CoinDesk insists that dumping a mountain of ETH is good news for the price.
Aw dawg I have no background in finance or economics and even I know that this isn’t how it works, unless you’re in a bubble
I think we’ll finally find the stable market price of BTC now that the ETF is here. Maybe people will actually use it as a currency now.
really feeling that squeeze, huh? how many have you got to sell?
I have no stake in BTC, I just have GRLC
Hah, look at this guy assuming you’re invested in the most overinflated primitive buttcoin! Actually you hold some obscure shitcoin that’s way better. You sure showed these haters.
what a sophisticated investor you are, with your stake in something called fucking Garlicoin, whose chart looks like a series of pump and dumps fueled by problem gamblers
like fuck, can you imagine explaining to your family that you lost money gambling on something called Garlicoin? no wonder you go with the fake stock ticker sounding name and pretend it’s an investment
It’s also hilarious how sharp those value shifts are - super totes legit “trading activity” and not at all something hyper-exposed to controlling influences
(But seriously, it looks like a drunk PWM signal, wtf)
Bro, you’re wasting your time with criticism, the garlic flavor is too strong for me to let go. Also garlic grows in the ground, so I got it all for free.
Here’s a nickle kid 🪙, go buy yourself a real sense of humor.
Paying 5 dollars per transaction (more if it actually does see an increased use as currency) seems like a bad deal for most transactions outside of large international payments, and even then there’s the hassle of conversion to a locally usable currency.
monero is the answer to this. Divisible into smaller parts and the fees cant go stupid high because of a dynamic block size. Fees are <=USD$0.01 per transfer and its being used as money not just for speculation.
It’s used for actual payments because it’s shamelessly crime friendly even by crypto standards, not because it has better block size handling.
This is why it’s being increasingly blacklisted by exchanges facing regulatory pressure, which I would assume is why it’s supposedly not speculated on that much.
Actually, that is a pretty good endorsement because if it can be used to commit crime, then that means that it remains private, which is why the government wants it off of exchanges so people can’t easily get it. If they wanted to prevent crime, they would outlaw the US dollar first.
Facilitating ransomware is good actually, is quite the take. But yeah this is a ‘we dislike all cryptocurrencies’ zone.
Lol. I don’t particularly like ransomware, but I am willing to deal with it to have privacy. Because the privacy to run ransomware gives regular people the privacy to do what they want to do that’s perfectly legal. Take an extreme example. Forks should be banned because you can stab people with them. Maybe five people die per year of being stabbed by forks, but hundreds of millions of people eat with them and never stab anybody, so they should all be banned.
Oh please do tell us more about all the legal activity you’re getting up to! What kinds of things are you buying?
I’m already missing r/bitcoins usertags. You certainly deserve one.
Bonus of no longer being on reddit, when weird people get banned they no longer can DM me personally because they confused me for being a reasonable person open to hearing more.
Except with crapto the proportion is the other way round, thousands of people use them to commit crimes but only tens of people use them legitimately.
So banning forks is a dumb thing, banning crapto is a boon to humanity.
i, knowing the effects of ransomware on various institutions, am willing to deal with people who are willing to deal with it (on other people’s systems) by kicking said people in the face. i hope you don’t mind, nothing personal, really, just a policy matter.
Forks should be banned because you can stab people with them
That’s why you put a cork on the end of the fork, for safety. Rubrect put a cork on fork, may I got to the bathroom? [short YouTube link]
