In my country inflation came under 10% only ~16 years ago and now 2-4% is normal. And these are the official numbers, I believe that the reality is a tad worse.


That's what I wanted to point out. Yes, the production and transportation got more expensive, especially since that ship was stuck for a while in the Suez channel.

Yeah, US citizens are no longer used with inflation. Well, things will change now.
On the other hand, I've heard somewhere that various materials for industries (including steel and construction materials too) have become more expensive worldwide lately (start of spring 2021).

They may or may not accept Bitcoin, depending how it suits them best in that very moment.
You may have better chance to buy it from El Salvador, and may also get their citizenship with this 

Now seriously, I surely hope that you'll be able to buy it in the way you want it and also Bitcoin will be much more expensive/valuable til then, so you'll spend less.
(With some luck you'll buy the cybertruck at the price I've bought my laptop some years ago).

He seems to have been saying that Tesla Will Start Accepting Bitcoin For Payments Again. Of course, the herd didn't read the rest which tells that nothing has changed.




I did a quick check and I didn't find the tweet though.

Some say that it was another tweet from our friend.
Some say it may be Taproot lock in over week-end.
I'd say that the artificial, FUD based downtrend had to end (sooner or later) and it's just about time for that.

It may worth mentioning that the hash rate seems to be recovering too.

Um, I fear that such a device's "encryption" will only create permutations (mix up) of the actual printable characters. And I am not convinced it will work properly with unexpectedly large character sets.
Also, if the hacker expects an user types mostly in a certain language, it won't be too difficult to find the key based on what characters come out most often.


I hope that my explanation is simpler 
And yeah, it won't work, not like that.

1. If you make a topic on Bitcoin, but you start with shilling DeFi you already lost credibility.
2. Although right now Bitcoin indeed looks better as an asset, it's undeniable that it can be used as a currency and that direction too has a future that should not be ignored. We certainly can and will continue to have both.

I find this normal. The bulk of transactions is related to trading bots. If everybody is waiting for something to happen (i.e. a recovery near the last ATH), the number of transactions cannot be too high.
And there's something else too: centralized exchanges and wallets learned to send in bulk. This means that you may get to maybe 5-10 times less transactions, but fatter ones.

Din cate stiu treaba asta e buna doar pe hartie. Adica trebuie sa HODLui, dar nu la tine in portofel, ci undeva centralizat, "la ei". Poate ca o firma o face asta, dar o persoana fizica probabil ca nu,


Asta va veni cu timpul, dar pentru asta probabil ca Isarescu trebuie sa dea binecuvantarea, iar dupa noile "angajari" facute in ograda lui, probabil ca asta se va intampla prin 25 25.


Nu intreb stiu ca, desi sunt firme private carora le pasa doar de profitul propriu, sunt - intr-un fel sau altul - interfata intre "munca" (valoare, crypto) si modurile oficiale de a utiliza/cheltui contravaloarea acelei "munci".


Oai cat de adevarat... 


Mda. Asa era. Doar ca nu stiu daca nu cumva miscarea El Salvador a schimbat ceva.


Americanii fac simplu pentru ca orice Ghita sa poata sa-si declare clar si simplu veniturile.
La noi, nu. La noi furatul caciulii e sport national. Iar ei prefera sa faca totul complicat, ca orice ai face si ai declara, tot sa poata sa vina, sa zica ca nu ai basca, si tot sa-ti dea amenda. Sau sa te convinga sa stai naibii angajat (si doar cu salar), ca nu se merita sa-ti bati capul cu ei.
Dar na, si la noi lucrurile evolueaza. Doar ca mult mai incet decat ne-am dori. Parca nici fazele cu "n-ai basca" nu mai sunt la fel de frecvente ca acum 10 ani...

It's just a call to make the state/govt look better in the eyes of the voters.
Clearly the pandemic increased the costs for the state. And they have to get the extra money from somewhere. And the common tax payers will feel better if others (the big bad companies) have to pay even more.

But don't worry. The big companies have all they need in order to hide their income in a way they don't have to pay taxes.
I've read that Amazon officially has less than ~6% income officially, since they "invest a lot". Interestingly it's known that most of such companies' income flies away to countries with low/no tax.

I guess that with some ingenuity, the clubs will also find their way to elude this.

Amateur traders are subject to FUD and make the growth be bigger and the fall deeper. But they are not trend setters and they don't have the power to create bubbles.
My guess would be that certain big players stay unidentified and got wrongly assimilated with the amateurs. But it's only a guess.

I also see it as a tough decision.

Continuing his career could be a rather foolish decision; but on another hand he will still have to do sports in order to stay healthy.
And he probably loves his job too 

But like with anything else, he has to decide for himself.
I'd add that probably he has contracts still running and may be difficult to just stop; so the real decision may happen only after those contracts end.

It was week-end and imho the movements from week-ends are not to be trusted.
It's interesting that it already goes up though, since lately Mondays were coming with price decreases more often than growths.


Yet, it's very close to that level.

I won't definitely say it'll go in this or that direction. I just don't know now what to expect on short term. One week ago I thought/hoped that we'll be past 45k by now. I guess that we just need a bit more patience.

It was a spectacular game, imho the best second half and Ukraine was an interesting surprise, in a good way. (So maybe not the best game, but certainly the best second half.)
The changes Netherlands made, when the two youngsters were introduced, was something very close to a costly mistake.

Well, they proved me wrong. Impressive. Makes things even more interesting.
2-1

omg
2-2

2-0 for The Netherlands
Ukraine looks worse than Turkey did...

North Macedonia coach made the same mistake as Turkey's coach: when the game was this balanced getting out defenders seems not to be a great idea.

The hash rate went down 178 EH/s (9 Jun) to under 110 EH/s (10 Jun) and it started fluctuating between 110 and 140 EH/s.
I guess that if they would have been supposed to be down, the hash rate wouldn't grow back this fast.
These fluctuations seem more consistent to hardware upgrades people were talking about on another thread.

I don't want to be harsh, especially after your nice words (thank you!), but you clearly have to learn more.
One problem on this forum (and this world, actually) is plagiarism. It's (obviously) against the rules.
To avoid this, please get used to point (clearly) the source of the words you quoting.


Binance CEO is communicating mostly on Twitter, so here's the full quote and also the link for it.
I hope it also absolves OP 

I first thought that they've intercepted communication. But afterwards I've read one post that made quite a lot of sense too:


And if this is the case, sorry, I don't feel sorry for them.

Actually, I don't feel sorry for them for multiple reasons:
* ransomware is extrotion and that's not OK
* they've used Bitcoin
* they were sloppy and made it easy for govt get the funds back, making Bitcoin look weak in the eyes of those not understanding it
