@stephanlivera Is this true? "Influencers who live in the UAE require government permits." abc.net.au/news/2026-03-1…

@WaltherPeck @robertrobichet9 Poison squared, thank you very much!

@robertrobichet9 There's nothing funny about financial snake oil. Bit-CON is poison.

Bit-CON is just over 15 years old and its biggest supporters already admit that it has a liquidity problem. This will only get worse as the population increases. Get out while you can.

@pcfactos @ventry089 Domicile your bot in a different jurisdiction.

@ventry089 is possible to use polymarket with vpn? i live in NY and here is ilegal....

I made 4 bots kill each other for my money gave each $500 and said "in a week one survives" bot 1- copies whales. just mirrors top-5 wallets bot 2 - contrarian. waits for crowd to be 80%+ confident and bets against bot 3 - scalper. catches delay between binance and prediction markets bot 4 - weather guy. trades only temperature. three meteo models, enters when all three agree stats for 7 days: day 1: scalper ahead. +$180 others around zero day 2: nothing interesting day 3: contrarian caught skew on sports market. +$740 on one trade. took the lead day 4: scalper started dumping. delay shrank, edge gone. $500 → $310 day 5: weather guy silent for 4 days. then made TWO trades. both profit. +$420 day 6: whale copier steady in the middle. no fails, no highs. boring but alive day 7: scalper dead. $82 left results: contrarian - $1,740. one explosion decided everything weather guy - $1,120. two trades in a week copier - $780. survived but unimpressive scalper - $82. corpse the dumbest bot won. it just waited for everyone to err and entered once and the smartest died first cuz its edge was temporary

@RealRorySailor How so?

I really love this but it's still a vote and it counts towards the party already in power.

@1770 @AusBTCIndBody @JEChalmers @AngusTaylorMP @AFCA_org_au @jeffyew_ Nothing, other than the extra paperwork. It is probably an okay option for rollover funds when setting up, but not really an option for DCA of regular contributions. @mineracks wrote a piece on the process on his substack: blog.mineracks.com/p/how-to-buy-l…

@AusBTCIndBody @JEChalmers @AngusTaylorMP @AFCA_org_au Saw a good comment by @jeffyew_ too - What is stopping people from utilising in-kind Bitcoin ETFs to redeem BTC?

Do you feel it is within the remit of a bank to require the trustee to tell advise them what % of the SMSF is allocated to Bitcoin? Noting, that the bank will not permit the transfer if you refuse to answer. This is not OK. @JEChalmers | @AngusTaylorMP | @AFCA_org_au | @APRAinfo

@1770 @AusBTCIndBody @JEChalmers @AngusTaylorMP @AFCA_org_au @AinslieBullion That’s a costly way to do it.

@AusBTCIndBody @JEChalmers @AngusTaylorMP @AFCA_org_au Side step their tactics - Buy Gold first and flip that into BTC with someone like @AinslieBullion 🥊

@pete_rizzo_ It wasn’t so easy back then. The available software kept the wallet.dat file containing the private keys unencrypted. Cold storage was a major hassle.

15/ ALLINVAIN’s biggest mistake was that he kept his keys unencrypted on his computer. His hack is a reminder to always keep your private keys written in a secure OFFLINE location Even some of the biggest names in Bitcoin have suffered similar exploits

He bought #Bitcoin when it was just $0.01 He mined over 1,000 $BTC per day The true story of ALLINVAIN – who lost $1.4 BILLION in one of the biggest unsolved robberies in history 👀

@HodlAy @NWQLD @EthanBitcoin Where in the legislation on personal use assets does it mention 14 days?

@NWQLD @EthanBitcoin It looks as though there is indeed the personal use asset exemption, which appears to be less than 10k and used within 14 days. What's not clear is whether that refers to that specific BTC purchase, or whether they weigh it against the date that you started stacking Sats.

I gave this a crack today. Effortless to load. Effortless to use. Fiat wise: I’m not sure yet of what the tax implications are, fee structure, nor tracking availability, but for those that have a few Sats stashed away for a rainy day, you now have the option of sending them back when needed straight onto your visa debit card and never have to use a bank again. Bitcoin wise: I know we all should be pushing second layer apps to drive adoption, but this is an easy option in the interim. Also, for those that don’t have a “Sats stash” they’d still have to replenish their Sats via a bank of some description. Yin, Yang. @BitarooExchange #Bitcoin

@FrostsnapTech These look 🔥.

