Key Takeaways The DOJ revealed today that it took 50,67617 BTC from a Silk Road exploiter in November 2021. The haul is among the biggest in DOJ history. The U.S. federal government is presently among the biggest Bitcoin whales, and owns over 214,046 BTC at minimum. Over the last couple of years, the United States federal government has actually turned into one of the biggest Bitcoin whales just by taking unlawfully gotten funds. Ultimately, it will most likely look for to liquidate these funds through personal auctions. Over 50,000 BTC Seized The United States federal government owns a massive quantity of Bitcoin. Today, the Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed that it took a little over 50,67617 BTC (worth approximately $1 billion at today's costs) in November 2021 from a Bitcoin trader called James Zhong. Zhong acquired the amount by defrauding darknet market Silk Road by making use of the platform's withdrawal system in September 2012; he pleaded guilty to one count of wire scams recently, on November 4,2022 The DOJ advertised the confiscation as a $3.36 billion haul, which, while right at the time of the enforcement action, stops working to consider that Bitcoin is now down69% from its all-time high. The seizure is noteworthy-- it's the 3rd biggest in cryptocurrency history by Crypto Briefing's count-- particularly thinking about the quantity of Bitcoin the U.S. federal government currently has under its control. Over $4.43 Billion in Bitcoin In addition to the 50,676 BTC took from Zhong, the U.S. federal government has actually currently obtained at the minimum 163,370 BTC over the last 2 years, for a grand overall of 214,046 BTC, or about $4.43 billion, minimum. In November 2020, the DOJ caught69,370 BTC (worth over $1.4 billion today) from another Silk Road user, advertised as "Individual X" by the department. At the time, this was the network's fourth-largest Bitcoin address; the seizure formally made the U.S. federal government among the greatest Bitcoin whales worldwide. The company likewise took over 94,000 BTC from Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein, declaring the couple was conspiring to wash earnings from the crypto exchange Bitfinex's notorious hack in2016 The amount, worth $3.6 billion at the time, is now worth over $1.9 billion. Owning 214,046 BTC makes the U.S. federal government a greatly big Bitcoin whale. According to BitInfoCharts, just one BTC wallet-- identified as Binance's freezer wallet-- includes a bigger amount, 252,597 BTC, and these funds most definitely come from Binance consumers, not the exchange itself. Searching for the biggest BTC wallets does not provide the complete image, nevertheless, as whales are most likely to divide their holdings in between numerous wallets. Satoshi Nakamoto, the confidential developer of Bitcoin, owns more than 1.1 million BTC, however the quantity is divided in between 22,000 various wallets. Is the U.S. federal government the most significant Bitcoin whale besides Satoshi? It's tough to state, however it definitely holds more than Bitcoin's greatest public supporter, Michael Saylor. Through his software application business, Microstrategy, Saylor had the ability to build up over 130,000 BTC throughout the previous 2 years. Concern for Bitcoin Holders? Typically, the U.S. federal government liquidates its Bitcoin holdings through the U.S. Marshalls Service through public auctions. Endeavor Capitalist Tim Draper notoriously purchased 30,000 BTC from the federal government in 2014 for about $185 million-- or around $616 per coin. More than likely, the BTC taken by the DOJ will be likewise provided to the general public. In current years, the DOJ has actually attempted to time its auctions according to market revolutions to offer its holdings for the greatest cost possible. In November 2021, it auctioned off $56 million worth of cryptocurrencies took from a BitConnect promoter, effectively liquidating the holdings at the height of the booming market.

Whether the firm will have the perseverance to wait on Bitcoin to increase once again prior to offering its holdings is yet to be seen. Far, it has actually limited itself from liquidating the profits from the Individual X and Razzlekhan confiscations.

Trump gave a speech at Gettysburg in 2016. It sounds a lot like his present-day Twitter feed.

In the 2016 speech, Trump complained of a "totally rigged and broken" political system, insulted his opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and warned of supposed voter fraud that could derail the election. Trump has also aired these exact same grievances on his Twitter account in the last 14 days.

In the lead-up to the 2020 election, Trump has taken a forceful stance against mail-in voting (except in Florida), baselessly arguing it will lead to mass voter fraud and threatening legal action to prevent the practice. The president has touted the incorrect claim that absentee ballots and mail-in ballots are different, and has completely ignored that he himself is a mail-in voter.

