Let's ask the expert: @CarlBMenger
😂
In theory yes. In practice no because at an auction the price goes down / interest up until there is a sucker that takes the bet.
You can see this with junk bond from crappy companies. At some point the risk/reward is closer to a lottery bet and almost always someone is willing to gamble (until one day nobody is anymore ofc...)
They don't buy at auction tho. They only buy secondary on the market.
Although that's only a technicality. Entities can buy at auction knowing the fed will eat it up anyways when they sell...
Not everything bad is connected to uou favorite moron theory 🤣🤣
Sometimes bad things happen unrelatedly
The 4th dimension besides the 3 space dimensions.
Maybe it's identical to the other space dimension and it's only the human perception that experience this one differently 🤔
Very few people deny meat is part of a healthy diet. That's a tiny vocal minority from the vegan community. Probably an imagined adversary in your head 😂😂
But put some fruit and vegetables to it, bc fiber & vitamins 👍🏻👍🏻
Writing down stuff, thoughts notes and archiving them digitally. Unexpected usefull.
With personal AI approaching FAST it'll be an insane unexpected advantage in my life.
Remember how Obsidian made advertisements about "second brain"? I'll actually get that.
If something in the financial plumbing of the system breaks (e.g. another Lehman moment) before the inflation fell they will HAVE TO decide between inflation and saving the fundamental structure of the system.
Imagine someone at a Bitcoin meetup was to exchange fiat for Bitcoin and vice versa ↔️
What margin above/below spot would you expect? It can't be zero because onchain fees and the kyc-freeness is more valuable. But it would of course be cheaper than on those online p2p exchanges.
I bet there is a physics reason for this that we haven't discovered yet.
Some weird quirk with gravity and speed/impulse that nudged the moon exactly to that distance away. Idk - maybe we'll find an explanation in a few years or decades
I think the best athletes ever always live right now.👇🏻
- Medicine and food is always better than it was in the previous generation
- Biggest most important point: more people than ever on earth don't live in poverty and hunger anymore. There is the biggest competition ever and the biggest talent pool ever
- Don't underestimate: Technology. Every sport can take advantage of computer analysis and big screens for analyzing stuff
Does someone know a website/tool to deanonymize Bitcoin transactions?
I know that the act of looking it up with my ip adress already changes the anonymity. I'd use Tor and look up a few dozen unrelated utxos as well
Oh, that sounds interesting. What coinjoins really need are the biggest possible userbase. This one could deliver that when wallets support it 🧐
Small thing that pops to mind to people who read this:
If your employer doesn't allow "homeoffice" from other countries, you can just do it anyway by setting up a vpn at home. Just vpn from foreign country back to your appartment home.
What is the meaning of the word "propaganda"? I thought propaganda is when a small group has an outsized influence that isn't in proportion to the groups size. If there are actual people that have an opinion it's more ”discourse" or ”opinion” than "propaganda".
Tbf, I don't actually know if ordinal advocates are actually real. I have never met one in real life. So I don't want to defend them - just asking the question if it's real?
Anybody else feel nothing anymore?
Like 2 years ago I would have been euphoric for every new idea or new cryptographic scheme planned for L2 Bitcoin layers. I'd have gone down the rabbit hole for hours.
But now it's just dread. I want new ideas, I want that the best solution mcguffin comes. But it's just not exciting anymore, even when the BTC/USD exchange rate is at all time highs. Anyone else?
This has nothing to do with libertarians, ask this question literally everybody.
I have no problem with conspiracy theories in general. But I guess a lot of them aren't about the idea itself at all - they're just people wanting attention and be provocative and getting a feeling of self worth out of it "I am smart, other people are not" 🤓☝🏻 You can recognize people like that because they'll always 1-up all the time to stay special
