'Hello all crypto peoples. Ive got a small amount of money that I'd like to try out investing/trading in crypto. Any recommendations?' The thing is the 'getting in,' the place where you can use old-fashioned money to buy (any) crypto. The crypto is prolly Bitcoin. Maybe Ethereum. Maybe a number...

'Trump’s possible re-election will not be the result of his ability to resolve the socio-economic problems, rather it will be the failure of the opposition to even recognise them.' https://www.rt.com/op-ed/498449-us-election-trump-economic-landscape/ A friend explained the 'Bradbury Effect.'...

[I got no idea why the graph is as big as a billboard -- is that me?']

I don't think I've ever asked a lot: 'Look, it's an emergent technology. No one is twisting your arm to buy. And if it's so useless, why does it seem to be such a threat?' https://www.statista.com/chart/18345/crypto-currency-adoption/

Suppose you were President for Life Runyon Baby-Kisser. Suppose you declared war on The Guys Next Door. 10,000 die in the first week. The whole thing is a fiasco. Do you call the war off? Nuh. You'd lose face. ' . . . what has been announced by airlines . . . complete recovery in passenger...

It goes like this, MyrtleL: many folks who have no interest in politics never suffer ill affects. However -- as students of history understand -- if politics and history just happen to do the drive-by on your burg, politics and history couldn't care less that you had previously paid them no...

Meanwhile, back at the Friendly Interesting Thread: 'The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it’s likely Biden’s running mate will be president before the end of Biden’s four-year term if he wins this fall, with 39% who say...

V brief @ 42: relaunched coins usually re-fail. But 'Lasergun' managed the jump soooo elegantly. The old community kept all its balances. So it's an older coin than it looks. Lots of long-timers.

The memory is sharp; but I checked the map: in the late 70's, in my first years of hitching adventures, there used to be a bench on the very point of the bush reserve above Tallebudgera (Burleigh). I used to shower in the cold-water council shower-blocks; walk up to the headland; and sleep...

I came to cryptos from libertarian politics; but the relatively apolitical nature of the crypto scene has been something of a disappointment. Meanwhile, bullion bugs seem to be far more clued in to Big Picture Stuff. #Will the U.S. election spark drama whichever way it goes? #Have world...

Wow! This makes me feel out of date! And Advanced Verification to stake?

I'll risk making a dill of myself. I t h i n k that heartastack is right: ''ongoing amazing profits." But I t h i n k that Silver 260 is also right in a 'philosophical' sense: if everything just goes parabolically upwards in value . . . where is 'value'?

' . . . something that isn't going parabolic has become viewed as worthless.' I think I understand this. And I agree whole-heartedly. And there's a bunch of related stuff I'd like to patiently talk about. (There are crypto geeks, me and others, who are oriented to wealth preservation, to...

Congratulations, all you bullion bugs: price creeping up nicely!! 'But still predicting a steady rise for BTC , nothing parabolic.' -- Silver 260? Anyway, I like this call. And My Little Insight Once upon a time, long long ago -- about February -- Mummy Guv assured us: 'One lockdown/one...

'There are major advantages and disadvantages to both of them.' -- the Mining Store podcast above. There's a thing here that blasts shards of awareness and discourse in every direction across the crypto galaxy, and my explanation here is idiotically simplistic: A crypto's algorithm tells it...

I'm not. But I'm trying to figure out staking. And I'd like to see this thread become a vibrant and continuing one.

'Love ten bucks worth of doge if thats ok Cheers RB' Tee hee --- got no Doge.

'Tagging 'This is not a currency' onto a BTC observation is analogous to FED/Fiat advocates claiming Gold is not a currency' I had no background -- zip, zilch, nada -- in economic theory when I got caught up in 2013 in the shouting-matches about What Money Is. And it's very pleasing -- and...

Morning, REDBACK. One: I'm mystified by the accusation that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme. Other aspects of crypto? Certainly. But Bitcoin is a decade old. It has Gubmints all over the world running scared. Banks and rich guys and stock exchanges have been piling in for years now. Its supply is...
