Just wanted to remind people that BTC is down to 45K and heading for 38K if your optimistic and 18K if you’re impartial and unemotional.
It will drag most other ALT-Coins down with it before returning to 50K + soon after the bloodbath in the fake-FIAT-debt markets(10%+ downtrend / correction incoming…)

I don’t know enough about bitcoin to have a smart discussion around it (although I’m not sure anybody really does) so I can’t say if it’s “the way” but what I do know is that a Euro in your pocket is not worth what a Euro was say 5 years ago
yet around where I live I see some very average people splashing on €70 grand cars (and like utter mentallers) playing with property….and I have to wonder whether that activity has some of their converted 10x bitcoin gains in the backroom as a basis for all that….I have one good friend who is definitely fuelling an uplift in his standard of living off of it but when I asked him about the possible TAX implications all I get is “ah lookit I’ll worry about that another time”
I personally suspect the wheels will come off not maybe over regulation and all of that but when Govts come calling for their share of the kitty i.e. when Revenue stick the boot in on ye’re crystallised profits
Bitcoin / Crypto eats fake FIAT debt and turns it into a perpetually appreciating digital asset multiplying in value in the medium term.
It also eats inflaltion and protects people or businesses against 20% p.a.into the future.
A total no brainer…
If you are the only person with access to the private keys…
and not actually a priority, but you also have stored it properly in a hardware wallet..
It’s nobodys business but your own.
Governments can do little, taxation sure.. and are actually doing sweet .f.a. for the benefit of everyone’s future in the face of the inevitable.
Ignorant and poor is the plan, same auld scam…

profit is profit, it doesn’t matter how you dress it up
I think don’t get too fixated on the medium, the state will eventually want it’s cut whether you’re trading in BTC or goats. Revenue have an extensive menu at their disposal, it’s not just about having access to your in’s and outs on like of DeGiro. you’re hinting at a black market methodology but the conundrum here is that you want it to be mainstream, BTC good FIAT bad, right? but when you operate mainstream you’ll be policed mainstream and you’ll most definitely be taxed mainstream (and you should be)
you already know that there are only 2 things certain in life
and this is before we even get into the moral arguments lol
BTC is already mainstream and yes FIAT is corrupt debt that literally promotes terrorising humans and rights directly… Wars to protect it’s value. geo-political sanctions, lowering standards of living, mass corruption and greed by 1% with proxiity to the fake fed printing machine etc. etc
You’re sounding a little naive and old school 20th century in your way of thinking but to be fair, you have admitted you know little about it.
Sure, profit and taxable income etc. kind of obvious… but more importantly I never suggested operationg covertly in the shadows or avoiding taxation in the first place… or anything to do with black marketeering..
The current financial system is the real scam… Rife with unfettered greed and fraud and misinformation… at the expense of anyone vunerable..
Bitcoin / Crypro is not anonymous btw.. not even Monero(Anonymous design) is 100% anonymous..
Crypto is even more easily traceable and accountable/secure than anything in history before it..
Also far more difficult to manipulate by fraud / bad actors etc. apart from volatile trading prices in the short term but that will settle down and mature into stability.
The list of FUD lies shaping the almost non-existant mainstream discourse goes on and on and on… smh.. X 3
The same FUD is buried deep in the subconscious of many in the majority at this point… It will prevent many people from getting the leg up that the current system doesn’t want you to see or think you deserve.
– The Irish governments over the years should have set up or supported a national crypto mining industry like Iceland, Texas etc. It would have covered most expendeture to the tune of billions p.a. -every year.

Get over the psychological barrier to enlightenment preventing many from seeing clearly the already omni-present future that is happening now and since the day before yesterday…
Evergrande is too big to fail… The corrupt fed FIAT money printing machine will magically fix it with another scam on taxpayers…
& China will sell some of it’s vast stores of gold etc.. or whatever to bail it out etc..

“If Bitcoin was a country, it would be the 40th highest energy-consuming country in the world, ranking above Colombia and the Czech Republic. The annual carbon footprint of Bitcoin, 34.76 megatonnes of CO2, is comparable to that of Denmark.”
Sad, greedy, and irresponsible.
Micko
That’s a lot alright.
Although if you’re worried about that, you probably shouldn’t look up how much CO2 the internet creates just on its own…
Yikes!
Junkface
A smartphone uses as much carbon as a typical fridge in a family home.
Mr.T
Why, when it comes to climate crisis, do we never call for lowering peoples energy usage? Its always a need to decarbonise and give more subsidies to “green” energy. If thats good enough for the rest of society, its good enough for bitcoin too
Does Denmark support and drive Internet 2.0 Blockchain technology and the already adopted future of digital currency for the entire planet?
It’s not even a logical comparison… Bitcoin is in fact incredibly efficient in it’s use of energy when you consider it as a whole system that actaully forces the use of less energy by everthing else.
Look up Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy talking about all this and the fascinating true positive outcomes and facts people would never imagine..
e.g.. Property rights and soverignty instantly awarded to billions all over the world is a huge one…
Another one of many false statements intentionally perpetuated in mainstream media….
Cryptocurrency uses less electricity than each of the oil, gas other energy or many other industries.. At approx 1/10 of 1% percent of the planets total
It’s also heavily reliant on using renewable cheap electricity and mostly from sources where it would be otherwise wasted energy…
Facts. Look it up for yourself.. 5mins on duck duck go search engine(privacy focused)
You’re a victim of media manipulation and parrotting myths and spouting FUD propaganda promoted by the banks and corporations who want you to think it is environmentally destructive. inefficient, unstable, crooked scam, evil etc. etc.
Meanwhile ALL banks and institutional wealth funds are investing BILLIONS into it..
DEFI = Decentralised Finance and Smart contracts on Blockchain platforms…
It’s already up and running, look into it…
The banks want you to be scared and to keep you ignorant about the facts so they can slow you down and limit the bleeding …
As usual they are happy to keep you as financially poor as possible while they mop up everything for themselves…
Bitcoin as Digital Gold and the Cryptocurrency / Blockchain ecosystem is here to stay..
Wake up…and educate yourself about it, take the initiative and assert yourself.
Plenty of room for everyone to get on board to a better future.

last week I gave it a 3/5 thinking to myself “ok major problems here but maybe it’ll improve after they get the initial plot setup bit out of the way, lets see…”
er, nope. it’s just worse. it’s a total con job. just more stretched out threadbare story cloaked up in even more moody trendy cinematography technique….the entire thing is like some sort of finals project I imagine happens out at IADT….or the kind of demo you might see at some sales expo convention yoke for cameramen / latest fancy iphone p0rn / yadda yadda
the actors are mostly grand but not wasting any more time on it
The OPCW responded at the time by carrying out investigations into who leaked the dissenting report and then closed ranks saying that it was not prepared to give media interviews on the report. The press seemed happy to go along with this state of affairs.

That is a damning indictment of the state of modern journalism, which now – with a few honorable exceptions – sees the major newspapers and TV channels merely echo the views of governments and corporations rather than exposing them.
But our job is to shine a light into dark places and represent the public, not the powerful. We must continue to do so, we owe it to the people of Syria and the world.”
