The best protest is to defund the system -> buy Bitcoin.
like night and day
With Bitcoin, I feel like I am saving, rather than investing
From a friend of mine:
I started buying bitcoin first as an investment, but gradually, as I became more and more comfortable in the environment, and shifted more and more of my savings into bitcoin, I realized something fundamental had changed:
As a millennial, this is the first time in my life that I could have “savings,” rather than investments.
Most of my friends and family are in debt, either from college, from “buying” a house, or both. Those who are not in debt, are forced by near zero interests rates to invest in stocks or bonds, or real estate. Many friends and their families lost it all in 08. And the future is more uncertain than ever, as our pension funds are invested in the same risky schemes.
Meanwhile, after hodling through the last bear cycle that took BTC to 3k, you come out of it realizing that in the long run, BTC will most likely always appreciate. Why would you, then, ever take your savings out of it? Of course, BTC is still a risky proposition, but it is the only one that allows you to save.
I guess the distinction I am making about BTC being saving or investment is a bit of a stretch; I mean, BTC is still a gamble by all means, but it feels like less of a gamble, or a more worthwhile gamble, than anything else. And it is the only one, that due to its ability to appreciate over time with a higher degree of certainty (the hard coded diminishing supply), to give me a feeling that I am “saving,” rather than “investing.”

Is Bitcoin too good to be true?
I can't help but feel that Bitcoin is just too good to be true. There are some risks involved in buying it (KYC, hacks, loosing keys) but overall, it is quite a safe investment once you know what you're doing.
If you think that Bitcoin will overcome it's current all time high within a year or so, then don't you also think that it is too good to be true? That if you buy it now, your investment will double so fast?
No wonder people think this is a scam considering the massive expectations.

I've created a simple file sharing service where you can buy or sell files using lighting network - https://bit.ly/2Xja8Jh
The service is quite simplistic, no registration, just keys that are associated with your funds. Withdraw whenever you want. Sell your files as low as 50 sats.
There are also some keyboard shortcut keys for convenience (check info icons at the bottom)
It's possible to POST your upload through cli with eg:. curl (yet, as not abused. Or captchas are comming lol). Most of server responses are simple - one sentence - json format so it's easy to parse and do something with it. (except withdrawals)
Keys for funds are not stored on the server, just their hashes, so please don't ask for help if you lose it. It's not recoverable.
I'm just a hobbyist after all, not the smartest guy in the crypto world (or in general) so please take your earnings as soon as possible to avoid loss in case of hacks or bugs I don't know yet.
At the moment max file size is 50mb but there is a possibility to increase it in the future (servers cost money after all)
Oh, and last but not least, the upload front page works without javascript, it fallbacks to a basic html page without any fanciness.
Any suggestions are welcomed. You can contact me via twitter or on reddit if you run into problems/bugs or just want to talk.

Help understanding networking
I live off grid and can only access the Internet via us cellular plans. I have i surface pro x with a cellular data plan that I plan to use. I’ll be mining ASIC s9.
From help here on the subreddit I’ve leaned that I’ll need a router. Where I need help is understanding the networking. I understand how to use an ip searching program to find the s9. I don’t know how to use the router to connect the pc to the miner, and how to firewall protect.

Just wanted to share my success story with you guys. It's crazy to look at the wallet the transactions came from. you think you own your crypto on an exchange, but really its just pooled together with $19,000,000 worth of other peoples coins, and the exchange owns that wallet.

Off grid mining help
I have a 3.6 kw solar array with 11.4 kw li-ion battery bank. I have on average an addition 6kw per day that I could use to mine btc. I am planning to use a s9se at 129v with 2 psu’s connected in parallel. I’ll scale the solar later.
My problem is that I’ve never mined bitcoin and I’m truly off grid and get my internet via LTE.
My plan is to use the usb-c port on my lte surface pro X and plug that directly into the ant miner with an Ethernet adapter.
Will this work this way without a router? If not what are my options. Data line is not available. Both my phone and my laptop have unlimited data plan with hotspot. I’m open to purchasing additional pieces of equipment if needed.

Anxious to see what my son will say to me.
BTC supporter here since 2014.
When my son was 1 year old back in late 2016, I used up all his birthday money to buy bitcoin for him. Put it on a ledger and kept it away since. My wife told me to sell at $5000, at $10000 and $18000, but i hold it ever since, now she already know I will keep my promise to just give it to him when it is time (probably not at 18, because most youngsters are still retarded at that age)
Anyway, I am so anxious to see his reaction when I tell him he has a certain amount of btc :D and that his 'old fashioned' dad was good for something :P
I hope it will make him instantly financially stable/independent. Or maybe I will get to hear why I didn't sold at $18000 back in 2017! You should have listened to mum!

Inspiration to anyone under 18
I have been buying Bitcoin since I was 15 (I am 17 now). I started from odd online jobs to YouTube with a few million views to dropshipping and also working as a lifeguard. I saved every bit and have been DCA for 2+ years now. I humbly am making my way to owning 5 BTC, not a lot to some of you guys but I see it as a great investment by the time I'm ready to retire. BTW, I use Shakepay (because I'm in Canada) under my Dad's name. Make sure you invest in a hardware wallet! The beauty of BTC is you can buy small fractions of it, so take advantage of that and HODL! Good luck to everyone especially the ones that have started young.

