Yes, but that's the exact reason I mentioned the numbers.
Of course, nobody can force every citizen in the EU to stop stealing electricity for any kind of activity, nobody can ban everyone running an Appolo miner that draws just 200w, and there will be people who will still avoid this ban even with ASIC miners.

For example, in my case, it would be easy to hide one or two ASICs in the farm run by a family just as I run a few now completely legally and paying my bill, but in all these cases where somebody can hide a few miners, the overall number won't matter compared to the actual hashrate. It's like you sharing movies with your friends would kill netflix, and we know how that went.

That's what happens when you adopt a legit way of getting a loan to a money printing scheme, in a normal business procedure if a company would be offering you a special loan in which you would have to use a part of the funds for assets that can be collateralized and be part of your manufacturing or whatever your business type is, it would be legit, just as a stretch from issuing shares for expansion would come close to this.

What they are doing is just on a different level, I'm still surprised why the US is still letting them roam fee, but I'm pretty sure if one government agency will ask them to provide the proofs they are not operating like either a fractional reserve or a Ponzi scheme there will be thousands who is defended tether and blame everything on the evil gubbermint.


Remember what I was telling you about how some defend Tether or at least are gullible enough to repeat what others tell them till it ends all over the internet?

The Tether Business Model – How Does Tether Make Money



But, but, you're losing the opportunity to lose all your money 

The whole hash rate that you might feed with staling electricity, just for the sake of numbers, let's say 5%, 15 Exashah, the best gear on the market, S19XP, 100k machines needed, 300MW or a nuclear reactor worth of electricity staling before anything else will not help is a bit when compared to the scandals and the negative representation in the media about the thieves getting caught.

Again, this can't be done by small individuals, with larger it's becoming way risky and if we talk about huge farms that have some shady deals with governments, well, how is that helping decentralization at all when they are killing small legit home miners with their free electricity?

It's nothing new, Bitstamp tried to start charging this half a year ago, but there are others who have done this for a long time, let me quote my post from May 2020 when some were outage that Latoken will be doing this:




Hmm, let me get this right, a fee for inactivity is discouring people from actively using crypto?
This is like an extra tax on unused office space would discourage owners to rent it.  

It's actually encouraging people to stop using exchanges are wallets and stop leaving all their coins on an a CEX that might get hacked or "hacked" and thus lose all their money.

And not only that, it's actually worse.
The same morons will defend this fiat coin to the death, arguing that money printing is not bad because is backed by the same printer, that the coins are secure because that's what some random guy on Twitter said, and most important, it can't fail because he has some, and this will lead to more and more falling for this "stable coin".

I am sure that despite the whole luna/terra fiasco, despite the fact that everyone is saying look what happened, you need to be careful, despite all the sob stories on Twitter from the victims, the same "investors" who put their money in just to keep them safe will again fall for the next scam or failure. And when that happens I'm willing to bet that at least a big portion of the ones screaming how they lost everything with tether are the ones that screamed they have lost everything with ust.

And it will keep on going like this forever, no coin can fix human nature, but human nature can destroy any coin.

The reason for him saying that is right in the article:


TSMC and Taiwan (which at this point cna be considered one entity already) are scared that if their influence in the world would decrease so would the help in case an invasion from China happens. But this is only a speech, in reality money counts:

Taiwan's TSMC progressing well with Arizona chip plant, governor says

Besides, what can they say, that they will lose the top spot and that their business is doomed?
Have you ever seen a CEO saying that the competition will bankrupt his company in the next years?


The foundry price was 18 billions, he spent 44 billions on twitter, do you actually think that money was the problem, besides, if there was a shortage of chips, how was that possible in the context of these small margins you claim?

Bruh, nobody screams in agony here!
The only ones that claim destruction, death, recession, and that the whole country is doomed are the ones that never set foot in Germany in their lifetime. Just look at the profiles of those that scream the economy is dead, most of them are from Russia, Asia, and Africa, people in Europe are not hiding in their bunkers and are not preparing for an iceage.

