There are tools out there that turn the Bitcoin blockchain into an open shopwindow showing every transaction you make and who you made it to. From named Exchanges to payment gateways, darknet markets, ransomware companies etc. etc.. they even have some pretty good guesses at identifying which addresses are linked to the same wallet even if they’re not identified to a named entity. Whilst this is admirable in that if you use Bitcoin for a criminal act - you will get caught, it’s also not good for anonymity. As such, Bitcoin is more like a stock to be traded and hedged against inflation with a legitimate audit trail (showing when you bought it and sold and who owns it)- rather than cash or a legitimate bank account which still affords more privacy than Bitcoin which can be tracked wihout a court order. Trust me - these tools are very powerful and its not just ‘the good guys’ who have access to them.

XMR has been painted as a ‘coin for criminals’ when in reality it is just what is should be: Your money is none of my business and mine is none of yours!

Bargain!

I have to say that at 0.0065 / $200 some people really don't value their Monero or I'm missing something.

Does anyone know of any times that fund from a hacked wallet have been recovered?

You will probably have this problem with several petrol stations. This is because the card is classed as a prepaid card rather than a debit card. I had a similar problem using the Revolut card when traveling through Europe. Some stations were fine and others weren’t. You can usually pay at the counter with it (after fuelling) but not at the pump (before fuelling)




I completely agree with Richy here. I ALWAYS ignore the conversion rate offered and pay in local currency. The visa or mastercard rate offered by Revolut is far better and they don’t charge a high ‘non sterling’ fee. On larger transactions such as hotel bills, the difference can be quite substantial. You were lucky they were the same rate on this occasion, but maybe try a few more to be sure.

Ditto! Although i been buying on Revolut in GBP. I keep buying 0.001 - just bought some more for £28k

47750

Ouch! I know we’re up in general but this dip really makes the eyes water. Even if Bob is cheering buying at $49k... I know he’s crying at the bottom line.

I remember that. I used it to POKE infinite lives!

Hi Richy. Great to see you back!

80k KUD would do quite nicely!

Good point! I think i should use ‘was’ instead of ‘felt’

Thank you Philipma1957 for the merit.

Dunno. I felt richer in 2017. In 2021 the fork coins have no value (not that I own any any more) and XMR is on 75% discount relatively.

Wow! There’s a journo with a chip on their shoulder. Pathetic piece of bitter and twisted journalistic crap!

I came here to catch up. Can’t believe 0.0045 but I am not looking to sell. I just can’t predict the floor.

There will always be dumpers!

Very good choice! I always had Mercedes cars until 2017. Then I bought a BMW 520d (after reading a clarkson review between the 520d and E220.  The BMW fantastic car! Comfortable, great performance, handling and economy! Also models pre April 2017 are only £30 a year to tax in the UK.

I feel this way about Monero. $130?!?! WTF man!

我之前和他谈过，他从“消息来源”确认中国再次禁止比特币

Good Morning Wobservers.

Happy Halving Day!
