I have officially passed 5 years in the crypto space - what I have learned and did right and wrong- I kinda got a foolproof 10 to 20% return on trading

So you think fiat is bad? You're right, non-gold money is bad.

I did a stint for 3 years up state when I was younger and let me tell you if he goes to any max security lock up he's done!!! Hell be a bitch the rest of his life with his parents sending protection money to either the brothers or Aryan n... In the end his ass will be gaped too a new level!!! Exactly what he deserves pretty much caused terras implosion through back channel deals w/ Jane st and jump, DO KWON,SBF,And good ol ALEX M can go f themselves in major way!!!! BEST THING THAT CAME OUTTA THIS BEAR MARKET!!! FN TRASH!!!!! And yes these n gets did cost me about 8 grand combined...Can't wait to read an article that somebody folded this punk up under the bunk!!!
it's not. **But not scam also. Because of only 1 THING. and that is limited supply.** ***That's the only thing that makes crypto 'legit'***.. like gold and diamonds. But nothing like i said is not really legit except the land/property. Sometimes not even that, as there is some funny laws in USA.. but anyway. What do you think crypto is? I mean sure there is some coins that has some use, but if u want to invest to such projects it would be called investment to projects or gofundme program, not coin that someone make that can go to 0 tomorrow despite the project success.
You could argue that's what they blamed him for, realistically speaking any fed could of set up a shop for black tar heroin and said OHH LOOK HE ALSO SOLD THE WORST THING POSSIBLE LOCK HIM UP.
IT’S THE SAME FUCKING THING! You can’t be ok with one and not the other.
Which is highly elevated with the language and narrative surrounding bitcoin…I mean there’s FOMO and then there is ALL OTHER CURRENCY AND ASSETS ARE GOING TO ZERO AND BITCOIN WILL BE THE ONLY THING LEFT STANDING. IT IS THE APEX PREDATOR OF ALL ASSETS. I mean talk about anxiety inducing
And what happens when BTC tanks 60% like normal? Yes sure it'll go up but I don't know many people that would be cool with me taking 60% of their life savings for a month or so on the idea that they may get it back and may get more back. All while their rent or mortgage is due, water is due, electricity is due, they need to go grocery shopping, and their kid needs new shoes. DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO! GOING 100% IN ON ONE THING IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!
Coinbase is fucked up now. They started only taking bitcoin payments through their own system (other user must have a coinbase account?) And the **WORST THING** they've done is asking new users to either input their seed words for an existing wallet, or write down seed words coinbase gives you for a new wallet. *What the FUCK?* I had to check and make sure I was on the correct coinbase website. I used coinbase for years, but now... I've moved somewhere else. I don't trust the evolution of their business much further.
Point is we shouldn’t have to invest… tell that to poor parts of the world with little access to productive investments. I’m afraid u have little understanding of the scale of this theft. “The natural state of a Free Market Is Deflation”-Jeff Booth, technology is deflationary. Apparently we need INFLATION to stimulate the economy/encourage ppl to spend. on the other hand DEFLATION will do the exact same thing by lowering prices. Look at the cost of living charts for the 1900s and just wonder why shit needs to be so expensive, and why we let this go on for so long(me personally I don’t understand).Bring ai into this… how will the world work if it’s taking jobs but everything is getting more expensive? It won’t! unless we want some dystopian nightmare. I see it as we can build a utopia on a btc standard, where deflation is allowed to happen and poor people are no longer poor and ai taking jobs would actually be a GOOD THING. Or said dystopian nightmare(CBDC,Evil ai, everyone is poor,fill in the blank)
I don't think you understand how scarcity works. The US dollar is the WORLDS RESERVE CURRENCY, it's the MOST VALUED THING EVER... Yet they print trillions of it at the drop of a hat. So clearly being scarce is actually nothing to do with value.
WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO CRYPTO he says. Well its all uphill from here, then.
Nobody is silencing anyone, they're just laughing at y'all for your baseless claims and, literally, zero proof or evidence in the slightest. Nobody is denying lockdowns happened, I think even the sheep know that, but the fact y'all think y'all know why and all this secret agenda shit. Great. PROVE IT. it's been years of this shit now, why have none of y'all proven any of your claims? Because y'all can't. Because they're fake. They're baseless. And they line the pockets of your masters and y'all drink the kool aid of every single word they say. And you don't question a THING they say.
