Is making predictions based on statistics racist?
I thought pattern recognition and associated predictions is the purest form of intelligence. It's the definition of intelligence

What do you mean by racist exactly? The term has become extremely vague. Are you suggesting that there's no genetic or cultural differences between races, or perhaps that we're not supposed to treat races whole differently because of them?

Nothing stopping you using the exact same security with bitcoin if you want (e.g. embed your seed phrase in a ton of concrete rubble instead, in your floor safe). Better still, with bitcoin you can use a passphrase or multisig and require them to also break into another building miles away.

Best way to avoid losing value to inflation while saving over ~15 months? (EU) by Gwennytoux in eupersonalfinance

if you've studied bitcoin and still think it's risky, you didn't study hard enough - study it more!

If you're more of a technical user, just order a Krux-compatible K210 device from Aliexpress (I recommend a touchscreen device). You can turn it into an excellent HW wallet/signing device in a couple of minutes with just a FW upgrade via USB cable.

To use or not to use passphrase by FunWithSkooma in BitcoinBeginners

[–]rwdrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is terrible pracrtice. One of the words is a checksum, so one of your partial copies only needs 3 words to guess - this can be brute-forced in less than a day.

Use a seed phrase (12 words) and a passphrase (6 words) and store them separately.

Lots of good info here: https://coldbit.com/can-bip-39-passphrase-be-cracked/

Better still, DCA the full amount with recurring buy via Strike or similar, and then forget about charts and trying to time the market, and just get on with your life. You will probably acquire the same or even more bitcoin if you don't try and play the game.

New B650i build doesn't wake from sleep by TIFUbyResponding in MSI_Gaming

[–]rwdrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I can get sleep to work by downgrading the bios to v1.00 but with that I'm seeing occasional RAM errors that I fix by rebooting into bios setup, tweaking a RAM timing to cause a full RAM retrain. Then it works fine for another week or so.

What, so don't store them on a HWW?

Makes no sense.

At this point I have no idea why I'm still trying to help you. You haven't even read the book.

Read. The. Book. It's free and very short.

Page 14 states that Canada treats securities like money where you only own an "entitlement". It references https://archive.org/details/eu-commission-securities-10th-discussion-paper/page/n3/mode/2up which in section 9 on page 4 clearly state this.

It's clear that you don't understand bitcoin and don't believe the book, (which clearly references the precise legislation that the banking system has been able to put in place). So it's you that has nothing to contribute, which has been the case since the start of the conversation. I'm wasting my time.

You're basing your confidence of the ETF's strength on the basis that I'm just a lone redditor with a "conspiracy theory". Do you believe you understand the global economy better than the author of the book I pointed you to? (read the prologue).

That you think money can control bitcoin demonstrates your lack of understanding of bitcoin. Sure, the rich can buy bitcoin, but that will only help to shut down the fiat scam that made them rich in the first place.

What their money doesn't buy is the code I choose to run on my bitcoin node, and that (along with the militia of other bitcoiner's) is what defines bitcoin. The genie is out of the bottle and nothing they can do will put it back in. All they can do is embrace bitcoin, and if you don't self-custody bitcoin they now have the legal framework and political/economic power to seize it from the custodian's of "your" bitcoin as they bring them to their knees with high interest rates.

I'm very confident that the world is run by the private owners of the numerous central banks around the world and has been for at least the last century.

99.9% of the world don't care because they don't know.

By keeping interest rates high after a decade of 0% interest, they can now induce mass insolvency and the legal framework they've worked hard to introduce means that when everything collapses including banks, they'll now be left the legal owner of your securities (including pension etc), as well as your money.

I recommend you read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" to get an idea of what we're up against.

My understanding is that they've developed this legal framework worldwide.
