If the Feds want to get you they will.

Well in the USA at least. (Which by the way is only a small part of the rest of whole world...)

El Salvador President: This is a Bitcoin Law and No Altcoin Will be Made Legal Tender


With the news of El Salvador’s bitcoin adoption as legal tender still trending, the country’s president, Nayib Bukele has made it clear that no altcoin will be made legal tender in El Salvador.

In a recent interview, President Bukele noted that his administration will be focusing on creating the necessary infrastructure required to make bitcoin fully operational as legal tender in the country.

He pointed out that residents can trade any altcoins of their choice but none of these altcoins will be made a legal tender.

He said,

“We are not gonna ban any other cryptocurrency but this is a Bitcoin Law, it’s just for bitcoin, for several reasons. It will be impossible to have ten legal tenders, having two legal tenders is quite a challenge enough. So, for legal tender, it’s only gonna be bitcoin and the USD.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Adoption is a ” No-Brainer”
When the news of El Salvador adopting bitcoin as legal tender broke, it was met with mixed reactions. While several members of the crypto community expressed their joy, some critics slammed the El Salvadoran government.

In one instance, Steve Hanke, a top professor of Applied Economics at the John Hopkins University, criticized the decision and said that it was “very stupid.”

In his interview, though, President Nayib pointed out that the decision to adopt bitcoin as legal tender was because of “forward-thinking.”

According to him, bitcoin’s historical trend is a clear indication that it is going to be a lot bigger than it is currently and that is why so many people are switching to it.

President Bukele revealed that adopting bitcoin has made El Salvador a little less dependent on the US dollar and its inflation, considering that it is one of the three officially dollarized American countries.

He said,

“Not becoming independent because we are not but at least becoming a little less dependent on the output of new dollars and the new inflation that is coming with those new dollars.”

He continued,

“Having bitcoin as a legal tender, even though nobody has done it before, was a no-brainer.”

Truly revolutionary. Will be fascinating how this develops. Other central american countries will follow I suspect.

Does those genetics transfer to bitcoin mining?

NYC Mayoral Candidate Eric Adams Plans to Make NYC Center of Bitcoin and Promote Crypto Trade


Democratic Mayoral contender Eric Adams has expressed his intention to ensure New York transition into a center of Bitcoin trade if he is elected as a mayor in upcoming elections.

The NYC Mayoral candidate Eric Adams declared his intention to make the city thrive in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) trading and transform New York as a center of Science and Cybersecurity.

Eric Adams is the new mayoral nominee who has openly endorsed cryptocurrency as one of the most influential trading mediums and has promised the residents of NYC to modify the city’s existing financial Infrastructure into a compatible platform that promotes crypto trade.

Adams who has been an active proponent of boosting the crop currency trading in the region has also made promises to stabilize the city’s crime rates and promote the economic structure of the city by employing crypto resources.

Eric Adams Promises to Make NYC a Hub for Bitcoin Mining and Trade
In an interview held on Tuesday, Democratic Mayoral contender Eric Adams has expressed his intention to ensure New York transition into a center of Bitcoin trade if he is elected as a mayor in upcoming elections. Later on, he added how he plans to revise the existing policies related to science and technology and make New York City prosper in terms of technological advancements such as self-driving cars, drones, and BTC trading.

Adams had successfully secured the votes of black and Latino communities and had managed to garner their support which has proven extremely beneficial for his mayoral race

Bitcoin mining is the "bookkeeping" that all this is based on...the computer data gets bigger and bigger, repeating over and over.
I don't know what would happen if everyone stopped mining.

BTC, USA!

China becomes more inward looking and closed off.

USA becomes more outward looking and open.

Eric Adams said:

"I'm going to promise you in one year … you're going to see a different city,"

"We're going to bring businesses. We're going to become the center of life science, the center of cybersecurity, the center of self-driving cars, drones, the center of bitcoins."

Adams aims to turn New York City into a technology center if he wins the mayoral race, which he is currently leading with nearly 32% votes, according to data from the New York Times. The final results are likely to be announced during the week of July 12.