As recently as July, Trump took shots at Clinton on Twitter, drawing attention to her relationship with Russia and attacking her for alleged voter suppression.

So while Trump has had over 1,300 days and four years of presidential experience since his first go at Gettysburg, a 2020 Gettysburg address may have already written itself.

It might not have actually been tulip season in the Netherlands, however there was a palpable buzz at the stunning Westerpark, which played host to the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2022 Conference.

And if I look now doing banking deals, they're ineffective, they're expensive, and typically rather sluggish. [ Bitcoin] ends up being increasingly more appealing." While there was a lot of optimism for Bitcoin being a hedge in a person's financial investment portfolio from a variety of speakers, Foss highlighted the significance of having a clear technique in location in regards to a portion allowance to BTC in a portfolio. Energy problems in Europe Energy problems were another hot subject of dispute, considered that Europe is experiencing an energy crisis of sorts, which has actually been worsened by Russia's intrusion of Ukraine.

Andy Long, CEO of mining company White Rock Management, summarized the status of affairs on the continent." Really, the only cost effective resources for energy for mining in Europe remain in places where the energy is stranded. When you transfer energy, you have losses in the grid, however you likewise require sufficient capability in the circulation network."

Funny, you don’t look your age.

A 1971 Lamborghini P400SV, part of my model car collection

I got the model kit for my birthday back in2016, the same year that particular car had its 50th birthday.  The Italian automotive firm introduced the Miura to the public in 1966.  It became famous for appearing in a (tragically) brief scene in the movie The Italian Job.  For the car’s 50th birthday, they decided to recreate that scene, but to make sure the car survived this time, they included police escorts.

I was already a fan in 2018 but I found out wayy later that people thought jikook weren't good in mid2018. I didn't see it. Something I was aware of was MAMA 2018 (which was even after MMA2018), jungkook went to taehyung when he was crying and jimin was crying alone. I know that moment a lot of people dropped jk and became pjm solos. JM is the member who's had solos the earliest of all, back in2016 people already stanned jimin only and not the rest of bts (not anti bts, just jimin fans) 1

Cont/ (missing part 2) idk why i'm telling you about that jsjsj it came to my mind when another anon mentioned 2018. I guess my point was that there wasn't anything "bad" about jikook in 2018, not even for MAMA but, in the same way it's been talked that jk expects something more from jm (like NJ live 2019 and jk waiting for an apology), if people believe jikook are in a relationship, they will expect more of jungkook (and jimin) in the way they treat each other and it's not something we can avoid feeling either. 3

maybe you'll avoid it by rationalizing later but if you've felt it then the feeling is already there and that's it. of course we are just fans but you can't control feelings or emotions anyways and even when people say they're not expecting anything from them, i don't actually believe them. if you believe they're a couple, you are already expecting certain behaviors from them; for example if one of them gets hurt again people will expect the other to be in the room. 4

Like I've been saying for the past few days, BTS are a band, performing TOGETHER. JK & JM are part of that band. Even if they are in a relationship, that is their private life. Within the band, during professional engagements, they will be professional, they will interact with other members of the band. But I will go even further than that. These 7 young men are the best of friends. They have been together for over 9 years, and have bonded on the most personal levels with each other. Of course they will interact with each other. When you have a couple within a group of friends they don't stop interacting with the friends. If they wouldn't well that can break friendships apart. Friendships need to be worked on and nourished just as much as a romantic relationship does.

I'm going on here... point being, again, this isn't the Jikook show, it's BTS, and as such, JM & JK will continue to interact freely and happily with the other band members. By no means does that mean they are unhappy with each other or cold to each other or angry at each other or split up. The only thing it means is that they are both happy to perform and be with the other band members, who are their friends, or even as JK put it, their family.

As for expectations, well, they are problematic.  This isn’t Big Brother, we we don’t get to see them on a day to day basis.  What we are given are snippets of BTS content, that they are part of.  Other than live performances,, Vlives (which are pretty scarce these days) or award shows (again, non existent these days), it’s all heavily edited content.  We can’t expect anything.  We need to sit back, take a breath, support them and enjoy what we are given.  Those who have experienced long term relationships can see the signs there, even without the big moments that may or may not be missing nowadays.
