yeah lets back the real world economy with giant ponzi schemes, good thinking chief.

It's bitfinexed so probably yes.

That said bitfinexed will likely say that everything in crypto is a scam, not just ftx. And I'd agree!

Their main focus is the tether scam though.

It's fifteen years since bitcoin came out. Why are you still pretending that it's early? It's absolutely not early anymore.

Couldn't possibly have had better timing considering web3 is so in right now.

It's not new it's nearly fifteen years old.

Why are you still pretending it's new????

You are completely wrong.

The recent story of the crypto industry is that everyone has been leveraging up hard on a negative sum game.

Therefore the expectation has to be that almost everybody is insolvent, but most of them haven't been found out yet.

It seems reasonable to expect both tether and binance to implode over the next few years, but it's hard to predict exactly when.

As far as adoption goes, blockchain tech is practically useless and has gone nowhere in 14 years. There is no reason to expect that to change, so for all intents and purposes real crypto use (outside of crime and speculation) will remain as basically nothing and no industry anywhere will be 'disrupted' by it.

The price will randomly go up and down and more people will continue to get hooked into different scams. Crypto is here to stay in the same way that pyramid schemes and timeshares are here to stay.

FTX collapsing is the optimistic case. I hope they take the rest of the crypto "space" with them.

Yes

ohhhhh I didn't know this. I've seen these complaints from Americans about cursive a million times and I never understood why writing with joined up letters was so hard.

They don't do the same things?

No.

This is a cool idea, I've wanted to find a Rust project for a while and regenerating my own site (which uses jekyll) might not be a bad idea too. Every time I come back to mine it never works because it always complains about the wrong ruby library versions being installed.

I'm pretty sure at this point the majority of crypto "investors" are underwater.

Well, sure. But this thread has nothing to do with the US, right?

The SEC has no responsibility to save them from their own dumb trades

I was there too and basically nobody said that. Crypto being "like the early internet" and "people said that the web was a waste of time too!" are the biggest crypto lies ever told and repeated. Absolute whoppers.

This claim won't be true anymore very soon!

I don't know whether its attempted satire or not - but I unironically agree with it 100%.

It removes everything in the current directory

It's perfect until you do a lot of nesting..

the third time the statement is there three times ..

Because the number won't go up if we don't decentralise it duh

Nah you're probably just wrong. Generally speaking it's the older more experienced developers who demand typescript in my experience.

Writing raw javascript is genuinely painful, I literally don't understand how people can even do it. Like, how do you even refactor code safely?

Perhaps it's not that they've been influenced into becoming trans, but that more people than we knew were already trans, but didn't have the confidence to show it because society was so unaccepting?

I think you've got cause and effect mixed up here.

I am so unbelievably sick of hearing this from bitcoiners.

It just isn't true. At all. There is zero comparison to be made between crypto and the early Internet, its incredibly dishonest.

"obsolete". The way you guys talk was funny at first but now it's plain sad.

I hope your funbux go to zero.

Crypto markets are manipulated AF, nobody knows how much the "real" volume is.

I've been doing front-end work recently and absolutely hate it. It constantly feels like I'm developing on quicksand where I can't trust the layers below me.

But I think web development has actually improved a lot. Frankly 10 years ago it was even worse.

Had we chucked Javascript in the bin a decade or two ago and built something new from scratch we'd probably be better off for it.
