Amazon has gone years without paying taxes.  They just keep re-investing any profits that they have into expanding their business so at the end of the year their profit is zero.  They are playing the capitalistic game while serious needs go unfunded with homeless people starving on the streets.

Its funny because all the nerds that I know (video game people) none of them own any cryptocurrency.  I consider it to be more of a gambler's money than that of a nerd.   Also a lot of it is just luck on whether or not you heard about bitcoin and had friends that used it on marketplaces.

That is blatantly false.  People have made a lot of easy money in crypto with doing very little work.  This will be the last chance for investors to make huge gains before crypto becomes completely mainstream.  If you had one shot would you capture it?

For a lot of these guys its an adrenaline rush thing.  They obviously don't need the money because they are already very wealthy.  The guys on the other end of the spectrum are the desperate gamblers that are trying to get rich for once in their lives.

Calling the #2 crypto a shitcoin? come on......

Just being objective here, what about that inflation bug in bitcoin that was luckily discovered by a bitcoin cash developer?   That could of spelled disaster for btc.

Bitcoin could have another inflation bug or could get 51% attacked and will still hold value, if something catastrophic like another inflation bug happened there would still be tons of people waiting to buy in cheap.  Just the chance of owning the most recognized cryptocurrency as a keepsake is something people will do.

People are putting too much bearing on championships when discussing who is the greatest.  I think Lebron is a better overall player than Jordan.  The 6 rings doesn't matter to me because Jordan always had stacked teams and Pippen is better than any player Lebron has ever played with.

Companies have sold hardware at a loss just to get it in the hands of the users.  One example that comes to mind is Sony and the playstation.  It makes perfect sense to hand out free Amazon tablets or google phones, the amount they will make from all that data will outweigh the costs.

Piskeante if your so sure of Eth going below $50 I would like to see the short positions you are taking.  But you are probably just a troll, doubt any serious investor believes that.  Mining is a brutal business and people always try to deter others from entering because that just means increased difficulty and lower profits.

It would have been better if they could of purchased a big piece of land and started their own country.  I'm sure they will do their best but seasteading comes with a bunch of problems and humans are more adapted towards land.

Yobit has been scamming people for years.  There are lots of scam accusations on this forum.  They will selectively scam users that deposit large amounts, list complete scam projects, have a sketchy dice game on their front page.  They are not to be trusted.

A lot of people are mining to generate heat for their house so even if they are technically not making a profit they are still paying less to heat their house so its a win for them.

Also many people have free electricity from rental agreements, solar, hydro, or using company property.

Roger Federer - 20 majors
Nadal - 17
Djokavic - 15


Do you guys think that Nadal or Djokavic will be able to reach Roger Federer's majors record by the end of their careers?

Some people think that Michae lJordan retired from the NBA in 1994 because he was banned for gambling on games.  So then he used the baseball excuse to retire from the game.  Also read that his father was killed over a gambling debt that he refused to pay.  Sounds crazy but maybe it holds some truth.

You can already send transactions for less than $0.01 if you are willing to wait for the transaction.  The great thing about erc-20 is that companies can create a digital asset on an established network without the chance of a 51% attack on their own chain.

Bitcoin still has a higher inflation rate than USD.  USD tends to have an inflation rate near 2% with it being higher some years.  People always forget that gold has an inflation rate as well as more and more gold gets mined from the ground each year.  We will start to see some big price increases after the next reward reduction.

There is a common malware that puts in the hackers address when you try to send a transaction.  This is why it is always recommended to triple check the address you are sending to.  If you are signing offline with a hardware wallet this will never be a problem for you.

I have become very skeptical of any new crypto project/service.  I would not trust anything that is new until it has been fully established and has a large customer base.  There has just been too many exit scams recently for me to trust new services.

The entire crypto market moves together so I think it is a bit foolish to single out single coins.  Maybe in the future ethereum will start to breakaway from bitcoin's path but it remains to be seen.  Eth is one of the best buys right now considering how low it is down from the all time high.

Why on earth would he be stressed out, he is already a millionaire many times over.  At that point extra money doesn't matter, it just becomes numbers on a screen like a video game score.  The people that were really affected were those that have a job that depends on crypto prices to stay high.