This is classic. Being educated in crypto is number one importance, yet people seem to gloss over it because they watched a YouTube video and decided they knew crypto without investing in proper knowledge first. This is what gives crypto a bad name. EDUCATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN CRYPTO!!!!
I'm sorry Machiavelli, but the ends don't justify the means if bringing in new people means shoving the old ones out when you devalue their savings, and how many people do you know stick to investments when they get manipulated out of them by a billionaire with more money than they'll ever see? It doesn't bode well for drawing in adoption and new investors. It might sucker in a few fanboys from twitter, and gam gam with some extra cash she might not care about, especially when her grandkid is spurring her on to do it... but the rest? Fuck. no. People manipulating the price of an asset because they have the money to is not normal, it shouldn't be normalized, and honestly man it shouldn't take this level of explanation for you to understand why having people with billions of dollars who are MORE than willing to manipulate the asset for their own personal gain IS A BAD THING.
I've also struggled with this in the past. There is no single answer but I'm not sure the other replies understand the question (at least in the way I think you mean it). So, a few thoughts (not financial advice): * You need to factor in fees when deciding what and how much to buy. There are plenty of coins/tokens that can give you 5% or 10% but does that cover the cost of the trade (in both directions). * Personally I find Kraken to be much better than Coinbase. * In general, smaller CEXs or the DEXs, especially ones focused on a particular ecosystem (eg Jupiter for Solana coins/tokens). * You'll generally get a much smaller fee if you already own the coin/token on the other end of a pair. Eg if there's a pair of $THING for $ARB, you'll be better off if you already own ARB (or at least ETH, ARB being a Layer 2 on ETH). * Anything you can do on a Layer 2 is likely to be significantly cheaper than Layer 1. * Apps like BananaGun can give you a chance to super target small profits by setting up automated transactions in a optimised way. * A common technique (though it doesn't help with fees) can be to invest DCA: essentially you buy a fixed $ amount of a coin every X period; the theory is that you'll accumulate more coins of $THING at a lower price and less at a higher price meaning you have a better chance of averaging up. * The big CEXs (like Coinbase) don't list most of the newest coins that may have big returns.
>Is this some kind of Lyn Alden marketing campaign? IT MAY WELL BE!!! That woman seems to be really good at marketing, if NOTHING ELSE. I have literally NEVER heard her say anything of any insight or profoundness, yet I hear like 1,000 people parrot her book up and down! It's on Twitter as well. Just, feels like she's good at marketing her book....but terrible at actually writing a good book. Just good at getting people to buy it. I ask people for ONE SINGLE THING from "Broken Money" which was profound or insightful, they can't give it to me. Ever.
Omg guy, is ONE THING too much to ask? Jesus.
>all the work All the work? ALL the work???? Dude, I am asking for ONE EFFING THING from the book. ONE. I just want to hear ONE SINGLE THING that Lyn mentions in the book, as an example. Just to see how good it is. Give me ONE.
No, I haven't read it, that's my point. So, I keep hearing about it, and just wanted ONE SINGLE THING from the book, which is good/profound/interesting/insightful. ONE SINGLE SOLITARY THING. Can you give me ONE thing? Doesn't even have to be profound. Just ONE thing. That's all I ask for. Give it to me or get lost.
Why would you not just buy the REAL THING Bitcoin not paper etf
1. Bitcoin = store of value - just like gold - Its a win win EVERY SINGLE TIME. 2. Ethereum and L2s (OP, DYDX, ARB, LRC etc.,) (not sure if these are THE NEXT THING but are out there as next best now for everything decentralised) - just like google/apple in the initial days 3. Doge = currency - just like dollar (but with around just $5Billion added to market cap every year unlike traditional dollar with unlimited minting by printing). This sub doesn’t like doge but theres no other crypto in the entire crypto space that could potentially one day become THE CURRENCY OF THE WORLD. So, yes Buy some Doge, Some L2s and Bitcoin of course. But if you don’t want to diversify and end up like bill gates owing a few billions instead of Trillions due to diversification then put your money in Doge and forget about it for a while. Peace.
