuevos (no lo parecen), o si no se podrían obtener (copiar) desde la versión precedente, suponiendo que se puedan consultar los literales de la versión precedente en la herramienta desde otra sesión. Vamos, un copiar pegar en toda regla (y legítimo). Por otro lado, si fuese factible lo anterior, uno se preguntaría por qué no estaban ya de por sí traducidos por defecto con base a la versión precedente (*)(dudo que se empiece de cero cada versión). ¿O son literales que no se han traducido nunca? (*) E incluso desde alguna versión vigente LATAM, aunque veo que el Español base es el que más literales tiene traducido respecto de las demás entradas para Español en la lista: https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/ |

Por ahora, mono-marca. Estas opciones de integración directa con bitcoin core, permitiendo saltarte Ledger live, aportan mayor privacidad, aunque sea únicamente para la gestión de bitcoin. El que tenga un Ledger para facilitar la custodia y uso de sus Alts, seguirá teniendo que bien confiar en Ledger Live, bien usar alternativas. No obstante, el grado de conocimiento técnico requerido aumenta notablemente en términos generales, y, a ojo cubero, no creo que más de 1% de los tenedores de Ledger sean capaces de reemplazar Ledger Live por bitcoin core, y menos aún de manera sostenida en operativa a lo largo del tiempo. |

<…> DdmrDdmr talks about it being similar, I think if he had seen plagiarism he would have reported it.
I can’t recall if I did, and the historical report window only displays the most recent 30 day window. The fact that the thread was deleted denotes that is was likely reported by someone, and that the moderator took action to delete it (which often happens when a plagiarized post is deleted). Nevertheless, there may have been a tinkle of doubt on the moderator’s behalf, who therefore likely decided to act no further, giving the benefit of the doubt at the time. Interesting sidenote exercise: Anyone who has fully read the thread so far, try to see if they can now enumerate the 10 steps mentioned on a given post within this thread, in the same order, and bearing a similar concept on each step. I got 4 out of 10 matching order and concept (others items I listed were rather distant on both accounts), having read it twice beforehand. What a memory of mine … Thought: I’ve often thought that there could be a number of fault points per account, whereby each rule infringement reduced the amount depending on the broken rule, leading to scaled bans when the balance was under a certain threshold. Not going to happen I figure, but I’d ponder such a module (with some added complexities I can think of). Edit:
<…>
I don’t want to derail the topic too much here, but your list, whilst bearing logical steps, is not that close a match to the lists I mentioned before, which bear an exact match between them in order and concept per item on the list, with somewhat different wording. |

<…> the government should provide safety guarantees for merchants who accept bitcoin and other crypto asset transactions.
Chivo wallet is, by default, set to automatically convert from BTC to USD with no loss whatsoever (providing Chivo works properly) (*). There is therefore no risk incurred other than Chivo being the custodial of their USD (or BTC if they want to, or even part of the balance in each).

Bit2Me ha adaptado su publicidad a la nueva normativa, y acaba de lanzar una campaña de carterlería en más de 300 puntos de Madrid, con reclamos varios, y con el colofón de una pancarta gigante en la Plaza del Sol: Los reclamos son múltiples, algunos ingeniosos del tipo: - "Bitcoin: bienvenido a la república independiente de tu pasta" (IKEA copy/spin/paste) - "Vives en el año 12 después de Cripto" (buena) - "A todos los carteristas de Madrid, lo sentimos" (no sé si lo pillarán) - "Amancio somos todos" (se entiende en potencia, con bitcoin+hodl) - "Tokio, te invitamos a la casa del bitcoin" (npi) La frase a pie de cartelera veo que reza: "Bit2Me no realiza recomendaciones sobre inversión. El Banco Central no considera las criptomonedas un medio de pago ni ofrece su respaldo.

You could hire a Campaign Manager to run the Campaign, but the Ann thread should really be run by someone who knows the project well enough to provide thorough and prompt answers and information. Seriousness is perceived from both the content of the project, and the team providing support and resolving question. Bear in mind that the rank running the Ann thread or Campaign may be something some people look at at first glance, but regardless, a rank with no consolidated reputation (I don’t mean the forum’s commerce related reputation here) isn’t all that much more than a lower rank (just an aged account that looks a bit flashier). |

<…> The government of El salvador can organize an enlightenment program to sensitive it's people on what bitcoin is all about it's pros and crons and why it should be embraced this might help reduce further damages
They are already doing it, through the Chivo Wallet information booths across the country (clearly not enough though: some 50 or so), through webminars ( https://www.economia.gob.sv/eventos/lista/), the official website ( https://www.chivowallet.com/), other official social media ( https://twitter.com/chivowallet?lang=en, https://twitter.com/nayibbukele) and so forth. Regardless, and despite a lot of the hassle being made by the opposition (who grab BTC as a line to try to diminish the government with), from what I’ve gathered so far, and being an outsider, I’m of the impression that they rushed things quite a bit, and deliberatively or not, omitted planning and deploying a proper large scale information campaign well before the Chivo ecosystem kick-off. |

One thing to bear in mind is what type of crypto we are talking about: There is an apparent trend of central government made crypto that seem to be in the pipeline. These are likely to reach a broad extent of the population in the countries and areas of commerce where they are going to be deployed, but, nevertheless, they are going to be centralized and the TXs likely scrutinized under some type of law, deriving background profiling based on the TX movements. Is that what people really want? (Possibly, until the know better) Bitcoin largely plays against the above, and therefore will likely be tried to be kept in the bottle by the powers at hand, in favour of the controlled and controllable crypto variants. |

Actually, the ad is displayed under the first post of every single page within a thread, so a single thread that drives interest and views is going to print way more ads than having many threads that lack interest (and therefore lack views). Take the Wall Observer thread for example: a single thread with currently 29.509 pages and 590.164 posts is going to beat the hell out of 29.509 created threads with no interest. Creating thread per se does not help. Creating or posting in interesting threads, that drive views is. |
