Why do projects with good fundamentals dump?

I’m guessing most people that are negative toward Solana have never used it. Under normal circumstances it’s amazing to use. Yeah it has hiccups, but they’re being worked out. Ethereum also has hiccups, eg when gas prices soar to $50 or more. I want to send $1000. Do I send a test transaction? Great at $50 per tx it’s going to cost me 10%. That’s effectively unusable for many use cases. And yeah I can go L2, but L2 IME is nowhere near as nice as Solana. There’s room for both chains, they can serve different usecases
IME a lot of them have reclused themselves to personal networks, and do cool stuff with 1:1 mentoring of hand-selected new talents.
Algo's biggest issue has always been limited defi options IME, it's gotten better at least and the defi that is available is mostly pretty solid but it hasn't been nearly as competitive as many of the newer chains. Tons of newer chains get added to the bigger DEX's while algo is still absent from most after years. Was excited to hear about the Polygon/Algo cross chain stuff but haven't seen any updates.
I'm saying, that IME, not only is gifting unsuccessful, it actually has a negative effect. Money seems to work better in two cases * you understand it * you are forced to get /use it and develop stockholm syndrome IME, gifting just makes people think it is worthless or something they need to sell quick for something they actually do value.
Agree on coinbase, they've been rock solid IME since the very beginning. I also have been using strike to DCA. Btw months ago I asked Jack mallers directly on X, and he confirmed they do plan on eventually adding limit order purchases on strike app.
True to a perspective, perhaps. If it feels true to you, I'd like to hear your perspective. Intrinsic value has at least two distinct definitions, economic and philosophical. The economic definition is more like a tool for discovering underlying value to an asset. It's more often used for stocks and bonds, so won't fit quite as well to Bitcoin. It also relies on many variables, so different analysts can come to different conclusions about the intrinsic value of an asset. The philosophical definition of intrinsic value is about "value in itself" as opposed to instrumental value. For example, life can be argued to have intrinsic value in that life in and of itself has value. I think it would be difficult to argue Bitcoin has philosophical intrinsic value. The closest I can come up with is that it participates in some domains that can be argued to have intrinsic value: mythology and barter. Regardless, I think that argument would be a stretch. Also arguing any other specific asset has intrinsic value would have similar challenges, IME. When people are suggesting Bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value they often conflate the philosophical and economic definitions. Perhaps they mean to imply the philosophical definition, but the economic definition is implied because Bitcoin is a financial instrument and the economic definition actually makes a little more sense (ime) when discussing Bitcoin. Actually I don't think either definition, although interesting to me to think about, is usually too relevant to Bitcoin generally.
It does look interesting. Holy grail for me would be a usenet 2.0 that can kill reddit. > You only need to create one account and you can use it with all the apps created on this protocol. Im going to assume you mean its like a bitcoin private key, and not really an "account" pe se > What is Nostr Hrm, thanks for the link, but the video content is very high level and doesnt dive deep enough to answer my concerns. Also, IME, a protocol that works well for twitter type stuff tends to work poorly for example as a reddit. I havent looked too deeply into it yet, so I thought you might have a good idea. My two biggest question is: How does it solve the crowdsource knowledge problem ? Specifically, a website like reddit aggregates "votes" in order to show you what is popular. Twitter does a graph weighting to decide what tweets show up in your feed; in order to show you content that you didnt know you wanted to see. Both of those are inherently centralized algorithms that, AFAIK, do not have a scalable performant decentralized algorithm equivalent.
Bitcoin core will run on just about anything made in the last 15 years. It's not necessary to buy dedicated box for it. Since you will have a hardware wallet IME and drivers are not an issue.
To be honest I look for low view counts these days, that helps. But I've watched so many people sell out and become "market experts" for their viewers to keep them coming back. IME you just have to go straight to the developers and listen to their talkspaces and stuff.
