Hmm. Not bad. I've destroyed enough American hire cars to know their system works rather differently from the European version. Many companies here base their business model off taking your credit card and stacking massive charges on it for damage that never existed weeks after you've given it back.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to hire without a credit card in Europe. They take a monster deposit from it too and only release it when they've figured out what they're going to steal.

No, sir.

I do not partake in druggist competition. If he wishes to turn me into a mong he'll have to do it via ambush.

Far too extravagant.

I didn't get where I am today without wearing the same clothes since the 1990s.



Unless you're firing Ketamine buckshot into my face I will not be moved.

In 2017 when my (paper) net worth reached a sum I never expected in an aeon I bought a second hand hat to celebrate.

Then I sent it back.

He's a proper student of boxing. Anyone passionate about it would be more turned on by Fury than Wilder. He has a rather more complete set of skills. Wilder's good for the spectacle but if you know it all by heart he probably makes you a bit wistful for less flashy and more skilled times.

Silk Road was end stage retail. A bunch of internet libertarians do not go out and secure their own refining of opium and coca paste. It all comes from the same sources and distribution.

Had it survived I'm sure the druggist heavyweights would've been delighted to keep supplying markets that otherwise wouldn't exist.

That's my main beef with it. I'm sure it prevented some street level unpleasantness. It did nothing to combat the blood letting in the production and distribution process. If it had been my pet I would've done my very best to link user directly to maker which I guess would mean no coke or heroin.

Selling his own shrooms is how the whole thing started.

Bitpay gives merchants the opportunity to choose what ratio of coinage they keep. They said some of them keep a significant proportion.

People who provide services or have massive margins will be more capable of accepting it directly. Those that have fiat supply chains will find it a much harder and more lengthy process.

Even if you knew nothing about nothing that's a pretty alarming signal. I've never seen that before. You'd think someone would have a root around in there before sending him back out.

It might turn out to be harmless enough but it makes you wonder about how diligent they are.

I wonder whether Fury will have another post triumph dive of his spirits or whether it'll spur him on to keep busy.

Coinbase issues Visa debit cards right now. The fee on expenditure is 2.5% which is the highest among the piddling choice out there. If Bitcoin withdrawal fees reach and stick around that level there'll be plenty of moaning far and wide.

Aye. That was a good watch.

What struck me about the lead up and some of the commentary is that the one and only thing people had to say about Wilder was - that right hand,  when it was going to arrive, why Fury needs to be wary of it.

That doesn't really say much about the rest of him. Guess there isn't much to say. Going by his ear I guess his balance took a major knock. If that is true it was a proper show of toughness.

I find his Twitter pretty goddamn irritating myself. It's mainly mindless platitudes of an empty and pumpy nature. He rarely comes out with anything interesting or surprising. He does write a newsletter that he sends out to subscribers so perhaps that has more content. I certainly hope so.

It's not a phone hack, it's a 2FA hack. It wouldn't matter if they hijacked your sim if a wallet was on there. You'd still be in control of the data on there. Presumably it's an exchange account or even some online wallet.

That's a credit card you need for that stuff. I'd be utterly amazed if Coinbase ever issue one of those. It'll only ever be debit cards.



This is a pretty neat excuse for Coinbase to ignore lightning networks, that's if they ever actually get anywhere. They can say there's no reason to bother with it when they have a card that can plug in to the existing system.

Then they're toast. And there'll come a time where the tax man has a chain analysis program that pops out a giant bill for your every move in a fraction of a second.

That excuse reminds me of Lauryn Hill declaring she shouldn't have to pay her giant tax bill because she didn't choose to be born into the system she wound up in. Join the fuckin' club, honey. Funnily enough she wound up in jail.

Don't be a twat. Miners will abandon any pool in seconds that takes that idea seriously. A mining pool is not a miner and never, ever will be. Miners know better than to even voice the idea. 15 million is fuck all and no one's going to care other than the owner.

BCH however.... - https://www.removeddit.com/r/btc/comments/f7lbae/30m_bch_sim_hack/

Nope.

Unless Amazon starts offering discounts on everything exclusively for Bitcoin it won't make the slightest difference and they'll be unwilling or unable to offer such discounts. And why the hell would they? And by the time you throw in exchange fees, hassle and fluctuations there may not be any discount left.

No one buys something to buy something.

Merchant adoption is a dead end for now albeit a very convenient one for people already into it. It will never drive people into using it. It's a byproduct.

What's needed are employers to give the option of people being paid in Bitcoin. That would drive things much harder.

In the UK it's still a bit of a grey area. Plenty of people have been reimbursed after being conned or hijacked but it seems to be on a very case by case basis. What sucks more is that phone companies seem to be indifferent and immune to the problems their slackness creates. Whole lives are tied up in phone numbers now and that doesn't seem to have dawned on them.

Nope. I'm an Instagram model living my best life RIGHT NOW.

We're talking vegan, waxing, car footwell mats imbued with the smell of celebrity vaginas, rejecting gender pronouns and lot and lots of Subbuteo.

But I'll bet for the right people BCH and BSV would do it. All it would take is one phone call to the one miner.

Other than that what type of whale has any money riding on sim card? No matter who you are you should at least know that's not a great idea.

I find that a truly bizarre attitude. The potential actions of a few hundred people should not be dictating the choices of a few million. There are likely more deaths per ten minutes from the drug trade worldwide that there are per year from terrorism in Israel. Whole countries are not cut off because of it.
