I am an honorably discharged veteran.

I have a degree in History. I also have a degree in Political Science. I also have a Master's. I'm almost done with my Ph.D.

I have worked for over 30 years in a role of public service.

I find nothing; absolutely nothing, "LOL" about Bitcoin.

Is this the more refined version of "what did you say to me, bitch"?

Yeah, pretty much the one original idea they had was 'make an electric car and market it as a cool badass thing for men instead of weird hippie poo poo' which is still kind of a stupid idea but it worked.

I watched a "best ev cars of 2021" the other day, and tesla took the first place. because of mileage? Idk you could argue everything on youtube is advertising, but the guy sounded british so whatever.

Crypto-assets are fundamentally different from central bank money: their prices are volatile because they lack any stable value and there is no reliable institution backing them. People using a digital euro would have the same level of confidence as with cash, since they are both backed by a central bank, which is something crypto-assets such as stablecoins cannot provide.

Meh.

If you also live in Germany and want to get rid of bitcoins, here's a map of companies accepting them:



No, it won't show more markers if you zoom in.

Frankfurt because finance, Dresden and Leipzig because hipster, but Mannheim? Because of its proximity to Frankfurt?

This is an Ethereum mining farm though (GPUs stopped being fast enough for Bitcoin mining years ago), and Ethereum is in the process of moving away from GPU mining. It is a fire sale.

I got curious about NFTs and checked out rarible and opensea, to see how the process works and what their cut is. The hosed up thing I didn't realize is, you have to pay upwards of $100 to register your "art" on the chain, or it's not showing up on the site. So if you thought you could sell cute crap for $5 bucks, well, think again. Teh house always wins.
