    UPDATE: Last week, news broke that hidden within an upcoming must-pass infrastructure bill was a cryptocurrency provision that would expand US government surveillance of cryptocurrency. Today, an amendment has been introduced that will address this issue, but every Senator need to hear your support!

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 11:09 AM PDT

    RED ALERT: The Senate is about to vote on a bill that could kill crypto

    This is a red alert. A provision that's so poorly written it could crush the cryptocurrency ecosystem and dramatically expand US government surveillance has been added to the must-pass bipartisan infrastructure package at the last minute. Fortunately, Senators Wyden, Toomey, and Lummis have introduced an amendment that would fix the language and clarify that the expansion of the definition of a "broker" doesn't apply to open source software developers or validators like miners or stakers.

    Call your Senators right now at 517-200-9518. We'll connect you to their offices and guide you through the process.

    When a staff member answers, tell them:

    "Hi, I'm calling to ask that you support Senator Wyden, Toomey, and Lummis's amendment to the cryptocurrency provision of the infrastructure bill (H.R. 3684) . This amendment will ensure that the provision does not dramatically expand financial surveillance, harm innovation, or undermine human rights. Policies that impact basic freedom and the future of the Internet should be debated carefully and should never be attached to must-pass bills. Thank you."

    Don't be confused, When Gary Gensler the chair of the SEC says bitcoin needs more regulation to protect national security, he isn't talking about our safety.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 03:23 PM PDT

    Gensler unfortunately understands bitcoin better than most people in his position of power and when he's referring to regulating bitcoin for matters of national security, he means that he knows bitcoin will undermine the scam that is the U.S. dollar and he'll do everything in his power to prolong the inevitable from happening. I'm seeing some people cheering on his statement as bullish for bitcoin, I would be very wary of that Golem looking mofo and his ulterior motives. Regardless of what he tries, Bitcoin will prevail 😎

    Senators move to exempt bitcoin, crypto miners from proposed U.S. tax rules

    US Bitcoin Family, Call Your Congress People to Save Crypto. Please See The Link for a Script and Phone Number.

    Jack Dorsey: "We support Sen Toomey and RonWyden’s effort to amend the provision. The infrastructure bill’s current tax reporting language would put unworkable requirements on Bitcoin node runners, developers, and miners. This is the way".

    Senate is trying to sneak in crypto regulations in the infrastructure bill. Please call you Senator and let them know your against it.

    Thanks, /r/Bitcoin

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 02:26 AM PDT

    Five years ago, I made a post asking some very ignorant questions about Bitcoin here:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4jl8lj/eli5_innocent_question_why_are_bitcoins_not_named/

    Since then, I have taken a deep dive into offline address generation and transaction signing, ECDSA, SHA-256, RIPEMD160, and hashing algorithms in general, AES, and all manner of compsec shenanigans. I have had a wonderful time and it probably never would have happened had my eyes not been opened by you people.

    Shoutout to /u/coinjaf. Thanks a lot.

    UK folks: you can now buy KYC free bitcoin in small amounts in every Poundland shop

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 03:54 AM PDT

    There is a company https://azte.co which sells vouchers (up to 25£ worth each, but you can buy as many as you want) in a variety of shops in the UK, including Poundland. Apparently all you need to do is to ask for their vouchers at the checkout (source) and redeem them on Azteco's website.

    No KYC, no phone number needed, as I understand it.

    Time traveller from 2030 giving some insight. We consider you guys who got into Bitcoin pre 2025 as Bitcoin OGs. Sure the people that got in a little earlier were the founding fathers and whaled up, but your still early enough to be considered by us as an OG. Keep hodling - the future is bright!

    This prediction was off by one order of magnitude. 100x, not 10x.

    What are your opinions on them? Good for crypto? Unneeded? Beneficial? Unsafe? I see many pros of them but I worry about the safety of these machines, although I have to admit I don't fully understand how they operate. Could skimmers be a thing? Could bad actors put in nefarious code to retrieve your information when you use them?
