Ehi!
Something fishy going out with the BTC search term!


https://www.trustnodes.com/2019/09/02/google-searches-for-btc-suddenly-spike-to-huge-all-time-high





I think someone already clarified that it was related to BTC, a primary telecommunications provider for the Bahamas and the recent hurricane, Dorian.

Edit: Got it. It was vroom.

Quote from: vroom on September 06, 2019, 07:53:53 PM
I have an update on the google trends search spike. It's noticeable that only the search term BTC is spiking but not bitcoin. The region with the most searches is Bahamas, a victim of the hurricane Dorian. BTC stands for Bahamas Telecommunications Company. mystery solved I think.

Could have private keys engraved into the back or something. I don’t click on links posted in this forum though.

If that's the case, then it's complete shit and doesn't make any sense. Because if you lose it, then you lose your gold and your bitcoin.

Or maybe it serves as a collectible.

Man, you need to catch up lot.

Homo = Gay

Homo short for Homosexual means "sexually attracted to people of one's own sex."

#nohomo usage in WO might have a history which I don't know. Maybe someone else can help.

i can see why the "blockchain-not-bitcoin" idiots went wrong. there is only one blockchain that has a valid use case and that is an invention: bitcoin.

to see an entire high-tech nation, and not a marginal one, to fall for this stupidity is hard to believe. the only explanation i have ( and i am no expert in this field) is that TRUST is such a big issue for china, since there is this culture of cheating and now they hope that "blockchain" will somehow make it easier for them to trust companies (for example).

i dont see "blockchain" working. it is out for a decade now, where are the applications? other than money/bitcoin?

if they really go all-in to "blockchain" with their entire economy it will end as a catastrophic failure like the Great Leap Forward.

That's because if they abruptly approve of bitcoin, other idiotic nations will call China, the funding nation for criminals. I think it's good they have reversed their earlier stance and have recognised blockchain. Once everyone gets involved into blockchain, it's only a matter of time they recognise Bitcoin.

Bitcoin already is a gateway to many other cryptocurrencies.
In the long run the statecoins (centralized) and BTC, maybe a few other coins that make sense will survive.
So why don't you like it?

I'd be more comfortable holding a BTC stash and "using" it partially for exchange into other CC i can actually use.
This doesn't mean BTC can't be used, but it would give me better control about exchange fees.

We already have fiat currencies, I am not looking for a centralised stable coin for each country which is going to do the same job of the fiat currencies. If you are saying about ease of transfer, fiat currencies can be transacted through online payment gateways and it can also done as cash for the unbanked, which is not possible with the stable coin. So what's the point in creating a stable coin for a country? And I don't think they'll make any difference. If it was a global stable coin, at least we could could cut the cross border exchange fees.
In my opinion, a global stable coin like Libra better than fiat which is better than a localised stable coin. All these are in now way to be compared to Bitcoin which is in a separate league.

I don't necessarily follow your assumptions there. China doesn't have to recognize BTC ever (though I think they eventually will). They can establish their own mandatory digital currency with a state centralized blockchain and any Chinese citizen who uses something else they'll charge with "provoking trouble".

The activist, Huang Xueqin, was detained last week in the southern city of Guangzhou, according to friends who asked not to be identified by name. The authorities accused Ms. Huang, 31, of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vague accusation that the government often uses to silence activists who challenge the status quo.

I am not saying that China will definitely recognise Bitcoin. But there is a possibility right ? That's what I'm happy about.

Edit: Check LuckMcFly's post on Chinese bank investing on bitcoin wallet - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg52907277#msg52907277

So, I guess the Chinese government might recognize Bitcoin sometime in the future. So does the other governments.

Apparently all McDonalds in India serves halal burgers, and indians don't like that so they are boycotting McD, at least according to a Swedish newspaper.

"All our restaurants have HALAL certificates. You can ask the respective restaurant Managers to show you the certificate for your satisfaction and confirmation. (2/2)


ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
@HasdaaPunjab
Go To Hell, then. We Hindus only have JHATKA MEAT, Will educate others as well to not have any Non Veg Food From your chain. If you not want to end up like ZOMATO, ensure that JHATKA MEAT is served. Else, embrace for Financial Loss. https://twitter.com/mcdonaldsindia/status/1164584030647377920?s=19 …"

Now, my question to you Indians here is: what the hell is ZOMATO and JHATKA MEAT?

https://twitter.com/HasdaaPunjab/status/1164746604831600641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1164746604831600641&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsamnytt.se%2Fboycottmcdonalds-trendade-efter-kungorande-vi-serverar-endast-halalkott%2F

EDIT: link



Biodom is correct.

Zomato is an Indian restaurant agreggator and food delivery service. In recent times, many restaurants stopped serving Zomato orders as a protest against the huge discounts they were offering. It's rival Swiggy, now takes more orders now.

Halal way of killing the animal is by cutting the artery and windpipe. In this process, most of the blood are let out of the body. But the animal wriggles after the slaughter. This is how Muslims and Christians kill the animals in my area.
Jhatka way is killing the animal with a single blow to the head. The animal falls down with a thud after the slaughter.

Muslims claim halal is the best approach, Hindus claim jhatka is the best approach. Veggies claim both approach are bad  Tongue

Yeah so true. As long Andreas M. Antonopoulos is not facing any similar issues, I am ok with the banning of shitcoin Shiller channels. But that's not going to stop them, they'll be moving to D.tube

This makes perfect sense. Shillers not disclosing the compensation they received for promoting Shitcoins.

