When I have a problem with someone, I try to address that person. When I make broad-based assumptions or lump people into a group to make a point, it only makes ME look like the idiot.

This pleases me very much.

Hashrate must be through the roof again.

Bitcoin doesn't have a brand problem and we need to stop thinking of ourselves as brand ambassadors.

"Bitcoin has a brand problem" is like saying oxygen has a brand problem. Or food has a brand problem. One day you realize you need Bitcoin and then it quickly becomes all you can think about / talk about / see.

Until then, you don't care or think about it. This is not a "brand" problem.

That's a ridiculous take. How many countless bands write songs only about frivolous junk, like love or partying? Forget that guy. Keep rockin.

Unfortunately they now require KYC/ID verification to withdraw sats. Huge CON. Game Over.

They also now require ID verification for all withdrawals. Maybe Stacker News should start a ‘Stacker Games’ division and put these guys out of their misery.

Have you (or anyone here) ever tried LocalCoinSwap.com? It’s not Bitcoin-only but I’ve had success with it. Your payment goes into an escrow that can only be released to the seller once they send the goods.

This topic makes me crazy. Don't worry about what other people do with their bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't care.

And it's BITCOIN... not BITCOINS.

For me it is succeeding, and so, yes.

Anyone else ever notice their old logo had a stick of 🧨 dynamite in it. I always thought was pretty cool.

I like this. Although Bitcoin thrives when attacked in any way; not only txn censorship. Censoring, rehypothecating, spreading mis-information, double-spending, mining empty blocks... it doesn't matter. Eventually Bitcoin gets stronger, wrecks you, and moves on.

Can anyone truly “own” land? I mean, if your government doesn’t take it from you, eventually it all returns to nature anyway.

How can you tell a bitcoiner from a wanna-be-bitcoiner? Today the wannabees are scrambling to distance themselves from the Trump shitcoin fiasco. Check their youtube & twitter feeds... all posting, "oh, but I just HAD to vote for the shitcoiner because the alternative is so much worse".

Hey douchebags, the alternative is BITCOIN.

Kids are smarter than we give them credit for.

Tokenizing the lost bitcoin was a clever idea. Nice try buddy.
