No, ETF liquidity works the same as USDT. If you hold USDT you can easily sell it for USDC and redeem that to cash through Coinbase. USDT has liquidity against the dollar and large market makers arbitrage that with their ability to mint and

Do you mean nodes? Validators already get rewards (and miners don’t exist anymore)

Bitcoiners often call BTC 'Sound Money' - ultrasound money is a play on that to highlight that Ethereum simply has better economics after the merge

I'm an engineer in the Blockchain space. High level, I think it's one of the most exciting areas to work in right now. 90% of dapps aren't really valuable but the rest make up for it. If you're interested in chatting abo

Most of the content I consume is produced for free without any expectation of payment. My friends don't get paid for posting pictures on Instagram. However, Meta still sees the need to inject an ad between every two posts and greedily

The article mentioned Edge Wallet and Messari, those are very professional and ethical companies. I’m sure they can find other legitimate mail providers, but it’s a shame that Mailchimp decided to blanket-ban a whole industry.

The first email spam was sent in 1978[1], if that’s something you count. Interestingly, Hashcash, the first proof-of-work system, was actually invented to stop email spam. This is a loaded question, anyway. Most technologies will eventually

What do you mean no form of recourse? I can’t imagine Amazon would deny you a refund in that situation.

If you’re relying on an honor system .txt file to preserve your privacy I think that says enough already. It’s not like they’re infiltrating password-protected links or private iCloud accounts.

I'm not saying that all digital goods will be traded on blockchains, just that they could be, so they fall under the Total Addressable Market (not an uncommon acronym among yc folk at least). Likewise, in-game items and other digital

Let’s forget any bridges to physical assets for a minute; cryptocurrencies, or more broadly scarce digital assets, have an unfathomably large TAM. More and more of our lives are being spent online instead of dealing with real world assets,

This pretty much already exists, it’s called Cloudflare Browser Isolation. They basically render your browser on a remote server and pipe you the visual data.

Axie Infinity exploded in popularity overnight. They likely built their infrastructure when they were securing $1M in digital assets and then suddenly found themselves controlling half a billion before they could upgrade their security. Tha

Another anecdote: I am using ferrous bisglycinate instead of ferrous gluconate (Floradix) - it is even easier to take and absorbs well. I find it ridiculous that doctors still prescribe ferrous sulfate when these exist.

Some years ago I was selling an expensive aquarium on Craigslist, a scammer ‘paid’ me with a fake PayPal payment before asking to come pick it up. So I convinced him that I was the manager of a Red Lobster restaurant and it was an old lobst

I had a similar thing happen to me in Belize. I left a bag with my $2k DSLR on a park bench and didn’t realize it until hours later. I went back and talked to a couple of the groundskeepers, someone had turned it in and they had it waiting

Consistently I’m unable to use Tailscale on a GCP instance and also use GCP services cleanly, because it messes with the DNS route to the metadata server. Otherwise, it’s a great product.

Have they? It looks like Azure, AWS, and CloudFlare still have their blockchain services, and Google still maintains Ethereum-ETL. GCP made a big push into the space earlier this year with a dedicated team (but not much has come of that yet