I'm guessing the YouTube crypto crackdown has to do with potential violations of Securities Act § 17(b), the "anti-touting" provision, which requires promoters of securities to disclose any compensation they received for their promotion. I'm surprised it took this long, honestly.

I’ve been hearing the most crazy things like it’s not YouTube censoring them, but coordinated attacks etc Roll Eyes
So many BS these days, but guys like Ivan on Tech for example why would he be censored?? He doesn’t do anything wrong imo....

So finally, the dinner with Warren Buffet is over and looks like Justin Sun had gifted him a Bitcoin and some of his Trash. I bet he knew that Buffet wouldn't accept his Trash without the Rat Poison.

I must admit that I am surprised that Justin Sun survived this enthusiasm with Buffett (you missed one t), considering what his twitter looks like after this historic encounter. Now Buffett is the owner of TRX and BTC, does this mean that he will now start talking positively about BTC?
Buffet did sell his Newspaper holdings recently, which he was so proud of and had high hopes for years. He had accepted that this is an Internet Era. Maybe he'll realise the potential of Bitcoin, if we give him some time.
Now that he owns some, he might learn something about Bitcoin and will change his mind when he realises the true potential.

Quote from: Lucius on February 06, 2020, 03:14:01 PM
It's amazing that he gives Justin advice on how to move on with TRX, he probably told him to sell everything he had and buy some stocks Roll Eyes

That actually would be a great advice  Cheesy

Looks like everybody here who properly invested in bitcoin before 2017 have around at least 50 and possibly closer to 100 btc while other late people who started to accumulate after 2017 have something between 5 and 15.

Makes sense since btc is now at x10 of the 2014's ATH.

Being early pays.

*pussies who stare at their monitors but never buy will never get close to these levels

If the latecomers play their cards right they'll have an opportunity to increase their btc stash by %200 - %500. All it takes is shorting the parabolic at the right time.

Wow.. I started investing in BTC on Oct 2017 and have been investing whatever I can on Bitcoin and am still struggling around 0.2 BTC.  This makes me wonder, how you calculated that if someone started accumulating BTC after 2017 they’ll be having something around 5-15 BTC. Maybe you are talking about the rich guys who are able to invest over 700$ every month 3 yrs back. Sadly, I don’t even earn 700$ a month Sad

I doubt that very many long term bitcoiners really agree with any of the pushes to make cash illegal.. or to discourage the use of cash.
Why not? We already have Petro, the Chinese almost ready to launch digital Yuan, the Japanese are brainstorming whether to have a digital yen and other Governments might also follow. Almost everything has gone digital now  Grin

HOW MUCH BITCOIN YOU NEED TO BE IN THE RICHEST 1% OF BTC HOLDERS

Quote
According to the BlockWorks Group analyst, you only need 0.28 BTC to be in the top 1% richest of the world (in BTC terms).

No more than 5-10 million people will ever own a full Bitcoin

This naturally implies an unfair uneven distribution of the wealth as “whales, hodlers, nations and institutions” hold the lion’s share.

  Bitcoin is distributed perfectly fairly based on the time, effort and passion each person put into acquiring and holding their share.  The only natural implication here is that most people ignored Bitcoin until it was too late for them to afford their "fair" share.  Do people get paid to write this tripe?


Updated OP.
I believe that you got carried away by the word "unfair". Now I have fixed it for you.

Almost everything in the world is unevenly distributed and someone will always complain that something is unfair.

The point is not about the distribution, it is about the minimum requirement of Bitcoin to be among the 1% BTC rich. The reason I shared the article is that I'm very happy that I'm close to hodling 0.28BTC and will be one of the 1% BTC rich peeps by this year or the next if Bitcoin doesn't rise parabolically. It was a 2+ year-long journey for me.

PS: Not sure if "carried away" is the apt word, but I tried. English is not my first language.

Man loses $60M in Bitcoin when landlord cleaned the house and sent everything to the dump by mistake

Quote
Clifton Collins, a former security guard and a beekeeper turned weed grower/dealer, lost $60 million when his landlord cleaned out the house he’d been renting and sent everything to the dump — including Collin’s fishing rod case that hid his Bitcoin codes. Without the codes, the accounts can’t be accessed.

He had both BTCitcoin and Drugs. All wasted now Lips sealed
Lesson learned: Own a f**king room atleast when you have shit load of money and keep your codes safely.

is anybody so kind and explain or send me the link to the DCA strategy please?

BTW, we should start something where the WO terms are explained to Newbies like me. Roll Eyes

 Dollar cost averaging is simply deciding how much you want to invest and then dividing it into regular contributions over a given period of time.

ie I want to invest $8000 this year into Tesla so I will make biweekly contributions of $307.69.  

 This method is supposed to lower your risk with respect to volatility but imagine doing that with a stock that continues to lose value over time - you're giving away your money.
I think the DCA strategy only works when markets are in an uptrend... but I'm no expert.
 
edit: JJG?

DCA strategy works in long term. DCA is all about avoiding your market entry timing. It doesn't have anything to do with uptrend or downtrend. If you believe that a project will excel over long term, instead of timing the market you could go for DCA. If you use DCA and still end up in loss long term that just means that your investment choice is poor.
Hope I'm not wrong.

1000 BTC came into this wallet from 9-10 yr old wallets.
Might be the reason for the dump.
