Everyone, since I'm going entirely bonkers, it's hard to know if the things I see are just my crazy imagination or actually happening. Can anyone help me with this one?
Is that a picture of the future president of Ireland, Conor McGregor, strutting around in a boxing ring promising to put Bitcoin on Ireland's balance sheet or no? It's just blank... or a cat picture... or something?
Honestly, I think our alien simulation overlords are just f&#king with us at this point. I suppose I'm down for it.
Yeah, you are not actually going crazy. McGregor has come out swinging (as always..  ), saying he is running for president of Ireland & want to adopt Bitcoin on country's balance sheet. what a wild, right? He said the holy grail is to give power back to the civil's money, pushing the concept of a national Bitcoin reserve as part of his campaign. So some folk are pumped, some are skeptical.. but one thing is for sure he is got everyone talking  Whether he is seriously aiming for office or just making a big bold statement, it shows just how far Bitcoin has come. It is not just for tech geeks anymore, it is in politics, in the spotlight, and apparently, even in the octagon.. lol So yeah, you are definitely seeing this right. We are all just strapped in for the ride at this point  |

It's amazing that you dollar people already have a new ATH, while we euro people are still 10k short.
well hey we work with what we have.. iow.. still happy enough here Ya, because a strong dollar is the goal when we’re nearly $40,000,000,000,000 in debt… Imagine being proud of being a fiat bagholder while the US is printing money and stacking BTC. Europe is failing in every way and a strong currency while your manufacturing is disappearing is not the strong position some think it is. This is why Europe is 50 years behind. They’re playing checkers while the US and China are playing chess. It actually highlights how complicated global finance has become. it is true the us $ remains dominant in market, it comes with trade-offs like a vast national debt & aggressive monetary policy On the flip side a stronger € does mean slower BTC gain for EU holders in fiat terms, but it also reflects partially unyielding fiscal control At the end of the day, Satoshi built Bitcoin to rise above these fiat battle utterly whether you are stacking sats in USD, EUR, or any other currency, the long term goal is financial sovereignty Indeed those are good points. For Europeans looking to flee before it completely falls apart it even can be viewed as an opportunity. Looking forward though, you’re getting a preview of what actions each government will take as fiat continues to crumble. If Game Theory in Bitcoin becomes a thing, there will be very obvious winners and losers. We’re seeing the writing on the wall now. well said dude What we are witnessing now feels like a live stress test of global economic policies, Bitcoin is quietly becoming the benchmark here for trust in a world of depreciating fiat. You are right this is a glimpse into how different governments will respond under pressure & those moves will shape the next decade For individuals especially in regions facing structural decline, it is not just about fleein, it is about positioning wisely. Game theory is in motion & those who understand BTC’s asymmetric advantage early are already a few moves ahead on the board |

Hitting 100k was nice, it's a psychological place that we needed broken, and we are staying above it currently, which is great. That means we are gathering power to go even higher, that doesn't exactly mean we will, it just means we will try.
Seeing bitcoin get back to $100k after a lot of resistance it faced at the time it got to it last all time high above $100k and still went back below that price, it sends a kind of reassurance that we are in for a ride that's going to continue getting bullish for at least the long term. $100k has become more like a ceremonial figure but eventually I am hopeful that we will get pass this phase and talk about the $200k in the nearest future. Slow but steadily we will get there but for now, every new hight is worth the wait and we will continue to anticipate new ATH even above the $107k we've seen in this recent bull. The year is still a long way ahead and the potential of bitcoin looks really better. We stay all glued to embrace all the things that awaits us in the coming months and years. Careful now, do not strain your neck looking up those chart lol 😂 |

There is a nice analysis of Wright's "proof" https://www.nikcub.com/posts/craig-wright-is-not-satoshi-nakamoto/Wright has a history of fabricating evidence in support of his claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Despite his claims of not wanting the notoriety or the attention, he is going to a lot of trouble
to construct a reality of himself as Satoshi Nakamoto. In the almost 6 months since the first
Wired and Gizmodo stories were published he has had ample opportunity to prove conclusively that
he is Satoshi, and the protocol and requirements for doing so are well understood and not onerous.
They do not require a 10 page blog post with notepad screenshots of shell scripts explaining
Linux commands, file formats or OpenSSL.
They also do not involve tightly controlled demonstrations in an environment completely under his control.
The real creator of Bitcoin would know this.
The burden of proof for anybody claiming to be Nakamoto should be high. In the case of Wright,
because of his previous fabrications, that burden is greater. His claims have to be treated with
a great amount of skepticism, and his actions treated not as those of a sincere person,
but rather as those of a person with a history and reputation for deception. Wright has yet to meet
this burden, and until he does, Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

Gavin explains how Craig Wright convinced him: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4hhecv/gavin_explains_how_craig_wright_convinced_him/Craig signed a message that I chose ("Gavin's favorite number is eleven. CSW" if I recall correctly) using the private key from block number 1.
That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum.
I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).
I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.
Did they publish this signed message later ? EDIT: even if so, it could has been signed back in 2009. He have to include date in the message to prove it's signed this year. |

Oh holy shit, I was not aware that he was proclaiming it was him on his website, I thought it was just Gavin being a lunatic and falling for shit fake proof. LOL, $signiture will always have empty value |

Are you sure the world will still exist in 2020 ? |

China officially allowed direct bank deposits to BTC exchange and it was the signal to start the rally.
But it's not a bubble yet, until we touch the new ATH.

Many countries' economies are ruled by morons with obsolete minds.

As soon as finex launches licensed version of Willy Bot, we will see the next ATH  |

They f*cked people twice with flash crashes. It's pure gambling to continue trading with them.
Finex charts should be ignored. Their recent "low" is artificial and was caused by system glitch.

Increasing block size is necessary thing, but XT schism is harmful for the whole bitcoin ecosystem.
This is just attempt to coup and impose their rules for btc protocol ignoring opinions of the rest of core developers.
In case if XT takes 50% of hashing power, bitcoin will be wasted. Everybody will start dumping btc until the price reaches zero.

Huh, what is 10,000 bitcoins ? Just one pizza |

It's not giving up privacy. It’s not like bitcoin will always be under DDOS or there would be a problem. If that happens there are other means to achieve privacy anyway.
How will you comment this finding: Connections are made over clearnet even when using a proxy or
onlynet=tor, which leaks connections on the P2P network with the real
location of the node.
