Yeah I know how it goes. I just used "official" estimates from https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/above-ground-stocks

However there is a huge red warning sign in the bold part:

Total above-ground stocks (end-2019): 197,576 tonnes
Jewellery: 92,947 tonnes, 47.0%
Private investment: 42,619 tonnes, 21.6%
Official Holdings: 33,919 tonnes, 17.2%
Other: 28,090 tonnes, 14.2%
Below ground reserves: 54,000 tonnes

Yet to be mined gold is in the millions of tonnes... and it will become easier to mine it once AI programmed robotics are sent to mine it in places that humans can not operate efficiently. Whether it's underwater, deep in the earth, near volcanoes, or in freezing and hot places.

And that's only the mechanics of extracting it. AI will also assist heavily in detecting patterns of where gold actually is. These two reasons can lead to a very large supply boom in like 10-20 years.

I think we just reached parity levels with gold inflation. Next halving would be half of gold.

Gold is around 3.5k tons per year / 199k supply (197.5 end of year 2019) = 1.76%.
Btc is 328.5k per year / 18.37mn supply = 1.78%

Compared to fiat that is increasing the monetary base frantically, I think we are sitting pretty good

Happy halving day everyone.

I would consider ~10mn/day from the get go being immediate enough. But that's just me

But it does have an immediate effect after the halving: 900 less bitcoins per day or ~9mn USD.

Over a month it's 270mn USD, and over a year it's 3.3 bn usd less required to keep price constant at current levels.

It's not very black and white... I mean Belgium (similar population) has 3000+ dead and is has extensive measures for 3-4 weeks compared to Sweden's 850 dead... meanwhile Belarus (similar population to Belgium and Sweden) has no measures in place, they haven't even stopped their sport activities and crowd gatherings and yet they have only 19 dead

Greece has very good climate. Just note that in Crete it's pretty hot in the summer and Corfu is quite rainy in non-summer months.

Central and northern Greece is better for dealing with heat but of course it'll be a bit colder in the winter.

Athens is becoming a shithole though, due to extreme migrant inflow from islamic countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan... foreigners are easy prey to criminal islamic gangs.

"However, Wright still expects that he will receive the keys at a later date."

Translation: Wright expects to get more pumping profits (BSV) in another pumping round 

Shortly after Judge Reinhart issued this Order, on September 11, 2019, the parties reached
an agreement in principle to settle the case. Discovery was abated for nearly two months as the
parties worked together to document their agreement. Then, on October 30, and without warning,
Plaintiffs were informed Craig could no longer finance the settlement, and that he was terminating
the settlement efforts.


...no shit

Courts don't have the technical know-how to determine crypto fraud, private keys, stuff like that. Heck, the Japanese court "resolved" the mtgox case by giving a low USD-equivalent on bitcoins that had multiplied their USD-value several times. In the meantime they left the rest of the BTC to the custody of third parties that were using these BTCs to manipulate BTC price... I think it was Kraken who said that the trustee was destroying the order book instead of opting for auctions (as suggested by Kraken).

In any case, the courts asked for something from CW and he has to deliver "something". I have no doubt he will deliver "something" because he needs to do it or else face possible sanctions, from what I read. Heck, he might have made enough money in the recent rumor-based SV pump that he can actually settle the case outside of the courtroom without losing face from a possible conviction

Let's say one wants to sync the blockchain from scratch. What kind of download speeds are we talking about?

And XRP is included without even being a crypto...

Maybe it's a "someone doesn't like others frontrunning his buys and fucks them up to blow their longs and then buy cheaper" 

So how did he post from the prison saying "I'm not Dorian Nakamoto"?

Is there any website that tracks bitcoin ATH in various currencies?

I think those behind the "big moves" don't want to be very predictable, since they want to avoid front-running purchases by others. If you can predict the moves of the market you can front-run it with leverage and gain big. But that would elevate the big buyers average cost per btc and it's obviously something they do not want. I wouldn't be surprised if the large players cause spikes down/up to liquidate shorts and longs that try to get ahead of the trends.

I wouldn't be surprised either at transferring altcoin money to bitcoin through trend-creations which act as a hook for potential altcoin buyers/traders, which makes people buy altcoins during some rising trends and then dumping on them to get their bitcoins. This mechanism would be something like a secondary source for bitcoins that allows more bitcoins to be acquired without making the btc/usd go through the roof - since bitcoins are taken from btc/altcoin pairs. The side effect is obviously the ascent of bitcoin dominance.

The economic module of the game was fantastic. I usually played only as investor manipulating mine and all other stocks, trying to bankrupt the other rich guys, while having quit as a manager of the company and letting the game automanage it...

Hmm.. so if the above applies then the software must be able to pick the right transaction style. If it doesn't then it's broken software so to speak.

I read the above and still don't get the problem. What type of address was needed before sending to Bech32 and why was it unspendable? And how can it be unspendable if it is sent back to the company's wallet and thus "proves" it's an inside job?