Anyone that starts a statement with "oh yeah! Well <supposed pedigree here>".. connections to one of the biggest institutional purchasers blah blah. Okay Mr. Internet rando 🤣. Maybe, maybe not. In an appeal to authority argument IMMEDIATELY makes me roll my eyes and become less enthusiastic to engage. I too have an advanced degree (PhD in Engineering), multiple publications, etc. BUT, all of that doesn't mean anything if what comes out of your mouth doesn't make any real world sense. The store of value without wealth debasement is only ONE of the many problems that Bitcoin was meant to address. It was first, and foremost, an uncensorable method of digital transaction that solved the double spend problem. It's meant to do BOTH... Deflationary asset that is able to be used with low fees and can be sent directly to anyone else in the world without an intermediary. One of the benefits of accepting crypto is that the retailer doesn't have to pay 3% credit transaction fees. Now, instead of the retailer paying tx fees, with BTC, the purchaser is paying 20 bucks if they want to buy a cup of coffee on layer one. So what are they doing? Looking at other options and saying "HEY, THIS LITECOIN THING COSTS LESS TO TX, LET'S USE IT INSTEAD". And.. think about it. Litecoin is ALSO limited in terms of its rate of production... And now, it's being used more than BTC.
Love this project and love this team! If you haven’t checked out the website yet and have seen the roadmap these guys have put together you need to now. Stop wasting your money on the “next big thing” and wait for this launch because this is “THE NEXT BIG THING”
If people could mint physical gold as BTC. THING! The same weight in gold will be worth less. If left strictly to the item. Cool post. Saw something new today.
ONE THING'S WRONG WITH ME.... TWO NOTHING'S WRONG WITH ME... It was good while it lasted haha
gimme an honest estimate, 30 years? you think btc will be THE THING in 2040?
>\-BEST THING ABOUT IT. You can hold it securely in a wallet and vote for a delegate and currently recieve 19% APR in the form of gas. No sending your coins to a scam site, you can rest assured that they are safe while generating 19% APR!!!!! > > Also NEO was $200 in 2018, and over $100 in 2021. It’s undervalued right now at $14. Anybody else feel the same about this Cinderella? This totally doesn't sound like marketing or a shill post lol /s The fact that it keeps hitting lower ATH should get you thinking a little. And there's a reason for this. It's a project that never delivered, and has been slowly dying out and dropping from the crypto conversation. It started having too much interference from the Chinese government, but unfortunately any real backing quickly faded. But really, it doesn't do anything that other projects are already doing better. If you want smart contract and good APR, this is not the coin to go to.
Fun fact, the African Matabele species have a class of ant that creates and applies medicine to the warrior class ants after they come back from battling enemy colonies. The success rate of the treatment is 90%. This is the only known living THING, aside from humans, that actually creates and applies medicine to wounds. So yeah, I agree with the guys saying ants are successful.
"Almost 1 in 5 (18%) Brits have invested in the stock market as of 2023, making it the most popular investment type. In 2023, around 2 in 5 Brits (42%) invest, equalling around 22 million, up from 36% in 2021." GUYS - THE UK IS IN ON THIS HOT NEW INVESTOR THING CALLED "STOCK MARKET" -- GET IN NOW WHILE WE'RE STILL EARLY!!! /s 50% of the population does not need to buy bitcoin. because 60% NEVER will buy bitcoin. if we're at 45% saturation, we're in the final stages.
STOP WITH THAT WHOLECOIN THING GUYS ! It's like pretending a million dollars is a coin. Wouldn't you be happy with 600k ?
