Let’s learn about bitcoin. We’ll discuss the article The Greatest Game by Jeff Booth. The Greatest Game https://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/...

“Implications of CBDC per IMF.”One thing that stands out (aside from the goal of trying to reduce dedollarization and cryptoization) is how often they say the word “could” in the article. Nothing better than non-scientific ambiguity. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/FTN063/2023/English/FTNEA2023010.ashx

Interesting scenario. One of our members transferred BTC from an exchange to their cold storage. However, the wallet showed a zero balance which made them anxious that they somehow lost all of their BTC. Fortunately, later in the day the wallet showed the expected balance. I suspect this was a server outage as their wallet would be run by someone else’s server. No risk of loss but definitely risk that someone else’s server could be down. This could be alleviated by running your own personal server and node.
