Because they consider themselves bigger than the Fed or JPM. This would let them establish their own economy essentially. As for the VET/VTHO comparisons. Amazon is already a logistics company, it would make sense for them to have a blockchain for that use alone, then extend it into a currency.

WalMart is also setting the stage for this. Where they sell gas you can pay cash, or you can get a .05 a gallon discount if you walk inside, buy a WalMart gift card and load it up with your cash to pay for gas. It's essentially WalMart Coin pegged to (Dollar+.05) for gas. I bet eventually...

My bet is still that they will launch their own coin/token. Then Amazon Gift Cards will really just by some of the Amazon Crypto.

Check it.. It's not as accurate when you go too far back from the ATH, but since, it's a pretty clear "Get in/Get Out" indicator. One of the traders I watch is Krowne from Krowne's Crypto Cave on Youtube and he's been going nuts for the last month on how much the "damn witches" are just as...

I've found the key to knowing when to get in and out on BTC..... Moon Cycles ladies and GentleXers.... Full moon = get IN, new moon = get out! edit : corrected to get the phases right...

I'm in a part of Dallas that is like a damn nexus of Fast Food joints. As of a few years ago the only ones I had to drive on a freeway to get to were Cane's, Chick-fil-a, and IN-and-out. Now that's rectified too. It's kinda insane, and definitely not healthy. Although I can coach you on...

I don't remember the last time I went to a Wendy's. In a world where I have Whataburger, Braum's and Sonic all within around 1.5 miles of my house the Wendys at 2 miles away is just a mistake I choose not to make.

Teeth are highly overrated....

Yeah, I'm wondering if something triggered a big old short squeeze....

Almost over? Come to Texas. Today was what we call the real first day of summer. I.e. the first day of the year we hit 100 degrees... (oh yeah and mentally convert that to your crazy euro temp scale...)

Be a shame if someone set their sprinklers out and accidentally had them dowsing the street in front of your house.....

Same house also had a "Dog Bedroom" next to that under the staircase.... 4bd/4ba big lot, I'm sure they barely want a mil for it One and a half mil for it.... c'mon, here's your Texas/Florida house sir! And it's still inside Dallas proper so your wife can keep feeling comfortably Democrat. ;)

That works, also there's this stuff. You mix one ounce to one gallon of water, and pour one gallon of solution per 10 ft of perimeter of your house once a year. I use it and love it. Found this after I had to rebuild 80% of the studs in my detatched garage due to carpenter ants.. and fuck...

I'm at the point of "accumulating dry powder" because I still have this sneaking suspicion we're going to see a late august/early September pullback. Once the rest of the world remembers that Biden doesn't know what he's talking about when he said increasing government spending is going to...

And now we get a show about captain "big hands".... I seem to remember a great song about big hands, and how you know she's the one... back from the 80's..... heh

If you can't get somewhere to get a freshly fried one... then around Thanksgiving/Xmas if you're in a part of the country with Sam's Clubs keep a look there for pre-fried packaged turkey breast. It's seasonal. But it's heat and eat goodness. Tastes good without that terrible "This is dry as...

Yeah, @Mrs. Haus and I have a friend who's really short, she comes over for game night and struggles because the chair will just start gracefully rolling away from the game table and her feet aren't on the floor to stop it. heh

Well, my desire for a multi-use device is mostly that I am a little limited on workshop space. As for why also a CNC... One of the thing used often in metalcasting are graphite molds. The easiest way to make your own graphite molds is to get blocks of graphite and use a CNC (and if you don't...

No Lies Detected. I'm a few steps away from not needing any connection to a traditional bank : A debit card which can be set to "each time I make a purchase/withdrawal cash out crypto holdings in this order (a.. b.. c.. etc..) to pay it" (pretty sure this already exists and I've just been too...

OK, I am looking at getting into this in combination with my other Tinkering/Making hobbies (3d printing, and metal casting). Are there any good recommendations, or anybody currently using, a multi purpose tool in this area? I'd like one which could accomplish the following. Laser engraving...

I use those on all my office chairs, and the chairs in my game room. (all hardwood floors here) and they work perfectly to protect the floor, plus the smoothest rolling experience I've ever had in a chair.

They're probably finally realizing that all those customers of theirs who are doing an ACH to Coinbase or another exchange every month might actually not if they offered crypto. Galaxy Brain In Action!

and all this as opposed to... smoking?

Have none of you filthy heathens had properly deep fried turkey yet? THAT is the only way to eat it.

Yes, but that alone tracks with it's past performance. Where is acts as an "amplifier" of whatever ETH does (ETH goes up a little, MATIC goes up a LOT... but the same happens on the downside most of the time) The thing I'm noting that's different is that MATIC volume has surged far more this...

So, looking at BTC, ETH, and MATIC this morning.... All are following the same pricing trending, which I suspected. But I'm wondering if I need to be interpreting MATIC differently due to volume? Thoughts?

Also we're about to see inflation overall.. Before it was just commodity lumber price inflation.

Yes, but it wasn't to solve a "needs to run a long time during a power outage" situation. We live in an older neighborhood. The electric in our neighborhood has the occasional flicker/bump, the UPS is more that I wanted top tier line conditioning and something which could intercept those...

We're pretty sure it had been without power at least 48-72 hours. It had been a while since we needed to get anything out or put anything in. We have two, a chest freezer, and a regular refrigerator on our enclosed patio. The things in the regular fridge's freezer were all completely thawed...

I look at it this way... As an expansion on something I said earlier in this thread. I see essentially two crypto "worlds". The heavies - BTC and ETH - If you invested on this during this run (say from the last point they were at/around $30k until now when they've dropped back) it makes...

That "Spread it over all of the companies" approach is almost identical to how a lot of people approach the altcoin market in crypto. The downside is you lose 100% of your initial investment, the upside is you make 10x-30x if it blows up. This means moonbags on a wide spread of very new...

We've had a few summer storms here in Dallas. Apparently one within the last week threw just enough chaos at the power in my neighborhood to trip the power strip protecting the chest freezer we have. Unknown exactly how long it's been off, but the top half of the meat in the freezer had thawed...

Today was the first morning I haven't checked my crypto portfolio levels as I already know it's just a depressing bloodbath. As for the EU banning "anonymous" bitcoin wallets. There's actually no way to do that, literally because of how the Bitcoin environment is built. They'll have to just...

Pretty much what people pasted videos of. Melt down low temp metals (think things under iron/steel) and then cast stuff. This is an extension of my multiple 3d printers, and me hitting a wall where I want to be able to make things out of a more durable/sturdy material than plastic. Here's one...

I'll have to contribute this one...

my Bday present for myself.. because I don't have enough useless tinkering hobbies yet...
