They're probably doing that because they're not a good project and need something to actually back them and make them seem more worthwhile.

Using luna as an example, it might make some sense to back it with crypto independent of it, using bitcoin and eth for that never really made any sense though to me - either they had no trust in their protocol or were greedy (and it looks like it turned out to be both).

In the end they'll all just die out if they're not useful or helpful.

I do wonder if Coinbase's cofounders have started to give up on it or whether they're buying stocks for this price.

Realistically (if they see value in it) it'd make sense for them to try to buy back as much as they can if/once it stabilises and starts to rise - or perhaps like people do with bitcoin and just buying it as it drops, they'd still do well from that.

They might not lose reputation with the people who've rated them well before the acusationn but if the accusation is spread far enough and the defense is bad then they should lose reputation with new and potential players (but it might depend how many bad reputations they get that are fully proven, one or two might not be enough to get a conclusive result (and I don't think they've been enough in the past to fully desuade everyone).

It's quite discrete though imo for people in those countries.

If it does well they could probably either just move country to sell their crypto or find someone who could trade it for them - in countries where drugs have been made illegal, they don't seem too hard to come by (enough people seem to have them/take them).


I wonder how easy tor is to access and use in China without detection.. I know there's a bridge that was made so people from China could connect to tor but I'm not sure how noticeable it is (and presumably you'd have to get tor from an unofficial source).

I'm not sure about on mobile but you can hit control+s after pressing preview on PC browsers and they'll save everything for you. Maybe a screenshot and a copy and paste is best for mobile (you can then import that into notes).

I think the limit for posting in archival was hero member accounts plus, not sure if it's still the same (it's likely mods moved anything for people under that rank).

I'd be a bit careful in your position, remember that reading books on intelligence (emotional especially) might not be the best way to actually acquire it.

Take care in deciding to run before you're able to walk. If you're getting into trading you're better off testing the waters before throwing yourself in deep water without being fully prepared.

Calling yourself a "certified crypto trader" is also worrying and I'd take everything she tells you with a pinch of salt (generally, I'd advise you don't trust things until they've been proven to you - if she's got a strategy or a few she's trying to teach it doesn't hurt to paper trade it for a while or trade with lower until you've proven your chances for success).

No one with money would actually go to this much effort though.

If you've built a wealth from your profile and by selling parts of it to people, why wouldn't you just keep doing that? Don't change a model that's already successfu l for them, money attracts more money there's no chance it scares it off... If you've got enough money to be able to do something like this, you've got enough money not to care about inflation, a recession...

It was done by the terra network as I received a notification from a few exchanges about it in advance of being credited funds.

This probably didn't have much of an effect on bitcoin's price and is just two things happening at once.

I think US monetary policy has been speculated to be maintaining an inflation of about 8% so this could be that just catching up. Surely inflation dollars being reported as high would be a good thing for crypto too as there's extra cash moving through the economy.

The UK bought a lot of banks during the financial crisis, the goverment clearly missed a trick not generating a currency and making it seem like it was different from the pound... I'm surprised we don't have more of these CBDC type systems already if that's all they're doing (although maybe that's just treasury/fed bonds)...

They're probably a good thing for rivalling mastercard and visa but that's only if they're well marketed and companies support them well enough (I'm not even sure companies large enough pay fees for receiving debit/credit card payments).

I think a lot of people (newbie to experienced) still seem to like claiming faucets.

I go to faucet sites every few months and see if there's anything new around just to see how that side of the ecosystem is going/nostalgia (and of course to claim a few sats).

It's normally nice to see sites that are still going and have been for a long time as well as ones where the payout when I joined would've been less than a cent but that payout now would be a few $.

(I'd avoid investing in things like cloud mining though if you can help it - you might be better off making a wallet address and then forgetting that wallet exists for a while but setting up automated payments to see if you manage to get much after a while - eg a few years).

Do we know anything about the network itself though? I've been trying to search up on it and can't find anything to do with how it actually functions or any stats on it.

How do we know this isn't just a type of governmental bank that facilitates transactions between people as apposed to the private financial sector being an intermediary and is there much of a difference between a CBDC and a government owned bank (assuming the government has a decent amount of countrols over their CBDC in terms of things like "preventing money laundering").

OmegaStarScream said it wasn't open source in your last thread (first response).

There's a chance okx have called it decentralised because I'm assuming you can dowlaod a wallet file or something's saved on a plugin (blockchain.info used to have downloadable wallet files which made it a bit more reputable - those wallet files aren't ever directly compatible with software like electrum or bitcoin core though - you're probably better off using one of them).

How many threads are on a page for you to not just be able to hit clear all a few times (if you're clearing everything, you probably don't even need to change pages).

I don't think you've explained what you'd want a script to do better, remove everything (it's probably quite easy to make one if so)?

I was thinking this about fees but maybe people are loading channels/testing with the lightning network now that fees are low. It's probably a better assumption to make but the lightning network might be similar to segwit in thst it takes a while to adopt (if it does see network wide adoption - segwit had the same uncertainty).

(afaik lower fees and emptier blocks make the lightning network more secure).

Does the wallet actually store 2 master private keys? I thought the mnemonic was a representation of 2 but one of the keys wasn't stored in the wallet, one was and one was with trustedcoin? I'm just curious if this is going to be usable for people who lose their 2fa and only have their wallet file if 2 of the keys are stored there.

Did you actually make a trade within those 22 minutes then?

I'd've expected them to suspend trading (their announcement said they did with margin accounts), if they didn't you might want to email their support and see if there's anything they'd be able to offer to do with it but it might be unlikely as they'll have already distributed your airdropped tokens to the buyer.

I think this is something that's annoyed a lot of investors about futures platforms in the past (it's potentially still ongoing too).

There is a possibility a lot of traded crypto aren't backed by anything, this is less likely with more trusted exchanges (like coinbase) but it could still be a practice to an extent. Exchanges trading using statistics based on what their users are doing might cause a greater price change - and also the chance that exchanges could realistically make money by increasing the spread between currency buying and selling (which is what a lot of exchanges already do).

Yep this is exactly my point. If companies want workers, they need to be more proactive in hiring and participating in areas of society where they'll find those workers..

I know of places like hobby shops (eg book stores) and pubs that have often asked their more regular customers if they'd like an interview/job with them. I think there are equally a lot of people that work in shops in the UK who work there because they actually enjoy what they do (eg seeing new people every day and having interactions with them) - I use cashiers as an example because they're probably one of the lowest paid jobs everywhere.


I heard of a stereotype from Eastern Europeans that Germany is where you go if you want a lot of money but want to continuously work and the UK/nordics are where you go if you want a good amount of money but a stronger work life balance. I wonder if this would actually be undone by improving the living and working conditions in Eastern and Southern Europe.


The cap was brought in by the current government after a few controversies after there wasn't a cap.

I think the cap pushes everything else higher and you might want to decide whether you think that's worthwhile or not... House prices, rent and groceries are kept high as a result and there might be a big impact in stopping some of these from happening. £13-20k is enough to live off, it's not enough to save off though imo and you won't claim anywhere near that if you already have a good amount of savings too so most of that money is being put straight back into the economy in some way.

Do you know what these are you're trying to convert and why you actually need them? Where did the "sec" term come from, what wallet are you using?