Read the topic and see how everyone is surprised that the prices are nearly the same as in their countries while the wages are 10 times higher, that the stores are full, all those things are of no surprise to us, people that actually live in Europe. But brainwashed propaganda zealots are having heat attacks seeing how everything still works here.


So you're telling me that in the richest country in the world or whatever you called Russia, the average monthly pension will be not enough to buy one Milka Chocolate a day?
And you guys still consider yourself a global superpower and a model of how a country should work?

I think that the loophole might be in the own system:


so just go to your local branch, ask to make a wire,  sign it and it shouldn't get against the limits, that is if they still have physical offices and have not turned all their branches into kiosk payments only.
If that doesn't work, just have your wife split the funds, 72000 GBP a year would be enough for most families.

The problem will be when they change the limit from 3000 a month to zero a year, that is going to be ugly.



It's the other way around, the limit for 3000 is for buying not for selling, they don't care how much you pull out of an exchange.

Desperation, your name is pooya87!!!

After getting hammered with all the news that there is sunflower oil in superstores, that we have more than enough food, that gas has dropped 5x times, that the German economy has still posted growth in the last trimester, that there was no wave of 60% of bankruptcy now it's clinging to straws time, one company one out of one thousand.

Don't worry, the company has already been bailed, 28 billion is nothing, it might be much for the Iranian economy which is half the size of Bavaria, but for a 4 trillion economy is peanuts. Worry about your crumbling toilet paper rial that just hit the lowest against the dollar and stop caring so much about countries you will never get a visa for. 

As for the stock market crash, DAX is recovering pretty well,


must be really painful for you.

But keep it coming, those topics full of flaming hate will keep us happy and warm in winter 

Hihi seems like their partner cryptoconvert just added a bit of capacity over LN just at the start of the month probably when the partnership was finalized. Anyhow, it's still the best combination to date, you still keep your coins in your wallet and you pay over LN if the third party has enough funds and liquidity the strain on the main chain will be limited to a few transactions for thousands of clients.


I assume this is in rands, so 3 US cents, slowly we're getting rid of the "fees are higher than a coffee cup price" saga.
Now let's see how this goes!

Just to make sure that I don't get misunderstood because of the previous post.

Yes, it's damn frustrating to not see action taken, and it's frustrating to not even get a reply on your ticket/report, but at least for me this won't be a stop in sending a few emails, after all, it's a 3-minute thing that could prevent somebody losing years of his earned money to a piece of something scammer. And a ton of frustration comes from the lack of feedback, at least if they would deny it, if they would say like Twitter did that they haven't found any problem with an account promising double the money, but the silence is worse than this.


Since the .one is now redirecting to the .xyz I don't know if it's the same guy, but for certain it landed in the hand of the worst one to date, the owner of the xyz that now tops the search results because of his fake complaints to Google.

You, Hitler and who else thinks of this?


And while we're still at this let's compare pubs with ASIC miners, wallets with the Dorset cliffs, porridge with private keys, and Mark Karpeles with the Queen, cause it all makes sense.


If you mean simple as simple-minded void of any actual number, yeah you got this right:

Uk, M2 supply  $3.6 Trillion, exports $714 billion.
China, M2 supply $37.5 trillion, exports $3548 billion.

Uk wins this by a double ratio.

And I was telling you he is a wannabe JP Morgan and from the looks of it might end like JT Heath (the guy was lynched).

No wonder he has become so eager to see everything regulated and which that much emphasis in his speech on stablecoins and tokens, he knows that with one wrong step, and FTX token is in trouble, and if that happens the rest goes like a house of cards without a money printing machine, nobody with a brain isn't aware of that after the latest series of fiascos, and he, with his involvements in voyager and celsius knows very well what happens.

That being said, FTX the exchange won't go down, the thing is just way too profitable, but the empire that he wants to create for our sake might not see the end of this bear season.

