All the news of advances for Bitcoin are nice. But in LN some actors are entering the game ...,of dubious origin, banks, institutions, startups, supported by the same.  This as news is fine, you do not have the coins immobilized in LN waiting. Crypto payment platform Bitrefill has launched Thor, a service that allows customers to open Lightning channels on demand. Thor will connect to Bitrefill's node on the Lightning Network, allowing users to receive Lightning payments whether they have bitcoin loaded into their Lightning wallets or not.https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitrefill-channel-opening-service-makes-accepting-lightning-payments-easy/I would be very glad to have banks joining Lightning Network. That would be great news. This may sound impopular, but I have my reasons to think that would have a great outcome for all hodlers. I do not know, I'm starting to have my doubts. I'm radicalizing to the hard core. lol I have even been accused in the past to be a "big blocker" supporter because I said I was in favor of a moderately increase of the blocksize (ie Segwit2x but absolutely against BU). At the same time I was absolutely pro Segwit and LN. Now I will probably be accused to be a bank shill when nothing is far from reality. I just want what I think it will be best for the success of Bitcoin and all the people that have their money where their mouth is (ie hodlers). I might be wrong though. Fortunately I am noone and my opinion means shit. This is like going to the dark side.  (It's a joke) I have my rationality and I know it is pure and unbiased. No matter how impopular it might sound to some. As I said I do accept that I might be wrong though... no matter how much convinced I am in my thinking. |

I can think of at least one strong reason why satoshi would like to sow doubt about his existence. So in your example of a possible scenario he (Satoshi) would come out and pretend to be a total dick to not be outed properly as a genius? Or perhaps satoshi is a total dick. I mean, why not? As I recall, the initial outing was not uttered by CSW. If by satoshi you mean the individual that was profusely posting here for a really long time... It is very improbable for him to be a "total dick" no matter how much effort he put into hiding it. Also there's almost zero probability for CSW to not being a "total dick" no matter how much effort he is putting in looking as one. Almost negligible possibility they are the same individual. |

@r0ach
If you had read what I posted in the trolls thread you would already know I absolutely do not care about all those Jewish references. You insist on blaming Jews for everything you think about. It is you who have the problem/obsession. I don't know if it is racism, religion or what.... as I said I don't fucking care.
If you want to refer to the current economic/banking system, that I do know how it works but please stop mixing subjects that have nothing to do. And don't even try to explain me how they do because, again, I don't fucking care if there is any relationship to any specific culture/religion/race/or whatever the Jewish are. No.Fucking.Care.Ok?
And yes, as long as current FIAT system do exist (and I see no reason in the short/middle term future to cease to exist) conversion will be needed for many things. It is you who thinks is living in an utopian world that does not currently exist not have enough prospects of becoming a reality in any reasonably near future.

And what about the spread of PM's.... you buy some gold/silver today and you sell it tomorrow to someone else losing like 20%. And that is in ideal circumstances. WTF?!
I like PM's, they did fill some niche in the recent past, but I don't see them in the future at all or maybe just as a way smaller niche.

[...]Lightning Network is an exact replica of the current banking system [...]
You have to upgrade your thinking.... Even if it had any similarity it would be only for letting them manage our pocket money instead of our holdings, exactly the contrary of what currently happens with the banking system in which we let them control the whole of our finances and we only control the pocket money. It's easy to see the improvement. |

Electrum is going to be "fucked" if they are not able to take measures to offset some of their ongoing negative press. Yes. The best thing for me is to generate paper wallet offline and cryptosteel and a small amount for trading. If you have more than $1,000 of value in bitcoin (and perhaps other crypto), then it can also be reasonable to invest in some kind of hardware wallet. I prefer Trezor over Ledger in regards to current hardware wallets that are available. I understand that there are several other hardware solutions that are available that I have not studied into. I am a bit nervous about paper wallets, but mostly based on my own lack of experience in using them. The problem I see with paper wallets is that you will sometime need to use a software wallet to "redeem" them so you are back to point one. Of course you could use an offline computer to run the software wallet, import the paperwallet and sign the transaction but then again, you could do that with a hardware wallet for added security (hardware wallet + offline computer). One argument in favor of paper wallets is that you can spread your stash over several ones with different keys... But if your stash is worth enough you can also spread it onto several different hardware wallets (with different seeds)... and maybe even some paper wallets. If I had to chose between hardware wallet vs paperwallet for a modest holding I would chose hardware wallet. Each option has its risks, but that is my opinion and choice. P.S.: And yes, if one's stash is worth 10x+ the cost of the hardware wallet I consider it a more than reasonable investment. Surely one day I will buy a Trezor. I have to convince myself, my brain is hard for some things.  (Google chrome, plugins...) Once you try it, there's no coming back. I prefer Ledger though (for its architecture around a secure element), but Trezor is also a solid one and the pioneer. During the next bull run (or black friday) I will have to order both the Trezor Model T and the Ledger Nano X. Unfortunately, I am currently too poor to even consider it. |

Pillo sitio. Ahora mismo no tengo tiempo de comentar mucho sobre esto pero es un tema que tiene tela de miga y sería muy interesante abrir un debate serio al respecto.
Algunas propuestas como las de que haya que informar de los Bitcoins que se poseen (sin que se haya vendido nada, que en ese caso es obvio que hay que hacerlo) son absolutamente demenciales.
Lo del blanqueo de capitales es lógico que sea una preocupación de los estados... y es verdad que las crypto, como tantísimas fórmulas, podrían ser un vehículo para ello, pero por ahora no hay indicios de que sea significativamente relevante. En la misma vía van las regulaciones con respecto al límite de los pagos en metálico, las "gift cards" y tarjetas prepago, etc....

Link?
Is everything alright Jay? It seems that most posters in this thread will provide some kind of attribution to the various substantive quotes that they make, but there are some members who do not. That posting behavior seems to be misleading at best and arguably bordering on plagiarism under certain purposeful neglect cases... especially when such posting without attribution seems to be willful and persistent. Glad to see you back JJG. I will solve this right now: Mic, JJG has a point here, you should *always* post a link to the source of your memes/twitter quotes. Happy now? P.S.: I needed almost a couple of minutes to make sense of your post. Please consider there are some non-english speakers here. Mic isn't. Neither me. |

I guess this proves r0ach is not really interested in arguing with anyone unless he has his hands attached to his back. It's fine. No big surprise here.
We can anyways discuss some of those offtopic stuff in here so we don't have to trash WO with that rubbish. So... What do you guys REALLY think about PM's?
I thought about buying gold with my free BCH last year. I didn’t in the end but I think it’s a safe long term investment. It’s better to keep physical gold in a safe place than to keep fiat savings in a bank as interest returns are so crap. I also though about buying some PM's in Q4 2017. Wish I had... but I wouldn't hedge too much into PM's. Also, in europe silver pays 21% VAT so if one consider that plus the spread between buy/sell, you are basically underwater almost 40% the very moment you buy some. Gold doesn't have VAT, but it does have a big spread too. As much as I like to think I should have some PM's, all my rational thinking tells me otherwise. |
