I know what market liquidity is, but if I were to purchase or sell large amounts of Bitcoin I think it would definitely affect the price. I don't think Bitcoin has high liquidity at all.

In what sense does Bitcoin have high liquidity?

I'm looking at getting an E46 330Ci and converting it to a track car. I found a fantastic example for £2,250.

Apologies, I thought I’d edit a useless, incorrect comment into something useful and contributive to the discussion. It wasn’t an act of manipulation or deception. I have restored the original comment.

You could argue that it’s not that drivers don’t care for good steering feedback, but most drivers never get to experience good steering feedback and therefore don’t know what it is and how much it improves the driving experience. It’s kind

> You know, back when you could really feel what a car’s doing, blah, blah, blah. There is an argument to be made for this. In most new cars, whether ICE or electric, electric power steering racks have almost removed all feedback through

Most non-car folk synonymize performance with acceleration, when in fact acceleration is arguably less important than braking and cornering. After all, what good is being able to go fast in a straight line if you can't brake or carry t

I agree, I think we have at least another one, perhaps two decades with gasoline engines. The sad news is that displacement will continue to get smaller, even in sports cars. The transition from the Porsche 981 to 718 is a great example of

Boeing could have chosen to compete with the A380 and built their own Superjumbo, but they chose not to, instead working on the Dreamliner. The 744, which was the last update to the 747 to see large market penetration, wasn't all that

The insurance policy for you and your family costs $20,000PA? I don't know about you, but to me that is madness. My private health cover with Bupa costs me less than $1200PA.

This happens quite often to me! I ask someone a question and get a super enthusiastic answer! If it’s something I’m also interested in then we go to town, otherwise I tend to listen to the other person for a short while, perhaps ask them on

I used be like that when I was at school. I was addicted to Modern Warfare and later Modern Warfare 2 to the extent where I almost got kicked out of school because I was getting such poor grades. I’m now a functioning adult and find it hard

A friend of mine has Google Home and it just doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest! Perhaps I just don’t know how to get the most out of it, but whenever I go to his I either just ask it dumb questions or get it to change the music - to his

Eh? Under what circumstances could worse brakes be better? High performance sedans, such as the Model S and F10 M5 don’t just need big brakes because of their speed, but also their weight. 2 piston calipers up front on either of those cars

Model S is nothing like a 7 series or an S class. These are both executive cars and their class is decided on wheel base. In the EU a Model S is an S-segment car, whereas the 7 series and S class are F-segment cars. The two don't eve

I like to drive to Goodwood Motor Circuit once a month or so, which is about 80 miles each way and 160 miles round trip. The drive takes me on some of the best roads in West Sussex, with some truly amazing cars (think Lamborghinis from the

I’ve just moved from a 3 hour commute from the suburbs to a 15 minute walk to work. While there are lots of positive changes to living so close to work, I’d just like to add some of the negative ones I’ve found since I moved: 1. A 3 hour co

Good question! I don’t think it’s a scientific number, but rather based on the current price (approx. $15,000 at the time of writing) to represent a 10x increase in Bitcoin’s valuation.

A couple of the folks I know are just HODLing until BTC hits $150,000. Most of them bought Bitcoin when it was a couple of $, haven’t bought Bitcoin since and are just waiting it out to see what happens.

I was at the Nurburgring this summer! I loved it so much I’m going to go back next summer. Of course, owners are entitled to do whatever they please with their cars - but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing to see a GT3 RS, or any o

I'd argue that a 911 GT3 RS is not a waste. I would love to own a GT3, let alone a GT3 RS. Most GT3 RS owners are motorsport lovers, and use their GT3 RS for its true purpose. Motorsport and track events are also a great place to make

We moved our infrastructure from scheduling containers with configuration management to scheduling containers with Nomad... and it is so much better. We no longer have the concern of defining static ports for each app, configuring App A wit

I have this bad habit where I don’t do side projects for me, but for work. I get excited about ideas I have to improve our product/infrastructure at work (I’m an SRE) and given that I am more or less autonomous I work on those instead

I don't know about other people, but I get a lot of interference on 2.4GHz between WiFi and Bluetooth at home. It doesn't matter whether its Bose Soundlink IIs or on-ear headphones. We have a UniFi access point that is brilliant.
