I remember reading the same stuff in 2010 and it was nonsense then and is now. At least then they didn't have 16+ years of people explaining and demonstrating why they are wrong so there could at least be some excuse to…

Bitcoin may have another two or three orders of magnitude to go, so what can you do except wait for other people to realize the value it provides.

My only quibble with that quotation is the no one should want to live under either. Fascism, socialism, communism, "social democracy", authoritarianism, collectivism etc are all very similar, just substituting who is…

Always keep learning and if your job makes you happy, then keep doing it. If not, find something that does and do that. :-)

"The way I see it when looking at this chart, we have been going through such a drawn out decline of the Sharpe ratio since around early 2024, when the previous ATH was breached before the halving, which is when the…

Yes, I think that for gold it is probably important to have some numismatic value in addition to the metal value - e.g. a Saint-Gaudens or double eagle vs just an ounce coin. Because unlike for bitcoin, there is always…

Well I know exactly what will happen: bitcoin will fluctuate. (With apologies to J.P. Morgan). lol

In my view: if people want to use them, use them, if not, not. For some people they are useful, I tell people to keep their own keys.

It is similar to what happened in Cyprus in 2013 with the currency controls, haircut etc. Everyone should hold bitcoin because currency issues happen all too often.

Very bad. Always use a prenup - if her motives are pure, she won't object. If they are impure, it tells you something important before marriage. It isn't only the US either

They follow the money and see what he did with it. If he'd mixed it at SR for example, that would be good because it could've been lost. They say he dissipated the assets. They say, you are in contempt until you come up…

Yes, in the US. Particularly if there is a paper trail. It is complete BS of course, but yes. No man should get married without a prenup.

I will say it again: anyone who thinks that Satoshi hasn't sold bitcoin is naive. Perhaps not from the 2009 era wallets, but he did not stop mining thereafter so there are plenty of "non satoshi linked wallets" that…

Now zoom out and look at the 10 or 15 year view and the "volatility" is not really noticeable. The main time that volatility matters is if you are attempting to trade short term and that is extremely difficult - if not…

It has been happening forever. There is always a huge group who are just involved for a short term gain without (a) being able to think in terms of 5-10-15 years, (b) not doing a lot of research, and (c) (even worse)…

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". There certainly was a political component to it - protesting the unlimited bailouts, enabled by a fiat currency that wouldn't otherwise have…

Exactly. Almost every cryptocurrency except bitcoin has risks like this. Look at Eth vs classic. And not to inject anything controversial here, but this shows how "filtering" could result in "filtering" transactions -…

Yeah, anything held in a centralized form is at risk. However I have no sympathy for these guys! lol

The order probably couldn't be filled all at once, crazily. I am not sure about coinbase, but some brokerages have an "all or none" option so it only fills all or doesn't fill.

She is an idiot. In a divorce the courts generally require everyone to divulge their assets (assuming they are marital property and not separate property - and even then they may have to do so) and she is advocating…
