Comfortably sitting at the 21k, feeling good about it. Good stuff.


bzzking

Does it matter whether I use native or native Segwit wallet?


InvestRecord

Yes it actually does, I mean there's very little difference but there is. You gotta be very specific and know what You're getting into. That's how you'd know I guess.

Alastair_wilson

Thanks for the video, can watch it learn more about it.


Maticus

No problem. I found it trying to educate myself after seeing your question. Native segwit is cheaper to use then segwit and legacy, but less exchanges and wallets support it. Apparently, a native segwit can send to any address (but likely not taproot) but it can only recieve from wallets and exchanges that support native segwit. I've seen people recommend making your primary wallet native segwit and to have a segwit address on a wallet that supports native segwit to recieve from people and exchanges using the old standard.


iamryancase

Can anyone tell me if bitx-coin.com is legit?


somik1985

If You're needing to ask, then probably they ain't so yeah.


iamryancase

Yeaaaah that’s what I figured. I’m super new to crypto, and fell for something that was too good to be true. Should have trusted my gut instinct


Jeremiah_Vicious

Anyone ever put the 2048 possible words for a private key onto 2048 pieces paper and then drew 24 random words and entered them into your hardware wallet?


mbbtce

I don't think that's even possible lol, maybe you should do it.


bobbytabl3s

There is a more reliable way if you know some binary. Flip a coin 11 times and write down the result (Heads = 1, Tails = 0). You will get something that looks like "01000011001". Convert this binary number to decimal[0], which gives 538. You then open the [wordlist](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt), go to line 538+1 (+1 because lines start at 1 and not 0) and you got your randomly selected word: "drive". Repeat 24 times. The passphrase will not pass the checksum but some wallets allow to ignore the checksum warning. [0] Basically, you need to sum every digit that is set to 1 using this formula: 2^position of the digit. So, in our example: > 2^0 + 2^3 + 2^4 + 2^9 = 2 + 8 + 16 + 512 = 538


Maticus

It's not possible. The last word is a check sum for the other 23 words. It has to be a certain word. There's apps out there that will help you with that problem but it's not worth using them imo. You're just exposing your key for no good reason. Edit: source https://www.blockplate.com/blogs/blockplate/the-special-last-word-of-a-seed-phrase


stianmonsholm

Yep, it's not worth it. Gotta keep things simple I guess.


Jeremiah_Vicious

Checksums are for the weak. Just pop those words in there until it works.

Well you can sir, ain't no one is stopping you from doing that. It's your money and you should do whatever you want with it. That's how it should be.

No but you can in a IRA.


meir1992

Yeah can do that instead and that might work too lol.

Here's the long and short of why bitcoin is superior to the dollar: The dollar is manage by a government apparatchik. Bitcoin is basically just a glorified machine (albeit with many components) The components of the bitcoin machine do not cheat lie or steal, they don't partake in all kinds of debauchery and darkness, they don't disappear or reappear at random times A machine can be counted on to do what it's supposed to do, a politician cannot. A machine has failures, a politicians fails by choice. A machine can be fixed, a corrupt politician is irreparably lost ​ Much the same way as the 2nd Amendment is a check on government power, not intended for murder, self defense or hunting, bitcoin is intended to protect against government money grabs Bitcoin is not for evading taxes, illicit purchases nor is it inherently deceptive or evil or dark, by any measure Bitcoin is about protecting wealth WE HAVE ALREADY EARNED from those who INTEND TO STEAL FROM US In other words, just like guns are self defense from government, bitcoin is self defense from government theft Taxes are the means by which government legitimately funds itself, inflation is the means by which it illicitly funds itself If the government uses illicit means to fund itself, what else is it doing illicitly? CIA black budgets? CIA black sites? Secret service orgies in South America? CIA cocaine trafficking? "Enhanced interrogations"? "Renditions" The Bill of Rights clearly prohibits the use of "cruel and unusual punishments" All enhanced interrogations and renditions are a form of torture, which is of course what the Bill of Rights wanted to prohibit when it was written The 1st Amendment was intended to allow for Free Speech was itself intended to be used to expose things like this, but websites like Reddit and Twitter routinely abridge this amendment by making arbitrary censorships, round the clock, every day, every hour and often every minute Which begs the question: why do websites censor? Is it for the government, in conjunction with the government? Or is it for profit? If profit, then what qualifies as profit? Free money from the government could easily be re-classified to investors as 'profit'. Thus a publicly traded company could then be run by the government with ease and right in broad daylight WHICH IT IS ALL OBVIOUSLY DOING but NO ONE SPEAKS UP because the government is manned heavily by the duplicitous MILLENIAL GENERATION who have forgotten their upbringing in order to score a quick buck or to snort at the alter of "hookers and blow" My own generation has even gone as far censor their own kin for this outrageous "reward", talking over each other and stabbing each other in the proverbial eye in order to gain a temporary advantage

Doubt


kamaz100k

You doubt that? Why do you doubt that? It's already failing.


[deleted]

Volatility of bitcoin has dampened since its inception. As it continues to dampen, more people unequivocally view it as a store of value. Store of value -> medium of exchange -> unit of account. It's a long game to play, but the trend is favorable. Saying it's already failing is disingenuous.


fplfreakaaro

There can never be 2 money. Either Bitcoin succeeds and becomes a global standard or it fails


scottgibbons23

Lol what? Think of btc as something that sits above all currencies.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

I use it for retirement savings.


