If they won't unbank Coinbase and Binance, Bitcoin will be fine. If they do, the price will instantly plummet, adoption will either slow down significantly or turn negative. But it seems like the chance of them doing the latter are very low, since this is a very unofficial rumored crackdown on smaller businesses rather than a total ban on crypto.
They should. It will help decentralized exchanges |

Although I am not married yet  but I will definitely guide my children about cryptocurrency like bitcoin, I will guide them how it work, what is the basic of Bitcoin and too much more. because with time to time due to inflation every fait is devaluation every month and every year even dollar and Euro too , so the best choose to use Bitcoin instead of fait in order to safe himself from devaluation our assets. but what if you kid a buttcoiner or a no coiner? You cant guarantee your kid is going to be as smart as you, |

Indian government (maybe other also) say that " to ban cryptocurrency we need global help" my question is : can bitcoin be banned if all government will agree to ban bitcoin
i am something less experience and has bad english so ignore
You have to understand something about the Indian Government. The Government sees Indians as some thing to beat upon and squeeze wealth from. Sort of like a Master /Slave relationship. This mentality cannot be propagated into many forward thinking nations. So yes Indians are fucked but this plan to globally stop Bitcoin is an idiots dream just like Indians ruling class are a bunch of idiots. |

Hi I downloaded 4.3.2 but I do not see anywhere the support for LNURL.
What am I missing? Any plugins I need?
I saw your replies in " Electrum 4.3.0 Releases" thread ( link to the 1st reply), and it seems you've already found out how to send using LNURL but you're still looking where to put or load " LN URL withdrawl"? If so, in the 'Release Notes', it stated that it only added support for LNURL-pay (LUD-06), not LNURL-withdraw (LUD-03). Got it. Thanks a lot. I skipped that part. Thank for knocking it into me. :-) |

Thanks.

Where do I put a LNURL-withdraw URL on the electrum wallet?
I am on linux

Sorry, but where is this link "clicking on LNURL-pay" I dont see it in the UI.
You won't find the link in the Electrum UI, the link I was referring to is displayed on the playground site that I provided a link to: https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/That site produces a variety of LNURL links, one of them is labeled "LNURL-pay." It's just a way to test if the links can be used with your wallet. OK, I get that part. but where do I use it in the electrum desktop wallet? |

* In addition, the following new features are worth noting:
- support for LNURL-pay (LUD-06) (#7839)
Hi I downloaded 4.3.2 but I do not see anywhere the support for LNURL. What am I missing please? I'm still running 4.3.1, but it seems to be working fine for me. Are you sure you're entering the correct url? I haven't used LNURL-pay myself, but here's a link to a "playground": https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/Once Electrum is up and running, clicking on LNURL-pay link populates the data in the Send tab in Electrum. Then I just need to click on "Get Invoice" button and it loads the transaction and prepares it for signing. Sorry, but where is this link "clicking on LNURL-pay" I dont see it in the UI. |

satoshi has no control of the bitcoin network. there is no backdoor that he has access to. so a government cant do anything about it if he was found. there is no threat or harm
satoshi is not hiding due to any threat of government grabbing him. he just didnt want to be seen/treated as a central reference point back in 2010 because some people were blindly following him, which went against the point of bitcoin
in recent years however, there are 3 people that do have the github control of the main reference client software upgrades, which pretty much everyone blindly follows.., they are publicly known people and yet governments are not chasing them. so this proves that the government are not bothered about gaining control of things like bitcoin core
if the government wanted to grab someone that does have some form of control. it would be those that have the github access to implement new release candidates of bitcoin core. however governments can simply make a court order to hand to github itself to gain access to github. and again this has not happened, thus no real threat.
I agree partially with what you have to say. If Github is compromised like that. They will just fork the code and new chain will continue. How many bitcoiners/miners want to be part of the Government Bitcoin chain? |

One of the reason for high trust on bitcoin is that the bitcoin owner Satoshi identity is hidden. If all of sudden Satoshi come in the public and his identity is revealed, do you think it will have a bad impact on the bitcoin price and it can dump? Or do you think that bitcoin price will pump on this revelation? Mind you that i am talking about the real satoshi, not the fake ones claiming themselves to be satoshi.
Satoshi gave the code away to public. He is not controlling the code base or it is not closed source. What difference would it make if he shows up to a party? PS: What if he is actually a Washington insider a closet politician / coder? |

