    Data suspicions threaten to tear China and west apart

    That's hacking Phil, not the abuse of personal data by a corporation/country. Stick with CuckZuck and all the other creepy Fag Valley companies, they're on your side...

    RAM vs Processor vs # of Cores ... what matters most for a trading rig?

    I doubt your Excel is freezing because of 32GB Ram, it probably freezes because it's just one of those things. As an idea, it might be worth testing out OpenOffice, assuming it will run your MSFT spreadsheet. As for 64GB, that might be overload. If money is not a problem, go 64, but if you want...

    Data suspicions threaten to tear China and west apart

    Nobody is talking about Chinese companies stealing your data, it's of no use to them assuming you're not Chinese/living in the West. My point is simple, China is far less of a personal threat having my data via using their tech products than US/Euro companies who are abusing it like nobodies...

    Data suspicions threaten to tear China and west apart

    Assuming you're in the US, the Chinese government won't and can't sanction/cancel you for 'bad' data on their servers, while the US can. Same in reverse. I'd personally trust the Chinese far more with my data (using the argument above) than my own government and I'm no commie lover. The...

    Data suspicions threaten to tear China and west apart

    So do you trust US tech any better? Both are as bad as each other, the authorities have a hotline into all of the tech firms, regardless of what the laws say.

    Is it possible for big companies/Uncle Sam to hoard BTC/crypto?

    No, because nobody is going to spend $500billion to get to 51% at the present exchange rate. However, as many have said here, and continue to say, Bitcoin is worthless so if you wait Kmik, you might be able to buy that 51% for less than $100, and I'll buy the 49%.

    Key word there - integrity. That's all anyone wants from a broker (alongside financial stability/resources).

    Risk of client like Bill Hwang blowing up IBKR

    3 things I like about IB re risk. 1. Peterffy is an old school options market maker and you don't stay in that business for decades without REALLY understanding risk 2. I don't know the exact figure but I think the personal own over 50% of the company so talk about skin in the game. 3. I...

    Kuppy comments about SPACs

    He's an interesting read but seems to always buy the low in size and sell the high. But if he does lose, it's always a small loss. Perhaps the litmus test would be to see his published returns because on the back of what he writes, I'd expect him to be pushing at least 50% pa if not 100. As...

    Crypto Shadow Banking Explained and Why 12% Yields Are Common

    Since when did anyone here on ET, or 99% of retail have 9 figures to play with? My post was designed for readers on ET.

    Crypto Shadow Banking Explained and Why 12% Yields Are Common

    Amazed that people aren't doing this simple and relatively risk free trade more. The risk is the broker so just spread the trade around with 4-5 of them. Right now, buy spot BTC and then sell Jun futures, yield in the 6%-7% range for 3 months -...

    $1.7 trillion F-35 Fighter "unsalvageable". Deep State v. America. Deep State KO in Round 2. Ouch

    I doubt it's effecting the Russian or Chinese military. If they team up, they can take over the world probably without a shot being fired.

    Dalio - Bitcoin might get banned

    If the US bans Bitcoin it would a) prove it works and is a real threat to the USD (and other currencies), and b) probably be the final nail in the coffin of the country's corny tagline - Land of the Free.

    Dalio - Bitcoin might get banned

    Who am I (a jabroni!) to call out Dalio but what's interesting is that when he was (generally) unknown his funds were exceptional re performance. But as soon as he started to open his trap and court the media, his performance went to pot. Probabilities therefore suggest, not to listen to him...

    Australian bitcoin mogul remains at large after surrender of boss

    All they appeared to do was let some US traders trade. Note that the US traders came from the 'Land of the Free'. No money laundering, no fraud, just letting them trade. And the US government wants to put them away. However, like any good mob, they'll probably just shake them down for a...

    Which is the best youtube channel you recommend?

    There are loads but a good tip is if the thumbnails (of the vid) are of a guy with his mouth open, smiling/screaming like an idiot, run a mile because you're dealing with a moron.

    BSV has a lot of haters for a reason, Craig Wright cosplaying as Satoshi. Anyone believing him is a total moron.
