Quote That guy on Twitter is going to lose his bet (1 million USD) if BTC doesn't reach 1 million USD by June 17 2023. try again. Quote If he wins, the other guy should pay him 1 BTC. that part is true. some people don't understand the basics of how betting works. seems like you might be one of them... either that or the guy putting up the $1 million is a complete moron. It's you who's being obtuse here. I receive PMs from longtime members who warn me that you're franky2. Again: he's going to lose 1 million bucks if BTC doesn't reach 1 million by June 17 2023. Either he's overly risky or the US will indeed default on its debt by then (if the debt ceiling won't be raised)... chances are he might lose this bet. Try again.

Quote from: larry_vw_1955 on April 22, 2023, 03:29:50 AM Quote from: cryptosize on April 21, 2023, 08:29:36 AM You clearly didn't understand the bet. Enlighten us then. But why would I want to hand over 1BTC so that I could win 1BTC in real world value when the odds are stacked against me. The bet is not even odds. It's probably like 1000 to 1 odds against winning the bet maybe even worse odds. That's how people go broke, you know? You have serious reading comprehension issues. That guy on Twitter is going to lose his bet (1 million USD) if BTC doesn't reach 1 million USD by June 17 2023. If he wins, the other guy should pay him 1 BTC.

You buy 1 BTC. I will send $1M USD. This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k. The term is 90 days. All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation. If someone knows how to do this with a smart contract, we can do it on chain, so I can send USDC. If you won't do that, name a custodian. I'm not really sure the terms of this bet are what I had in mind. The way he's got the odds at 40 to 1, I'm not sure there's really any benefit for people trying to take him up on that offer. First of all, they're not going to win the bet as btc is not going to be worth $1M in 90 days. Not sure why anyone would waste 1BTC thinking that was going to happen. 2nd of all, in the extremely unlikely event that their longshot bet wins, they pickup about 40 BTC which in today's dollars is only worth 1BTC. So essentially the guy putting up the $1M USD is taking them for a ride. They're only getting 1:1 odds on their "against" bet. What a bunch of dummies. You clearly didn't understand the bet.

Λογικά θα γίνει μετά το 2024, με την εφαρμογή του MiCA. Πάνω στο επόμενο bull run δηλαδή, που σίγουρα θα τραβήξει τα βλέμματα όλων (με ATH στα 6 ψηφία).

Quote from: franky1 on April 11, 2023, 12:12:06 PM even coinbase, sister company to lightning-core does not want to use LN.. take that as a big hint.. Uhm, what? Have you been living under a rock or what? https://beincrypto.com/coinbase-will-integrate-bitcoin-lightning-network/ Quote from: franky1 on April 11, 2023, 12:12:06 PM again even coinbase as custodian of grayscale trust fund doesnt want to use bech addresses to secure large funds. heck even bech32 invetor for many years has not offered a donation address in his own creation. even the LN devs still are begging for donations on legacy. so not only avoiding bech32 but also avoiding LN uri.. So, now you also reject SegWit/Bech32? Along with Taproot, seed phrases, LN and god knows what else... Franky gonna franky. You don't want any kind of evolution (unless it's approved by Franky). Gotcha!

Quote from: lassdas on April 10, 2023, 05:26:31 PM Quote from: cryptosize on April 10, 2023, 04:52:01 PM Did you miss the "user-friendly" part? Are you saying we don't need BIP39?.. I don't really get why you think storing some random words is so much more user-friendly then storing a wallet.dat-file, or PKs. And I didn' say "we don't need BIP39", you might need it, even I might, I didn't say it's not useful. All I said was, that we didn't need it in 2009-2010 to store our keys, there were other ways. Even franky didn't say bitcoin did not evolve, he just said it worked from day1. You were the one questioning that. Internet (ARPANET) also worked from day 1 (back in 1969). Was it user-friendly? You don't really get why a domain name (DNS) is much easier (and thus makes internet usage more user-friendly) to remember than an IP address? Really? You didn't need BIP39 back in 2010, because a pizza cost 5000 BTC. Most people treated it like monopoly money. Hell, they didn't even care about securing wallet.dat files properly. You can even store your private key in raw binary format (256 bits of ones and zeroes). Does that make it user-friendly? TCP/IP and Bitcoin are very similar in terms of constant evolution and adopting a layered approach (something that shitcoiners/big blockers tend to hate for some strange reason). If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. BTC/LN naysayers remind me of this brilliant guy. Let's talk again in 2030. I'm sure franky1 will find yet another reason to complain by then, even if adoption skyrockets to 90% of the global population.

Quote from: franky1 on April 10, 2023, 03:14:05 PM and even today i prefer private key storage, not seed phrase. And why is that? Because franky1 is set in his old ways and doesn't trust BIP39 enough to convert properly his seed phrase into the private key (just like you don't trust LN closing properly a channel and settling your BTC balance on-chain). Typical. Franky gonna franky! I'm afraid this is a personality issue you need to resolve with a psychiatrist and has nothing to do with Lightning, Bitcoin or BIP39. Glad I helped!

Really? How did you store your private key back in 2009-2010? BIP39 didn't exist. Strange. I still got some wallet-backups from 2010 and they work just fine. Why would we need BIP39 to do that? Strange indeed. Did you miss the "user-friendly" part? Are you saying we don't need BIP39? Never heard of brain wallets? I can go on and on, in case you missed the point (constant evolution). I still have DOS games from 1991 and they run just fine via DosBox. Still doesn't make them as user-friendly as modern PC games from Steam...

Really? How did you store your private key back in 2009-2010? BIP39 didn't exist. There's a constant evolution towards making Bitcoin more and more user-friendly. It's too bad you don't see it. Just like the internet evolved from CLI/Gopher to GUI/Tik Tok. I reckon it won't take 30+ years for BTC/LN to become mainstream. Adoption lag keeps decreasing with every new technology.
