I do not agree with this, they did not overadjusted the situation, they adjusted just right and it will go back to regular life like we had in 2019. Was it economically awesome? Were we all super wealthy and lived an amazing life?

Of course not, economy was always bad for people like me, I still failed to buy many things, but it wasn't as bad as the last 2 years, and it will get better eventually which I am sure that it will cause a lot of trouble for many people, but then it will get better in the long term as well when the time comes and right now it's that better time. We are going back to 2019 if you ask me, not a great life, but a better one.

They can't print more money as this would increase inflation even further. The only real solution for the FED at the moment is to keep increasing interest rates and try to contain the inflation. Only once the inflation is brought down they can focus on economics growth again. A recession could happen in 2023 but doesn't seem so likely, because when all the prices are rising then so are wages and whole economic output is going to be inflated. Number will be higher but in real terms, the value is not going up. We will probably see a rise in Bitcoin prices again in 2023 but the rise is going to be moderate first in my opinion. People are still scared to invest large amounts of money. At least in my country most investors still hold large sums of cash in their portfolio, even though it's the worst type of asset to hold during high inflation periods. It will probably take until 2024 and the next halving to prices really rally again.

I'm an open book. I have nothing to hide. I understand the risks and possible consequeces of giving up your privacy for the sake of transparency. I think I mentioned it somewhere before that it is pretty hard to stay anonymous nowadays, you had to be a hermit living in cave with zero connections to do that (at least that's what I think). So it's fine, what are they gonna do? come here and steal the bike? Goodluck on that. We Mindanaoans are tough as nails.
Besides, that post still needs to be public so it reaches more people so I could sell it ASAP.

I think that kind of observation is a bit radical!

Regardless of the system used, security begins with user behavior. If the person has a bad behavior, he is subject to problems, regardless of the system he has. It is true that one or another system can make it difficult to have problems, but they are not infallible.

Safety is always related to the behavior that the person has!

Really happy about the development of the site. Some of you might don't know, but there's now a discord for blackjack.fun where we can gather our ideas and suggestions. We needed that since the community is growing fast.

Thanks for the tips. I'll make sure to remember this.

I was looking at Christine Lagarde's latest remarks on CBDC's and it seems pretty clear to me that the agenda of banning cash and then replacing the euro with the "digital euro" is now unstoppable, which will for sure make the Bitcoin price go up.

However, it basically means that if you are supporting BTC, you would be developing a tool that "enables money laundering, terrorism, etc" and challenges the CBDC monopoly.

How realistic is it that public figures would be facing charges in the future? As a developer, should you remain anonymous? At the end of the day satoshi knew he was going against the status quo and managed to stay safe, however, what about all these doxed developers? I can see how they'll look on github and try to hunt contributors. We are facing a scary future. It's better to say steps ahead and plan accordingly. Someone with resources probably could move jurisdictions before it's too late but what about the rest. And even if you could move you could see yourself in an Assange situation trapped in some embassy. I would like to know if developers here think about this at all and what is your escape route if shit hits the fan.

True, although I wouldn't use that as arguments in bitcoin's favor. We want to get the general public to support bitcoin, and make them see that their government is taking away their freedoms little by little. Darknet markets and ransomware attacks, although good examples of what Bitcoin can do, aren't something a non-bitcoiner will find to be impressive features.

Plus, the government and media are just going to use that to their advantage to say how bad bitcoin is because it allows criminals and drug dealers to sell drugs and poison our children.   

They can never ban bitcoin if it's used the way it was intended - as P2P cash. They can ban what it has become in the meantime. An asset that is controlled and traded through centralized exchanges and similar services. The Central Banks together with their regular bank buddies can ban the transfer of funds to/from anything related to crypto. But a permissionless coin doesn't need their permission to move from A to B. They can never take away my right to meet you somewhere and exchange what we want face to face.   

hi everyone,

I actually never knew that. All I remember from the Segwit days was that Bitmain CEO who refused to activate Segwit on his pool and it created a lot of drama and ETH almost flipped BTC on the market cap before he finally caved in. Never knew Barry was apart of it.

With Genesis I am pretty sure they will just go and claim bankruptcy. In their point of view they will benefit the most that way. They don’t care about their relationship with Gemini or Gemini Earn customers and won’t want to upset their board members. Only question is when they will claim bankruptcy.

THE NEW YORK AGREEMENT

Meanwhile, the block size debate raged on. Another software client to increase Bitcoin’s block size limit per hard fork, Bitcoin Unlimited gained traction among Bitcoin’s mining community. Endorsed by Bitmain’s Wu in particular, the project appeared to be heading toward a potential (and controversial) hard fork.

This looming threat, and the possibility of a “split” in Bitcoin’s blockchain, was reason for DCG founder and CEO Barry Silbert to organize a meeting ahead of the Consensus 2017 conference in New York. Initially announced on a private email list for Bitcoin entrepreneurs and other prominent industry members, the meeting would bring together a significant chunk of the Bitcoin industry, including miners — though, notably, no Bitcoin Core contributors.

julerz12 started a reputation thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433643.0

He said he got hacked. I don't know him that well (or in fact at all) and if I was you I'd be pretty pissed off as well, but there's a big chance he's telling the truth. Looking at his activity, the damage in reputation could likely cost him more (long term) on the lost earnings than the $5k that got stolen.

The sad reality is, we'll never know the truth.

ok quick lesson

M1=coins and notes.. this is going down
M2=coins notes and demand deposits(debit/credit cards) this is small decrease due to M1
       (counting just debit credit cards(electronic payments see a rise)
M3=coins notes demand deposits and savings accounts, money market deposits this is increasing
       (counting just a savings accounts would see a larger rise compared to debit cards)
       (counting just money markets accounts would see an even larger rise compared to savings)

money supply is always increasing. just the form and where it is can become the mystery to some

so ill reveal the secret..
less coins and banknotes but more being put in the savings accounts and money markets

money printing still occurs, people still use credit cards, people still take mortgages there is still more money being created and the supply still increases.. all you proved is less people want to mess around with paper bank note forms of money

as for the windfuryism that he thinks there will be an event of a 60x (2015:$333-2017:$20k) in 2023..

fiat will never deflate

recession does not mean deflation. recession is just calming down of excessive inflation
it just means reduced inflation

instead of 10% they want to still money print but at a 5% rate instead of 10% rate

going from 2% to 10 to 5 is not deflation, especially if they can then go 5 to 7 later.. where there will always be more creation

deflation is going from 50, 25, 12.5, always getting less and less than previous until there is no creation

The problem with all bots is, no one could code all the strategy or a strategy for all market conditions. So, bots also will book losses. It means bots cannot be the final destination.
