The PricedinBitcoin21 index shows the price of goods and services priced in bitcoins. It's akin to the CPI showing the price of goods and services priced in USD. The PricedinBitcoin21 index going up 3X means goods and services are 3X

Interesting. That's quite impressive given the state of crypto/BTC this year. Are you interpreting the PricedinBitcoin21 index correctly? I don't think the index going up 3X this year really means what you've thought it

A serious question, how much have your crypto denominated net worth gone up or down this year? Crypto has been put forth as the hedge against fiats, but in reality it seems to be more as a speculative instrument.

Yes. People just don’t see it. I would argue the stack based VM’s are Forth based or inspired. Language VMs are running everywhere, billions of devices.

People are saying the exchanges borrowed the tokens from each other, produced a snapshot of the reserves, and then shipped the tokens to the next exchange to do the same thing. People were seeing large outflow of tokens from one address to

Yes. The staging area is for prepping the current commit set. I can pick or exclude which changes to go into the next commit. May be if it’s renamed to Change Set people would feel better.

Farming? Modern farming is more like project management, hiring management company, hiring operation company, corps planning, taking to banks, managing finance, managing subcontractors, sales, etc.

It's wild. The place is brazenly being robbed in public eyes. Is it under the Bahamas laws? What can anyone do?

It partly has to do with the bidding process - the drive to get the lowest bid. Competent companies know the cost won't work and are unwilling to put up the surety bonds to take on a project. It leaves with the boldest incompetent co

Does he still hold on to the billion dollar worth Robinhood shares?

The collapse of FTX will impact the whole crypto space negatively. Nothing is spared. 1. All the alt-coins in FTX/Alameda Reasearch holding will be liquidated. E.g. Solana has been down >40% already. 2. The value of the FTT tokens

Ok. To settle once for all whether FTX is an exchange or not. Below are the services they offer. Futures: ... with margins of up to 101x. Leveraged Tokens: ... up to three times the leverage. ... the leveraged coins offered by FTX don’t r

They are an exchange that allows future trading and margin trading which require borrowing money/assets/coins. The FTT tokens were probably put up as collateral for loans. The drop of the FTT value probably triggers calls on tho

1. We don't know what the lending basis for FTT from FTX vs the claimed value of FTT on Alameda's book. FTX lent FTT at $10 to Alameda and then FTT inflated to $50 would mean Alameda has $50 asset vs $10 liability. It's repo

Just went over the issues on the balance sheet of Alameda Research, which is SBF's trading company. Of the $14.6 billion assets Alameda manages, almost $6 billion is FTT based. Alameda has heavy investment in Solana, Serum, and other

Not sure how safe Alameda is. $6 billion out of $14 billion of Alameda assets is FTT based. With FTT tanking, its asset balance shrunk greatly. It might well has its own liquidity problem. Also with Biannce buying FTX, it can call back t

The assets are fine. Just the value of the assets is not sure.

by ww520 4y ago
Isn't FTT like FTX's own issuing tokens? It's like printing one's own money. But when the backing firm fails, the printed money is worthless, just like what LUNA issued by Terra had become.

Bitcoin balance on FTX Exchange have gone negative [1]. The withdrawals have been disabled on FTX. It's probably the AltCoins bought with the BTC by FTX have gone down in value and the BTC are gone for good. When people withdraw again

Aside from the easy lock picking, the bolt of the lock looks incredibly flimsy. It’s a thin hollow tube rather than a solid metal bolt. It looks like a big push or kick would rupture the bolt and open the door.

Cons can build a tree, though it can certainly build a list. (a1 (b1 (c1 c2 c3) b2 (c4 c5)) a2 a3) is a tree.

Linked list is useful when you are hurting for memory and need precision memory allocation, like in the kernel. You trade memory compactness for more operation time in dealing with its certain aspects.
