Maybe I'm not getting what you are saying, but in most cases the map remains dark until the players explore it, so the GM creating a map doesn't mean the PCs know where anything is. You also have several options with how you want to handle parts of the map the PCs have already explored and...

You don't know wtf you are talking about. Ransomware existed before crypto. Do some research.

Hey, lots of Boomers would agree with him.

Buying before the regularly scheduled Friday dip. Ballsy.

Yeah, I mean every investment is a risk and nothing is guaranteed. The conversation we were having had to do with how profitable of an asset Bitcoin had been as a long-term investment to this point. And the answer is extremely profitable. Who knows what might happen in the future? That said...

Right. When that happens you don't sell. You just wait a little while until it goes back up 300% or 800% in a few months or a year and then you sell. Or better yet, you hold it five years until it goes up %16000 and then sell. There are lots of issues/concerns with crypto, but long-term...

I don't know wtf you guys are talking about. BTC is one of the best performing assets you can possibly buy if you are long. It's up roughly 275% in the last year and it's up almost 5000% in the last 5 years. ETH is up more than 800% in the last year and 16,000%(!) in the last 5 years. The...

It's better if you put him on 1.75x speed.

For those hodling MATIC: https://cryptopotato.com/polygon-to-launch-an-all-purpose-blockchain-dubbed-avail/ I'm becoming less and less concerned about the effects of ETH 2.0 on MATIC's value.

I don't have any channels lol. Stream everything. Streaming sites apparently hate euro football /sigh

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be a dick. Just tired of the conspiracy theory train.

It's not that it "could be" a coincidence. That's the sort of framing that stokes the fires of crackpot conspiracy theories. It IS a coincidence until there is even a shred of evidence otherwise. Also, if you want to use the Miami building collapse as fodder for BTC conspiracy theories, keep...

Just so I'm clear, you are suggesting that somebody, or some government, presumably the United States government, arranged a building collapse that killed 100 people in Miami in order to send a message to Paraguay about adopting Bitcoin?

Ironically Guy just dropped a PoW vs. PoS vid today.

Shot in the dark: anyone have a streaming site for these games?

A boy asked his dad for a Bitcoin for his birthday. Dad: What?! $32,564??? $28,766 is a lot of money! What do you need $35,980 for anyway?

Yeah, I'm sure that's why they added the extra "i"

Liink (yes, I know, it's a dumb name)

Not shitting on good news for crypto- because I believe it is good news- but it's just El Salvador. The mayor of Miami likes crypto too, and Miami has ten times the GDP of El Salvador...

From what I can tell: JPM "Liink" is the payment infrastructure/payment settlement system that "links" banks to the same network JPM "Onxy" is what JPM's proprietary blockchain is called JPM "Coin" is JPM's proprietary crypto currency. Worth noting, it's a stablecoin, pegged to the USD I also...

Oh, I'd be really surprised if they tried to put any kind of limitations on febucks that weren't already on the dollar. I'm sure you could buy anything with a fedbuck you could buy with a dollar- which means you could buy crypto with fedbucks. I do think you raise a really interesting point...

This looks... extremely bullish for crypto.

If it doesn't trip at all, that means BTC is on the way back up and all my holdings are going up with it. Kind of a win-win either way.

Matic is the first one I mentioned and VET is the second.

One of the two alts I have has an extremely strong use case and I'm not really worried about it surviving. The other I have theoretically has a very strong use case, but I'm a little less confident about it surviving a crypto winter.

BTC and ETH aren't going anywhere and holding them long will eventually get you back in the green, even if we are descending into a crypto bear winter. You can get killed on alt coins during a crypto winter though. Dozens and dozens of popular alts during the last crypto bull run disappeared...

It's below 2k right now...

I can't code for shit, unfortunately, but I'm sure there are youtubes out there that might cover how to do that kind of thing in Foundry.

Yeah, I watched the vid Dashel posted earlier and it looks pretty great. I'm going to give it a shot I think. One question though: I designed my own system and I'm playtesting it with a group. Roll20 has enough flexibility that I can use a custom system with it, but is Foundry the same way...

Man, you guys are really not getting the difference between subjective and objective :emoji_laughing: It's ok, I'm too fucking hung over to keep arguing semantics. Ok last try: Pretend there are 3 apples on a table. The VALUE of those apples is SUBJECTIVE because the determination of how...

Nah, you're missing the point. If you look up the difference between "subjective" and "objective" you'll see why something like "value" is subjective 100% of the time, regardless of what scenario you want to use.

Perhaps I'm the only person on earth. Or perhaps I think I'm the only person on earth because I'm on an island and there are no other people present. There are no options to barter and I can't eat or use the apple in any other useful way. The apple has no value to me. If you want to argue it...

If I'm allergic to apples and it would kill me to eat it, I'd say it has zero value to me. Unless I wanted to commit suicide by anaphylactic shock- which seems like a shitty way to go. Either way, it's still subjective. Value is always subjective because it relies on the presence of a...

Well, I'm using @Sanrith Descartes definition of "intrinsic value" for the sake of this conversation, but for the record ALL value is subjective.

Even if you want to try and separate crypto coins from the tech (which you really can't), crypto would still have intrinsic value because the coins are backed by the tech, which, as you have acknowledged, has value.

In this case, and in most use cases, the coins and the tech are inseparable.

There are several examples but I'll give you one: the VET blockchain is being used for data collection, verification, storage, and tracking for MyBaby, a blockchain-based service app for In-Vetro fertilization (IVF) in China.

Some crypto has intrinsic value, albeit relatively low intrinsic value right now. But anyone with sense can see the potential for a future where crypto has very great intrinsic value, which is part of what drives demand for coins that aren't BTC. Crypto has value above and beyond a simple...

How are you liking Foundry? Im on roll20 but was considered switching.
