USDT isn't the only USD stable coin, so even if it gets exposed there are other routes. Plus there are more and more "pull from your debit card/bank account/etc" onramps. Or if you're in Texas it's Beer, Bullets, and Butter. (With Bitcoin wishing it could get in on that party)

SO I tried out awesome miner and Zergpool, and with my electric rate turns out I should actually turn a profit letting my new system chew through hashes in the background... supposedly. Crochety old Haus will not believe this until he sees a BTC deposit land.

First, I agree with you about institutional money too now that I've had a chance to look at the days volumes and prices... As for the charts. https://www.lookintobitcoin.com/charts/relative-unrealized-profit--loss/ If you mark a line at 85% or so, and label it "Irrational exuberance" then you...

And everyday we stray farther from the grace of God...

Same here, it's now set up on my desk as I get things from old system onto it. I'm going to "reinstall things from the ground up so you don't have all those crap apps you never use on your old system on this one" route. Then going to move my trusty old 2TB HDD with pics/documents/whatever on...

The term "Global Reserve Currency" is the currency that governments use to store their value for most people discussion politics/fiscal policy. I'm referencing that the governments aren't going to allow something they can't control to be that reserve because they need to control it to keep the...

I honestly think people are overestimating how much BTC will shoot up due to the stimmy getting passed. Out of that $1.9T only a fraction of it is going out to people, and with the restrictions on who is getting it fewer and fewer middle class people (who could probably afford to drop it into...

Yes, I know someone who wrote her doctoral thesis on this exact topic. The problem is insuring that the individual's identity is secure and anonymized from the vote while the vote itself is blockchain validated. She worked out a system for it and it works. But honestly I think there are...

OK, so I now come before you to see if I'm crazy or not. I need a few card for gaming. I'm woefully behind, which I could deal with until @Mrs. Haus got me a 4k monitor. Currently running a dual nvidia setup of a GTX 760 paired up with a GTX 660. Yeah, it's that bad. Yes, I am ashamed...

My bag currently.... BTC - 68% ETH - 24% Uniswap - 3% Chainlink - 2% Cosmos - 1% Algorand - 1% Oh, and 66 ADA in a separate wallet for staking experiment. I've been reading a lot on ETH lately, and I think it might outperform BTC for a while, so my next cash infusion into the cryptobucket...

There are already projects moving along to take the concept of social media and leverage blockchain technologies to make them decentralized. You see DeFi now for Decentralized Finance, it's a matter of if not when we get DeSoc (Decentralized Social Media). Imagine the repository for all...

In a way the software industry is already doing this, just without blockchain. Those "activation keys" you get are really encrypted strings which they can validate as authentic. The thing the blockchain adds is the ability to track explicitly who bought what. Before they could easily check...

Well, for digital art, if you wanted to protect it, for the most part, you would only put a thumbnail on the item in it's sale profile. Even then someone could screen scrape the graphic itself. But the reality is that yes, it wouldn't be that useful for just a graphic. I'm still honestly...

To imagine the value of NFTs you have to look past the ideas of correlating it to physical art, even though that's what people are trying to do. Remember in Ready Player One? All those in game items... think of them as NFTs. There could only be so many Deloreans, or so many Fireflies, or so...

For me I have been considering taking money I had parked in a traditional savings account (as a "just in case money" buffer) and just putting it into USDC and then storing those on BlockFi for interest. I think it all comes down to how much you trust the stability/ethics/security of the...

I'm still confused though as to if this Superman and Lois is on the same Earth as the Flash and the rest of the Arrowverse (since they're confirming Stargirl apparently as being on Earth 2 by bringing in Wesley Shipp's Jay Garrick in season 2)

... and that's possibly the highest praise one can give it. ;) Second episode done, still feeling cautiously optimistic about it. I can see the path the twins drama will unfold along, but that isn't bothering me much. I'm sure we'll have a steady diet of Small Town Reporter Lois Lane, but...

I can like and appreciate that. Sets up a proper bad guy, that being a bad guy who believes he is the good guy.

You remember thinking it was highway robbery when you had to pay 24 cents per shot for hollow point 9mm ammo.

