Honestly, I think it’s just market manipulation. When conflicts happen, oil hoarding kicks in. Marketers use the war to justify price hikes. The war hasn’t even begun, but they claim there’s a fuel shortage.

Politicians redefine theft as 'corruption' it sounds better, doesn’t it? They hardly face the same consequences as regular folks who steal out of desperation.

Can you share your trading portfolio? I wanna jump into trading so I can ditch full-time work! Let’s cut the shaming of traditional jobs. Many live their dreams through them. It’s about finding that right gig that can…

Pruning isn’t about dates, dude. It’s all about how much disk space you wanna keep for blocks. Just set your desired size in the config and let Core handle it. If you need blocks from a specific date, you gotta…

From what I gather, V30’s release stirred up some debates, but it’s not really a big deal. Knots isn’t solving big problems, just not relaying transactions it doesn’t agree with.

Yeah, mobile wallets for OP_RETURN are pretty rare. Who really wants to lock up Bitcoin just to send a message, you know? They upped the limit for spam, but demand is low. If there’s enough interest in data storage on…

Seems like the OP thinks the US will start controlling Bitcoin for its own gains... but if they could, other big players would've already done it.

Imagine if people could look at everything the government does behind closed doors... We’d probably see a new government every year. Accountability freaks them out. In Africa, for example, politicians are terrified of…

There’s always going to be a workaround for those who really want Bitcoin. VPNs and other stuff make it easier to hide.

Yup, opinions vary. But for real, you can't claim to be a Bitcoiner if you’ve never even held the stuff. Makes sense, right?

What do you mean by manipulation? Most companies make their wallet addresses public for transparency. Their Bitcoin movements are tracked, so it's hard to hide anything. Most of the time they just buy more. Arkham is a…

I literally can't remember the last time I used cash. If you're still asking for cash only, you better have a POS. And if you don't have an account with a microfinance bank, what's up with that? Transactions shouldn't…

Scary stuff, but not really due to node spending policies. We still don’t know how fast quantum computers can crack keys. If one finds a public key, they can’t double spend a transaction that's already out there.

And don’t forget, there are groups out there buying accounts for exchanges! Even Binance claims facial verification, but people still find ways around it. Wild.

Yeah, some are just newbs in the space. They jump on everything without a clue. Hype sells them dreams and they just end up screwed.

Seriously changes your life, right? Financial freedom, privacy, ease of transaction... It's the best thing for making payments when your country bans all the traditional methods.

Can you clarify this scenario? When you replied, the purging limit was around 6.21 sat/vbyte, and now it’s down to 4.04 sat/vbyte. If I have a transaction in the mempool at 3.9 sats/vbyte, does it get purged immediately…

What do you mean by effort? Apart from the initial download, which can be done in a few days with good internet, you can set up a node on your PC. Once it’s synced, just turn it off and back on when you wanna use it. If…

Yeah, once your ID is linked to a withdrawal address, they can track everything. Mixing coins doesn’t totally hide it, tho.

You mean like when CZ was shilling Aster? Or influencers pushing meme coins? The crypto scene can be wild and hard to follow sometimes.
