For sure bro for sure. Bitcoin doesn't even have a executive to send into congress to explain it lol. That's how I know who to trust, whoever is in and around the Senate Banking committee. Yep.

It's just a 1099 for crypto exchanges. So if you've ever filed a 1099 with a brokerage, it's basically the same. Most tax software will do it automatically.
The only issue is if you sold out of self custody via an exchange that did not have your cost basis information, then the 1099-DA could be wrong. Otherwise just let the tax software do it and verify the output.

Whenever the topic comes up people seem very unclear on what is actually at risk (ie exposed public keys). They also seem to mix up the cryptography keypair discussion and instead keep using the word "encryption" in reference to hashes and mining. So maybe I'm just an idiot but I don't think most people know what they're talking about.
I agree we should discuss what is happening with exposed pubkeys.

Gen Z seems to lack savings and financial literacy partially due to the understandable financial nihilism you point out. Yet bitcoin is also pretty ubiquitous to them and probably oftentimes considered not very far out on the risk curve.
I wonder if statistically that makes them more likely to save in bitcoin, or less likely because they'd rather gamble 100x on shitcoins or options

Yeah but instead of just being able to lie and say "I was going to zap you x amount" you should actually have to zap, but it goes to a configured default for some donation wallet or something, then you can't lie about what you would have zapped.
So I'd be like, "I tried to give you 10k sats, but your zaps aren't configured so I donated to autistic kids instead, which is the same result"

Assuming I understand your question, no the implementation can be different as long as the consensus rules are followed. The only thing is that if you have lots of competing implementations, I believe you can get accidental/unwanted forks in the chain.

Whenever I hear Charles speak, I just think about how his arguments almost sound reasonable if you were someone with no background in any digital assets or markets. Like he might actually sound quite convincing.
Once you understand even the basics of what bitcoin is, or how the shitcoin market works, the same exact words sound utterly retarded and slimy.
I love how in the first clip he's like "bitcoin can't decide what it's for, it isn't for anything", then lists off like 3 major active use cases, framing it as a negative because it "can't decide what it is". So disingenuous and dangerous for people to hear that stuff presented seriously.

No, just use a passphrase. Trying to digitize a backup is asking for trouble. Just use a passphrase, if someone finds your seed, they can't do anything with it unless you compromise your passphrase at the same time.
Multi-sig is honestly overkill for almost all individuals imo. Only if you want multiple entities holding keys.

Hi @nprofile…0pev I know you're working hard. I have unlocked sats which were already withdrawn, so they are not mine. It is not my full balance but it is 40k sats.
When you have time, you can take those 40k sats from my account, put them back into the bucket going to other depositors. If it helps find other withdrawals that were perhaps missed, the withdrawal I did was May 9 at 9:33 PM Pacific Time.