Gifting to spouse in crypto is taxless, just dont sell to GBP first then send. You need all the paperwork showing where you bought and sent and that it was a gift. But IME they dont ever ask for detailed breakdowns and itd be so unlucky to get audited. I just upload a spreadsheet to my tax and never had any issues.
I saw some news that Cryptopay's partner that issues their VISA had their IME liscence revoked or something as well. Not sure if other exchanges that issue cards have similarly been affected. Hits against smaller exchanges generally fall to the wayside, so I doubt it was a singular incident that just happened to be in the last few days. This is clearly orchestrated.
We need everything in the crypto to be secure, wallets first, and the CEO of Giddy stated something I totally agree with, did someone reach out to you without asking? that's one of the main rules, IME that's always been a scammer.
Btw anyone looking for XMR, US or International doesn’t matter IME the best place to go to is LocalMonero.co 100% anonymous no ID needed. You just pick a seller of XMR who is in your dollar range and swap your XMR for BTC for example for the same dollar amount of XMR. You can also become a seller and “sell” your XMR in the same fashion by swapping to BTC, ETH, etc. The coins you can swap to is all chosen by the seller who is offering the XMR, they or you as a seller get to choose what coins are accepted in return for the XMR. Most sellers of XMR accept a very large variety of coins including stable coins too. You get that extra privacy as well due to both no KYC/ID needed for 99% of the sellers, and also you are swapping to a new coin before you actually get fiat for your XMR!
There are many types of fraud. Unexpected charges with crypto would be difficult (assuming one keeps track of their seed/keys) but vendors that don't deliver as agreed (no delivery at all, incorrect goods, damaged goods, etc.) and who don't make it right can still happen and are, IME, more common anyway. Also, if someone does lose their seed/keys, there is no recourse. One can keep a separate wallet just for payments to limit the damage, but one has to do that, and if one was making a large payment, the amount of damage can still be large.
I agree. What I'm referring to is the six digit code: its a good thing despite also making it easier for scammers. Its good, because its easy for normal users. And worrying about scammers is a waste of time, imo, because people should be smart enough not to get scammed. Its not the ATM's job to prevent scams, imo. IME: people who are being scammed are a lot more patient and can follow instructions better than people who are not being scammed. There really is no solution, because no matter how hard you make something to use, all you really eliminate are legitimate users and eventually your only customers are scam victims. The only solution is to laugh at scam victims and tell them to get good. Its tough love, but if they dont accept responsibility then the problem cannot be solved.
Nice to see ICP and Cubetopia get some love! Their ecosystem is so robust and fascinating I've probably used more ICP dapps than any other network by a very large margin. I like their tarot reading app and the Lo-fi beat making app lol. A lot of people hate on ICP but it's cheap and easy to use and there's a lot of fun random stuff as well as useful tools on the network. IME it all works very well.
IME, people did two things wrong. First and foremost, we (including myself) got too greedy and refused to believe that the bottom would fall out. There were clear signs that it was time to sell and most of us ignored them. Secondly, way too many people have this moral superiority complex about holding long term. They get wrapped up in the mission of cryptocurrency and refuse to act intelligently. In other words, it makes a lot more sense to sell when it becomes obvious that the bull run is ending, stand pat for months while the market continues to drop, then reinvest that same money back in when it's essentially bottomed out. There's no reward for holding the entire time instead of using the volatility to your advantage.
