Look, if you want to post whatever you want to without fear of moderation, you should start your own website so you can post whatever the hell you want on it. But until then, you'll be subject to the moderation standards of whatever site you choose to post on, including this one. And if you...

Bitcoin IS decentralized. Bitcoin is readily available to anyone worldwide. I can send BTC (or virtually any other coin) to anyone on the planet with a wallet app installed on their smartphone or computer. That's a friggin' lot of people. I'm not sure if we're at billions yet, but we are...

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like you're saying that stablecoins are useless to begin with because they are pegged to an inferior asset called the US Dollar. It sounds like you are primarily frustrated at the decline of a dollar's purchasing power due to inflation, and anything pegged to...

No. You missed his point. What he said is that we can't solve all crypto assets problems at once. The ecosystem and diversity of assets is just too big to realistically do that. He said we need to start with one thing, which is regulating stablecoins because as a payment method stablecoin...

That's what moderators do. Not sure what your point is.

Geez, in retrospect it looks like that crypto transfer I made from FTX to Gemini worked out by the skin of my teeth. It's amazing to me how one guy can hurt so many people either by doing shady shit himself or by allowing someone else in his company to do it. Between the FTX guy and the LUNA...

Just a credit card that I use for personal purchases. I liked the fact that they paid the monthly cashback rewards in BTC.

Blockfi pauses withdrawals but then sends out a "friendly reminder" that you still need to make your credit card payments. Dear Valued Cardholder, In light of recent developments at BlockFi, we would like to provide a friendly reminder that all terms and conditions of your cardholder...

I lived in Raleigh in 1996 when hurricane Fran hit and that was my first true hurricane experience that caused devastating damage. A couple years later I moved to Orlando, so I basically just left one hurricane zone and headed straight to another one. :banghead:

I moved it to hardware shortly after it was posted because that's where it belonged, and it looks like Magna moved it to Politics because it unraveled into a political discussion.

I woke up at 5:45AM not expecting much, but I gotta tell you, it was some of the hardest rain I've seen in a long time. The storm last month was way stronger wind but this one was all rain with some strong gusts here and there. I'm just happy there's nowhere near as much storm debris to clean...

If that was Cramer "weighing in" he certainly didn't have anything of value to say. Honestly, he seemed perplexed and scattered with his thoughts.

No. I don't think that app will work.

There will be delays due to the two-week hurricane cleanup disaster last month... and now we are getting another one tonight believe it or not... the first on record in Florida for this time of the year. I can't seem to catch a break this year. :banghead::banghead:

On a positive note, there's been quite a surge of new visitors to ET this past month during all the drama. :D:thumbsup:

I don't think there's any discrepancy that my last entry was a total fail. I take ownership for that, even though there were unknown circumstances at the time. Meanwhile, if you'd like to donate to my personal relief fund via PayPal, here's the link.

In retrospect, I'm actually grateful that I was able to get my account balances transferred over to Gemini. This past year has literally been a perfect storm of negative events... one right after another. From the tail end of Covid to Ukraine invasion and then straight into inflation city then...

Yes, that's true but I figured that the counterparty validation would hold additional value in the eyes of anyone who was a true skeptic. Hey, I may move it all to self-custody at some point, but for now I prefer it the way it is.

Yeah, it all moved over except for a little bit of USDC I had in the account but even if that never showed up, it wouldn't be a big deal.

It's more transparent for the purpose of this journal. I like knowing that if I need to screenshot anything for verification, I'm doing it from the exchange and not from some personal wallet.
