Is Bitcoin recovering or is it just fiat dumping?

Yeah, I wish. Now, most of my expensive sink channels are drained and need to be rebalanced.

Take that ~0.4btc forward to LOOP that I mentioned earlier. Now my node will try to rebalance that channel with a max-cost of 85% of its profits, every 5 minutes, until all the sats are on my end again.

To tell you the truth I'm still not sure they are not just dealing with randomness and they are basically herding cats.

But when you think about it if you can distill randomness fast enough then you can find any answer so the error correction is actually the real computation.

They may be a snake eating their tails.

I think it is highly possible that the closer they get to the answer the more exponential the problems become, similar to reaching the speed of light.

Quantum computing research firm Project Eleven is offering 1 BTC to anyone who can break Bitcoin's cryptography.

Quantum computing research firm Project Eleven is offering 1 bitcoin (worth around $84,081) for its first "Q-Day Prize," a global prize that will go to the first team to crack an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer within a year.

"The goal of the prize is simple but urgent: quantify the true threat that quantum computing poses to Bitcoin core cryptography," the firm wrote in a statement on Wednesday. Quantum computers pose potential threats to Bitcoin primarily through their ability to break cryptographic algorithms that secure the network.

As Project Eleven notes, Bitcoin uses ECDSA for transaction signatures. Quantum computers, using Shor's algorithm, could theoretically derive private keys from public keys, compromising wallet security. The firm estimates that more than 6.2 million BTC, worth nearly $500 billion, are at risk.

"We have no clear idea how close we are to a quantum ‘doomsday’ scenario for existing cryptography," Alex Pruden, CEO and co-founder of Project Eleven, said in a statement. "The Q-Day Prize is designed to take a theoretical threat from a quantum computer, and turn that into a concrete model."

Such interesting times.

There can surely be a dilemma regarding how much to share, and then setting up the inheritance too, whether she would end up with all of your  stuff, or if you might have some other heirs in mind.

Another thing is that trust can sometimes be difficult and it can sometimes disappear, so sometimes we want to have systems in place in which our spouse does not have an incentive to either kill you or to fail/refuse to act in your own interest in terms of making sure that we live long.  It is difficult to know the answer, but your idea of setting up some joint accounts and even accounts for care of the kids might not be a bad idea, but if the amounts get to be too much, then the wife could run off with the funds and things like that.

Frequently if you are in a relationship long enough, you can get some sense of the trustworthiness of the other person, yet we have a society that is problematic when it comes to property rights and/or even the creation of bad incentives related to money, wealth and value.  Surely there are some cultural differences, too.. so not all parts of the world are the same in regards to these kinds of matters, even though surely wealth can have tendencies to corrupt the minds of people on both sides... so sometimes there could be value if each of the spouses have their own wealth, but frequently there can be wealth disparities that might cause one spouse to have what the other spouse has and potentially attempt to achieve through evil and/or deceptive means.

So, it's official: we're having the worst Q1 of the cycle's top year in Bitcoin history.



Such a pathetic start to what should have become the final and the greatest year of current cycle. If we're following the 2017 pattern (which I believe we're doing) we should face 5 consecutive months of green dildos and euphoria. Slight decline then and another Q of Bitcoin glory and a facemelting final rally.       

P.S. choppa soon 
P.P.S. don't you dare to mindrust 

Trump is using the same trick when he was previously president using tarrifs to tank the market in order to buy-in cheap stocks for him and his rich entourage.

Difference between than and now is they add Bitcoin to their portfolio.

Although, Trump doesn't give a rat ass about his MAGA, the average supporter is stupid, arrogant and a fat fck.

Trump is squeezing every dollar out of this opportunity by scraping the bottom and than...pump pump pump!.

Don’t get married.

but I realize we could live in a different culture and in some cultures I can understand why you may not want to show all your cards right away.

I guess it's human nature. Nothing against women, but they do tend to favor security in the present time (profits lock-in), rather than future potential profits (delayed gratification, with the associated risk -- which appears very high if they don't understand how Bitcoin works). So, yes, I can understand their way of thinking, and I know that it may cause friction if they know certain things about coins and wallets and such. So, I choose to keep it to myself, and only disclose what is needed to justify certain actions.

Why choose such negative scenarios?  Sure I mentioned $55k could happen as if it were not too likely, but still I mentioned that it could happen, and even with the SBR, it sounds like it would take some time for that to be established.

There are positive scenarios and negative scenarios, and the negative scenarios don't really seem very likely, and by the time we get through 2025 and half of 2026, then maybe we will be pondering if even 5 digits are going to be possible again.. ?  depending on how much BTC's spot price might be able to drag up the 200-WMA in the coming 6-18 months.

My take: Saylor is deploying his "new" 711 mil upon low liquidity on exchanges 

Gosh...people are calling every little wiggle a "crash".
That said, if you are 50X long or short, then a 2% wiggle wipes you out
