But I'll let you know if this company ICOs; the founder said that if/when it happens they'll make it worth my while to rock a mullet, handlebar, and hawaiian shirt for a year straight.

Buying avatars is a kind of donation to SA. And we need this website to survive so that we can continue to make fun of bitcoin here as it slowly eats the planet and reduces us all to paper clips.

Maybe I should have pissed someone off online to get an avatar on this site for free. I had to wander into an Avatar thread and get assigned a blue person to escape my newbie life.

I connect the red thread from "coiners" to "cops" on my wall. I see the patterns.

Content: a good friend of mine told me yesterday they were looking at doing coin poo poo and asked if I was. I attempted to tell them just how bad of an idea it is and why, as well as why I never will. I don't think I changed their mind, but I think that has more to do with them having their mind set on it anyway.

I really hope they don't do the poo poo.

Many people don't want to use exchanges because of the technical complexity, risk, and obscurity. The ability to buy through a bank will trigger more adoption.

quote:

For the first time, customers of some U.S. banks will soon be able to buy, hold and sell bitcoin through their existing accounts, according to crypto custody firm NYDIG.

The company, a subsidiary of $10 billion New York-based asset manager Stone Ridge, has partnered with fintech giant Fidelity National Information Services to enable U.S. banks to offer bitcoin in coming months, according to the two firms.

Many people don't want to use exchanges because crypto is an idiotic scam. And that article you posted is full of the same self-promoting blather we've seen about credit card companies and big banks going to start using crypto, like really soon, it's just around the corner, totally about to happen, please subscribe to my newsletter buy stock in my company. Although the bit about the next step being an FDIC-insured account that pays interest in Bitcoin was pretty funny.

You just need the SSDs to get things seeded, you’re supposed to offload them to big storage drives after that.

So yeah if it goes anywhere it’s going to make both types more expensive.


Just have 32+ HDD sitting there and having to explain that they are doing literally nothing but still running.
And maybe you can have 5%..4%...3%...2%..1%... chance of getting a chia that no-one can use and which will be worthless in a few months.

There will be a whole bunch of 2nd hand lightly used drives available soon though.

Use this if anyone out there wants to try mining it remembering the network size is growing exponentially and the price per coin is falling.

Still lollin that 10 years later goons are still fervently claiming that bitcoin is doomed and will fail any day now, after it went from less than a dollar to 60,000.

Some of y'all are going to reach ecstasy nirvana when it finally craters, a new state of bliss hitherto thought impossible for a mere human to reach. But the blockchain made it possible.

Bitcoin is still only worth anything when its sold for a national currency. If the dollar or any other currency collapsed tomorrow then Bitcoin would be useless. Like most things its totally reliant on real world money to be worth anything.

The problem is that crypto is worthless, which means that there is no upper or lower ceiling on the value people can place on it. The speculative value of real things like goods and resources can be under or over valued, but if people need to actually use that resource then there's only so high its speculative value can go before it completely fucks with the market supporting that valuation. The only thing holding crypto back is how many rubes you can wallet inspect at any given time.
