And posting news is not shilling. I currently don't recommend it to users, when last time tried it was still very buggy. But improvements listed are nice, other wallets should adopt some of these too, for example, unified QR codes.

I see Liquid Network as useful tool for privacy, as it has confidential transactions.

There are better privacy solutions for Bitcoin than Samourai, their main advantage was being a mobile wallet.

Bitcoiners mostly do have savings.

With coinjoins you never give up custody of bitcoins to a third party, every coinjoin transaction needs to be signed by all participants for it to be a valid Bitcoin transaction.

Have always said JoinMarket has the biggest chance of survival of all currernt coinjoin implementations in case of full scale war on Bitcoin privacy, as there is no centralized service profiting, there is no company behind it, even if you arrest or kill all the devs, code is open, people can still run it. Also true for Samourai and Wasabi, but both require single centralized coordinator to coordinate coinjoin rounds. In JoinMarket taker is coordinating, which means anyone can do it and there always will be makers over Tor ready to provide liquidity, no single server ever to seize / shut down.

It doesn't currently support even all the EU countries, for example, you can see in map above that Spain and Italy isn't supported. Likely due some local laws / regulations.

Until I die and can't use them other way than hodl forever? I'm not in my 20s anymore.

Completely disagree. Baltic Honeybadger, HCPP, BTC Prague has given me a lots of new contacts and oppurtunities in Bitcoin space.

So, I should say to my wife, no more vacations to other countries where I can't pay for everything with sats directly? No travelling to Bitcoin conferences, if I can't pay for everything I need in that city with sats directly?

I mean technically - if you are shop that also sells bread, are you bread company? Don't think so.

And there is Bitcoin economy involved, proxy merchants can earn BTC for themselves by getting rid of fiat, without using centralized exchanges. TBC is basically proxy merchant company, VISA cards is only one of their products, they sell various gift cards. Same as Bitrefill, for example.

And I don't shill anything. But they can be helpful, when you really need to pay for something and only have sats and no way to pay with sats directly. Let's say, you need to pay for a taxi to the airport in the middle of the night in random foreign country.

No, they aren't issuing cards themselves, they act as a proxy merchant for VISA gift cards issued by some other company.

Don't remember exactly, I think I was home.

What is bitcoin.org app? You mean Bitcoin Core wallet? You can import wallet.dat file to other forks of Bitcoin Core, like Bitcoin Knots. From within Core / Knots you can export raw privkeys and import them to some other wallets that support it.

It isn't. I don't think you could call a win losing tens of thousand soldiers a year and moving front line for a few km.

It's unfortunately happening in European football and basketball, especially in lower leagues. And big stakes betting on these games happens through limited access Asian bookmakers. Few football clubs have been thrown out from Latvian Virsliga (higher league) in the past because of this. In football it's often enough to get some 2-3 players on your side to play fixed game.

Reminds me of Andris Biedriņš, last years of the career he didn't play much but earned millions per year anyway.

Sudetenland was small enough to do not change things much from military strategy perspective. Bigger deal was Poland taking also minor part of Czechoslovakia, but also it didn't change much. It was hard to defend Poland anyway. But French and British could have marched mass scale into Western Germany, but they didn't, to not "escalate things" (same as in Ukraine now), French invasion was very limited. With Denmark and Norway Germans just did first strike, UK didn't have enough time to react. British could have occupied Norway first if they really wanted to.

Same as giving to a thug on the street everything he wants instead of fighting back.

It's 01.

Ok, you could choose slavery, I prefer to be either free or dead.
