WAY better than nothing. Though "portfolio cash value" is not the same as USD Fiat on deposit. It could be all on Tesla stock for what we know or any sort of high risk high yield investments.
The portfolio may even be in the form of Tether! P.S.: Also one single signature from some UNIDENTIFIED person and not even an official bank seal..... It's almost comical when you are certifying almost 2 Billion USD.
For reals, dude. |

Yeah but... They show a balance of about $1.8B, while Tether market cap (according to CMC) is about $2.5B. edit: $1.8B. Mea culpa. I swear that browser tab couldn't have been more that a couple days old. Where did $700 million go overnight? Still... For some reason, this does nothing to assuage my skepticism. |

What would happen if ceo guru RogerKver got arrested again?
answer:
BCH would die or drop to 1$
 As opposed to your ludicrous claim, Bitcoin Cash has no CEO nor BOSS. You can trust that I am an authority on this matter. After all, I am the...  |

afaics involves trusting people who aren't in my wot, so no thanks. But still fascinating. pl prove me wrong? Can't prove you wrong at this point. Don't know the architecture of said 'pod' as of yet. But if the 'pod' (a personal repository of data) is fully in the control of the owning individual, then who cares what other elements require trust? Given the assumption that there be fine-grained access controls -- secured by crypto -- over each data element on a per-interactor (i.e., authenticated user or authenticated function) basis, that oughta be good enough, right? Or at least a step forward. Granted, that assumption is based upon hopium, as I've not yet delved into the details. But perhaps plausible? Tim's most visible project didn't exactly suck... you're too kind with your assumptions. Well, it's not like I risked anything based upon such assumption. It is a hypothesis to be tested when I get the time to explore. for now, try and get a pod, you have to enter passwords on some js infested web page
So unlike 99% of all other internet based activity, amirite? also, html is le suck  Yes. And a republic is the worst form of government. Other than being better than all others known. ironic statement is ironic. |

Fun fact if you're buying a house in the US you can't use legally obtained cash sourced from a Bitcoin exchange. None of the lenders have systems in place to accept it as a source of funds. Make sure you have had the cash funds 75 days prior to this. I know have to resource funds to close a house and am struggling.
Hmm. I musta got in under the wire. Closed late Jan of this year. Coinbase through Megabank through Regional Bank to title company. No worries. |

What happened to the cute lil doggie hat, micpeep? Did you create a renegade (unofficial) hat? And break WO consensus rules?  Careful with that inferred consensus, JJG. Lest the WO consensus be that you must don a chapeau with that crying baby image. |

and that's it, volume back down to nothing.
Ouch. That comment aged poorly. Careful what you wish for. |

How about some Brexit FUD. If Brexit goes ahead, as of 19 March 2019, the UK Civil Aviation Authority will no longer be recognised by the EU. All aircraft, maintenance services, training facilities, aero-nautical medical facilities will need to be recertified under EU law. If anything in the chain is not certified, presumably the plane cannot fly to the EU. https://www.easa.europa.eu/brexit Fuck Nigel, Boris, Teresa and the rest of the Conservative twats. They have no idea what they are doing. Why is the EU trying to prevent the airplanes of one nation entering its countries? Perhaps more countries should refuse to fly there if they are excluding national aviation authorities. Such sanctions should not be tolerated internationally. What Elwar said. Sure, I'm American, and pretty ignorant on all things Brexit. But from the outside, this looks like bureaucratic revenge rather than thoughtful policy. |

Just like totally free (unregulated) capitalism in a market will automatically lead to a monopoly.
The only monopolies that exist in unfettered free trade are those that already provide optimum product or service at optimum price for the consumer. Otherwise, a new entrant will either provide a better solution at same price or same solution at lower price, thereby eliminating the monopoly. This is all quite foundational. So with that understood, are you trying to malign the very existence of such a monopoly? Haha! A new entrant will get squashed by the all powerful monopolist, as happens all the time in the oligarchies you can observe in poorly regulated markets around the globe. They get bought up, and their ideas either implemented by the monopolist or shelved (e.g. Shell buying green energy innovations. They have a big shelve full of them, waiting for the right time). 'splain me 'squashed', willya? It's all easily observable throughout history. Any new cell phone network operators recently in your part of the world, providing better or cheaper solutions?
mmm hmm... and which upstart 'cell phone network operators' were 'squashed' in this manner? |

Why are you prepared to risk your manuro coins on these contraptions but not your proper bitcoins?
Funny you ask - you're spot on. I am dubious about any decent amount of coin value being on a device. I got two Ledgers and a Trezor late last year and I have used none of 'em. In all troothiness, your coin value isn't really on the device, per se. Your coin value is on your master key. The device is just a means of obtaining simple access to that coin value. You can import your master key into any other BIP 0044 'device' - HW or SW, and get access to all your coin value. |
