Transferring money through banks is such a pain in the ass versus crypto. It really feels like we’re at a tipping point where ACH and wire transfers become the equivalent of writing a check.

Missile subs are probably the most dangerous weapon in the world. Each can carry 200 independently targetable nuclear warheads with a 4,000 mile range.

It happens when you have a lot of new people who refuse to work with legacy code (which is anything over 2 years old), trivialize the complexity of the existing system (because they don’t understand a tenth of what it does), go create a sub

Yes, thank you. Case in point, this is how you are looked upon by the community as a developer of open source windows software.

How could he? In 2012 Bitcoin was very niche and everyone was still very skeptical about it.

People who write open source windows software are looked down upon. Your typical hacker especially in the 90s/00s - Microsoft was the evil empire.

For him an encryption/programming expert it might of been. There were posts back in 2005 about how to design a 'bit gold' and he was already jumping through hoops to launder money to gold bars through hong kong with all kinds

La Roux has been in custody since Satoshi disappeared.

My money is on Paul Le Roux.. most hackers are too uppity to write windows software. Le Roux was a pragmatist with a real practical need to move dirty money without banks.

A good portion of the United States is against any sort of identification system in general. It’s why voting is so complicated. Some kind open income system in unfathomable to the vast majority of Americans.

It’s probably some hacker who wrote open source windows encryption software who had a real need to transfer money internationally outside of traditional banks. But what do I know.

The benefit of crypto is being able to move large amounts of money around quickly and easily. As well as protection of what you’re holding being diluted by central bank. Does it replace fiat currency? No, and it shouldn’t. Diversify.

Did you read your link because it says nothing about high fees due to cartels or kyc or anything else. In fact it say big old banks are the most expensive while new internet services are the cheapest. Remittance is already paid for with cry

I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with cartels and everything to do with an incredibly complex banking infrastructure running mostly on fortran and cobol.

All I know is that I actually feel in control of my money with crypto and can easily move it around the world. ACH and wire transfers are painful in comparison.

Price gouging especially in a system with transparent pricing is not difficult to prevent with laws. This is really is the ideal place for government in healthcare. Make the laws, set the standards, level the playing field and let the free

I'm not a fan of the guy, but this is probably the most important/good thing he did with his presidency. Price transparency is the most fundamental first step to driving down health care costs. Once people get a taste of it, it wi

What’s your answer to splitting yourself in half, replacing the missing half with new material. Which one are you, are you conscious of both, or what?

We need to be more aware that there are many submarines in the ocean with 200 long range nuclear warheads each. One sub can pretty much hit every city within a 4,000 mile radius. It’s a terrifying constant threat that the vast majority of p

I think there is a market for lending crypto but it is harder to do. There is no fed to loan coins from. And no fed to create coins from thin air. They must come from deposits. There is no fed to set base interest rates. The rates are based

The 5% and greater savings rates for crypto and stable coins right now are pretty hard to resist. Crypto lending is also huge allowing people to make secured loans against their invested crypto. This plus the unparalleled ease of moving lar

Be as young as possible. Know the latest tools and tech. Make sure to point out anything older than 3 years as legacy and should be rewritten. Also know REST and claim anyone who implements it doesn’t actually know REST. But then again Grap

Yep, this is how it goes to zero. Hopefully not, but if it did, a fundamental flaw that invalidated the blockchain would probably be the reason. Diversify!

Huge difference between a random fire and a fire during testing. As proven by most of the comments in this thread, people think it was a random fire. That’s how editors and journalists control public opinion.

by trixie_ 5y ago
‘Journalists’ burying the fact that it happened during testing proves they have ulterior motives.

The fire happened during testing. Incredibly misleading journalism.
