1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hardware Cryptowallet with Fingerprint Authorization on: October 19, 2020, 03:49:36 PM
This sounds great and looks good on paper. But I don't expect wonders from it and wouldn't rely on $50 device to check my fingerprints while my $800 iphone doesn't even do this properly sometimes. I'd say I'll just keep an eye on that one
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roskomnadzor blacklists Binance in Russia on: September 25, 2020, 05:25:23 PM
Is this a new attempt to cripple blockchain and its descendant coins?


Absolutely. Anyway, Russian legislation is far from reality, they impose dozens of anti-human laws but enforce them selectively when needed

I think this is true, our environment changes dramatically, but I'm still not sure to what degree it's anthropogenic and how much of it is naturally occuring process. The best stance about the issue I've stumbled upon was given by Jordan B Peterson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y564PsKvNZs
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Patience above all will be rewarded here on: August 27, 2020, 08:56:42 PM

Patience is very beneficial, but we also have to know the right investment strategy so that our patience in investing can pay off.

Exactly. While patience is certanily a factor, once you invest in crypto you should improve your competence at least to make that patience less stressful and be more confident with your decisions
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does the police do if they seize bitcoin from criminals? on: July 13, 2020, 06:01:11 PM
If only people knew where these seized assets (that are not sold at auction) are spent on, I wouldn't bother much, especially if it goes into something socially benevolent
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins joins the bank on: July 06, 2020, 06:11:39 PM

National banks already testing out their own cryptocurrencies, but are all stable coin.

So basically, they're testing anything but actual cryptocurrency
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is the HALVING working out for you ??? Remember all the predictions ???? on: June 26, 2020, 08:21:40 PM
It's too early to draw any conclusions right now. Wait and see for yourself, I have never seen any predictions that were accurate. Previous halvings took months to take effects anyway
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did CSW just admit that he stole 80k [btc] from Mtgox? on: June 12, 2020, 09:54:06 PM
His bullshit only digs his grave even deeper than it already was. If I was him, I'd stop right now with all the shit I was saying because it's going nowhere good.


I guess he's one of the "if you're walking on ice, you might as well dance" lune types, I can't describe it in any other way
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: J.K. Rowling, Author Of Harry Potter Is Interested in Bitcoin, Time To Short? on: May 16, 2020, 01:00:27 PM
I'm reading her tweets for the last 24 hours.

And it's like a drama that's full of scenes, you have to check her account and follow all of her tweets about bitcoin.  Tongue

https://twitter.com/jk_rowling

Definitely good PR campaign both for her and BTC. Doesn't even matter if she owns it (ofc she owns it, it's magic money for god's sake)
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 350 dollars, Eth or Bitcoin? on: April 29, 2020, 05:25:14 PM
I'd definitely spread it between BTC and Ethereum at 70/30 ratio
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is 51% attack a crime? on: April 22, 2020, 02:20:19 PM
51% attack will be so costly that only a government of a big country can pull this off to destroy BTC
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever lost access to your Bitcoins? on: April 20, 2020, 01:35:41 PM
Haven't ever lost any of my assets, but I'd rather choose to lose my keys by my own mistake than due to some exchange hack. Own your keyes and do it responcibly, that's the way
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Don't buy facemasks for the coronavirus! on: March 22, 2020, 02:34:09 AM
wise advice but people here and there anyway don't follow it  Undecided

Cause when humanity is in danger, even relatively mild, it doesn't care much about anything except its well-being
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did Satoshi think that quantum computers will exist? on: February 18, 2020, 10:30:10 PM
We're far from this technology to be actually implemented and none of the articles covering quantum computing provide decent info on why BTC holders should be concerned with it
15  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin withdrawal fee is damn high in exchanges! on: February 09, 2020, 02:50:43 PM
I know this is not applicable to everyone, but I cope with high fees by withdrawing bigger amounts in a less frequent manner
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is no Satoshi Nakamoto as a person on: February 06, 2020, 04:47:55 PM
I'd rather not know who the creator of Bitcoin is than dig through hundreds of unreliable sources to find confirmation of my presupposition (whateverit might be). Why does it even matter if Bitcoin is decentralized?
17  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Prince Harry's break with the Royal Family is a historic event...! on: January 27, 2020, 05:30:52 PM
I don't quite see this as a historic event as far as the royal family doesn't have any role now except it's a symbol of tradition. It's their own private bussiness, and the whole media screaming about it reminds me of Kardashians thrash news
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin value starts with people's attention? or with its technology? on: January 22, 2020, 03:54:19 PM



Is Bitcoin really a such innovative thing that can change people's lives significantly in the future?

I think we still live fine without having Bitcoin being actively used in our real lives.

Oh well... In terms of transparency, i can take on Bitcoin's technology.

But which one is it that raised its value so much though?

Technology or People's attention?

Of course it starts with technology but it's got no use without people. These are too abstract and vague questions to ask tbh
19  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do Humans Have Free Will? on: January 18, 2020, 01:03:01 PM
Nearly 90% of human behavior (in my humble estimation) manifests itself in habits that are automatic but yet can be changed. This ability and power to change oneselve's habits is free will. Also, mindfulness and attention is the key to change
20  Other / Off-topic / Re: How do you handle pain? on: January 11, 2020, 02:49:22 AM
I am one of many who seems to have chronic pain. I refuse to take painkillers because of what they can do to my body.
I am basically stuck using ice and heat. I don't have a bathtub so I don't have the option to use things like Epsom salt.
My pain is in my lower back, shoulders, and neck.

What do you do to handle pain?

You can try CBD if it's legal in your country. It doesn't have any psychoactive effects and works like a charm on any ache. Helps with anxiety and overall stress as well