You see, statements like "The ethical case for privatizing anything is that if it's privatized it's part of the market, ant the market is a voluntary interaction" would have caused some people to laugh and some people to get really angry at worse, as especially the theory that supports the last statement is just an optimistic expectation at best as we see it. If you want my take, since yo sent me a whole 50min video, here you have my broken English dissertation on the matter: Context matters much more than the ideas, otherwise it's just idealism, which by definition is an unrealistic belief. Yes, you might be right in some contexts, privatizing might be ethical in that specific case or that specific market, but completely inmoral in some others. It may vary from ecosistem to ecosistem. It is not wise to express in absolutisms IME, and much less using terms as variable in interpretation and understanding as morality and ethics. As of roads, i can tell you what happened with privatization in my local area. I live in Spain if interested, I'm not an expert on highways either...It didn't work, it was a disaster, private companies gave too biased and too optimistic expectations and tried to lower cost and raise tolls in order to max profits, and they went bankrupt, country had to step in and rescue them, and guess with whose money? But even more locally, at my hometown, even for small things like the towns historical center pavement, it was a disaster too. Local companies gave too optimistic budgets, and hired inexperienced people at a low salary, who left after a couple of months because they had no incentives to work there, and hired another inexperienced guy with even less experience. It had to be redone 3 times, at x5 the money and x3 the time of what it would have costed, the last time it was the previous public company that did it, which paid more since profit was not a main concern (not even expected), which in turn meant that the professionals that worked there had more (way more) experience. Here there is the extended belief that some things are not meant to be directly profitable, but are instead expected to have an indirect impact on society, such as healthcare, prisons, roads, education etc.. and hence they should be kept public. And don't even try to touch some of those pilars and privatize them or you would be seen as straight up evil by most people, which in our local ecosistem, with a lot of people depending on easy access to those things and taxes being less expensive for the more vulnerable individuals of our society than just a free market system, you might as well be, at least IMO, but, even then, we might have different understandings of good and evil. Also, my opinion is probably not valid in other ecosistems that i have no experience in, as will yours and everyone else's. To put it into perspective, even for something as relatively simple as a diet to lose weight, one that works for me might not work for you, and we share 99% of the same genetic code. We need to have a similar nutrition history and similar environments for it to be likely (not surely) to work on both of us.
Because you don't own the fiat. It's a private currency that traps you and your government (also the plural "you") into lifetimes of servitude the longer you use it. Use BTC over MasterCard/Visa rails and you can get your chargebacks... but you're paying for that feature, due to merchants increasing prices of everything in their store by >3%. How often do you really utilize chargebacks for buying things in store?? Most chargebacks, IME, are from people compromising my credit card account, which is THEIR problem in the first place due to weak security. This is not a BTC problem if you use a passphrase with your seed!
IME backdoor is a reality now.
IME attack could do this. \#qubes #IME disabled hardware
Yea still not everyone uses crypto or know how to . Most of the people get their paycheck and just go to western union or IME nearby to send the money home .
SEE: IME Windows and Mac are not the tools for the job. \#Qubes-os.org
> can he actually do or change anything about bitcoin? No. Bitcoin core is determined by consensus which is sitting on a github repo. Microsoft could inject malicious code into the repo, but it would get picked up pretty fast and miners would likely reject the update. > Maybe raise the maximum number of bitcoin? Nope. Would require a fork- see above. > Or take bitcoin away from people? Nope. The only way you could "take bitcoin away from people" is either with a threat of state violence (i.e. banning possession or transactions), quantum cryptography (executing shor's algorithm, requiring a 1Mqubit+ processor), or targeted attack via malware (RAT, trojan, PSP/IME code execution, other 0day's from the glowey bois). Bottom line: nobody's taking your bitcoin anytime soon, and even if you're an enemy of the state or the state descends into totalitarianism it's just as difficult, if not more difficult to take your bitcoins than it would be to take your bank account, gold, or cash. > What access does he have if any? He has a very very large bitcoin portfolio. Probably between 10-50 wallets, containing several billion $ in bitcoin. Most of it hasn't moved since the early 2010's. He could theoretically dump his holdings by selling them to a sovereign state, company or private investor, which would bring down the value of bitcoin moderately. But it appears that whoever "satoshi" is, he's in it for the long haul and values his privacy so it's unlikely he'd liquidate his holdings all at once.
