   Is the rest RSUs? Only a select few that work for big publicly traded companies get to benefit from those...

   Turbotax sucks ass unless you have a simple situation with a w2 and maybe a couple of 1099s, beyond that it's a nightmare to use (for me).

   I don't disagree with you, but also I'm not sure I have issue with this new paradigm.

   Not everything NFT related is speculative. Use cases include things like gaming as well. Also, the majority of NFT sales are not these insane sums. A lot are happening in the $10-$200 range and it's a way for people with money to spend

   Hard work over time never really guaranteed success to begin with. Luck has always been a factor on top of that hard work. Luck is also enough on its own.

   I'm a "cryptoartist" one one of the curated NFT platforms. I've always had creative hobbies, and over the years have taken time off of my career to try and make a living from art (LOL impossible). Now this NFT thing come

   For me personally, I find a lot of the DeFi and NFT stuff fascinating. Most of it is happening on Ethereum. I'm not too familiar with the institutional side of blockchain, but I really like opensea and the many uniswap clones.

    Don't you still have to pay the tx fee to open a lightning network channel? Anyway the whole thing lost me with the block size debate (always been a big blocker). Where are we at with lightning network adoption anyway?

    The fees are too high and at least in the US, every transaction is taxable.

    How exactly does bitcoin liberate you from the shit that went down in the last year, besides the fact that luck, manipulation, and celebrity shilling propelled it to new heights. Not to mention that your taxes will be astronomical, and it&#

    I will be turning 36 soon, I agree that for me, my ability to learn and perform at a technical level is better than ever. I hope it sticks.

    Even if they do, they have major solvency/liquidity issues as a result of this fiasco and they are feeling the pressure. Folks are moving to other brokerages in large quantities.

    This whole essay is asinine and offers no constructive feedback. We are better off with Fauci being a soft mascot than getting fired or pushed out and some Trump puppet having taken his place.

    I disagree with you. "It's more in the average person's interests to have an index-traded-funds go up a reliable amount each year." You are saying that people are too dumb to decide what to do with their own money, and t

    I don't think it's ignorant, it's just another framework of looking at the world. Consider a chessboard that's in the middle of a game. The moves up to that point don't matter. Only the current state of the board ma

    I think crypto requires low level interactions for things like this. Tooling is good for abstracting payments, but if you're using it and don't understand what's happening under the hood there are so many pitfalls.

    Random internet meanie aside, if this happened to a friend or a family member, I would absolutely try to explain to them that they were an idiot for putting their life savings into crypto in the first place.

    Well it's hacker news, how about a script that spawns a pop-up reminder instead! Still, it's a pretty effective experiment if you can commit to it.
