Well im glad you didn't get a 60's model, then I'd label that purchase as reckless... Because I also factor in utility into my car purchases...I'm not a rich man, the primary reason for cars is utility...can I get 10,000 reliable miles per year and between servicings? Your 2014 Shelby, and my 1994 Toyota MR2 GT-S, i'd certainly trust them. But a 68 Shelby GT500...you know I think those are awesome cars, but it'd be entirely impractical to try and get so little as maybe even 5,000 miles a year out of a car like that. That's why I look for practical fun/collector cars. One of the biggest arguments in favor of an old MR2 is it's surprisingly cheap to own/operate like any other used Toyota almost, but it looks and sounds the part of a wealthy persons car.

My dream car was a 93-02 mkiv supra tt manual...if i liquidated my bitcoins i could have bought one and lived out my dream and have no bitcoin. I understand the urge, i really do. Unfortunately i wound up settling on a 1994 Toyota MR2 GT-S instead. It's no supra, but its fun and good enough i suppose even while not garnering neither the respect and admiration the old supras do, and i still got to.hold onto some investment in bitcoin as well.

>The criticism I have typically seen of QE is not that it automatically would lead to hyperinflation but that it would create asset price inflation of financial assets. There's limited evidence of this as well. After all, asset prices climbed markedly in eras with minimal reserve levels. If anything, asset prices are propped up by beauty contests and flights to quality/safety. This is *commercial* banks lending money into the economy; but not being placed into productive vehicles (innovative businesses/entrepreneurship that have higher risk, but achieve rising QoL for everyday folks). Instead, banks these days exceedingly lend to large borrowers that show lower risk (and at lower rates). A bank may lend to Apple at a very low rate, but not lend at all to a risky new small business (effectively an infinite rate). Or the bank will just chase low risk yield (Gov't debt), or other less productive acquisitions. Same goes for individuals. A high net worth person will get loans at lower rates, and buy real estate/stocks/etc. This is a flight to safety by the banks. >So isn't it possible that the inflationary effect of QE was simply delayed rather than eliminated? Isn't this part of the problem with housing? During the pandemic, a lot of people cashed out financial assets and bought homes all over the country? QE doesn't factor. The ills are fully explicable via commercial bank lending. >Also, just politically, do you think the fed can re-institute QE if there is a widespread feeling that "everything is getting more expensive and wages aren't keeping up?" The Fed could do QE/QT whenever it wants. The end result is just moving government bonds from a bank's balance sheet to the Fed's and increasing reserve levels. It is later unwound (QT) and bonds generally end back where they came or run off.. and new bonds are acquired by the bank. It's largely *sentimental*. QE is supposed to make folks *feel like* the Fed is doing something.. "printing money" or "supporting markets". The end result is miniscule at best. It's just trying to goose people's expectations. Looking at a FOMC meeting from the [early 2000's -PDF](https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/FOMC20030625meeting.pdf), we can see the level of concern the Fed had over engaging in QE like Japan had done before them: >CHAIRMAN GREENSPAN. Governor Gramlich. MR. GRAMLICH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This discussion is going to be impossible for anybody to make sense out of because we’re all throwing our wisdom, or lack of it, out there! I will do likewise, and let somebody else worry about where it goes. >... If we started doing more quantitative targeting, how would we do it? That is, do we want 5, 6, or 7 percent money growth, and over what time period do we want that growth—for three months or six months? There are a lot of issues involved, and I don’t know how to sort through them. Notice the language of *targeting* money growth using QE; not actually growing money, not printing.. and the fuzziness of whether QE would work for that purpose (QE had already not worked for Japan). >I think we’d have to be quite vague here, but one thing that gives me some optimism about this is that when it comes to vagueness I think this group is hard to beat. [Laughter] Heh. >CHAIRMAN GREENSPAN. Governor Kohn. MR. KOHN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Let me try to react to some of what I’ve heard today.... We’re all learning in this process, and I think the process needs to go on. One lesson that I drew from Japan was that not only did the Japanese get down to zero on the interest rate and not only did they try each new policy and say they were going to take it back, they didn’t give any sense of where they were going. They were lurching from one policy to the next, each time saying that they didn’t think it would work. So I do believe it’s important that we decide before we get to the point where such policies (QE) need to be triggered—and I’ll come to that issue next—at least on a very rough sequence of what we will do and **how we will talk to the public about it. We don’t need to be very specific; but before we begin to use nontraditional techniques, I think we need to talk about them publicly and create a sense of continuity and confidence in our policymaking, which I believe was absent in Japan.** So, the difference between QE in Japan and QE in the United States? Communication of expectation... the hope that communication of their policy will be the difference in real world outcome.. *not the policy itself*. Because QE doesn't do anything significant.

