New benchmark for the Bitcoin price to take more bullish momentum:

The positive impact may not be immediate in the market, but without a doubt it will begin to help despite Brexit, because it will have a state of equivalence between the United Kingdom and Europe ... This confirms that there will be more investors joining Bitcoin ...

Well, it has limitations, of course, but it is a bit more durable than a sheet of paper.
At the same time it weights less than 100g or a kilo gold bar and...you can load it into a phone and/or exchange wallet quickly.
It might become popular... or not.
NOT sure how they would prevent scamming by a dishonest employee (who has access) if the private key is already pre-printed.

I prefer offtopic talking about precious metals or dirty fiat, but please, take the Bcash talk to another place.

I prefer rocket/train memes and cleavage  

 Mmmm... cleavage

Thats a gash.

 This is a gash

Good Lord.

It's still early days gents.  Or maybe no one will EVER understand what the fuck bitcoin actually is.

This is like a cellphone with a rotary dial.

Except at least a cellphone with a rotary dial would be something you could trust to do what it is made to do.

I wouldn't trust this anywhere but in my trashcan.

Bobby Lee is either Lazy as hell or a scammer.  My SATs are on the latter, sorry.

Oh thanks,
Not 100% cunt then.
Ok, that’s a start...I have room to improve (toward 0%)

Don't take it too hard... Everyone is a bit of a cunt Except the French, they're massive cunts

Well they are blocking Libra, give some credit them.

France and Germany agree to block Facebook's Libra

PARIS (Reuters) - France and Germany have agreed to block Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency, the French finance ministry said on Friday.

In a joint statement, the two governments affirmed that “no private entity can claim monetary power, which is inherent to the sovereignty of nations”.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Thursday that Facebook’s new cryptocurrency should not be allowed to operate in Europe while concerns persist about sovereignty and persistent financial risks.

Right, like that's really a private key underneath that scratcher?  Pretty fucking lazy scam if you ask me.

I would trust such a card after 6 mere confirmations. Basically , it clears after one statistical hour, and it only does once. Good for people with some gentleman time on their hands.

I don't think that they are complete morons.
There must be an explanation that makes it something that can work, at least theoretically.

Upon further check, there is a procedure, not sure how well it would work.
First, passphrase is printed, then covered, then encrypted key unlocked by the passphrase is randomly generated at the second location.
They claim that after wallet's private key (encrypted) is printed on the wallet, the data is destroyed (at their end).

TL;DR they generate the passphrase and an encrypted private key in two different geographic locations, then apply both (together or in sequence?) to the wallet printout/etching.

You can't even prove that somebody else stole the coins. They'll accuse you instead and there is nothing you can do about it. This is perfect for selective scamming. Scam every 10.000th person and nobody will give a fuck about him.

Bank's views on bitcoin:

2010: laughs
2011: laughs
2012: laughs
2013: laughs
2014: laughs
2015: laughs
2016: laughs
2017: laughs
2018: laughs
2019: PBOC, Fed, ECB, BoE, and the IFM announce the support/development/launch of digital currencies.

That escalated quickly.

Banks are the hyenas of the economy, they are hypocrites, scammers and greedy, never trust a banker, even if it's from your family.
Apart from the banks too many people laugh at Bitcoin but very soon they will cry.

The only bankster I trust is myself because I am my own bank.

This is not new and it is not done the way it should be done!

There is a secure cryptographic procedure to turn YOUR Passphrase into an Intermediate Code and give this Code to the manufacturer. This was first offered by Mike Caldwell (Casascius) in 2012 and applied in the last series of his casascius coins.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=129552
https://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/bitcoin-address-utility/

But then, what Bobby Lee is suggesting is NOT the same because HIS Team1 is generating the passphrase for the intermediate code to be used by HIS Team2.

Bitcoin, what is it? Why you should buy NOW!?

If you don't know who this is, he is a pretty famous early adopter. He has many precious metal videos before he knew about bitcoin too. He was literally screaming at everybody to get in when it was pennies. Warned people before the Mt. Gox collapse.

Now he gives the buy signal by simply saying...

BUY

From the video:

Put 0.1% of your wealth in Bitcoin. If I am right, that 0.1% will cover all the losses from your other assets.

Pretty hardcore shit.

Yeah,
Not only CB’s are developing their crypto/digital version  of their own shitcoin (whatever that mean, as today shitcoins weren’t digital enough), but they are actually U-turning from declarations on the Past: I saw a good they, so I am using his words:

They're so scared that are backpedaling on their previous declarations like "central bank digital Euro is not to be expected any time soon" (May 2017)

 France, Germany blast Facebook's Libra, back public cryptocurrency

From the same twitter Thread

July 2014: @EBA_News invited financial institutions not to buy, hold, or sell virtual currencies [sic] that did not develop a reliable governance process. 5 years later: @Libra_ proposes an accountable reliable governance process to regulators and the answer is "you cannot do it"

They are definitely panicking.
