Indications are that rather than having to have 51% of the total mining computational power that 15% or lower levels might suffice, and with that reducing over time. Well within state sponsored attack potential or to some botnets. Are you saying a 51% attack can happen with 15%? And / or some cripp...

Maybe you haven't checked it a while or it was just an anomaly, but I just checked and the OTM calls that you sell do not come close to being able to pay for the ATM puts. Markets fluctuate of course. Not all trades are available or as profitable at all times. BTC had a big pullback so calls are le...

1. Buy BTC, collar it. Which options exchange are you looking at for such a good deal? Deribit has the most volume and was probably what I was looking at. Delta Exchange can have cheaper BTC options if you are on the buy side. 2. BTC Cash and carry. If you take into account of the spread, then I ju...

Do a short course at a technical/Ag college so you know the basics before you purchase. You will learn soil types, best position / orientation etc Are there online courses that you would recommend? I assume much of land selection is regional so would you recommend in person class in the area that y...

Whats wrong with Coinbase other than your employer blocks it? Just buy BTCs at your house, etc.

Check out these ideas. It is a similar concept but much lower risk (returns are also less in some cases) as you dont have the risk of brand new protocols blowing up (which routinely happen), and counterparty risk is much better as well and can be limited to the CME. 1. Buy BTC, collar it. Buy spot B...

I said "CBDC and regulations" together on purpose. It's less a matter of technical implementation and more about the broad adoption of a system that provides utility. All of the things you mentioned are technical positives in theory, but that people will still "keep BTCs around"...

By 2015 big companies were willing to accept Bitcoin, yet technical decisions prolonged its adoption and allowed countries/governments to play catch up in their own initiatives with CBDCs and regulations. Im not sure how CBDCs compete for market share. See: ... I believe that most countries, includ...

I dont really understand what this means. As in peer to peer BTC transactions could be outlawed. All CEX pairings to be made with a CBDC, all legal DEX's will have to route their trades through a CBDC with CBDCs being the most liquid pairings for liquidity pools. All compliant wallets would route t...

I dont really understand what this means.

A official, regulated, audited state approved/sourced alternative will sooner or later be provided and regulations applied to prohibit the use of unregulated, unaudited alternatives on the basis of being used for illicit activities. Whilst Btc may not totally vanish without broader trust/acceptance...

it could be that bitcoin and CBDCs cannot co-exist and that it is inevitable for bitcoin to cross the thresholds where it will be shut down. It would be interesting to explore what you think about this. I think the US government can do things that slow Bitcoin adoption or affect the price. But I do...

> Wouldn't BTC, as an anti version of ALL of that above be a clear afront/enemy/problem/way-to-circumvent/etc to CBDCs? Ja, which is why companies, now dependent on gov to carry them through lockdowns, won't be allowed to accept BTC. Forget accepting it, US corps probably wont even be legally allow...

Bitcoin will crash and burn. It's just a matter of when. It's nothing like gold. Gold/Bitcoin have some differences and similarities: Durability : bitcoin and gold both strong here. Portability : bitcoin is digital thus much more portable than gold. Divisibility : A single bitcoin can be subdivided...

I think that is already a certainty, but I don’t see it as a response or acknowledgement of btc as a dollar threat if that’s where you were going. Ok so if CBDCs are coming and CBDCs are for: Monetary supply manipulation, complete surveillance, complete censorship, Government controlling your tax r...

I think the US government recognizes the benefits of embracing bitcoin outweigh the risks (if any) to them. The bitcoin network is only resistant to attacks from non-economic actors and so the only entity in the world that it isn't resistant to is the US federal reserve because they control money t...

A good testing ground however for pre CBDC, let others take the risk of ironing out security flaws before adoption/rollout of their own version. What do you see in common regarding the code/tech/features/incentives/game theory/goals between BTC and some USD-CBDC? AKA: what is there that could be re...

Okay can we get back to personal crypto portfolios? I like Bitcoins in my portfolio. Ill throw a couple alternate ideas out as well. 1. Buy BTC, collar it. Buy spot BTC and then sell a call against it and take the $ from that sold call and buy either a put spread or puts. Example for September 2022...

LTTs and Gold seem wildly speculative to some folks. But they have track records. I largely agree with this, ofc. But keep in mind their track records could actually prove to be very dangerous. If long bonds begin to correlate with stocks (which I believe is happening more and more), and gold stops...
