The Netherlands is taxing (my) Bitcoin holdings as well. The way they do that, is by depending on my honesty. The reason I'm honest is because I don't want any troubles when I'm going to buy my lambo (no, not serious). Afaik

Is this including the elderly who often will break a hip that way and then die of the complications? Because if so, that would not be comparable to a healthy young (< 60 yo) person falling.

It will never go to absolute zero as long as there are still people who at the very least see it as a joke. "Remember when BTC was $20000? I just bought 50000 of them, I would have been a billionair! Haha!" Also tell people in Ven

Wouldn't this mean you ignore the transactions with the higher fees for the other miners to pick up, thereby making mining more profitable for them? How bitcoin transacting work is not that the miners publish their price and someone

On the other hand, in Git there is no difference between a branch, a check-in, a shelve set and a code review (which is also a shelve set). How nice would it be if you could just compile and run the code review yourself, reject it, and then

A quick scan through that list doesn't raise any red flags for me. Of course they need to share data with payment providers (like a bank), or else they won't be able to get or deposit your money. Of course they need to share data

Interesting, I interpreted the "mess" as leaving dishes in the sink, and not as not putting on the rubber gloves and cleaning said sink. In the company I work for, you can take the lunch from the lunchroom to your desk. For a week

Why do you equate startups with startups that finance themselves with private data? Every piece of regulation is another headache for a business. Take for example the combination of GDPR + backups. If you have enough technical manpower, y

bitonic has a spread between buy/sell of about 200 EUR (on an average price of 8000 EUR). That seems a bit excessive.

> the effort required to mine Bitcoin increases over time. Not necessarily. The effort required is based on trying to create blocks every 10 minutes. If the price increases, mining becomes more profitable, thus more effort will be put in

At that point the HFT is guessing and hoping the second order will actually arrive at exchange B. That's the risk the HFT takes. There is no automatic overflow function that will transfer (the rest of) an order between two exchanges. A

You can definitely 'mine' such a block. The problem is getting the rest of the network to accept it. In fact, with Bitcoin Cash you can basically see what happens if blocks are created according to different rules. However I image

You can't set your 'limit' to 105, when the current price is 101. That's a market order. Even if you could, why would you want to buy at 105, when the current price is 101? Just to don't have to pay 0.25 in fees!? T

Because the market could move against you. If you're ok with buying for 100, but someone else is selling for 99, you've effectively done a market order and have to pay the fees. However if the lowest sell is 101 and then the price
