I bought some this morning. I think we will see a resurgence as Mimble Wimble comes closer.

Just remember, fundamentals win in the end. There will always be some new meme coin that uneducated investors use to try to get rich quick. Institutions scalp money from pump and dumps and throw it into into fundamentals. If litecoin was dying you would see lower transaction volume and lower acceptance in the market, but these things are increasing.

Most of the coins that you see pumping have no use case and it’s just speculation trading. Speculation has its place, but wise investors limit risk to safe levels and ride the end game winners. Looking back into history, would you have passed on Apple or Amazon or Tesla just because there was quick money to gain from somewhere else?

Yeah should be easily as valuable. Litecoin supply is 4x the bitcoin supply, but it's faster and cheaper, so why shouldn't 1 LTC equal something like 0.25 BTC? I know the math is never that simple, but you know what I mean. What's holding it back?

tldr; The number of Litecoin (LTC) transactions has rebounded to over 140,000 in recent days after falling close to the 100,000 mark in early October. Litecoin's merchant acceptance is currently slightly less than half that of Bitcoin. There are now 3,111 businesses worldwide that accept LTC directly as payment, up from 2,230 last year.

Reminds me of those Catholic churches where the faithful are allowed, once a year, to touch, or maybe just look at, a relicary with bones or blood of some medieval Saint. But there is no comparing the prices.

If the company goes bankrupt, or simply decides to sell the cube, will the NFT holders still have those "visitation" rights?

Wafflashizzles Yesterday

This is a genius way for a company that makes industrial cubes of tungsten to cash in on the moron money train of NFTs.

Oh, if you get through the whole article, you actually can take the cube with you if you own the NFT, but to do so, you need to send the NFT to a dead-end adress to be "burned" so that it can't be traded anymore.

1

dyzo-blue Yesterday

> can take the cube with you if you own the NFT, but to do so, you need to send the NFT to a dead-end adress to be "burned" so that it can't be traded anymore. I think the point is no one would do that because the NFT should always be worth multiples of the value of the tungsten. I think the buyer will go touch the tungsten once, get some social media likes, and then never bother making another trip.

2

Wafflashizzles Yesterday

Yeah, I can't imagine someone having much use for a nearly two ton cube of tungsten the size of a shoebox. Can you imagine kicking that fucking thing in the morning on accident

jstolfi Yesterday

If I had enough money to spare, I would buy such a thing. That is what being a nerd means. A couple years ago I bought a small bar of molybdenum just for that reason... This joke was told by an "academic brother" of mine in his presentation at a computer science conference: > A young man is walking through the woods one day, when suddenly a frog jumps out of the bushes into his path. To his amazement, it speaks loud and clear: > "Young man, listen to me! I am a beautiful princess who was turned into a frog by an evil witch. The spell can be undone by a man's kiss; if you do that for me, I will do anything you want in return!" > The guy carefully picks the frog up, stares at it for a moment -- and then says "Cool!", stuffs it into his pocket, and keeps walking on. > "Young man, didn't you understand what I said? protests the frog. "I am a *very* beautiful princess! If you kiss me, I will do really *anything* you want. Will satisfy your most hidden desires. Please?" > The man takes the frog out, smiles at it/her, says again "Cool!" and puts it/her back into the pocket. > "Young man," calls the flog angrily, "what is wrong with you? You don't like girls, is that it? What a bad luck, with all the men in the world, it had to be a gay one..." > The man takes out the frog and explains, "No, no, I do like girls, alright. But I am a computer nerd, and as such I am always too busy with my hacks, and don't have time for girls. But having a talking frog on my desk -- that is COOL!"

Wafflashizzles Yesterday

I don't know if spending $200,000 Dollars on a tungsten cube is exactly what being a nerd means, maybe if you really really really *really* like tungsten and can put it down somewhere in your house without having it plummet through the floor like an acme anvil IMO spending $200,000 dollars on a cube that you literally can't do anything with unless you're making tanking shells is what being an idiot means to me but to each his own

1

jstolfi Yesterday

$200,000 dollars is indeed way overblown. Tungsten metal price is about 30'000 USD per metric ton, so that cube should be worth only about that much -- even accounting for the uncommon "ingot" shape and size. But as a non-nerd of course you would never understand. 😄

Over the past two weeks, a joke fired off by Coin Center's Neeraj Agrawal about a nonexistent tungsten shortage thanks to crypto traders buying cubes of tungsten due to a meme actually caused one for Midwest Tungsten Service. The Illinois manufacturer actually creates small cubes of tungsten, and the tweet caused a 300 percent increase in sales that depleted the company’s stock on Amazon, Coindesk reported.

