Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Last of the V8s]

Had a lovely talk with a chap in a supermarket who said his doctor had told him to go keto. Is there any scientific research on the keto diet?



He said this was for his week's food, not yet finished, but he gets his steaks from a proper butcher.

[Globb0]

Not sure about the macaroni though.

Keto is good,

Screw Columbus, the vikings "discovered" America long before him.

@LS I do drink a lot of water on daily base, maybe that’s why I never have a hang over .... could be...

Ahh... your wording had me thinking you never woke up without a hangover. My mistake. Enjoy that while it lasts.

Segwit airdrop

I realize that you're simply here to be a trolling fool, but are you really dumb enough to think that Segwit was a hard fork? An "airdrop" refers to getting something for free, which was what BCH and BSV were. Tell me, what did BTC holders get for free during the "Segwit airdrop"?

Any off - forkings are air drops - Relevance: tax & legal - visit ur Consultant...

Hard forks, you moldy sponge.

The new revenue ruling addresses common questions by taxpayers and tax practitioners regarding the tax treatment of a cryptocurrency hard fork.

Fork is fork

...

Celebrating some dude who supposedly "discovered" America while looking for India then landing in the Bahamas.
And I get paid time off for it.
Not only that, I also actually get paid time off for celebrating some fairy tale about a dude who died and came back to life, and a giant bunny lays colored eggs for kids to hunt.
Not complaining, mind you.
Strange world we live in.

Casa Crypto-Custody Startup Calls Lightning Network ‘Early and Reckless’

Some clients are concerned about the nodes that connect to the HTTP protocol and not HTPPS, although Casa replied that it is not accidental they chose HTTP because it is a domestic connection and does not create a sense of insecurity, while HTPPS is impractical and dangerous.

Back in 2004, I was on some sort of cyclical keto diet for an entire year.  It was good and it worked. There's lots of research on this and several of the more popular diets are variations of keto in the sense they are all low carb diets (atkins, south beach, paleo).

This is such a benign, softball change that I really don't understand why people are genuinely upset over the issue.

It's like when Star Trek changed "where no man has gone before" to "no one has gone before". I get it. They want to be more inclusive.

Pick your battles I guess, but this one just seems like it's not worth an eyeroll, even.

It is, a bit. If a man turns into a woman, doesn't (s)he want to be a lady?

Or mby I don't get it.

But yeah, pseudo.

Boom. Big step for lightning. Never saw that coming, but it sounds like a fantastic idea.

Perhaps blockchain.com will follow in their steps, and other wallets where the blockchain is maintained by a 3rd party (Exodus for example).

In other development-related news, I wonder why there's been little to no talk of the Schnorr + Taproot soft fork that may be implemented in 2020. I wondered into the Development & Technical Discussion section and didn't see anything about it.

Sounds like this could go a long way in terms of increasing fungibility/anonymity and lowering fees.
