Yeah I’m Canadian. We’ve have ETFs years before the USA. I’ve always held my BTC in an ETF, mostly because you can do it in a Tax Free Savings Account so tax free profit. Whereas pure BTC you cannot. Choice is obvious. Plus I’m a dumbass that really can’t be trusted with the keys.

> usbc is going to be the standard 50 years from now..it isn't Unless battery technology changes significantly, USB-C will still be perfect for all devices smaller than a desktop computer. Same goes for wall sockets. USA wall sockets are 120 volts with 15 amps or 20 amps. Those wall sockets are very likely to continue to be used 50 years into the future unless something absolutely revolutionary is discovered. Small devices don't need more than 48 volts. I really doubt that would change in 50 years. Why would small devices in 50 years from now need more than 48 volts? If anything, technology evolves to be more efficient with what it has. Not less efficient. Raspberry Pi 5's and laptops can be powered with USB-C. A futuristic device that does tons of random things, like some hypothetical combination between a coffee maker, alarm clock, humidifier, computer, keyboard, tablet, and toaster all in one could still be powered with just a USB-C cable unless you are running literally all the functions at the same time. USB-C is really a god send in power delivery negotiation in either way up a huge amount of watts. The only thing that possibly needs to be fixed is making sure every device that has a USB-C port has them clearly marked if they want to do video transfer. That isn't the fault of the cable though, that's on the devices. Only older USB-C cables that don't support 100 watts might need to be junked.

The strategic reserve is temporary. Between the USA's ridiculous spending and the fast changes in government nobody can say what will become if the coins they hold. It wouldn't surprise me at all if government ineptitude ended up burning the coins or more likely they're heisted.

Good-Hand-8140

Nice write up I didn't catch this news. I appreciate no AI or article copy paste. Also the movie2k vase is new to so so I'm going to look into it. Honestly, the strategic reserve has really created an incentive structure for the USA gov agencies to go after various criminal organizations around the world. DNMs, Scam compounds, Russian/European stealer/ransomware groups and other crypto scams. Idk how that impacts the market, must be good right? Only ones I haven't seen hit is DPKR (obviously) and russian drainer providers. I don't know why, maybe the drainer providers are too small of a fish (7-8 figs) to attempt to extradite theme from Russia?

ahfoo

That statement is pulled out of your ass. Solar panel recycling is global. In bumfuck USA this may be true, but the EU recycles 80% and China claims even higher figures

dimwittedude

To answer the first part, from my POV PoW is not ethical. We can't "waste" energy and all the work that comes in with the production of energy, to "mine" something that produces no real good and can be replaced with something like PoS. Having said that, the concentration problem that you mention is at the end of the day the well know 51% attack. It would still require country like levels of money (USA, China).

UAP44

the USD is by far funding the most wars/violence/deaths/killing I bet you how many countries did the USA invade and get away with due to the proper PR force in place to make it all look justified in the west?

MContent_Official

When youve got out, as few years later, they'll bring it in and legalise it. Kinda like Trump putting on tariff's on anyone buying Russian oil and gas, so the price tanks and then Trump buys Russian oil and gas for the USA market. They hate and ban anything until it suits themselves and their own pocket.

Lawyer? I’m not from the USA I even tried reaching out through CFpB that was not supported in my country and explained everything Still they closed my complaint

In USA gains from every trade are taxed, tf u talking about :D

I imagine it has to do with it being an official reseller and not being in the USA or Europe, but se Asia . Almost certainly will be opened at customs because of tariffs giving a vector for tampering.