Timing the market rarely works, IME. Unless you have a crystal ball, that is…
4 years ago, AOC claimed we had 12 years left, you know, unless we assist policy and spending in the direction "they" prefer. https://news.yahoo.com/ocasio-cortez-world-going-end-150517060.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJx04_zmCJsHwuonoi9SbiAUM7zD8y-nuJMYVLpPiKsU2IME9EJ-JJ6s7du8m93S8Dx_LNGHidXMZwNAh5h0EvhXIJDhc_Bgmw535i0Cg5QAnPf63sePI4EdzXr1tKnEznLBpmMCsCAzo4Fk6XkzxFYBrZTkhO-uIjtonEgr2Zby That base eats it up, "conspiracy guys" or not. But, I digress. I already went too far considering the topic in this sub.
Not a dev/engineer, but my understanding is basically everything we have done on computers since 2013 is technically compromisable due to Intel Management Engine / AMD Platform Security Processor found in modern CPUs IME seems to have full access to RAM and TCP/IP stack for sending/receiving data. Several privacy organizations have deemed it to be a backdoor.
It's not only on crypto. Well, I might only have a paltry sum of OP's gambling cash, but it is possible for your gains to be wiped in a single event and/or bad call even though you did right couple of hundred times. Case in point IME: gains on stocks that I held got lost post Covid outbreak. it is what it is; I should have had held it longer etc. It has happened, best to move forward.
JSYK those are probably the worst numbers to pick. Humans are, let's say predictable. Everyone and their grandma has a sell order for BTC at $100K, and every whale knows this ahead of time so will short the ever living shit out of BTC at 99.5K. One person might sell at 100K then it will very quickly cascade down to 95K due to no buy pressure, then panic will ensue, and you'll never get your very *round* 100,000 order filled, unless it's already well above 100K. IME you'll have much better luck setting orders like 97.44K BTC and 9694 ETH and 97.23 ATOM etc. Look at different currencies too, to make sure you don't accidentally pick a round number in another big currency. When two currencies line up, like 20K USD is the same as 30K CAD/EUR sometimes, there's very strong resistance because *both* countries are selling in neat round numbers (humans mirite). 30K USD is like 32K EUR so if the currencies don't line up that wall of resistance is smaller, and the coin has an easier time climbing in price. But you don't want to set your order at 32K EUR if that's 30.1K USD because it will have a much harder time getting triggered (you want 29.9 USD instead, the US are whales). 100K EUR is 96K USD so that might actually work out anyways. I'd still be more conservative anyway. There've been so many times I'm prepared to sell, move my coins on to an exchange, and the market nosedives immediately to never recover. I was going to start DCA out of BTC at 70K... Well. If you have enough profit that you're worried about taxes, you should probably hire a tax guy for a couple K to sort things out for you. If you swap to a stablecoin that's a taxable event anyway. I just declare my gains as 'additional income' here and let them figure it out if they want to, but I'm not in the UK.
>Languages I would save till later, but still come back and learn when you can: > >python - wallets such as electrum are written in this, but they are rife with bugs and quirksGo - lots of daemons and bitcoin services are written in this, but IME they tend to be unstable to lockup/crash a lot.Rust - its like C, but covered in chains and manacles. IT will take a lot more effort to fully read and understand the code, and a mountain more to actually contribute or do anything. Also, rust is still a fresh new trendy thing which may or may not stand the test of time. poorly written code / products are little to no reflection on the language... as an example, NASA, Spotify & Instagram are all using python based web frameworks to power their services...
Core is in a rather quirky version of C++, a bit over-typed and a bit tangled up and interdependent, but it is the living beating heart of bitcoin so you cant avoid it. There is also [bitcoinjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcoinjs-lib) which is a fantastic and quick way to get hands on coding experience with bitcoin. so the languages to master right away are * javascript * modern C++ Languages I would save till later, but still come back and learn when you can: * python - wallets such as electrum are written in this, but they are rife with bugs and quirks * Go - lots of daemons and bitcoin services are written in this, but IME they tend to be unstable to lockup/crash a lot. * Rust - its like C, but covered in chains and manacles.

