The point above was that even in the case of making something illegal, it doesn't stop people from physically doing it. In the USA it is legal to make your own guns. > The Legal Framework for Individuals: Making a firearm for perso

Ah nice, we need more of that. I try to take that stance myself as well. First principles etc etc.

Oops left out a word: it's literally impossible for those coins to move in secret . Public ledger and all. Does that answer your question?

How can you ban an app? Another way centralized app stores can backfire!

Ah okay! Well, in case the OP doesn't respond, and because this is a much larger question, perhaps there's another book that fits the bill. I haven't read "The Bitcoin Standard" but believe it addresses some of your

It sounds like you may be missing some parts of how it works. A "transaction" is just a short string that includes a signature. It's impossible to manipulate or change. Therefore the only adversarial things the WhatsApp bot c

This seems like a massive question outside the scope of what this thread can deliver. Recommend reading "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos!

Oh so you mean it's not bot trading, it's actually exchanges lying about volume and transactions? I could see this. Somewhere else it was pointed out during this "crash" that it was all off-chain, blocks and mempool were

Hmm good question. Let's say Bitcoin was strongly regulated globally. Anyone caught running mining software or transacting in Bitcoin has their hands cut off. Ouch. I can still download mining software and run it on my computer, and co

Oh interesting, so it's all bot trading? Any reason this wouldn't apply to the NYSE or NASDAQ as well?

Wait are you making a case for or against Bitcoin? The crypto community selling out after all the years of "hodl"? I would pay to see that! Satoshi "secretly" cashing out....what? How could that even happen it's lit

Just curious, what does it mean if you're wrong about this?

Whenever Bitcoin is an option I pay in Bitcoin. Standard Notes for example, allows you to pay in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Check out the Lightning network, it's much more about currency/goods/services as a Bitcoin

To flip it around, yes, the USD has lost 30% of its buying power in a month before. To Bitcoin. When you define the USD as stability, then yes, USD is stable. It seems like circular logic.

In terms of suckers, there was a big shift in the last year or two, as big corporations, banks, and even nations started to buy Bitcoin. Here's a site that tracks it: https://bitcointreasuries.net/ Again, if you know d

Yeah I have these same concerns about the US dollar. People are like "oh but it's so stable yada yada". At most it's been that way since WW2. It's not THAT long. A blip in the history of human civilization at best.

Restrictions on digital child pornography do seem doomed to failure. It's why the FBI et al keep asking for backdoors and anti-encryption, and why Apple is adding CSAM scanning on device.

by reginold 5y ago
This point is meant to be more about the futility of making Bitcoin illegal because it's just math and code. Similar to how strong encryption was an "illegal munitions export" from the USA in the 90s. In a world where CNC mac

Similar experience, replied elsewhere in the thread. I had some luck contacting the Better Business Bureau. eBay is a dumpster fire, better move is to never use them again and warn others against it.

Contact the Better Business Bureau. They will go to work for you on this maybe. eBay is a despicable company.

Yes, eBay is atrocious. I was banned based on my IP, along with all my family's accounts a few days later. It's an automated system. Customer support will say the equivalent of "it's a secret" why you were banned. Y

My guess is Mt Fuji (8 km) to map of Japan (1527 km). Curiously, a map is not this size, Japan is. A map is closer to 1m.
