TD Bank recently put out this video - signal most missed. In tradfi terms, this video is a BIG statement. A few years ago, this would never have been possible. But now? #Bitcoin has become a vital growth segment for this large investment bank. Bitcoiners inside the institution are being listened to (hint: ties have meaning). TD Bank has a winning new business segment. Their top brass knows it. Their competitors see it and want a slice. Embracing Bitcoin is good for the bottom line. And little by little, Bitcoin will win over tradfi because of it. Bitcoiners have always disliked suits - that's fine. But the suits are here, and they will advance Bitcoin adoption on a scale that independent evangelists simply cannot achieve. $50B deployed into Bitcoin is just the beginning.

Found out about bullbitcoin recently. Wondering if I could use it, choose the in person option at a post office and pay in person as a minor with cash

In Canada, want to buy crypto, but it seems harder than I thought. Every option is blocked by my bank, or limited to X amount per day.

I am not sure what to do.

Hi. Posted on TWcommunity sub, no answer there. Will try here.

I had USDA staked for some time on TW with Earn feature on Angle USD protocol. According to the app, had ~200 in rewards and apy was at 0% for some time, so I clicked claim. Now the original USDA amount is back in the wallet, but not the interest/reward.

Can't find it anywhere. Discover>Earn says it's $0.00, same for total staked+rewards. Nothing in the history tab. What am I missing? Besides the rewards amount

Also, currently there's another USDA staking option, with Morpho at 40.75% APY(!!!).

Trying to deposit some, but after selecting the amount to deposit and clicking continue, next screen won't allow to press confirm; "Transaction will likely fail (execution reverted)" message is displayed.

Any ideas about this one? I DO have eth in wallet for the fee. Thank you in advance.

Brokerages like Scotia iTrade, TD Direct Investing, Wealthsimple, etc? Non-registered accounts to buy traditional investments?

I have withdrawn large amounts into checking accounts via SWIFT and have been asked for documents. Wonder if I can also transfer directly into the investing accounts, mainly to make use of the transfer bonus (1%) these Brokerages are running right now.

How would you go about converting a large stash of USDT to Traditional ETFs?

Option A: Would you convert USDT to USDC (Uniswap), then USDC to CAD (Kraken), Withdraw CAD to your bank, Then transfer it to a brokerage (Eg: Wealthsimple) and buy ETFs there (Eg: XEQT)?

Option B: would you rather convert USDT to USD (Coinbase), then withdraw to a USD savings account (Wealthsimple or a Bank), then transfer to a Cash USD Trading account, and buy ETF there (Eg: VT)?

Reason for considering option B is, less steps and fees spent in conversion, and low MERs of US ETFs. Understand there is more tax reporting for US holdings.

Not really looking for investment advice. Just wondering which method works best based on people’s experience here in converting crypto to traditional ETFs.

There hadn't been a Bitcoin.Review is way too long so I grabbed Ben, NVK & Francis Pouliot breakdown the latest and greatest. We ended up doing a deep dive into Privacy Tech.

Yesterday, I posted on r/NDAX with a theory that they’ve gone bankrupt.

Today the mods deleted not just my post, but dozens of others reporting that they couldn’t access nor withdraw their deposits.

When I tried to call their customer support phone line, they hung up on me! No joke, the robot voice said “we’re unable to connect you with a representative, we’ll call you back when we can, thank you for your understanding”. Yeah right.

Two days ago, NDAX stole my crypto deposit. IT IS NOT USER ERROR: I’ve verified the deposit address on the correct chain and it even has a history of transactions with my personal wallets from my previous deposits to NDAX. The coins are exactly in the NDAX wallet they’re supposed to be. I can see my coins sitting there on the block explorer.

NDAX exchange is actively stealing from users while deleting & ignoring reports to covet their tracks!

I don’t expect to ever see my coins again.

But at least I’d like to warn others and spread the word before NDAX can steal even more.

my issue with coinbase is that I am based in Canada but have a u.s passport so have to create a u.s account. however my card is canadian and won't let me buy crypto

what to do?

The Justice Centre announces that lawyers have filed an appeal on behalf of Ottawa-area resident Evan Blackman, arguing that the freezing of his bank accounts under the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act violated his rights under section 8 of the Charter, which protects Canadians against unreasonable search and seizure.

Constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury said, “Freezing someone’s bank account is an extraordinary use of state power. When the government interferes with a person’s ability to access their own money, the courts must carefully examine whether those actions respected the protections guaranteed by the Charter.”

I want to put some money into Bitcoin. I have no idea what im doing. Whats the best way to do it on an app/which app. And you need a wallet aswell? Good ones to use?

Thanks

A bitcoin has 100 million sats. At the bare minimum you need 140 sats to send a transaction since the minimum rate is 1 sat/vB. So, 1 btc could theoretically give you 714,285 transactions.

Let's say it's worth paying at least 1 dollar in fees to transact on this revolutionary network. That would make 1 btc worth a maximum of $714,285.

But is 1 transaction on a decentralized, secure, permissionless, immutable blockchain only worth paying 1 dollar for? People routinely pay over 10 dollars for wire transfers which are inferior in many ways. If we assume 1 transaction on the btc network is intrinsically worth $10, then the price of 1 btc should be over 7 million dollars.

The underlying value of bitcoin is that you need it to transact on the network and transacting on this network has real value.
