  • Self-custody is a big topic, but stablecoins on Lightning is interesting. However, stablecoins are tied to central entities like Tether or Circle to maintain their value. Even if they’re on the Lightning Network, they…

  • Langalis is definitely a key figure in Bitcoin's story. He showed a lot of courage, and I'm sure it opened some eyes to Bitcoin for the first time.

  • Old money definitely doesn’t trust Bitcoin. It levels the playing field, and they can’t stand that. New money sees the opportunities, while the old guard just gets scared.

  • So true! BTC being less volatile is a sign of growth. But if smaller price jumps become the norm, it might not excite investors as much anymore.

  • Talking about conspiracies shows a total misunderstanding of how balance sheets work. This company needs high prices to maintain credit ratings and buy more coins.

  • Cuban’s just like any other celeb lying for self-interest. Bitcoin’s proven strong during crises and wars. I just ignore the noise from these influencers.

  • Lol, same here! I sent $100, and they also asked me for proof of payment. Just ridiculous. I thought it was funny too, just for that small amount.

  • That’s definitely an older IDE connector. They were common before SATA became the norm. Just make sure it’s got both power and data cables before trying to connect it.

  • I feel you! New ATH really makes you wanna cash in for something nice. But waiting usually pays off... sometimes the biggest gains come to those who hold out for a while longer. With no old resistance levels, Bitcoin…

  • I feel like splitting the seed isn’t ideal. If you have one half, you only need to guess six more words instead of all twelve. That’s a massive drop in security. Why not use Shamir's Secret Sharing or multisig? Both are…

  • Totally agree. BTC was still up today despite the chaos and it’s hard not to talk about its potential in these moments.

  • Yeah, Bitcoin's price dropped a bit recently, but come on, it’s not a huge crash. We have to keep things in perspective. People panic over small dips, but they forget the bigger picture.

  • I’m not super confident with stablecoins, but I’m diversifying. USDT and USDC can’t both collapse at the same time, right? So splitting the funds seems safer.

  • I don't get what the fuss is about. The author is just overhyping this. Remember SegWit? We moved funds then, so it's basically the same thing. Just shift your coins and you're good. Exchanges manage this stuff all the…

  • Right? The Bitcoin price isn’t going to crash just because of a government shutdown. This is just a hiccup and the market knows it. People are worried about the dollar's stability, so they’re looking to Bitcoin as a…

  • Congrats on the PC! Seems like Newegg is just cutting costs on Bitcoin payments. It’s a great way to get more people involved in crypto.

  • Yeah, use intermediaries if you can. They’ll send you cleaner money, but the traceability is still there. Gov can ask for info from them. Not foolproof.

  • Why not share a pic of your blanket? I’d love to see it. At least it’s not a sweater with a seed phrase on it, right?

  • Bitcoin gives you full control over your funds via a decentralized, math-driven system. Unlike fiat, which can lose value because governments keep printing, Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. It’s real wealth…

  • People keep saying Bitcoin is super secure, but if quantum tech breaks it, then everything else is in danger too.
