Is the regulation good? Because I don't agree, BTC was made to not pay anything to governments, banks or something similar, because it is not fiat money, having BTC is to manage our money as we want, not to declare to governments or banks.

Satoshi idea about Bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash transfer without any middlemen. Regulations just kill the original idea proposed by Satoshi.
If government is given the liberty to regulate Bitcoin then whats the benefit of creating Bitcoin? There is no way government can control decentralized Bitcoin but the one residing on centralized exchanges.

Bitcoin is a free digital currency because the currency is created independently of birth so if the government controls it, it will be subject to it like any other currency and since free currency is controlled by the government Whatever centralization or control you do, this currency will lose its digital concept set.If the above mentioned point is correct then the currency will be killed directly then this currency will not be needed in the world.No one can enjoy smart currency alone. Smart currency is independent. No one can control anyone. This is the characteristic of smart currency The US is controlling the state, so the dollar is presented as not a digital currency but a tool of exploitation Cryptocurrency is a smart currency created by the founders because no one can control it. It is everyone's currency. It is free and independent So government regulation of this currency would be considered a good plan to make the currency disappear from the world.Governments never follow the decentralization principle in the case of currency because the government cannot control this currency, or it will fail if it tries to because it allows people to transact freely with this currency which is not possible with other currencies I agree with your stated opinion, so I expressed my opinion.

I am surprised, though, that nobody "knew", apparently.
This is strange.

It would take Hamas months and months, if not a year, to plan such a coordinated attack operation. Months and months of soldiers, supplies and artillery moving around. Millions in funding on the move. Months of planning and coordinated communications.

And Mossad didn't have a clue?

And U.S. and Foreign Intel didn't have a clue?

Really? Who's buying this?

Pretty much like they "didn't know" about the incoming attack on Pearl Harbor and the same way they didn't know about incoming jets on 9.11 and had no air defense because NORAD conveniently started exercise that morning.

The things allow to go public are usually the things they want to go public.

Regulation is inevitable. As long as the state exists, it will strive to take control of everything it can. In all other cases of regulation, is what the state regulates and what it collects taxes from done by the state? Obviously, in many cases this is not the case.

You are right that Satoshi has created a beautiful thing that does not depend on states or banks because it is decentralized. And the state has no control over the blockchain. But as soon as you spend your bitcoins on something, as soon as you exchange them for fiat money, you enter into a state-controlled space, and in this space the state regulates. Stay in Bitcoin and you can ignore the government for this part.

So I don't know how you guys managed to do this by simply starting up the marriage conversation a few days ago but yesterday we were surprised by one of my nieces showing up with her boyfriend and a really nice diamond ring to let us know that they had gotten engaged.

Actually it's simple, you just need to ask someone to marry you, if it's not suitable you can get a divorce. Talking too much makes it more difficult for that to happen

I’m a bit surprised that with the new war popping up suddenly Bitcoin continues to maintain its price. I guess we’ll have to see how international markets perform tomorrow morning, but I imagine there aren’t too many people who think war is good news, except Lockheed Martin and maybe a few others. I’m watching and trying to learn…

Uptober is here
Another round of Covid
Yin-Yang, life goes on

EDIT:
no worries, it's uncomfortable but mild. My wife got it first, way more severe, with headaches, fever and brainfog, but she's out of the deep waters already.
I'm quite pumped with enzymes and amino acids, that's probably why.

* No paywall was there for me, don't know if it would be there for others.

Boomers accumulated gigantic amounts of wealth ($77 tril in US alone) and they are spending it:

This has made the elderly a spending force to be reckoned with. Americans age 65 and up accounted for 22% of spending last year, the highest share since records began in 1972 and up from 15% in 2010, according to the Labor Department’s survey of consumer expenditures released in September.

What's up WO folks.

I haven't frequent this corner of the internet for quite some time. The spamming of ChartBuddy sure doesn't help. He need to shut up...

I fricking did it though, amboss.space rank my lightning node as #1



The node has a total capacity of ~17 BTC, and is routing on average 0.5 BTC per day. Happy routing!

What kind of earning do you get with that size?

And how much of your coin stays in the pot?

I am curious 👀 because I want to get an ides how easy it will be for bitcoin to scale rewards down the road.

The earnings are ridiculously low, considering the btc I stake.

I did try to maximize my earnings for a while. By that, I provided liquidity to the LOOP channel, which provides a lightning/on-chain swap service at a very favorable fee for the node who open to them.

In order to do that, I constantly have to open a channel with LOOP, since they close the channel once it's drained on their side. This activity would quickly make me run out of inbound liquidity unless I can get lightning to on-chain btc at a cheaper price than LOOP. For that I used Nicehash and Kraken. The increased activity with Kraken got me audited though. They questioned me about the source of funds, even though I've been a customer of theirs for close to a decade.

During this time, my earnings was close to 300k sats ($80) per month. Now, after I've stopped this aggressive channel opening with LOOP, it's closer to 100k sats ($27) per month. 6-8 months more at this rate and my hardware investment will pay off.

My node is fairly balanced, so out of the 17 BTC capacity it has, 8 BTC or so is provided by me. So, like I said, the earnings are ridiculously low. It's self-hosted though. I don't need to trust my funds with any 3rd part.