I don’t give a crap about payment when any fool can use worthless fiat currency/debt tokens to pay for stuff like that… saving up long term for a house etc IS A DIFFERENT MATTER THOUGH. If you were saving up for a house, and you had 5 years… would you save fiat currency or bitcoin? You telling me that a guy accepting bitcoin for a HOUSE can’t wait 10 minutes? The fiat monetary system TAKES DAYS FOR FINAL SETTLEMENT… DAYS! But the hardest digital money in the world, you can’t wait 10min for a BIG TICKET THING?! All those garbage shitcoin projects, they claim to be transacted in seconds but the #confirmation considered acceptable for payment IS MASSIVE… in reality, their final settlement is technically speaking LONGER THAN BITCOIN. I personally use my debit card for payments and get payed 100% IN BITCOIN… At the end of the month I will sell some bitcoin to pay off the credit card at the end of the month. I used to hold enough fiat just for bills but I no longer do even that because it didn’t seem right to hold ANY OF IT. No longer holding any fiat is my personal choice and most people, even here would disagree with me… they are fine holding fiat currency and see bitcoin more of an “investment” or a “trade.” I once only saw bitcoin as a “trade” too and did the whole “crypto bro” crap from 2017-2021… Now I see bitcoin as ETHICAL SOUND DIGITAL MONEY. Gold is ETHICAL SOUND PHYSICAL MONEY and bitcoin the same EXEPT it’s far less common and digital so I can send it to my relatives living 1000 miles away in 10min conformation time while some gold coin would take 1 entire day in overnight shipping and some grifter “altcoin project” can Solana could get shutdown and “restarted” and the number of conformations required for full settlement taking MANY HOURS. Holding bitcoin doesn’t mean you understand bitcoin… like holding fiat currency means you even understand how fractional reserve banking works or fiat currency debasement etc. Even after seeing their cost of living moving past their ability to keep up, most Americans will continue to hold fiat currency… they don’t know any better. Most here even will continue to “trade” and play with the crypto casinos, they don’t know any better.
Coinbase is trash and hugely overrated. Compare the fees yourself, everyone will BS you on here. The UI I’m convinced is purposely confusing and sometimes they won’t even let you transfer small amounts of BTC because the fee will literally be more than the amount transferred. WTF? Robinhood has cheaper fees (and the best UI by far) but the cheapest fees is Kraken Pro. Everyone on Reddit has a massive hate boner for RH because of the whole Game Store fiasco (even though multiple other brokerages did the SAME EXACT THING…).
*Sigh* this same post is all over Reddit. "HEY GUYS THIS GUY DOESNT LIKE OUR THING! ISNT HE DUMB!?" And the replies are "YEAH THIS GUYS A DUMB IDIOT! HES GOING TO REGRET NOT LIKING OUR THING" People in this comment section are actually reasonable though, so props to you guys.
I can pretty much assure you what happened (because it happened to me, but I had no bad outcome). Keepass (what is being called a 'password manager') is 100% secure. However the password to KeePass was something like "Bitcoin" - which yes, can easily be brute forced and KeePass doesn't stop brute force. The hacker got his keepass file from his harddrive... this is extremely hard to do (in normal circumstances) - EXTREMELY hard... except Microsoft now 'auto syncs' your entire hard drive using One Drive - unless you aggressively deny it (I do). Google Drive *can* do similar. So basically I can almost assure you the 'dad' clicked the default options on windows install - which steals all your Bitcoin keys / self hosted password managers. Now Microsoft is setup (again by default) to let you get all that easily from anywhere in the world.. F'ING GREAT! All you have to do is reset your password - which can be done by text or email. He would have known if his phone was stolen, so they must have cracked his email. Again, emails are similarly setup to open anywhere in the world via text or email to some other old email. Another possibility is reused passwords - like your home depot password is your email password as well.. ALL BITCOINERS MUST SET UP --- EMAIL --- TO 2 FACTOR AUTHENTIFICATION. This will stall a hacker a least a day. In my case, they had been targeting me for months / years, with advanced 'phishing' emails (use of real name, business intent, possibly legit files to 'download' etc). I fell for none of this. Eventually they stole my phone (using a T mobile Israeli office - they steal your phone number, not the device, also called 'sim swapping' - but it's fully remote and you can't *really* stop it - any $10 hr worker anywhere in the world can defeat you). After stealing my phone - they reset all email passwords and financial accounts - using 'text to phone' to override - and then 'text to email' once email was secured - this basically breaks into everything in the world. And while doing all that - they also IMMEDIATELY - hacked my G Drive, One Drive, Drop Box, etc. and grabbed everything there (this would be where people keep their KeePass or BTC seeds). > I'm personally not huge on 'self storing' - as a similar incident where my dad was the backup - he threw the USB drive 'into the junk drawer' - and then the paper with all the info in a book.. that he gave to the library.. - IF you give parents / relatives a hard copy of BTC info - PUT IT IN A SAFE - not because it's relevant, but this prevents them from easily losing it. Also my dad had movers grab all his stuff one day, and if they grabbed USB drives he would have never noticed for months... a Safe is the only real way (don't even give them the combo if it's a 'only if you die' tool - this is particularly good for spouses / friends). Anyways - from the time they Sim Swapped me in Israel (9:30pm on Friday) - to the time they had downloaded all cloud files and cracked all related websites - was 5 MINUTES. Five minutes.. In my case, I don't use any cloud storage, immediately delete / uninstall OneDrive (as I understood the risk years ago), and my G Drives... well I got 6 of them. My main one is not with my main email, etc. The only financial account they got was Coinbase - and even though I notified coinbase as fast as humanly possible - coinbase DID allow them to sell my BTC for 'penny stocks' - as whitelisting doesn't stop that... in this case, the penny stocks did better than Bitcoin over the 3 months it took for CB to give my access back.. all the while deny I have any money at all.. the hackers submitted 'verified ID' (fake licenses / passports) at roughly a rate of every 30 minutes, over a 7 day period. > They only way to notify CB is to buy a burner phone, setup a new account, and then call CB from your burner and wait 3 hours explaining it to some fuck stick moron who can't speak english. I carry burners on me, and was at an airbnb with no wifi - so not only did I lose signal (which you really wouldn't pay attention to generally, could be storm / tower, could be anything, and your phone doesn't notify you) - but I also lost internet because no wifi - that's why I responded so fast - I notified Coinbase within 30 minutes. Coinbase refused to take any action for 3 hours. !!! - and then only agreed to halt trading after 1 week of me calling them constantly - EVEN AFTER they noticed the identity theft.. But the basic steps to stop this: 1) Don't do any 'auto sync' cloud storage stuff, delete One Drive like it's cancer. 2) Setup email on 2FA - Google Authenticator to crack (TONS less secure now that it is auto cloud'd). 3) Develop a 'unique' password system. This is easy. Think of a word - let's say Bitcoin. Then think of numbers - let's say Bday 4 social - then the website you are on - then special letter. Then shorten the word from Bitcoin to B. So it'd be like: B0115794321Reddit* Nobody is ever cracking that... 'long and crazy' is a small part - the MAIN THING (I use to run with hackers) is the UNIQUENESS "Reddit" - you can't use a bot to auto crack passwords if they all unique. And if you don't know, for $5 I can bet like the top 5 commonly used passwords for every reddit users / and their linked accounts. It's just like a $5 / month fee to get access to all passwords ever leaked - with very good 'networking' (list of websites used) information - only unique passwords stop this. > Another possibility is they hacked the Microsoft account - and his windows profile was set to 'roaming' (again, another bat shit stupid default you must deny) - when set this way, I can duplicate everything on your desktop anywhere in the world in seconds. This is probably more likely than the OneDrive crack, as hopefully the dad would have stopped OneDrive but wouldn't have even known his profile was set to 'roaming' as it's completely pitched as a 'security' feature, when it's the opposite. The hackers have 'hacked' my Microsoft account like 30+ times. This is the only account they hack repeatedly, that and Instagram for some reason lol - ahhh... probably looking for blackmail. 4) Any true self storage needs to be on USB / not your hard drive - keep it disconnected by default, and in a safe so you can't misplace it with ease / 'internet repair guy' steals it and you don't even notice, etc. 5) Keep a VOIP, burner phone handy - know how to use it. I was traveling, and all T mobiles were closed next 2 days (weekend). Without burner I couldn't uber, or do a million other things... 6) You can't really trust anyone else to understand the importance of not being careless. Either buy them a safe... or don't trust them. Dude is blaming his dad (get it) but other than the super easy KeePass password, the rest 'could happen to anybody' and 'f you' for trusting someone else with your life.. even if pops. But ya, my pops made it easy and obvious to me not to trust him haha. Girl Partner did the same, she can barely install windows - I'm positive all her files are OneDrive / remote user profile'd. 7) Your biggest enemy is the internet. You could have a poster board with your seed phrases on it, and go 20+ years without a theft. Anything connected to the internet, getting hacked by anyone world wide... give it like 3 weeks. Paper - physical safes - are your friend - computers are NOT your friend. That's about all I can think of. And (obv) set everything to 2FA rando number code, if it's email or financial. And be aware that these fuckers who shove shit coins with no true market down your throat - basically make whitelisting pointless. You should be allowed to DENY trading into this 'hacker scam' coins - but you can't - so be aware of it (if I have BTC and can not withdraw... I can buy 'SHIBE' or similar penny stock 'at market' - while selling my SHIBE on another website... and effectively I've withdrawn all the funds, and bypassed whitelisting... with some 20% loss or so). White listing should also apply to all coins / markets you don't actively engage in, IMO. But ya, KeePass is safe - this issues is *most likely* a Microsoft 'auto update to cloud' system - and then 5 mins later cracked open - and the user / dad never notified at all.
Yeah I’m not happy moons were rugged, sure we had a lot of bots but we had more camaraderie people interacting creating dialogue and interest in crypto. That is a GOOD THING!
So u knew ur example meant the “old” btc would become worthless, and u still argued for it? U even gave the bch example which is THE SAME EXACT THING, and still acted like u didn’t kno what he meant lol he obv didn’t mean the non-conforming minority chain’s coins would disappear, he meant they’d become worthless. That’s why he said “bch who?”.. u just did all that just to argue lol
That may be true, but to refresh your memory, I stated that: *"There is NO SUCH THING as AML or KYC on Bitcoin transactions , from El Salvador or from anywhere else."* It physically cannot be done. Bitcoin poops on your " paperless invoices (digital)".
There is NO SUCH THING as a Facial ID photo requirement on Bitcoin. Must be some other currency system you're thinking of.
There is NO SUCH THING as AML or KYC on Bitcoin transactions , from El Salvador or from anywhere else. Hope that ends that!
I really hate these types of titles on the articles. Most of the time I don't even click on then. Classic clickbait. *"HERE IS ONE THING"..."CLICK IT AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS THAT ONE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT"*
There is NO SUCH THING as a KYC Bitcoin wallet. You might try getting your information from somewhere more reliable, like the Resources section. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Storing_bitcoins
The point is USD is no longer tethered to reality yet all other currencies rely on it -- what does it actually mean that the dollar index is strong (note -- DXY IS NOT THE SAME THING AS USD, STRONG DXY CAN INDICATE DILUTED DOLLARS). The idea is that this debt spiral is not 'priced in' , the same way risk of collapse of a ponzi is not priced in until it does
When people are fed up with inflation. And corruption bitcoin with its limited supply will be the ONLY STABLE THING.
El Salvador has a lunatic president who is personally obsessed with Bitcoin. Still, no one in El Salvador uses BTC or gives 2 shits about it. Hop on a plane, fly there and see how everyone over there just wants to see USD. If you have a hard time understanding the facts about using Bitcoin, try it. Make a TX for a coffee and let us know how well that went. How much easier and safer cheaper and, most of all, faster it was then swiping your visa. Using Crypto for anything else then gambling is laughable. Hence, that is aside of being scammed THE ONLY THING you can do with it.
well thought out response, but didnt quite understand what I am saying: value is subjective, but only to an extent. every human understands scarcity, and thus scarce things are (potentially) valuable. **scarcity is the number one factor, if we had to pick one alone, that determines objective value**. though, for example, there are few of my boogers, but do they really have value? hence **not even scarcity alone can determine objective value: context becomes key to whether scarcity does give value to the thing in question** Let's apply this to bitcoin. If you understand that Bitcoin ensures monetary scarcity, and that the world needs sound money, the objective value Bitcoin has to you goes through the roof (as objective as we special snowflake unique humans can view) Price is a simple way of expressing this objective value, because everybody else around you is also using it as a measure. But, it is PRICETHE VALUE OF THE THING ITSELF the problem with all current economic ways of thinking, is that they do not truly try grasp the concept of value, thus they mistake things that are worthless, such as currency, as the whole point of their economic existence. "investing in bitcoin \[to make fiat\] I am not investing in fiat, you chodes, I am opting out. back to the point you made, value does not come from productivity, you are actually making the argument for communism ironically, because they believe labor (which is another way of saying productivity) is the way value is determined the problem is labor/productivity is actually subjective: I may have no need for your labor at all in one context, and it be essential in another. an objective measure of value cannot be The benefit for society is bitcoin itself: a stable way of storing value: our current unstable way of storing value is a huge problem that drives environmental damage, all the way to trap music and consumer culture Fix the money, fix the world.
