3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: To the Moon: Shitcoins are Ponzi Schemes on: December 26, 2021, 03:17:08 PM
Firstly, if this isn't clear not all altcoins are shitcoins. In my opinion, shitcoins are any crypto that serves no real purpose, take meme-coins for example. And even these shitcoins are not exactly Ponzi schemes by defination, as others have mentioned since they don't promise any returns, but some shitcoins do work like Ponzi schemes.
Take these recent Shib, Squid Game, even Doge examples, early investors who were sensible enough to get out at the peak (just like Ponzi investors) made some insane profits but others who bought near the top are left with holding their bags or cuttings massive losses.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof of work vs proof of stake? Why can't i STAKE my BTC? on: December 23, 2021, 03:17:40 PM
It all depends on the algorithm itself. If the developer of a coin wants to implement POS algorithm, you will be able to stake. For example, ETH is now a POW coin so you can mine it. But in 2022 (hopefully) they will be moving to POS mechanism, so you will be able to stake the coin and won't be able to mine it using your computing power. 
What many people were hopeful about ethereum 2.0 was that people will be able to stake ethereum and also pay low transaction fee, but now still getting longer and ethereum fee is very high like nothing has been changed. Let us hope ethereum will finally move to PoS by 2022, but just that PoW is far better than PoS as the equipment used for mining are bought and help the companies producing the equipments to also gain unlike PoS that only deals with staking, also that electricity companies are also paid to produce more electricity, PoW helps in the progrey of these companies.

But that high electricity consumption from POW mining has become a weapon for the environmentalists. Whenever the bad side of POW is discussed, electricity consumption and increase carbon emissions remains the top concerns amongst others. So I personally think that POS is far better than POW.

POS may be better in some aspects but there's no doubt that POW is much more secure than POS. The only vulnerability to POW is 51% attacks, but for a completely decentralized network such as Bitcoin itself, it's nearly impossible for one group to have 51% hashing power of the network. Whereas in POS it's far easier to just buy a majority of the coin on a network, become a validator, and validate fraudulent transactions.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / USDC-USDT flippening on: December 15, 2021, 03:51:27 PM
USDC might surpass USDT in the market soon and this is probably a much more important flippening than ETH-BTC which is talked about a lot. But Why?

It is no surprise that USDT is currently the biggest liquidity provider on exchanges. USDT has the most no of trading pairs on almost all exchanges. And Tethers shady nature is non-unknown either.
On the other hand, USDC, which is "fully backed by cash and equivalents and short-duration U.S. Treasuries" and publishes monthly attestation reports, is a much more reliable alternative.
For months now USDC is growing larger and larger. It had just a $4B market cap at the start of the year and now it stands at a $41b market cap. Nearly a 10x increase, USDT on the other hand has gone from $20B to $77B. Around 3.5x.  

If this trend continues, USDC will flip USDT within the next year, which I think is very is significant as if USDT "pyramid" collapses its effect would probably feel a little less by the whole market (it would still be catastrophic).

So what are your thoughts on this? Would USDC flip USDT in market-cap within the next year or would Tether remain dominant?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most profitable cryptocurrency to invest at the end of 2021. on: December 15, 2021, 12:16:05 PM
I think it's Crypto.com coin (CRO). Crypto.com's aggressive marketing this year has really paid off CRO did a parabolic run upto $0.9 and now is now down at a very comfortable buying range in my opinion. The main argument for why CRO will go huge in 2022 is that Crypto.com really has the potential to become the next big exchange maybe even overthrow Binance, and more importantly Crypto.com is after the crypto market space in the US which Binance has seemingly abandoned, If Crypto.com is successful in becoming the entry point to many more Americans in 2022 then it can become one the top exchanges and in turn, CRO will also rise.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is USDT? on: December 15, 2021, 08:21:44 AM
USDT is by far the most sketchy stablecoin out there. USDT currently has $76B in circulation and they claim it is backed 1 to 1 to USD, this would mean Tether has $76B cash reserves but it has never released an official audit.

Now the interesting or rather scary part is that every time there is a parabolic move by BTC, USDT issuance also goes parabolic, do they really have that much USD to back tether? Most likely no. USDT mimics USD and fiat's worst property i.e issuance out of thin air.

If and when this likely fraudulent company goes under, the biggest liquidity provider for the crypto market will cease to exist and the effects will be catastrophic. If anything we need to stop using USDT and move towards more transparent and decentralized stablecoins like DAI or UST (terra USD) or even USDC as a centralized stablecoin is a much better alternative than tether.

But nowadays it feels like you get nothing interesting. Like there's something that muds everything up. Like all the content you want to get to is filtered out, and content that is pushed on you is added in.
One word: Money.
In recent years Google has been very aggressive with monetizing all its platforms with ads, look at youtube it's so infuriating to use without ad-block. Google basically now caters to its stakeholder's interests like certain websites search results are probably "promoted" hence why they show up before others. Also, google's personalized ads are basically a privacy nightmare. And they have also been aggressively blocking a lot of content recently.
Really if you want unbiased search results it's better to use some other search engine like DuckDuckGo which supposedly doesn't track, even Bing is probably.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn’t KYC anti-ethical to Bitcoin? on: December 09, 2021, 02:39:44 PM
To remain anonymous is only possible if people will not convert Bitcoin to Fiat.

Exactly thats right on point. When you bring in fiat currencies you will need to comply with its issuing government's laws. In the purest form, BTC is meant to be obtained by mining and used as currency among the people, exchanges changed it all when you could "buy/sell" BTC with fiat currency.

But as of recently, it is hard to purchase any crypto without encountering a form of KYC.
There are still ways to avoid KYC while using fiat by doing OTC P2P trades, there are also DEX such as Bisq where you can do P2P trades online which the need of KYC like it was the case with localbitcoins back in the day.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs Gold Debate Settled on: December 18, 2020, 05:55:19 PM
both are different and in my opinion it is not debatable
True, but for different reason. I don't know why but everyone always seems to forget that gold is just a piece of metal, whereas bitcoin has much more use case than being a store of value. The only similarity bitcoin and gold share, in my opinion, is thier rarity. Everyone always say bitcoin is digital gold but in reality bitcoin is much more than just a "rare thing" with value.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: TO THE MOON! on: November 30, 2020, 03:36:20 PM
$25-30K to end the year? 30k seems like most realistic goal to me till year end. People with weak hands are definitely going to sell at 20k. 20k is also a huge mental barrier to break imo.

I recieved an azure trial account as vouch copy so here's the review for it.

The account is azure trial with €170(~$200) of credit as advertised by OP. I launched a VM to test it out and it works as you would expect, so all services supported by the trial plan should work. I can't comment just yet if the account will get banned by Microsoft, but if it does I'll post update here.

15  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: ###-high quality azure /aws /netflix /vultr /atlantic /and more-### on: July 31, 2020, 05:38:55 PM
Linode available?

No, I do not create Linode for a long time already. At the moment only aws, azure, scaleway available for free giveaway.
Ionos and OVH are not easy to create and therefore these are not included in the offer.

Let me know if you are interested in aws, azure or scaleway.
In that case I'll take azure.

20  Other / Off-topic / Re: Largest religion in 2050? on: October 09, 2019, 05:33:32 PM
In my opinion, the largest religion will be the absence of religion. Statistically Gen Z is the least religious generation and even a lot of millennials in developed countries are atheists. But this is probably not gonna happen by 2050, maybe more later like 2075-2100.
