    Technical warning to holders.

    Some of you guys store their keys, wallets and so on, on flash-cards. Just a little reminder to all of you, that FLASH memory is energy dependent, mean that memory cell will forget it state someday. It is a bad idea to store keys on flash-memory(for long time at least) better use laser discs or paper/physical storage, also there is a EMP possibility, that will erase all your flash-cards at once. Have a good day.

    Real or was it a dream? I bought groceries in a SPAR supermarket and paid with bitcoin over the Lightning Network as one of the official payment methods

    Banks in Israel refuse accepting fiat deposits related to Bitcoin. What's next?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2019 11:44 PM PDT

    I decided to embrace Bitcoin since 2017 because i was convinced that it is the future of money and that it emancipates us from the oligopoly of the banking system. I know that Bitcoin is still in the early stage of adoption although its acceptance by merchants, even if slow, is encouraging. For this reason, i see my BTCs utility as a store of value for now until retailers, utility companies, gas stations, supermarkets, restaurants and coffee shops and government tax agencies accept the sea change of cryptocurrency.

    Two days ago the Cointelegraph cited a story published in Haaretz Israel captioned "Bitcoin Investors Trapped Between Their Bankers and Israel's Tax Authority". Short story is that banks in that country have decided as a matter of policy not to accept fiat deposits that are proceeds of cryptocurrency.

    My question is that although in this instance it is the banks that are instituting this policy, what if the government/s decide to go this route via legislation or central bank regulation? Will this be a death blow to mass adoption by business and consumers?

    Any thoughts on this and how you think it will play out. What is currently happening in Israel is quite a "chilling" message.

    Just don't f*ckn dance

    "I love bitcoin twitter but sometimes it feels a little too giddy about financial apocalypse."

    worIdwideEb is right about this.

    Bitcoin is ultimately a stake through the heart of the central bank monopolies. The dependents on that system (e.g., Deutsche Bank) are fading fast, and we'll be seeing daily more and more:

    HSBC to Slash Thousands of Jobs After Ousting CEO

    The wheels will (literally) come off a lot of buses before the malinvestment-driven economies will even begin to recover. While hyperbitcoinization won't be the cause, it will be blamed as the catalyst and beneficiary.

    And for every win in our circle, there will be thousands of losses in their circles. It's inevitable.

    Doesn't mean we need to dance over it though.

    Have you noticed that all the shitcoin talk has disappeared? Nobody is talking about crypto/blockchain stuff anymore. It’s Bitcoin!

    Posted: 06 Aug 2019 01:28 PM PDT

    Try to go back to 2017.

    Everyone was doing the blockchain dance.

    ICOs every day, forks every day, bcash nuts everywhere, "crypto analysts" shilling shitcoins on tv...

    All of it is slowly going away.

    For those who are waiting for "alt-season", sorry there's no "alt-season" anymore. It's over.

    Bitcoin has won.

    Should I buy 100 USD or just HODL my bitties?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 04:55 AM PDT

    So I see that I could buy 100 United States Dollars right now for just 0.0085 bitties. Do you think that is a smart move considering how much USD is down since the begining of the year? I am worried though that it could still go down a lot. What do you guys think? The USD does look extremely unstable against bitcoin though, so I am definitely concerned about the wild fluctuations in it's value. I mean, 100 USD might only be worth 0.005 BTC someday soon, so should I just wait to buy some? I just want a tiny bag full to play around with.
