BTC & XRP ... Jesus & Judas?

I thank you again for the article you shared with me, masterful… thanks to you I just opened my eyes to many things. How did I think of putting XRP next to BTC? Ignorance?.. I will keep looking for information. I think I just entered through “The Rabbit Hole”.

Thank you very much, I already downloaded it. As soon as I have a chance, I’ll read it.

Please, keep in mind that I am an elderly man... new to the crypto world... I would appreciate serious arguments .. or at least links where to find them... I am interested in knowing everything possible.

XRP and BTC are two of the most popular and widely used cryptocurrencies in the world, but they have some significant differences in terms of their design, purpose, and performance. Here are some of the main points of comparison:

- Technical aspects: XRP and BTC use different consensus mechanisms to validate transactions on their networks. BTC relies on a proof-of-work system, where miners compete to solve complex mathematical problems and earn rewards in BTC. This process is energy-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in high transaction fees and slow confirmation times. XRP, on the other hand, uses a consensus network, where a group of trusted validators agree on the state of the ledger and process transactions in seconds. This method is more efficient and scalable, resulting in low transaction fees and fast confirmation times.
- Social aspects: XRP and BTC have different communities and visions behind them. BTC is seen as a decentralized and censorship-resistant form of digital money that challenges the existing financial system and empowers individuals. XRP is seen as a bridge currency that facilitates cross-border payments and integrates with the existing financial infrastructure. BTC has a loyal and passionate fan base that values its innovation and independence. XRP has a diverse and pragmatic user base that values its utility and convenience.
- Adoption aspects: XRP and BTC have different levels and types of adoption in the market. BTC is the most dominant and widely recognized cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion USD as of April 2023. It is accepted by many merchants, platforms, and institutions as a form of payment or store of value. XRP is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with over $60 billion USD as of April 2023. It is used by many banks, payment providers, and corporations as a settlement asset or liquidity source.

In my opinion, XRP and BTC can coexist and complement each other in the cryptocurrency space. They serve different purposes and cater to different audiences. They also have different strengths and weaknesses that can balance each other out. For example, BTC offers more security and decentralization, while XRP offers more speed and efficiency. I think there is room for both of them in the future of digital finance.

A certain trader who is quite followed in Latin America says that XRP is the Judas of cryptocurrencies, from my limited knowledge I completely disagree with his opinion. What is yours?


 It is a Bitcoin address to which more than 13 bitcoins have been sent, but they will never be recovered. This is because the address does not have a private key associated with it, and therefore it is impossible to access the funds. Some think it is an experiment, a joke, or a way of burning bitcoins to reduce the supply and increase the price.

How much are sats worth to you?

Undisciplined

Saudações … Muito grato pelos sats, sempre bem-vindos … lembrarei de você quando o Bitcoin chegar a $100k. Espero que tenha um ótimo dia

I am starting in this world of BTC and crypto, maybe that’s why I jump for joy every time I receive a few sats in my wallet. For me, it’s worth knowing that I’m using a revolutionary technology that few people use, and that will end up being accepted and adopted by the majority… But for now, I feel like a pioneer, and besides, I’m 53 years old… It’s never too late!

 Did the beast wake up? How far and how long will this movement be?

Eppur si muove 

No tengo problemas con seguir usando Bing para traducir de ida y vuelta, pero ....  
Que viva bitcoin carajo!!

Does anyone speak Spanish here?

What’s up with the Bitcoin magazine app on Twitter? No updates?

You can withdraw, but with the linked wallet, with invoice it remains pending... search in the withdrawal options and choose wallet by default. It seems that now without a minimum, I am withdrawing 5 sats daily, I am not leaving anything there.

I've been reading about the upcoming US presidential election and the candidates' views on Bitcoin.

There are different opinions among the presidential candidates about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Some of them are openly supportive of Bitcoin, such as Robert Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis. Others are more skeptical or critical of Bitcoin, such as Joe Biden and Donald Trump. And some have not expressed their stance clearly yet, such as Nikki Haley and Chris Christie.

Therefore, it is hard to predict whether the next president of the US will be pro Bitcoin or not. It may depend on many factors, such as the public opinion, the regulatory environment, the economic situation, and the geopolitical context. However, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has become a topic of interest and debate in the US politics, and it will likely continue to be so in the future.

What do you think about Bitcoin and its role in the US economy? Do you have a favorite candidate for the next president? I would love to hear your thoughts.

The owner of the work was a fan of cryptocurrencies. He had invested all his savings in bitcoin, hoping that its value would skyrocket with the next halving. But there was a problem: the builders who worked for him did not share his enthusiasm. They preferred to be paid in euros, and did not understand why they had to accept a virtual currency that fluctuated so much.

One day, the owner of the work had an idea. He decided to hide the cement blocks that the builders needed to raise the walls. He told them that he would only give them one block for each bitcoin they paid him. In this way, he thought, he would force them to use his favorite currency and increase its demand.

The builders were puzzled. They did not know what a bitcoin was, nor how to get it, nor how to pay with it. Some tried to negotiate with the owner of the work, but he refused to change the conditions. Others searched the internet for information about the bitcoin halving, but only found technical and confusing articles.

In the end, the builders got tired of the situation. They decided to leave the work and look for another job. The owner of the work was left alone, surrounded by cement blocks and bitcoin. He hoped that the halving would raise the price of his cryptocurrency, but what he did not know was that the market was full of speculators and manipulators. On the day of the halving, bitcoin collapsed and lost more than half of its value.

The owner of the work realized that he had made a serious mistake. He had lost his workers, his customers and his savings. He regretted being so greedy and hiding the blocks from the builders. He realized that bitcoin was nothing but an illusion, and that the only real thing were the cement blocks. 



I miss you

- What does a bitcoiner say to his wife when he dies? - Don't worry, honey, I'll leave you my private key. - What's that? - It's what you need to access my bitcoins. - And how many bitcoins do you have? - About 10,000. - And how much is that worth? - Well, it depends on the day, today about $500 million, tomorrow maybe nothing. - Oh my god! And is there any way to change them into real money? - Yes, of course, you just have to find someone who will buy them from you. - And is that easy? - Well, not really, most of the platforms are down or hacked, and the ones selling on the street are either scammers or thieves. - So what do I do? - Well, just wait for the price to go up and pray that you don't forget the key. - And what if I forget it? - Well then you've lost everything. - Oh no! And is there any way to recover it? - No, none. That's the thing about Bitcoin, it's very secure but also very cruel.