You could just as easily say: 1. Encourages investment outside of fiat. 2. Rewards leveraged investment in real property and durable goods. 3. Inflated property value. (For many people in the US, their home is their largest investment at retirement.) IME, whether wage increases keep up with the desired 2-4% inflation largely depends on education (one having saleable skills), adaptability and ability to acquire new skills that are in demand, and some willingness to take a risk and change jobs. Taxes are a percentage of income. If one's income doesn't keep up with inflation, then one's taxes also don't keep up with inflation. It's in the government's interest to have average income increases exceed inflation so that revenues also exceed inflation.
I’d either go with CB or Kraken. Only caveat to Kraken IME is you can’t set limit orders without using Kraken Pro, and on-ramp with fiat on KP requires wiring which come with some heavy fees.
Lying may be a little strong. IME there are certain Bitcoin enthusiasts that are a little delusional about what it is versus what they wish it to be. It's more of a lack of objectivity than purposeful lying.
Yea as someone who doesn't trade... TA is just a history of what was possible and how much interest was generated in the asset over IME and due to development/other events. Not much use when your plan is to DCA
Strong fundamentals do matter. Seems to me that your understanding what strong fundamentals are, is a bit different from its actual meaning. 1 quick look at IME shows me its just shit tbh.
Strike is 100% free to withdraw to an on chain wallet, IME. THE exact number of sats in my Strike wallet matches the transaction sats, precisely. 0.025% spread on purchases is another topic, which is still the cheapest in the game ANYWAY... soooo... Yea...
>but honestly the whole process is more convoluted than half the DeFi platforms I use. Buy $2 ETH. Bridge ETH. Move moons. Done. *What* in DeFi is more simple than that? Moons are how all crypto works IME.
Same, I don’t have as many as you but had are down, if you have remote access you can reset when the sun goes down and get 10 hours out of those which I recommend because IME leaving them on but not hashing can result in hash board failures
Either on the black market by now, on the deep web or setting up a node. Still no way of tracing back t8 the culprit, even with the IME
I do not think OP meant to sound racist, there are unsophisticated investors of all ethnicities. It’s not a stretch to say people with less means (excess funds) to invest *on average* likely possess less investment expertise but of course it’s wrong to make sweeping generalizations. I saw one of these ATMs in the wild (was in a poorer area in the middle of nowhere central California FWIW.) For a 90k sats withdrawal the fee was ~18k sats. You can draw your own conclusions from that. It reminded me of predatory paycheck lenders whose profits rely on the unbanked spending inordinate %s in fees because they lack the option to avoid them. And I haven’t seen many of these ATMs in more affluent areas of LA. IME, people in more affluent areas use cash considerably less (like not at all for most people I know.) I think the main point was these are a ripoff. You’re better off getting a cash.app card or something, sending some sats to that wallet, converting it to fiat and withdrawing at a cashier at Family dollar or something.
