A "wallet" is just a string of numbers. It's a public and private key. You can't "hack" a string of letters and numbers. That's technically ignorant. So no, to say a Bitcoin wallet was "hacked" is absolutely untrue. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of how Bitcoin and Ethereum work...

Google defines "hack" this way: use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system. Bitcoin and Ethereum were not hacked under this definition. They did not explain how the private keys were obtained but it's reasonable to suspect they used a computer and it was unauthorized. It...

These statements are true. It leaves the false perception among non-techies that cryptocurrencies are unsafe. This false perception is very weird and is a big reason I am buying BTC and ETH. So long as people are being fooled into thinking there is a risk that does not exist that keeps the...

Just to be clear: This statement is referring to the criminals as hackers. That may very well be true. It does not claim that a cryptocurrency was hacked, which is also correct because there was not a cryptocurrency hack.

If someone breaks into your house and steals the keys to your Ferrari they did not hack your Ferrari. That's absurd. Someone stole the keys to their Bitcoin, Ehtereum and other wallets. They then used those keys and made a transfer. The various blockchains were not hacked. Quote Wikipedia...

Crypto currencies had absolutely nothing to do with them allowing someone to gain access to their private keys for BTC and ETH. You fundamentally misunderstand what happened. There was no cryptocurrency hack.

Crypto wasn't hacked. They allowed the private keys of their wallets to get into the hands of someone that stole tokens. When a bank is robbed you say, "the bank was robbed". You don't say, "dollars were hacked".

Does anywhere here us this exchange? Or even heard of them? lol.

319 ms. Not 2. But not too shabby. And I mean that as Adam Sandler sang it. 319 ms is cute. It's nearly 3 times as long as it takes light to travel around the entire earth. What do you reckon they were doing with your order for those additional 250 ms or so?

Data travels at about 122 miles per millisecond (light is 186 miles/ms). It is impossible to execute an order from Rome, Italy on any US exchange in 2 milliseconds.

If using tick data pay attention to the trade conditions. Not all trades represent something you would have been able to achieve by sending an order to NASDAQ, NYSE, etc. at the exact same time. Trade conditions and their meanings are complicated.

Exactly. Spreads are already a result of market forces. If leaving a bid or ask on the order book so that others can decide to take it or leave it is such a good idea then step right up. Everyone is allowed to play the game.

Route them into auctions? How about just routing them to exchanges like it was designed to be done all along? Instead of trying to make the middle man between your broker and the exchange play fair just get rid of the middle man. They are solving a problem that already has a solution. It's...

It was not luck. Watch videos of him speaking 15 years ago. He has the IQ and the ability to work his butt off. But he can't buy a Ready Player 1 sort of environment. You need the right people and until he's showing off those people and their revolutionary prototypes this is not a company to...

Well, there is the obvious which I assume you have already studied:

Soooooo... the first META entry over $100 is hating life right now. lol.

Agree this is a good place to trade it.

They have no history of making 3D environments and ever since DOOM was released by id Software in the 1990s it has been clear that you can't have cutting edge 3D simulations just by paying for them. No amount of money could have bought a DOOM or a GTA V. There are a very small number of key...

Heck no. Complete wildcard. They have no real competitive advantage. There are many barriers to entry when it comes to making CPUs but not social media.

There isn't enough history with Robinhood to mathematically answer this question in any meaningful way. So my answer is "no". But I'm sure we can discuss the hypothesis at length.
