Rumours are going around that nChain's CEO left the company because of Craig Wrong's idiotic actions. Good riddance, better late than never.

My other neighbor knows I am into Bitcoin and he learned from me, I guess that's how this other neighbor knew, I told him to go meet the next neighbor but he said he is not ready to teach.

Your entire neighborhood knows about Bitcoin?

Always use custodial platforms with the assumption that they will one day freeze withdrawals. Always keep your funds deposited at a minimum.

Craig Wright suing 16 Bitcoin developers
by

on 10/02/2023, 11:08:19 UTC

Bitcoin Core developers work on the key software underpinning Bitcoin, focusing their efforts on a variety of improvements (privacy, security, user experience, etc.) at the base layer of Bitcoin. They are often volunteers who may sometimes accept funding grants or donations in support of their work.

Wright contends that Bitcoin developers can easily change the protocol's code in order to return the keys to those funds to him.

https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/02/03/craig-wrights-uk-case-against-16-bitcoin-developers-to-go-to-full-trial-report/

Is this guy retarded? Even if developers push in code updates that moves all the Satoshi coins to an address that Craig Wright controls, does he really expect the Bitcoin community to actually run the software? This must be the dumbest thing I've read in 2023.

Just purely out of curiosity. 99% of people who don't know how to properly create an airgapped device should be using hardware wallets.

Re: The recent house hearing concerning bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
by

However, at the very least, it is worth appreciating that there are hearings such as this, even if it is just on a relatively small subcommittee level. At least, democratic processes are still working. Moreover, reliable resource persons were invited, given ample amount of time to elucidate on contentious issues regarding Bitcoin and crypto, which probably made a lot of less-informed lawmakers realize the real score.

While the committee may generally be considered technologically incompetent, it has also showcased certain members of congress such as Rep. Anthony Gonzalez and Rep. Warren Davidson who appeared to be objective in appreciating Bitcoin as an emerging financial technology.

Yes. It was actually surprising how sort of neutral some of the representatives are. But I swear Brad Sherman is a total dunce.

We're once again remembered how technologically incompetent the committee is, and that Brad Sherman is a worm.

Here's an older thread of mine:

"The Streisand effect is a social phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing that information, often via the Internet." - Wikipedia

Since Faketoshi and his friend Scamvin Ayre sent a copyright infringement letter to Bitcoin Core, jokes on them, the Bitcoin Whitepaper is now hosted on far more websites than ever before.

https://chaincode.com/bitcoin.pdf
http://research.huobi.cn/detail/386
https://btcpayserver.org/bitcoin.pdf
https://keys.casa/bitcoin.pdf

and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

"A lone hornet doesn't stand a chance against a predator.
A swarm of cyber hornets can defend against anything." - Jameson Lopp

Go fuck yourself, Faketoshi.

What do you mean discounted prices??

Bitcoin $3000 was a discounted price. 30K is WAY overvalued.

If you don't want to do the time then don't the crime right? I don't think that we take for granted our freedom just cause some inmate talked about it, if you are living without regrets then you are not taking everything including freedom for granted.
You do realize how utterly stupid you sound, right?

Surprisingly Ross Ulbricht manages to get a 30 minute message out even while being in maximum security prison.

Scary how after listening about his experiences, that we'd immediately realize how we're totally taking our freedom for granted. Just speechless.

Asking a legit question. Do you feel the future of Bitcoin is on stable ground or do you feel the shift under your feet?
Bitcoin's future will be a lot better than your shitcoin's.

I don't have a shitcoin. We are having a conversation NOT a pitch meeting. Glad you have it all figured out. Please tell me what next weeks wining loto numbers are?
