> - USDC on Binance is not 1:1 backed by USDC, but by another stable coin such as BUSD or perhaps even USDT. Both of them are much harder to convert into real dollars! This is not true in any way. First, you do not hold USDC on Binance,

They are not a custody service, they are an exchange. They are not obliged to hold USDC, if all customers have their assets in BUSD due to the conversions that happened. Are you expecting Binance to have 1:1 BUSD on hand, in addition to hol

I honestly expected more from the HN crowd. The comments here are disturbingly inaccurate and fear mongering. For those of you that don't want to sift through the BS and just get the gist (from someone deep in this space): - Binance su

Pretty much everyone in crypto has done business with Alameda. That doesn't automatically make them insolvent.

Whats your point here, exactly?

by crypt1d 4y ago
While your concerns may have some merit, your take here is a bit lazy. There are certainly some things about tether that could be done better, but it is far from the picture you are trying to paint here. They've been in the business si

I'm all in fiat right now, and will stay like that until things calm down a bit.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if they siphoned off the money by being on the other side of those trades via different entities...

Luna was quite bad, but it was pretty straight-forward path to death that everyone saw from a mile away. Not many people predicted that FTX and SBF will fall from grace within a timespan of 48hrs. The whole thing is also so full of scandals

This last week has been a rollercoaster. I've been in crypto since a long time ago and have seen quite a bit, but this FTX implosion takes the crown. And to be honest, I don't think its over.

Everyone's confidence is shook, so I expect a lot projects will be delayed due to lack of funding/interest, and volume will dry up significantly in the coming weeks/months. NFT market was never particularly liquid to begin wi

Correct. I've been in this world so long I forget 'normal people' don't really know all the acronyms :) more rumours are surfacing, including Yuga Labs (biggest name in the NFT space), Jump Crypto, Paradigm... this is ba

Its hard to tell, but looks like the fall out is far from over. There are a lot of rumours running around so unsure what is true and what is not, but we've gotten confirmations from a lot of crypto companies to be affected one way or a

Title is slightly misleading, as the linked website also includes data from European countries which are not in the EU (ie, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bosnia, etc).

Let's not mistake Coinbase's ability to execute for a lack of user interest. If anything, Coinbase has plenty of failed projects under their belt (and while they are certainly popular in the US, they are not the 'biggest play

A big fan and a regular user of rsync.net here. I've used their borg offering on a number of occasions for myself and companies I worked with. I highly recommend them for their pricing and excellent support. https://www.rsyn

I'd love to go back to Delphi and play with it again as I did back in the day, but the price tag kills the mood pretty quickly.

How about a C) You work for a company that is trying to solve climate change, and at the same time in your personal life focus on decreasing your carbon footprint? There is no reason why one cannot do both, if they want to. You'd think

Anything negative crypto-related ends up on front page of HN. It used to bother me a bit but its become quite amusing to observe. Honestly its a meme at this point.

I'd be happy to pay for it out of pocket, but it seems like aepsy is German only? I'm afraid that wont work for me, but perhaps someone else here finds it valuable. thank you

Slightly off-topic, but since a lot of people here mention therapy: I'm curious if there any recommendations / advices regarding online therapy? Would you recommend any website or anyone in particular? I have been thinking about g

Love the idea, hate the website. Something about these 'clever' console animations in a web browser seriously puts me off. We spent last 40 years moving away from consoles only to be sucked into fakes ones via this retro design ap

Exactly. This is quite common and is done all the time for remote workers, myself included. The hiring company cannot treat you as a regular employee though (you are essentially a contractor), so you may have less 'rights' than a

Seems like lots of IT folks have fond memories of the T420/T430 (and X220) era. I personally think it was the golden age of the Thinkpad line, going back perhaps to T40/T42, it was some of the best laptops I ever worked on. No oth

Depends on the business. Are you B2B or B2C? How many sales/invoices in crypto are you expecting, per month? If we are talking about just a few sales, I'd recommend something like https://request.network/en/in

I agree. There are already some insurance protocols in place - see Cover Protocol or Unslashed Finance. Its still very early in this space, but things are definitely developing!
