Maybe? I've got questions and I'm not sure anyone will really know what it ends up looking like until it happens. I think your point is a valid concern though. I'll tell you why. The twitter thread I linked a few posts ago is a really good/clear explanation about the ideas behind Web3. That...

The entire crypto industry is unproven and risky when it comes to long-term viability. Saying POS is unproven means very little when comparing it to the crypto industry as a whole. Also, ETH hasn't fully transitioned to 2.0 yet (though it remains to be seen if it will do anything for gas...

Yeah, I mean most things about crypto are untested/unproven at scale, and the scale is increasing all the time. It's emergent tech, just saying something is unproven doesn't mean much. I haven't heard any logical explanation as to why it wouldn't function as well as PoW. I'm still remaining...

Yes, I saw you don't like pos. Ok I'll bite: why don't you like pos?

It's the foundation for Web3. Doesn't get much bigger than that. Edit: Web3

Matic was actually exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote 2. It's been on one hell of a run recently, and I don't personally chase runners, but I don't really see it slowing down in the near future, so...

First question you'll want to answer is are you looking to buy: 1. A very risky low-cap shit coin in the hope that you choose the right one for a future pump group so you can turn 1k into 1,000,000 practically overnight. You would be doing this with the understanding that if the coin doesn't...

ETH not really in a dip, but you might want to buy it anyway. There are less "safe" coins that you could buy that might give you a better return though- which is what I am assuming you are asking.

Yeah, apparently Wright indicated that once he "won this case" he would move coins and donate the majority of them to charity. Well, he won the case, so we'll see. Would be really interesting if he was Satoshi. I'm not sure if that would be good or bad for BTC price (and crypto as a whole).

You can file for extensions any year, but late March is when the normal market usually gets the selloff dip.

Yeah, I can see why someone would want to avoid crossing that line in the first place, but I personally crossed it a long time ago, so that wouldn't matter to me.

Not saying you don't get good swings on ETHE, especially in situations like you mention. But I've got ETH and ETHE next to each other on my watch list and ETH swings more, percentage wise. For example, ETH often bottoms out (or sometimes tops out) in the middle of the night in the US, thanks...

If you're going to swing Ethereum that doesn't seem like a bad way to do it. I have ETHE in my retirement account (because you can't buy actual Ethereum with an IRA yet). Because ETHE is subject to stock market hours, it ends up being a good deal less volatile than ETH. This means you could...

Don't know if it's still going to be around by Sunday night, much less Monday. But who knows I was going to buy more matic but it's already creeping back up to the $2 mark. Will probably buy more anyway.

Matic dropped all the way to 1.55 and immediately bounced back up to 1.85. Seems like this was just a coordinated whale buy.

I have no idea how low this is going to ultimately end up dipping, but I'm 100% sure crypto will be back at aths in the near future.

Doesn't hurt to sent them that low, as long as you are ok with missing a dip if it doesn't hit.

Yeah this was the sale you were waiting for.

GDI Rajaah what did I ever do to you?

Polygon zkrollup news 🔥🔥🔥. Have a feeling poly is going to be one of those coins that jumps from $1ish to $100ish really fast. Of course I'm biased but...

Nothing says Christmas like murdered children.

Artificially induced difficulty? As opposed to what? Organic, non-man made difficulty? You guys crack me up.

Yeah, I've seen the "well, actually, EQ wasn't that difficult" trend over the last few years. I strongly suspect half the people trying to retcon EQ into an "actually not that difficult" game either didn't play 1999-2000 EQ or don't remember what it was like. People jump on P99 or some other...

Seems right to me. Both Matic and Tru were outpacing the market just prior to the Thanksgiving dip. I think it's less that Tru is "immune" to the dip, it's just that what would have been a really big bump for Tru turned into something like a wash thanks to the market downturn. As ETH becomes...

It feels to me like if the stock market is stable, you can gain some benefit from independent crypto chart analysis. But if the stock market is being unusually volatile, trying to read the tea leaves by looking only at crypto charts is impossible. The crypto market still feels like a microcosm...

It depends on your goal, but if your intent is to sell soon, sure ETH seems like the best option. Between taxes and transaction fees, it just seems so inefficient to try and swing trade with something like TRU. And if you aren't swing trading I'm not sure why you wouldn't just hold onto it...

Why are you swapping TRU to ETH out of curiosity? Trying to sell off your TRU?

Cool- like I said, it was just my impression. If they are planning on sticking to a hardcore game in the vein of OG EQ that's great. I think it's their best chance of success and I wish them luck. But what I heard from that vid didn't sound like that was the case.

I don't really want to drill down because it's not really worth my time, if I'm being totally honest. But briefly: From following this game basically since it's inception, it was clear that Brad's vision was to create a game that re-established many of the core concepts/principles/mechanics...

Well, first tell me if you think I'm wrong.

Yeah that's what it seems like. 800 people isn't enough to warrant dumping money into game development for 10 years (or even 1 year). If the people calling the shots decide a wow clone is their best bet to make a profit, well that's what the game is going to become, regardless of whether it...

Haven't checked in on this thread in a long time. Listened to a little of this. They've gone pretty much 180 degrees from Brad's original vision of this game. Sad. I'm guessing they put this out to "clarify" for all the few diehard fans they had left who still expected the game to be...

Speaking of zk- you know anything about Polygon's Miden and how it stacks up to other zk projects? This is normally the type of question James would answer but he's gone and disappeared on us.

The world has changed a lot since Bretton Woods. If Mist's doom and gloom scenario is an oversimplification of how easily the US would collapse if BTC became a global reserve currency, your post is an overly optimistic view of why a collapse wouldn't happen. US ally status is still important...

Well Mist, you paint a pretty grim picture. Sounds like all Americans should be rooting against Bitcoin...

Describe what you think would change in America if the world began adopting BTC as the global reserve currency.

I see. I think you might be misunderstanding capitalism though. A certain amount of disruption is a byproduct of capitalism, but disruption definitely isn't the "point" of capitalism. The point of capitalism is pretty straightforward: let the best man win. Allow consumers the freedom to...

What the hell does "poorly controlled creative destruction" even mean?

Yep, concur. Good movie, great concept. Last 5 minutes were inconsistent and inexplicably unnecessary but didn't ruin the movie or anything. Worth watching. We need more movies like this: low budget, small scope, cool concept, no big, super expensive actors, but generally well-written and...
