#BITCOIN
“The internet is not a good idea” -Newspapers
“Email is not a good idea” -Post office
“Television is not a good idea” -Radio stations
“Streaming is not a good idea” -Blockbuster
“#Bitcoin is not a good idea” -Central banks
“almost every cross-border payment passes thru one of just 15 banks” per @GeoLeib’s book. And, as @transferwise’s recent Fed comment letter showed, 2 US banks have ~50% share of the ACH payments market. Regulations made the biggest banks bigger.So ripe for disruption…

TIP: Don’t be Ignorant
Stop using Bitcoin and Crypto interchangeably because they aren’t. Any politician who can’t seem to understand that needs to be voted out. Any journalist who can’t write about this correctly stop reading!
#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrencies #Bitcoin Price #Investments #Markets #Market Analysis
#Bitcoin is the first global, private, digital rules-based monetary system in the history of the world. It’s funny how people still don’t get it. Just sit down and think about it for a minute.
Q Why is blockchain so important?
A In order to make an immutable ledger.
Q Is there any other implementation of blockchain that can’t be reorged or rolled back?
A No. #Bitcoin is the only one.
Bitcoiners are an actual community that cares about the civil rights of people by building nodes to support the network. NO other coin has that.
Len Sassaman and Satoshi: a Cypherpunk History
https://evanlhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c85c2b10
Len was a true Cypherpunk— equal parts brilliant, irreverent, and idealistic. He devoted his life to defending personal freedoms through cryptography, working as a developer on PGP encryption and open-source privacy technology, as well as an academic cryptographer researching P2P networks under blockchain inventor David Chaum.
Gensler isn’t trying to regulate anything he just wants the power and to keep get appointed to run the Fed. He knows the CFTC is in charge of Bitcoin. Congress needs to pass legislation and tell Gensler what they want.
There are a few proposals in front of them now. According to a Bloomberg report, the proposed bill includes guidelines and overarching regulations on taxation, stable coins, and consumer protection. Furthermore, the bill proposes a new regulatory group that combines top financial regulators in the U.S.—the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

In the 1940s, things like radio and vacuum tubes were fairly new technology. To keep the edge in WW2, the Army had to teach farm boys with a fifth grade education how to repair radios. If you want to learn electronics, the Army did an ELI5 on it 80 years ago. #ElectronicsTwitter

DuckDuckGo caught giving Microsoft permission for trackers despite strong privacy reputation
As reported by Bleeping Computer, security researcher Zach Edwards posted on Twitter that “while DuckDuckGo blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running.” The company explains that “this issue is occurring on browsers and only pertains to non-DuckDuckGo websites.”

Tests showed that the browser allowed trackers related to Bing and LinkedIn domains while blocking all other trackers. Edwards’ thread got the attention of DuckDuckGO CEO Gabriel Weinberg, which said the browser intentionally allows Microsoft trackers third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement with Redmond.

Beat The Market By Investing In Freedom – And Shunning Places Like Russia And China
On a visit to Shanghai, Tolle befriended a woman named Maggie. Both were 23 years old, but her new friend’s dark backstory shocked Tolle. While Tolle had enjoyed a suburban upbringing in Plano, Texas, Maggie lived in the shadows. She had no birth certificate, no school or hospital records and no safety net. To the Chinese government, Maggie didn’t exist. She was one of tens of millions of kids victimized by the Communist Party’s one-child law, in effect from 1980 through 2015. Because her parents already had a son, they concealed her upbringing.

Now Jamie Dimon says it’s better than real estate. Took this criminal bastard long enough. JPMorgan Says Bitcoin Is Undervalued By 28%, Cryptocurrencies Are Now A ‘Preferred Alternative Asset’
In a note to clients issued Wednesday, the bank has also stated that it is replacing real estate with digital, or crypto, assets as its preferred alternative asset class along with hedge funds, citing “potential lagged repricing” in private equity, private debt and real estate. Alternative assets typically refer to investments that aren’t stocks, bonds or cash.
