    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This is so fucking dumb, though. Obviously Ethereum can touch Bitcoin's use case, and in fact is already superseding it. Look, here's Bitcoin's use case as described in the whitepaper itself: The only reason you think Ethereum doesn't do this already is because you do not understand it...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Bitcoin doesn't have a product, there are virtually zero Bitcoin strategies in the decentralized finance space. It does what it set out to do (provide secure, peer to peer payments), and Ethereum is a whole different beast which will eat that up.

    You're a dumbass who obviously doesn't know you can rent hashpower at a fraction of the rate of owning. Or even anything about the 38.7% attack, I'm assuming. Quoting me antminer prices like a fucking retard, here, come on.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Bitcoin is no more credible than Dogecoin, as they're both more or less the same technology. We've had distributed ledgers at the forefront of the crypto space for over 10 years now, and all anyone could figure out what to do with them is make them into a store of value - literally sit on it...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    If you think a distributed ledger running on a proof of work consensus is even a fraction of the usefulness of a distributed state machine running on proof of stake, you are indeed a sucker, crypto boomer, and an idiot on top of it. If you think Ethereum is centralized, it's because you have no...

    Is Flobee some kind of crypto boomer who thinks everyone should buy the crypto savings bonds and wait for it to appreciate instead of an active participant in the decentralized finance markets which are becoming massively disruptive to the status quo? Real fuckin complex thinker there, can't...

    Yeah that's breaking the ATH this year, in case that isn't absolutely crystal clear by the chart. Do you not understand that Ethereum is literally the future of cryptocurrencies, that the entire cryptocurrency sector will revolve around scaling Ethereum, and that Bitcoin is now old and...

    Ethereum going to be somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000 by the end of this year, and Truebit is the best long term play right now.

    READ IT AND WEEP, Ethereum is the greatest and Bitcoin is 2010s technology. Truebit going to be a top 3 coin in 5 years.

    Yeah, what is local and global is not always obvious or intuitive. They've fixed a few mods to be a little more obvious in this regard, but it's always going to be a problem in their architecture.

    The evasion mods on gear are local and already taken into account in the evasion of the item. For instance, Queen of the Forest has a base item of Destiny Leather which is 601 evasion. Queen of the Forest with 200% increased evasion would make that 1803 evasion listed on the item. Evasion...

    Sounds like you have it figured out, but note that you'll need at least 15,000 evasion to break even on movespeed when equipping QotF due to the -25% reduction.

    What are you having problems with? It should be pretty straight forward, base movement speed - 25% + (evasion/600).

    Shouldn't try to roll an Eclipse base unless you're going spell caster imo. For melee, you'd want either Imperial Staff or Judgement Staff (imo Imperial), and they're a huge pain in the ass to roll. I mean absolutely GOOD LUCK, but I went down that rabbit hole once and never again!

    The sneakiest map mod interaction is Players are Cursed with Vulnerability + Strongbox Caustic Clouds. Caustic Clouds is popped by shooting out a projectile from the strongbox, and if that projectile is buffed it can one shot very beefy characters.

    Yeah, mirroring a rare staff is the best bet for getting one, but that's still ~300 ex depending on the mirror fee and chromes, and only in Standard -- doubt you'll find one up for mirror in league. Don't think I'll be able to use Abyssus on HC regardless of what my armor looks like, so my crit...

    Saw a thread on reddit awhile back about a guy that tried to craft a rare staff better than Hegemony's. Took him ~500ex and he made one with slightly higher base damage. I think the Hegemony upgrade is Disintegrator, but *shrug*.

    Being able to run any combination of mods on a map is great for saving money long term, but yeah I don't think reflect is nearly as bad as some other map mod combinations. No life regeneration can fuck itself.

    If you haven't played it since Ancestral Call was added, that really ups the clearspeed of Double Strike.

    Well Reave doesn't work with axes, but if you've never done Reave you have to make at least one Reave character. I'm sure it's a written rule somewhere. Double Strike is actually a lot of fun, I'd go with that as well. If you can manage to find a good helmet with the 30% Earthquake reduction...

    The preferred method of 6 linking is to use Orbs of Fusing on a 6 socket item until it gets 6 links. This could happen anywhere from 1 fusing to many multiple thousands of fusings, so good luck.

    I'm not, this patch gave us the ability to change which map the recipe generates by swapping out maps. For Iceberg specifically, if you turn in 3 Atolls and it gives you back an Arid Lake, swap out one of the Atolls for a different one and it will give you Iceberg.

    Path of Exile

    No need, really. It always generates a map one tier higher that's connected on the Atlas, and this patch gave us the ability to choose which one by swapping maps around. So if you want a T4, look on the map and see what it's connected to for T3, and then turn in 3 of those.

    You can also trade up 3 maps for a map of the next tier, very useful for white maps.
