Stablecoins can be backed by gold and can by gold ...
Stablecoins are so boring. Nobody wants that. |

Can you tell me what crypto coins were before BTC? I wasn't aware of them... I thought that the Bitcoin started it all.
Bitcoin is a product of previous digital money that has been created decades of years before the existence of bitcoin. And as far as I know, it all started from Adam Back's Hashcash to Wei Dai's bmoney up until to Nick Szabo's BitgoldSatoshi combined combined these founding pieces of technology that results to an innovated cryptographic based currency called bitcoin. Full details here - https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2017/12/223058-bitcoins-academic-pedigree/fulltext?mobile=falseAlthough there have been attempts at online money before Bitcoin, bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency to use the blockchain principle, and the first peer-to-peer payment system to completely eliminate double spending problem without the need for a centralized supervisor. |

I don't understand why people keep large amounts of coins in their exchange wallets. Exchanges get hacked all the time, and the coins may disappear forever. People need to learn to use the tools they have at their disposal.
It's amazing how many people in the crypto community don't even own a "hardware" wallet. That means they have nothing in their hands, and the entire value of their coins is put in the hands of exchanges. What a great use of money.
It's an exchange it's supposed to be that way and know that there are lots of people using the exchange that's it has a lot of funds in there. Although, the recent hack doesn't actually affect the market and I wonder why because oftentimes in the past when this happens the fud and dumping gets serious. You would think to likely dump your Bitcoin as well but I guess people nowadays learned the hard way to just hodl instead of dumping because of how much valuable Bitcoin today compared to the past. Anyway, it's not necessary for everyone to own a hardware wallet if they could use a free wallet such as Electrum which is better and not everyone do own large amount of Bitcoin that's why there's no need for owning a hardware wallet. In my opinion, Liquid is not that big exchange that a hack would affect the market. The market is probably too big for this kind of influence. And besides, if I understood correctly, the funds were stolen from Ethereum wallets, so there is no reason for this hack to affect the Bitcoin price. |

Since the creator of this topic left long ago, it does not make sense to discuss it further. Even if he comes back, I doubt that he will read all your replies because the topic is clearly meant only for trolling.

New things are often viewed with skepticism, and Bitcoin is not any different. Some people feel that Bitcoin is a way for criminals to make money or it is a Ponzi scheme. There have been complaints about how bitcoins were hacked or lost. People also claim that bitcoins will be unable to sustain the “maximum” growth that some have predicted and that its finite supply will prevent people from "hoarding" bitcoins in the future.
While it is true that some of the early adopters of Bitcoin did play fast and loose with the concept of money, these guys are over. Bitcoin has become a respectable investment. The growth of the currency has no ceiling and will keep growing.

Wealthy people have stable stores of value like hedge funds, venture capital, and so on. Rich people can borrow money to purchase bonds, real estate and land without putting down any money. Poor people cannot. And, as a result, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
We are investing in Bitcoin to at least keep our money safe in a currency that won't lose value due to the increase in the supply.

At this stage with sideways trading going on for months, and BTC creeping upwards after the flash crash post ATH, it would be crazy for buyers not to continue buying, as the new ATH is looking on the horizon.
It won't be a long wait with a few years hitting a new ATH in speculation I think at the end of the year there will be a surprise in between rallies or not but it's definitely going to have a pump after passing this year. I'm also not sure it will go lower than 50% but it looks like bitcoin will be stronger in analysis this year. There's only a little time left now so it's better to buy early. I'm counting the weeks now and this is the 4th consecutive weekend coming where BTC is making another rally after getting over a small dip/hump in the week. It really is like Wednesday humps now. Most people thought last week was the final stage but I think this time could be it, we'll know by Sunday I guess. One thing I just don't understand, why does the price always rise after I sell some coins?  The same thing has happened to me several times already. I have no clue about the right moment to sell... It was a small amount, just enough to cover some expenses, but still... |

Computer viruses or worms that spread using electronic mail have been known since the 90s. I don't know what is new here, but people seem to have become too dependent on the mail service filters. Common sense should be everyone's best protection from such attacks.

You're right, the copy-pasted roadmaps you provided in the example are useless. But if there is no road map, then how can a potential investor know what direction the project is heading?
While I agree with your comment regarding Binance, but there is no doubt that listing on major exchanges will give your project greater visibility and potentially attract new investors, which is good for the project.

... and yeah getting away from the source of anger (the whole us federal gov)...
Yes, that would be the tricky part. I am just a few million short of buying my private island in the middle of nowhere.  Peace be upon you and your loved ones  . The same to you, buddy. |

Did the boy under her die? Because it is almost impossible if he survived that weight.  I believe it is not a weight issue, but breathing difficulties. But what do I know, I've never been in such a situation. Fortunately... |

I love to read, spend time with family and friends, be on the beach or go camping with my wife and kids.
But most of all, I love being a father, and I love teaching my kids about the world.

Yoghurt is known to have good benefits for the digestion because it is high in protein and healthy fats. Fruits and vegetables that are eaten with yoghurt tend to get absorbed by the body faster, therefore speeding up your digestion process.
It is also an excellent source of probiotics, which work on your digestive system to help your body absorb essential nutrients. They also improve your gut health and immune system.
So, all of these nutrients make yoghurt a very versatile food that you can eat any time of the day.

It's nice to see that the dog isn't in the cage all the time. He seems playful and happy.