> Do you mean the smart contracts that get hacked about once per week? I'm not aware of ANY of the major ETH staking pools that have been hacked. Lido Finance, Rocket Pool, StakeWise, etc all have never been hacked and have multiple auditors > You're trusting the contract to allow you to get your coins back at a future date. Having confidence in open source, heavily audited code (and you can audit it yourself too) is not "trust". Trust means having some sort of blind risk or belief without evidence. Open available code has zero trust required. Or even if you do define trust that way yourself to include open source code, then guess what bucko? BTC requires "Trust" then too, by the exact same token that it's open source code that you need to believe works securely. > You absolutely do NOT have full custody when you put your ETH into one of these contracts. Entering into a contract is non-custodial. You do not give up keys, nobody else has control over your tokens except in the ways explicitly outlined in the contract, which you're fine with, since you looked at it and agreed. And these contracts do not allow anyone to go do a 51% attack or blah blah. > Got it, you're worried about a hypothetical future. A guaranteed future by basic laws of supply and demand shown to work for hundreds of years. If a coin doesn't do halvings, then it's a bit more unsure, but with halvings like bitcoin, it's blatantly obvious and guaranteed. > Energy could be purchase in Kazakhstan for pennies of what they're paying in USA, so clearly this is not about energy cost The profit margin just isn't slim enough yet. With more halvings, it is guaranteed to get slimmer, at which point you MUST go to kazakhstan at some point to literally even be able to mine without taking a loss. E.g. if the energy price difference is 4 cents per kwh between the two places, and the margin on mining is only 3 cents per kwh spent mining, then mining in the place that's 4 cents more expensive becomes impossible. Not "non preferable", *impossible*, as you would lose at least 1 cent per kwh not make any profit at all. > Yes mining gives you influence over consensus, but buying a PoW coin does NOT. So what? Again, the equivalent to staked coins is ASICs. Talking about owning PoW coins is simply off topic and has nothing to do with anything I'm saying. Who cares?

The USA sold confiscated Bitcoin.

Idk man. College is a scam for a certain degree but some profession like Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer and Accountant REALLY need a college to survive. Profession that require more than : Trust Me Bro basically. Plus not sure how it was in the USA but most of the times, those who are in this fields have a scholarship. At least in my country's Uni. 9 out of 10 local student were under scholarship.

Bobbsen

That’s not true at all. Resellers exist outside of the USA lol

No-Masterpiece2246

I guess you've never heard about online black markets? Seems clueless for a tech bro. Estimates are $10mil per day which isn't much, but they're growing steadily. You have no use for them because you live in a place that doesn't have a heavy-handed government, USA (yet). But think about where things are going with tariffs and exports. Right now there are people exporting thousands of tons of goods thru 3rd countries like Vietnam, the shipping container gets a new sticker on its way from China to avoid tariffs. The world is transitioning to war footing before your eyes. You need to expand your horizons beyond Trump vs the Democraps. The era of abundant cheap shit from China could be over soon. We're seeing high inflation and industries like farming on bordering on closing down. That means shortages and skyrocketing prices. Black markets will surely evolve when emergency measures like price controls appear. Why do you think gold price quadrupled in 4 years? Confidence in the global fiat system is eroded. People with money are scrambling for the exits, and those without means will be plowed under by inflation.

No-Masterpiece2246

Do you mean the smart contracts that get hacked about once per week? I'll pass. You absolutely do NOT have full custody when you put your ETH into one of these contracts. You're trusting the contract to allow you to get your coins back at a future date. And history has shown time and time again that this isn't a guarantee. I won't rule out that they could work reliably in the future, but we are nowhere near that point yet. >**if** mining all happens in a few countries over time Got it, you're worried about a hypothetical future. POW miners quite naturally know everything there is to know about energy costs, jurisdictions, crypto regulations, etc. and they choose the optimal region. That doesn't create any centralization risk at all. USA has become a popular place for miners. Energy could be purchase in Kazakhstan for pennies of what they're paying in USA, so clearly this is not about energy cost. It's more likely that they're taking investment from Wall Street and prefer to not have their hardware stolen by some corrupt government. This could very well change with an incoming crypto-hostile government in 2028. Then the miners will move just like they did when China banned mining or when the hydro dam in Ethiopia went dry. Naturally PoW mining happens all over the world, since different places have different needs for crypto. El Salvador and Bhutan are building sovereign stashes of BTC, Russia is trading oil on the black market, Iran is sidestepping sanctions, China is avoiding tariffs, etc. That's hardly centralization. You completely missed my point about buying coins vs mining them. Yes mining gives you influence over consensus, but buying a PoW coin does NOT. Buying ETH however DOES give you influence over consensus, which is precisely why PoS is dangerous. And running ETH nodes is far more expensive than BTC node plus an ASIC.

MunchieMofo

Chances are, if you need to pay 10 K in cash, a lot of people will figure out how to convert to stablecoins to avoid any bank fuckery like this. In USA anything 10K over triggers anti-money laundering stuff, requires forms for the feds to log, etc.

EnvironmentalAct7209

I agree, but it spreads risk away from a single government entity. for example, if you live in France or USA etc. you are subject to the monetary consequences of poor governmental decisions related to their debt, borrowing, and currency devaluation. If France collapses and their currency implodes bitcoin can pivot to a new nation rising to global power, bitcoin can survive. Whereas one single nation’s currency historically has not survived that in my mind is the big advantage in terms of diversification.