Ran Neuner - COMPLETE SNAKE. Friends with some of the worst scum in the industry. Pumps and dumps on his audience while constantly telling them they are 'fam'. Clueless about price movements. DESTROYED his followers by having them heavily invested in the LUNA ecosystem. Ben Armstrong - possible sociopath. His sense of his own intelligence is massively overblown. Financially wrecked his followers based on advice from a guru called MR X who was feeding him info. Armstrong later admits he never even knew who MR X was.... just a guy sending him texts... I Am George - Dumb as dogshit. Advised his followers to buy LUNA when it started crashing. Advised his followers to hold all the way from the market top to the market bottom. All he does is read news articles and poach twitter content. The most overrated guy in the space. Datadash - seems like a nice genuine guy - but CLUELESS.

Here's a transcript from the SBF trial, questioning gary wang co-founder of FTX. Q. Did you commit financial crimes while working at FTX? A. Yes. Q. What types of crimes did you commit? A. Wire fraud, securities fraud, and commodities fraud. Q. Did you commit these crimes by yourself or with other people? A. With other people. Q. Who were the main people you committed these crimes with? A. **Sam Bankman-Fried, Nishad Singh, and Caroline Ellison.** Q. You're talking about Alameda Research? A. Yes. Q. Okay. We'll come back to it in a minute. When you say withdrew unlimited amounts of funds, whose funds are you talking about? A. Those of customers. Q. Let's talk about——sorry. And customers of what? A. Customers of FTX. Q. Mr. Wang, do you see any of the people you committed those crimes with in the courtroom today? You can stand up if you need to. A. Yes. Q. Who do you see? A. Sam Bankman-Fried. MR. ROOS: Let the record reflect the witness has identified the defendant. Q. Mr. Wang, in general terms for now, what did you do with the defendant that was the wire fraud you were referring to? A. We gave special privileges to Alameda Research on FTX, which allowed it to withdraw unlimited amounts of funds from the platform, and we lied about this to the public. Q. When you say withdrew unlimited funds from the platform, what are you referring to? A. **It had the ability to, regardless of what was in the account, to withdraw unlimited amounts of money.** So, essentially they were their own FED, printing unlimited amounts of money, untill it all collapsed.

The Bank manager does have a point. Fiat currency and PoS coins cost at least the same amount of resources to create , regulate and secure as Bitcoin. There is an inescapable reality for any asset or currency that as it increases in value the production costs and costs to secure increase as well . This is demonstrated in the economic axiom: MC=MR “Rent” always forces production costs (MC) to always equal sale prices (MR) PoS currencies and fiat are simply more abstract and complex forms or Proof of Work that use more human involvement (which uses tremendous amounts of resources and has a tremendous environmental impact) as a PoW coin like Bitcoin. Humans instead of ASICs are shouldering more of the work to create, regulate , and secure each of those currencies; This is "work" whether it involves burning electricity directly or food and electricity that humans consume to perform their work. This is an inescapable economic reality. The more valuable something is the more it will cost to secure it because the more effort will be made to steal and or control it. This applies to any currency or asset. This is also better understood with the dollar auction dilemma. In a hypothetical auction where a bidding war is fighting over the right to mint a 1 dollar bill how much do you think people will be willing to spend for this power ?

>You know the truth, but you keep pushing the lie I would say that Crypto is a far better way forward than the current financial system, if thats the truth you alluding to? I've been a big advocate of the space since 2016. But, what lie is being pushed while opening up a dialogue and trying to understand one of the only concerns I have in space I've actually been extremely publicly supportive of? If the only thing you are grumpy about is the fact that I said 'MR SATOSHI HAS 5% OF THE BTC IN HIS BTC CASTLE', I'm sorry, from what I have gathered and the information that has been around for years, I still find it a hard thing to understand and wanted to understand more on this, from my understanding, and the posts in here, even the experts say its down to .75M (even though no one can agree). I'll go wait under my bridge like a good troll... obviously.

This is not a shill at all, and I always advise people to do their own research, for friends I tell them because I know for a fact they won’t do it. So your thoughts and others might be different to mine.. Alt coins I hold right now, and large bags are VRA - Patent approved and have already shown results that cut down BOT traffic on websites etc from around 68% to 1% which saves advertisers millions in revenue, along with a lot more things, also survived previous bear market. XCAD - a plug in for YouTube that allows people to earn money whilst watching YouTube and “creator tokens” that give access to perks from the YouTubers, MR Beast and KSI are investors and will have their own token coming these are my 2 biggest bags right now. I believe both could absolutely explode, especially Xcad, people are crazy for their favourite YouTubers and they already have a way for users to buy crypto with a press of a button, very simple. QNT, VXV and TEL and KDA are others im also massively into… if I had to shill, it would be VRA and XCAD, I don’t think you can go wrong, at all…

This is going to be an up and down journey. Back in the early days I thought we would not get to where we were when CT crashed in for a year or two. Early Eyes and baby projects pump a market for early adopters but it pushes a project over its skis. Look around now, take a read on what people think about Zuck’s pivot to the Metaverse. Then check back in a month after Apple drops their MR (Reality One or Reality Pro) goggles and see what the market and masses are saying about the Facebook pivot. Then check in 6 months later when using a UE5 GPT plugin to spin up a virtual world that looks like a AAA game is as easy as posting a tweet……and 6 months after that when you start seeing reports of people marrying their Agents in VR—waifuGPTs everywhere.

Why do XMR guys think its fair to call other crypto owners "bagholders"? Like you ain't defendin' XMR cuz you got a big bag of it right? FO here that's what I mean, you're a hypocrite and your community is full of ppl like you which is mad annoying. We get it, you like XMR, **leave us alone already!!** Why do we gotta read 10 threads on this stupid useless coin every day and when someone actually got somethin' to say that ain't "lol XMR is the best", you start with the "bagholder" talk, like you some kinda saint that is only "here for the tech". You're pathetic guy And why you tellin' me what I presumed? I didn't presume **no such thing** and you prove my point. Only the XMR cats are so **egotistical** that they would sit up there and try to tell **you** what **your motivations and presumptions are**. I mean, is it any wonder why you cats gotta keep forcin' this stupid coin into the convo? **Its because everyone hates you and your selfish and forceful attitudes.** You suck all the fun out of crypto with your blatant hypocrisy and lies in defense of all things XMR. You always lie and argue like deciptive ppl. Ya'll claim that XMR is better than DASH in every way, but DASH's coinjoin ain't never been broken like this. Not for 5 years not for 5 minutes, so where do you get off pretendin' like Shitero is better than DASH? The BARE MINIMUM is that your privacy not be cracked for years. Oh and don't forget the OSPEAD attack from 2021, which is still not fixed. So that's TWO privacy breaks for a coin where privacy is its only purpose. What you gotta say to that, huh MR. XMR FLUFFER? Also, if you REALLY was readin' the article, you'd quote this part too, but you're biased and lying so you wouldn't do that: >On the issue of identifying coins based on analyzing the timing of transactions, however, Spagni admits there's no simple solution. "There are steps we can take to continue to improve the sampling, but the reality is that this isn’t a solvable problem by just pecking away at it," he says. "We need to have a better scheme that allows us to sample a much bigger set \[of coins\]." But he also notes that the larger the set of decoy coins in every transaction, the more storage Monero requires on users' computers and the longer its transactions take. "We're trying to find the balance," he says. The founder of the coin says there's basically **no way** to fix it, which means you ain't said a damn thing!

