someone dumped eth and btc bigly
both came back well after the dump.
Donald Trump sends Crypto and other markets tumbling. Gold, Silver will rise to record breaking levels. Stay cautious, if you are accumulating, don't rush, I'm positive this is just the beginning of the biggest crypto correction we've seen, ever.  BTC goes down bigly vs. gold: I buy BTC Au goes down bigly vs. BTC: I buy gold Simple. Both are good. They complement each other. Keep in mind folks, gold was (in the USA): $35 / oz right before the Nixon Shock (1971). The US$ is now down well over 99% in US$ terms since then. |

Rumors are that Trump is threatening tariffs on China and Binance is massively destroying longs.
Thanks for the info. I depend on rumors when things happen so fast. I depend on rumors for "info", but reserve the right to NOT act upon them. |

Au (1 kg):BTC 0.87 (very low by recent standards)
Just bought some corn at ~111,000
BTC still very affordable.
Maybe a better way of looking at ratios would be BITCOIN:PLATINUM.... (Pt:BTC 0.44), I think I'll look at that ratio more.
Edited to correct various errors...

Weeks ago I would never have guessed that BTC at ~$122,200 (as I write) would be even MOAR undervalued vs. gold. Gold is now at about $4045, up from about $3000 back in February 2025.
1 BTC only buys you 0.94 kg Au (bitbo.io).
BTC is undervalued.

Ah well, that's too bad we can't use them in the USA. It looked like a good exchange.

... Dude, j_eddie, JJG, Jimbo, xmrhopium  Absolutely right. It's my (our) money (yet THEIR fiat), and now want to burden us with more regulation, hurt our privacy, limit our options... Clearly, the more payment options the better. Mal hecho, EspaņaMal hecho, Espaņa |

Thank you Abdussamad and Lucius for the warnings on using a flash drive on other people's computers. With so much malware out there targeting money / $ / BTC / data, it's important to be extra careful.

Proving once again that we have an excellent and helpful community here, member hosemary explained how I can copy (and save) a QR Code for receiving addresses in Electrum's wallets. This allows me to just bring a few small pieces of paper in case I want to buy BTC "somewhere" without having to use a cellphone or computer.
I just downloaded Electrum a few days ago. Version 4.5.8 (latest). Anyone interested in the rather useful Electrum wallet and its capabilities can check that out (how to copy and save QR Codes) over at the Electrum thread I started earlier today.
I like Electrum for the below reasons:
1) You can make an Electrum wallet that uses "1xxx" addresses, (also "3xxx"), but you have to Google-search to find out how to do it as the default addresses are the "bc1q"
2) Electrum allows "batch payments" (sending BTC to various receivers in one transaction)
3) I downloaded the program onto flash drives as an executable that I can take with me when I travel (as long as someone will let me use their Windows computer), just in case
4) And, of course, the fact that you can create QR Codes that you can copy and then print onto paper
Like most of us, I like to explore easy-to-use wallets that have capabilities of interest. I am also pleased with my Trezor Model T and BitBox02 hardware wallets. Trezor also allows batch payments, but BitBox has QR Codes that you can copy (and then paste and print) and BitBox also offers "3xxx" addresses.
(Edited for clarity)

You should be able to do it from here (although, I'm using an older version so it's possible that somethings might have changed since then):
It has changed. I just checked that and I couldn't find any option to copy or save the QR code image in request tab. In the newer version, you should go to "Addresses" tab, instead. To OP:Go to "Addresses" tab and double click on any of addresses you want. (If you don't see "Addresses" tab, click on "View" at top of the window and then check "Addresses".) After that, click on the "QR code" button at top right side of the window and you will see the window displayed above in OmegaStarScream's post. Thank you hosemary, your procedure worked!  My version is 4.5.8. The other work-around I found (unattractive) was to go to one or another of the free make-your-own QR Code sites. I tested one of them with a throwaway address, and my cellphone camera read it correctly, but still... I have a lot more confidence in Electrum's own way to make a QR Code. I like two other things about Electrum: 1) I have the program on flash drives as a Windows executable (allowing me to just bring that (traveling) assuming someone will let me use their computer) 2) Electrum allows "batch payments", so I can save a few sats when sending out BTC to several others |

... I am new to Electrum and I like it so far. There is a way you can set-up (4.5.8 ) a wallet to receive "1" addresses as well as "3". Which I like. My question is how can I copy & paste the QR codes for my Receiving Address? I could not figure it out via the Receive tab nor the window there. This does not appear to be addressed in the Help documentation either. Thank you for any suggestions! |

Bang!
Trump drops tariffs to most of the world to 10% for most countries. But not China... BTC and the markets love it.
Will Europe buy all the Chinese stuff if we won't? Hmm...

Bought a little today.
If there is a trade war, BTC will likely go up given some time.
No trade war, it will likely go up given some time.
Great technologies almost always are winners. HODL.