No-Masterpiece2246

look up wash sales. Illegal with stonks in USA. Also tax loss harvesting

Jfish033

There is no fairy tale safe world. Humans are in every country and fight and kill for thousands of years, its not a country issue, its a human issue. The USA also gives away so much money for humanitarian reasons. Give an take situation. Your free to invest in other countries. African water wells are popular.

No-Masterpiece2246

I guess you fell for it, lol? USA debt-to-GDP ratio is utterly untenable and the Fed system is reaching the end of the road. Many will say that hyperinflation is not only inevitable but an actual policy goal as we translate to a global cashless digital ID hellscape. Is that what you meant by "full faith and backing"? But feel free to be a USD bagholder. You do you.

etaoin314

Is it really propaganda to suggest that compared to a random ass stablecoin, the full faith and credit of the USA, and a digital representation of the most liquid fiat currency ever to exist is a upgrade in legitimacy? The most conservative stablecoin workable would essentially be 100% bonds backed, but you would trust that over the issuer of the bond itesef? getthefuckoutahere.

The EU debt to gdp ratio is lower than that of the USA. This is 2025 data, so before the US went crazy with the money printer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt-to-GDP_ratio

Personal-Time-9993

I don’t believe the media and government narrative. Iran wasn’t a threat until provoked. Sure, they do horrible things to their citizens and women but is that a USA honor bound duty to step in and save them from that? No, America first was supposed to mean no new wars… less foreign conflict and focus on the homeland. It was all a facade. Iran can’t develop any nuclear technology but 8 other countries excluding the US have a total of 7,145 nuclear warheads? This includes Russia and China. Even North Korea with an estimated 60. Was this just another attempted oil grab or what?

EstablishmentPale419

I'm not expecting it to hit 1m by 2030, but I also wouldn't be surprised. The more the USA weaponizes the dollar, the less valuable it is as a reserve currency. How many countries do we have to completely devastate before the world collectively decides that they don't want to have that happen to them? Imo they're already transitioning away from the dollar given how hardly anyone even buys our debt anymore.

xanif

Decided to stalk OP's post history, even some now deleted comments/posts. He decided to share a post of his winnings a couple days ago on another sub. When people were asking him how to stake in the USA his suggestion is: VPN + Fake id. I'm scratching my head wondering why coinbase is saying this is sus af.

I should think it's obvious that I'm not saying "borrowing at any rate is good". Note that not everyone lives in the USA. Currently I could borrow at 7.1% on an unsecured line of credit (I won't be.) That said... >So you're saying that you predict that Bitcoin over the next few years will exceed 12% in its average annualized increase? Yes of course.

A government elected by idiots will be a government of idiots…The Netherlands is no different from the USA for instance.

Don’t forget that gold was repossessed too in USA to empower fiat. So if we all crowd in btc and they want your money depreciating to keep you chasing the carrot they will.

Oh, make no mistake, our good old USA government is most definitely sodomizing is financially. It’s what governments do, however, as long as they can keep the workers fighting each other instead of the real enemy… them… it works for them. The people have the power, but it seems like a bridge too far for us all to get Tibetans hold our leaders feet to the fire. You are 100% correct sir!

That sucks, how can they tax you on unrealized gains? And to think… half the dolts in my country… the USA… are excited about Socialism. There is just one of a very, very, very long list of why it is a bad idea. Governments suck!

Funny how when you ask someone from the USA where they're from, the specify the state. Yet when it's where they're going, 'Asia' and 'Europe' will totally suffice in their minds.

15438473151455

I think you're ultimately looking at entirely different issues here. On the infrastructure side, do have a look at the website. It has a wealth of resources. You even bring up healthcare. I think most people know what very obviously makes the USA unique in that! "I would like USA localities to stop homesteaded property tax entirely, and engage in “Municipal Enterprise” to make a profit and provide a better life for its residents rather than parasitically taking it from the earnings of its own people." What countries do that with no housing / land tax? Saudi Arabia?

