I was always wondering what's the difference between Apple Pay and Google Pay. Now I know: Google knows about every f*cking payment you make, while Apple doesn't. More about Apple Pay:

Nikdy by mě nenapadlo, že budu sdílet video Andreje Babiše. Ve kterém mluví o kryptoměnách. A to tak famózně, jako ještě nikdo před ním v politice nemluvil. Nádherně mu to napsali a podepisuji každé jedno slovo na 100 %. Čeští tzv. "pravicoví" politici se mají ještě co učit.

As more people are asking: @TREZOR is not vulnerable to recent Meltdown and Spectre hardware attacks, because it has processor not affected by these. Also our firmware is always signed, so the device never runs untrusted code. Using a hw wallet is now more important than ever!.

As usual, @coinbase shows its incompetence in big style. While there are transactions with fee as low as 1 sat/byte being mined right now, they still use non-Segwit transactions with fees over 100 sat/byte. DON'T USE COINBASE!.

I am a big fan of $LIBRA. It's well written and the documentation is great. It has a potential to replace Ripple, Stellar, Ethereum, all Stablecoins, etc. For every other usecase when truly decentralized and uncensorable network is required, there will still be #Bitcoin!.

Stop using @coinbase, they are ignorant, irresponsible and incompetent. Withdraw all your coins now, later you might not get this chance when this rotten VC empire falls appart. Tell your friends about other ways how to get into #Bitcoin. Don't keep that just for yourself!
@JackMallers @ziggamon . and they're already back with 9,000 fresh 450 sats/byte transactions! @coinbase please implement batching and segwit!

Finally a VPN that makes sense!. The setup is as follows:. <user> - Obscura Server - Mullvad Server - <internet>. • Obscura sees your IP but does not see the traffic.• Mullvad sees the traffic but does not see your IP. And of course you can top-up your account with ⚡.
Today is the day: Obscura VPN is NOW AVAILABLE!. @obscuravpn is the first VPN that:.- CAN'T log your activity by design.- Outsmarts network filters. We believe Obscura sets the standard for a new generation of VPNs, and hope you’ll check it out!. 👇 Links + more in thread

Proof of Stake is how Fiat works. The ones with most stake control the validation rules and they receive a reward for doing so. Once you acquire a large stake, there is no way for smaller players to take you down. Proof of Stake is not a step forward. It's a step back.

The Canadian government is justifying its action of freezing the protesters' bank accounts. Remember, without the freedom to transact, you have no other rights!. Do you still think you don't need #Bitcoin in this world?.

Congrats on this. Seriously. @VitalikButerin . The regulatory attack on Ethereum has been successful!.
We reached another sad milestone in censorship: 51%.This means if the censoring validators would now stop attesting to non-censoring blocks they would eventually form the canonical, 100% censoring chain.

Stop asking for various #Bitcoin forks. We all get more if we focus on Bitcoin ecosystem. Its value will then grow organically. Look at BGold, you got less than 300 USD/BTC, but meanwhile 1 BTC went from 7500 to 8200 USD. Forks cost too much effort which is missing somewhere else.

That was fast. The #LNTrustChain torch has been passed to @pavolrusnak, CTO of @SatoshiLabs/@Trezor. He was the first to broadcast the invoice from space to my satellite dish via the #BlockstreamSatellite network! ⚡️🔥⛓📡🦁 @hodlonaut @slushcz

Computer Science 101:. If there was a secure way to handle 0-conf transactions, we wouldn't need a blockchain with proof of work at all. We would all just use the mempool. But there isn't because a transaction can't be immediately propagated to all the mempools on all the nodes.

Great analysis by @LaurentMT! Segwit or Lightning would not help Coinbase to solve their UTXO problem. But big blocks would. That explains their recent anti-Bitcoin behaviour.
For example, this entity ( is a wallet controlled by Coinbase. To date, it owns around 203 BTC split in 1,464,545 utxos !.With BTC at $15.8k, it means $3.2M with an average utxo value of 2.2$. #DustInTheChain.

Not sure what is worse; people in control of Ethereum changing the supply as they wish or that 72% of all ethers were premined.
"Back in 2016, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin projected the supply won’t cross 100 million in the foreseable future – not until the next century at least." . This level was crossed about 4 months ago. That's your Central Banker, my fellow altcoiner!.