Lol can you believe some regards bought jpegs for 250,000$? And those jpegs can be seen by ANYONE, and CLAIMED BY ANYONE because you can just make your own NFT and point it at that jpeg and claim you own it. Sure it won't be the original.. but imagine if you could put the actual mona lisa in your living room. The fact that someone else technically owns it but you get the REAL THING for FREE.. I think I prefer the free one
Ok, now I'm getting scam emails to back up my Ledger. THIS IS NOT A THING!
same thing that happened in 2020. the price Started to climb, ready for the boom, and crashed along with everything else. if people have no money to buy bitcoin THEY WILL NOT BUY BITCOIN -- we will literally prioritize EVERY FUCKING OTHER THING.
My problem with Cardano is they will make an announcement about a BIG THING coming up, will delay and delay... will finally announce what the upgrade or big news is and it's something average that other crypto already does or will do too soon. Cardano itself has nothing fundamentally wrong, but the way the team hypes everything and doesn't deliver actions proportional to the hype makes me doubt the project.
The spot ETF is undoubtedly a GOOD THING FOR BTC. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a absolute fool! The ETF will bring billions more to the market cap. Especially with safety being a big concern for many people with BTC. The ETF will open the floodgates for cooperations to get exposure
They don't mind at all. It's expected. However, if they want to cheat their way through the bear market, THE ONLY THING TO DO IS LIST MOONS.
(I assume by "interest" you mean the staking rewards.) ​ No, no it is not a night and day difference. You are paid something of value. Does not matter the denomination. Otherwise, dividends could be paid in another country's currency, or gold, or whatever. You think rich people and companies (both the most notorious parties for exploiting loop holes) wouldn't be all over that if it was actually a difference? ​ Oh, but wait: it's even more exactly the same thing: ​ Pay USD for stock, get USD dividends. Pay native token into the staking pool, receive native token back. One thing of value in, exact same thing of value back. SAME THING. It doesn't matter if the piece of paper saying you did this to keep track of who owes who is called "stock" or "certificate of deposit" or a digital record of some kind. ​ And even more how it's THE SAME THING: IRS: "Certain distributions commonly referred to as dividends actually should be reported as interest" Or, in simpler terms, "Just call the dividends 'interest' since they're the same thing and report it all as that."
Blue Chip coins? There's NO SUCH THING as stable crypto lol
god I wish we could just autodelete comments that talk about "gas fee" in this sub. THAT IS NOT A THING
DONT DO IT ! I just did … but the link to the scam was on a legit CBC story about crypto Twitter … the journalist credentials were listed below as per usual nothing to flag … but the link is bullshit .. it looks like amateur hour and it is … the WHOLE THING IS A SCAM … but now these bastards have my name my email and phone number which is WAAAY TOO MUCH INFO … I’m trying to shut shit down and get a good firewall … but yeah don’t
>None of those things have to do with (de)-centralization. They are PRIME and I do mean PRIME examples of a Central authority having Control over the ledger/blockchain, YOu know the whole DECENTRALIZED THING. > You can't doublespend from your bank account either. bank accounts arent blockchains now are they? >However, Ripple Labs does have the ability to freeze funds LOL no, no they cant. holy fuck this 2016 Fud still exsists man people are stupid. https://xrpl.org/freezes.html https://xrpl.org/common-misconceptions-about-freezes.html Anyone who issues an IOU think ERC-20 token can freeze the Token they themselves issue on chain if they enable the feature. XRP is the native asset and Cannot/has never been frozen. There is no feature which freezes XRP on the XRPL. >and used it to freeze the funds of co-founder Jed McCaleb Jed used the XRPL Dex to illegally Sell his XRP on gatehub through their payment gateway and the exchange Froze the USD in his account he was selling. Again, Not XRP. It would be like if Binance froze your funds after they found out you were a scammer and the source of your funds were illegal. >Transferring value on a ledger from person A to person B is incredibly easy. I didnt say from Person A to Person B. I said FROM A to B. being You can start with XRP and send it, and mid payment stream the DEX and ILP will exchange it into whatever the receiver wants to get. Think of it like this. You love BTC and I love XRP. You can setup your XRP address to Convert ANY payment coming into it, to convert it Live into BTC for you. >The downside is you have to trust venmo...which, oh yea, you have to trust Ripple to transfer on Ripple. No you dont, you dont have to trust ANYONE that is the whole point of having a trustless system? >At this point it just seems like you are either a chatbot trying to hype ripple or stupid, so I'm going to stop wasting my time. ok so just to finish/confirm here, You Dont know what you're talking about. You're openly lying and dont know what basic words mean. do I have that correct?
