also I wrote up that Flexa Chipotle thing from this thread a coupla days ago, with added detail.

“The legacy payment systems are complicated and costly,” Flexa CEO Tyler Spalding actually dared loving say.

Good going man, you're fighting the good fight.

It still makes me mad that the current affairs shows try to "both sides" the worth of crypto, and that all the crypto supporters they interview are driving sports cars and living in mansions. The 60 minutes clip seemed to suggest that they'd interviewed crypto-Zangief at crypto's peak last year and my strong bet is that it wouldn't have been nearly as sceptical as it should have been.

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

It honestly could be if there’s a relatively low volume of trading. I’m those circumstances a single large-ish buy order can spike things like that as they clear out the lower priced sell orders. Say you’ve got 10 things on an exchange with 4 at a $100 sell, 2 at $110, and four more at $140. If someone comes along who thinks they need that at any price and buys seven, you’ll see a sharp spike to $140.

Now, if trade volume is that low it’s not exactly speaking volumes about the health of bitcoin either.

Is this particularly meaningful? This would only be the real exchange rate if Celsius dumped all their stETH into this one liquidity pool all at once:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PbZMudPP5E
As I understand it, the liquid pool algorithmically increases the price exponentially as the pool becomes more and more unbalanced, and this is to incentivise folks to take the other side of the trade to rebalance the pool. This doesn't seem like the only place you can exchange stETH either.

I don't know how it works with standard financial assets but if a big bank just dumped all their assets at once on one exchange they'd take a huge haircut also? The only difference is that you can calculate it because the pool's algorithm is public.

The difference is if there's a run on your bank the feds have the assets backed up.

The best part of that is how his entire use case is making mortgages much faster to get. Rather than going to BofA and filling out all this paperwork that takes days, you just put it on the blockchain and wham bam you've got yourself a mortgage.

. . . only the reason it takes a long time is that the bank wants to do their due diligence to make sure that A) the underlying asset is what you say it is and that it's worth what you say it is and b) that you actually own the thing you're taking the mortgage out against.

In other words if we somehow ended up in a world where crypto bros were giving out mortgages based on an NFT of your house, they're going to get the poo poo scammed out of them in a million ways that the actual mortgage industry has spent literal centuries building tools to protect them from. Even setting aside the obvious fraud of you not actually owning that property, how the gently caress are they going to check that the house you claim is worth $500k is actually worth $500k (in good repair, has the interior finish and trim you say it does, etc) and isn't a dilapidated crack house that might have looked that way ten years ago but is now a tear down worth the $200k that the lot it's built on will sell for. Maybe less because the current condemned shack needs to be torn down and that costs money.

I mean, the answer is they send someone out there they trust to assess the value of the house and say "yeah, it's worth $500k" but congrats we're back to filling out paperwork and waiting days for approval because *gasp* now the lender is doing their due diligence and not just blindly loaning cash.
