  • Verifone, one of the US biggest providers of card terminals and ecommerce are partnering with Bitpay so customers can pay with Bitcoin and a few other Crypto's at no cost to the retailer.

    Soon you will be able to buy pretty much anything in the US with Bitcoin - probably take a while to bed in but this is big news for adoption.

    El Salvador brought their volcano mining Bitcoin node online. Adoption everywhere. Powell: "We have no intent to ban cryptocurrency." Gensler reiterating support for Bitcoin ETFs. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (US Congress):

    Have you researched the good congressman? (I know how much you hate people who are too lazy to do their own research).

    This statement is not even close to the most ridiculous thing he's ever said.

    I don't particularly care who he is. He's republican, so by definition he probably has a lot of views I disagree with.

    But, he's not the only pro-crypto person in congress. 4 years ago the anti-crypto narrative was that governments would ban it and now there are congressmen and women, the fed/sec saying the exact opposite.
  • Thought you will be interested in this. Beating fake news and fake propaganda about Bitcoin.

    I think there will be a few days retracement and then it should start to move upwards again. Still think that Oct/Nov will be really good across the market. I'm just happy to be back in profit again on BTC, first time since about mid May.

    Genuine question:  for those knocking Bitcoin, do they (consciously or not) substitute "cryptocurrency" (as a whole) with it, or not?  In other words, are those not in favour of Bitcoin also not in favour of other cryptocurrency projects, or just Bitcoin?  I know the title of this thread is specific but some posts appear more aimed at the crypto space in general, hence my question.

    Just wondering whether any anti-BTC are more bullish on alternative projects, perhaps those that are aiming for the scalability/TPS targets more akin to fiat monetary systems, or smart contract/app networks, or something else.  E.g. Proof-of-Stake projects like Ethereum 2.0, Cardano, Polkadot, or hashgraph projects like Hedera, etc.
    Oh and see you at $100k BTC in a few months. Peace
    That was on 13th April 2021. Six months down the line, BTC seems to be at around $59,000

    So it's gone basically nowhere in that time, other than down a lot and back up again.

    Need another "few months"?

    No one knows the shorter-term direction... Longer-term it's appearing to only go one way...
