BAKKT is a necessity for the criminal syndicate of big money to control the price of bitcoin... They think they can use rehypothecated bitcoin collateral like they do with physical gold. They can't!

Well, they can't. Unless society as a whole lets them. Which is why education is so important.

Well, not BAKKT specifically, as it is physically-settled. At least as long as the customers don't simply roll their take. But most other 'tools' at of the pinstriped bandits do serve this 'need'.

Do you think the average man-on-the-street has internalized 'not your keys, not your bitcoin'? Hell, our little insular bitcoin community doesn't even practice that, at least not enough to deter partial reserve bitcoin. Tether, anyone?

[jbreher]

To be completely transparent, I'm liquidating however many BTC will be needed for me to buy a nicely specced-out Mac Pro when the new ones are released (any day now)

I'll be waiting until my SW runs on Catalina.

That's new and sounds promising..

How Bitcoin’s Lightning Can Be Used for Private Messaging

It's almost as if people don't realize that Bitcoin has been capable of private messaging since genesis.

So many things haven t been understood and / or crippled to death or anonymity.

Sigh

Now invent new wheels again?

[jbreher]

I mean how can BSV be worth $2.5 billion with around 25 users globally and zero hash rate security.

How? Why? Because your assumptions are ludicrously off the mark.

[jbreher]

Seems like
@Bakkt
 is on pace to break $20m in daily volume soon as they consistently notch above $10m now.

It's not too hard to figure out. BAKKT customers need not be Bitcoiners. Look at the last day. You could sell a future contract for 9500 or so, by the chart. Well, you could buy BTC at that day's price (as low as 8775), and sell a contract, your assets and liabilities balance, you pocket money. A fair amount. With the only downside being the counterparty risk of the parent company of the mudderfukkin' New York Stock Exchange.

It's a pretty simple calculus. The only miracle is that the volume isn't higher.

I remember how people were making fun of ltc as 5$ coin.

Yeah, I remember when it was a 3 bucks forever and dropped to like a buck and a half and chinese were sucking it all up and I was like "theres to many of those shitcoins to grab any" So I didn't grab any.
Man was i brilliant at that time.

Give it time to play out.

Nothing magical,
It’s called cash and carry.

You can lock in more if you sell back months future.

Federal Court Rules Suspicionless Searches of Travelers’ Phones and Laptops Unconstitutional
Government Must Have Reasonable Suspicion of Digital Contraband Before Searching People’s Electronic Devices at the U.S. Border

huh
edit:
'you were in the area'
'you are travelling'
'you have a "device"'
therefore suspicion, but still?

edit

As faulty as "democracy" might be, this is one of the examples of when it works.

More like a nod to 'rule of law' for a change.

Current Fiat system uses more energy than (insert continent here) and mostly serves criminals, I don't see the point other than he has his values backwards.

Thanks, now i know how to tell the time in italy, too

I present to you the eChair: http://carltatzdesign.com/press-releases/pr-1115-carl-tatz-has-your-back.html

Is it the best chair available? I dunno. But after living with it for a while, it is certainly better for me than (e.g.) an Aeron.

If you want a mesh chair, the Staples Hyken is $159 and pretty similar to all those $1000+  mesh chairs.  It's what I would recommend to people who want one of those $1500 Herman Miller chairs but don't want to pay $1500.  But the mesh chairs aren't going to be as comfortable as finding a well-designed memory foam chair (if they even exist).

https://www.staples.com/staples-hyken-technical-mesh-task-chair-silver-53293/product_24328579

I personally don't like mesh seat chairs, but that  $159 Staples Hyken is more comfortable than this $400 "WorkPro Quantum 9000" mesh chair for instance:
