Beware a lot of shady employment practices going on in the low-wage sector of NZ, always people getting busted for paying lower than min wage to foreigners. I've personally never seen a kiwi working at either Subway in my city, and i g

In 2020-1 we've seen people making 100%+ returns on ridiculous investments everywhere, so i can see how certain people are falling for to-good-to-be-true schemes.

> Does anyone know of any casino-gaming companies innovating in this space like tech? Cryptocurrency exchanges are the new casinos, and to some extent apps like robin-hood.

I think 'Trust the soyence bro' and labeling anything negative about vaccines a conspiracy theory is probably what convinces people on the fence to become anti vaxxers.

This is also prevalent on those very scripted SNL-type 'comedy' channels that always make it to the front page, or vaccine safety videos (YouTube keeps showing me these videos of black people taking/administering vaccines in

Fake astroturfing can be pretty effective, IIRC a tech bro had a bunch of fake Russian twitter accounts follow a republican candidate which generated significant fake news about this candidate being helped by Russia.

Transfers in and out would cause huge source-of-funds type compliance issues and fraud problems, as well as support tickets from users setting the wrong fees and getting scammed. They would've bought something like Bitpay long ago if p

So in addition to fleecing me on USD -> AUD with a rip-off exchange rate, they're adding an extra step for users of their fake BTC as well. But really multiple steps because you have to actually buy the fake BTC through PP first. Th

A store of value is meant to be weak compared to risk assets, not up or down 20% in a day.

As someone who lost $5m ether in a boating accident, being able to sell a random jpg to an anonymous entity for $5m ether has been a life saver.

My take is that needing on/offramps proves crypto (and coinbase) is nothing but a huge casino at this point. I've been involved for 7 years and i still can't spend my crpto directly or without some serious gymnastics involved

You can redeem stable-coins like True USD or PAX to a US bank account after passing KYC, with 1 token=1 USD. You can redeem up to 60k/day on PAXOS for a $20 flat fee per redemption, on tier 1 KYC. It also works the other way, so they a

The only promise of bisq is to be woken up at 6am one day with police kicking down your door. That's where criminals go to offload their non-privacy coins for Monero and to drain grandma's bank account.

Presumably you'd have a healthcare plan of some sort, one which politicians have mandated over the years to cover practically everything. You might also keep some savings for this thanks to the fear mongering on MSM, whereas it would b

Gotta be rewarded for your crypto price-boosting tweets somehow. Directly buying and selling btc would be too obvious, just get some anonymous entity to do it for you, then pay you via your silly blockchain artworks.

Just market it as a billionaire tax to get support, then actually tax the middle class. Works every time, and looks like they're doing this right now.

I'm pretty sure it's primarily poor people buying into crypto, not tech workers. Go to r/cryptocurrency and read the posts, does it look like HN (primarily tech people)? are there any technical discussions, or is it just full

This must be the 4th time ive seen this app linked here and every time i go to use it THERE IS NO WORKING PRODUCT THAT I CAN USE. Also the hipster tone from the founder of this app makes me cringe every time because it seems very forced.

But that 49% is constantly being victimized by big tech. Politics aside, there's money to be made targeting products to this group. (For a company with competent devs ofc, don't need another Parler disaster.)

My experience on mobile is that after viewing a subreddit a number of times on chrome it just blocks you and forces you to download the app to view any posts at all. This can be bypassed by using old.reddit.com url.

I feel like they could take an anti-censorship, pro-privacy stance and target the 49% that is being de-platformed. Could partner with the Ben Shapirbros of YT getting millions of followers to download Firefox to avoid 'socialist google

Smart people don't use force to get paid. They usually obtain a pay rise through offering a better product,not through extortion scams (public sector workers striking).

Are you sure you didn't use bitaddress.org? that was the popular one IIRC and my funds are still safe after using that.

A 145m sell just sent BTC down 13k. It's not so easy to just sell your ~30b worth of buttcoin. If anything it's shocking that "we checked and it's all fraud" is seen as a win for crypto.

Last time i checked you need a specific gene for your testosterone and dihydro-testosterone to cause baldness. So a full-head could have higher T levels and more hair. Balding MTF transgenders do often regain significant ground once they de

Network effects. If you're a darkweb seller you know most people want to send BTC they purchased straight from a KYC'd exchange, this is preferable as any extra friction is bad for business. You would lose 70% of your customers if
