@NSKinsella You can't possibly expect this sjw crap to make any sense. 99.9% of people who post their pronouns use exactly the ones you'd use if they hadn't told you. Supposedly it's to support people whose pronouns you'd get wrong, but I've yet to meet one.
@ErikVoorhees Crypto *companies* are regulated because they've got one foot still in the traditional finance system. Step all the way into crypto-land, and you can completely ignore regulators. Of course not many businesses can do that. But individuals can do it pretty easily.
@danheld Hodling can also be easy, if you're stupid: buy bitcoin and then completely forget for 5 years.
People are just bitter that they're poor, and will lash out at anyone. In this case, the entire concept of investment: "YoU dIdNT wOrK FOr IT liKe I Did"
@stephanlivera It's the government's monopoly on violence that allows them to get away with stealing 30% of your income via violent threats. That monopoly is not going away, and so neither are taxes.
You can argue the invisible inflation tax will go away and not be replaced, that's possible.
@danheld The chances of bitcoin hitting $1m are quite high. The market currently says less than 4% chance. But of course the market has been consistently wrong - the price of bitcoin keeps doubling every 6 months or so. "But we got it right this time".
Narrator: They didn't
@danheld It can literally never hit zero.
There are thousands of lowball bidders who would buy them all just for bragging rights. If anyone doubts this, remember NFTs have sold for tens of millions of dollars.
@jimmysong That's ridiculous, "skills" is not a one-dimensional attribute. You can be skilled at one thing and not at another. You did work to understand bitcoin, they havent. That doesn't mean they have no skills.
This doesn't make any sense. No one is saying we need to stay 60 feet apart. So telling us 60 is no better than 6 feet is useless. Is 6 bad or good? This study isn't saying.

@LNMarkets@LNMarkets - I'd like to see an opensource client for your platform (mobile app, perhaps) that will automatically deposit/withdraw to keep channel balance just above liquidation (with a configurable buffer). Any plan for something like that?
