    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This is getting silly. I'm just a guy on the internet posting his opinions like everybody else. You don't have to listen to me. Don't get butthurt because I badmouth your investment. I'm not going to provide footnotes citations and references for every statement I make on a video game forum...

    Doge is all hype and memes and no substance. I think that is obvious. You can make a lot of money off of hype alone, and 'momentum trading' is a real thing that can work. But that's not for everyone. Get out early if you do that. If Vitalik and Elon come up with something technically...

    Lol. I literally keep a tab open just for Elon's tweets+replies. He's the only guy I follow that I read every single tweet. I watch tons of his interviews on Youtube. I'm a big nerd so I can't not like the guy, but I'm not a sycophant and not afraid to poke fun. Elon embarrasses himself by...

    Elon was roundly mocked on twitter recently because he said during the B-Word conference that 'average people don't run nodes' with people posting pictures of their nodes. The entire point of limiting BTC's block space is so average people can run nodes. You can run a BTC node on a smartphone...

    I like Elon and love SpaceX but he has the common problem smart people have in that he thinks he knows better than everybody in fields that isn't his specialty

    Those are 'advisors' for a 'foundation'. Vitalik is an 'advisor' to god knows how many projects by now. Neuralink's CEO is not going to be coding dogecoin. Jared Birchall is one of Musk's 'trusted aides' (says LATimes) and he hired the private investigator to try and dig up dirt on the scuba...

    this game runs on a blockchain I've never heard before, which apparently has zero TX fees even while allowing orders of magnitude more entries on a supposedly open ledger, by using something called 'rechargeable resource credits'. The whitepaper calls staking 'powering up'. Also the whitepaper...

    I'm all for discussion of NFT games that could get me stupid amounts of money by doing little to nothing

    Yes, I got that from the first reply. You'll forgive my confusion when separate ETH projects like to call themselves the same thing and polygon tokens were stolen. My response was in regards to arguing the semantics of the word 'hack' which is rather irrelevant to the users who lost money...

    LBRY/Odysee up 20% today, yay. It's nice to see my worst investment slightly less of a train wreck. Now at 98 sats. I made multiple buys of this coin anywhere from 3000 to 20,000 sats in 2017. And LBRY actually does something, unlike the dog coin. oops, down to 95 sats as I type this.

    AMM is the best thing to come out of the Ethereum ecosystem so far. It's a very cool innovation. Yield farming APY is insane. Hedge funds do like 5-10% and I'm getting ~65% on Sovryn. I don't have a lot in it yet but as my confidence grows I may add a lot more. It's fun to see the yield...

    You can call it whatever you like, but they still lost half a billion dollars and had to beg exchanges to blacklist addresses

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I quit WoW in early Cataclysm to play a classic EQ emulated server which I found to be much more enjoyable. I still logged into WoW every couple of years to fix addons, and every time I did I was kind of shocked at how much worse the game got. How anybody can continue playing retail WoW is...

    Cuban is only slightly less clueless than Elon. I doubt he understands the difference between sidechains and rollups. Rollups are an evolution of lightning, so that's why they're exciting. With sidechains you're exiting into a completely different security model/network which is far less...

    No layer 1 is going to handle all the world's transactions. That's fantastical nonsense for a distributed public ledger. ETH and Radix and such are going with shards but what that does is trade security for more TX capacity, and that capacity is still going to be too limited. Sidechains have...

    Lowry has an interesting take. Since the primary role of governments is to protect the property of the opulent, (or seize more property from others via force) bitcoin could displace much of government's role. Humanity will need to abolish war soon if we are to survive as a species regardless...

    I mean, Eth was the textbook definition of a premine+ICO, and it was a large one, but that doesn't mean Ethereum isn't a real project doing revolutionary things. The founders+ICO buyers basically granted themselves a lot of ownership stake in the network at the expense of newcomers. People...

    It's amazing how my political allies have changed so much in recent years. To the point that I hate Elizabeth Warren for the fraud that she is and am grateful for Ted Cruz here is not something I would have expected not long ago. Something can be 'security-like' without being one or not one...

    I was checking out ETH gas fees a few weeks ago, saw that something called 'Axie Infinity' was using a lot of gas on the network. I thought, WTF is that? Googled it, and it's some Pokemon-like NFT game made in Vietnam and Filipinos are making tons of money off of it. Like crypto kitties with...

    The Portman-Warner amendment is still hostile to bitcoin because bitcoin has layers on top, which would be affected. Lightning would be. I'm also yield farming using Rootstock/Sovryn contracts right now, so bitcoin has some nascent DeFi on it. It's so vague it will just scare developers out...

    Give me a fucking break. People didn't know about Cosby in 2013. Here, check this link for a Daily Show interview with Jon Stewart (who is in fact, a comedian in comedian circles) in November 2013 where Stewart gushes over the comedic 'legend' (literally the first word out of Stewart's mouth...
