The key feature of coinbase and gemini is of course that they are following all the regs and are the most trustworthy exchanges out there. The people who want 150x leverage on a shady exchange are not the same customers. I would fathom that

Yeah that is pretty disgusting. By doing this, it steals a label with a 'fairly' clear meaning, agenda, and history to prop up any old complaint. This is beyond disingenuous and actually will end up causing more harm to LGBT issue

This is a really spot on take on this moment in time. I also wrote a bot circa 2016/2017 [1] and the constant exchange error handling killed any profit I would eek out of the arbitrage. I was only doing this part time while a student s

But that is a really overblown and damaging worry. This study gives us actual facts that we probably need to treat men and women differently to help them both out better in dealing with pain. We need more studies which look at gender differ

It is worth pointing out that the study discussed here was done in 2015, prior to the change. Hopefully the NIH change will get more researchers out of their standard patterns though.

To consume $100k a month we need a $10-20 million dollar mortgage (50-100k/mo depending on years and rate). I have to assume a few cars, dining, etc would probably end up being $10-20k/mo so the mortgage is probably around $15 mil

Which won't happen since the 'cost' of mining is electricity and hardware costs which for some miners is probably very close to zero. All this is going to do is shuffle out the miners who have no efficiency.
