Crypto prices have gone down a bit from their peak, but it sure seems like crypto is here to stay. In fact, I'd be happy to make a bet that the crypto industry will exist in 10 years, and will have a larger market cap than it does toda

To me a hotel and an airbnb are 2 totally different products. I prefer using airbnb (or vrbo) because I can get an entire house (yes I know this is technically possible with a hotel, but typically not) with a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, etc

Agreed. I feel like there are significantly different "on call" expectations being discussed in the comments for this post.

I'm guessing the argument is that EV's cost more upfront (since they include a battery, etc), but have a lower cost of use. Since you get charged sales tax on the upfront cost, EV's get charged sales tax on a larger percentag

But Ethereum mining rewards are orders of magnitude greater than the mining rewards for all of the altcoins (combined). The attack cost on this page [0] is a good reference for the relative mining incentive. Given this, a LOT of mining capa

Exactly. And if you had half an ounce of sense, you would have withdrawn your deposits from these platforms when UST and then Celsius collapsed.

If a user has $250k or less in USD assets on the platform I believe it does. For most of these sites, users convert deposits into stablecoins (USDC, etc) since they can typically earn interest on this, and this is not covered under FDIC.

Yeah, I tend to agree. And tbh I kind of like the glimpse into a person's life that a non-filtered background gives (in much the same way that idle chit chat helps me "connect" with a coworker).