@lopp @DarinFeinstein How?

@DarinFeinstein "Setting up a #Bitcoin account, until Binance opened in 2017 was the digital version of a game of Russian roulette." Ser... 😬 It sounds like you still haven't learned your lesson and are placing all your faith in Binance. I had a MTGOX account, but I lost nothing. Ask me how!

On April 17, 2013 I entered the email confirmation code into Mt. Gox and set up my account, sending them #Bitcoin valued that day at $68.36 per #Bitcoin. It would be almost a year before this #Bitcoin would be lost. I had an account at Bitfloor.com prior to Mt. Gox, that Bitcoin was lost. I had accounts at cryptsy.com, gone, btc.e, gone, and a few others. All in I lost millions of dollars at the current price of #Bitcoin and was part of 3 class actions trying to recover the #Bitcoin I had purchased since joining the space in 2012. Setting up a #Bitcoin account, until Binance opened in 2017 was the digital version of a game of Russian roulette. I was in Wuhan in 2017 meeting with Innosilicon (ASIC manufacturer) then flew to Beijing to meet with Bitmain and the US Ambassador to China at the US Embassy to try to get them to support Bitcoin, and finally flew to shanghai to meet with CZ in late 2017 before I moved my #Bitcoin over to Binance. The Binance office was small but I could tell CZ was looking to build value and he was talking about moving to Japan which made me more comfortable. Since that day Binance has never lost a Bitcoin from a customer and all the lost #Bitcoin on large exchanges even FTX have seen significant recoveries. Today the Mt. Gox #Bitcoin is being sold and #Bitcoin has "crashed" from mid $60,000 range to the mid $50,000 range. If you are new to this space and have not had to witness complete chaos for the first 8+ years of #Bitcoin, this drop seems meaningful. It is not. When #Bitcoin was under $100 the entire world laughed at us, few would talk to any of us, and fewer viewed us as serious people, I had thousands of conversations with people that considered everything I said a joke. Now you have ETF's, governments Hodl'ing, billionaires and Presidents supporting, and an understanding that this asset, #Bitcoin, is never going anywhere. Since Jan 3, 2009, In the ~5,661 day history of #Bitcoin only few percent of days have seen #Bitcoin have a price anywhere near this price, and in terms of global support it has never been more significant. Everyone of you is going to be just fine. And what is still massively undervalued about #Bitcoin is that the immutable ledger that #Bitcoin runs on is infinitely more valuable than the #Bitcoin itself, the ledger blockspace is still not priced in. The #Bitcoin only have value because the rails it runs on is the most important accounting ledger of all time and the only true record of history in humanity. Take this opportunity to enjoy the 4th in this great country, and know this artificial #Bitcoin movement is a chance to buy more.

@farmerjen55 Congrats! Very happy for you two!

@carri_cee abc.net.au/listen/program… @carri_cee is on at 29:35. Thank me for the brain cells I lost having to listen through that nonsense to find the sound bite. Some ill-informed takes on there.

LOL. I just got onto #ABCRadio talkback where they were discussing 'crypto'. I got as far as saying #bitcoin was different from the other 20-30,000 cryptocurrencies and that it was created as a way to counteract the government money-printing which was debasing our currency and purchasing power, before they cut me off ROFL.

@carri_cee @cluborange abc.net.au/listen/program… @carri_cee is on at 29:35. I feel dummer for the hour I spent trying to find her snippet.

I just rang in to a talkback show. They cut me off within 30seconds when i started down the track of 'bitcoin is the antidote to gov money-printing which debases our currency and purchasing power of our dollars' LOL Sorry. haven't tried to find the link. I think it would take some digging.

Where would we all be without @cluborange Someone heard me trying to bring a bit of perspective into the "#bitcoin is just a gamble" conversation on #ABCRadio yesterday and reached out. The thing that irritated me so badly about the conversation was that the lead host was clearly so proud of knowing nothing about it, laughing and joking while saying "it's just gambling". She hadn't done 10mins research to find out the first thing. This is why i don't MSM. It's full of ignorant numpties who don't even pretend to know anything or offer the truth. Anyone who knows anything about anything or has experienced a news event and then seen the coverage, knows they're full of sh*t.
