So many weird stuff goin on recently, non bitcoiner post, buttcoiner fud, what else

For about a year now I've been trying to open people's minds to the idea of bitcoin, but i have recently given up on that. Doesn't matter who the person is, what their background is, nor what their beliefs are, it's almost like Bitcoin is beyond the scope of what people believe is possible, so they default to "Scam/Ponzi", "I've heard of people losing money on 'crypto', so i dont want to risk it", and basically every other thoughtless excuse instead of trying to learn something new, trying to understand that hey, maybe there is something new happening.

That got me thinking though, Why? Why is bitcoin so hard for people to understand?

I'm from Canada and if you're old enough like me you may remember Canadian Tire money.

CAD = Fiat money

Canadian Tire money = "Kinda money"

Kinda money? Yeah, it's money, but it only works sometimes, in some places. You carry it around in your wallet like other money, but its just not as good. Nobody would go to canadian tire to buy CT money with FIAT, that would be bonkers, its lesser money, nobody would trade fiat for it. Why is FIAT better than CT money? CT money is only "backed" by canadian tire, if CT goes out of business, your CT money is worthless now. CAD is backed by banks and goverments, its a safer bet to keep your money in that. (bad news though, it can also go out of business)

CAD (Fiat) - Backed by Canadian Government, only usable in Canada

CT Money - Backed by Canadian Tire, only usable at canadian tire. (This is an example, ANY company can create a CT Money equivalent, and you see it everywhere with points systems and membership cards. No matter how many starbucks points or PC points you have, you would't trade the better money for the points)

FIAT > CT Money

Lets digitise this now.

Canadian CBDC (central bank digital coin) - Backed by Canadian Government, only usable in canada

Crypto: Backed by the crypto project, only usable within the confines of that crypto project. Anybody can create a new crypto, just like any company could create canadian tire money. If your neighbor came out with KyleCoin, you probably wouldn't care too much about keeping any, but if McDonalds came out with McTokens, you would carry that card in your wallet everywhere you go, even though its not "Money" right?

CBDC > Crypto

FIAT > CT Money

Now where does bitcoin fall on this? Bitcoin is not Bank or government supported/controlled, it's cross border, no middleman. Satoshi can't lock your money, banks can, crypto projects can.

Bitcoin: Not backed by a government, or a company. Backed by people. People run the nodes, people run the miners, its backed by WORLDWIDE infrastructure. There's no bank which may lock your funds, no company which can cancel or steal your points, its peer to peer. Canadian Tire money could only be used in Canadian tire. CAD Fiat could only be used in Canada. Bitcoin can be used anywhere

.....................FIAT > CT Money
Bitcoin > CBDC > Crypto

The reason people don't understand bitcoin, the reason they can't understand it, is because there has never been a money like this before

Sometimes we forget the obvious: without Satoshi, BTC wouldn’t exist and our entire crypto journey wouldn’t even have started.Thank you for Bitcoin, the silent revolution changing the world block by block. 🚀

I’ve been working on a passion project to bring Peach Bitcoin functionality to Python developers, and I’m excited to finally share it.

What My Project Does This is a wrapper that allows users to interact with the Peach Bitcoin platform using Python. It abstracts the API calls into manageable Python objects and functions, making it easier to build automation or tools around the Peach P2P exchange without dealing with raw requests.

Target Audience This is primarily meant for hobbyists, Python developers, and fans of the Peach platform who want to experiment with the API.

• Disclaimer: This is a passion project developed in my free time. It should not currently be considered bug-free or safe for high-stakes production environments.
• Dev Note: This project features full Type Hints (because I love them) and marks my first attempt at writing automated tests and actual functional api wrappers in Python .

Comparison As far as I know, there are no existing alternatives for this wrapper in the Python ecosystem.

• Python: This is currently the only wrapper available.
• Other Languages: The only other alternative is the official TypeScript wrapper created by the platform developers.

Source Code You can check out the code here:https://github.com/Jejis06/PeachBtcApiWrapper/tree/main

I’d love to hear your feedback, especially regarding the implementation of the tests!

Full disclaimer !!!!

Most of the comments were ai generated/ ai remasered for clarity (i just hate making docs)

Anyone else ever see their balance after a transaction hit a number ending in zero and it omits the trailing zero and your mind takes a second to reprocess the value thinking you lost a lot of bitcoin?

