   So, in San Fran, people break into cars and steal from stores, and they are not even arrested, but kids who are into electronics are being charged as the biggest criminals. It reminds me of the girl [0] who was into Chemistry and was charge

   I know. But althoguh I knew Cron and new about the acquisition, it wasn't obvious in my mind that this is only rebranding and nothing more.

   There's a an NPA NXX database. The carrier is encoded in the first 6 digits.

   Exactly! People hide high prices, not those at par with market!

   Omicron should've been called SARS-CoV-3 and the disease - COVID-22! Pirola, accordingly, SARS-CoV-4 and COVID-23!

    So, if wires are chaeper in EUR (thanks to SEPA), than even if I want to store my wealth in USD, I need to always sell USD for EUR just to do wires?! That's crazy! It's a patchwork an a scheme, not an alternative to fiat, gold, or

    I got similar issues even with Beeper proper.

    It's barely the best. The open-source version is extremely limited. The commercial offering seems expensive given they shy away from listing any pricing details.

    I was excited, but no web version, so, I rarely used it. Too bad all links I shared would probably die.

    It's the only exchange without a bad reputation, theft, inside trading, etc.

    If Bitcoin is a wealth store and I need to convert Bitcoin to USDC, let's say, just to make a payment, or if I get paid in USDC and have to convert it back to Bitcoin to store, then I still need to pay even more than just the Bitcoin f

    No, it will be crap if it's crypto-based!

    But it goes through a very serious filtering! From their website: > Slowly filtered drop by drop through the hills of Tuscany, Acqua Panna Natural Spring Water is a gift of nature, with a heritage dating back to 1564. It is a symbol of T

    Aqua Panna is underground spring water though: water kind of gets filtered.

    I keep buying Aqua Panna glass-bottled water but keep wondering how much water gets into the glass through plastic pipes! Also, it recently became evident that HDPE/LDPE jugs contain even more dangerous than BPA chemicals. Same with wa

    Same with the group downvoting of any negative article or opinion - it shows the true characters of the crypto maniacs! They "punish" anyone who gets in their way of becoming millionaires overnight!

    I pay for Coinbase One - more than I've ever paid to any bank for a year. And what's my benefit? Almost none, because I still have to pay the immense fees! In crypto, the margins are much wider than in any traditional financial se

    Is this why Coinbase does not support it?

    That's what it boils down to - Bitcoin is nothing it promised to be; it's like the equivalent of penny stocks... except that it's quite the opposite in terms if pricing.

    So, I have to go through a multitude of swaps, i.e losses, if Bitcoin is the real deal?! I've tried it, it's even more expensive than doing it directly!

    Mailing costs money, too; it's slow, and there's no proof that I've made the transfer. Plus, if that person wants to consolidate their funds, they will have to pay the crazy costs still, i.e. they will put it into their prici

    I do it every week. It's free (Zelle), or it's incredibly cheap. It has predictable cost and timeframe, too, unlike Bitcoin, with no customer service and no way to remediate errors and fraud! So, even if I pay to the banks, it cov

    Well, how about trying to move $200 in Bitcoin - it's the most expensive funds transfer. You cannot "move" $50 as it's cost-prohibitive!

    Nobody uses Bitcoin. It's not an alternative to fiat.
