I read on a forum, one of the P2P sellers mentioned he buys on KYC platforms, and sells immediately P2P, just for the arbitrate opportunity.
Yes, and the Known Physical Bitcoin Attacks list is not complete/not being updated properly.
It has some recent info, but there's also some that are not included, for whatever reason.
Oh really...
So there wasn't in the past couple years MASSIVE discrimination against people who didn't want to tie a rag over their mouth and nose? And people who didn't want to inject an experimental substance in their arms?
Current nutritional advice - meat and saturated fat is bad, fruits and veggies are great, whole grains are great, fiber is great. This advice is a load of garbage.
If you're interested in learning more, read the book The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholtz.
I wrote a post on this book a while back.
If you don't want to read the whole thing, just look for interviews with Nina Teicholtz, she has some great ones out there.
An interesting case in point is libraries. Everyone nowadays thinks that libraries MUST be funded by the state.
But lending libraries originated as private companies. They were often really low budget, people had memberships, they had just a short opening time each week, people would come at that time and check out a book for a week.
I'm just reading Victor Klemperer's book I Will Bear Witness, memoirs of a German Jewish professor in Nazi Germany. The government libraries were the first ones to deny entrance to Jews. He was able to use private lending libraries for a while after being denied entry to the government libraries.
Theory - governments will force retirement funds (401k, etc) to purchase government bonds.
Isn't this what they did in Zimbabwe and Argentina?
True, stacker news is great. But when the price spikes there's usually something that happened, and I just want to understand that.
I poked around a bit - maybe it's updated CPI:
"Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed local highs of $64,700 for BTC/USD after the Wall Street open.
Bitcoin bulls received a boost from the latest United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) print, which beat expectations in a win for risk assets. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index hit all-time highs."
Thanks for the comment. Better than Phoenix? Why in particular? Other than...phoenix is pulling out of the US...
Thanks for the comment. Is this meant for people running public nodes, or would it be suitable for private (personal) nodes as well?

Thanks, I just saw the anti-bot verification and passed, it was a bit hidden.
Np. I rearranged the bullet points just before I sent, what I meant to say on the first bullet point is that those offers (US Strike, EU Revolut, etc) are all on robosats and bisq.
Couple thoughts:
- Do you have access to other currencies besides Indian Rupee? US or EU revolut or strike account or something? Then you have access to all the US or EU offers, which are plentiful.
- I don't see any Indian Rupee offers in robosats, but maybe try actually MAKING an offer there. It can be a little challenging but there's a very good telegram channel for robosats, people are helpful.
- Same thing with Bisq. Ask on the telegram channel.
Thanks for this, looks amazing. Wow, that Berlin group seems to have multiple events a week and sometimes a day! Lots of action there...
Also I did some poking around and found this - https://einundzwanzig.space/meetups/. Lots happening.

Interesting that Robosats (another P2P trading platform) has built a system with no reputation. You are encouraged to never re-use your robot tokens.
However, people do re-use their robot tokens, all the time. So, that's their reputation. You see the same users all the time.
I wonder about how the Robosats no-reputation thing can work, over the long term. Especially when attacks like this come up.
If you've already eliminated processed food and feel better, but not that great then I encourage you to try Carnivore. (Or keto/low-carb, but Carnivore is very simple and easy to follow, after a couple weeks/months).
It cures so many issues.
Follow these folks:
Dr Shawn Baker - book, The Carnivore Diet - a great overview, easy to read. He also has a great podcast, and a great youtube channel
Dr Ken Berry - youtube channel, very highly regarded
Plant Free MD - carnivore podcast, good stuff, by Dr Anthony Chaffee. He's also on youtube quite a bit, I'm not sure if he has his own channel
Also read The Big Fat Surprise - book by Nina Teicholtz - outstanding book, won a lot of awards, this is what started me out, in terms of questioning standard nutritional advice. Not a ton on carnivore diet in particular, but lots of info on how fruits/veggies/fiber/whole grains aren't as great for you as we've been told, and also on how cholesterol is a bad endpoint for measuring cardiovascular health (because people with lower cholesterol often have shorter lifespans), and how meat, eggs, and dairy are actually very healthy for you.
Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton - interesting book about a whole class of fruits/veggies that contain a specific plant toxin (oxalate) that doesn't get nearly enough attention, and might be one of the things on a vegan diet that can cause real problems.
If you don't want to read any books, check out online interviews, there's loads out there.
I saw this on mempool.space and wondered what it was.
Could someone ELI5 how/why specifically this happens?
