Hello there, i heard dca and holding your btc on an online exchange is safe. Im currently doing that, buying on kraken pro, and holding there

. But i still cant fully understand the older hodlers and regular users of btc how are they keeping their bitcoins. I mean i understand the old way of downloading bitcoin software (wallet?)from bitcoin.org and you get an adress there which you use for receiving btc. Thats easiest way which i get and it doesnt required kyc.

But nowadays you see so much exchanges, wallets, ledgers, websites, tutorials. And buying online crypto is via kyc so the anonymous owning of btc is no longer there.

Im lost on which software wallet or cold wallet to use in EU, or which ones are legit and not a cheap scam. What are you using ?

I really want to hodl btc and dca in it, and when i scrape atleast 0.1-0.3 put in out of kraken. But dno where and how really.

How that og btc era changed in terms of holding btc in your hard-drive on your pc? Thx

used wallet of satoshi to send a lightning transaction and it has been stuck on queued for 24 hours now, what can i do to resolve this? how long does it take to get fixed? i contacted their support but havent gotten an answer

How many people have at least 0.1 BTC out of the total number of Bitcoin holders?

With the assumption that Republicans are highly unlikely to change the bill to leave room for future prosecution of POTUS via State AGs (a core Democrat demand); the only way forward for this current version seems to be Republicans to hold both chambers.

What alternative version might be introduced in the 2027-2028 Congress that can get passed and signed by Trump in the next two years? Will Democrats continue to assert prosecution rights forever or is there a compromise Democrats are willing to accept that could still protect Trump from potential prosecution?

Every Bitcoin block has 4 MWU. Financial transactions (payments, Lightning, DEX) and data inscriptions (Ordinals, BRC-20, Runes) compete for the same space. The market treats them identically — highest fee-rate wins — despite fundamentally different time-value curves.

A settlement is worth nothing if it misses this block. An inscription is worth the same next block or next hour. But there's no way to signal that difference to miners.

The approach: Wallets add a 4-byte OP_RETURN to each transaction declaring its type (financial or data). Pools optionally read this and allocate block space with a minimum 30% financial floor. No classifier, no false positives, no oracle trust issue.

- Works with Stratum v1 today (no protocol change)

- Pools capture a data fee premium (~25%) as a new revenue stream

- First-mover pool captures financial tx flow without losing data tx revenue

Would love feedback from people who understand mining economics better than I do. What am I missing?
