$10 transaction fees are a thing of the past, noted criminal-in-exile Roger Ver recently released some data showing 28000 different btc transactions where the sender paid more than $1000 as fees

Just so you know, if you enter a digit wrong it doesn't go through. It's not like the money gets sent somewhere else, it simply doesn't get sent. Bitcoin is very resistant to typos because the addresses contain a built-in check code. So if you had simply mistyped a few of the letters or numbers in the address, it's extremely unlikely the client would let you complete a transaction with an incorrect address. You'd have to paste in another working address.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding about the blockchain. It is is no way anonymous.

It’s fascinating how FC admits he doesn’t know anything about finance or investing, yet immediately has the hubris to think he’s the smartest one in the room on said subject.

Is there a general psychology term for this sort of phenomenon?

If you choose to believe bitcoin is a ponzi/pyramid scheme that's fine, but that's simply not the case. Sorry, but I'm not going to engage with you about this as I (and others) have already addressed those arguments in this thread.

Does anyone still do ICOs, or did regulators firmly put a stop to what was a naked attempt at doing an unvetted IPOs "on blockchains"?

I think it's unfair to compare one crypto to the entirety of global banking. You'd compare the entire crypto economy's capabilities to it if you were interested in a fair comparison.

Wtf makes you think we all read Reddit and I’m not reading that wall of text. Jfc

quote:

Eventually one of the guys spoke up and I thought he was Greek, but he spoke English perfectly so he may have not been. He said he knew what anarcho-capitalism was and that we were basically fascists. He asked me if I thought everything should be private. And I said yes. And he asked me if I thought people were unequal. And I told him yes. And that not everyone would have equal rights. I said everyone has the right to own property and not be done aggression against. But that not everyone had to be treated equally by the owners. He said what about immigrants and racism. And I said that would not happen in a free market, but yes property owners could be racist if they wanted to. They had to respect property.

Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.

I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.

So they initiated force and theft. They broke the NAP. I knew the left anarchists were not real anarchists, but I never knew they would do something that bad.

it's cryptography magic that allows you to do math on numbers and everyone can verify the math is correct but only the recipient can see the actual numbers

and bulletproofs are faster and smaller in size than other implementations

it's used by monero, the number one way to launder your ill gotten crypto gains

Is this thing where some people pretend they've never heard of the word "cryptography" really still going on? It's never been funny.

Hmm? No, I wanted to help develop a project in the naive theory it would work out. Why would it be assumed I wanted to rug?

No. I have a decade of looking at charts and reports, from IT work as a network engineer/monitoring engineer and so on. It's not all that weird to look at charts and trends for any other asset classes, but it's not like technical analysis is anything but hated by most people anyway. Not everyone does some ghostty garbage, and it's not going to magically make fortunes. In the end, it's about 90% math applied to statistical data. If you don't like technical analysis then I bet you really don't like when people apply moving averages to covid statistics, either.
