I can read. I’m a millennial and I haven’t been scammed. Bitcoin is changing lives for the better and has allowed me and my family to join you in wealth but you seem to hate that.

I diversified 6mm into index funds and bond funds on Vanguard :)

No, you don’t arb on BTC/USDT. You arb on XXX/BTC and then convert BTC to USD regularly on GDAX.

by kindfellow92 9y ago
You don’t need to short BTC/USD you just need to be able to short. You can always convert to USD after your arbitrage gains in BTC, which I do and have done.

I’m worth 13 million dollars because of crypto and I’ve diversified half... tell me more about how Bitcoin is a scam. :)

You can also short on poloniex

Meh, it’s possible to challenge the status quo without being a dick. I think it’s more sincere to not be a dick.

Let’s be real, nobody wants to use Homebrew. It just fills a niche for a tool that’s missing on MacOS. People use homebrew because they search “apt-get yum for Mac” and it’s the first thing that pops up. In other words, the day that Apple b

Hehe maybe you’re right but it’s not self-aware to think that calling yourself a dick makes it okay. Instead he should just not be a dick.

Yeah after enough projects and jobs, I think the morale and productivity cost of having people with whom are difficult to work is too high. Jerks breed resentment and destroy the motivation of others. Companies are about large organized gro

Right, smooth vector fields aren’t actually physically realizable.

What does this even mean? BTC is a commodity, the government wins via taxes when people make gains. That’s like saying the government will never embrace stocks or real estate.

Bitcoin is new technology, the fact that its use cases are changing is evidence of that. That should be exciting, not disheartening. It would be a worse sign if it simply accomplished the goal it purportedly was intended for and nothing els

An argument could be made around you not being smart enough for C++ either if you are truly unable to write the equivalent program in Rust. Rust simply makes memory-correctness something the compiler can check. Correct C++ programs are the

My point is that “sophisticated abstractions” should reduce complexity, not increase it. If Tokio’s abstractions are seemingly increasing complexity, maybe they aren’t sophisticated abstractions. This is a criticism of the OP, not Tokio.

I think you’re comparing apples and oranges here. Writing memory safe code without Rust is harder than using Rust’s abstractions to do the same task. If you agree with that then my comment stands.

Parser(s)? As in more than one? Hopefully you’ll ever need to only write one parser (e.g. for Rust) but practically zero since regexs are a solved problem.

Sigh, compare the trends in the last 17 years to the trends in the previous 17 years and the 17-year periods prior to that. “Effectively dead” does not mean 0.0%

Those things are not related to inflation. Look at the CPI.

I see your point, theoretically majority miners could manipulate BTC supply. The major difference is that with fiat currency control of the money supply is centralized, while with Bitcoin it is distributed. In addition, at the point that mi

One day this will be true for Bitcoin, once it reaches a stable value.

Another consensus argument. There is more of a consensus around bitcoin than other cryptos and you can’t “invent” consensus either.