tldr; Imperium Empires has launched a staking program that rewards long-term IME token holders that continuously support the project instead of pure speculators. The IME-AVAX LP pool has a much higher pool weight and APR to incentivize liquidity provision since liquidity providers are at risk of Impermanent Losses. Guild Staking also entitles you to start guilds and get exclusive guild perks. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*
IME Metamask (the one with the fox logo) is the one that's like a standard
Bankless offer pretty good content on crypto, and they're Ethereum centric (the place people seem to get confused/hurt most). They do like 10 podcasts a week and 7+ articles, always up to date news, sometimes massive alpha leaks (like new airdrops-before the snapshot). Bankless makes crypto a lot easier to digest. https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ https://banklesshq.com/tag/beginner/ That's what I send to people who ask me what this all is. Then people learn *if* they're interested, without being overwhelmed, and I don't have to worry about them getting fed misinformation the entire time. Medium articles etc. in crypto are all incentivized so often they're good but often they're very bad too. --- The first person I ever got into crypto thought it was so stupid to buy *0.01X BTC* so they asked me to send them 50,000 doge instead for $100. He held it through a 10x and sold at break even like a nub, then turned into the biggest anti crypto purponent I've ever met leading me to paper hand my bags too like a *mega* nub. Now we don't talk anymore and all I think when I hear their name is that we both could have retired if his reaction was just a little more cool than it was. I'm sure he's seen the news at 69c and thinks the same way, actually he probably bought more at the peak cos he's a dumbass but whatever. My point is since I've been in crypto as a solo investor it's been SO much easier to stay unemotional and detached from everything. I couldn't imagine doing this with friends and family involved, it'd make me sick. This is not simply a casino despite common knowledge otherwise. I vent advice on Reddit into the void so my family friends and coworkers can live sane lives. The very very odd time someone approaches me for crypto advice I give them reading material (sometimes just research papers or thesis if they're 'old fashioned') then pretend I don't know anything until they seem like they might get themselves into trouble then suddenly I know everything, then back to nothing. If you've ever worked on cars this is great advice too. The minute someone thinks you can fix their car is the minute they ask you to. Nothing and I mean nothing good comes from that, even if you fix it just right and they're happy 2 weeks later they'll hit a pothole or blame you for their knocking engine. Just IME anyways after working on a few different crapboxes. I could gift someone free BTC and they'll manage to find a way to leverage themselves into debt and blame me, I'd bet.. All the info is there online, here, same way I learned, have at er.
Good point that not everyone see it that way, but the consideration was what the public sees (which I don’t think I was clear about). IME, the general public sees it as “a bunch of people trying to get rich quick” which does not lend credibility to the discussion.
I had 2... the issue that occurred for me was the cosmos ecosystem isn't very mobile friendly(IME, please show the way if it's easier). But ALGO? Wow. I love it. The ASA assets and tinyman, the fun I'm having with all the different projects... I've experience rug pulls(nothing too major? Even though 2-100$ ones sucked), I've learned about staking and LP and impermanent loss(I think that's what it's called, the term may be wrong but I get the concept), NFTs that do and don't have utility that I've 6x my returns on one... It's been fun. Not even the money but all the cool shit you can do...
> It has access to memory, which can be encrypted by the OS, What if it also has access to the key for encryption and how can RAM be useful if it's encrypted all the time? I believe it also has access to the hard drive. Sure you can try full disk encryption but if you use your PC, then it has to be unencrypted. Yes people can use OSs like Whonix or GrapheneOS but hardware backdoors are a big problem since it can't be overwritten. There's a method for disabling IME but it requires a lot of expertise.
The IME isn't the kind of backdoor I'm talking about. It has access to memory, which can be encrypted by the OS, and TCP/IP stack, which can be snooped/spoofed anyway. My point wasn't to say that any internet connected device is safe, but that you can severely reduce the amount of data you're leaking into the world by using security-driven OS's. The point is that privacy is a thing of the past, and honestly, the NSA is probably the least of your worries. The corporate entities that have more direct access are even worse.
Apparently IME is risking exactly that. :|
Have you heard of Brave browser and BAT? Thats another nice little stream of crypto. Basically Brave is a privacy oriented browser with optional ads for which you get paid in BAT (Basic Attention Token). Depending on your country you can get a nice stack going on for just using your computer. Nothing major but you never know when an extra 10-20 bucks is crucial. And the browser is really good IME. Has a built-in adblock and other nice features. Chromium based. Check /r/brave_browser and /r/BATProject for more information.
BTC is 100% traceable if your cashing out through exchanges along with your IP address and IME.
