    three arrows capital is one of the big crypto hedge funds that has been rumored all day to be in ruins as they've been liquidating tons of positions and gone radio silent on social media

    I don’t really understand why outside of schadenfreude. I’m not as TMB online as you are, but do the crypto guys fuck with other threads?

    I’m not ‘just asking questions’. While the very vocal crypto posters are, um, interesting, I’ve always thought it was pretty self contained.

    If you removed one poster from this thread, I think the entire conversation would be much different. When one person is a supreme condescending dick, people will show up to throw shit back at him.

    not just TMB, the majority of the crypto space has built its identity around being an insular group and it's really widespread on twitter

    NGMI = not going to make it
    HFSP = have fun stay poor
    everyone gets to buy bitcoin at a price they deserve

    among others are very common reactions to any skepticism towards the space and common refrains in this thread, not just from our resident lunatic

    Weird question. Regular securities offerings post regulatory filings on the SEC's edgar site. Do token offerings post theirs somewhere else, if they aren't on edgar?

    no clue what mkr is, but not sure why anoyone would be buying shitcoins right now with companies going bankrupt and/or laying off 20% of their employees

    what's your thesis here
     
  34. Gallant Knight

    Guessing you would never actually use whatever MKR is and just hoping it goes up so you can sell to someone

    Maker is the protocol that creates and collateralizes the stablecoin "Dai."

    Very professionally run and conservative, Dai has not come under stress even during recent conditions.

    There are some with real value accrual and many more with many working products but a token with no value accrual mechanism (scared of lending securities law).

    Theres a lot more to the crypto ecosystem than 2018, which was mostly just whitepapers

    Regulatory clarity would go a long way

    So dai is a dollar but it needs something worth $500+ to help it

    that makes a lot of sense
