Re: Did Bitcoin Kill Gold’s Monetary Utility?
If a private key isn't created/stored on a isolated (non internet connected) clean and verified as clean system that's locked away in a vault - then it isn't secure. Wrong. Multisig allows less securing of keys, even on mobile devices/Internet computers, while securing the bitcoins in an address. A...

Re: Did Bitcoin Kill Gold’s Monetary Utility?
You can't retrospectively harden a old copy of the ledger (blockchain) that at the time was using older security algorithms/methods that most likely would have subsequently become trivial to de-crypt/hack. Wrong. Bitcoin protocol could disallow traditional spending of coins and require zero knowled...

Re: A worthwhile read for all PP'ers
I've heard of many concerning things in the last few weeks as I am doing my research into crypto in general. Like this huge decentralized thing like ether was basically rolled back by the group that controls it. Tether is a potential fraud. BTC is traded mostly in tether, BTC is concentrated in 100...

Re: BTC in the PP
Here is my opinion since while not a pp user it is a part of my gold budget that flys fighter cover for my portfolio. The problem is we don’t know what bitcoin will respond to ….

Re: Did Bitcoin Kill Gold’s Monetary Utility?
The blockchain records everything, for all time. Nodes provide duplicate copies of that ledger to verify consistency, discrepancies flag up warnings but where the most common/numerously consistent copies are considered as the valid copy.

Re: Did Bitcoin Kill Gold’s Monetary Utility?
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...

Re: PP vs Yield Farming Stablecoin Cryptos?
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...

Re: PP vs Yield Farming Stablecoin Cryptos?
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...

Re: A worthwhile read for all PP'ers
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"...

Re: A worthwhile read for all PP'ers
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...

Re: BTC in the PP
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...

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.
