It's like a mad children argument on who's got the more houses loses. A social justice warrior badge should be given here






The only reason you ever write anything here is to give yourself the illusion that you have some semblance of power and control over your own life... When you post, you're not really talking to anybody, just re-asserting yourself. It's been kind of fascinating to watch, NGL.

So far the best excuse I've heard for the war from the pro-Putin, pro-invasion and pro-bloodshed side is that "Well America has done bad things, too."

If you're Russian, then I kind of get it. You feel a patriotic duty to support your president. A lot of Americans were tricked into thinking the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 were necessary, with the government really playing into the patriotism aspect to get the support of the populace. So I don't blame you.

This will be my only post here. Hope the war ends soon. Its been bad for Bitcoin, and pretty much everything else in the world, if you hadn't noticed.

I can explain the whole Celcius business model in less than 5 minutes to anyone that doesnt know anything about crypto. ...(apt explanation)...
All the insiders sold and made bank

A couple years back I had a job writing for one of the top 3 crypto news websites.

One day my asshole editor tells me I'm doing an interview with Alex Mashinsky (Celsius CEO) for a story, gear up.

The subject of the story is to be about how an "independent research firm" puts Celsius' valuation 3x higher than its previous assessment.

I do a bit of background research and find out said research firm is heavily invested in Celsius.

Additional research into Maskinsky's claims about being the inventor of this and that technology (all bogus) lead me to suspect he's a sociopath douche.

I bring this up to my editor and tell him I don't feel comfortable doing the interview or writing the story. He says write it or you're fired.

Two days later I'm fired.

Fast-forward two years: the editor has been a heavy supporter of Mashinsky and customer of Celsius. He lost everything he put in there.


When all the shit went down earlier this year I was tempted to write him a "ha-ha-told-you-so"-type email or expose him publicly, but I never did. I reckon its ultimately not necessary, but can't help but wonder if he remembers me.

$1.5 Million Floating Home Prototype Sinks Into The Water Just As It’s Unveiled.

Three floors, a landing pad for drones, a bunch of electronics - all this is in the houseboat. At first, everyone admired the unique idea, but as soon as the house left the pier, it immediately bent over and went to the bottom.

The SeaPod, builty by Panama-based technology company Ocean Builders, is meant to be a self-sustaining, eco-restorative home that floats above the waves.

Now, hypothetically, getting back to your question, could individual items / content IDs be sold off? Perhaps/probably? I guess that's a design question, you'd have to ask someone with more expertise than myself. But that's also very much not the point I was initially making nor how things presently work as I already said.

"Owning your own content" implies that one should be able to do whatever they want with it, does it not?

TBH the point I was getting at was there is already a blockchain-based technology in place to allow for this to transpire, which is NFTs.

Edit: funny that this thread got moved to P&S but not entirely unpredictable.

The connection between doge and twitter purchase deal is not clear. Like always markets are controlled by him and by his measly word whether it is backed by real things or just a gibberish. Twitter is cheap asf right now. He might be aiming to pump it like no tomorrow but wants it cheaper. He fudded ukraine war to bring markets down and to trigger a huge amounts of bots lacing back at him to justify his claim about twitter bot issues to cut himself a better acquisition price.

This post makes very little sense, and just about every part of it is incorrect.

- The connection is Elon has stated he thinks Twitter premium services should be purchasable with Dogecoin. He will also probably make DOGE the official tipping currency of Twitter.

- Markets aren't "controlled by him."

- He's literally buying out every share of Twitter to take the company private... it won't be publicly traded after then.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/twitter-intends-close-deal-with-musk-194652129.html

- He's buying it at $54.20 a share, which is the price of his original offer:

An actual Inverse Cramer ETF has been filed.

https://www.streetinsider.com/ETFs/It+Happened...+A+Short+Jim+Cramer+ETF+Was+Filed+with+the+SEC/20671331.html

Someone has actually done it. That is correct, someone made a short Jim Cramer ETF, along with a long Jim Cramer ETF.

Tuttle Capital Management via Northern Lights Fund Trust IV filed today for an 'Inverse Cramer ETF' and 'Long Cramer ETF'.

The proposed ticker for the short Cramer ETF is SJIM and for the long Cramer ETF is LJIM.

For years, traders have joked that you should do the opposite of what Jim Cramer says on TV to make money.

