Mathje 1 day ago

Exchanges will support direct withdrawals to L2's, just like they support all different L1's right now. Crypto.com already does this, and I think Binance is very close to supporting Arbitrum. Many other exchanges have signalled they will support L2. Some exchanges also support Polygon, and you can hop from Polygon to several L2's.

POTATO_IN_MY_LOGIC Yesterday

The good thing about Facebook's "Meta" rebranding is that right now, they can tie it to the NFT hype, but once the NFT market implodes, they can still continue doing what they're doing. Meta can just pretend that they were just focusing on Oculus and that the NFT hype had nothing to do with "metaverse". When you name your company "Block", it's a lot harder to hide that you were just chasing blockchain hype at the peak.

5

zackline Yesterday

I never saw any mention of NFTs or crypto in relation to Facebook’s meta announcement. Their page was talking about virtual 3D spaces featuring Oculus products. I didn’t think there’s any relation to NFTs.

2

POTATO_IN_MY_LOGIC Yesterday

Yes, which makes it is a very clever branding strategy. Right now, "metaverse" = "NFTs" in an investor's mind because of all of the NFT pumpers pushing the hype. Now Facebook/Meta is riding on that NFT hype... without actually promising to make any NFTs! If NFTs take off, they can pretend like they backed them the whole time. If NFTs don't, then they can offer an alternative vision right when most of their "competitors" collapse. I think that they're also not going to make any blockchain promises without a clear regulatory path forward because they remember Libra.

one thing that I don't see mentioned very often is that a16z (one of the larger SV investment firms) [explicitly said they wanted to invest in a 'metaverse'](https://a16z.com/2020/02/26/roblox/) back in early 2020. I think the metaverse push is more of a marketing ploy from the VCs investing in this space. pushing this tech as the future of the internet or whatever is good for their portfolios.

I don’t know, maybe. It just thought it’s a cool sounding name that fits with their VR/AR vision that they want to pursue as old school Facebook becomes dated.

Well, yeah. That is why we are unlikely to 95% crash anymore. If big techbro companies adapt crypto, generate a ton of revenue from it, then everyone else will jump onboard. I think how much revenue robinhood made from dogecoin alone was a wakeup call. A few other fintech stock trading app started to add more and more crypto afterward. At some point US government stepping in to crash crypto will just lead to a shitshow. Unless of corse the fed steps up now and regulates crypto right away.

25

MrYOLOMcSwagMeister 1 day ago

Why do big companies getting into crypto make a 95% crash less likely? It's a negative sum game so once people stop buying it must crash. Big financial institutions made a ton from mortgage-backed securities before that blew up in their faces.

5

And yet Dogecoin trading revenue crashed at Robhinhood, after a single quarter and if you look at what you're saying, everything is still about trading. There is no major revenue generating aspect of crypto, bar being a middleman like exchanges, lenders, funds, brokers, to scalp pennies of the crypto loonies who like to gamble. Literally no one in the greater market will care if SQ crashes by 60% or Coinbase goes bankrupt.

0

Underfitted 1 day ago

You have fundamentally misunderstood the finance of both situations. Archegos had outsized positions in certain stocks leveraged by big banks. AKA said positions going below a certain margin, not only hurts the stocks (due to outsized positions) but also the big banks. Archegos' positions were $80B. This isn't marketcap. This is an actual position, with actual money and leverage, hence why banks lost something like $7B. No one cares if SQ goes down because SQ is not a fund with actual billion dollar positions in stocks. Its a single company with a massively overvalued marketcap. Marketcap and positions are two entirely different things. Oh and SQ is not even on the SP500 ETF last I checked.

I was referring to Coinbase, which is bought by some funds including Cathy Wood's ARK. It definitely will have an impact. Maybe not as directly as Archegos.

Thing about crypto is that the structure of the space allows for many ways to keep infrastructure going and reinflate new bubbles. At core, crypto transfers money from the losers to the winners of the speculative games and Ponzi schemes. As long as you have a significant population with surplus money that they are willing to risk, the crypto scam will continue.

It's a speculative bubble. It only exists because the people involved believe it will grow substantially. If it stops growing, the speculators leave and it dies.

In 2017, Bitcoin went from $1000 to $13,600 (not $19,600). In 2018, it crashed back down to $3500 by the end of the year. But this was where it had been in July of 2017, so it was not a long enough downturn to stop the speculators. And then Tether starting up the money presses and flooded the market with imaginary money, and the bubble took off again.

US Govt is afraid of anything remotely approaching regulation. Facebook got away with a $5bn FTC fine, which is barely 15% of 1 year's profit. America's forgotten how to make money that isn't related fo advertising or user surveillance. Yes, Apple is guilty of this as well. Everything is politicized, and with Republicans like Cruz firmly on the butt train, and Gensler being butt friendly himself, I doubt anything's going to happen.

