[Edited] I'll stick to one point: 'The scarcity . . . . that’s not now, it’s coming later.' Nah. It's now.

'not sure the bitcoin halving will be good for bitcoins price? Is there a chance the miners start packing their bags due to lower rewards and head to another network to mine or stake? Maybe buy some ether and start staking it later in the year? What is everyone’s thoughts?' IMHO there is no...

'Type Nine: trooly roooley anonymous. Many contenders. But one has stood the test of time. Type Ten: cryptos with sweet ranges of features: so, campers, a crypto is a currency riding on a blockchain; but an amazing array of 'features' can be coded in. For example, one coin was 'native Tor' --...

I'm Australian born, Honey Tree; but lived for years in Asia: lots of culture here! Hard-core bargaining hardly exists here. Bargaining is un-British. But in Asia , if you didn't 'low ball,' you'll be fleeced like a sheep on an hourly basis.

[No Edit function?] Type Nine: trooly roooley anonymous. Many contenders. But one has stood the test of time. Type Ten: cryptos with sweet ranges of features: so, campers, a crypto is a currency riding on a blockchain; but an amazing array of 'features' can be coded in. For example, one coin...

Once again, no endorsement. Nuh. Nada Just as a lesson, check the ALL chart of Unobtanium. Although it regularly spikes to sixty or a hundred bucks, it was several times down under two bucks. What's my point? Everyone seems mesmerised with 'the leading edge' -- noo launches, ICOs, whatever...

'now we just need a currency backed by something of value.. hmmn what could that be :rolleyes:' No endorsement here. None. Zip. Nada. There have been attempts at 'backing' . . . 'About Digix Gold Token Founded in Singapore in Dec 2014, DigixDAO (DGD) is building a decentralized autonomous...

[Can't get 'Quote' to work] Morning, Stoic. It's a genius combination of POW and POS. Tiny tiny crypto. But -- IMHO -- an awesome solution to this problem. Ooops -- didn't answer the question: miners are run; but there's no reward. They partly secure the network. And PoS functions...

'Anyone else backing ethereum 2.0 to pump the price & market cap? Making an income through staking coins where you can join a staking pool with as little as 1 ETH!' Wow, I am so out of touch with ETH! PoS is incoming? The squabble over security @ PoW PoS is open-ended. But energy-efficient...

Cryptos Buried in The Garden, and 'Paper Cryptos' The storing of cryptos has come up on threads several times. Crypto geeks never shut up saying, 'Don't store your coin on exchanges!!' Overall, it goes like this: There are gradations in security. But a major divide is, interestingly, quite...

Cryptos are a tech/libertarian venture. A hobby. If silver 'mooned' the way cryptos have, it'd mean your society was coming apart at the seems (Watch this space). I like Swoydaz's perspective: 'store of wealth.' Muck about with cryptos. But 'backstop' with bullion.

Sigh There's a bunch of these 'Proof of Sweat' cryptos 'No. The currency is clearly mined based on "tasks". So there isn't an employer / employee relationship. Such a thing will never see reality so I wouldn’t spend too much time thinking about it.' Sigh again: tragically, there are folks...

'Each type has a different purpose' And just to give you a giggle/wind up the bullion bugs: years ago, the Occupy movement launched a crypto based on the notion of 'demurrage.' Demurrage is a left-wing political principle. It holds that not using a crypto -- that is, storing it -- is...

'Nine types of instruments with crazy names and functions.' Really, far far more types. Don't shoot the messenger: discussions of cryptos here -- like the CBDC discourse -- show that folks are confusing one crypto for another (just as I know no more about bullion than that silver is...

' I’m slowly warming up to crypto.' First and foremost: 'OPSEC' -- operational security. And this is the sort of thing I can help y'all with. Passwords and dat files and pubkeys and paper-wallet privkeys all gotta be in one place, secure, and backed up out the wazoo.

'What’s your favourite crypto coin you would recommend? And do you think we’re currently in a upswing for a while or just an uptick before another crash?' Hey, crewy. My favourite crypto? I think it's best for me to not do anything that makes me seem like a shill. But if you come and visit me...

Super Simple Glossary. To be refined as we go. No names! Just descriptions. Makes it much less confusing. Type One: PoW -- that means mineable. That's how the distribution happens. This is pivotal. 'Hard-capped' (BTC is hard-capped): absolutely permanently limited number of units...

'Unlike those that just label them a scam.' No reasonable long-timer crypto geek would dare to deny the almost unbelievable amount of theft and scammery that has occurred since The Boom began in late 2013. But here is a thought to foster quality discussion: distinguish Shit-Box Scammery Coin...

Thanks for your support One: I will post snippets in answer to questions here, and it would be useful to have a super simple 'glossary' of types of blockchain 'instruments.' STKR said: ↑ 'Additionally, isn't there a good chunk of Bitcoin that has been lost? Like 20% or so?' Hi, S. Yes, but it...