Hi everyone I was wondering if the overall Russian-Ukraine situation in Bitcoin is now pretty low, will it soar if the whole war is resolved again? What is your opinion? Thank you.
Anytime is a good time to move your money into Bitcoin... notice I said move NOT "invest" |

Isn't speculation and volatility a problem for Bitcoin?
yes, a long as majority of people and businesses are willing to believe and accept central bank backed fiat currrencies for their good and services it will be. The tide has to turn into the same people accepting Bitcoin for their goods and services. |

They will progress far ahead of India.
India trying to ban Bitcoin will look like fools soon under the current BJP rule.

she does say that the developers need to realize that they have fiduciary responsibilities in that they must be acting for the greater good of those who use their code to create and use crypto coins.
To me that is a very valid point and in my opinion the devs behind Bitcoin Core do that.
Isn't this in itself a weak link? Is Bitcoin at the mercy of devs? Then what is the difference between a bunch of devs colluding vs a bunch of bankers colluding? Isn't consensus between all devs/miners/node that keep it honest? In my opinion committers more than devs/miners have to go anonymous. |

How can they go after developers and code committers if they are anonymous, if they are using Tor, and if nobody can find their real location?
Not all developers are but Code committers are listed and traceable at present. Sure they can always ban their accounts, but they are not doing anything illegal,
Your definition of legal may be different from the Bankers/Governments and trust me it is an entity that does not care about the regular Joe. |

I'm currently receiving some of my income in BTC, and I'm just holding it because I expect it will go up long term and so it is my savings.
But sometimes I'd like to be able to turn it into fiat for daily expenses. I can't yet pay my rent or buy my groceries with BTC (hopefully one day! but not today and not in the near future).
With banks in some countries blocking transactions from known exchanges is there a worry that one day it will become impractical to turn the BTC into fiat? Either just very hard to do, maybe street-corner-deals or at risk of getting your bank accounts frozen?
Do people think about this and have plans to work around these kinds of banking barriers? Or are there ways around it already but I'm not aware?
Just like Microstrategy figured out when other companies figure out they are receiving toilet paper for valued goods and services. They will demand Bitcoin. People will be forced to used BTC to buy fuel, oil, wheat, sugar, electricity, chicken, bananas and ice cream. |

With the revelation of Pegasus does that mean phone wallets can be compromised so easily?
Not blaming BTC but the security of android as a host system, is so weak?
I know people only carry chump change in them..but in 3rd worlds nations such a El Salvador .. isn't the whole circular economy project based on phone wallets.

Note to those of you who struggle with reading comprehension: I'm asking how HAVE you done this. Not how DO/CAN you do it. Stick to your personal experience, we're not giving advice, we're telling stories  I like giving out OpenDime bearer instruments like pic related:  My technical friends love it, I tell them the funds are theirs if they can move the sats from the stick to their phone, although some of them prefer to keep it on the USB because it gives off a cyberpunk vibe. I've also brought friends to bitcoin ATMs around my city to show them how easy it is to exchange fiat for BTC, they tend to like that too because it attracts attention to the fact that we're doing something that might seem technically challenging and unusual. Looking forward to reading about what you guys have done I have tried and trying to educate them on FIAT currencies from central banks to show how they are gradually impoverished trough out their lives by saving in fiat. If you do not understand fiat first you will never understand Bitcoin. You will be a man child Like Musk. I also have a true to life story of my very own Dad who worked himself to death, so hard all his life and saved all his money in fiat. Forty five years later he could not even afford to build himself a home and have a place live in. Yes we were driven out of employer housing when he retired and were about to be to the streets. I had a small job so we used that to rent a hole to stay in. I had to support and help build a house for him to live in. He lived in it for about a year and half and passed away listening to music. It broke my heart that I could not provide more for him during his last days. He did all he could for me and the fiat of the central banks fucked him over. It always bothered me as to how that happened and where the calculation went wrong. He did every thing right by the book. He worked hard , paid his taxes and saved as much as he could. After I learnt about Bitcoin then it occurred to me where the problem was. The fiat depreciation over that period of time evaporated all his purchasing power. All he could afford then was a small little plot of land but no more money to build a home on it. The is how..... my friends, are the wonderful ways fiat and central banks protect your money.... as Senator warren puts it to today. |
