Yeah that sounds like what I'm looking for. Under $500 and does basic smartphone things. So many fucking choices these days, I'll need to figure out why it costs so much less than something like the S22. If it's just the camera, well, I can deal with that. Edit: Easy enough- Samsung Galaxy...

Finally time to replace my 4.5 year old Pixel 2. Anyone have any Android recommendations? I don't need the latest and greatest, more interested in best bang for the buck. Love your phone? Does it cost less than a grand? Let me know! Edit: I should probably mention I'm going to Europe in a...

1. Scarcity is required for value. If there was an unlimited supply of Dogecoins and anyone could have as many as they wanted, they would be meaningless. 2. Value is required for collateral. If you don't value an item you are risking as collateral, there is no risk and no value, and the item...

I'm enthused to see my investments looking like they are going to come to fruition. I say "looking like" because we definitely aren't there yet. I'm not an activist investor and I don't invest with emotion, so you shouldn't really read much about my political or philosophical ideals through my...

Right. Fundamentally sound base but it needed network upgrades (from what I understand) and both Musk and Vitalik have helped with that. https://www.binance.com/en/news/top/6657179

Exactly. By all rights Doge *should* be a shit coin. Hell, it was designed as a joke. That said, if enough powerful people with enough resources and ability decide they want to make it into something other than a shitcoin, they can do that.

It's a suggestion to try and do exactly what I posted about previously: use a cryptocurrency as an authenticator and a token system for both payments and voting. If it actually got implemented for Twitter it would be a huge step towards Web3. Who knows if it would actually get implemented...

Good for him for acknowledging it.

Did Jeff also explain that part of the reason Vanguard failed is because he spent pretty much all day, every day in the office playing WoW?

Didn't realize that about the BTC IOU's. You're right, that does make a difference. Still a good step, but a smaller one than I thought it was. Also agree on the authentication thing. I didn't want to get too deep into @Deathwing 's question about whether it was a "good thing" or not...

Bitcoin... it's in the title of the article lol. I think Musk will try and incorporate Blockchain tech into twitter in multiple ways, based on things he has said in the past (and for other reasons). First as an authentication device: think NFT's instead of blue checks, used to identify unique...

Through 2 eps. Good show so far! I'm surprised.

100% chance he either got rich from crypto and retired from public life or he called the wrong person a retard and they killed him. No other explanation is possible

It was bound to happen. It's super easy to do, you can make a ton of money off of it, and there is very little regulation in this field, so it would seem the risks are small. I'm sure this has been done by employees of various crypto exchanges numerous times previously and there are now a lot...

This explains... So much

It IS a variation of the Martian. Just a really good one with new twists. Also highly recommend.

Hope you guys stocked up on Doge for the pending announcement re: Doge/Musk/Twitter JK

Agree that's the premise. Disagree that is (and will be) the reality. Crypto was designed, in part, to eliminate the middle man. Instead, crypto will ultimately eliminate *some* of the middle men and replace others. You give far too much credit to humanity if you think the population of the...

Yeah, but that leaves me with like 12 different emails. I mean, you could argue that if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. I just think that some corporations need to build in better security for their customers. Again, it's a sign of how immature the crypto field is that something...

Right. It's important to draw a distinction between problems with the various things in the crypto universe (exchanges, money laundering, scams) and the actual cryptocurrencies themselves and blockchain tech in general. Conflating the two is sloppy at best and disingenuous at worst, and it's...

Honestly, I get really annoyed at historical shows that throw in ridiculous anachronistic bullshit just to try and check boxes and broaden their fan base. I love historical fiction but I'll turn a show off really fast if it starts getting way more fiction than history- especially if it feels...

Only into the second episode but I'm not sure I'm digging this season as much as the others. Not terrible so far but doesn't seem up to the standard of the others. Will keep watching for now.

Neither BTC nor ETH were designed to be anonymous or untraceable, and that makes them ineffective as a way to circumvent sanctions. Russia has definitely tried to use them to avoid sanctions but it has (for the most part) failed miserably. But again, neither BTC nor ETH were designed for this...

Well, your notes don't include any kind of timeline (didn't watch the video, so I'm not sure if that does), but I guess if you stretch out all of the things you mentioned on a timeline of about 50 or 60 years, it begins to seem at least a little more viable. Then again, I suspect that the...

Quite a lot of, uh, speculation there...

"We're studying it" has been the policy for a while now. If that Crypto.com news you posted is true, it should be driving down the market. Every other time there's been a margin call we've seen a substantial dip in the market.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-exchanges-shut-down-if-dont-suspend-russian-accounts-bill-browder-194047400.html Asset manager Bill Browder, who for years specialized as an investor in major Russian firms, told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday that cryptocurrency exchanges should...

The redundancy is your recovery phrase... The hardware could break or you could even lose it and it wouldn't matter.

Moving all my coins to a hardware wallet was the best move I've ever made

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-surges-leads-crypto-as-russia-ukraine-crisis-moves-from-bad-to-worse-175019852.html Bitcoin rocketed by over 5% on Tuesday, even as risk aversion drove down blue-chip and technology shares that cryptocurrencies have been linked to for weeks.

Hey, if I didn't believe I wouldn't have the exposure I already have to the crypto market. For me it's always been a question of when, not if.

I will say it's possible that a global situation like the one into which we are careening ends up speeding up the crypto timeline. I.e. it could end up making it LESS of a speculative investment and more of an actual alternative/hedge. Not saying it's probable, but it is possible.

At *some point* BTC/crypto may be an actual hedge against inflation and a true store of value. But right now it's still in "speculative investment" territory, which means not only is it going to follow the rest of the market, but it's going to fluctuate significantly more than the rest of the...

Not sure I'm getting this. If emails were sent to your email address why didn't you get them? Did you just miss them?