ruthless_techie

A larger population means a larger tax base, more talent, more economies of scale. If scale made good systems impossible, big companies and big countries would all be dysfunctional. They're not. Healthcare, housing, and subways are not managed at the continental level. They are managed by cities and states. Singapore is 5.9M people. NYC is 8.5M. LA County is 10M. California is 39M with a $4T GDP. If small size is the secret, why doesn't a single US city or state pull off a world class metro, public housing, or health outcome? If scale was the problem, we would have at least 1 or 2 futuristic pilot cities. We have zero!!!! Singapore is the 2nd busiest port in the world, 5th largest financial center, and handles ∼20% of the world's transshipment. It's small but it runs a system that the entire world relies on. That's the opposite of insignificant. Think about what you're actually arguing. You're saying the US system breaks down at scale, so we'd be better off as smaller countries if we want Singapore level results. Scale isn't an excuse. And the fact that we spend more per capita for worse health and infrastructure isn't "running at scale”, it's just running poorly. Dismissing a country that does a lot right because it's small means we learn nothing. I would like USA localities to stop homesteaded property tax entirely, and engage in “Municipal Enterprise” to make a profit and provide a better life for its residents rather than parasitically taking it from the earnings of its own people.

15438473151455

What? You're comparing the infrastructure on a city state of 6 million people on 744km2 compared to the continental USA with 341 million people on 3,530,000km2? Sure, I ?agree with you. I would expect a compact city state with strong laws to be more efficient in infrastructure costs. [https://www.strongtowns.org/](https://www.strongtowns.org/) provides good commentary on infrastructure costs and efficiency if you're interested in that. Getting back to the point, because suburban towns don't get the same "bang for your buck" you want even *less* infrastructure to be provided?

ruthless_techie

Right but when we get with those taxes isn’t quite adding up in the USA. Vs a low corruption country and what citizens in say Singapore get back from what they pay out. However, the benefits we supposedly receive in exchange for property taxes could be covered by competent “Municipal Enterprise” where localities actually make a profit and use that to provide better living for its residents, rather than being borderline parasitical.

ruthless_techie

Yeah, over there you don’t need cars nearly at all. Infrastructure is top-notch, and the experience is like night and day with the USA being as if you time-traveled into the past. We aren’t talking about glossy brochures here. The ones that do make it to the USA end up going back once they find out how this place works under the hood and get bored of driving. Calling it a nanny state is dismissing how inefficient the USA is with its tax collection and spending. Not sure you are making the point you think you are making. It is a capitalist country just like we are. They have just learned from our mistakes and work fast to mend them. Corruption is incredibly low. The USA could learn a ton by looking into how they solve problems.

ruthless_techie

You sure there are no facts behind it? An acceptable reply from you would be to ask where I am getting my info. And I would have led you to municipal bond fraud whistleblowers and investigations. You put alot of words in my mouth there about not liking taxes. Depends what we get in return for them. If we look at the amount we pay, and then look at a place like singapore and what they get for theirs, something here in the USA isnt adding up. I didn’t say taxation was theft. In and of itself I was implying that taxing a persons homesteaded property on a potential valuation not realized is borderline theft. When it comes to paying for services and infrastructure, you might want to get familiar with something called “municipal enterprise”. Where a city/county/state actually produces something for revenue to better enhance the lives of its residents rather than relying on taking from the hard work of them.

Roads are paid for with gas taxes, license & registration fees, and tire taxes. Trash services are billed in most areas of the country. Police fire and schooling is associated with municipal bond fraud and needs to be audited all over the USA. The amount paid for valuation on a property not yet sold does not add up to the services provided. Look into investigations into municipal bond fraud and youll get an informed understanding.

ruthless_techie

Because municipal bond fraud and property tax valuations supporting the ever rising interest is rampant all over the USA. As for driving. Roads and such are paid for with gas taxes, license and registration fees, and tire taxes. And should not be included in the rest that you mentioned. Fire, Police and schooling needs to be itemized, and seperated from municipal bond interest to find out how much is being stolen from us.

StrategicallyLazy007

That's your point of view, likely living in the USA with cashapp and other methods to funds. Now put yourself in the shoes of someone with family overseas. They can transfer Stablecoins abroad for less than a penny compared with Western Union rates to send money back to family. The stablecoinac may be spent or changed to Fiat relatively easily in most countries. Or, look at Iran, previously in South Africa and other countries where you couldn't get your money out, into a currency that you consider safer than the domestic currency etc.

Bticoin is really the only hope for the USA to get out of debt. No way it happens at 5% interest per year. They need a 5x on bitcoin value to make a dent in that debt. In the end you are right BTC is the only hope for fiscal sovereignty of the USA.

Looking at what just happened in Venezuela, we see that some survived by using crypto. The USA has had 2.8 percent inflation recently. Believe it or not Venezuela had 649 percent inflation. Four to five million people had to leave their country for other countries like Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, etcetera. Some stayed though. How did they do it? Believe it or not, they played Runescape. https://reason.com/2026/05/09/in-runescape-venezuelans-can-have-economic-freedom/ And some traded the Runescape gold for crypto. Some just used the Runescape to escape Venezuela and its socialist dictator.

