There used to be a forum for philosophy here but the participation was just too low so we had to chop it.

They are in fact a subsidiary of the main Berkshire Hathaway company, that's why.

Look, all of this activity where a business like FTX is taking from one source of revenue to fund a more risky venture goes all the way back to the 1700's with President Ulysses S. Grant and his son, and I'm sure way earlier than that that if you dig hard enough. If you took all the crypto...

Bernie Madoff Edit: Just saw he was already mentioned in a prior post.

From the perspective of regular customers, you're right. FTX did function well. However, Alameda created the FTT token out of thin air and then used their own FTX exchange to trade FTT amongst themselves to establish a bullshit value for the token. Then they went out and borrowed billions from...

I had some Bitcoin in Mt. Gox when it collapsed in 2014, and since then I'll occasionally get a postcard in the mail written in Japanese and broken English updating me on the situation. What's crazy is that it's 2022 and they are STILL working on reimbursing those who were affected. I can't...

Is that series worth getting Disney+ for? Because I don't have that one. I think we've got Netflix, Hulu, and HBO.

I wonder if SBF knows in the back of his mind that he's completely fucked and will spend the rest of his life in prison, or if he actually thinks there's a way out of all this?

Absolutely.

As the FTX debacle captures the majority of people's attention in the crypto space, I predict that we're going to get a summary judgment from the SEC vs. Ripple case within the next month or so stating that XRP is NOT a security, and that's going to be the catalyst for the next crypto bull...

Once I installed Exodus on my desktop, getting it up and running on my phone and tablet was super easy. After I downloaded the app on my mobile devices, I just used the device cameras to scan a QR code on my desktop and everything synced up within minutes. The Trezor hardware device I plan on...

They are actually a Forex & CFD broker, so their main business is actually facilitating trading of fiat currency pairs. No, that's not a scam. Berkshire Hathaway Home Services is a legit company within the Berkshire Hathaway umbrella.

And that's coming from the guy who's never posted a single trade on this site or proved anything whatsoever. I never said that past performance is a guarantee of future results. Markets go up and down and crypto is no exception. I've never said that the crypto market is immune to going down...

You're just being excessively argumentative and twisting around what I'm saying. In fact, you're even arguing with me about the price increase of my own house over time, as if you know the real estate market in my own city and neighborhood better than I do. I mean, common. Now you're just...

I may have screwed up the wording, but from what I understand Exodus has a software bridge that you download that connects and pairs with the Trezor. I downloaded the bridge but I haven't got the Trezor yet so I'm not fully 100% knowledgeable as to how it all works in real life. I'm just dumping...

Between working at ET 24/7 and dealing with crypto drama this past week, me and Nora are DONE. :D

Court proceedings are just a formality at this point. I mean, the essence of it all is right there in black and white.

Or what about this password :D: Iwillneverforgetthedaythatpekeloinvestedinbitcoin

I'm not forgetting my password. In fact, most people set passwords that are simply too complicated in the first place. If you're going to set a password for anything, don't set one that's a bunch of characters and numbers that you'll never remember. Instead, create a sentence that is so...

Just as a quick follow-up, I pulled the trigger on a Trezor Model T as my hardware wallet, which will serve as a failover in the event that other wallet devices like computers, mobile phones, etc. get lost, or stolen, or malfunction, etc.