It will be cool to come back to this thread in a year. Not sure if people are ready for the GPT plug-in mania. How insane even the InworldAI free demo is….or the new procedural world generation is in UE5. And what it means when there’s a robust UE5 GPT-4/5 plug-in. People get stuck in Now. I would have mocked you if you told me anyone would ever buy anything online or there’d be apps to rent your home or pick someone up in your car when I was in my 20s. The internet was slow. Boring. The phone in my hand back in 99 would seem like an alien device. Something 50 years away not 20. It’s one thing to look at our existing virtual worlds and laugh at the concept. Until you understand the distance from immersion in a modern game and what Presence will feel like in a few years is miles and miles. But then you try out a Quest. You understand what Presence means. You get lost trying to get better in Beat Saber and when you take the goggles off it feels like you came back from another world. ….and when one person can spin up a photorealistic world with a free plugin and free UE5/6? In a few months? Weeks? Days? When virtual worlds (2D, MR and VR) are filled with AI Agents that are so realistic you are not sure if they are human or an AI? …..that’s when you will understand why Zuck tossed the Hail Mary. Or you will just plop on your friends Reality One/Pro when Apple decides to enter the chat later this year and feel what Presence actually is….and sort of be in awe that you thought this whole Metaverse thing was a joke. Then a few months later you are spending hours just chilling with your AI waifu in VR on a giant floating sailing ship with dragons wings in the world your cousin spent six months spinning up with a few GPT plugins.

As cyrptography and technology advance to become more penatrative, so to do the defensive aspects develop. Not only on a theoretical note, but on a practical and economic one the resources it would take - in time, money, man power, and expertise - to 'hack bitcoin' lets say would be astronomical, and better spent on securing the network. Moreover, I like to keep up to date on quantum mechanics becasue I work with MR imaging, so the understanding of atom dynamics helps me in my work; the arguemnt that any of this is actaully even 'quantum' is **iffy at best**, just my young professional opinion.

Those long comment chains of bots talking about a mysterious investor - they’re getting better. Obviously, people who grew up on the internet can see right through it, but I can *easily* see grandmas and less tech-savvy people being duped by it. Bot 1: I was almost dying and had no money to cure myself. Thanks to the help of a friend, I not only beat cancer, but now am rich! Bot 2: Wow I was in the same position. Except he also made my dick huge! Bot 3: Don’t tell me your talking about Mr. Dong Long? Mr. Dong Long has been an amazing friend and has helped me turn my $200 into $30,000! Bot 4: Mr Dong Long is the best investor on the internet right now. Mr Dong along is so great that he, Mr Dong Long helped me build a house for my family. Mr Dong Long cured my sisters tumors and my husbands psoriasis. Thank god for Mr Dong Long. MR DONG LONG is great

The more valuable something is the more it costs directly and indirectly to secure it. This is the same with Fiat currency , PoW currencies or PoS currencies. You always need energy to do this , even if it involves humans. There is an inescapable reality for any asset or currency that as it increases in value the production costs and costs to secure increase as well . This is demonstrated in the economic axiom: MC=MR “Rent” always forces production costs (MC) to always equal sale prices (MR) PoS currencies and fiat are simply more abstract and complex forms or Proof of Work that use more human involvement (which uses tremendous amounts of resources and has a tremendous environmental impact) as a PoW coin like Bitcoin.

>BTC has never witnessed a macro economic environment like this before It is fairer to suggest the implosion of mtgox in 2014 and the 2017 blocksize wars was far more dangerous times for bitcoin than a global recession. The reality is that Bitcoin is much more secure now than years ago. >and is strongly correlated with the likes of the NSDQ. This is a very recent correlation due to newer institutional investors. Historically Bitcoin is an uncorrelated asset class and will lose that correlation in the next bull market I predict. The disinflationary schedule has a profound effect upon the market cycles in Bitcoin which is not found in equities. >what would this mean for BTC? None of us knows the perfect time to invest or can predict the price . The intelligentsia of the market is the combined knowledge of all humans and algorithms which is more than knowledge than anyone can have. Also bitcoin is so scarce that a single wealthy investor can significantly move the market in secret and unannounced. Rather than trying to time the market , let time work for you. **Time in the market will tend to beat timing the market** It is highly likely that a bull market will occur in mid to late 2024 due to the halving however. Bitcoin does not necessarily need new adoption to go through these market cycles of appreciation as the same buying pressure from existing users will cause these bull markets due to the disinflationary 4 year events. >The ‘institutions’ are not coming Institutions have been regularly investing in Bitcoin. https://bitcointreasuries.net/ It will not occur all at once and is a slow process , but bitcoin is so scarce that even a single institution can dramatically effect the price. >ESG compliance, Bitcoin has an important role in solving ESG compliance as it incentivizes investment into renewable energy and it uses waste energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkeZVcGsva8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFYKq5Qe1Bs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vROP40L9Bg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCkHEqxDsYQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu156PvA-NI >‘We have seen this all before, Mt Gox etc’ No we haven’t. Never before has so much been lost by so man Mtgox was a much bigger event than these recent collapses by the % of people effected and the amount of Bitcoin stolen. > that the coming regulation is likely to be punitive in the extreme. Regulation will encourage more self custody which is a good thing for Bitcoin. >For retail it is highly likely that regulators will seek to control all on and off ramps making it near impossible to own or realise any gains. You don't need on and off ramps with Bitcoin but any regulations you speak about can often easily be dealt with, but you are being very vague here as to what you are suggesting will happen to address directly. >There will be no ETF, ever. This would actually be a great thing. An ETF is a double edged sword and we should encourage more self custody or at least multisig for institutional investors >Energy usage is an issue regardless of the facts of environmental impact . Fiat currency and PoS coins cost at least the same amount of resources to create , regulate and secure as Bitcoin. There is an inescapable reality for any asset or currency that as it increases in value the production costs and costs to secure increase as well .

