Can't find link to source article
why not? bitcoin is arguably as strategic for a country as nukes and the energy infrastructure would be directly related
of course, if bitcoin were their m.o., it would be to everyone's advantage to downplay this and serve the same lie that's clearly been working for them
This makes sense. 8% seems like a lot in comparison when you put it that way.
Then you're just spending sats or p2p trading for fiat if needed.
Still I don't like the coerced identification that central exchange require.
Hm. Food for thought. Chances of these scenarios seems less likely than an central exchange getting hacked, but definitelt not negligible.
configure wasabi,
Last I checked coinjoins had fees too.
So effectively,
Buy on exchange (0%) -> swap (0.5%) -> coinjoin (fee depends on coordinator?) -> reverse swap (0.5%) /open channel (miner fee) -> swap into cold storage (0.5)
Looks like it could be close to 4% or 5% with more leg work when its all said and done.
I guess with some inbound liquidity you can send directly from the exchange to your node and swap to cold storage with reasonable privacy. That's probably ideal, again, only if you're okay with exchanges having your coordinates
I've seen these fees on robosats but then you're getting bigger chunks, and not particularly mitigating volatility.
So I guess there's the trade off.
So would you be ok with kycing to buy on a central exchange to do this?
Just asking because my concern is the threat of my data leaking and then getting wrenched, not so much whether a particular utxo can be traced to me, but that my id be connected to a data honeypot.
just use LN and be done with it. Sender privacy is good.
Boltz charge around 4-5% to get it back on chain, no?
Isn't their lame excuse that Trump bullied them into it?
Super convenient when your scapegoat thrives on "bad" press coverage
The beats are downstream so much of American cultural attitudes today--arguably all of the "subculture."
Dharma Bums was a treat for me in my senior year. It (and I reckon On The Road) inspired me to leave for university with nothing but a ruck sack, only to return four years later with nothing besides. I'm glad to reread this passage this am.
Absolutely tragic Kerouac drank himself to death. I would have loved to see him mature more in his writing.
if you're already found guilty of something without doing it and feeling the consequences, you might as well do it and actually be guilty.
I haven't yet seen any proof that they are "found guilty" of weaponizing their nuclear potential. Only that the US politicians can't seem to get their story straight about it. But if we should take Netanyahu at his word, then they should have had a weaponized nuclear arsenal 30 years ago, right?
I wouldn't claim it was a peaceful time, but I don't think by any stretch of the imagination it's hard to picture the carnage that would have ensued if for a moment the US or Russia hadn't believed their enemy blown them to smithereens.
My understanding is that, among those wars you listed, Iraq is a similar case, in that we were expected to believe that this was necessary in the name of "peace" in the M.E. to stop them from developing their nuclear capabilities. The isreali-american axis is very good at coercing once thriving nations into the peaceful third world. In fact, it demonstrates perfectly the lack of restraint you mentioned.
I know plenty of Americans as I do Iranians, and what I see from both is a rally around governments they were once very critical of. Nasty business, war.
The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
I cant help thinking perhaps this wouldn't have happened had the western (Isreal's) propaganda machine had been more honest about Iran's nuclear capabilities. The thirty years delusion that Netanyahu has been peddling has been counter productive, to say the least. There's two main reasons.
First, trying to neuter a sovereign nation's enrichment of uranium during an era when nuclear power is clearly going to be a trump card vis a vis Ai, is most certainly a strategic move, not least because of the country's geographic position being a passage to Eastern markets. A sane person will realize this as the incentive and will consequently have to understand Iran won't give it up easily.
Secondly, if the Cold War era taught us anything, it is that M.A.D. is arguably the strongest incentive for global peace.
