Refusing to give police your crypto seed phrase is now a criminal offense in Hong Kong 🤯
On March 23, Hong Kong updated its National Security Law
Police can now demand the password, PIN or seed phrase to any electronic device
The punishment if you refuse?
1 year in prison and a $12,800 fine
If you give them a fake seed phrase or the wrong password the sentence goes up to 3 years and a $64,000 fine
This doesn't just apply to residents
Tourists, business travelers, even people connecting flights through Hong Kong Airport
Self custody just became a crime in one of the world's biggest financial hubs

@bitdov @IdealDabeleza01 @livecoinsBR A solução pra isso é comprar ou vender XMR usando dinheiro em espécie
Mas só funciona pra pequenos valores
Português
@IdealDabeleza01 @livecoinsBR O problema foi a parte fiat, os reais na conta. Isso XMR não resolve infelizmente.

The problem is Bitcoin adoption feels like it peaked in 2021.
I don’t know a single person who actually accepts BTC as payment.
Tesla, Inc. used to accept it, not anymore.
And the privacy issue makes it worse.
How am I supposed to use Bitcoin for payments if it’s fully traceable and one data leak away from making me a kidnapping target?

Bitcoin is at the same levels it was 5 years ago while the overall stock market has nearly doubled.
Say whatever you want about Bitcoin, but its performance has been total shit for quite a long time now.

@ki_young_ju Hey @grok
Under US law, would it be legal to freeze or even burn someone else’s BTC in a fork just to make the network “quantum-proof”?
Curious how that would hold up legally. 👀

Hoje mais cedo, quem foi rápido multiplicou o capital com zero risco. Como?
No mercado de "quem vai anunciar a candidatura presidencial", o NÃO do Mr Beast estava custando 0,89.
Acontece que ele tem 27 anos, e é necessário ter mais de 35 para se candidatar à presidência. Quando a notícia circulou, o NÃO foi para 0,96 em algumas horas. Ou seja, 8% de ROI.

Estou pensando em abrir um grupo para jogar notícias assim em primeira mão e dicas do Polymarket. Alguém animaria entrar?

This is why we need Monero

NETHERLANDS HOUSE PASSES 36% TAX ON UNREALIZED GAINS As expected, the Dutch House of Representatives has approved a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains, with only forward loss offsets permitted. The proposal now moves to the Senate, where parties that supported the bill also hold a majority, making final approval likely. Critics warn the measure could disrupt long term investment strategies, weaken compounding effects, and encourage capital outflows. Several right leaning parties had publicly criticized the proposal in advance, but most ultimately voted in favor, citing fiscal constraints and the cost of delaying or revising the plan, stating "we don't like it either but we have to".

Não parece mas o nosso mundo hoje é radicalmente mais moralístico do que nos anos 60/70/80.

Not only that, it might be the only currency today that can actually shield you from state control.
Bitcoin is fully traceable. An easy target for the state, especially if you bought it through KYC.
Think about it
If the state can see it, it can control it.
And never forget
the state holds the monopoly on violence.

@CallingMrBenzo @NorthstarCharts You mean Monero?
Monero's not a shitcoin it's the only coin that's can't be tracked for payments
It's almost exclusively what's used for payments in dark web drug marketplaces
It's also why it's banned on like half the exchanges
English
Is Bitcoin going to make a cyclical, lower low versus gold for the first time ever, causing a major structural breakdown?
Northstar@NorthstarCharts
I'm often asked where & when Bitcoin will bottom out & when to get back in (if you exited). My answer is this... ALL Bitcoin bull markets are found when it's ABOVE it's 50-week moving average & in a bull market versus gold & SPX. Until then... grow your wealth elsewhere.

@NickSzabo4 What about privacy?
Currently, physical gold offers far more privacy than Bitcoin.
Could Bitcoin's privacy be improved?
English
Bitcoin is, currently, a little bit less expensive than physical gold for individuals to self-custody (custody costs and risks) and far less expensive and quicker to transfer (validation/assay costs and risks and global settlement).
Bitcoin is so far neither considerably cheaper nor more expensive than gold for institutions to hold, because of the trust/control issues involved in institutional custody.
Technology can make Bitcoin considerably cheaper to self-custody, both for individuals and institutions, but that is a set of technologies that are slow to mature, not widely understood, and require very different kinds of institutional trust/control support that are even less well understood, as well as otherwise overcoming the long institutional habits of Wall Street and banks to centralize custody.
There's considerably less room to improve self-custody and validation costs for the 6,000 year old technology of gold -- not impossible, just less room for improvement.
This means that the current emabarassing centralization of Bitcoin at mega-custodian Coinbase is a temporary phase in Bitcoin's bumpy path to maturirty, whereas centralization of gold in bank vaults is unlikely to change much.

@bitdov A única solução que eu vejo pra isso é comprar Monero usando dinheiro em espécie e depois trocar por Bitcoin
É a melhor forma de manter um certo nível de privacidade e manter o seu dinheiro longe dos olhos do leviatã
O problema é encontrar alguém interessado em vender

- Tome, jegue! 💥estala o chicote💥
Na prática, estão empurrando mais gente pro P2P, pro mercado cinza, pra troca voluntária entre indivíduos com incentivo econômico para ambas as partes. Além de subir o custo geral da cotação "oficial" do BTC com o possível novo arrego estatal.
