What people seem to have a hard time grasping isn't the concept NFT's, it's the concept of art. It's very easy to reproduce a painting that is visibly identical to a priceless Picasso and hang it on your wall. What makes the original Picasso so valuable is that 1. it is verifiably unique and...

One day we're all going to be found dead.

I actually think the social media comparison is pretty accurate. Keep in mind anytime I talk about this stuff I almost never talk about what I think is "good" vs. "bad." Stuff like that is more of a philosophical question and while I think it's really interesting I try not to let my personal...

I'm sure that's a factor too, no doubt. The two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. It doesn't change the equation. It doesn't matter if adoption comes via sincere belief or just by someone trying to ride a trend. If you are old enough to remember the evolution of how the "Internet" went...

Yeah 100%. I think governments getting involved in crypto was inevitable and necessary for mainstream adoption. Just like I think some regulation is necessary for mainstream adoption. The idea that there would be some populist driven BTC revolution that rendered government influence in...

What do you feel like it is warning you about?

Where is @Flobee This is bigger news than El Sal tbh

When it gets on a major exchange you'll already have missed the best time to buy. As much as I don't feel like learning how to do the swap thing and pay gas fees it's probably worth it.

Yeah for sure ETH has gone up way more. True has been pretty flat for the last 6 months. But I'm looking long term. True is still very new and under the radar which = the best time to buy (assuming you think it's going to take off). It's a much better candidate for a 1000x than ETH. Reading...

I've never purchased something I've needed to swap to get. Did you guys just buy ETH, xfer to a metamask wallet, then use Uni to swap for Tru?

You guys out of Tru? I never messed with it, but since James was right about Shib...

Did we ever determine if James is the Shib billionaire and that's why he disappeared? Edit: For the record, I know he was into Shib at the beginning of the year because I had a conversation with him about it.

Looking like this was actually a really good scam. You could buy squid but once you bought it you realized you couldn't sell it. They had some complicated explanation like you had to buy "marbles" with the squid, you couldn't just sell it outright. Either way, the result of everyone being...

Yep, I've stopped buying crypto for the time being because Binance is so awful (and it's pretty much the best option for US people who don't want to use VPN workaround stuff). I'll be honest, as shitty as RH is, once they start allowing you to xfer your crypto off their system (which is...

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.

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.

MATIC :emoji_fire:

Brief? It's just started...

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...

Holding through market cycles is how you make real money with crypto. Ask the guys holding from 2017.

Just don't get priced out.

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.

Care to elaborate?

Information intuitional investors have to which you and I aren't privy.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/09/22/robinhood-to-launch-cryptocurrency-wallets-as-bitcoin-becomes-bigger-part-of-business.html Fuck RH and all that, but this would be game-changing.

Why on earth would you want to buy SHIB?

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.

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...

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.

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...

Not too many people there are happy about it, unfortunately. https://www.reuters.com/technology/majority-salvadorans-do-not-want-bitcoin-poll-shows-2021-09-02/

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.

Yeah VET had a big volume spike right about the same time I think. Not really sure of the cause.

Anyone sell their MATIC?

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...
