What about the Internet gives you the impression anyone is?

I'm fascinated you think "exchanges and brokers" are the decisive constituency.

And if they did, what difference would it make to those who don't use them.

As for the false dichotomy of the merely 2 tier future being discussed there's a range of tiers, all optional, for how people interact with the protocols.

Buy now.

Don't sell until you understand it and how to Ask.

Can I pay a lot of bitcoin not to see it?

What a pack of self-righteous judgmental prigs.

If you have a project there I'd move it now. People who think they can determine every outcome based on a technology aren't to be trusted. Now that they have judged, they will again, and if your technology is used by bad actors, you may have to move along too.

Eventually only good things and sunlit uplands will be found in these best places.

Yes it can still happen, if you buy paper bitcoin you accept the risk. If it's supposed to be "physical" bitcoin, you can check.

Wrapping has proved faithless, but presumably you took the risk for a reason.

This is what is different, with bitcoin you choose, with legacy finance, they made all the rules and all you get to do is follow them, while a few in power, like a Gensler, get to break them, "for the public good," of course.

Examples of derivate in a Sentence a cuisine that is regarded by some as a derivate of creole cookery

Guess those derivates remedy all the problems, with algorhythmic protection from pegging mishap.

Like the Internet, Linux and democracy, it's made by users, for users, and not for profit.

The removal of the profit distraction, while having a different and smaller set of problems, is the great advantage of all these now near universal technologies (along with being first, and running for a considerable time among friendly collegial users).

It seems a pity that opportunistically mining an empty block is better than having a new block ready to begin, even before the contents and validity of the preceding block is confirmed.

In the latter case, it might be wrong, it might overlap, but at least some more TXs would be confirmed.

I'm messin' around with TON

"Public bitcoin mining companies – a necessary evil?"

FTFY

Not necessary, not necessarily evil. Too early to tell.

If you accept a Bid, you're not selling, you're dumping.

If you set a price, an Ask, you're raising the price.

Thank you Commission for offering to spend your resources improving the decentralisation and robustness of the, and let's be honest Bitcoin is the target, Bitcoin network.

Bitcoiner's could never force mining into one place or another, but the Commission, and others, have played a role, an important role, in the splitting up and distribution of mining.

Bitcoin doesn't need miners, it needs mining, and that can be done anywhere the energy, connectivity and intellect to perform it exists. And many miners at small scale is not something a thick blunt instrument like the Commission can control.

Fearmongering luddites of the 21st century.

No, we don't want or need regulation controlling the future for the benefit of the past. You like things the way they are, welcome to incumbency and since you've enjoyed whatever the situation is that is about to change, perhaps you're a little old to change and adapt to the new.

Sadly the term of the status quo in intellectual production (there's no such thing as intellectual property) is shortening and just when you thought it all over, it has only begun.

Photography impacted picture drawers and stable diffusion is going to make more pictures than "creatives" ever did.

It was nice while your skills were rare and valuable, but now anyone can get something out of an idea without touching pencil, oil or ink.

Programming, you want it to remain mired in the past, bad luck. The attempt to strangle open source, foss, with copyright is just sick. Copyleft kept it free for all, and that means making it a training set for the next thing to help more people, not a few from the past retain their privileges.

Precisely the result of abandoning money in favour of currency alone. Money is for saving, currency is for spending. Saving something that is for spending is inapt, hence the correction is to invest.

As noted investment is not easy and even professionals misstep. Perhaps money, in the olden days gold, was abandoned that the amateur spender could be more easily beggared due to their lack of investment skills, while anyone can exploit thrift with money. HODL! (Because its easy and it works, just like dollar cost averaging)

Noone speaks for bitcoin, that's a pathetic projection of the speakers ignorance and biases. I say ignorance as that is infinite and wisdom isn't. The best spokespeople for bitcoin say nothing about it, but demonstrate its impact. Bitcoin isn't a promise, it's like gravity, a fact, and a spokesman for gravity, the idea is risible.

The entire professional managerial and political classes, who've made book and fortunes from lies, are not going to gain any traction on bitcoin.

Anyone seen or heard even a whisper of a bailout for Core?

Didn't think so, don't expect to.

Oh really, if someone threatened physical harm to a TERF, misogynist, fascist or Nazi, you'd disown them.

Get a grip.

Of course. What about being a Bitcoiner would make you disinterested in the Merge?
