I have a feeling we are about to 80UNC3EBACK
> decentralized network of validators Ripple/XRP is NOT decentralized. It's a **TRUST based model of PERMISSIONED validators that are PAID by Ripple.** In Proof of Work and Proof of Stake systems, trustlessness is achieved because of economic incentives for honest behavior. Since there is no incentive based model in the Ripple/XRP network, the system is permissioned where Ripple has selected hand picked Trusted Validators for the network. > Trust-Based Validation...The core principle behind the XRP Ledger's consensus mechanism is that a little trust goes a long way. Each participant in the network chooses a set of validators...the set of chosen validators should not be likely to collude with one another to break the rules...This list is called a Unique Node List, or UNL...each server listens to its trusted validator https://xrpl.org/intro-to-consensus.html It's a closed system. Everyone can become a validator but ONLY Trusted Validators in the UNL of Trusted Validators are a part of the consensus process -- you can run a validator but your nodes' validation messages are IGNORED > Issuing validation messages does not automatically give your validator a say in the consensus process, so the system is not vulnerable to a Sybil attack . Other servers ignore your validation messages unless they add your validator to their Unique Node List (UNL). If your validator is included in a UNL, it is a trusted validator and its proposals are considered in the consensus process by the servers that trust it. https://xrpl.org/run-rippled-as-a-validator.html Ripple's network is a closed network or what the whitepaper refers to as a clique where the validator nodes generally have the same list of trusted UNLs > By cliques, we mean a set of nodes where each node’s UNL is the selfsame set of nodes - The Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm - David Schwartz, Noah Youngs, Arthur Britto And Ripple's trusted validators are the same for the UNL lists by the 3 publisherss, Ripple, XRPL Foundation and Coil. Ripple always brags about decentralization and lots of entities and Universities running validators. But if you look at the list of universities on the UNL who run these trusted validators, it's always Universities who have gotten $Millions in grants from Ripple to "support academic research." And the other entities are either exchanges that have some partnership to list a ton of XRP pairs or are some ghost companies with 4 or 5 employees propped up by Ripple. Again, just like the partnership facade with Ripple is a paid sponsorship, the decentralization facade with Ripple is also paid sponsorship. The universities you find running Ripple's Trusted Validators are the same universities Ripple pays millions of dollars to. https://xrpscan.com/validators > The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School is part of a $50 million initiative by Ripple to support academic research...UNC Kenan-Flagler, MIT, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the business schools at the University of California Berkeley and the University of Texas at Austin, Fundação Getulio Vargas and universities in the Netherlands, Australia, India, Korea, Luxembourg, the U.K. and Canada (UNC and other Paid Universities are Trusted Validators) https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/news/unc-kenan-flagler-selected-to-be-part-of-50-million-blockchain-research-initiative-by-ripple/ > TECH FIRM RIPPLE SUPPORTS BLOCKCHAIN RESEARCH AT KU WITH $2M GIFT (KU is a Trusted Validator) http://news.ku.edu/2019/02/07/tech-firm-ripple-supports-blockchain-research-ku-2m-gift > BitTrue Ripple partner with 82 XRP pairs (Trusted Validator) https://www.xrparcade.com/news/xrp-friendly-exchange-bitrue-to-reach-78-xrp-based-pairs-81-total/ > Ripple investing in Towo Labs (Trusted Validator) (5 employee on LInked, Ghost Company) https://ripple.com/insights/investing-in-towo-labs/ > DigiFin (Trusted Validator) (5 employee on LInkedIn, Ghost Company) https://digifin.uk/
https://use.foldapp.com/r/X4UNC939 Can use this link if you want. Gets you 5000 free sats. Gives me an extra spin. Definitely the best rewards out there. Even a .0001% chance to win a whole Bitcoin. Strike is awesome to setup recurring buys.
I went to UW undergrad, UNC post grad. Your response merits some sort of egotistical sense that you need approval for the amount you have invested, the negative connotation you're implying clearly falls in line with being a stereotypical leftist and that you challenge others because you're not happy with yourself . 6+ figures invested is a pat on the back but not something to brag about nor post on the interweb. Congratulations, you've proved my point.
Nc 4 life like UNC fan, or like you love the state of NC?
Oh I did, it was like reading Facebook comments on a local NC news outlet after the UNC professor didn’t get tenure
Chicaco Cubs, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, Cornell, Baylor, UCLA, Maine, UNC, University of South Florida, THE TEXAS LONGHORNS just to name a few
Anything that I personally don’t like is FUD and I won’t hear otherwise. UNC basketball? FUD. Airplane seats? FUD. Your stupid face? FUD
Yep, just a week or 2 ago, she's in college at UNC now.
> this one is relatable lol. ​  ​ But yea, gotta find the right balance. Thank goodness I'm not a sucker for UNC blue colourways that's coming out this year.
I collect bank notes. It's actually a pretty nice hobby although most of what I have are UNC in mint condition inside plastic so they're never been in circulation. I'd happily keep some banknotes and also have sats:) plus new polymer notes are cool as hell
So I did some research and I was wrong How Is Cryptocurrency Taxed? Crypto taxes are based on a 2014 IRS ruling that determined cryptocurrency should be treated as a capital asset (like stocks or bonds), rather than a currency (like dollars or euros). This decision has major ramifications for people who own crypto, as it opens them up to more complicated taxes. Capital assets are taxed whenever they are sold at a profit. When you purchase goods or services with cryptocurrency, and the amount of crypto you spend has gained in value over what you paid for it, your spending incurs capital gains taxes. Let’s say you bought $20 worth of Bitcoin and held it as it rose in value to $200. If you used the bitcoin to buy $200 worth of groceries, you’d owe capital gains taxes on the $180 in profit you’d realized—even though it seems as if you spent the Bitcoin, rather than sold it. For the IRS, it’s the same thing. The fact that the IRS decided to tax crypto as a capital asset may have been because of the way most people treat it, says Jeff Hoopes, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina and research director of the UNC Tax Center. “I assume [the IRS] decided this because most people hold crypto as an investment, and we tax the appreciation on capital assets held as an investment,”

It’s like Duke vs. UNC or Michigan vs. Ohio State. Rivals! There can only be winner. But BTC vs GLD is easy, don’t nobody want that heavy ass gold. Show me the coins! This reply is sponsored by a vape pen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
