    Brave browser dev on Twitter: “Brave Rewards (previously 'Payments') was launched on Bitcoin. We had to switch to the ETH blockchain due to network and fee issues. Our users aren't HODLers who buy in large amounts, so the fee and congestion issues facing BTC were unbearable.”

    "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." + some other great quotes to makes us remember what we're up against.

    "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance." — James Madison

    "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." — Mayer Amschel Rothschild

    "All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation." — John Adams

    "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." — Henry Ford

    "A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank." — Ron Paul

    "Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States." — Sen. Barry Goldwater

    "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe." — Abraham Lincoln

    "Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves." — Andrew Jackson

    "Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." — James A. Garfield, President of the United States

    "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." — Thomas Jefferson

    Are you starting to get the picture?

    The Federal Reserve is at the center of a controversy over central banking that has been around since the very beginning of the United States. But unfortunately, the Federal Reserve system is so incredibly complex and the American people of today are so uneducated that the vast majority of people out there simply do not even understand enough about what is going on to get upset about anything.

    World needs to end risky reliance on U.S. dollar - BoE's Carney

    Cash Fusion (mini) simulator

    Here is some code Mark Lundeberg had previously composed while researching the combinatoric effects of mixing large numbers of inputs and outputs.

    It's very counterintuitive (at least it was to me), but a surprisingly large number of combinations arirses that give the same exact sums of inputs when you start increasing the numbers.

    For example, here we are using only 3 players with 6 inputs each (and one output each), and using the random seed in Mark's example, we get 125 combinations that work! Now just imagine how crazy it will get with 10 players and 10 inputs etc.

    https://gist.github.com/markblundeberg/521f10f4fbbd347636167972e757a10e

    I took the liberty of just formatting this iPython Notebook output into a standalone file so you can copy paste it and run it. (I took out the plotting stuff and it also picks a new random seed on every run):

    https://gist.github.com/fyookball/0b79a56b484063ac25d1ccaf22894dbb

    The code can take anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes to run depending on how fast your system is (VM are slower).

    I also have attached a sample output of my run of this in the comments of the gist, which happened to give 67 combinations.

    Sal the agorist knows what Carl Menger knows, but BTC maximalists don’t.

    Why you're in Bitcoin is more important than when you're in Bitcoin. If you're a speculator, then you will leave for more profitable coin anytime (nothing wrong with that). But if you're in to change the world, bear markets and price volatility will not faze you one bit.

    Posted: 23 Aug 2019 07:35 AM PDT

    I'm writing the above because I am worried about alienating the newcomers. Charlie Shrem was in Bitcoin earlier than most of us, but he had a questionable personality, so do some other BTC extremists. Being early doesn't mean much nor give one more authority, especially when they are in it for the wrong reasons with the toxic attitude to bear.

    Plus it is important to welcome newcomers especially when they are in it for the right reasons. I would take an ethical newcomer anytime over an old-timer who sold their soul to the devil (eg. Adam Back, Charlie Lee, etc).

    r/CryptoPaymentGateways has been formed

    Posted: 23 Aug 2019 03:49 PM PDT

    I formed that subreddit to discuss Crypto Payment Gateway development. Users will be allowed to post code and ask for help or advice. Any programming language and eCommerce platform can be discussed. Subbreddit is not single coin specified, but targeted harassment and trolls are not welcome. Will be beginner friendly and less restrictive then Stack Exchange which closes every basic coding question on their site...

    Bitcoin Propagandist WhalePanda Invests in Ethereum Token

    Posted: 23 Aug 2019 11:40 AM PDT

    If you think Bitcoin is valuable for privacy, holding your own keys, avoiding inflation, or permissionless transaction, then you are an anarchist. All of these properties can theoretically exist in the current banking system but are made illegal by government. Bitcoin is anarchy.
