As long as you're able to create btc addresses without having to show an id to an official, it should be possible to anonimize them. Or at least create a pseudo plausible story of getting them in a legal fashion. Of course, it's p

I use online chess tactics problems to assess how good my brain is that day. I estimate there's a 300+ ELO variance, perhaps even more, in my performance between when I'm tired and when I'm rested. 300 ELO points between 2 pl

The issue is with transmitting money in another country. That's what takes several days (from Germany to USA for example). They buy BTC in Germany for EUR, send them to the guy in USA who then sells those for USD. It probably takes les

It's the transfer time and fees between non SEPA countries that's cheaper and much faster. And that includes fiat->BTC->fiat commissions and tx fees.

I think chess is an appealing game because it's touted as the sport of the brain. Once one knows the rules they imagine they have the same chance of winning as anyone. The truth is chess performance depends tremendously on training, pr
