    The halving has never been an event where the price immediately moons. Go look at some charts. Its a nothing event in the short term. Give it 6-18 months if history is an indicator of what to expect.

    Curious how folks that start at launch boxing feel about leveling the boxes. I'm considering going with a welfare warrior with druid box potentially. I'm super casual so not going to do a static. Is it going to be a pain to keep the two grouped the whole way or can I build my own groups to...

    Short version is I expect significant number-go-up over the next 1-1.5 years. The longer version is that we are, IMO, clearly in "this time its different" territory. ETFs have brought in an entirely different class of investor and we'll have to see how they handle the volatility that we're...

    Number goes up, and number goes down. /shrug I think pretty often people generate the narratives to explain market moves rather than the narrative moving the market. That being said the halving is coming up and since most people don't understand what it is perhaps the price is just being...

    BIP 39 is a separate layer of encryption. So if your seed is compromised the wallet generated would be empty as the hash from your passphrase is required to generate the correct keys. In other words so long as you dont compromise your seed it doesn't matter. If you do it will look empty even...

    HO's are a great idea but the execution wasn't very fun. I'm not sure how to improve it honestly but I love the idea of the group coordinating to exploit weaknesses or combo abilities. Its too bad they just abandoned the idea instead of figuring it out

    Historically when Bitcoin moves it moves fast. So you could see sideways chop for months then a 3x in a few days. The risk of trading in and out is that you can miss that couple of big days and make all of the trading a net loss over just holding. Personally I believe in number go up so I...

    Sure, maybe. I bet its not gunna be your favorite 💩coin though. Regardless I'm not really sure what your point is, I've never said that the value of these garbage coins won't go up, nor have I said that there will never be one that has value. My entire point is the current crop and...

    Ah, and now we've entered into the part where you decide that I'm clearly too stupid to understand how good your pet coin is. You're progressing well in your slide into 💩coining as expected. I look forward to your inevitable discovery of the coin that's going to change everything and make the...

    That's not even close to what I said. However I more or less agree with the rest of your post. The idea has value, I just don't believe any current iteration has value and I'm very pessimistic about anything in the near future. An NFT is just proof of ownership on chain. There is a very real...

    Video I posted had some quotes from the EQ2 discord from the devs. One of the answers was that MTX will be significantly reduced but will still be around. Stuff like the research system will be gone. We'll see what that means I guess.

    Tormax server seems lame. Teek is more or less exactly what most people wanted and still everyone complains lol. I would like it if they did the 1 normal + 1 random loot system instead of 2 random but its all good.

    Man... Are we about to start doing the digital land crap again? NFT as a concept could be useful, but not a single implementation to date has been useful. I'm not sure what the missing component is, but so far they've only served as yet another vehicle to rob fools of their money. If you...

    Looks like they're doing a completely separate code base for this. I suspect this is a test to see if they can pull it off in EQ... or they're going to announce something similar for EQ. Some extra details for the EQ2 server from the devs in discord here: Overall this is a pretty good sign...

    EQ2 producer letter released today, so it wouldn't shock me to get EQ this week too. EDIT: Prediction, they're going to announce one of the servers has its own separate codebase, so its going to be split from live (doing this with EQ2 TLE just announced). This would pave the way for EQ season...

    Every Bitcoin is subdivided into 100 million satoshis. So for a simple example $1,000,000 BTC would make each satoshi worth the same as $0.01. You can adjust the math for whatever BTC dollar value you would like. If needed you could also further subdivide into smaller amounts but as of right...

    Tate is right about a lot of stuff, Bitcoin is one of those things. He also made his fortune from scamming camgirls and taking advantage of lonely men. His new grift seems to be selling a program that teaches people how to take advantage of others the same way he did. He's a smart guy and...

    Well you're not alone there. ETH is what got me into this space. They have a good sales pitch on the surface. Do some research on the creation on Ethereum, the Ethereum foundation, the premine, and the ever changing narratives about what it is supposed to be. Ethereum development has created...

    BTC and the rest are entirely different. Bitcoin is 0 to 1, the rest are grifts off of that almost exclusively created to fleece naive investors. If you create a 'coin' from nothing, premine 70% of it (ETH) and sell it to 'investors' (70% of pre-mined ETH was sold for Bitcoin) that is not the...

    Take it another step. Same guys that make money out of thin air take half of your money to "build roads". If you can create money from nothing, why have taxes? Monetary system not backed by hard assets is immoral. That's probably another thread entirely though.

    My approach to this naive as it may be is to hold a lot of cash, because all of the debts I hold are denominated in USD, and then put the rest into what I consider the best inflation sensitive asset. There are plenty of legitimate arguments about what that may be, but its a winning strategy in...

    Its worth remembering that the last serious inflation event in the 70's corresponded with the last transfer of the world reserve currency (Gold backed dollar to petro-dollar). I believe the "Dollar Milkshake Theory" is just about the most likely outcome, in that while the USD will inflate...
