@krakenfx Great! But when will we finally start earning interest on our funds? Other licensed exchanges offer interest even without holding funds in stablecoins. (Since it was removed a while back) Kraken has remained silent on this matter ever since.
@elbitcoinamb Auch das verstehe ich, aber so einfach ist es nicht. Russland hat immer wieder gezeigt das vereinbarungen und Versprechen nichts wert sind. Putin wird dann den nächsten Krieg anfangen wann es ihm passt und noch mehr Menschen werden sterben. Frieden jetzt ist ungleich weniger tote
@elbitcoinamb Okay, verstehe ich. Aber sind wir uns einig, dass diese Dinge auf der russischen Seite (Korruption und Rechtsextremismus) noch deutlicher vorhanden sind? Verstehe mich nicht falsch, es ist in beiden Fällen nicht gut, aber die Ukraine ist bei weitem nicht auf dem gleichen Level.
Overall, the whole situation once again emphasizes that Europe has to do more and I’m not only talking about financial matters. The core issue is as mentioned earlier security guarantees. This can only be achieved with a robust intervention force. European armies have to move into Ukraine and secure the territory. It will give Ukrainians not only the cover for defending themselves, but also give an unprecedented morale boost. It will underline that Ukraine is part of Europe and that we stand together no matter what. It is after all the most important lesson we have received the last days, but also the last 3 years. It is time to act accordingly. This is our responsibility and legacy. (7/7)
I cannot change Ukraine’s position on Russia. The Russians are killing us. Russia is the enemy, and that’s the reality we face. Ukraine wants peace, but it must be a just and lasting peace. For that, we need to be strong at the negotiation table. Peace can only come when we know we have security guarantees, when our army is strong, and our partners are with us.
For years, Bitcoin's energy was much maligned. This was based on deeply flawed and now debunked research.
Now, the tide has turned in the scientific consensus and the media and I've summarized why both now say Bitcoin has environmental benefits in a plain English talk.
It's nice that politicians are pandering to bitcoiners, but promises are cheap. There is a major insurmountable obstacle to the US govt buying bitcoin: The US govt does NOT own or control the US Federal Reserve, which is a cartel of private banks. The US President can't just tell this cartel what to do with their reserves. The US dollar is the sacred cow of this cartel, and it's how they rob the entire planet. They're not about to give up this racket because some politician made a promise whose implications he doesn't understand. They're not going to buy a million bitcoins, because a commitment to purchase bitcoin will just encourage everyone to dump their dollars and buy bitcoin, and destroy the value of the dollar and their ability to rob the world with it. If you think they managed to build this century-old cartel while being stupid enough to fall for this or powerless enough to stop it, you're going to be disappointed to find out they're actually just evil.
But can't the US government buy bitcoin itself, without the Fed? With whose money exactly? The US government is fiscally irresponsible and its biggest expense is debt servicing. There are good reasons your irresponsible debt slave friends never get bitcoin and keep laughing at you when you bring it up. Irresponsible high time preference people and institutions don't understand the concept of long term savings. More importantly, the US government needs the Fed to buy its debt and keep its Treasury ponzi going. Buying bitcoin in spite of the Fed's opposition is a full-on declaration of war by the US government against the Fed and the fiat dollar, and that's just not something that Trump, or Kennedy, is up for. Trump has repeatedly praised the Fed. Kennedy wants to implement some ridiculous low interest rate subsidized home lending scheme only possible with the Fed creating cheap money. These men are not Andrew Jackson, nor are they even trying to be him.
The real enemy of bitcoin, and humanity, is the Fed. The US government is just its tool, and politicians are interchangeable actors that haven't mattered in decades. You're not going to destroy the Fed by promising to vote for one actor over another. Your only chance of destroying it is for bitcoin to grow larger than the dollar and Treasury bonds, and for dollar users to continue to get impoverished into oblivion while bitcoiners thrive with their superior technology. I humbly suggest you not waste time and sats on the politics circus, and work hard to stack sats instead.
@Telekom_hilft Nehmt ihr keine Anfragen via PN an oder warum antwortet keiner auf meine Nachrichten? Wäre super wenn sich jemand melden könnte. Vielen Dank!
The Truth About Bitcoin: A Comprehensive Thread Debunking Common Myths
This last week has revealed that despite growing institutional acceptance, Bitcoin remains highly misunderstood:
- Jamie Dimon claims Satoshi controls Bitcoin
- Vanguard claims bitcoin is too volatile and uninvestable
- UBS claims Bitcoin has no real world applications
In this thread, I revisit Bitcoin's most common misconceptions.
We are still early.
@HATzortzis Yes there are two sides to this and its important to dont look away from the atrocities committed on both sides. But what exactly did you expect when you called him a Nazi? You dont really seem like you want to actually discuss but rather blame.