Bingo bango ETF operational shortselling IS A THING
"It was amazing - we were at a blockchain conference event / party, and I remember the conversation so well. Dan: RIC! PLEASE CAN YOU ASK HER SECURITY IF I CAN MEET HER AND SAY HI Me: SURE THING DAN ***speaks to security*** Dan: HI I'M DAN Paris: HI I'M PARIS Dan: SO NICE TO MEET YOU Paris: YOU TOO Me: CAN I GET ANYONE A DRINK? Paris: NO THANKS Dan: I'LL HAVE A VODKA SODA ***orders from waiter*** Dan: MAY I PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU Paris: SURE THING And then the music got too loud to hear anything more. - What will help xmr scale for Mass adoption? A scalable L2 - Do can we get xmr cross chain? We already have atomic swaps and wrapped XMR - Do you think IBC/ cosmos tech could help with taking xmr cross chain? It already exists - What does zk tech look like on xmr? It looks like [full chain membership proofs](https://twitter.com/kayabaNerve/status/1672616243302465536) - As far as functionality goes? I doubt anything changes wrt functionality, it'll still feel like XMR"
I'll be a bit more explicit to dissuade shill accusations. DON'T BUY THE TOKEN. YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY LOSE MONEY. BUT THE PROJECT IS DOING A COOL THING, NOT A PROFITABLE THING. PLEASE READ ABOUT IT, BUT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THE TOKEN.
"I may be early but I'm not wrong." "IT'S THE SAME THING, IT'S THE SAME THING MIKE!"
Today's BIG THING. Everybody's doing it!
Right so why couldn't they do their multiple things pre IPO and disallow what they deem an illegal business? Again, I ask why is the blame put everywhere BUT the regulations body that was created FOR THIS EXACT THING.
I swear on my life I was thinking ironically "*WHAT WE NEED TODAY IS JUST SOME DORMANT WHALE TO WAKE UP AND SPICE THE NEWS A BIT, MAYBE THATS THE ONLY THING WE LACK IN THIS BULLSHIT"* And then I read this. Lmao.
It’s the uh, YOU KNOW THE THING, come on man….
It really highlights the weakness of blockchain, unfortunately. Unless the company has some sort of ‘blockchain FDIC’, it’s tough to say to people, ‘yeah if it’s gone it’s gone’ and there are countless ways for it to get gone. This bear has been fine, but these freaking holes that keep rekking people (now atomic?) really make we concerned. It’s one thing if it’s Luna/tether, etc, which LOOKED risky, but Ledger was THE THING. now…? Hopefully people see this and find the path to more safely bridge adoption… Still very early
Exactly this OP, you are without a shadow of a doubt 10000000000… % being scammed, there’s no such thing, and I repeat, NO SUCH THING, of KYC verification requiring any amount of MONEY!!! What are you not understanding? Sorry if I may sound rude or something, but for God’s sake my dude! I’ll give you the best two options for you to act on ASAP! 1- Read this post and contact them! It’s the U.S. San Francisco crypto task force for these kinds of things! https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13h2mar/ama_on_rcryptocurrency_with_the_us_secret_service/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 2- Check this crypto bounty hunter/blockchain investigator (u/Queasy_Length_1016), and contact him! Read his story: https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/yezl4u/my_adventure_as_a_crypto_bounty_hunter_and_some/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 There’s a chance he finds out their wallet and trace it back to a KYCed acc on some CEX (centralized exchange). You should have asked us for advice since the start!… Best of luck to you!
Of course the CRT hoarders on here will tell you "YES!!!! OMG GET IT!!! ADOPT THE POOR THING!!" - The question is, do you have a use and the space for it? Do you have a use for it? Do you want to hang onto it and sell it in the future?
How many reports did Reuters publish on the banks that did the EXACT SAME THING?
You clearly don’t understand the bitcoin ethos… if trust is involved, then the ENTIRE THING IS WORTHLESS and no different than the current fiat system.
Better ANY-THING-ELSE-THAN-LEDGER at this point
