Can someone explain why Binance is making blockchains within blockchains with their BEP-20 thing and how it has lower transaction fees than the root ETH it's running on? Like don't all the transactions that happen in BEP-20 have to run through two blockchains to get approved, making it like doubly expensive? Yet it's like 1/100th the cost for a transaction???

I've gotta be missing something here.

And what the gently caress is PancakeSwap? What the gently caress are they even trading?

The last time I looked at crypto was like 4 years ago and this poo poo is just loving dumb.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

quote:

PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange for swapping BEP20 tokens on Binance Smart Chain. PancakeSwap uses an automated market maker (AMM) model where users trade against a liquidity pool. Such pools are filled with users’ funds. They deposit them into the pool, receiving liquidity provider (or LP) tokens in return. They can use those tokens to reclaim their share, plus a portion of the trading fees.

The LP tokens are called FLIP tokens. PancakeSwap also allows users to farm additional tokens – CAKE and SYRUP. On the farm, users can deposit LP tokens, locking them up in a process that rewards users with CAKE. Users can stake CAKE tokens to receive SYRUP, which will have further functionality as governance tokens (and as tickets in a lotteries).
Just type in any common noun and someone has turned it into some kind of completely insane crypto concept.

if ten people each spend a thousand bucks on lottery tickets and one of them hits the million, it's still a pretty fuckin stupid plan to spend a grand on lottos

Buying bitcoin is always stupid, hth. The entire price right now is entirely propped up by market manipulation by tether and the exchanges. Why do you think coin base is trying to do an ipo? It’s because it’s the only way they get real money that isn’t going to be seized for some kind of fraud scheme out of this.

You really, genuinely believe that something who’s value comes entirely from its enforced scarcity, who’s price is dictated on unregulated exchanges who manipulate the price for their own benefit, is a good “investment”?

I don't regret not buying, I regret not running it on a lark back when I first heard about it and generating a couple coins. At the same time I also harbor no illusion that under my absolute best case scenario I would have liquidated when they hit like, a dollar a coin and that in a more real scenario I'd have forgotten the password or been robbed long before I ever saw a dime.

The problem with Bitcoin has never been that there is no money to be made

The problem with Bitcoin is that if you had bought in when Bitcoin first appeared on these forums, you would have likely lost your bitcoins in the 10 years since thanks to poo poo like mtgox crashing and all the theft and all the hacking and all the stupid poo poo that surrounds the internet funbux.

I know all this but at some point its going to be a million bucks because of its decentralized ponzi nature plus human greed.

The only reason I say that is because I have a coworker who buys a little buttcoin each month, no matter the cost. It has worked out pretty well for him so far. Its probably dumb but he is way ahead over just buying stocks. He has been doing it for like the past four years or so.

I'll grant buttcoiners that you can apparently profit by investing in a purely speculative asset whose only value derives from artificial scarcity and capital not having enough tangible assets to invest in. I'm pretty sure that's not the utopian vision that they originally sold crypto as, but hey, some people can make money off it.

The truth is that Bitcoin is dumb and we all could have made good money anyway if we'd bought in a little bit at 30 or 300 or 3000. It's not a binary choice between the bitcoin utopianism and bitcoin doomerism. Just because the buttcoiners act like a cult doesn't mean we have to.

Well sure, number go up, but there's an insanely large environmental impact directly related to it, with nothing positive in return. And every person in favor of buttcoins ignores that altogether and just goes "ah, but number go up?", as apparently money is the only thing that drives them.

Like, if you were living in Germany in 1942 the equivalent of your post would be "hmm, but my nazi neighbour did just get stolen artwork gifted for all the jews he ratted out... perhaps it is worth it?"

The equivalent of your previous post would be "lol so how many deutsche marks worth of art should be taken from the jews and redistributed before you guys regret not supporting hitler's coup?"

So, sure, talk about solely the potential money gain (which, as others pointed out, is not a 100% certainty thanks to endless scams), but realize that it makes you sound like an enormous antisocial rear end in a top hat.

The people that bet it all on black and won are trying to say that gambling all your money on black is a great idea. Yes, the truth is that if we had picked the right roulette number we would have a lot more money. That doesn't mean we're dumb for not playing.

Bitcoin will come crashing down eventually, almost certainly when tether folds due to being insolvent and operating illegally, at which point the people who realise their “usdt” isn’t redeemable anywhere will likely figure it’s a scam.
