a hardware wallet sounds great and is exactly how bitcoin can show it can compete with real money: it'll be just like how if I lose my debit card, I lose all my money and can never access my accounts ever again!

wasn't the whole bitcoin tumbler/mixer thing basically just theatre because given sufficient time you could back trace it all anyway? And assuming you wanted to get the funds out, it would all converge right back into addresses you owned, making the whole exercise pointless. "oh this 2 million dollars in tethers received in a thousand blocks of transfers ? No no that's completely legitimate"

there was a giant graffiti picture of this guy over the urinals in a bar I used to go to before it got closed and turned into a generic gastro pub. https://www.smore.com/zpr4-lucid-drawings Edit : it made no sense then and now I know who it actually is it still doesn't Updated link to one with an actual picture (scroll down if you care) actually that's also probably  because I forgot about the topless cartoon woman they also had on the wall.It never made any sense because I'm pretty sure the owner was an old dude that just liked running a bar and got talked into doing this whole "art" thing and ended up with a wildly incongruous set of stuff on his walls Powerful Two-Hander fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jun 6, 2021 |

I'm pretty sure the massive overridingly recognised consensus is that if you had zero inflation you're gonna completely poo poo the bed on your economy because you're incentivized to only buy what you need right now as any investment in a physical good is basically tying up money that would otherwise appreciate. Anyone that's living close to hand to mouth is never able to get beyond basic subsistence like the entire paradigm of raising capital investment just breaks completely, the only thing that works in terms of paying for infrastructures is essentially running a centralised dictatorship that tithes its citizens or enforces total control over usage

actually, and I might be misremembering this, if a clearing member goes down the other clearing members are obliged to take on the positions to ensure they can be closed out. that's easy for physical positions,a bit less so for dumbass leveraged ones but you can reasonably assume that you might get aggressively closed out or margin called into oblivions if your internet comedy gold position is moved from clownshoes broker to idk ICE or whoever.

infernal machines posted:how does all this work when people on the platform have been sold "partial" shares? badly? nah you probably just get closed out and refunded the value at that time because whoever takes over can't be bothered to deal with the fractions then a bunch of people get angry because they got closed out 'at the wrong time when the stock was about to go up up up' (actually I think that did happen once to some hedge fund and they successfully sued the broker over it and got the lost profit back)

LanceHunter posted:A friend's company was trying to abide to their strict anti-corruption policies during their International Women's Leadership conference that they held in South America. So they refused to pay any local fixers or shell out any kind of protection money. Two of the conference attendees ended up getting kidnapped. I remember doing some mandatory anti bribery training and one of the questions was about getting stopped at a border and asked for a payment to 'facilitate the border process' or whatever and everybody got that question wrong because the 'correct' one was 'no I would refuse and contact the compliance team so as to ensure I did not give the appearance of bribing a government official'. contrast that to when I had a temp job years back for a mining company and they were bribing all sorts of people

I'll have you know I'm a 30 year Blockchain veteran and I've been involved in numerous secret SoCal Blockchain events, and I have over 3 confirmed transactions. I am big in the Blockchain space and I'm the top published author in the reinventing the wheel section on amazon. You are nothing to me but just another opportunity for self publicity. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am downloading a copy of the Blockchain over the internet and your insecure TCP/IP traffic is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your bank balance. You're loving dead, kid. Blockchains can be anywhere, anytime, and I can post nonsense blogs about then in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my linkedin profile. Not only am I extensively trained in bullshit, but I am a CTO with access to the entire might of the RSA blog platform and I will use it to its full extent to self promote, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price in fiat, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo crypto all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

Clockwerk posted:so what is the existing barrier that has been stopping Bitcoin for the last ten years from solving the unbanked problem? like, what are bitcoiners waiting on before they’re allowed so financially rescue the world? turns out poor people can't afford the fees to use the network maybe what's needed is some sort of trustworthy party that could act as a sort of store of their balance so they didn't need to use it directly. if there were branches of this things then people could just walk in to them! of course there'd need to be some regulations so you'd know your money was safe and they weren't a scammer nothing like that exists though so I guess smoke signals it is
