    Well boys, it's on. Insider reporting Amazon to begin accepting BTC and put out its own token by 2022. Assuming this is confirmed (and that's a big assumption) it's hard to imagine how big of a catalyst this is going to be for cryptocurrencies. Hope everyone has their positions already set...

    This is exactly right. And it includes BTC.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    We are getting a crypto trend reversal today. Friday evenings have been a significant down day for crypto for quite a while, but we just got a big bump. Checking around I'm seeing lots of hype (as opposed to the normal FUD). Wonder if the accumulation phase is coming to an end and we are...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Let's be honest, crypto is the wolf at the door for trad finance, especially banks like JPM. They are responsible for a ton of the FUD that gets thrown out about crypto for a reason. If crypto ultimately reaches its natural conclusion, banks that have failed to adapt will cease to exist. I...

    Wild guess here, but it could mean that whales are expecting an imminent surge in ETH transactions, which would drastically increase the cost of said transactions. MATIC of course being currently the best solution to expensive ETH transactions. Probably related to the implementation of 1559 in...

    Well, MATIC is up 32%, on the day compared to ETHs 10%, so yes?

    Agree with pretty much everything about this analysis. I've got some ETH and a couple of the top alts (Matic and vet) I'm holding them for the foreseeable future. For now I've just been accumulating dry powder and hoping that the slow bleed continues until we get down to the bottom, which I'm...

    That's a great comparison. We used to replace the liquor we took with water to keep the levels up. It worked until the bourbon was about 50% water. Also: Yellen urges federal agencies to 'act quickly' on stablecoin regulation As usual, Casey is on top of shit. The stable coin issue may...

    These are pretty much must-see for anyone in crypto. Great vids. Also, you missed a really important distinction. She is very much down on the "short term" future of crypto and still very bullish about the long-term future.

    Very seriously considered it, but I just got my new rewards card and don't know if I want to switch up. That said, if there aren't any catches in the fine print it seems like a crazy good deal if you believe (like most people in this thread do) that Bitcoin is going to eventually increase...

    The D&D thread

    Yeah, in the early days of DnD, Shadowrun, etc, not too many people used grid maps, we just kind of described the situation and everybody used their imagination. It wasn't terrible, mostly because we didn't have a basis for comparison to something better. But we definitely spent a lot of time...

    Maybe I'm not getting what you are saying, but in most cases the map remains dark until the players explore it, so the GM creating a map doesn't mean the PCs know where anything is. You also have several options with how you want to handle parts of the map the PCs have already explored and...

    Yeah, I mean every investment is a risk and nothing is guaranteed. The conversation we were having had to do with how profitable of an asset Bitcoin had been as a long-term investment to this point. And the answer is extremely profitable. Who knows what might happen in the future? That said...

    Right. When that happens you don't sell. You just wait a little while until it goes back up 300% or 800% in a few months or a year and then you sell. Or better yet, you hold it five years until it goes up %16000 and then sell. There are lots of issues/concerns with crypto, but long-term...

    I don't know wtf you guys are talking about. BTC is one of the best performing assets you can possibly buy if you are long. It's up roughly 275% in the last year and it's up almost 5000% in the last 5 years. ETH is up more than 800% in the last year and 16,000%(!) in the last 5 years. The...

    It's not that it "could be" a coincidence. That's the sort of framing that stokes the fires of crackpot conspiracy theories. It IS a coincidence until there is even a shred of evidence otherwise. Also, if you want to use the Miami building collapse as fodder for BTC conspiracy theories, keep...

    Just so I'm clear, you are suggesting that somebody, or some government, presumably the United States government, arranged a building collapse that killed 100 people in Miami in order to send a message to Paraguay about adopting Bitcoin?

    From what I can tell: JPM "Liink" is the payment infrastructure/payment settlement system that "links" banks to the same network JPM "Onxy" is what JPM's proprietary blockchain is called JPM "Coin" is JPM's proprietary crypto currency.

    Oh, I'd be really surprised if they tried to put any kind of limitations on febucks that weren't already on the dollar. I'm sure you could buy anything with a fedbuck you could buy with a dollar- which means you could buy crypto with fedbucks. I do think you raise a really interesting point...
