Presently, should we say it's good the way bitcoin its been tied to dollars? Dollars is not backed up with any resources but to my understanding, bitcoin is a product of great energy surge. We shouldn't let bitcoin tied to dollars but bitcoin standing on its own. What could decide the durability and value of bitcoin? I have some ideas..

LOL True. I guess im trying to wrap my head around the idea of "New Math"

I guess if you read enough math text books, maybe you could see a new pattern emerge?

If that's the case, big IF, then Bitcoin will need a hard fork soon. I wonder if any of the DEV are working on this already?

Supposedly the leaked paper describing the Q project from Open AI describes a training model cracking the AES 192 encryption very fast. Using "new math"

Thoughts? If true, that means huge implications for encryption and the bitcoin network.

I'd rather just use /dev/urandom and convert the format as needed. Your Ledger probably is more useful if you use it either as decoy or store altcoin if you can't find better software wallet for that altcoin.


Ledger isn't open source. And with various controversy, don't trust them or their product too much.

Yes, you can read these topics:

Despite all odds that are said about Australia, its true that they have grown up nicely. Except the fact that Decembers are hot and June is Cold there.

 Considering Australia began modern-day life as a penal colony for wayward Irish folks (mostly thieves) they're not doing too badly; it could have gone Mad Max

not exactly. hydrogen bombs were invented a long time ago and they use fusion. if you're talking about controlled fusion then yeah it's been a long and arduous road they've been working on it for decades. you have to admire that type of dedication from scientists all over the world. and i think they'll get there eventually but what i don't think is that it will make peoples' electric bills go down. they'll still charge them the same which pretty much negates the benefits of fusion power for consumers. no one is going to just give away free energy or even close. they're going to corner the market and charge as much as they possibly can. kind of like nuclear power plants do...

but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong that it won't lower peoples' power bills. did solar power do that? probably not!

I wanted to purchase asic ice river miners.

In this case, investing in Bitcoin is basically feasible for both the short term and long term. Some people choose to keep holding their Bitcoin until their price target is reached or until the next few years, or until at least the bullish era next year. However, some people also do this as a short term investment by taking profits when they have reached a certain profit target, then buying again and holding for a short period of time and taking profits again, and so on.

but what is certain is that Bitcoin is a very valuable investment, which will most likely experience a significant price spike in the next bullish era. So, if you don't really need money and you don't really understand short terms or trading, it would be better if you continue holding, at least until the bullish era after the Bitcoin halving. There is no 100% guarantee, but usually this will increase significantly. be patient and don't panic about anything that makes you afraid or worried.

Apologies to be blunt, but I believe the answer falls something along the lines of:  "None of your business".

When it's your money, you can wonder about what to do with it.  If it's not yours, then what the owner is or isn't doing with it is of no concern to you.

Every single investor has a target, so you need to have a plan for your investment. If you are comfortable with what you have earned so far, you can sell and make a little profit. But if you think you can bear the risk of keeping it's still a good choice because there are possibilities that the price of Bitcoin might appreciate. Keeping the money in a bank is not an option for me because of the high inflation in my country.

I think the reason for his anxiety is because of the worth of that $100 to him. Some persons have to work for months to save such amount. The advice that one should invest what he can be able to bear in case of loss is important. Maybe he might be less apprehensive if he earns more and $100 become less valuable to him.

The string OP has shared is a transaction hash or TXID, which is an identifier for the transaction, not the transaction itself. You cannot broadcast that - you need the raw transaction in order to broadcast it.
