I almost feel sorry for Folding@Home, though I quit doing that once I realized if it helped some pharma company find a treatment for cancer, they'd just charge me a million dollars for it anyway.

Actually it seems to be just one guy who spams the sub with multiple accounts.
He tried to cash out over 20k of Monero proceeds on an unverified account linked to a throwaway email, connected through an open VPN and naturally was shocked to be redflagged :rolleyes:

I might have been looking at this the wrong way. All these people trained to HODL make profiting off them extremely easy. Instead of an aggressive trading environment where people are covering their rear end at all times, you have a bunch of passed out drunks. While they HODL in the slow eventual decline of crypto, you can trade the volatility and make money off them.

Probably. Lots of criminals make bank. Kidnappers usually get paid and walk away with the ransom.

Yep. There were a lot of smart online drug dealers who sold all the btc they were holding at 19k+. The darknet scene is kind of in chaos right now because of that, some of the biggest, most long-term vendors have cashed out and announced that they are retiring from the business. (Like every other frustrated English major, I want to write a book.)

So last night I started paper trading GDAX on tradingview, starting with 100K

This poo poo seems really easy, GDAX lags behind korean market movements by like 10 seconds which makes it super predictable. I think GDAX traders just sit there and stare at the depth chart or something. I was doing 10:1 margin but even without margin, that is 24% gain. Maybe I'll try my luck at the real thing..too bad no real exchanges offer margin trading. Forex sounds kind of appealing right now

Kraken offers margin trading up to 5x. It's okay as far as exchanges go. Bitmex has up to 100x if you're feeling spicy.

FUD is a classic thought-terminating cliche. Originally it meant disinformation but then the definition expanded to include every criticism or negative prediction.

Buttcoins are a completely hype-backed investment, so anything with a possible negative effect on the value needs to be labeled as such by vigilant true believers or people might question their belief in the hype.

Transfered $100 to Kraken, made about 14 5x margin trades, left with $100. gently caress that site, everything eaten up by fees/spreads and mysterious market-order lags. Is anything related to crypto not a huge loving scam?