You are being a bit hyperbolic here. The main thing that brings people into bitcoin is speculation, not only. Also after they learn more these people often end up appreciating bitcoin for multiple reasons over time. >what is the narrative that would bring new people to this space? 1) **Save money** - I like to save money with various services like lolli.com, ln.pizza ,foldapp.com,purse.io, or bitrefill.com (Bitcoin achieves this by credit and gift card arbitrage opportunities thus creating an efficiency) 2) **Digital Gold** - Bitcoin is very desirable and scarce and since it is an uncorrelated asset class your portfolio is better hedged to be a safer way of finding alpha 3) **Timestamping** - Tweetstamp, and opentimestamps are useful timestamping tools 4) **Insurance** - If my bank account or credit cards get lost or stolen or account is frozen Bitcoin is a great alternative to store value 5) **Censorship Resistance**- I can make donations to organizations like defense distributed or wikileaks even if their payment processors and banks are shutoff due to unethical political pressure 6) **Sovereignty** - As a Business I can accept value even if I am deplatformed or banned from banking 7) **Micro transactions** microtxs are simply not possible with fiat , where I can do so with my BTC lightning wallet 8) **Security** SSS and multisig with CLTV and other scripts allow for novel methods to secure ones wealth 9) **Privacy** with electronic fiat I have no privacy unlike with Bitcoin transactions where I am given a choice between privacy or transparency with each wallet 10) **Global** I can travel the world , rent hotels and buy plane tickets and withdraw local currency easily without fears of credit card fraud. I can send payments to employees in foreign countries easily 11) **Interesting and fun** It is fascinating mixture of technology, game theory, security, mathematics, politics, and economics that never bores me

This is bullish. People usually go through stages in understanding bitcoin and crypto. One of these is admitting that it does serve the purpose of a currency - for criminals. The next one usually is understanding that bitcoin is superior to gold in any possible way, and ethereum has DeFi applications that can easily revolutionise the way finance works today. Getting there, MR Krugman, getting there.

If you were not there in early 2000s, this is your personal tour of the dotcom era crash. From the rubble, the few major projects will rise to become quasi-monopolies - despite the cherished, quasi-fanatical ideologies plaguing crypto-community - and become the established technologies of this and next decade. There's a concomitant confluence of hardware technology. 6G is going to be a boost for IoT, AR/VR/MR, and maybe DeFi in a more elaborate infrastructure. But before all those wonderful things, most of the scam is going to get exposed and take "investors" money with them.

Here is a fun one for you MR SEC: Claim a 51 stake of the ethereum network, and then we can talk okey? Oh wait it's too decentralised for you to be able to realise that. You'd bankrupt before you could buy all that supply of eth with you driving the demand like a madman. But unless you have thaty 51% stake in the network you better (to quote will smith) KEEP ETHEREUM OUT OF YOUR DAMM MOUTH.