I've tried Koinly and it comes up with some nonsense cost basis, even if I enter the purchase cost manually. Cryptotaxcalculator works better IME but I still need to double-check it manually to make sure I'm paying the right tax, and that's a darn sight easier if there's only 12 income events per coin, rather than 365. I don't know what you mean about "pick the best rates possible". If you received x coins on y date and they were worth $z at that time, that's the income you have to pay tax on, regardless of whether those coins drop 90% before the end of that tax year. So you'd better make sure you've put aside enough money to pay that tax.
Former addict here. Despite what all the enablers will tell you, it's 100% on you, and no rehab will help you any more than you are willing to help yourself. IME, as long as you have that shitty, victim "I can't stop" attitude, you won't get anywhere. There's not really any magic trick to it, you need to gain some control over your life and your mental state, rather than letting it rule you. It's harsh, but it's true. The good news is that $5000 debt on a SWE salary is peanuts. Sell your holdings, close your accounts, pay off your debt, and build a nest egg. You'll be over this in no time. Here are some things that help. They aren't fix-alls, but stepping stones: Find another way to spend your time, eat well (no garbage food), exercise, and make sure you go outside for at least 1 hour a day if you don't already. I work out 5-6 days a week, go for a walk every day, play video games, and learn new things. The biggest thing is just one day at a time. If you fuck up today, make sure you do better tomorrow. Don't beat yourself up, just reinforce the boundary that what you did was unwanted and unacceptable. That's my 2c, take it or leave it. Again, the enablers will probably downvote this to hell, throw verbal abuse at me, etc (no I won't be replying to any of you). But I guarantee 99% of them have never overcome an addiction. Let alone multiple.
IME most TCG players hate the pay to win nature of the genre. NFTs would just make it worse.
>Nope, don't equate actual movements with actual hardships to a bunch of over privileged people that don't understand what freedom and liberties are. Not my point, my dude. Just because it's not your point of view doesn't mean it's somehow evil to support it. >And I live in a country where I am comfortable enough to trust in the process, so if you got your account frozen, there are remedies to fix it. How long do you think that might take? They can shut you out with a flip of a switch, and the process to redeem yourself goes through the court system. I don't know if you have any experience with it, but IME it is PAINFULLY slow. I expect that if there are a significant number of affected, it could take years to even get a hearing. Meanwhile, these people are condemned to freeze to death. This is especially scary for people who might be mistakenly caught in the crossfire. Imagine if you didn't even support the movement, but a typo caused Elderberry-smells to be entered instead of ElderberrySmells. Now you're fucked, and you've done nothing wrong. This is a dic move, and JT seems to be okay with looking like a dic(tator)
4% on the CB card is unbeatable by fiat cards IME. I also have the fold card, and it's gamified with a wheel you spin to determine how much you get back with each purchase, they highest I've had is around 12% back in BTC. Both cards crush fiat-back cards IMO.
lol at IME bagholders, where yall at. told u all dont fucking touch it
It's funny people think banks are against crypto, banks are full of finance bros, if it makes them money then they fucking love it. IME the primary reason a lot of banks don't like processing transactions to crypto exchanges is because of the scams. Credit card thieves love Bitcoin and since it's immutable the bank will always have to pick up the tab during a fraud case.
He is right. IME. Maybe I am wrong. I am out for now. Thank god for USDT. We Used to not have that option in crypto, it was just sell and fees. Anyway, I wait for tomorrow.
They really do. Kraken has kept me haply thus far, they have typical response times but they are loads better than the other exchanges cs departments IME.
iPhone learning curve vs self custody of Bitcoin is a poor comparison. A toddler can learn how to navigate an iPhone before the age of two because a touch interface is more intuitive than any other form of input we have. Also disagree slightly on “no one knowing how to type” typing as a skill has been around and common for decades. QWERTY keyboard is from like 1875 and the typewriter has been around longer than that. Searching Google is just learning how to ask questions think critically and use Boolean operators, these weren’t brand new concepts to people.
