How would you tax someone with BTC in order to pay for public expenses?

will BTC crash even more when americans wake up, what di you think?

> Do you truly think bcash can scale to over 20 million transactions per day
I run the numbers, I know. Did you? LN does not scale, not at all. The only thing working at scale are custodial wallets which is not Bitcoin at all. So bCash can only be better because LN is actually the worst.
>How do you think the network will stay secured when the block subsidy vanishes? Hopes and dreams?
Millions of cheap transactions. Way more likely than BTCS few very expensive transactions.
>My lightning transactions are never more than $0.08, and usually less than $0.01.
🙄🙄🙄 I'm starting to think LN is a low IQ trap... Every LN user comes with this bullshit argument. It works because there is so incredible little usage, or worse your use a custodial wallet. The second usage pics up L1 gets congested, fees rise and LN also breaks down because L1 fees bleed into LN. This is why I do this series. Read the quotes from maxis themselves. This is how LN does not work at scale.
>BCH has failed, just admit it. I can pay with BTC at my local coffee shop, not BCH.
🤪 Get out of your damn Bubble. BCH is everything BTC wants to be minus the branding. Almost everywhere you can use BTC they accept at least BTC, ETH, BCH and LTC. Yes BCH acceptance is smaller, mostly because Maxis refuse to accept it but it works and does not crap its pants when usage pics up. BTC spills users into other solutions every time usage pics up and usability goes down the gutter.
>How do you think full nodes can run in a bitcoin cash world in 20 years?
Same as today. Have you ever asked yourself why BTC does not scale a single byte? Even just the amount of technical development? The 1MB block of 2009 is the 100MB block of today. And there are solutions to make scaling an non issue, XThinner, UTXO commitments, pruning etc.
But BTC sits in its dogmatic bubble thinking it is the center of the world when in reality it is a crippled and assimilated custodial banking network. 95% of all LN wallets are custodial.
Get a grip.

BTC only

Låt oss vara ärliga, det är ju i princip att köpa BTC med hävstång

This redenomination is not about hiding inflation, but removing those zeroes will cut down on inconvenience and infra costs of running the entire structure.
Same with Bitcoin where daily spends are denominated in Satoshis for convenience. X Satoshis in transaction is way simpler than saying 0.0000X BTC

Except if you understood Bitcoin it was obvious what would happen. You can whine all you want, but it was obvious. All you had to understand was p2p and the fact that there is NO WAY there would NOT be truly digitcal money at some point in the near future. Yeah, I've been in BTC since year one, mined with cpu, gpu, fpga and asic.

It’s a discussion forum for BTC, what’s the problem?

BTC will most certainly be replaced with a better, more efficient, more useful version. Likely one developed via A.I. and likely within the next 12-18. Much like how coders and software engineers are quickly becoming outdated.
Do you seriously believe that’s not already being feverishly worked on.

With $20, focus on learning and safety first. You can try buying BNB or BTC on spot, but treat it as practice, not a way to make quick money. Tools like LIFE Wallet can help you safely manage and explore crypto.

Now that Saylor has publicly said what may make them sell their BTC, he's painted a target on his back.

Bitcoin is in big trouble. It is clear that wall street still trades Bitcoin like a risk on asset but everyone is pouring into AI and tangentially related sectors as opposed to crypto. So money is drying up here. And I initially thought that the AI money would eventually go into crypto but it seems more likely that if the AI bubble pops, crypto will go down harder. So basically, crypto is in a nomansland situation right now. If you think that AI will keep on flourishing, mind as well put money into AI and not crypto. And if AI bubble pops, then crypto will go down harder.

Basically, AI to Bitoin is similar to Bitcoin to alts. Alt/BTC ratio will bleed regardless of whether Bitcoin will go up or down. Similarly, BTC/AI ratio will bleed regardless of whether AI sector will go up or down.

Don't forget paper BTC too

Bitcoin isn't a hedge against inflation or a commodity backing for currency. It's humanity's first technology that transforms energy into unforgeable digital scarcity with absolute mathematical certainty. Gold was our best attempt at anti-entropic money for 5,000 years, it doesn't decay, can't be printed easily, and maintains relative scarcity. But gold still inflates about 2% annually through mining, requires physical trust and storage, and can be confiscated or diluted by new discoveries. Bitcoin completes what gold started. It takes the most fundamental resource in the universe (energy) and crystallizes it into monetary hardness that increases over time through halvings, with supply inflation trending to absolute zero.
The hyperinflation question misses the point. Fiat doesn't need to hyperinflate for Bitcoin to win. It just needs to keep doing what it's designed to do, ie lose purchasing power at 2-3% annually while Bitcoin's supply inflation drops toward zero. By 2060, only 26.8 BTC will be mined per month. For miners to earn what they earn today ($1.15B/month), Bitcoin needs to be worth $40M-$120M per coin. That's not speculation, that's network security math. Either BTC reaches these prices, transaction fees explode to compensate, or the network becomes insecure. The halvings don't negotiate.
On the "market cap is too high" argument it means you're thinking about Bitcoin like it's Apple stock. It's not. Market cap is a meaningless metric for a monetary network. Gold is $13 trillion and you can't send it over the internet. Global real estate is $330 trillion denominated in depreciating fiat. Derivatives markets are over $1 quadrillion in notional value built on infinitely printable currencies. If Bitcoin becomes the global settlement layer for value, which is literally what it's engineered to be, you're measuring the wrong thing ie market cap.
The protocol doesn't care who owns the coins. What matters is that the monetary rules are enforced by thermodynamics, not by institutions. People will need Bitcoin to opt out of governments that are debasing their labor into worthlessness. The ones who understand energy and scarcity stack sats now. The ones who don't will learn the hard way, this is what pains me the most.
The inevitability thesis isn't about Bitcoin replacing dollars tomorrow. If civilization wants to expand beyond Earth needs a monetary system that isn't tied to political borders, can't be inflated by decree, and settles in energy rather than trust.
But yeah, asking these questions will illicit some interesting perspectives, we need more of this to really nut out what's happening here.

Honestly it almost makes sense to invest in XMR since it’s much easier to double than BTC, it has a tiny market cap

Bro, when BTC farts every shitcoin meltdown like diarrhea in toddler legs. Stop leveraging, stop playing ball with shorts and longs, stop believiing you'll moonshot with shitcoins. Delusion

One BTC had more buying power yesterday than it did today.
If that doesn’t register, then you’re dumb af.

you repaid your loan by buying BTC with $32k, so now you have 48k USDC and you can take all of your BTC that's worth 40k.
So your current portfolio is 88k

BTC and it ain’t close