People are generally on a need-to-know basis when it comes to Bitcoin. If they’ve already done pretty well for themselves—or more likely their parents did pretty well for themselves—then these are the people least likely to understand bitcoin, because they just don’t need to. There’s absolutely no issue explaining Bitcoin to citizens of a country with >20% monetary inflation in a year to year basis. Similarly in the USA, it’s much easier to explain Bitcoin to people who actually have to adjust their budgets on a month to month basis based on the skyrocketing prices at their grocery store. The problem is that these people are often living paycheck to paycheck, so they have no real ability to save anything away into Bitcoin. In my experience, the demographic most able and willing to get orange-pilled is the professional class. High income, the more humble the beginnings the better because their poorer parents might have instilled in them the idea of savings over investment. In the past 60yrs, savings was a horribly bad idea compared to investment, because whatever money you squirreled away just had its purchasing power debased to high hell. Now, with BTC we have a chance to beat the investors in terms of risk adjusted returns.

Uldregirne

You know nothing about how inflation works with debt. You take out a 100k Loan to buy a 100k item. Pretend it's interest-free to make the math easy. If in 10 years, inflation hit 34% total(1.03\^10), you now own an asset that is worth 134k and only owe 100k. Obviously, this is oversimplified, but if you have a 20-30 year mortgage(or treasuries) the effects can be quite significant. In the late 1800's and in the Great Depression Farmers/politicians explicitly called for increased inflation to reduce the debt burden. About 30% of the USA's governmental debt reduction after WW2 was due to inflation. We have a far better idea of how much bitcoin there will ever be (21 million) than we do of the amount of money printed by our governments. Yeah, that number could change via consensus, but that is unlikely. Ownership of bitcoin is also outside of the existing financial system, so the government can't just seize it(without the seed phrase). You mention gold as an alternative in another comment, which at one point was literally all seized by the government. It turns out the US courts have decided that computer code is speech, so Bitcoin has more protections.

Why would China's invasion of Taiwan tank the crypto market? USA's Iran operation caused some disruption but the dump came first. Will not be surprised if China invading does cause economic slowdown and turmoil.

Do automatic buys on River if in USA or Strike if elsewhere. After 1 week there's no fee. You can do tiny, small or big amounts, weekly, daily or even hourly. Do an amount that's small, that you won't miss, that you won't have to start and stop frequently. When up to 0.01-0.02 btc, transfer to cold storage and leave it there for years, preferably decades. Don't buy, sell or trade. Any interruptions introduce timing risk and interrupt compounding.

If you’re in the USA, get a Coinbase account and get the Coinbase One card. You’ll start off getting 2% BTC rewards. It’s an amazing way to DCA. Between monthly BTC buys and your BTC DCA credit card rewards, you’ll move up to the 2.5 and 3% tiers within a year or so. Then, within 5-10 years, you’ll have a whole BTC or more. Then, wait and continue to stack. If you need to liquidate it, it will be there. If you don’t need it, just continue to add to your rainy day fund

How about USA, not China?

It's not all about the USA

-Zeleios-

Because nobody cares about USA

Everything the forefathers of the USA envisioned!

Clarity act is voted or not, who care? This is the first time in the history of this world that the USA can't get its hands on (control) something.

So scarry mist people will read right past it! Last year, in the first half. the top 10% of the wealthiest families in the USA. Consumed (bought and paid for), over 50% percent of all good and services sold and rendered in the USA. In the first half of last year. Yes. Read that again. When I first read it I had to read it a second time too, heck I'm still trying to process what that really means. Its unprecedented. It's 100% true and in my opinion it simply cannot be a good sight of. Anything to come. It scares the $"#* out of me just thinking about that actually means and where this is all going.

Yeah i mean each country will probably have its own set of rules and it would be nice to see the USA set a reasonable standard for that but its just going to take time. This really is about restructuring the financial system so i hope they do go slow with it.

The problem is that Trump is the most divisive president in the story of the USA. The guy blames or talk shit about the other side every 30 seconds. He will never get to pass anything that requires Democrats to vote with them unless is something that is absolutely clean and good. With the politics of lobbyist and personal desires of the politician this will never happen. They always add some crap to benefit themselves

Fickle_Penguin

trump, twice-impeached president, convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records with intent to defraud, adjudicated liable for sexual abuse, and the subject of allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors, is bad for crypto and bad for the USA. Can you give me one thing he's done right this term?