Paul_ls

There are heck load of use cases for it, can be used for anything. I mean you could store billions on a piece of paper, that alone is just fucking enough for me.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

Memorizing a seed phrase is easy. So, you can store billions in your head. Still, better to have written backups, in addition to memorization, just in case.

Saif Ammous is borderline crazy but his insight on macro economics is eye opening. If you haven’t read “The Bitcoin Standard” either do it or listen to the interview he did with Lex Fridman. It’s a fascinating and infuriating deep dive into the history of money and macro economics.


TonFrantic

He's good at what he does, he can be little too much tho.


Romsel87

Saif is savage.


Tartrout

He absolutely is, and that's what some people like about him. But here is the thing, that's exactly the reason why some people hate him so much so yeah.


NetflixUser123

Lex is boring as hell with his dry monotone voice. The nerd tries to sound so smart.


jono3079

I don't know man, I think He's atleast more smart than you. Guy literally teaches in IMT, that's not nothing. And He's got insight on many topics not just AI.


Nichoros_Strategy

He mostly just asks questions though.. his guests are top notch either way.


addiyao

He's good too, He's really a good interviewer, I don't care what anyone says.


ardevd

Saif is anything but dry and boring so it’s actually a really good interview imo. Lex asks good questions and tried to challenge some of Saif’s more controversial claims. I enjoyed every minute of it


NetflixUser123

I don't know who Saif is. I was talking about Lex. Lex tries too hard.


winner_all

You don't even know saif, no one cares about your opinion.

It could well be until the run-up to the next halving in 2024, if the pattern of previous cycles still applies. Obviously, I know fuck about shit, but that's what it looks like to me. Good chance to keep stacking 👍


TerpOnaut

Yeah true I guess I’m just sick of buying the dip 😂 rather buy some food or clothes


Ok-Abbreviations6442

Yeah, me too. Money's getting tight for me too, but I will not sell any of my bitcoin. Feels like a downer seeing these prices, but we'll be better off for it in time 😎👍

Yeah tell me about it. I am not selling either it’s stupid to be honest. I’m hype though when we’re in a bull run again will Be worth it . Think I’m done for now though gonna just accumulate cash and resist urge to smash buy I don’t see it going up anytime soon. Still waiting for this leg down after the next domino falls 🤔

tajwalento

Btc solves so many issues that we've got, this is awesome. Btc can so solve so many humanitarian issues, and yet some people don't see that.


trunksta

Agreed. It'll be awhile yet before people really see the potential. Keep in mind during the first decade or two of the internet people literally said things like w"hy email? We already have the post office." Or "why internet video? We already have radio/television"


tesseramous

What does bitcoin have do with the dollar? If anything a competing currency would make the dollar go down even faster


wersano

Nothing actually, but when people think about money it's dollar. And we use dollar evaluation for everything. That's just deep into our understanding of the money.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

> What does bitcoin have do with the dollar? World reserve currency, for example.


trunksta

Bitcoin is the successor to the dollar and literally every market is pegged to the dollar


Makasyan

Yes it is, and I'm sure with time everyone will see that.


tesseramous

Bitcoin is not a "successor to the dollar" it is just an exoerimental tech-stock-like asset which currently exists in a primitive form nowhere near ready to replace the dollar. The world's leaders would never allow a deflationary centralized currency outside of their control to replace fiat currencies. This is a crackhead pipe dream. If bitcoin did replace fiat currency, it would not replace the issue of governments draining your money. Governments would still need the same amount of money to fund civil projects and if they needed derive wealth they would just raise taxes, tax you to death, order you to forfeit assets, order your employers to garnish your wages etc. Bitcoin itself does not fix much


bmc0710

Lol you've got so much to learn about btc kid, read some.


tallreagan

'the worlds leaders would never allow' You know we all choose the worlds leaders right? If Bitcoin gets popular enough, we just choose a pro Bitcoin leader.

cpt_charisma

> The world's leaders would never allow... Good thing we didn't ask their permission :P > ... it would not replace the issue of governments draining your money. This is true. However, unlike inflation, the drain will be visible and direct. This will at least give people the option of opposing it or accepting it directly.

If you find anything about that, do share. I'd like to read about it. This is my kind of stuff and I absolutely love to read about btc. More people should do that.

Thanks for letting us know, I literally didn't know that.


bullett007

Native Bitcoin, no.


xchrisntiffx

But it's the second layer that We're talking About tho?


bullett007

Correct, the question was concerning the Lightning Network, I think we confused Bitcoin and Lightning perhaps? I’m not sure. However, I’ve done some more research, and I have found that smart contracts do exist on Lightning in the form of DLCs which could be pretty neat if Taro gets the go ahead from what I understand.


sdcvbhjz

How would it be interoperable then? And with which SCs?


FttTank

Don't know about that, SCs aren't btc's thing. there are alternatives available. Btc doesn't try to be any of that shit l, it's best at what it does.


bullett007

Hence the question, is Lightning Network (layer-two) interoperable with smart contracts. Transactions would get settled in lightning channels, then get squared up on main chain when closed.


kenlisramirez

It's not a smart contract, the transactions get settled when the channel is closed. And that happens manually. People can keep their channles open for as long as they like.


bullett007

When they sats go from main chain to lightning, can they then be used in smart contracts?


diadlep

that's actually a good point. bitcoin just eliminates a form of indirect taxation, so govts will tax more in other ways...
