An excellent book about all the details, even people who fought the Blocksize war might have missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YtS5ZNuuTw And excellent explanation of r/thelightningnetwork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKdK-7AtAMQ A bonus video.

Hey all, I have a friend who is definitely not tech-savvy who mentioned that she bought about 20 BTC as a joke in 2013. She says she documented all of the procedures and passwords at the behest of a tech friend she doesn't speak to any longer. She also still has the laptop from 2013 that she apparently did all this with, which doesn't seem to boot up. I did help her find the exchange she used and confirmed through the log that she sent 16.1 BTC to this wallet of hers. I have been researching the common wallets and am not sure if she had a web-based or software-based wallet. I believe (hoping) it was software-based and found the top five from that time. Apparently the web-based wallets suffered a high casualty rate. So it seems like it would be best to get the original laptop working again, even though she said she backed it up, the Bitcoin-related data was apparently on a different partition and I don't think she backed up that partition, as she just did time machine backups. Seems like a good next step? Thanks in advance.

Been watching the markets lately and keep wanting to throw more money at these lower prices curious what everyone else is doing with their investment split between crypto and the usual stuff like index funds stocks bonds etc what percentage you running and why did you choose that amount also probably spending too much time refreshing charts instead of studing but whatever
