I am not saying its a replacement for the bond market. I am saying its a more efficient way to settle transactions

OK "angrytrader" will do. I have posted many interesting things on this topic and 99% of the time I am met with "what about tether" or "this isn't real" or "it's for criminals". Im sure you can see, it gets quite nauseating. So how about this which I think is "interesting". I was a bond trader...

Shoot. I should have added Tether FUD to concerns I don't think are very legit. :) We have spoken about this many times - let's agree to disagree. My 2 second viewpoint is that Tether is at best shady and at worst toxic, but if it is there are many other stable coins for people to use...

The bitcoin/crypto hate and dismissiveness on this forum continues to amaze me (and make me more bullish than ever) I think there are legit concerns to raise regarding this asset class, but most of the FUD on this forum are not real concerns in my opinion. This includes, but is not limited to...

I'll also add - there seems to be a hangup on forks. Bitcoin isnt scarce bc it can be forked ... even tho the forks are not bitcoin but something different. People say forks are "better" versions of bitcoin. But if they are better versions, why isnt that network used instead? Why does BSV...

has settled more value on its network than Visa... So if bitcoin is solving no current problems as some on this forum continue to say ... why is the adoption increasing at a 75% CAGR (as measured by the value settled on the network)??

"Milo will accept the USD Coin, Gemini Dollar, and Terra stablecoins, Rupena said." What no tether!!!!???? This is one of my points as to why the concern over tether is totally overblown IMO (not that there should be no concern, just that the concern is overblown). People can just use another...

Hard to know why we even engage in this. Neither side has an open mind

Qre you serious? If I split a dollar into 1000 pieces (10% of a penny) does that mean there are less dollar in circulation? "It's a purely speculative instrument, nothing else." now that is hysterical. Look around man.

This is so dumb. Keep thinking you know everything and keep missing out. Forks are not bitcoin dude. It's completely different. Bitcoin SV for example is a fork of bitcoin. It currently has a market cap of 1.6BB. Real bitcoin has a market cap of 800BB. Saying fork exists so bitcoin isn't...

Could be, there certainly should be huge demand for this stuff. Id like to be long both. I know ur a well-known crypto hater and you are kicking the hornet's nest on purpose but ill bite ... "Lithium, cobalt and nickel are actually rare unlike cryptos " you know that BS. Sure there are...

Is that true tho? I thought amount of trading was loosely correlated to general market volatility. People would still need to do transactrions (most getting stopped out) if the market is going down

Its a strange correlation I didn't exactly expect. Like COIN is correlated to price to cryptos, but there is a good argument to be made it shouldn't be. All that matters for COIN is if people trade and they collect their exorbitant fee, not whether bitcoin/crypto goes up or down. Chanos...

the difference between a new, open monetary network (bitcoin) and closed apps that plug into the current antiquated system are night and day. One day you’ll get it.

I get that and appreciate the honesty. Hey I'm not all-knowing and certainly could be wrong here (that's what stops are for right?) I would just say try to remove your skepticism and just give this an honest look. More transactions settled on the bitcoin network last year than Visa! There is an...

Im not seeing your beef tho? It's just an age thing and that you don't get it? I'm not seeing how this a "meaningless, emperor-with-no-clothes fad" based on an article about Mark Cuban Honesty question and not trying at all to be a jerk. Why such pushback against this? What makes you so...

As everybody on this forum knows, I am a bit crypto fan and think there is a lot of potential. One big delineation for me is with Bitcoin vs everything else. Bitcoin is special. It doesn't mean it will definitely outperform the rest, but from a risk/reward standpoint, it is by far the best bet...

These are very fair points. I would say tho that US regulations are coming, and stable coin regulations are going to be priority number 1 (as they should). I see a situation in the not distant future where all stable coins will have to be audited, show what they own, etc. Similar to the current...

Here is my question... Let's say Tether goes away ... sure X% of the current volume is via tether (though I haven't fact-checked this stat, let's assume it's true). If it goes away, why cant that BTC trading just be facilitated by more reputable, audited stablecoins? Id think that could be a...

So I think we convinced you (even if you won't admit it) that nobody can hack and change bitcoin to 41MM coins like you originally said. I hope it's clear that the decentralized nature makes hacking largely a fruitless exercise. I mean I guess you can say since it's tech in general so it's...
