Since the beginning of the year, gold has grown by 8 percent. Nevertheless, if you decide to buy it now, it will be a good investment - after all, gold is one of the main shelters during inflation.

Now the whole world continues to adapt to the withdrawal from the Russian markets, import and export chains are being redirected, and the economy of the whole world is adapting. So these are unstable times.

Nevertheless, I have never considered and will not consider gold as an investment. Why? It is better to find another promising coin, like TON, and invest money in it.

With zero confirmation functionality, Pool users can now purchase or sell Lightning Network channels without the need for on-chain confirmations. A Lightning business, or Lightning service provider (LSP), can purchase inbound and outbound zero-conf channels for a user to give them the ability to send payments over the Lightning Network in a fully non-custodial manner, without requiring the end user to understand Lightning liquidity.

What has kicking the spam out of Bitcoin to do with your freedoms?

You are free to fork and/or make another altcoin for that purpose. Leave Bitcoin for bitcoin.

That is just it. Get yourself 1 terabyte SSD or HDD card.

bitcoin. binary data. numbers. math does not count sats the way you think casey prescribes
economics logic, math, common sense shows different to what casey says.. its not a franky opinion. its a data fact you can research and see

just do so at data level not PR campaign buddy eli-5 spoonfeed level

casey project of adding in memes into the dead weight area of a transaction uses a trojan exploit of an opcode(of many new opcodes added recently) to just auto treat as passed/success without validating it to any protocol format of requirement. its blindly passed rather than having to meet a requirement
learn the difference

for instance a legacy signatures have to meet requirements such as length limit. such as having a relationship to an input and the message hash calculations of signature proofs etc. a meme does not need to meet any format or standard or requirement its just blindly let passed due to an exploit

NFT on LN is also a failure.. again the proof of ownership /transfer lacks. yep you cant prove ownership in LN
there is a major point of blockchain.. its not just data store, its also the proof that cannot be edited of ownership and transfer
there was a big problem cypherpunks were hitting their heads against for decades before bitcoin was invented. and seems the ordinal adoration brigade and LN supporters do not recognise bitcoin and blockchain purpose.

casey can change which output his ordinal process follows, without messing with data. because his "transfer"(lack of) of such is not dependant on bitcoin code or cryptography or proof in hard data within the outputs to milestone the movements.. meaning that his ordinals do not use the blockchain function of proving the transfer in an uneditable way

there are ways to prove it but casey is not using it, so its a double fail

but the fact that he and his fans adore using blockchain as just a dead weight data store. is the facepalming part. those memes have no value, have no true ownership control and thus are just a waste of space done purely to force everyone else to pay more just to reliably stay in mempools long enough for mining pools to pick up and add to blocks

adding bloat to reduce the number of transactions that fit then charging more per transaction is the complete opposite of an efficient payment system and those idiots who love doing this are the ones that dont care about bitcoin. and yes ordinals is an attack because it uses a crappy cludgy backdoor to be added into bitcoin blocks without being verified as data fit for bitcoins purpose

i'm not so sure about that as far as being 100% guaranteed. what if whatever causes the dollar to devalue also affects other fiat currencies. what if it also affects bitcoin?

well if you can't explain why something is "laughable and very stupid" then maybe it's not. but if the reasoning has to do with your coins going higher in value because other peoples' coins are getting lost then that's really not a good enough reason...

so if bitcoin just stays under $100,000 forever that's ok too? what if the us dollar devalues alot and bitcoin still stays the same? that's ok too?

apparently bitcoin is supposed to go up in price at each halving.

never heard of that satoshi. that sounds unreasonable of a demand though. but recirculating old coins that haven't been used in 250 years does seem kind of reasonable. at least to me.  

Let's not forget that John Oliver are a comedian and a actor.... so their main goal is to find content that are controversial. Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are one of those topics that can be exploited to push a lot of buttons and get the most reaction from viewers.

These people thrive when they can pick people and technologies apart for their own gain. So yes, Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are a easy target for them and there are a lot of scams and shitcoins that are giving them a lot of content. 

I realized about the pattern you are talking about especially after I analyzed the charts and compared it between the previous halves and the next halves. I am under the impression that a similar pattern is possible, but it will most likely be broken if a red candle finally forms in April. I analyzed monthly TF, but I have doubts about deeper dip between May to July. If indeed a correction is still very likely, I don't think $20k will break.

Oliver has given three worst failures of the crypto time which include: 1) Terra Fall, 2) Celsius, and 3) FTX collapse.

Yep. In the context of a high key rate, rather high interest income on short-term US Treasury bonds and amid high inflation, there is absolutely no reasonable reason to keep your money on deposits at a symbolic interest rate (usually 0.1%), at least an amount exceeding deposit insurance limit. Therefore, the outflow of funds from bank deposits will continue and I do not see how this trend can be changed.

A month has passed and the passions around the banks have subsided a little, but the problems have not gone away. The high key rate and hints of its further growth make the outflow of deposits from banks increasing and it is not clear how this can be fixed. An interesting article in Bloomberg about this.

Yes, it is an opportunity though not so attractive as it was in November-22, with the price having dropped more than $3000 during the last week and currently trading at around $27,700. It appears as market may continue to experience sideways movement, and Bitcoin price may remain within a relatively low range for sometime until a break-up or break-downs occurs which usually happens after a period of sideways movement. Every significant dip should be considered an opportunity to accumulate Bitcoins for long term holding.

it's one thing for btc marketcap to go from half a trillion dollars to 4 times that. but another thing entirely go to 40 times that. do we really think that's going to happen?

ordinals is not going to drive that. so what's going to drive it? you would need 1000 projects like ordinals to get you up to $1,000,000 maybe more.

ok. don't tell satoshi either.  

Never think of putting that on an online storage or spreadsheets or emails, just don't. You already have the ideas on how to keep it in the best way like having it on a safe vault and have it written on a piece of paper. Mine was written on a piece of paper and that paper came from the original Ledger's provided form. I have my storage like a small pouch or bag that's not too hot in the eyes of many people but it's kept inside where I can bring anytime and anywhere I can. Dog tags are good but don't make it obvious that it's a seed or recovery phrases, there are many people now that's starting to learn about private keys, seeds and recovery phrases.

He does have an account here:

What's funny is he used to pretend that he made all his Bitcoin from trading and running a trading fund for wealthy investors... Of course that was all a lie. Not that there wasn't some level of ingenuity involved in how he actually achieved his BTC wealth.

This thread is what made him famous, at least on the forum anyway. It wasn't too long after he posted this that people started figuring out where his BTC really came from.
