With #SamouraiWallet and now #PhoenixWallet going down plus #Metamask being sued by the #SEC all in the same week, it’s clear that Operation Choke-Point 2.0 is in full force, targeting #privacy tech and self-custody of #crypto. The compromise the government is willing to make: - Buy #Bitcoin ETF if you want exposure to #BTC price - Buy #MicroStrategy if you want exposure to leverage BTC Acceptable?
Of course #Saylor didn’t comment on the #Samourai case. This is not surprising considering that he has been vocal against one’s right to own private #Bitcoin. #Privacy #BTC
Crazy… I’m afraid that people who were mixing some bitcoins in a whirlpool won’t see their funds back since #SamouraiWallet appears to have stopped functioning or is it not how it works? #Bitcoin #BTC #Privacy
If #Bitcoin is digital property then #Runes are graffitis. Some people appreciate them but most despise them. They have little to no value but cannot be stopped.
If you don’t understand yet the significance of Bittensor, please consider the following: #Bitcoin is to the digital world what gold is to the physical world. It stores value. #Ethereum is to the digital world what oil is to the physical world. It transforms value. #Bittensor is to the digital world what human capital is to the physical world. It creates value. #BTC #ETH #TAO #AI
I wish I could say that #MichaelSaylor is wrong when he says that #Bitcoin is not a currency but rather the best property one can own (not that I don’t want #BTC to be the best investment) but the facts rule in his favor. What are the odds for Bitcoin to be adopted as a global currency in the next decade? I would say not very high. Bitcoin is likely to be adopted as a global reserve asset though.
I always enjoy Deadalnix interviews. This one was a good opportunity to refresh my memory regarding the block size war. One of the most misunderstood fact from this period is that the big blockers were quite divided. This led to constant infighting within the #BitcoinCash community resulting in two additional forks: #BitcoinSV by #Faketoshi and #eCash by Deadalnix. Thanks @npub12qz5...pdx8 for this great interview and for giving an opportunity to the new Bitcoiners to catch up on one of the most important and dramatic event in #Bitcoin history. #BTC https://www.youtube.com/live/W780NnSOCko
The current discussions about future regulations for the #crypto industry in the US can be scary but there is still a possibility that the US make a 180 as we have a candidate with fair odds of wining that has very pro-crypto policies. Two key policies of #RFK are: - Making the US a hub for crypto innovation - Treating crypto like a currency for small transactions (no tax) This is refreshing in comparison to the current discussions about wanted to put devs in jails and taxing unrealized Bitcoin gains. #Kennedy24 https://www.youtube.com/live/8mpBYmslhOk?t=27928
I have not seen any commentary on the #FloodXMR attack although the conclusions of the paper highlight massive #privacy implications for #Monero #XMR. “Assuming an attack timeframe of 12 months, our findings show that an attacker can trace up to 47.63% of the transaction inputs at a cost of just 1,746.53 USD. Moreover, we show also that more than 90% of the inputs are affected by our tracing algorithm.” View quoted note →
I love this #Monero crash. Have you guys gotten your cheap #XMR?
Proposed #DeFi regulations in a nutshell: 1) Identify who’s the most responsible for the project 2) Blackmail the heck out of him/her/them 3) Broadcast his/her/their punishment in the media so everybody else is scared to engage with DeFi #crypto #blockchain #web3
How would you describe #web3? For me, web1 was the “knowledge web”, web2 is the “social web” and web3 will be the “sovereign web”. #DeFi #Crypto
