Seems you were just lucky to skip the worst ones. 3 was especially bad and the newest Pixel 6 has an absolutely enormous amount of various issues since release, it's been all over tech media: https://www.techradar.com/news/pixel-6-problems-continue-and-this-time-its-the-selfie-camera Made me switch to Samsung (whose bloatware OS I hate) after like a decade of pure stock Android. Anyway, the cryptophone is for sure better then all these pretenders. It looks like it stores the whole blockchain and your wallet and keys inside on internal memory? Didn't we already have many stories of sad bitcoiners spending weeks in municipal dumps looking for their hard drives? Now if you lose your phone you're gonna lose your own bank too? I'm pretty sure it will be like the Freedom phone where they buy bulk $100 Chinese no brand smartphones off Alibaba and resell them for $800 to idiots.

Is 20k (even though it’s 19.6k as of posting) good for all of us as a number to stay at? I know there’s certain numbers that small time miners can tolerate vs big ones, and for different periods of time. I can’t imagine btc will die any time soon but if it’s unprofitable for GPU miners and dumb Texans that’s good enough for me.

My wife and I have had the Pixel 3 since they came out and other than replacing the batteries which wasn't particularly difficult I haven't had any problems. I'd put lineage os on mine and keep going if we hadn't gotten them from Verizon with locked bootloaders. I want a fairphone but they're not available in the US.

Trying to keep on topic. Here’s Matt levine’s story on three arrows founders refusing to cooperate with their liquidators and also telling them via tweet that they can hold value in the liquidation by buying another cryptocurrency. Just the worst of the worst. quote:Representatives tapped to liquidate Three Arrows by a British Virgin Islands judge had “not yet received any meaningful cooperation” from Kyle Davies and Zhu Su, lawyers said in US bankruptcy court filings. Advisory firm Teneo is attempting to round up and preserve the assets of the hedge fund. …

It's the whole reason Ethereum exists. I figure you're just talking about cryptocurrency in general though.

Mining profitability is based on how many other people are mining anyway, so it will continue to happen no matter how these cryptocurrencies cost--it's just a matter of how much mining they can support at any given price. If Ethereum dropped down to $500 and stayed there, you'd see over half the current miners give up most likely, but there'd still be too much miner demand for new cards to my taste.Space Fish posted:Google phone user over here, have owned a Nexus 4, 5X, Pixel 1, 2, and 5, and have not experienced any of the issues y'all are talking about. Maybe the Pixel 3(a)(XL) is the issue? Got a Pixel 5a with their $9-a-month 2-year subscription (so, $216), and so far I've had zero complaints, though my needs are very simple. They'll send me a 7a once that comes out apparently, but I may just cancel the subscription at that point and keep the 5a for another couple years. I had a Pixel 2 for four years before the 5a and I liked that too, even if I was struggling with a rapidly dying battery by the end. I would've just replaced the battery and kept that phone going if i had more confidence in smartphone repairs. (especially since the 5a isn't really that much more capable)

I have a theory, which is what if we do the technical poo poo and double bottom (lowest price hit twice) where we did last cycle? Where BTC bottomed at $4k? Or maybe bring it down to $2k, where celsius and probably Saylor will also liquidate? Either way would work.

The best get-rich scheme right now is to simply buy lots of bitcoin when it dips below $20K and sell once it goes above. If you're a day trader you can absolutely clean up right now, or just have a bot do this trade for you. "No risk".

Yeah I think maybe that's a bad idea given transaction delays and gas fees, and also given how much of the sales to boost it above 20k are likely just wash trading

Also, the exchanges are corrupt and can absolutely jigger the timing of your trades so you take the losses. I am in fact quite sure they have positioned themselves to take the other end of that particular churn. If they haven't, they're not just greedy, they're stupid.

It was the "Let's do ten cool features, then gently caress up something so basic it renders the phone a nightmare". My Pixel 4 nightmare is that the glue holding the back wore out and the entire backplate of the phone fell off. I finally gave up and got an S21 Ultra, which served me well, not least of which because the cameras are actually pretty nice. Not "completely replace my Micro 4/3" nice, but nice enough that I don't worry about bringing it as much.

My personal phone is a OnePlus. I'm a sucker for OnePlus because they are the most bang for bucks in terms of raw processing power. Work makes us use a Samsung A52 and the experience is kind of nicer there. Sometimes my OnePlus has the odd jank that the Samsung never has. Camera is nicer. Screen, too. But maybe it would also feel bankier if I had a million apps and connected devices running on the Samsung. Anyhow that's my smartphone chat contribution. Don't buy flagships they're dumb.
