it was 20 thou years ago and that's why we got so smart...it ain't now and that's why we are getting progressively dumb and dumberer...I have a front view as i see the level of students' intellect and preparation with a noticeable downslope in the last 12-15 years, accelerating after 2020. From my point of view, i don't see how it could be reversed. I don't know what is causing it, and why there is no urgent alarm sounded so far. We are on the way to 'idiocracy', maybe governed by the AI 'overloads'. I am sorry to paint a bleak picture...maybe someone has an explanation...I would like to hear it.

I am not sure how it's related to Coinbase. I saw the email address was Coinbase@pro.space. But this is the receiver email. If a user uses their email on the internet, it's not hard for a scammer to collect email information from the internet and use them for their purposes. The email they got is pretty much an old scam. I am surprised these scam attempts still work, and people fall for it. The scammers send the same email to thousands of emails. One Reddit member said the Bitcoin address he received from a scammer to pay; he already got five $400 transactions. This means five people got scammed.

I did not see anyone commenting on whether they are Coinbase users.

fwiw I read somewhere that as long as we close above the weekly EMA 21 we should be fine...  right now around 25500

"First Mover Americas: Bitcoin Dips Below $27K After Hot UK Inflation Report"

Guess it wanted to cool off before taking another leg up.  

raspberry pi is a terrible choice to run any btc node of any kind

Good idea. But drinking lemonade with bitcoins would be very expensive. Here the cost will be 20-30 times higher due to the increased transaction fee of Bitcoin. So I consider it totally expensive. Business can be profitable if cryptocurrency other than bitcoin can be set in this business.

Who cares what ledger do though. They are just a company, they aren't Bitcoin. The market will determine if that service is useful to people and being how many stupid people there are in the world I'm sure it will get used. Effect on Bitcoin is zero, the bocks keep coming, as always.

Crypto news are a bit depressing don't you think ? Much more FUD and crap than positive news. Well a bit like real news I guess.

The ledger thing for example, they provide hardware wallets that help you be your own bank without too much complication (seed is secure even if the computer/smartphone isn't), then they offer a service where you need to KYC and give up your seed to a third party, makes sense NOT !

Thanks.
He's absolutely right on the cat/mouse aspect, regarding it's not a mistake to limit requests from bitcointalk to imgur.

Jim Cramer strikes again

Not your server, not your images.  As a long-term bitcoin hodler, how did I not see that coming?
 

Here is another funny question, "What the hell does the U.S. Govt plan to do with the massive bitcoin balance they have?"

I see no harm in that. The system has protection against serial uploads, but one image per hour is at will. Tell me what you need and we can look into it.
