Where is your proof that Gemini is insolvent?

Your friends sound like degenerate gamblers. What does that have to do with having a balanced portfolio with a percentage in crypto? More people are going to do this.

Investing in crypto doesn’t mean having all your wealth in it.

Are there countries that don’t have securities laws?

> They're slowly going from Ive's minimalist artistic designs back to useful computing devices and user interfaces.

Is this a subtle attack on USB-C?

44 trackers and ads blocked by Brave.

In the third world sometimes the maintenance is just as bad as the construction. Does this person know what they are doing? Well, we are going to find out.

Your argument is that at some point growth stops or stagnates. But most people in the world don't hold cryptocurrency -- yet they know about it. It's a huge market. And that market will be tapped by marketers and advertisers.

> BTC makes no profits. In fact, the entire BTC system consumes tons of electricity constantly. So we can see that moving BTC around costs real resources, but no one seems to have explained to me where "money comes from", aside from a greater-fool.

Transaction fees.

Craigslist had 50 employees in 2017. But a lot of companies like to go down the microservices / complicated architecture path which adds to the dev ops burden.

So it's over for Coca Cola, McDonald's, and Nike?

These comments assume that 1.3 billion people have made a decision on Bitcoin and they will hold this position until death. It also assumes the people that have invested already won't invest more as their careers progress.

> value in the technology ecosystem of crypto/DeFi (e.g. in smart contracts as a substrate for security tokens; in NFTs as legal deeds; etc.)

Security tokens would need to follow the same securities laws as centralized solutions but I can see an advantage in having liquid shares. Price discovery would be pretty powerful. Although the founders might not like what happens to their valuation.

Your argument is that bitcoin has no growth potential in India? They have 1.3 billion people.

> Majority of people who would want to invest in Bitcoin has already done so.

How do you know that? Why can't the market grow as time passes?

Anyone that thinks CBDC's are going to replace crypto are mistaken. The use cases aren't the same. But I have seen a comment claim this.

> Most people on HN accept that there is some use for some cryotocurrencies.

I would say the opposite. It's rare to see anything positive or even neutral.

> Cryptocoins are 100% within the mainstream consciousness.

This is the biggest problem for crypto skeptics.

Make it four. I'm unbooked until then.

I hadn't heard of this. Interesting.

How many engineers does Patreon have?

Bro, it's a digital baseball card.

> “Well frens it happened to me,” Green tweeted

I think it's a cute way to say the word "friends" for most people. I know it has another meaning. Alt-right folks can try to co-opt it and others can co-opt it right back.

I flipped shields on/off with Brave. What was pleasant soon became unpleasant.

I won't be able to find the tweet but there was a woman that was watching children playing behind a fence from the sidewalk and was asked to leave. I forget the exact details of how it escalated.

It's so weird in America sometimes. In other countries no one even notices you.

I'm contemplating visiting this site. What does everyone else think?

Probably everyone here can make low six figures without trying. But many want to make 400k a year. So they are trying. I'm done with the rat race myself. Physically, I'm in better shape than almost all of the try hards at work.

How about...

AnythingButAGI?

I guess GP likes it? I think plenty of hobbies, sports, and events are stupid. But there are whole industries built around them.

I don’t make bets I can’t win. But you aren’t the first person to tell me they would 100% win this bet if only they weren’t morally opposed to gambling or something.

There is no cash upfront. It’s perfect.

I’ll bet you $10k USD that Bitcoin goes over 30k in the next 4 years. What does your crystal ball say about that?

So every business associated with crypto is untrustworthy? It’s hilarious that the anti bitcoiners are so anti bitcoin that it prevents them from using any of the trustworthy exchanges to short it.

Exchanges make huge amounts of money in bear and bull markets.

Can’t you short using Binance or something? Or is making money using a crypto exchange unthinkable for you?