Yep, that's him. Something about the way he talks on them just grates me, but I see his point, and I'll honestly let it run in the background (muted) on my system if it gets him another view towards having more views than her.

So today's pondering in my head.... Keep my coins in my wallet, with my keys, etc.... v. Put the ones I can on BlockFi and earn "interest" on them.... With a side tangent of the hybrid being that I can keep my Cardano on my Deadalus wallet and stake from there.

I don't watch this, but @Mrs. Haus watches a youtuber who "Hate Reviews" it every week. At this rate his hate reviews are going to be getting more weekly views than the show they're based on within a month.

I'm taking a "wait and see" approach as the first 2-3 episodes of about any series is going to do a ton of exposition/setup/character establishment. I do agree that we will need to see more "Superman doing Superman shit" v. "Side characters doing their thing" in the long run to really make me...

For the love of God tell me you're being sarcastic... At the very end, when he's back on his ship/base (apparently in some artic type area) and the ship/base computer is talking to him about analysis from the first fight and what needs to be improved/modified on the suit, and it refers to him...

Well this story is relevant to the Flash show as it will force them to write around not having one of what I felt were the few entertaining characters they had. I was honestly, and mostly because of the sentimentality towards the comic characters, hoping to see them play out the Ralph/Sue...

OK, my understanding of NFT's. It's essentially leveraging a blockchain to guarantee authenticity of a digital item/object. It's like the DRM of the cryptocurrency world, and then some. As an artist, you would be able to create digital items. Essentially this is a file or some kind. many...

That's another part that is somewhat perplexing to me, probably indicating I don't understand enough of it yet. In a traditional market downturn you would see a "flight to safety". That's usually the bond market. But sometimes if the downturn is inflationary it goes to commodities. We are...

What I am not understanding right now is that all the tracking news seems to be indicating a near term influx of institutional money wanting to buy into bitcoin, yet seeing the price correction continue is odd. Although some are speculating that a lot of institutional buying isn't happening on...

You guys are pontificating about trading which is happening over a weekend AND over the end of a month. I'm definitely still a completely noob at this, but everything I've been reading since Friday has been saying it's not smart to do any trading this weekend, and most of them are expecting...

That was pretty much my path I ended up using.... USD -> coinbase -> BTC -> Kraken -> Deadalus Wallet -> staking. The whole process ended up costing me around 2-3% in fees and crap, and could be summed up with the phrase PITA.

OK, @Mrs. Haus and I had a go at the pilot. I liked it. If they can keep this tone it will keep me watching. But they have to avoid two things for me. Don't slip into the Woke-abyss (i.e. Supergirl...) Don't turn into "People... in hallways... talking about their feelings!" (i.e. what...

Yeah, I'm thinking we're going to see BTC retest some lows in the next week. Reading news on this it seems to be being partially driven by one of the big mining pools dropping a bunch of BTC onto the exchanges. Still trying to figure out easiest way to get into ADA and MATIC in Texas short of...

They have obviously failed in actually transitioning to being a man, as a man would not have taken "abuse" and just have just given her the back of his hand for getting out of line and carried on with his day. #amirite?

OK. Newb question here. I'm on Coinbase (see the "old guy finds money" post). But wanting to buy into some other altcoins, most of which you can't buy on the coinbase exchange. But apparently binance you just can't use in Texas of all things. Am I going to have to tempt fate with Kraken...

Also the fact that Jon Cryer actually made a damn good Lex Luthor in my book...

What do you guys think about AONE.U ? I'm interested because they're taking a metal additive 3d printing firm public through acquisition and I think that's an area that will be doing good business over the next decade. But I have a mixed bag of feels about the SPAC because it involves the...

This guy has an interesting point. Not sure the it's perfect correlation/causation-wise. He mentions that there's a huge chinese bitcoin mining pool and every time they dump large volumes of BTC onto exchanges there's a temporary downward spike in prices. He mentions it at around 2:30 in this...

Yo Ho Ho! I'm in the same boat.... I just wait for each series to end so I can go "watch" it all at once, from a boat... .

As per "outlawing Bitcoin". Go look up how that played out for Nigeria. They tried that there. ;)

Which I suspect is in her long term goals.....