New York will be competing against Miami, which is becoming a crypto center, thanks to his bitcoin-friendly Mayor Francis Suarez and low taxes. "Miami, you had your run. We're bringing our businesses back," said Adams.

Another big city democrat who knows nothing of creating a pro-business atmosphere or crypto....self-driving cars and cybersecurity are buzzwords like "sustainable energy" used only for pandering points. Going to get a lot worse in NYC before it gets better.

Could well be. But either way, any such stance is positive for BTC long term.

There are talks that ECB might ban cryptos in Europe. If that happens, compared with the situation in China, then I think cryptos are done.

. India, China, Turkey, Iran and now potentially Europe banning BTC. You're  in luck! Expect wild volatility all the way down to 0.No better place to be than in this thread where traders are always up. 90% who trade on these markets end up losing. You've  stumbled across the 10% always in  the green.  Look out for the buy signals!

27K BTC incoming

It will take several months, perhaps backend of the year for hash rate to return to pre miner ban levels. I can see btc breaching sub 30k again. GBCT is soon to unlocok164k BTC which could easily bring BTC into 27k territory.

Im suprised its holding aswell as it is considering.....I think  more pain to come  and still in a mini bear phase.

What is the significance of your mentioning of hash-rate? Do you believe it has some bearing on price?

False and nonsense information you have posted here. Please think before posting nonsense. You can't "ban" a mathematical algorithm, anymore than you can "ban" the fact that 1+1 = 2 (or people making use of such a calculation).

What you can do, is state that BTC is not legal tender. In this regard, almost all countries in the world have existing laws that only the Government can issue legal tender, China being no exception. What that then means is that BTC becomes an asset (as opposed to a currency), and just like any asset, be it a painting, a car, a house, gold, wine etc, people are permitted to trade it among themselves for a price that they are free to negotiate. The unique quality of BTC of course being its an asset that is infinitely divisible and instantly transferrable etc.

Anytime there is nonsense FUD, (which some idiots will believe, indeed often many idiots), this reflects itself in price. Smart investors will use any kind of idiot misunderstanding to accumulate an asset, knowing that when the incorrect information (eventually) dissipates, this is reflected in the price of the asset moving upwards.

The other point of irony is that some idiots here used Bitcoin FUD by saying "China controls Bitcoin". Now that that FUD is gone (due to miners moving out of China the same idiots are making a new FUD saying "China bans Bitcoin". They should lat least try to keep their FUD consistent! :P

Hash rate and price have a relationship because BTC is energy. Even Saylor says this.

Maxis blamed the April price crash on the blackout in China which crashed the hash rate. Correct.

Maxis are now saying China switching off mining and the resulting has rate crash is no longer correlated with price and is actually bullish. Incorrect.

Correct.  Hash rate follows bitcoin price. China forced a shutdown of 60%+ of the Bitcoin network infrastructure. Forced to relocate to countries with more freedoms and renewable energy. This is a + for long sustained btc growth.  Short term, will see llengthier block times, but once difficulty readjusts it will be rock n roll.

You are confusing cause and effect. The same number of BTCs are produced regardless of hashrate. The algo adjusts every 2 weeks, to ensure that the supply of BTC remains constant. So, for example, if we suddenly had half the hash rate, the mining difficulty would make it twice as lucrative for the remaining miners to mine. Currently around 900 coins are created a day (and that will drop to around 450 at next halvening). That 900 until then continues, regardless of hashrate.

So, a decline in hash-rate itself has zero impact on price. However, if you ban miners (like what happened in China), and those miners then move offshore, and then whilst they do that and move their rigs, hash-rate falls until they get back on line. And if those miners were then further long term hodlers, but suddenly then needed to sell their sats all at once in order to get the funds to finance the move their operations, yes that than can impact price. The important point being, its not the hash rate that impacted price. Rather the price fell due to miners selling to meet short term liquidity needs, and then whilst they were moving their operations their rigs went off line which in turn impacted hash rate,

Price rarely follows hashrate per se, it does follow FUD. Where there is an opportunity  to suppress  or drop the price by FUDsters then its  guaranteed. Like I said, lengthier  block times for the near term. Long term, more decentralisation  and a stronger network  and china FUD becoming irrelevant.  T
