This is a good idea. I use a catch-all domain for receiving mail. I never thought to set up DMARC & SPF until I received an email from a scammer attempting to impersonate the domain, but not any of the names I've used. I wonder als

This is a common theme for BIS. I may do an analysis on the their studies. I suspect they overwhelmingly express a negative sentiment for Bitcoin and DeFi, and have questionable methodology like you describe. I notice they like to get their

> You could have already realized losses on Bitcoin You could have already realized profits on Bitcoin. That's the parent commenter's point. It works both ways. The "study" only confirms the reader's bias.

Who are you referring to? Are bitcoin buyers required to buy as much as they ever want at one time, and never sell? Or can they buy at lower prices, and sell at higher prices from the point you referenced?

I think the confusion is that they believe the token that is staked is a sunk cost, the same way a business would spend the money from a loan. Like you said, the token will be returned when unstaked. If I take a loan out to buy and run a pi

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic… In the case of FTX: fraud. They were giving people a useless token for tokens that had value elsewhere. With Binance, you could make the case you own equity in the exchange, but that could ha

Your use of the phrase "crypto bros" and stereotypical generalization suggest you have an agenda. You are not looking to have a "curious conversation" as the HN guidelines encourage.

No, you should not. It's an exchange token. It's meant to be used as collateral for your trading, instead of USD, BTC, etc. It incentivizes this by giving you reduced exchange fees based on how much FTT you own.
