My phone has started heating up the last couple of weeks and I cannot figure out why. I don’t have any antivirus or malware checking apps because I don’t know iOS at the nuts and bolts like I do Win10.

Is there an app for this? I find em but don’t know which is good otherwise a bad actor.

PLEASE GOD, DON’T LET MY PHONE HAVE A BITCHCOIN MINER!!!

go into the battery settings in the control panel and see which app is using a lot of power there.

Organizing a bank run....(self.CryptoCurrency)
submitted 1 days ago by Leftwing_agitator to /r/CryptoCurrency

So, those of us who HAVE the amounts required to do this could organize a bank run. Heres the barebones sketch:

1. Have a whale cash out to fiat, and then deposit to a major bank. (everyone knows the bank, but don't know the branch to protect whale)
2. Have followers deposit to same major chain.
3. The whale goes in, and withdraws the banks entire vault (in cash)
4. Tell followers which bank branch to hit. All the followers swarm the bank asking for cash.
5. Call the news media in when bank can't produce said cash.
6. Redeposit the cash at another bank (not a different branch of same chain). Rinse and repeat at different chain of original bank.
7. Watch bankers panic.
9. Watch media panic.
10. Watch general populace panic.
11. Watch FDIC panic
12. Watch FDIC get bailed out by fed printing money.
13. Profit as populace loses faith in dollar and flees to bitcoin. xD

While watching a recommended video that talks BTC w/ some neighbors... (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 2 hours ago * by TheRealNotaredditor

So I am sitting in my neighbors apartment, chilling, avoiding the outside world. When all of a sudden, a Bitcoin doc. Showed up in their recommended. Neighor starts going off about Dread Pirate Roberts and trashing the old marketplace to me and his GF. Fair, some mistakes were made. Then he goes on to explain to his questioning GF about how all these "Druggies used stupid internet tokens made by nerds so they can get drugs delivered to their house." Im sitting there with my best poker face. Like, okay, sure. Silkroad was kinda a growing pain, but dont poo poo on my Bits bro. He goes on to ask what the value of a BTC is... Neighbor :"What are they worth anyway? Couple cents of something?" Me coy as ever: "Umm, well actually man, they are worth a little under $7,000 a piece now... But just a bit ago was over 11k." Neighbor: "Seriously? What kind of moron would buy a stupid Bitcoin for that much? Just buy stocks, they are so cheap right now!"

Me pensive: "haha, well, I mean it has outperformed the entire market and is a safe haven more reliable than gold, so, there is that..."

Neighbor: " Wait, you dont actually believe this crap do you?"

Me: "Actually man, I do.."

~ @ this point in the show that was on, CryptoKid comes on, and the Winklevoss boys are mentioned ~

His jaw drops.

I go on to explain to him, (a traditional market investor, owns a couple bluchip stocks and a traditional 401k) how the cost of investment capital is ACTUALLY calculated... "Yes, we take the market cap, and divide it by the circulating supply.... See, there are only EVER going to be 21 million."

I explained the upcoming halving, the demand for a safe haven asset, and the prospectus of that awful annoying "BRRRRR ing" noise emminating from the federal reserve.

This morning he texted me asking about the KYC on Coinbase. ( the only exchange available here)

Success.

I've posted here, at least 100 times, to save a liquid, emergency cash cushion - enough to pay all your bills for one full year (two years, even better).

Yes, the weak hands are about to get crushed. The strong hands will "buy the dip".

This is nothing unique to Bitcoin, by the way. For example, I'm planning on buying a lot of nice things during the coming catastrophe, with cash, for pennies on the dollar.

A lot of people are going to lose/sell their real estate, cars, boats, planes, stocks, Bitcoins, jewelry, gold, silver, etc.

First deflation, then hyperinflation. During the deflation phase, cash is king. After that, cash is trash.

Wow, I knew bitcoin made people stupid, but I didn't realize it made people that stupid. Anyone can buy any domain as long as they outbid the last person. As in you bid on a domain and then make it popular. Then someone can come bid on it again at any time and take it if they bid more than you. Once someone buys the domain you've built up, you don't get anything for it. In order to get it back, you have to bid again and spend even more. I didn't read their essay, so I don't know where the money goes. I'm assuming all the money goes directly to them, because bitcoin. Then they say this removes corporate control. Fuckin Anyone could build up a community around a domain and any corporation with more money than that person can steal it. Then they could set the price so high that the original owner could never afford to buy it back.
they also had a disasterous AMA on reddit around that time.

quote:

Suppose i created address with name of my company lbry/:Mycompany and i bought this address at 1 LBC.

On that address i will be posting my music that i created myself. This address becomes very popular. People often going on that address and buy music created by me. After 4 months it appears my music that you can find on address lbry/:Mycompany becomes very popular. So some guys came in, he sees that many people come in to that address to buy stuff. So he buys lbry/:Mycompany with 1.1 LBC and started posting his content and sells it. So the first guy who created lbry/:Mycompany in a lose position here. He make this address very popular to attend and then he loses it. And right now it is a headeache for him to try buy back this address on greater price or make another name.

So what is the point of such system?

EDIT: Guys! I want to inform you that right now after several times trying to get the ELI5 answer from LBRY owners in their Slack about the explanation of this theorem of how it will solve the naming system problem i was simply banned by one of their team member). I even tried to help them solve this problem by proposing using random generated company addresses that you can't sell. They seem to does not care about that help. So thats how this open minded blockchain developers communicate with common sense criticism. I thought you should know.

Are you freaking kidding me. You actually bought into that idiotic statist FUD. That was one of the most rediculous things I have ever witnessed. I guess you believe he actually killed the bitcoin with that rock. What a joke. I guess that guy hunted like his ancestors did, camo t-shirt, cap turned backwards with leaves stuck in it. Do you really believe a person can chase a bitcoin for a mile or two until it gets tired and just walk up to it and kill it with a rock? A Walker hound can chase a bitcoin for hours and never catch it, so how do you think a person is going to do it? How can you take this thread seriously? And BTW, it's certainly not legal to hunt bitcoins with rocks in any state. That is for anyone dumb enough to think they could do it. One other thing, the idiot in the FUD said it's a kids nature to throw rocks at cryptocurrencies. I guess I wasn't a normal kid. I just forgot to go around the neighborhood throwing rocks at whatever cryptocurrency got in my way. This is one of the most rediculous threads I have read since I have been on this forum. I guess I had better go find my perfect rock for this bitcoin season.
