It seems you do swap the rotor blades.
Nah. It's a rough area.

Well well, it seems LFC_Bitcoin has got a new dream? No more lambos? A chopper? I never fly in the same helicopter twice, baby. I throw them away like used tissues the moment I step out of one. This what the car park in my local gout clinic looks like. I'll let you know where I'm landing next.

Easiest way, change your BTC for cash and give that to him. Certainly in the current climate no one is going to want to accept bitcoin for goods.
They're not accepting Bitcoin if they use a payment processor. They're receiving dollars sent using BTC as a payment rail. In quite a few places people would rather stay away from banks and let a payment processor handle the conversion. Less potential for the bank getting arsey.

Do you agree on Tyler's view?
Yes. Absolutely. And it's very much to his credit as the usual Twitter pumpers aren't being realists about this, or haven't taken the time to consider it. Things will be back on track at some point and when the smoke has cleared conventional economics will be more zombified than anyone thought possible. That's when Bitcoin's qualities count. Until then it's getting pounded in the backside like everything else. Even then this should be a reminder of what most Bitcoin owners REALLY think which is - gimme more dollarinis. If there's no dollars then they're outta here. That needs to change before it can ascend to a more viable level. It doesn't matter what Bitcoin is capable of if the people buying and selling it don't care about it.

One day it has the potential to be that one day. All the necessary elements are present.
As for the present fuck nooooo.
It's a toy, a bet and a plaything to obtain more dollars in the minds of most. I'm not sure who'll be left if most of those people clear off but they'll be back just as quickly if it's looking sunny.

Any thoughts on what happens if conventional markets are suspended? You can bet your sweet cheeks that crypto will not be.

Just to double check these are credit cards and not debit cards? Have you used it without trouble in the recent past?
Many banks in many places have shut down the option of buying crypto with credit cards. Debit cards are a separate thing and often still work. Depends on your bank.

Thanks, i know this one already, but it's so different to the personal style of WO's Covid-posts, if you know what i mean. Too sterile.
Then infect the thread. They won't allow another one most likely.

Fair enough. I have absolutely no idea why his opinion is worth listening to on this particular subject though. Now I want to know what Lennox Lewis thinks because he fought Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson slapped his name on some ATMs.

EDIT: I'd like to create a CovidObserver thread, to keep WO "cleaner". But then i was afraid that nobody joins...
It's here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220206.0 where any other thread on it would end up anyway. I'd certainly prefer the discussion to migrate.

But Bitmex, seriously, why the crypto sector let this thing run?
Because it's voted into existence and sustained by the degenerate gamblers. Everyone flocked to Bitfinex despite its shonkiness because that's where the action was. There's no getting rid of it. It needs to grow out of this phase and move onwards. You can't really force that or magic up its early arrival. The best you can do is outlast it.

Mum says get your arse back in the damn bunker before she has to break out the paddle.
They both committed suicide after being driven mad playing Hawaiian Christmas by Wout Steenhuis and the Kontikis on an endless loop to protect me. I presume it's playing now but my brain has tuned it out. Ok. I'll check back in 2040.

Hard, why not go posture somewhere else?
OP is asking for a simple answer to a simple question.
You can harangue your loved ones about Bitcoin's shortcomings over dinner tonight instead.

This also came up: I was actually raised in a bunker from the mid 80s onwards because my parents worried Judas Priest would make me commit suicide. You're telling me it's safe to come out now?

I think people need to let their spiritual beliefs go with this particular subject. All the merchant wants is dollars in their bank. They do not give a fuck about S2X or whatever.
For better or worse that's all Bitpay do and they must have held thousands of hands by this point. There's Coinbase too but I think they make merchants handle their own seeds now which is why their processing business has collapsed, probably intentionally.

I will just assume it is an out-of-context headline.
Knowing what we know about him and many of the people surrounding him why would you think that?

Landed in Denmark. I am very disappointed that not only was I not thrown into solitary to serve my two weeks for the good of the nation, but I was not even asked any questions or advised to stay home or anything. I have been in asia since december for fucks sake. All they did was repeat a message about corona, don't hug and kiss etc. But people at least seem to take it seriously. They kept a good distance.
Taking the train home, there is a new rule that you have to reserve a seat. But, the seat reservation no longer costs anything to make up for it. This ensures that everyone has plenty of space. Also, like 90% of the usual train schedule was canceled.
America is not showing a great deal of diligence with their airport queues. https://twitter.com/Danai_data/status/1239167060028129280People are spending 6 hours or more jammed that close together coming back from Europe which I'm led to believe is bringing the 'foreign virus' over due to not being Winners.

What do you mean "created for this moment?" Do you think Satoshi was thinking of an economic crash when he created Bitcoin? I don't think so.
Sheesh. It's literally embedded in Bitcoin's very first block. https://www.thetimes03jan2009.comThat's a statement of intent if ever there was one. This particular set of circumstances we're experiencing may turn into more than a standard crash and Bitcoin certainly won't save you, but when it's over the normal monetary system will be weaker and more mutated than ever. That's one of the reasons why he created it.

To most people Bitcoin is either an asset or a bet. In conditions like these both of those areas take an absolute hammering. Assets eventually come back. Bets, which is probably the majority, go away for a while apart from those with the self discipline who eventually win.
