Good morning Bitcoinland. Sideways keeps going on... currently $9133USD/$12387CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Oh well. Nothing to do except laugh at Covid deniers and moron politicians. National security secrets on Twitter? Haha, I don't think so.
Could have started a few international incidents tho.
Imagine some Presidents and PMs throwing insults, even declaring a war or two.
Trump's Tik Tok account?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

{snip} It's not promising that the majority of mining is done in an evil, totalitarian shithole.
... a bare majority apparently We have found that China contributes 50% of the Bitcoin mining power consumption and network Hashrate. https://medium.com/@BitOoda/bitcoin-mining-hashrate-and-power-analysis-bitooda-research-ebc25f5650bfaccording to this new report on mining. They find that that other great shithole accounts for 14% while the US follows with about 14% ... not bad for a collapsing bloodbath of a place.

3 years ago: crashed to $1830.
Statements like these make me really want a time machine. I think I got some at 3k back then (I was super illiquid). It's happening? One last down before UP? We've had a lot of these last downs, they're starting to wear me out. Are here going to be getting yet another visit from Vegeta again? I am pretty sick and tired of him at this point. Still, some movement, even down, has got to be better than this long sideways action. Fingers crossed that the big move up is imminent. Got a retirement to be looking forward to soon. Go Honey Badger Go.

Joining in tonight though it`s not haiku sunday it's haiku thursday Haiku Thursdays, eh? Better than Vegeta memes At the very least. It's our final day Of 14 day quarantine. Think I'll have a beer. No sense worrying About Bitcoin's dollar price. Time is on our side. It will be the same. One bitcoin's worth one bitcoin. Hold and be happy. Guinness Extra Stout! It surely is delicious And it works well too.

FWIW, what I think jbreher is saying, is that BTC and BSV can both potentially be equally decentralized. In other words, the algorithms themselves allow for the same amount of decentralization.
However, BTC is currently far more popular/dominant than BSV, and this currently gives it a higher amount of decentralization. But this is not due to the algorithm itself, but due to popularity/dominance, which could potentially change in the future.
Well, I don't believe it will, for several reasons which have been discussed many times here in WO, but that's essentially what jbreher is saying.
The changes BSV makes to the protocol will inevitably centralize the protocol, and this is being touted as a feature, not a bug by the leaders. Bitcoin is not and has never been about ‘censorship resistance’. I added the alert key to be able to freeze and reverse transactions, if needed. All that matters in Bitcoin is a public record of any transaction that is reversed. That vision is NOT decentralized. Period. Cause there is nothing such as decentralized There is only open to join mining an compete for incentives, nobody should ever change the rules And with incentives there is responsibility and nothing out of law But meh That's a red herring. That's like saying the kitchen table is never perfectly clean, so I might as well take a huge steaming dump on it. The goal is to move as far in the decentralized direction as possible. Perhaps like "trust minimized" we should say "centralization minimization". But I do not know why I am talking to you. You are just parroting the talking points of your puppet masters. Even Satoshi wrote that bitcoin mining will be controlled by a few massive data centers. If that happens, it's logical to think that these mining operations will be bound by regulations such as all the US FATCA/AML/sanctions bullshit. In other words, mining will be somewhat centralized and subject to a certain amount of government control. I'm not entirely sure that's an inevitability, as BSVers are wont to think. It does seem to be heading into the direction of centralization though. It's not promising that the majority of mining is done in an evil, totalitarian shithole. jbreher covered that angle by distancing himself from Faketoshi, he knows that it's a loosing battle and he can't justify 90% of shit that comes from Faketoshi's mouth. hv_ is just a dumb talking head and will just parrot whatever the template of the day is. jbreher's angle is to lure noobs in by digging up some obscure definitions and extrapolating them to a point of absurdity, then when no one wants to waste time debating him that the world isn\t flat he thinks he wins Sure, there are no true absolutes in this world, but it's not even needed. All we need is to make sure that those data centers are spread (more or less) equally across the globe say Americas, Asia, Europe, and Russia (sort of like UN with a possibility of veto). That way changes would require overwhelming consensus from all parties. Such high quorum level would require a lot of debate and be very difficult to achieve thus it would be reserved to truly exceptional cases, like world agreement to defund ISIS. And not a one party directive like FATCA, but a true "global" overwhelming quorum (not ever 50%+1) as anything less would just fork the chain, and can be akin to declaration of war.

Page count has decreased of at least 20 pages in the last few days.. I am on holiday, I might have missed some important piece of information here... VV thanks @jojo69: Wow, he deleted more than 500 posts already!

Bitcoin is a neutral innovation.
Like the telegraph, steam engine or printing press- it has no intrinsic opinions, preferences or beliefs
The user gives it meaning.
To better explain this concept, I wrote a children's book.

Well apparently Hackers are not as knowledgeable about Blockchain technology, they have left traces. Twitter Hack Autopsy: Coinbase, Binance, BitGo May Know Hackers IDThe hackers appear to be using a proxy as transactions originate from different parts of the world. The Bitcoin addresses generated by hackers come in different formats, some are of the newest Bech32 format, others in the older P2PKH and P2SH formats. If our analysis is correct, then several major crypto entities should be able to identify the hackers.