US Plan to Delist Chinese Stocks Could Trigger Massive Bitcoin Buying Spree
The mounting tensions between the US and China as a result of the ongoing pandemic have contributed to global instability and could ultimately provide a major boost to Bitcoin.
The United States House of Representatives is now spearheading an effort to delist Chinese stocks from the US markets, claiming that they have long been able to benefit from US listings without the companies having to abide by the same rules as domestic companies.
If the government is successful in their move to delist these companies, it could provide a major boost to Bitcoin as more Chinese citizens turn to crypto to escape the mounting economic turbulence.
Ironically, this effort is being driven by Representative Brad Sherman – an outspoken critic of Bitcoin and other digital assets.
Tensions Between US and China Mount as Government Moves to Delist Chinese Stocks
The ongoing global pandemic has largely been blamed on China by officials within the US government, who now appear to be taking actions to increase the country’s accountability.
In a recent interview with MarketWatch, Representative Sherman noted that “it’s time for China to blink first” while speaking about his newly introduced “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act.”
Rep. Sherman, who has long been an adversary of Bitcoin and crypto in general, explained that this newly introduced act isn’t being floated with the goal of desilting Chinese companies from the US markets, but rather to force them to adhere to the US capital-market standards.
“THE PURPOSE HERE IS NOT TO DELIST OR DE-REGISTER; IT’S TO DEMAND THAT CHINA DO WHAT EVERY OTHER COUNTRY HAS DONE AND AGREE THAT IF THEIR COMPANIES WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN U.S. CAPITAL MARKETS, THEY AGREE TO LIVE BY U.S. CAPITAL-MARKETS RULES…TIME FOR CHINA TO BLINK FIRST FOR THE BENEFIT OF INVESTORS,” HE STATED.
If this act is passed, it could create even greater tension between the two countries, potentially having grave impacts on the recently passed trade deal.
Rep. Sherman believes that the bill will be successfully passed before the end of summer.
Here’s How This Could Give Bitcoin a Boost
Because the delisting of Chinese companies from the US markets could have dire impacts on the country’s economy, citizens residing there may continue turning to alternative investments like Bitcoin to hedge their portfolios.
This growth has been fueled by investors in China and other countries moving to add USD exposure to their portfolios.
The imminent inflation that the US dollar will soon see, however, may also lead some of these investors to convert their USDT into Bitcoin in order to avoid the impacts of the United States’ immense money printing, thus giving BTC a major boost.

I didn't realize what people meant when they said "When the time comes, you won't have to sell your Bitcoin", Until Now:
The one thing people don't realize Bitcoin is for. You can take out loans on it. So in 10 years when you want a house, or duplex, or triplex, or apartment, or business; you can take out low interest rate loans for them with your Bitcoin, and buy that house, or rental property, or business you want. Something you could never do before any other way. This is what Bitcoin does for you. It grants you the net-worth and financial access so you can have the ability to get loans you could never get approval for before. Something as small as 20$ a month for 1 year or more, 10 years from now, can get you a loan for that house, or business you want but could never afford, or get an approved loan for.
This is also better than selling your bitcoin for a property too. Because chances are, the Bitcoin will be a better investment value wise in the long run, so collateralizing it let's you keep your coin, and get your property, or business. Preferably a rental property, or solid proven business so it pays itself off.
>Edit: A little example of how I realized this lesson the hard way. I lost a bit over 100 million dollars worth of Bitcoins in today's value by selling off almost 1.5 times the value of my first rental property that I'll most likely never recoup. The rental property was 3.87 million at the time, and I had to sell over 5 million dollars worth in Bitcoins at an average of 500$ a coin price in 2015 to acquire it. That was a little over 11 thousand Bitcoins I had to sell for the property. I had to sell off that much because I had to pay off the capital gains tax for selling the Bitcoins in the first place, and still have enough left over to pay for the rental property after capital gains taxes were paid. Since then, I learned my lesson seeing what my coins would've been worth today, and am never making that same mistake again. On my second rental property, I used some of my remaining Bitcoins as collateral to take out a low interest rate loan for it, and sold a smaller amount of Bitcoins so I could make a down-payment on the property. I've already recouped the small amount I sold off in Bitcoins for my down-payment on the second property too with the rental income from both properties.
>The rental income on the second property is 4 times the cost of the mortgage payment every month, so I keep 75% of the rent as profit, and the other 25% that pays off the mortgage. That 25% that pays off the mortgage is a write off too, a perpetual write off at that. It's a write off I get to use on every years taxes that I have to pay on the first property's, and second property's rental income since they're owned under the same entity. And best of all, I still own all my Bitcoins used for the second property, and more now. Unlike the huge loss in Bitcoins I have for the first property's flat out purchase that I'll probably regret for the rest of my life. Learn from me.
Edit 2: A great resource explaining this thanks too u/statoshi's comment: "Check out Chamath Palihapitiya's spin on this from 2014": https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NV5ubkGQUes#t=81
