Please purchase shares of my regularly-"audited" cryptocurrency index fund. I assure you that the transaction fees are very reasonable e: also consider purchasing crypto shorts, but the transaction fees are a complete ripoff Hello Sailor fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Mar 9, 2021 |

Agree, and I'm personally not that brave at all, all my investments are target date funds and s&p. But I'm not invested (lol) in hating Bitcoin, so I have a grudging respect for the people who made bank off of it. Also, in my extremely limited investing knowledge I can already see that trying to rationally explain and predict the market is an incredibly irrational exercise in futility. I think the Bitcoin ship has long sailed, unless it crashes hard again. If I was to get brave I'd start investing in individual stocks, those often have pretty meteoric rises even if it's nothing comparable to Bitcoin.

People used to make fun of the nerds who collected Pokémon cards and called it an investment. What now, jocks? What now?

I spent about $600 dollars on mining equipment a few years ago (burstcoin) and made absolutely nothing on it Jokes on them though because I made a kicking rad NAS out of the harddrives I used for it that I use to serve my TV and movies.

If people who died on Everest were resurrected with superpowers, but it was only a tiny sliver of people who fell off and hit the same exact 4 cliffs on their way down, I wouldn't exactly be lining up to climb Everest in the pursuit of superpowers Even among the tiny group known as "coiners", it was not "an incredible investment" for most. If you were a coiner in 2013-2014, you probably got robbed! If you were a coiner in Canada in 2018, you probably got robbed! If you went to the first bitcoin conference, you probably got robbed! I could do this all day.

Current NFTs are severely flawed because the ownership chain is separated from the actual art asset. If the hosting goes down you effectively have a certificate of ownership for an art asset that you don't actually have. It's just a link to nowhere. Future versions might weave the ownership and art into the same entry.

It's not an investment, it's a gamble. It might seem like an investment but the only investing is in the possibility of the price going up. Commonly called gambling.

Liquid Communism posted:And still provide nothing of value at enormous waste of resources. Sports and concert ticket sellers are researching NFTs because they can collect fees from each resale or ban resale completely if they choose. Relatively, there's just a handful of weirdos buying NFT stuff right now. Stadiums and concert venues sell billions of tickets a year in non-covid times and some early adopters have already started minting NFT tickets. In theory all this stuff could be done through a harmless non-mined token but we live in the stupidest possible future so probably 4% of global electrical output will be used for event tickets.

i have so much more respect, like orders of magnitude, for anyone who says "yeah I bought an NFT cause I just wanna gamble" than I do someone who tries to rationally justify why it's a good investment and has value

Waltzing Along posted:This plus now tether has the BTC. It's like going to an amusement park and buying Disney Bucks or whatever is sold there. Now you have the exact same value that can only be used in one place. I still have a Crown Royal bag full of shiny Chuck-E-Cheese tokens and polyhedral dice for GM’ing a Gamma World campaign from the last two years in high school (47 now). I used about 50 of them when my (ex)wife and I took my six year old’s friends to his birthday party in a completely different city (he’s 21)! I probably have more (legal) use from them than the entire BTC economy because you can’t play Donkey Kong or Skee-ball with Butts.

If the hosting goes down you effectively have a certificate of ownership for an art asset that you don't actually have. It's just a link to nowhere. So you can download the blockchain and get tons of free stuff? Sounds good. strange feelings re Daisy posted:Well yeah, that too. Most NFT trades ultimately link back to Ethereum and that is going to be a problem for both environmental and practical reasons. How do NFTs prevent reselling at all? You don't need to resell on the Blockchain. And if you don't want your tickets to be resalable, check IDs. You need to do that either way, with or without NFTs to prevent reselling.

Food in the UK is terrible with some minor exceptions for locally-sourced seafood and wild game. My experience with the restaurant in question is positive. I went once after Norwegian family friends insisted that this one near a train station had delicious ribs. And they did! No idea if they accepted Bitcoin at the time.
