And yes you must still trust Coinomi, Apple, TSMC, certificate signing entities, etc.. To be totally sure you could do all the math on a piece of paper and send crypto to the public key you generated by hand.

Step 6: unless you reviewed the source code, there’s no telling the key it generates is not compromised. A wallet like Coinomi on an iPhone is a secure enough platform to keep your crypto on.

I can play semantics too. Like you're not really 'investing' when you buy a stock, you just bought a share from someone else. Your hurr crypto bad because NFTs and 3AC is basic association fallacy. The problem is the dollar w

Not sure what you're point is, USDT has kept it's peg to the dollar despite the fud you eat up.

You say it's not trusted and yet the most volume in crypto (around 46 billion) is being traded every day it. Are you sure you're not just in your own thought bubble?

Just as companies like Celsius offered a high interest rate on Bitcoin, and lots of people moved their money into Bitcoin; the government can do the same by changing interest rates which incentivize people to move their money to/from d

Wrong - Savings accounts, treasury bills, and CDs are all ways to invest dollars and make returns in kind. The dollar itself though will not appreciate, it will continue to deflate due to unstoppable money printing. Bitcoin doesn't hav

It's pretty simple, all the Bitcoin 'manipulation' you see is simply buying/selling open market coins. Not selling massive quantities of newly minted coins. The government on the other and has minted and spent trillions

The government can short term manipulate the dollar and as a result the dollar value of various assets. That's what causes the short term volatility. Long term though the value of assets resistant to manipulation will go up, while the

I guess it works both ways, people panic sell and panic buy. Neither are smart moves.

by trixie_ 4y ago
I'm not upset either. The dollar is a stable because of manipulation though unfortunately over the long term it does lose value. The cost of stability. Crypto on the other hand I do expect to go up over the long term while being short

Calm down the market isn’t crashing.

by trixie_ 4y ago
There are many theories about everything. Sorry the ones you bought into didn’t work out. Most of us aren’t surprised that when the dollar is manipulated that other asset classes’ dollar values change as well.

Like stocks, don't confuse short term volatility with long term performance. The fed is expert at manipulating short term valuations, but their manipulations only hold for so long before they have to lower or raise rates again.

by trixie_ 4y ago
For every seller there is a buyer, and many are buying stocks and crypto right now at low prices. And why wouldn't they? The fed is manipulating the market with interest rates, just as they did during Corona. History proves in the lon

Which one is it? I'd love to compare.

Really? Because autopilot works pretty well for me already. I have it on way more than I have it off. Long roads with lots of stop lights, and 6 hour drives no longer bother me.

PE of 90 and 2 new factories only starting to ramp up it. It makes perfect sense.

Most realize it doesn't matter who founded it. Elon is the reason it is successful.

Same here and with many friends. It goes from time slowing down, to a few years of fun times, then anxiety, at which point many people stop doing it. Though I've seen people keep going and develop full scale paranoia, thinking that eve

A lot of people have the exact same story. First few times, time slows down. Next few years it's a good time, then after that you have a good chance of developing an anxiety disorder from weed. At that point people usually stop doing i

If there were a cost for pumping pollution into the atmosphere required to generate electricity then that cost would be passed on to you the consumer and then it might be 'cost-efficient' to install solar. Like I said, the problem

by trixie_ 4y ago
It's amazing how even today most rooftops don't have solar panels. We have the technology and resources to solve our energy problems, the only thing missing is the policy.

Because no one has created a good enough one yet. Maybe you can. I am in desperate need for something like that and often just write diagrams on a piece of paper for code paths I am trying to understand or debug. Many things were just ideas

Very interested in this. You may or may not know many stable coin investment platforms just went bust. There are a lot of people out there including myself holding legit USDC and GUSD that want to put their money somewhere to get a stable r

Electric cars are absolutely the solution. No one wants to live in your slow mass transit fantasy world. On the other hand we have no problem installing solar/battery systems to charge our own vehicles. Invest in that, drive down price

Yea a lot of the inflation increases across the board are pretty easily attributed to depegging the dollar from $35 an ounce. If that never happened then you could still buy an ounce of gold today for $35 instead of $2,000. The dollar has l

Yes the attack was a loophole in the algorithm not the blockchain itself.

UST, a stable coin not even pretending to be backed by the very thing it was pegged to fails. Unlike USDT, USDC or GUSD, there was a documented plan of attack to take UST down 6 months ago, someone just raised enough capitol to execute it.
