not sure I understand this.
As a miner must I check what pools are licensed?
I don't think so. It would be provable that the sats sent to you were proceeds from newly minted block rewards - I can't see how they could possibly imply money laundering in this case.
BTC sent to hashers is a product of block rewards and fees that might be paid by money launderers... Arguably miners are facilitating the money-laundered derived transactions.
Properly cited for view-ability which meant that I fixed your image by taking the spaces out of both of the sides of your "=" sign
----- like cygan mentioned..
Somehow, the situation feels similar to the spring-summer of 2017: the whole space undergoes growth while being at a tremendous assault of external factors.
Nobody knows what will transpire-it is really a "give" and "take". In 2017 the situation resolved bullishly, resulting in 10-15X in just a few months.
It is not clear to me that we have a similar situation here, but a bullish resolution is possible.
Sun Tzu said If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
I guess, bitcoin just have to wait long enough...I just don't see how a geometrically increasing debt situation can be resolved in a positive fashion.
It might take a decade, though.
Unfortunately, I don't have an extra decade in which to contemplate this without taking action, so started my distribution out of the space to something both physical (renovations, RE projects) and spiritual (travel).
Did not start with bitcoin, of course, but I am no longer in accumulation phase generally speaking after a decade or so.
Judging by 2017, I have a terrible timing for my sales...so whatever satoshis I will peel off this year-enjoy the discount when buying your stash!
If you have reached a state of overaccumulation, then no problem shaving off a certain amount of satoshis every month, quarter, year or whatever might be your logistical and/or accounting timeline.
However, if you are in a state that you have accumulated enough but you have not quite got to a place where you feel that you have over accumulated, then maybe you either have to withdraw more slowly or wait somewhere later down the road to withdraw.
Of course, you seem to not think about bitcoin in the same ways as I do, so in that regard, you may well be looking more for tops in the sense of following raking methods (as the price goes up) rather than time-based withdrawals which may be monthly, quarterly and/or yearly but surely you could still adjust the size of your time-based withdrawals (upwardly or downwardly) based on relative height of BTC prices
(relative to the 200-WMA, for example)Long live the longs! Stay strong, part 2 of the bull is coming.
Even though a lot of folks are seeming depressed, I think that we still have some more uppity.. 12-18 months.. but yeah, there can be some stifling effect when the actual value propositions of bitcoin (self-custody) are seemingly ongoingly under attack and maybe moreso in recent times.