Proof of Stake is not new or very interesting, and exists as a form with fiat currency already. Proof of stake has many more attack vectors(nothing at stake attacks, long range attacks, short range attacks , stake grinding attacks) than proof of work and ultimately is either less efficient or less secure. Further reading – https://medium.com/@tuurdemeester/critique-of-buterins-a-proof-of-stake-design-philosophy-49fc9ebb36c6 https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_Stake http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/ https://medium.com/@hugonguyen/work-is-timeless-stake-is-not-554c4450ce18 https://medium.com/@factchecker9000/nothing-is-worse-than-proof-of-stake-e70b12b988ca There doesn't seem to be any foreseeable solutions to making proof of stake secure either besides obscuring the flaws. Bitcoin is deliberately made inefficient with proof of work as using provable work that is external to the blockchain is the only means to create real costs where the game theory supports a model where it is both profitable to secure BTC and extremely costly to attack it. With PoW (proof of work) you would need to be a tremendous amount of effort in order to censor 1-2 blocks with building many asic mining farms, and than burning the electricity continuously in order to attack bitcoin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPyMUfNyVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUd8ZGgm6Qo With Proof of stake all I need to do is be an early adopter(s) , hack/kidnap an early adopter(s) , or convince many users to join a interest bearing bank account by staking their coins with my company(done many times before) to attack the network. Since Proof of work involves outside resources one can always objectively see and measure the hashrate and sources in realtime and one can cutoff such an attack because it involves outside resources. There are many different variations of proof of stake but the simplest way to understand this is by looking at those blockchain's as a democratic consensus mechanism where everyone's vote is weighted based upon how many coins or stake they control. Their staked coins than have an opportunity to create a block without proof of work and a dev controlling 51% of the coins gets to virtually mint ~51% on average of all the blocks . This presents another concern as the coins typically need to be in "hot wallets" to do so instead of cold storage leading to a more insecure environment. Since most PoS coins have massive premines where only a small number of devs control most of the coins this also presents another concern as those devs can be targeted by states , hackers, or attackers or as we often see with altcoin devs they pump and dump a project and than move onto a competing project to repeat this cycle over and over again thus have an incentive to attack their old project. With Proof of work , seizing the coins or stake of any individual or group of people doesn't effect the process of mining or securing the network directly at all . They can only try and spook the market by dumping coins at a discount while individuals like myself will happily buy up all the discounted coins. PoS is being sought because it is a clever marketing ploy to attract environmentalists who are concerned about the electricity used in PoW mining. They may have valid concerns that I also share but they fail to see all the external costs in PoS. http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pos-still-pointless/ There is a fallacy which rests on a false assumption that total amount electricity burnt must always correlate with the price of bitcoin. In reality the **cost** of electricity burnt will tend to correlate with the price of bitcoin. This means that as bitcoin continues to compete with all other forms of electrical demand worldwide the price per kW across the board will rise and thus decreasing the amount of electricity needed for bitcoin even if the price of bitcoin continues to rise and making bitcoin more and more efficient. This also has the side effect of encouraging more and more efficient and greener forms of cooling and electrical production.

