If Tether holders were fleeing, they would be going into other stablecoins like USDC, not BTC.

The rumor is the backer is using the reserves to trade crypto. You won't ever see an attack on Teather during a crypto bull run as the reserves will be strong. In the depths of a crash, the potential is definitely there. Last time Bi

I am really trying not to sound like a GCP fanboy, however: I have never heard anyone say that the AWS toolset was anything but "an amalgam of individual projects developed separately." It is obvious from their UI that the differ

You could enter your basis when you transfer coins into the account. This is how it works with other assets. If you transfer stocks between brokerage accounts, they communicate the basis as well.

Is this a long term solution? Or do you plan on selling Bitcoin to pay back the loan when you think we are near the top?

Bitcoin futures are running at about 25% per annum carry. They absolutely can find counterparties to take that trade, but it would be much more efficient to trade in the spot markets. The real question is if they have custody operations set

What did you expect the response to be. Should they have said, "No we don't have that, you should probably just use AWS"? They didn't have exactly what you wanted so provided a workaround that would solve the problem.

Have you verified the valuation of the common stock the company is reporting to the IRS? The common stock (what you probably get for your options) is usually valued at significantly less than the valuation from the latest raise.

Whatever well respected means to you, there is probably someone that meets it. If you like old guard financial entities, Fidelity has a custody service. If you want an entity that has been in the space almost as long as Bitcoin and has neve

Try open hand warmers designed to warm the blood on the top of your hand as it flows into your fingers. In my experience, these work great at keeping my hands warm while not reducing dexterity. https://images.app.goo.gl/DZof

BCC meaning Bitcoin Cash? It is commonly called BCH now. They are still around, with a few miners. They had a few forks which split and degraded their community significantly. It is trading at about 0.013 BTC, which IMO is in line with the

In other words: Every day bitcoin survives its safety as an investment grows a little bit.

Many of the people that originally saw Bitcoin as a payment processor (as digital cash) moved on to Bitcoin Cash. The scalability issues were evident from the beginning. The idea of running Visa scale transactions on a shared ledger were de

Shareholders were informed of the plan well ahead of the bitcoin purchases. They were offered the chance to sell their shares. Existing shareholders have proven they are onboard with this change of strategy.

I totally agree with you at the surface, and Microstrategy has been officially saying similar. However, the company is starting to look more and more like a Bitcoin ETF. The CEO is out promoting bitcoin much more than his company's se

Microstrategy is not storing their own bitcoin. There are well respected custody solutions available these days. Execution is outsourced and insured, Microstrategy is bearing very little of that risk.

The word "risk" is overloaded in finance, unfortunately. Your usage is not affected by the price being near all time highs. The parent's use is affected.

Did investors really sell because of this news? It just so happened that bitcoin dropped about 5% on the same day. Microstrategy is quickly turning into a defacto bitcoin ETF. Maybe the bitcoin price drop had something to do with the stoc

I don't really understand the focus on the 20% thing. I have worked at different sized tech companies, from startup to medium sized, to giant. And I have worked in several capacities, from line engineer, to middle manager, to directo

A functional coding technique is strictly more powerful. Say we want to reuse your cat search code. Sometimes we want to log it, and sometimes we want to export it as a different data structure. You could write a function that took a compa

In addition, it is more dependant on modern supply chains. Modern farms are already pretty dependant to get their yields. We should think long and hard if we want a long term power outage to cause food shortages.

Then instead of a camera, display it in VR goggles. Allows you to walk around and see a landmark without all those pesky people ruining your view. You can use the PhotoSynth tech described above.

After watching that video: Why did no one build the application that tied your personal photos with a global database of all the other public photos taken in the same place? Seems like it would have been an amazing application.

Interesting. If we are being pedantic, I can't resist: While technically an abbreviation as well, most would call that an acronym.