Our society is fucking stupid.

Kenionatus Yesterday

Since we began selling the cube we have constantly asked ourselves, 'What is the right size?', and 'Would anyone buy a bigger cube?' Only recently has anyone asked us, or have we asked ourselves, 'What is the biggest cube we can make?' We have an answer that creates a bit of a problem. The answer is 14" and 1,784 lbs (809 kg). The problem is, what do with it if we make it.

2

Accomplished-Play-84 2 days ago

I doubt that the price for shares of Coke go up every June 21 on anticipation of increased summer sales. For the same reason I doubt that halvenings alone result in higher bitcoin prices. Correlation is not causation. What we're seeing is a confluence of forces and chance.

1

MrKittenz 2 days ago

Well it is not alone, but is a key piece. So it is just correlation that the same pattern happens right at halvenings which happens to be a cut in supply? Your Coke analogy is humorously off base for someone trying to say they understand market dynamics so well they are contrarian to the basic design of Bitcoin If you think the next 3 halvenings are built into the price then you should short the crap out of bitcoin

1

Accomplished-Play-84 2 days ago

I don't follow your logic. Just because the halvenings are priced in doesn't mean btc prices won't go up. They will go up. But mostly unpredictably. As economist Steven Landsburg pointed out a long time ago about stocks, their price changes are mostly random. Same with crypto -- even as they both go up long term.

Taproot also opens the doors to greater smart contract flexibility on Bitcoin. While complex smart contracts have been easy to create and enforce on other blockchain networks for years, Taproot is anticipated to lay the technical foundation needed to accelerate Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin network. With Taproot's implementation, Bitcoin can host massive smart contracts with tens of thousands of signatories while obscuring all participants and retaining the size of a single-signature transaction.

The irony here is truly staggering. The whole point of cryptocurrencies is to eliminate the need for trusted third parties, and especially to eliminate the need for trusted third parties who are so heavily regulated that they are essentially arms of the government, like banks. Still, it is far from clear (at least to me) whether the FDIC chair is being clueless or devilishly clever here.

aazaa - @aazaa 1 day ago

> Some banks have already begun dabbling in these areas without regulatory clarity. Earlier this month, U.S. Bancorp (USB.N) announced it was launching a cryptocurrency custody service for institutional investment managers.

This is fascinating. Within a mere 10 years, Bitcoin has gone from a toy to something now intersecting directly with the US banking system.

With each integration point, Bitcoin gets more difficult to legislate out of existence or destroy through capricious police action. Aside from Tether, this is one of the biggest risk factors cited by those who have studied Bitcoin in detail.

tehjoker - @tehjoker 1 day ago

It's gonna be pretty funny to watch all the bitcoin people go into a tizzy when the banks buy a ton of bitcoin and start to regulate the economy by changing the money supply at will. It doesn't matter if there's some kind of theoretical cap on the supply. Say the bank buys 50% of the money supply, they can then double the number of coins at will. If they buy 90%, they can increase it by 10x.

sebow - @sebow 1 day ago

Well this is one simple reason why i don't recommend/hype up crypto anymore(or many other "decentralized" technologies).

Anyone who has been in the space could have seen it from miles away.

If people want truly decentralized,secure and anonymous money, you have to work from bottom upwards, starting with an infrastructure that's not centralized: think mesh networks,and you build on top of that.The obvious trade-off is there: performance, usability,etc, but at that point the target audience is vastly different.

Software "decentralization" is ~pointless considering the fact that if a country(US) or in best-case scenario a couple countries decide that it's over, well it is over, because they can quite literally pull the plug.Arguably Starlink looks like the next best choice, which from other aspects is even worse.

Facebook is in the wrong for obvious reasons, but the whistleblower herself is in no way better because she demands for more governmental regulations. Therefore, we should not pick a side in this case, even though we all hate Facebook, right?

