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...

Speaking of ETH https://time.com/6158182/vitalik-buterin-ethereum-profile/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_term=business_cryptocurrency&linkId=156876379 "But as the crowd pushes inside, a wiry man with elfin features is sprinting out of the venue, past...

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...

@Tmac

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?

Sim swap won't work with Google authenticator. You had google authenticator right? If someone got control of your account, they would change your email before making any other moves. I'm sure emails were sent when transactions were made, the emails just didn't come to you. What they should...

That sucks man. Sounds shady though. Let us know what CB says

Have all my Google authenticator stuff copied to my wife's phone so if I lose mine I don't get locked out of anything

Good article on why Web 3 will have a serious struggle to be as "decentralized and censorship-proof" as it claims it is (or can be). https://www.theverge.com/22939290/web3-coinbase-apple-moderation-nfts

Grasping the game's mechanics and giving a shit about them are two different things. Am I right?

Lol, did he mean to say a "vulnerable U.S. trading partner" or a "valuable U.S. trading partner"? Funny either way. Few thoughts: -The money laundering thing is such a red herring. Just come out and say it's 100% about preserving the role of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. This...

Is it your position that, assuming mass adoption, governments will lose the ability to trace and track BTC transactions? Because they clearly have that ability right now (just look at the news). Assuming they maintain that ability, and I don't see why they wouldn't, it would be a pretty simple...

I dunno man. I think we are a long way from BTC (or any crypto) being censorship resistant. If your government is going to act like a tyrant*, BTC isn't going to save you. * Speaking theoretically here- not necessarily in reference to this specific Canadian example

Worthwhile clip considering who he is talking to.

You've gotta be a pretty bad trader to lose money with crypto. Literally just wait a week and you'll be back in the green.

Yes I know lol, we aren't arguing. Maybe I'm wrong, but for all we know Apple isn't even aware that they are "enabling" crypto payments by taking the Coinbase card along with all the other credit and debit cards they are taking.

Yeah: “Coinbase will automatically convert all cryptocurrency to US Dollars and transfer the funds to your Coinbase Card (less conversion fees) for use in purchases and ATM withdrawals.” One, Apple "enabling" crypto transactions seems more incidental than intentional. And two, no actual...

If I'm reading it right, Apple "enables" crypto payments by integrating with the coinbase and crypto.com debit cards, which allow you to use crypto directly to pay for things. So basically, instead of going to a store and using your coinbase debit card to pay for something with crypto (which...

I only find this whole storyline mildly interesting, but that video is great. Here's her video where she explains to everybody how she got rich "without any outside funding"

Good info- thanks for the details.
