JohnCompany posted:It's perfectly true, so long as you treat the not-a-legal-term there "customer cash" as meaning only holdings in USD at that time. Your cash held at MCB is FDIC insured for as long as it's at MCB. What they fail to say, just like they fail to say "the reason we have $630 million in claims against 3AC is because 3AC doesn't have $630 million to pay them," is that that protection lasts for fractions of a second. When Voyager is taking your cash to buy crypto, or giving you cash because you sold crypto, it has to keep that cash somewhere that's either going into or out of the crypto ecosystem, and than for that brief moment when that cash is still in Voyager's bank account at MCB after it's sent from your bank or before they send it to your bank, it's insured. I don't touch the poop so I can't be sure, but from my understanding you can (could lol) in fact hold regular USD in your account at Voyager, either after you fund it by putting money in, or after you sell stuff. That money was insured in the event of MCB's failure (but, crucially, not Voyager's).

Exactly. If you *only* held USD, you'd be fine. As none of the people do hold USD, welp. This isn't just a sub 20k day. Some folks say 16k, some say 17k are on deck. weekly and monthly technicals are now bearish after this week. It's time for a trip to goblintown. I had fun calling out another "crypto trader expert" for what I called suicide bull, to highlight that these morons will throw money at crypto infinitely as long as they have it in belief that number can only go up. However, for reasons of idiots, we will probably revisit 20.6k at least once on the way down. edit: nice rear end fib rings VVV. truly ghostty worthy.

Isn't Stupid Monkey Seth Green's studio? The one that produces Robot Chicken? Also funny that all of these are .444 eth, because 4 is an unlucky number in japan, pronounced like "death", which is what I wish I was after seeing these loving monkeys.

Neito posted:Isn't Stupid Monkey Seth Green's studio? The one that produces Robot Chicken? Per their website, unrelated to Seth Green it looks like: "Our main team is composed of a 3d model Artist (theDoctor), who took a Master's in an Italian academy, and two developers (DumbestMonkey and NotYetAMonkey), managing the front-end and back-end parts". Their roadmap also states that the sales of these monkeys will fund the development of a metaverse video game where you can play as your monkey. How that will happen without any video game experience on this team is unclear (*rug tension increases*). Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Jul 12, 2022 |

PhazonLink posted:are these two things true and do they do the job even well compared to older methods? Short answer, yes. Crytpocurrency being anonymous and completely outside of international regulatory systems makes it absolutely the best way to collect ransomware money, take payments for illicit activities, outright steal from exchanges, etc. There's a reason North Korea has been really big on stealing crypto lately. Cashing out can be tricky, though - you need to run it through a tumbler, find money mules to cash it out, etc. But you can also just use it directly as currency. Yeah, you lose some along the way, but 1 bird in the hand vs 2 in the bush, etc. Especially if you stole it.

I remember that story IIRC, it was a poo poo that didnt happen story about some french dude visited a lady in some small vilage in brazil but they were nudest who slept in bunk bed naked and he jacked off and the cum stain implied he did something bad, and the dad did a virginity check of his daughter on the dining table. The author claimed he was able to escape with a taxi to the airport and pay for it with bitcoin. And the redditor debunked the story due to the locations and airports not matching up. Remember there was another bitcoin adaptor who wanted to buy tail spine. That dank dude who ran a ponzi scheme Remember bit gem that website where you could but a bitjem but made money by selling to the bigger fool that weird dude that had the bitcoin show and turned out to be a sex tourist.

It was the little sister of the girl he came to meet, who was most likely underage. The story was that he was not allowed to sleep in the same bed as his online girlfriend because of her weird parents, so they put him into a bed, with her younger sister instead (who slept naked). The dumb part of this probably fake story was all other bitcoiners exclaiming in comments about how great bitcoin is now, glossing over the sexual assault (of a minor). Anyway probably not worth digging up this early bitcoin lore garbage to confirm the exact story. EDIT: confirmed above now Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jul 12, 2022 |