If you're extremely lucky! One year since I posted in here:
[Warning] Fake Chipmixer website

is even worse, Namecheap was at one point taking off Ponzi schemes in a matter of days, disabling mining gear shops (probably for internal investigation) and then erasing the domain altogether, especially when I (and probably others) mentioned they were using a copyrighted name but after a period, nothing.

And even if they suspend the account, the domain just pops-up back again once it expires, brand new

You're overthinking stuff.
All I need to do is install electrum on a laptop and get an address and the seed of the wallet.
Erase everything, throw away the laptop, send the address to the middleman and watch the address in mempool, when the deposit gets confirmed I hand the documents to the spy, I get my passport, I fly to Salvador, and there I restore my wallet. 

You don't need to be connected to anything to receive, also I don't think somebody who has done this and got enough in payments will linger that much in the states after it.


Coming from a country that after the fall of communism was corrupted as hell, I wouldn't really care about things 10 years after the event.
The first thing that can send you to prison is to actually receive the bribe and if you don't spend it because of a guilty conscience with BTC at least you can be safe, with any other method you're in danger, bank accounts, gold, a suitcase of money, with everyone is the danger of either being traced or having been filmed when you pick it up.

With the coins in your wallet, you can wait 10 years, become a grandpa trader,  buy a 5 BTC sell 7 BTC, declare all profits, and be totally legit.
Oh, and since you're mentioning yachts, there is no way in hell and no bribery method that would cover something of that size, at that point you have to be the law, much like in Russia for example.

So, a full trading day was over and it was rather uneventful, every single move was already priced in, and not even the full speech about the future possibilities dint triggered anything but rumors that dies down pretty fast.

If there will be a rally most likely the first possible date for it will be Nov 10, that's when the inflation data is released, if inflation growth has cooled off or we see things better than expected this will mean no more aggressive rate hikes and probably straight to 25k at least, a few good months and we will revert all the loss when this shit started back in April.


One day, but it's nowhere near.
Just the fact that we're still down 50% since spring despite inflation it's a clear thing that it's not fiat currently that is losing value the worse.
If those months have attached us a less is that you simply can't think of an asset commodity or whatever investment to go x10 in value in difficult economic times, for one to gain value you need money and there is not that much on the side for investment currently.

He's thinking of the ROI when saying double and he's got that 15k value from studies like this:
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/the-cost-of-mining-bitcoin-in-198-different-countries/
pretty sure there was a thread about it but I can't find it anymore based on that thing there would be like 4-5 counties left in which you could mine at a profit and in which 100 miners won't be more than the grid can handle.

As for the ROI when he said the hashrate could double he did the math like it would double from tomorrow, not that it will be a somewhat linear growth, that's why the 2 years on free electricity with the best miner is now on order. But completely inaccurate!
If things were that bad we would see the hash rate decreasing already rather than doubling in a year.

There are a multitude of graphs and websites that track the correlation between Bitcoin and almost everything that is tradable on this planet:
https://app.intotheblock.com/insights/markets/indices/western

Corelation between SP500 or Dow and bitcoin has gone down from record levels a few months ago but it's still pretty high and actually growing back from a slump, no real breakthrough will happen unless something major happens in the economy, and that might not be good for anyone.

Too bad that the change (if it happens) in Congress won't be at all favorable, Republicans have always sought more control, and since the article does relate to the Patriot act, it was the Republicans who pushed it and the Democrats weren't all against it, how do you think this will look when the Dems are the ones pushing it? 545 pro votes about of 535?


The human brain is one of the most unreliable wallets out there.
Forgetting trauma that might affect it, I'm pretty sure that a few years in detention where you will only think of it stressed not to forget, with nothing to write down will create a mess in your head where you alone will screw your memory and the order of the words just like amnesia.

Here is the paragraph in question:

As simple as it gets, you don't disclose you have a ton of coins that you promote or "voice your opinion" it means market manipulation.
You start your video telling your fans that you're 200k in debt, took 3 mortgages on the house, and have a loanshark stalking you cause you bought 100 BTC , then you might get away with it.
