okay so after yesterday went down the stable coin rabbit hole

seems about only way to avoid obnoxious ETH gas fees is transferring USDC from Coinbase Pro - but there is a waiting period to approve new wallet address

thanks for bringing this to our attention

All the morons (I dont care if you can scalp with them) buying these meme coins took some really good steam out of the bull. Thanks Elon.




is someone that bought doge at .002 and sold above 50 cents really a moron?

as much as i may hate it, this is like a person who only invest in big stocks making 15-20% per year, calling a gme investor for making 100% in 4 months a moron.

not long term holders of the shite coins....yea they are morons. But nothing wrong with making the money while you can.

the so called meme coin investors have sure as frick out performed investors that focus strictly on the fundamentals.

Some make money sure, many thousands more are just pissing their money away unless Elon keeps pumping it.

it makes me wonder if we have entered an era wherein we should be looking at market cap changes between cycles instead of btc price to determine where we are at in a cycle
and if we've hit a peak.

I think the argument can definitely be made that this should be the case now. Money that would have rode the BTC train up now rode the doge train.

Good point. And if that crash yesterday didn’t shake out all the weak hands of the average dogeholder then maybe we are still good

Sold off my ETC today at a loss, pretty mad about it.

Put it in AMD stock. Better long term investment imho

This is an amazing article, surprisingly, from a reporter of NYMag who actually put in time to research the Bitcoin energy topic. Long but informative


quote:

Data is spare on the sources of electricity powering bitcoin miners, but CoinShares, a digital-asset investing company that says it spent hundreds of thousands of dollars researching the issue, estimates 74 percent of the energy used in bitcoin mining comes from renewable sources.
And this is probably where Pomp got his 74% of bitcoin is mined with renewables stat.

Yellen should start by learning how to reset her router or use a television remote before continuing to mouth off on crypto

better than ETC sure. ETC is a dead chain that was only going up because noobs entering the crypto space thought it was Ethereum (ETH).

Just more “we can’t let crypto be used for tax evasion” rhetoric

That is probably the best feature of crypto once a network is big enough to rival nation state economies. Until then we have to pretend as though it is a bad thing.

if you are converting to fiat, the easiest exit ramp most people are going to use is an exchange and you will be paying capital gains on that

If you are using crypto to barter for goods tax collection is literally almost unenforceable but this is akin to people paying someone cash to mow your lawn, how much money are we really talking about here?

I don’t get what her angle is other than signaling some additional virtue.

requiring the reporting of 10k transfers of crypto just legitimizes the space

but of course the market sold off on the news.