From the prospectus:

The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by engaging in transactions designed to perform the opposite of the return of the investments recommended by television personality Jim Cramer (“Cramer”). Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s investments is invested in the inverse of securities mentioned by Cramer.

Dunno if this was real or not but its pretty funny:

I think the easiest way to do this is to attach any content owned by an individual to their wallet address via a content ID label. And to have the storage for all of the content done in a way that is distributed and anonymized by hosts.

This way, blockchain has an identifier as to who owns what, but the bulk of the data storage isn't on the blockchain itself.

I kind of see what you're saying but how would items be transferred or sold from one account to another in a way that could be trustless and anonymous?

Nothing to do with NFTs for a web3 that matters. It doesn't matter if someone uses a monkey picture or not.

The real purpose of a web3 is that you own your content (not your profile picture). That way, if you want to go from twitter to some as of yet unnamed platform, you can go there, all of your data and all of the platform exists elsewhere but on a different front-end.

That is what creates real decentralization, real free market competition, real innovation, etc.

How do you think those ownership properties will be defined on a digital level?
2193  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Elon Buys Twitter - Project X on: October 05, 2022, 05:56:13 AM
If it needs it's own token, it will need to prove the game theory cannot be gamed as seen before. I don't see how Bitcoin fits in all of this beside implementing Lightning Network payments natively, that would be cool, however the Bitcoin blockchain is for Bitcoin transactions, not some Elon Musk experiment.

I wouldn't worry about it as he'll be using Dogecoin obviously.

DOGE pumps 7% as Elon's Twitter deal comes back to life

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63137114

Quote
Billionaire Elon Musk has apparently changed his mind about buying Twitter, again, and is now willing to proceed with his takeover of the social media platform.

In a letter to the firm, Mr Musk agreed to pay the price he offered months ago before trying to quit the deal.

The surprise reversal comes just weeks before the two sides were due in court.

Twitter, which had sued Mr Musk to force the takeover to move forward, was seen as having the stronger case.

In the letter, attorneys for Mr Musk said he intended to move ahead to complete the transaction, pending receipt of the financing and an end of the legal fight.

A spokesperson for Twitter acknowledged the firm had received the proposal, adding "the intention of the company is to close the transaction at $54.20 per share" - the price that Mr Musk promised in April.

I remember when Moolah got hacked, if ur a Darkcoin "DASH now" trader you will remember it. Also it was b4 Cryptsy's issue. I really hope American courts look into these claims.

"Hacked"



A lot of Dogecoin and Syscoin OGs also still traumatized by that event.
2196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is NFT's hype over? on: October 04, 2022, 12:29:40 PM
You can simply check recent OpenSea sales volume to know exactly how wrong you are about NFTs being "dead" or "stagnant." Daily volume for the top 10 NFT collections:



Yes, a lot of it is b.s. that will fade in value, and a lot of other NFTs are illiquid, but the market is still very much there. Its not going away, ever. This isn't like DeFi or the shitcoin of the month. It's like cryptocurrency for everything else besides currency.

Similar to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs versus the Bucanneers, why are Matthew Stafford and the Rams the underdogs versus Jimmy G and the 49ers? I thought the Rams would be -3 favor it hehehe.

Good question. I may have to put a bet in and lose some more money to find out.

Sometimes I just need to fuck around to find out.



In this case it was the Rams being out a few key players, a tremendous SF D, and Stafford just kind of plain sucking.

If Matt Gay can sink a 50-yard FG, that could sink nutildah.

There was a few ways in which I could have lost but in the end it was Cooper Kupp having a personal record number of receptions that saved me.

Even if every deleted post I did was added back I would be in the 42k post range over the last 122 months

That is only 350 posts a month. say 11 or 12 a day.

chart buddy does 1 an hour. or 24 a day about 720 each month.

I can not pace that high. It would mean I need to double the posts far too much work.

I am stretched to thin with what I post now.

You need to make a bot to automate your posts for you... maybe have it make all the posts in a special Off-Topic thread.

Maybe have it make AI-generated posts based off the last post. For example, this is generated in Sassbook AI Writer off the text quoted above:

And if you can't get much more than that into your posts, do it with a heavy dose of sarcasm. This is really the only way to make a post go. You're making me chuckle, so I'm not going to let you down. (This is actually really true, and I don't mean to offend anyone.)
