I will hop on that gravy train as well.

I am thoroughly addicted to nostr. I've been building a browser extension for Safari for it, and I feel like I'm part of something amazing being built.

Damus is great and my client of choice. However, the TestFlight beta might still be filled up. If it is, I would recommend pairing a web client with an extension like nos2x/alby (chrome/firefox) or nostore (Safari).

https://www.nostr.directory This tool lets you broadcast your pub key on twitter using a specified format, and the app will add you to the directory, and you can use it to find others that have also done that. Also, if you go to

What are you getting at, exactly? Are you implying they don't need to fire these people, they just want to? Or are you saying they think they need it, but they really don't?

I don’t think this one example they provided is indicative. Didn’t the BIS just give their okay for banks to hold 2% of reserves in Bitcoin? Also, didn’t FASB just change their accounting rules to make businesses holding crypto easier on th

They have managed to concoct a system where people have locked billions in staking while keeping only a tiny fraction of their own Eth staked. Vitalik’s addresses have sold tens of millions while all these users have staked with no way out

Swan Bitcoin is a service for buying Bitcoin, an asset that they do not control or have any influence over. Not remotely the same thing as pumping and dumping token after token.

Never trust a project with its own token.

The simple answer to this is to pay less attention to driving!

I have to say, I think nostr shows a lot of promise. I think there is something special there.

Sorry, I did not mean to insinuate anything resembling cover for these stablecoins. I do not own any and I never would. In fact, I only own Bitcoin and I don’t keep any on any exchange at all. This is the only way I would ever recommend whe

I think that is a fair critique, but that will be coming at some point, very likely. Either a law requiring 100% liquid reserves, or a law bringing them into the FDIC system.

It’s not really any less of a dollar than any other dollar is. All of our digital dollars are just bank liabilities. Circle and Tether are just banks with dollar liabilities. Their liabilities can be transferred on crypto networks rather th

No, think of it like burning oil. Imagine it took >1 barrel of oil's worth of energy to burn a barrel of oil. That would be inefficient. So, we're trying to find solutions to trigger that burning with less input energy. They&#x

Joe Biden was a lifelong U.S. Senator, Vice President and a Presidential candidate. They were providing lists of people to silence, just weeks before he was elected as President. And you're arguing that because he was TECHNICALLY a pri

I think it's a blatant first amendment violation. Twitter are acting as agents to state to silence individuals. The federal government cannot pick and choose who gets to speak.

There are some subjects for which it is not possible to have a productive discussion at all anywhere, and this is one of them. This is an ideological difference so strong that it makes it difficult for the opposing views to even share a soc

I would argue it's not necessarily a problem to have liabilities for which you do not have assets on hand, whether it's Bitcoin or some security. The difference between these two situations is: 1) FTX didn't even bother listi

This is like pretending there’s no difference between USD and Turkish Lira. There are substantial and material differences between Bitcoin and nearly all other cryptocurrencies.

by rufusroflpunch 4y ago
It matters a bit, as it seemed that FTX had $1+ billion in Bitcoin customer liabilities which have evaporated.

Hopefully it is just a matter of them still trying to figure out the depth and nature of the crimes.

Crypto is a tiny, tiny fraction of global ponzi markets like government bonds or real estate. There is not nearly enough liquidity in crypto to make a difference in those.

These things come in waves. Every cycle is the same: People come in for the gains and pump and dumps, then they get wrecked when the tide goes out. Some of them learn their lesson and move from a trading model to a savings model. They withd

In Lebanon, people are robbing banks to get their own money out. Maybe they are a little bit more comfortable than you are with holding keys to an unseizable asset.
