    Trade war with China could be bad for dollar, good for bitcoin

    Posted: 24 Mar 2018 12:53 PM PDT

    https://i.imgur.com/dZzteIn.jpg

    My preliminary analysis indicates that a trade war could work to devalue the dollar. China has been pegging the Yuan as devalued in relation to the USD since 2001 when they joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). This has had the effect of tilting the whole playing table so that goods "roll down hill" more easily to the US and goods really have an uphill battle getting from the US into China.

    Trump is not willing to start off fixing this by devaluing the dollar, so he's using tariffs. But could tariffs have a devaluatory effect on the US Dollar?

    If so, bitcoin stands to gain ground even faster than it is now.

    See here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-06/a-trade-war-road-map-for-fx-markets-take-cover-find-your-niche

    "It's a bit of a double-edged sword," said Tannuzzo at Columbia Threadneedle. "The dollar should ultimately strengthen in the short-term against the currencies affected by the tariffs; in the long-run, it could stay under pressure overall because it has to fund large and growing current-account deficits."

    When currency investors "take cover", it would be great if there was a currency that was immune to all this trade war chaos....

    Oh wait.

    Do you know anyone that has invested in BTC after the ATH?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2018 03:40 PM PDT

    Everyone I mention BTC to say the same: "I heard it crashed" "The peak has been already" "It's a scam" Etc...

    Even my non-geeky acquaintances who have been curious about BTC before, now have lost their curiosity based on their internal reasoning based on the "crash" since the ATH.

    So I'm curious to hear your experience. We need adoption and I wish more people were like us and put a small stake in this that potentially could be tomorrow's competitor to gold.

    When that's said, hedge funds and rich people surely have been taking up a larger part of the space for the last couple of years. But I'm interested in the average joe stories.

    Reddit Drops Bitcoin as Payment Method Due to “Coinbase Change” | Crypto Core Media

    Is there a way we can connect/communicate with our fellow HODLers in Korea, Japan, etc.?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2018 11:00 PM PDT

    I would love to be able to see what fellow HODLers/traders are thinking in Asian countries that have a lot higher trading volume such as Korea, Japan, China, and even India. So far the best I've been able to do is watch Korean YouTube videos about Bitcoin with translation on, which isn't the best. And honestly it feels like we are living in our own little bubble (not financial bubble), not connected to a lot of traders/HODLers that don't use Reddit or do only use their countries respective social media sites. So, is there a way we can bridge the gap between us crypto users in the West with the ones in the East, seeing their perspective into BTC and the markets? Even if its just translated news articles from Asian countries, that's good too. If there are websites that do this already please do let me know.

    How I cracked the Bitcoin keys in Andy Bauch's Lego artwork

    Currencies are just the start for blockchain, we have to remember that. Bitcoin created decentralized trust.

    Merchant cold start with Lightning

    Posted: 24 Mar 2018 09:45 PM PDT

    Suppose I am a merchant, which I am, and want to accept Lightning payments.

    In order to do that I should have active channels with positive amounts on the other side of those channels, as I understand.

    Who will provide this liquidity for me in those channels?

    Options I have:

    • My recurring customers which will open channels with me.
    • Some sort of a entity/bank that will trust in me to provide liquidity (trust in terms of freezing their funds in a channel and hope I will have enough turnover for them to have profits).

    Are there any other options?

    EDIT: Typo

    miners keep btc price down?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 01:25 AM PDT

    This is pure speculation. Is it possible that the biggest mining companies are keeping btc price low at the moment in order to keep mining almost not profitable for a while? This would be a great tactic for getting rid of small fish that could compete against them for the new upcoming mining hardware that is 30% more power efficient and 20% more powerfull. The last time mining equipment (asic and gpu) went down to msrp prices, soon after crypto prices skyrocketed.
