FMguru posted:they were supposedly spending $10bn/year on metaverse /vr stuff and that division supposedly had 18000 employees I have a feeling that at least some of this current crash is from places like Meta being expected to do layoffs and causing the tech bros to, if not sell for USD, at least stop putting more money into crypto.

Mr. Nice! posted:ransomware dried up since russia locked itself away from the world's internet and as a result crypto volume cratered and a few cashouts plus people running arbitrage attacks against dumb contracts have caused prices to plummet and a lot of idiots to have massive losses. eh i think this is probably wrong crypto has become insanely correlated with the nasdaq because it's the same speculative bubble. interest rates were zero, people were looking for returns, they piled into dumber and dumber poo poo. now that interest rates are rising and those bubbles are popping, crypto is as well.

quote:My retired dad and my close to retirement mom have been hinting that they want me to get them into crypto over the past year. I’ve been reluctant to help in the midst of a raging bull market. Now that we’ve had a pretty consistent downturn Im willing to start helping them dollar cost average. My parents are fairly anti-tech and don’t even use online banking. Naturally my dad‘s reluctant to open a Coinbase account. If I were to buy bitcoin for them and send it to a cold wallet, how would this work down the road if and when they realize profit? quote:Don't! quote:Nope. Dont. quote:If you love them, don’t. quote:People saying "don't" are "investors" who are in the business of trying to make more fiat.

Hammerite posted:doing what? they had that many people making "second life, but not fun"? quote:It’s unclear if people will find AR glasses useful in the next few years. Similar products from Microsoft, Snap and others are far from mainstream. And the stakes couldn’t be higher for Meta. Its division making metaverse hardware and related software has swelled to roughly 18,000 people, costing the company $10 billion last year alone. To build the glasses and future VR hardware, Meta has aggressively poached from Microsoft, Apple, Google, and others, driving up the price of talent across the industry.

good pitch, definitely get all excited to do it and explain to your parents that you can't ever actually get money back out because it's not about that and see how enthusiastic they are to hand over their savings after that

genuine question, if an ape is "worth" $1000 then ether drops by 50%, is it now worth twice as much ether, or is it worth $500?