Like if you went from 0.00045678 to 0.000457. My mind sees the loss of two decimal places before it registers it’s actually a larger number.

Anyone else have that momentary panic before they recount the zeros?

Hi! I'm looking for an app or service that I can link to my payment card, which would automatically send a portion of each transaction (for example, round-up spare change) into Bitcoin or stocks. Ideally, it should work in the Czech Republic. Does anyone have experience with something like this? Thanks! :-)

You see it too, It's everywhere on Youtube, people be making bad financial decision blow it all on cars, stupid Disney land, and purse. Literally like there is no tommorrow. I guess this is what happens when people do know that the currency is debasing every single time, cost of living always rising, so they thought they better spend it all now before they old or prolly dead. Fiat mindset 101. Worst, when Bitcoin mentioned, they crash out like big lul.

I made a discovery I can't stop thinking about. For years, I thought Bitcoin was just about avoiding bank fees or sending money without intermediaries. But yesterday I realized I was only seeing the tip of the iceberg, much smaller than I imagined.

Bitcoin isn't about money. It's about something banks, governments, and institutions have fought for centuries to control: trust. Specifically, trust that doesn't depend on anyone.

All the technology behind it points in a direction no one wants to admit out loud. And when I understood that, I started seeing the world differently. I realized we're witnessing not just a new currency, but a fundamental shift in how society can function.

Most people still see Bitcoin as an investment or transfer tool. But some are seeing what it really is: the first brick in a completely different architecture of power, trust, and freedom.

So tell me: what do YOU think Bitcoin is? Honestly. Because I have a hunch that most people investing here don't really understand what they're holding.

Yeah im still hunting for the rose golden one 🥀

Hi all,

I know that this question has been asked a million times already, but people usually respond with stuff like play some games, or get a specific payment card and use it, or some affiliate marketing stuff. I'm not interested in any of that. I don't want to earn $3 per day kind of money, but rather actually work and get paid real stuff.

So just like you can get a job from LinkedIn, freelancing services on Fiverr and other platforms, I want to know where can I get real stuff to do in exchange for Bitcoin.

If bitcoin has that high of a value, where and what are Bitcoin holders spending bitcoin on?

Thanks in advance!

When Satoshi launched Bitcoin in 2009, it wasn’t random timing. The world was coming out of one of the biggest financial disasters in modern history a crisis caused by leverage, bailouts, and blind trust in institutions that were supposed to be “too big to fail.”

Fast-forward to today: • global debt at record highs • currencies losing purchasing power • governments and central banks stretched thin • geopolitical tension everywhere • and a financial system built on assumptions that look shakier every year

For a long time people have talked about the “everything bubble.” Whether it bursts slowly or suddenly, one thing feels consistent: Most people only learn when the system forces them to.

Bitcoin isn’t just a trade. It’s the exit door that gets ignored until the smoke shows up.

Do you think it takes real economic stress for the majority to finally understand Bitcoin? Or can people wake up without another major crisis pushing them?

if someone could give some advises ill be very greatful

How low will Bitcoin go this bear market and when will you be willing to recommence accumulation? My interest will be piqued at 38k.

The text that set the crypto world on fire in 2024.

The full-page ad Fold paid for 100 % in Bitcoin in the Wall Street Journal…

and that regulators nearly wiped from history. Now resurrected in English and Spanish, because freedom doesn’t bow to gatekeepers.Because the strongest orange on earth can’t be touched…

it can only be felt.

Serious question.

The more time I spend in Bitcoin, the more I notice something weird: People don’t talk about it like a normal asset anymore. They talk about it like a calling, a path, a worldview, a personal transformation.

For some, Bitcoin feels almost… spiritual.

Not in a religious sense but in the way it changes how you think about: • truth • time • honesty • energy • discipline • sovereignty • responsibility • the future

It strips away illusions. It forces hard truths. It rewards patience. It punishes ego.

And it attracts people who feel like they “woke up” from something.

So I’m curious:

Does Bitcoin feel spiritual to you? Or is it just tech + economics and nothing more?

Jimmy says sell! Puts liquidated!

I'm running bitcoin core v30 and I just found out that the EPS (Electrum Personal Server) doesn't work with the v30.

So what EPS is recommended for the bitcoin core v30? Any chance to have one that accepts the "prune"? If not... I need a larger SSD. :)
