Come on Bitcoin - you know what to do. It's your time to shine.




Actually, maybe we are seeing some decoupling of BTC/Crypto prices from the US Stock Market..or at least, IMHO, not as much as I dreaded! Smiley

Come on Bitcoin, you know the rule, if you are running from Bears you don't have to run faster than than the Bears, just the other guy, er 'stock market' Smiley





Futures are up ~4% not observing decoupling just yet

Guys,

Excuse my ignorance on this matter but is there a website that I can deposit fiat via wire transfer and can purchase some tether from the U.S?

It seems like I can only do BTC to Tether but any way I can get fiat to USDT?

Thanks a lot.

any help guys? Sad

Whats Tether? Is that a brand of toilet paper?

What do we think about the potential price direction this week, guys?



first down, then up, then down  Undecided

more pertinent important questions:

will equity markets stay open: I hope that US and UK will, I doubt that they would stay open in EU

will banks stay open: they should, or SHTF

will credit cards work: I am reasonably confident that they would

If all super leveraged speculators have been weeded out, BTC should stay stable while markets crash on Monday. Once leveraged speculators with funny money are gone, BTC uncorrelates from the market and only has one way to go

Global markets will continue to go down, but at certain point bitcoin will stop sliding, and that moment will be beautiful, as next it will start going violently up

A math meme that is funny rather than stupid:
Solve carefully!
     230 - 220 x 0.5 =

You probably won't believe it, but the answer is 5!

Maths iz hard.

Nope, I don't believe it.

It is 5! you better believe it

This is really shitty. There should be some consolation prize at least, like if most of the alts died right here and for good.

BSV is under LTC, corn is dirt cheap and in 8600 blocks there will only be 900 new BTC per day. Look at that volume and witness a beautiful redistribution happening in front of your eyes  Grin
969  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 12, 2020, 11:45:43 PM
Can’t imagine myself being the complete moron of selling my coin as cheap as they are now....

The selling is not done by people who need the fiat now. This is different. I don 't know what it is though.

Over leverage, look at that volume though  Shocked bottom in ?

Time to buy drink corn

buy toilet paper

Got enough fiat for that (the only advantage of fiat, it's multi use)

Not so much of a satire for the BSvers

As usual, just replace BTC and bitcoing with BSv and you'll see that they only need one judge's order to do whatever they want on that shitchain.

Still fail to see how that's worse than current default DNS hijacking by ISPs?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_hijacking#Manipulation_by_ISPs
Centralized. FBI just goes to one source (Cloudflare) for all their shopping needs.

Also remember the golden dot.com rule: If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. CF isn't doing this for the love coming from their warm hearts.

True, but how many ISPs are serving your area? At least Mozzilla has some kind of policy of record retention
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/DOH-resolver-policy

Think i'd rather have anything than default ISP like ATT

Almost no virus in Africa and South America.

And why do you think that is?

Perhaps air travel is not very popular/developed in these regions compared to Europe/N.America? Also not many Chinese people live there...  Cool

A lot of Chinese travel to Africa, and i think Ethiopian air still has flights to China. Might be hotter climate, influenza/flu tend to like colder seasons/climates

In which case Bitcoin will not go up. Fiat will simply go down.

In other news, watch out: Latest Mozilla update wants to route your DNS queries through cloudflare. Which since it's an internet provider means the Govt will be able to see all of your queries without a warrant.

(Run your own DNS servers ffs)

Doesn't Mozilla obey to your OS network settings?
Used to, but apparently there is a new "feature" where DNS lookups are passed to the "cloud" rather than going through your local resolver.


Thanks for the heads-up, guys. I went and found out it can be disabled.

Manually Enabling and disabling DNS-over-HTTPS

You can enable or disable DoH in your Firefox connection settings:

    Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Options.
    In the General panel, scroll down to Network Settings and click the Settings… button.
    In the dialog box that opens, scroll down to Enable DNS over HTTPS.

        On: Select the Enable DNS over HTTPS checkbox. Select a provider or set up a custom provider.
        Off: Deselect the Enable DNS over HTTPS checkbox.

    toggle doh

    Click OK to save your changes and close the window.

Ok so whats your DNS after you disable it? UK people won't get the feature by default and have to manually enable it because government complained with "but then it'd be hard for us to monitor them"
https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozilla-no-plans-to-enable-dns-over-https-by-default-in-the-uk/

But here you want to disable it? If you don't trust Cloudflare (and i don't) why not just point it to a custom DNS over HTTPS server that you do trust, surely anything would be better than your ISP?

I think the main issue is that they are defaulting Cloudflare.

It's not a panacea, but exponentially better than clear DNS requests that your ISP can intercept. Running you own DNS won't stop ISPs from snooping your cleartext DNS traffic.

Privacy Requirements

Mozilla’s TRR is intended to provide better, minimum privacy guarantees to Firefox users than current, ad hoc provisioning of DNS services. As such, resolvers must strictly limit data collection and sharing from the resolver. More specifically:

        1. The resolver may retain user data (including identifiable data, data associated with user IP addresses, and any non-aggregate anonymized data) but should do so only for the purpose of operating the service and must not retain that data for longer than 24 hours.

                Only aggregate data that does not identify individual users or requests may be retained beyond 24 hours.

        2. The resolver must not retain, sell, or transfer to any third party (except as may be required by law) any personal information, IP addresses or other user identifiers, or user query patterns from the DNS queries sent from the Firefox browser.

        3. The resolver must not combine the data that it collects from queries with any other data in any way that can be used to identify individual end users.

        4. The resolver must not sell, license, sublicense, or grant any rights to user data to any other person or entity.

        5. The resolver must support DNS Query Name Minimisation as defined in RFC 7816.

        6. The resolver must not propagate unnecessary information about queries to authoritative name servers. In particular, the client subnet DNS extension in RFC 7871 must not be sent to servers unless the connection to the authoritative server is encrypted and only to authoritative name servers operated by the domain owner directly or by a DNS provider pursuant to its contract with the domain owner.

Transparency Requirements

The party operating the resolver must be transparent about any data collection and sharing that does occur in accordance with the above requirements. More specifically:

        1. Privacy Notice. There must be a public privacy notice specifically for the resolver service that documents the specific fields for data that will be retained for 24 hours and that documents specific fields for aggregate data that will be retained beyond 24 hours. The notice should also attest to requirements 2 - 4 above.

        2. Transparency Report. There must be a transparency report published at least yearly that documents the policy for how the party operating the resolver will handle law enforcement requests for user data and that documents the types and number of requests received and answered, except to the extent such disclosure is prohibited by law.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/DOH-resolver-policy

Tell me how's that worse than what ISPs do now by redirecting unresolved domains to themselves?


Mozilla is the good guy here, It's not a perfect solution but leaps and bounds better than default DNS from ISPs. They're getting a lot of push back for it

BSvers at their best. If you redefine BTC to mean BSv, and decentralized to mean Ayre owns 60% of miners, then i don't see why Ayre can't do whatever he pleases with that chain. Idiots that buy those tokens deserve whatever is coming to them. It's funny to hear about courts from the guy who lost all his court cases.
As far as having some court in some jurisdiction try to stop real honey badger yeah good luck