There is an inescapable reality for any asset or currency that as it increases in value the production costs and costs to secure increase as well . This is demonstrated in the economic axiom: MC=MR “Rent” always forces production costs (MC) to always equal sale prices (MR) PoS currencies and fiat are simply more abstract and complex forms or Proof of Work that use more human involvement (which uses tremendous amounts of resources and has a tremendous environmental impact) as a PoW coin like Bitcoin. Humans instead of ASICs are shouldering more of the work to create, regulate , and secure each of those currencies; This is "work" whether it involves burning electricity directly or food and electricity that humans consume to perform their work. This is an inescapable economic reality. The more valuable something is the more it will cost to secure it because the more effort will be made to steal and or control it. This applies to any currency or asset. This is also better understood with the dollar auction dilemma. In a hypothetical auction where a bidding war is fighting over the right to mint a 1 dollar bill how much do you think people will be willing to spend for this power ? Proof of work is the most important innovation in Bitcoin and the real reason why blocks , in a blockchain, exist. The key aspects as to why Proof of work is so important and cannot be replaced by PoS are: 1) **Fair Coin Distribution** No scammy ICO , premine or instamine is created and miners are forced to sell most of their coins to cover the expense (mainly ASICs + electricity) which allows a fair distribution and competition in the minting process. 2) **long term incentives** With coins that have premines/instamines/ICOs the incentives are such that the creators benefit from pumping and dumping and creating more altcoins/ICOs to "fundraise" more rather than miners who have sunk infrastructure costs on mining a particular algo(The more we approach Moore's cliff the longer these time preferences become as we have been seeing) 3) **Decentralization of Minting** Since mining BTC is so competitive, profit margins are typically thin and thus new entrants that either use a better tool to mine (ASIC) or find cheaper sources of power(typically green due to the economics) can quickly gain market share making lasting monopolies difficult. Even if a main ASIC manufacturer appears to have a large market share we can see this quickly change due to a single malinvestment or a mistake when developing the newest ASIC. Power is a resource that comes from many sources and allows many locations around the world to remain competitive for unique reasons. 4) **Sybil resistant** Proof of work allows miners to order transactions where there are real tangible costs to transaction selection and fake nodes cannot simply flood the ecosystem in order to attack the network 5) **Game Theory** The game theory of Bitcoin is such that it is more profitable to mine bitcoin and secure the network than attack it because any attempt at a 51% attack or reorg the chain would quickly be caught once the attack was executed and the loss in resources would be profound. 6) **Objective Security** - Proof of work gives us an objective and measurable degree of security where risk assessments can be made with greater precision that isn't afforded with more subjective forms of security. 6) **Less Regulatory Scrutiny** - One critical aspect to how securities are defined and regulated by governments(for the USA research into "Howey Test" but other countries have similar regulations) deals with who controls the money/investment and a common enterprise profiting from it. Because Proof of work allows anyone to become a bank that mints and secures the network that no-one can control courts have already determined that Bitcoin cannot be considered a "security" and thus would not fall under those regulations like other coins/ICOs that lack Proof of Work. PoW alone is not the only determining factor on defining what is and isn't a security but an important one. 7) **Incentives to resist centralization** The game theory and incentives of Proof of stake all lead to centralization because there is no external need to compete for energy and efficiencies. The creators or large whales who buy into the coin will all form a controlling oligopoly who can simply collect taxes (fees) for no effort and censor with no effort unlike with proof of work

Lol this quote has been taken way out of context.

[https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-wef-idUSL1N2MR1UU](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-wef-idUSL1N2MR1UU) ​ In other words, it was meant as a though experiment

>USDT has proven itself well China assets go boom boom.. crypto assets go boom boom. Tether burning a billion tethers to maintain peg last at 69 billion and dropping. What happens when you put CDO A into CDO B that holds asset of Both A AND b You get CDO c squared [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cdo2.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cdo2.asp) MARK: CDO A has parts of CDO B and CDO B has parts CDO A, but then both get put inside CDO C? MR. CHAU: That one's called a CDO Squared. And then there are CDOs made up of the opposite side of the bet you made with your swaps. We call them synthetic CDOs. So, we have a CDO Manager whose job it is to manage nearly the GDP of a small country, but who has zero interest in assessing the real risk of what he's buying (e.g. the risk that the mortgages might go into default). We learn that CDO managers around the country are betting many multiples the value of the blocks of mortgages on their continued survival and we learn that the CDOs (many of which contain garbage mortgages on the verge of default) are overlapping with each other. The ultimate upshot of this conversation is that if one CDO fails (if even a few hundred mortgage holders default on their mortgages), it will take down the entire swap. Not only that, but the CDOs are worth billions, riding on the actions of homeowners who've been missold dodgy mortgages. Now replace it with Crypto (btc/ether/tether/bitfinix as CDO A and CDO B is Evergrande. CDO C is both. Boom boom

Cocaine u can use being illegal! Btc you only use P2P if regulations close doors to BTC! 2 different things! Don’t be blind! BTC is easy to kill if institutions decide to do that! What we are seeing is the opposite! From what is happening and the predictions for the future guys like MR Saylor are saying that 20k is a good entry point! 😂😂😂😂 now do the maths and think why you don’t see FUD on BTC like other coins! Are companies that bought BTC on 40/50/60K and now they are losing the floor! Hoping that small investors continue to buy so the price do not go down like it is!

Proof of stake as a whole is pointless, insecure, and will always trend to centralization Proof of stake game theory insures that those with the most coins will continue to collect the most fees , thus creating a vicious cycle of centralization where they continue to accrue more coins with 0 effort unlike with Proof of work where a meritocracy exists of those trying to be more efficient and miners are forced to sell most of their coins Fiat currency and PoS coins cost at least the same amount of resources to create , regulate and secure as Bitcoin.