I don't agree with bitcoiners, but if they had a consistent set of principles, I might at least respect them. But "be your own bank" and "not your keys, not your coins" were supposed to emphasize that crypto was ostensibly about providing an alternative to the predatory financial wasteland we live in. And now they're celebrating Mastercard partnering with another company to offer "custodial services" for crypto. Everyone with any decency left the scene a long time ago, and all that's left is a bunch of mindless adherents of the cult of number go up.

Affect-Electrical 2 days ago

If you're using MasterCard, what does crypto bring to the table? No longer anonymous, no longer decentralized, it's just something you have to pay a fee to turn your (already working) money into, to then pay an additional fee every transaction? I can see MasterCard would offer it as it is another service they can charge for, but why would anyone bother?

bgieseler 2 days ago

Just because idiots call it anarchism doesn’t make it so. Its adherents have no connection to anarchism at large and it fully accepts and even celebrates economics hierarchy. Even the originators of the term had to point to hierarchical systems as examples because, say it with me, right wingers are dumb as pigshit.

9

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

The hierarchy it celebrates is one based on wealth. It seeks little to no permanent government/governing structures preferring the individual make those decisions through the market. It might not be collectivist or egalitarian like many forms of anarchism but it is a form of anarchism as it adheres to not having a permanent governing structure.

0

nacholicious 2 days ago

By that point you might as well say that Feudalism can be Anarchism

4

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

Feudalism requires government. AnCap desires no government and all coercion to come from market forces. It's dumb but it is still anarchism.

1

bgieseler 2 days ago

So? It’s hierarchical and therefore non-anarchist. This is basic shit, if right-wing liars calling something the wrong thing confuses you this deeply you may want to stay off the web as it is their main tactic and I’d hate to see you get tripped up.

9

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

No need to be insulting especially when you are incorrect. The lack of hierarchy is associated with left wing collectivist anarchism but the right wing/individualist forms of anarchism exist as well. What defines anarchy is a lack of permanent governing bodies not overall equity/equality of possessions which you are calling a hierarchy.

1

hfwiuyf489y34f 2 days ago

> So? It’s hierarchical and therefore non-anarchist. You're using the leftist political theory definition of anarchism, which I agree AnCaps don't meet. But AnCaps are anarchists by any *normal* sense of the word. You shouldn't expect everyone in the world to use a specialized definition of a word apropos of nothing

AnCaps are as much anarchist as North Korea is a democracy.

19

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

AnCaps believe in no permanent governing bodies. That is anarchist. It is not collectivist or left wing anarchism but it still is anarchism.

4

dbzer0 2 days ago

>AnCaps believe in no permanent governing bodies. That is anarchist. Absolutely, not. Anarchism, as the historically existing political movement, at the very least, means "no rulers", not "no permanent governing bodies" whatever that means. Saying "Anarchist Capitalism" is like saying "Anarchist Fascism". It's an oxymoron.

8

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

AnCap doesn't require a ruler or a government. In fact it desires no government or ruling bodies. That makes it anarchic in nature. Capitalism is in no way incompatible with anarchism to suggest otherwise means you don't know what capitalism means.

0

dbzer0 2 days ago

Capitalism requires bosses and landlords . They are your rulers. What I see is that it is you who does not understand neither anarchism nor Capitalism.

2

filbertsnuts clearly not the guy you should pay attention to 2 days ago

The existence of an employer does not make a society not an anarchist one. The notion that anarchism requires a lack if hierarchy is inaccurate. You are trapped in a collectivist definition of anarchism which us why you don't see the point im making.

I dunno about that. If I was a hardcore bitcoiner I wouldn't be that happy that these mainstream companies keep "integrating" cryptocurrencies in the most controlling and rigid fashion possible as walled gardens. This way you get worst of BOTH worlds. But that's not surprising, this way they can afford to ignore the pain points of the AML/CFT complicance and various kinds of fraud and customer issues if it was possible to hop in or out of the blockchain into the ecosystem and they get to profit from it the lazy way. Whether it's Robinhood, Paypal or other places where you can check in but never check out it's a variety of roach motels. Imagine a future in which only a fraction of a fraction of total bitcoin is in the wild and most of it is concentrated in walled gardens like Bitcoin Facebook, Bitcoin Paypal, Bitcoin Mastercard, Bitcoin Amazon or Bitcoin Wells Fargo. And all of those bitcoins are spread around central parties that hold them in dedicated custodians but the users don't care that much. However those that care know that you sometimes can move them between those custodians...with their permission. Is that the future you want?
