I'd be happy to buy at any of the prices she was taking the piss out of. You could buy sub $400 Bitcoins back then, and soon they will be $40k+ Bitcoins.



She should have been buying instead of posting this stupid gif interspersed with geriatric pics all day every day.

I see the gay cards didn't work either, so what's moving the price then?

If he's smart he didn't sell everything, or maybe not even a majority.

Either way if he didn't blow it on hookers and coke he could still have retired on that amount, nothing to sneeze at. I wouldn't mind having done that "mistake".

wonder if that was an option back in 2017.

either way i would rather have separate accounts for exchanges.

i figure at this point all my finances are well known to banks and whatnot anyway. they have too many ways to link everything anyway. not that i like that of course. and im no where smart enough to get around that stuff anyway.

...

Good info, but not really relevant as I am sure all my regular payment information is already widely available within the financial system.
I use credit cards, so if someone wants to see what I spend on, they already can.
Regarding my crypto dealings all this does is to inform someone that i sent a few deposits to coinbase and gemini. Not very important.
In other words, everything that you described is already there via gazillion of info aggregators that are plugged in into the financial system.
But, thanks for reminding me one more time how much under the microscope we all are.
Ever wonder , how come after mentioning "vacuum cleaner" in your text or on a Facebook page, suddenly you are bombarded with vacuum cleaners everywhere, even on btctalk?
Do I like it? Not in the slightest, but learned to mostly ignore it.

I also remember something like this (also in 2017 or so), which was unusual. I wrote to them asking, basically, wtf?
The answer was that you enter the password on a special bank site, not on the Gemini site (all banks are integrated there) and the session is not recorded (right!!).
It is probably similar to how you can prove that the btc account is yours by signing a message.
Basically, they see that you were able to login, but they don't see the password as you login into your bank, essentially (or so they claim).
I think all they get from the session is the record that you were able to login into the account you claim to be the owner of.
The explanation was that this gives them confidence that the bank account is actually yours and you can control it.
I did it, but then had to wait at least 3 weeks for approval.
The only reason I initiated it in the first place was because at that time they had no limits (at least no discernible limits) on withdrawals and you can trade immediately after you initiate the deposit, which Coinbase did not have at the time.

Information we collect from your financial accounts. The information we receive from the financial product and service providers that maintain your financial accounts varies depending on the specific Plaid services developers use to power their applications, as well as the information made available by those providers. But, in general, we collect the following types of identifiers, commercial information, and other personal information from your financial product and service providers:

    Account information, including financial institution name, account name, account type, account ownership, branch number, IBAN, BIC, and account and routing number;

    Information about an account balance, including current and available balance;

    Information about credit accounts, including due dates, balances owed, payment amounts and dates, transaction history, credit limit, repayment status, and interest rate;

    Information about loan accounts, including due dates, repayment status, balances, payment amounts and dates, interest rate, guarantor, loan type, payment plan, and terms;

    Information about investment accounts, including transaction information, type of asset, identifying details about the asset, quantity, price, fees, and cost basis;

    Identifiers and information about the account owner(s), including name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and address information;

    Information about account transactions, including amount, date, payee, type, quantity, price, location, involved securities, and a description of the transaction; and

    Professional information, including information about your employer, in limited cases where you’ve connected your payroll accounts.

    The data collected from your financial accounts includes information from all your accounts (e.g., checking, savings, and credit card) accessible through a single set of account credentials.

FECKING PASSWORD ACCESS TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT?

Is that even legal? I bet most banks have a clause in their terms and conditions forbidding disclosure of your password to anyone.

If you are unable to link your bank account via Plaid or prefer not using your online banking credentials to register your bank account, please exit the screen and navigate to Manually link bank and input your wire information. Once your bank account information is set up, you can complete the bank verification process with a successful wire deposit into your account.

Do you know who earns 31 Bitcoins per day?

Grayscale.



Fucking unbelievable.

They now own more than 3% of the total bitcoin supply.

Fucking unbelievable.

They sell their Bitcoin at 24,000 USD each.

Fucking unbelievable.

OT: Another idiot soon to be indicted for shitcoin securities fraud.

Have these people learned nothing from the ICO debacle?

When jail, bro?

Read from all sources, it's always good. CoinTelegraph is not saying it, they are quoting someone else as saying it. If anything, the basic fundamentals of bitcoin that we all know can not be changed without consensus. That implies, some certain parameters will never change, such as the halving and money supply, the 10 minute block times, etc.

Addresses may change, new scripts may get added, but the core rules will never change no matter what. There is not enough money at this point (and for maybe awhile now) to try and change it. CZ once mentioned a roll back, and we know that can not be done either. A re-org maybe, but not a roll back to more than a few hours ago.

If you're set for life like Bob or some others, looking into your corns once a year and keeping updated about all the new stuff that's happening may be all you need to do. It's like an annual rebalancing of your portfolio.

That is even simpler than checkers...

Bitcoin does not care any more about our cypherpunk ideals or dreams of citadels, than it does Peter Schiff's hatred of it, or Michael Saylor's mainstream coddling. 

Every kind of person can use it.  And everyone that stands in it's way will be destroyed.

What's up with Coinbase ...again?

The two views are about totally different things: the first is about the potential of Bitcoin as a currency; the second about their view of Microstrategy and their business.  Even if they believe consistently that Bitcoin will increase in value in the medium term (12 months say) they may also believe that Microstrategy are diverting funds in the short term (ie now) at the cost of investing elsewhere and that may have an adversely impact on their business.

I should say I don’t know specifically what the rationale underpinning their views actually is I am simply showing how I think it possible for an organisation to hold both views and still be consistent.  I’d also say that in any case I think your expectation of absolute consistency across such an organisation is probably unrealistic, but not because of any carefully thought through malice and simply because they are so large with such differing business drivers across different divisions that they have naturally different views.

Citigroup has 204,000 employees.  Not really surprising that different parts of the business have differing views on related topics - the $300k bitcoin proposition came from their FX business (so looking at it from a currency perspective and was almost certainly being deliberately provocative); the assessment of Micro Strategy is from Equity research (looking at the future for the Micro Strategy business).  Expecting everyone at Citi to have exactly the same perspective is like expecting bitcointalk to only have one view on bitcoin ...

Even setting aside the size of the organisation and the different business views, one can be both positive about an asset AND believe someone is over-exposed to that asset at the same time.

I have been contacted by a representative of the Galactic Federation and can confirm they will be buying our Bitcoin when the time is right.

Eshed insists that Trump is aware of them, and that he was "on the verge" of disclosing their existence. However, the Galactic Federation reportedly stopped him from doing so, saying they wished to prevent mass hysteria since they felt humanity needed to "evolve and reach a stage where we will... understand what space and spaceships are," Yediot Aharonot reported.
