>You have probably the cheapest insurance in the US. I don't think so, it's just a cheap car. It is well above state minimums (I think minimums are 25k/50k and it's 100k/300k). It includes comprehensive coverage

My car is old but reliable. KBB says it's worth about $2,500 with 140k miles on it. It's made by Toyota and the total cost of repairs in the 60k miles I've owned it is has been less than $300 (alternator, battery, a belt, and

You would commit your guess in a block prior to the random bits being determined. This is actually a popular scheme used by a lot of 'provably fair' gambling sites/smart contracts.

You can just use the last x bits of hashes for the last y blocks to generate a random number.

Eh I don't think it's a ponzi scheme, I'm just defending that it does have an important property in common: new participants pay for old ones.

Those assets only produce income because of the current working population. This isn't strictly required of course, but it has been the case for a long time and is likely to remain mostly true for the foreseeable future.

From my understanding there are a couple things that probably make this a non-issue: 1) Worst case scenario, it only allow you to read the memory of systems running validator nodes. There aren't very many of these (tens of thousands pe

Google and Facebook are large and rich enough to replace the ISPs if they felt they needed to. They've both dabbled in this area and would surely turn it into a serious effort if their core business was threatened. They just haven&#x27

Right now 1 BTC on Gemini (the reference exchange for CBOE Bitcoin futures) is $16,600 and the futures price is $17,800 for a 1 or 2 month contract. Since the risk free rate is about 0.125% monthly and this spread is 7.2%, it looks like the

Interactive Brokers is providing access to the CBOE futures to retail investors. Appears to be long positions only at the moment with high margin requirements, but it's something. Many of the other large retail brokerages said they wou

The markets are not as independent as they might seem. If the futures market gets ahead or behind of the other BTC markets, it creates opportunities for arbitragers to profit from the difference which has the effect of reducing the gap. It

Scaling is definitely a serious concern and is a large focus of Ethereum developers at the moment. I don't understand much about the proposed solutions, but they generally think the Ethereum network can be sharded in a way that allows

When they say stored 'online' they mean 'not in cold storage'. 98% (according to that article) of the crypto held by Coinbase is in cold storage and is not insured.

Selling is reasonable, but so is just withdrawing and taking the BCC, especially if you want to defer taxes. Coinbase won't let you sell the BCC directly, but you'll be able to exchange the BCC for BTC on many other exchanges quic

It's hard to predict what the market is going to do on August 1st, but Bitcoin is splitting and it's reasonable to assume some of the value will go to BCC and some will go to the new BTC (or the old BTC depending on how you look a

Acquisitions are a capital asset and do not offset your tax liability. If a corporation earns $100 million and buys another company for $60 million, they still owe taxes on the full $100 million.

Of course not, but that's true of every asset. Apple would drop from $790 Billion in market cap to a tiny fraction of that if shareholders started trying to sell their shares enmasse.

Well that's always the risk with shorting I suppose, I just meant as safe as shorting can reasonably be :) Thanks for the Poloniex tip though, looking into it now!

That's a fair point, $30B is certainly not sufficient to disprove nonsense. However, I think it does raise the bar somewhat for the amount of evidence needed to claim nonsense.

There is $30+ billion currently invested in cryptocurrencies. While the masses may still not know very much about it, I think we're beyond the point where any individual educated in how they work can reasonably call it nonsense.

Is there a reasonably safe/reliable/cheap way to short Gnosis? I'm guessing not, because there's a pretty easy $10-20 million to be made here and some hedge fund probably would have done it already if possible. I wonder

It hasn't been cut to $100 million, the current market cap using the total supply (which is absolutely the number that should be used) is $958 million. Coinmarketcap (and others) is falsely claiming it to be $105 million, and that&#x27
