My other neighbor knows I am into Bitcoin and he learned from me, I guess that's how this other neighbor knew, I told him to go meet the next neighbor but he said he is not ready to teach.
Your entire neighborhood knows about Bitcoin? |

If I had 1 BTC for every crypto terminologies thread that is posted here on Bitcointalk, I'd have the entire BTC supply already.

Always use custodial platforms with the assumption that they will one day freeze withdrawals. Always keep your funds deposited at a minimum.

Fuck centralized entities. Non-custodial bitcoin only or bust.

I'm gonna bet $100 that this didn't really happen.

Bitcoin Core developers work on the key software underpinning Bitcoin, focusing their efforts on a variety of improvements (privacy, security, user experience, etc.) at the base layer of Bitcoin. They are often volunteers who may sometimes accept funding grants or donations in support of their work.
Wright contends that Bitcoin developers can easily change the protocol's code in order to return the keys to those funds to him. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/02/03/craig-wrights-uk-case-against-16-bitcoin-developers-to-go-to-full-trial-report/Is this guy retarded? Even if developers push in code updates that moves all the Satoshi coins to an address that Craig Wright controls, does he really expect the Bitcoin community to actually run the software? This must be the dumbest thing I've read in 2023. |

Just purely out of curiosity. 99% of people who don't know how to properly create an airgapped device should be using hardware wallets.

*Bitcoin drops 10%* - "I'll wait for it to drop further"
*Bitcoin drops another 10%* - "it's going to drop more"
*Bitcoin drops another 10%* - "I'll finally buy at another 10% drop"
*Bitcoin drops another 10%* - "looks like it's going to drop further"
*Bitcoin drops another 20%* - "I'm not buying. bitcoin is dead"
*Bitcoin reaches the price floor, then rises slowly for months an months* - "I'll wait for the dip"
- repeat after every halving cycle -

However, at the very least, it is worth appreciating that there are hearings such as this, even if it is just on a relatively small subcommittee level. At least, democratic processes are still working. Moreover, reliable resource persons were invited, given ample amount of time to elucidate on contentious issues regarding Bitcoin and crypto, which probably made a lot of less-informed lawmakers realize the real score.
While the committee may generally be considered technologically incompetent, it has also showcased certain members of congress such as Rep. Anthony Gonzalez and Rep. Warren Davidson who appeared to be objective in appreciating Bitcoin as an emerging financial technology.
Yes. It was actually surprising how sort of neutral some of the representatives are. But I swear Brad Sherman is a total dunce. |

What do you mean discounted prices??
Bitcoin $3000 was a discounted price. 30K is WAY overvalued.
How did you end up with these numbers? Pulled them out of your ass? |

Surprisingly Ross Ulbricht manages to get a 30 minute message out even while being in maximum security prison. Scary how after listening about his experiences, that we'd immediately realize how we're totally taking our freedom for granted. Even those really really small things like having access to your family and friends. Just speechless. Even the crowd was quiet after the message. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wRdr33D36Q |

While I'm not a fan of lawsuits, especially in the cryptocurrency space, I really want this twat gone. Quote from COPA(The Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance)'s Tweet: "Today, COPA initiated a lawsuit asking the UK High Court to declare that Mr. Craig Wright does not have copyright ownership over the Bitcoin White Paper. We stand in support of the Bitcoin developer community and the many others who've been threatened for hosting the White Paper."

Here's a quick clip from 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpNnTuK5JJUIn summary, with cash, people have privacy. With CBDCs, the government will have total control. It's really stunning how some people actually think that this is what's going to threaten Bitcoin. |

If you're out of the loop: NFTs = Non Fungible Tokens Buying and selling "digital art" has been a trend quite lately. People selling "ownership" of certain art for a certain amount in ETH. Are NFTs really just pure bullshit? or is there just something I don't get? The arguments of people who like NFTs are "it's like owning the real Mona Lisa". Yes, because having a fake Mona Lisa painting is not going to be exactly the same with the original. But digital art? Literally copy paste that shit and you'll have the same exact thing. Like this one. Sure, cool art, but buying it for 1 ETH? I just don't get it.  |
