“Visa Becomes First Major Payments Network to Settle Transactions in USD Coin (USDC)”
https://twitter.com/jerallaire/status/1376493343476187138?s=21

Not a single mention of Bitcoin in his tweet thread and nothing about Bitcoin on the entire article? How this could be huge or even a news? Doesn’t crypto.com already partner with Visa? So accepting USD Coin how will it make a difference?

“Support for digital currencies as a new type of settlement currency marks an important step forward for Visa’s network of networks strategy”

Does he mean to say Visa will be accepting other coins but settlement of all the coins will be in USD Coin?

Looks like just for the sake of winning back the trust of existing customers they are trying to step into this. They are too afraid because sooner or later they will start loosing customers.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still in the $5xxxx range but creeping higher... currently $58188USD/$73311CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

$60k soon? A new ATH shortly after that? $70 within a week?

Go Bitcoin go.

All this talk about merit begging got me wondering. Why all the fuss about merit? It seems activity is more precious.

I'll give 1 merit to anyone who sends me activity points.

Oh, wait...

Cool

Jeez you are way too far on activity!

BTW, 60$ soon, my cat told me last night. He looked me in the eyes and said: "Be like a cat, my friend. Be strong like a #strongcat with #stronghands." I could have been possibly drunk too, can't remember.

However, in fact, it is easy to have BMI under control if you live in a moderate climate and in a city that encourages walking.

BMI is too simple a metric to have any meaning. Look at professional or olympic level athletes, they are arguably in better health than many people, but because they have more muscle and less fat, their BMI is actually higher. Bodybuilders, powerlifters and strength athletes have high BMI.

BMI is essentially height and weight. Weight is not the same as body fat percentage. You can be underweight but have so much fat for your height that you are unhealthy and your BMI is low. You can be extremely ripped (which may or may not be healthy long term) but your BMI will be very high.

I've been on this site for... way too long. And I just had to look up how it worked. Waste of time for anything other than helping prevent scammers as far as I can tell.

As usual an excellent job LoyceV. Just wondering why in satosh? Why not in BTC?

Just for my own curiosity can we get last transaction date? To see if these are active or inactive accounts?

This is actually good as a study of good OpSec practices. Basically, everyone will appear in this list, but how low on the list do you want to be if you have more than 2000 BTC.

Depending on how much you actually have, it's a good idea to break your stash into smaller chunks. I would say staying under 1000 per address is reasonable even for someone who has 100k total. If you have less than that, then don't worry about it. Most people will be fine using whole numbers if they have more than 1.

Most wallets let you have thousands or millions of addresses. (there might be a technical limit of about 2 billion, ... won't be an issue for anyone even exchanges and exchanges use their own software.)

What's wrong with Slot Kid? I have even merited some of his posts in the past..

Oh, you mean the merit begging angle of his cited post? I am surely NOT subscribing to merit begging, but seems to me that Slot Kid might have been merely trying to mimic the recently successful merit begging of ImThour, no?

ImThour got 115 merits for his merit begging post that happened to have been phrased in a "more hip," subtle and catchy kind of way that inspired, incentivized and motivated his target audience (namely generous merit givers to peeps supposedly buying bitcoin... blah blah blah). Just a difference in tone, subtlety, or word choice between the two, no? both present their lil selfies with merit begging conduct, no?

1st time around (ImThours post) it was cute. and obviously worked out merit wise (although more importantly btc wise for ImThour). 2nd time? nah.

This reminded of the next from the 48 Laws of Power:

Quote from: The 48 Laws of Power, Law 24, Page 556

Scene IX

Alfonso I of Aragon once had a servant who told the king that the night before he had had a dream: Alfonso had given him a gift of weapons, horses, and clothes. Alfonso, a generous, lordly man, decided it would be amusing to make this dream come true, and promptly gave the servant exactly these gifts.
A little while later, the same servant announced to Alfonso that he had had yet another dream, and in this one Alfonso had given him a considerable pile of gold florins. The king smiled and said, “Don’t believe in dreams from now on; they lie.”

The first time this was done you found it funny, were amused by it and went along with it, the second time not so much.

ImThour as he latter admitted himself was lucky to put a limit to how much bitcoin he was going to purchase otherwise he will have a thousands merits already and will have to sell his car or something else, the WO crowd is loving but ruthless on their quest to get “moar” bitcoin.

Mine’s Bitstamp to check the price, what’s yours?

I refresh the price widget. Why website?

What widget?
I don’t like having potentially malicious apps on my phone.

My girlfriend’s paysite, which accepts Bitcoin. I’m the BOFH sysadmin.

(Why would I check the price? After awhile, it gets boring to watch my ticker repeat 1 BTC = 1 BTC. I mean, I love Bitcoin, but the thing just stays the same...)

Sometimes these things need to be pointed out to the PFY's.

Good to HoDL, but better to (also) enjoy while we can!

It's possible to do both. Easy in fact.

I do both. At 64

I have 10 to 29 years of life left. My best guess.

The death clock says 17 to 20 years of life left .

So hodl is cool but I only hodl some mining earnings.

Since I >

1) mine
2) sell gear
3) buy gear
3) trade

the hodl part is pretty easy.
the spending part is harder.

This year a new he shed is part of the selling benefit.

I doubt the accuracy of these sites, especially the tight range (17-20).
Sometimes the numbers are also not very straightforward.
High BMI is considered bad, but higher BMI, when gained late in life, was recently found to be life-extending.
Possible reason: everyone loses weight in the last years of life (up to 10% or even more). Perhaps, if you have some extra BMI, you take longer time to get under some critically lower weight. At least this is my theory.
However, in fact, it is easy to have BMI under control if you live in a moderate climate and in a city that encourages walking.
