10 sats \ 1 reply \ @ama 3h \ parent \ on: Has anyone used Element wallet for staking BTC? bitcoin
There is no staking on Bitcoin, maybe it's some kind of wrapped BTC on another network? Or simply you give custody to them (and they call it staking) so that they can do whatever they do to try to make profit from your BTC?
(Wonderful) Variability.
Sorry, couldn't resist to add the adjective, since the explosion of forms life expreses itself is truly that... wonderful. And, of course, it comes to my mind the great quote from Lorna Wing, "Nature never draws a line without smudging it."
Freedom in the neo-liberal world doesn't have anything to do with actual liberty, but just the freedom to conduct your business and amass wealth, which is made convenient by proprietary closed-source software. Using open-source software as a base for your closed-source product is even more beneficial, like iOS on top of the Mach kernel and BSD userland, Android with a Linux kernel underneath, or Winblows with whatever open-source components they may be using now.
Open source is something totally different, where coders share their work because they want others to use it and also make it better, with freedom (the right kind) in mind. This includes the freedom to study it, modify it, and use it as you see fit, even making modifications that can be kept closed source, as allowed by licenses like the BSD license.
So, in my opinion, non of the two options, but the world exactly as it looks.
Physics says that moving matter across space is the process which takes the most energy. And the most massive an object (or a living being) is, the more energy is needed to move it around. So, walking briskly looks like a good candidate, if not running, which is harder on the joints.
Have a look at https://piped.video/ to see if it helps until we find something better. :-)
Bull Wallet also does submarine swaps to and from Liquid and on-chain (hopefully they add Rootstock as well soon). It also has Silent Payments for privacy, which an excellent plus.
If using sensible platforms like zap.stream isn't enough (I know, I know), instead of add blockers, use Invidious to watch YT videos: FreeTube (or similar clients) on Linux and NewPipe (or similar clients) on Android.
Due to how hugely asymmetric saving in Bitcoin is, I'd say that product is a extremely expensive insurance designed to drain "investors" pockets.
Hopefully the UK can resist their invasion of your leaving spaces by the giant US corporations, like BR, to extract all value from people. Alas, governments in other countries welcome those giants with the poor excuse that its money that comes into the country in the form of investments. In actuality, is money that goes out in the form of huge profits at the expenses of people finding places to live affordably. 21st-century slaves don't wear shackles, they pay mortgages, and more and more often, abusive rents.
I agree about the housing problem caused by the neo-liberalism, which comes from the corruption of politicians by international corporations and funds, like BlackRock, which are buying a large proportion of houses all over the world to speculate with.
I wouldn't trust any company with my monies, so I'd only use BTCRecover should I ever need it. It's open source and you install it and run it yourself locally. I personally have never lost access to any of my wallets, but I used a similar software (a script in Python) years ago to succesfully recover a couple of wallets (Bitcoin and Solidcoin) for someone else.
Is it possible to transfer/unload (not spend it) the fiat from one of those cards somewhere else?
I'm asking because if not, the buyer could give the code to the seller and, after the seller confirms and the sats are transferred, and try to spend the card before the seller does.
I've never used one of those gift cards, so I may be missing something that prevents that?
