Bitcoin Forum / US wants to know bitcoin electricity usage in the country
« on: February 02, 2024, 04:23:36 PM »
I first saw it in Twitter:

BREAKING:  The Biden Administration has issued an "emergency" data collection initiative to identify the electricity usage of the #Bitcoin mining industry in USA

Then I saw it on the news: https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-crypto-mining-electricity-survey-energy-department

It is a six month mandatory survey.

Let us hope these people are not trying to come up with something.


I have first posted this on Bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483892.new#new

This will not make the use of exchanges to be necessary.

But people may think it will not be centralized and no kYC will be needed, but that is a not true is my guess. I have not done it before but I am sure that KYC will be needed before you can withdraw crypto into fiat.

Anyone knows about the fee? I guess exchanges might be better.

I think I will prefer P2P.

News related to Crypto / Altcoins and their centralization
« on: January 30, 2024, 03:06:42 PM »
I am referring to Floki this time.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has warned users about Floki staking program, saying 30 to 100% annual profit seem to good to be true.

Floki has banned Hong Kong-based users from joining its staking program.

I am disappointed to here something like this. Most coins are centralized in one way or the other. Probably interested users may be able to use VPN or TOR but I do not know.

Bitcoin Forum / Bitcoin ETF ads on Google search engine
« on: January 28, 2024, 08:02:07 AM »
Some news and tweets on platform X about Google to allow bitcoin ETF ads on Google search engine. One of the ways people were scammed through phishing scam in 2023 is through Google ads.

I am thinking that for bitcoin ETF, Google will only allow the ads from a trusted companies like BlackRock and Grayscale and other 9 companies that SEC approved their ETFs already.

But Google search results are where scammers are many with fake ads, is this a step forward for scammers to begin using fake Google ETF ads to look firy who to scam?

Regardless, it is good to avoid those Google ads generally.

I am surprised to see this today, that a monero transaction in connection with the criminal trial of Julius Aleksanteri Kivimäki and the Vastaamo hack was traced.

Read the news from https://cointelegraph.com/news/finnish-authorities-traced-monero-vastaamo-hack

I am thinking this is not about monero but that users mistake or lack of knowledge to make a transaction like that untraceable can be made.

What do you think?

Or if there is no other option, I make a purchase at CEX so that it will not be affected by the considerable tx cost.
buy using Fiat and hold it at CEX for a while and then transfer it to a personal Wallet when fees are low.
You do not know why they are called CEX? If you have been studying how the centralized exchanges are doing, you will notice that if the fee is getting high, they will take a fast response to increase the fee on the CEX, but if the the fee reduced to 1 sat/vbyte, it can take the CEX many months before they will consider to reduce the fee but in a way the exchange withdrawal fee will still be very huge than the network fee. You will only notice that you will continue to keep your bitcoin on centralized exchanges over long time and probably until you want to spend it.

The bitcoin network fee is really affected by the BRC20 but there is nothing that we can do because this is bitcoin developers doing. This has made many people not to find it easy to move their coins to noncustodial wallet if the amount is small. Some coins are sent to wallet but not moved out because of the huge fee. It is just like the fee is making the centralized exchanges more relevant in holding coins but with risks of getting hacked and people not having complete control.

This was on the news since 21st December of this year. 63000 people were affected. There would be many or some that were not known. We all know that Google ads can be used by scammers to locate who would become their victims. It is good to avoid ads generally because they can be used by scammers. Do not click on ads. Visit the correct URL.

Some people say cryptocurrencies are like a big guessing game, similar to the wild times of the dot-com era. They point out how the prices of these digital currencies go up and down a lot in a short time. These critics also say that most cryptocurrencies don't have any real value supporting them; their worth is mostly based on people speculating and getting excited about them.
They fail to understand that if they say cryptocurrencies do not have value, that there is nothing in this life that also has value. It is humans that makes everything to have value. If a coin is selling at certain price, having a market cap just like physical assets, they also have value.

But there are some coins that are worthless, that are shit coins. We can not say those kind of coins have value.

They also talk about Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), where companies raise money by creating their own digital tokens. Critics think this is a sign that the whole cryptocurrency thing is a bit like a bubble. They say many ICOs don't have a solid plan or product, and they rely on people getting really interested in cryptocurrencies.
This is true. That is why we need to research on a new project before investing.