POTATO_IN_MY_LOGIC 1 day ago

Yes. I don't think regulation is going to end it. At this point, I think what's going to happen is a general market sell off is going to crash Bitcoin really hard because it's so bubbly and high leverage. There are three known possibilities that might cause this: 1. COVID Omicron panic. 2. Evergrande collapse. 3. Inflation forcing the Fed to raise interest rates But when it crashes, it will ***crash***.

POTATO_IN_MY_LOGIC 1 day ago

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sell off by the end of this week. We saw something similar around the NYAG deadline, even though Tether released a crappy pie chart and nothing happened. They will wait until as close as possible to sell because dumb money isn't ever going to sell, only HODL.

I'm sure we'll circle back around, but part of the reason it's not catching on hugely is because the proceeds are so tiny.

no that's not my point. the point is that when a company gives only one method of payment, whether it be money, mining or info, people have to choose between not using it and using it, and if they choose to use it, they must also accept the only form of payment available. in the case of unprofitable mining the loss of value could be on your end or on their end, it depends on how the payment really works (do they ask to mine for x fixed amount of time for all customers (their loss) or do they ask to mine until you've mined x value (your loss) of crypto?).

This is underrated. Finally people will start to realize ASIC resistance was key the entire time. Completely decentralized and for anyone to mine. Monero might already be the best at privacy, but it's ASIC resistance might actually be what gets us mainstream adoption.

For that though one thing would need to rise massively... the price... so it gets wortwhile to mine.

Profitability will always be a net zero, even slightly negative overall. This is because botnets do not care about the cost of electricity while mining.

set up our own node LN node guys. See ? you are missing out on another cutting edge tech once again. Sure you can say to your friends and family now Bitcoin is 10x better than gold and no longer 10x worse than cash/cc thanks to LN net, but if they ask you how it works and start asking more detail questions and you can't give them a clear answer, you would look just like those snake oil shitcoin salesmen.

If you're not tech savvy, get those rpi4 solutions, RaspiBlitz, Umbrel and whatnot. If you're good a computer, dust off your old laptop add SSD that's it. Get on telegram join the plebnet and go from there.

Does this mean I can finally have a gui LN node solution running on top of existing full v22 core node in windows?

The web-based nature of this node management UI makes it easier to get set up! Check out \[this set of docs\](https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal) for more information on Lightning Terminal itself, and how to connect your node to the new web version.

https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lnd/run-lnd "Configuring your system Be aware of any firewall that might be enabled on your system, for example by using the iptables utility: sudo iptables -S" Why on earth would anyone mix the linux commands with the windows ones on any guide? Again: I am running a full core node on win10, without a wallet at this moment. I am trying to make LND run on this machine with a gui interface, hopefully.

tldr; StarkNet Alpha is a permissionless decentralized Rollup operating as an L2 network over Ethereum. StarkNet allows any dApp to achieve unlimited scale for its computation, without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security. The Alpha will start out with no transaction fees. The next upgrade will introduce a fee mechanism.

Starknet is a ZK rollup that uses cryptography to prove transactions are valid before bundling them up and submitting them to Ethereum layer 1

Ah okay, I think so long as ETH is POW it is doomed to fail. That’s my opinion though and I’m aware it’s a minority one.

If the idea of a job with a company whose focus is privacy appeals to you, look at Proton too.

Brave is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We do not discriminate based upon race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, age, marital status, disability, national or social origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, veteran status or other factors that hold no merit to job requirements.

Brendan Eich is the CEO of Brave Software.

Eich’s appointment [as Firefox’s CEO in 2014] triggered widespread criticism due to Eich's past political donations – specifically, a 2008 donation of $1,000 to California Proposition 8, which called for the banning of same-sex marriage in California, and donations in the amount of $2,100 to Proposition 8 supporter Tom McClintock between 2008 and 2010. The Wall Street Journal initially reported that, in protest against his coming appointment, half of Mozilla's board (Gary Kovacs, John Lilly, and Ellen Siminoff) stepped down...

So what exactly has Eich done at Brave to make up for his past indiscretions? How can a company claim to be an equal opportunity employer if their CEO has a history of homophobic actions, and – to my knowledge – has never attempted to make any reparations?

Your first campaign is on me.

If;

Privacy has run amok

Then;

Take it back. Brave™

Those are the two dos commands I recall as a child but if, then, else is still around, I assume. Your IT crowd would get it, The world knows what it knows. An opened ended, potentially eternal ad.

My personal fav is

if;

gatekeepers and censorship

then;

decentralize with #IPFS

Ill work for bat!

I want to be the guy that has the final say in whether an ad will work or not. Can I have that position? I wish to taste all the dipping sauces and say, yes, that's the one.

Musical lyrics for instance.

If the lyrics can apply emotions while simultaneously invoke a different reason for that emotion, upon which each individual listener connects with - You have symbiosis.

To achieve symbiosis is difficult.

Here's my first draft resume.