Exactly why we need to end cexs, legalize dexs in the USA

You are brainwashed. Politics don't matter to Bitcoin, it's unstoppable now anyway. Also there is more to the world than the USA, fortunately.

By the way, didn't USA already given security guaranteed, during that agreements years ago when Ukrain was convinced to give up nukes?

Yes, pools and corporations are different, of course. As for your comments about miners being more centralized in 2017, just plain untrue mate. If you mean by region, that's fair. 2017 was China dominated. But by pool? Nope. Here's the facts: |**Metric / Feature**|**📌** The 2017 Landscape|**⚡** The 2026 Landscape| |:-|:-|:-| |**Top Pools by Hashrate**|**AntPool** (\~17%)[**BTC.com**](http://BTC.com) (\~16%)[**BTC.TOP**](http://BTC.TOP) (\~13%)**ViaBTC** (\~11%)**Slush Pool** (\~7%)|**Foundry USA** (\~26%–31%)**AntPool** (\~18%)**F2Pool** (\~13%)**ViaBTC** (\~10%)**SpiderPool** (\~9%)| |**Centralization Index**|**Highly Distributed:** The top 2 pools controlled less than **30%** of the network.|**Highly Concentrated:** The top 2 pools control roughly **45%–50%** of the network.|

If the USA announced a nation wide comelplete ban on owning bitcoin, enforceable by being criminally charged, I think you might realize you're wrong fast

Wealth at top was way more concentrated in the USA in the 50's. The history moving up to gold standard is a great topic to argue.

So, what you are basically saying is, "If you cannot produce the exact answer to how Bitcoin is going to tackle the Quantum Computing conundrum RIGHT NOW, then that means Bitcoin will fail." So, let's think this through, shall we? As Quantum Computing develops the ENTIRE WORLD will be at risk (NOT just Bitcoin). Bank accounts, Investment accounts, NSA databases, your dog's PetSmar account - pretty much everything. To presume that "everything else will find a solution, but Bitcoin will be left behind" is pretty much ridiculous - after all, Bitcoin is a crytographic algorithm and as the "answers" to more secure cryptography (that can confront Quantum Computing) emerge, Bitcoin will also evolve. Banks are centralized, but NOT over the ENTIRE world. There's the Fed (in the USA), the European Bank, the Bank of Japan, etc.... They are NOT united in how they approach things, their policy or ever their goals. According to you, these banks will all upgrade easily. Seriously? BRICS would like to see the US$ replaced. How exactly are they going to suddenly "unite" and "upgrade". It is far easier for Bitcoin to "upgrade". Bitcoin is ALREADY a world-wide protocol. In only 15 years it has "united" people throughout the world on accepting the Bitcoin protocol as the mechanism to store and transfer value - spanning across nations and languges. Good luck getting the countries of the world to unite on their banking in any way even close to that! Your argument reminds me of the Y2K panic ("because the computers of the world cannot handle the Jan. 1, 2000 calendar date, every computer in the world will shut down and cease to function at midnight). The world started talking about this "event" years in advance. There were plenty of nay-sayers. They told us "the world would end as we know it." Businesses and individuals paid billions (or maybe trillions?) of dollars to pay people to upgrade their computers for this perceived technology crisis. In the end Jan 1, 2000 came and went and the world did NOT shut down. Humankind and technology "found a solution" and no one even talks about this anymore. It's the same thing with Quantum Computer (or any new/improving technology). We adapt and move on. Bitcoin will be no different. So stop being a "nervous Nelly". When you really think about it, the real amazing thing about Bitcoin is that it DOES work and it works incredibly well and it's only 15 years old! The current monetary system is a mess and give a huge advantage to THAT centralized monetary system (at the expense of all the people who do NOT own that monetary system). Change is coming, no matter what. Might as well be ready for it.

Iran says 2,447 who weren’t enemy combatants and blames Trump and the USA for stoking unrest. Which is believable, as Trump was actively calling on Iranians to rise up and overthrow the government, so it isn’t a leap that the CIA was back channeling that. I’m not excusing the actions of the regime, just wanted to know who is counting and the guesses vary wildly from 6,400 to 40,000 odd. I see 10,000 said so many times in support of America attacking, it just feels like a lousy and flimsy reason as the attack had nothing to do with Iranians getting killed by their own government.
