Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Oh noes! We crashed down to 51.5k. Better call Proudhon....
doesnt someone here have him on speed dial or something?
I did
but he changed his number and told the mods to delete my homage to him.
the block of threads 50k to 100k was removed by the mods.
since we hit 50k.
the new block of threads would be shorter.
I wonder if the mods would let me do a shorter locked block
say:
55k
60k
65k
70k
Probably the mods do not like you.. or that diptwat yama either.
Let's go full retard (no homo) and do a homage to Roger Ver and Craig Wright and Gavin Andressen and Elon Musk while we are at it?

Umm...I hope those aren't the only stores.
Legal tender is legal tender. Which by law means no store there can turn down bitcoin as accepted payment.
Hmmm I don’t use btc for small payments actually but I would love to go and buy some burgers etc at McD’s and pay with some sats ….
- especially with lightning and something close to zero fees.

I've read that it's actually optional, hence I do expect that - especially at start - the huge majority of stores will turn down bitcoin payments (unfortunately).
Yes. It's optional for small rink-i-dink operations who do not have an ability to accept it, and I would not categorize any of the companies on that prior list as being sufficiently small and rek-i-dink in order to not "have to" accept dee king daddy.
It all comes down to the fact that Bitcoin is a peer to peer money. Corporations are not a peer. They are a huge conglomeration of different people getting different percentages of your purchase. In order for a corporation to get paid in bitcoin (right now) you need a corporation to act as middleman (ie. BitPay) for the company.
Wow!!!! All this time in bitcoin, and you somehow have a view that companies are not "peers" That's about as retarded a statement as could be made. Surely, there might be some companies making such arguments, but no one with any brains should actually believe such nonsense, unless you are just taking such statement out of context.
One comment I found telling was of someone going into a store to buy something with bitcoin but the owner wasn't there so they had to text the owner and the owner finally sent the payment address.
Sure the coming up with excuses makes sense.
Are we expecting McDonalds to set up a lightning wallet for their cashier to handle all of the money for that day, and then expect the cashier to make the choice between handing that wallet over to the owners at the end of the day or just quit with more than they would make in a year?
Another retarded statement. Of course, there are all kinds of people who are put in charge of handling money, and they have to hand over the money at the end of the shift - or possibly various points in between if they happen to be handling large quantities (or potentially large quantities) of money.
Bitcoin will eventually not only take down governments but also take down corporations. But for now, we're not there yet.
Eventually the "McDonalds" will be a series of smart contracts running the restaurant with an algorithm as the "owner".

Yes.. small countries such as El Salvador may well be left with the choice of shutting down such company operations if they do not comply and surely some countries will not be willing to play that card, but they might be wiling to bluff or maybe play that card at a later date. Countries, even small ones, are NOT devoid of power, even when dealing with large companies.
speaking of proudhon and old timers, what happened to realroach?
