    VPN advice and recommendations

    For those of you who are using a VPN, what are some good options these days? I think I did nord vpn a few years ago and I wasn't happy with it but I can't remember why. Checking if there are better alternatives out there these days.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The secret to crypto: 1. Buy 2. Hold 3. Don't sell until you are rich. If you find yourself tempted to sell something, ask yourself one question: will I be rich if I sell? If the answer is no, don't sell.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's a good question, but keep in mind you are using the word "price" in relation to USD. That makes sense now while crypto is still in its infancy, but once you start shifting your mentality to a world where crypto has value outside of it's price in relation to USD, it changes the equation...

    Yeah, your delay has nothing to do with Binance or crypto and everything to do with banks. I moved all my crypto off Binance into a wallet months ago and it took all of 30 seconds to complete the xfer.

    If we are moving into stage C Wyckoff and this isn't just an abnormally large correction (big if), we should see BTC drop below 40k.
  15. Arden

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    IF you buy the Wyckoff accumulation theory, this drop was pretty much scheduled. It signals we are moving from Phase B into Phase C (the "Spring" phase). Again IF you buy the theory, we still have quite a ways to drop before we spring back up to ATHs.

    Yeah it's kind of strange and spotty. I've never had a problem logging into an exchange, but I've had issues making moves during a crash. I got a "cannot complete this transaction at this time." But I've definitely also heard that people couldn't even log in. Honestly, these exchanges are...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    One thing I've learned: if you wait until any major "price crash" to try and liquidate, you aren't going to be able to do it. Pretty much all the exchanges lock up at least for short periods during a crash. It's totally unacceptable, of course, and it's an indicator of how far the crypto...

    Dude, 90% of news orgs these days count as "tier 1 fake news shitstains" so I'm pretty happy with anything outside of that category tbh. Plus, I could be wrong, but I haven't seen anything to make me think Reuters is biased against BTC specifically.
  19. Arden

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Reuters is pretty believable as a general rule. I definitely give them more weight than cryptopotato.com or whatever anyway. I don't think they are just fabricating the poll or its results. I feel pretty confident that this is news, not FUD. It's also believable on its face. Bukele has a...

    Why try to get on board if the train has already left the station and is hauling ass down the track? You'll just get run over. Be patient and wait for the next stop.

    Dune (2020)

    Yep, got suckered into seeing Candyman 2021 because I went by general critic score and didn't do a deep dive. I'm not personally bothered by the fact that there is a part one and part two to Dune. The only time that stuff bothers me is if they drag it out by adding non-canon shit and it's...

    Dune (2020)

    I'm sure with enough Google searching I can figure out what you mean, but who is LLR and what does he disagree with? Edit: Nm I know who you mean. Ok, well I haven't heard his argument but he's a pretty reasonable guy so /shrug

    Dune (2020)

    So I'm immediately skeptical of that review for several reasons: First, he wraps a ton of his criticisms in generalities and cleverly worded puns that actually don't mean much when you parse them out. His writing is unnecessarily dense and hard to decipher, which always makes me suspicious...

    The D&D thread

    It's an unpopular opinion, but I agree that 4E did some things right. The problem was that they abandoned too many core tabletop RPG principles in their attempt to make combat more engaging. There is no reason you can't build a system that takes some elements from 4E combat but keeps the...

    The D&D thread

    The D&D Fly spell sucks. It poses problems. Nothing that can't be resolved, but it can be a headache. A good system builds in limitations and mitigating factors with flight to prevent it from being too much of a headache for the GM. D&D failed in this regard.

    Definitely true. The oldest and most valuable baseball cards came with a pack of gum. Meaning, it was the gum you were interested in buying and the baseball card was just this little bonus no one cared much about. There are really two arguments going on in this thread and people are...

    I mentioned it a long time ago after I had this kind of epiphany about how much blockchain tech is going to change the Internet. It's actually pretty wild when you start thinking about it. The benefits of transparency and instant verification in the digital world are fairly fucking profound.

    Getting off and on of trains and chasing the hot girl of the week is how you lose money in crypto. Also, James is correct, you cannot copy an NFT. That's the whole basis behind nfts.
