@javierbitcoin te preocupa que en Europa se prohíba los exchanges Bitcoin?

Viendo por donde van los tiros en cuanto a privacidad digital, creo que puede pasar más pronto que tarde.

@aka_yuuki_ @Itsfoss We should also ban apps that were coded using electricity because it's bad for the environment.

@edugaresp Cómo puedes hablar tan mal de bitcoin si obviamente no te has gastado ni 30 minutos en informarte sobre como funciona?

[Max Hodler @MaxHodler]

@leonardogorres @kryptomicus @keet_io Yeah, he's been saying that for years. And it's always "soon".

They've lost all credibility.

@LanceMcCollough @BitcoinNewsCom I understand the skepticism but this guy is legit, read more about him and arc.

He's no shitcoiner.

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

GrapheneOS needs a partnership with OEMs to get them to improve their hardware, firmware and drivers to meet our security requirements. We need them to provide us with the firmware and drivers in a usable form for GrapheneOS with the updates we need instead of us depending on getting them from their less frequent OS releases. Otherwise, Pixels will remain the only devices meeting our requirements.

Your claims in the post above are objectively false. Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions haven't been part of the same company since 2011. We have a non-exclusive partnership with Motorola Mobility (Lenovo) and no form of partnership with Motorola Solutions. It would be a poor attempt at scaring people away from GrapheneOS regardless. Most people want us to support more hardware and will choose what they want from the supported devices.

We want to eventually have devices with better hardware security than Pixels rather than the drastically worse security we'd have with any alternatives today.

Se perfila un nuevo impuesto cripto a nivel europeo 🇪🇺

Desde hace tiempo circulan rumores en Bruselas sobre la posibilidad de crear un impuesto europeo sobre criptoactivos, como parte de la búsqueda de nuevas fuentes de financiación para la UE.

@politico publicó ayer en exclusiva un documento interno de la Comisión Europea, filtrado antes de las próximas discusiones del Consejo sobre el presupuesto a largo plazo, que ofrece por primera vez detalles reales sobre las opciones que se están explorando. Las stablecoins usadas como medio de pago estarían excluidas.

Se estarían proponiendo dos modelos, a debatir:

💸 Un impuesto fijo sobre transacciones, con los CASPs como puntos de recaudación y reporte.

💸 Un impuesto sobre las ganancias de capital.

Obviamente las estimaciones de la Comisión ponen a la primera de las opciones como la más “rentable”.

Aún y con todo, hay varios obstáculos para que esto salga adelante:

• Requiere unanimidad de todos los Estados miembro.
• Se necesitaría una base imponible armonizada a nivel europeo (y aquí sí que habría problemas, sobre todo de los países más pequeños que tienen fiscalidades más flexibles)
• Habría migración de operaciones fuera de la UE o hacia DeFi y autocustodia.

Importante matiz: esto no es todavía una propuesta legislativa. Pero sí es la primera vez que vemos detalles concretos sobre cómo la UE está pensando en gravar los criptoactivos.

Personalmente, creo que podría quedar en nada o materializarse en muchos años, puesto que no sería difícil para cualquier ciudadano migrar a DeFi o a stablecoins y evitar este impuesto.

@BitcoinCoderBob I prefer ₿ for sats, and sats should be called Bitcoin.

And what we called a bitcoin today shouldn't be called anything.

That's the most simple and elegant UX.

[Max Hodler @MaxHodler]

@RD_btc you've retweeted a post from @keet_io, but they haven't open source it. Are you blindly trusting them?

There's obviously something fishy going on, why haven't they open source it already?

[Umbrel ☂️ @umbrel]

Nostr VPN is now live on the Umbrel App Store!

It turns your Umbrel into a private mesh VPN, aka you can securely reach your Umbrel and all your devices from anywhere in the world.

Think Tailscale, but with no third-party company and no central control server in the middle.

Huge progress update. We will soon have Cashu Ecash mints in secure enclaves that the mint operator can't steal the Bitcoin from, not can they inflate or manipulate the Ecash supply.

The operator has no access to the private keys of the mint. This is amazing news for users and operators alike.

It allows us to build tools for communities that allow them to run mints without being afraid of malicious actors, internally or externally, such as security threats from hackers.

We're building this for the Bitcoin community first but we're planning to expand this also for local currency communities outside of the crypto space that exist in pockets all around the world. Especially the local currency tech stack is old and antiquated. We're going to give them the most advanced ecash protocol they could ever dream of. For free!

Lots of moving parts here: servers, libraries, backend, wallets, and protocol extensions. Incredible work by the entire Cashu team.
