I blocked dbl. The next time he raises something valid or concerning about btc will be a first. Don’t know what else to tell you besides that it’s hilarious if you think I would ever say something like “btc mining has been scientifically shown to be safe for the environment.”
You literally challenge/defend every single criticism of BTC. So it's not really out of this realm to think you do not give one shit about the environmental damage it does(even if you don't think it's much)
This is why I think you are trolling. Do you think we should spitball ideas for an international BTC oversight committee or something? Literally no one is saying BTC is good for the environment.
I think acknowledging it's a problem and maybe the singular biggest downside risk is a start. What regulatory mechanisms may become reality. Etc. Just hand waving it as insignificant or whatabouting is a wild stance for people who pretend they're experts.
Articles that no one reads. Harrison you need to scientifically and personally prove to me that btc leads to zero carbon emissions.
one of your “articles” is an index that shows that carbon emissions is a problem, so I’m not really sure what you think that list really is/proves
If must be tough for an intelligent guy like yourself to see idiots like me sitting around getting rich because we had the foresight and conviction to see it out.
I will read the one but pointing to people leveraged to death in btc and a financial incentive to defend it are hard to judge credibility.
Lyrtch thinks the defensiveness is fantastic. Personally I’m a bigger fan of the obvious jealousy. Guys, stop fighting it. It’s going up forever. The best time to buy was in the past. The second best time is today. The quicker you realize that, the better off you’ll be.
Nothing. I think Coinbase is just an IQ test that steals money from people who don’t sign up for CB pro.
First, you have no clue what their leverage is. Second, why don’t you ignore the messenger and just read the message on its own merits. Mr. can’t resist calling out a logical fallacy dismissing an article because of the author is something else.
mainly just wanted to know if there was a monthly cost or min account balance. i have like $15k in btc/eth and was getting tired of paying so much to buy
That's why I added the phrase "in reason" at the end of the sentence. But certainly agree with what you say. Free markets with some regulation. The dilly is in the details of course.
At quick glance, pro seems to have 100+ trading markets. Maybe this helps: https://www.investopedia.com/coinbase-vs-coinbase-pro-5120704
My guess: Coinbase fucks you with fees and market buys only, because it's the easiest to find and use. Coinbase Pro does not because they needed a platform that people who spend more than 2 seconds looking around will use. Makes me think I should go review the fees on all the major platforms again. What is Binance? I know OKCoin is really cheap.
If Kraken ever adds free ach transfers, that is the only place I will buy btc. Their fees are much lower, I like Jesse better than Armstrong, and Kraken hasn’t tried to undermine btc since inception.
I bought over $50k worth a few weeks ago. I bought $95k worth end of December. Both from bonuses. I buy with all excess cash every 2 weeks when I get paid. Only reason I can’t buy now is a $30k tax bill in May.
Hmmmm no clue. Haven’t seen that and it would surprise me. Their ceo is talking about going public so it wouldn’t make much sense. Link?
In the interest of honest discourse, I think the single biggest downside risk is a multi-country plan to peg fiat currency to something such that it doesn’t rapidly debase. A Bretton Woods 2.0 if you will. I don’t think that could actually happen given where things sit with country debt cycles, but in theory, it could eliminate some of the need for btc.
Imagine knowing someone like 1500. The guy lives, eats, sleeps, breathes and shits bitcoin. You see him posting about this for over 4 years. Then imagine thinking he hasn't considered any of the downside risks or how that might play out. Maybe I'm giving too much credit in previous posts to Lyrtchs intelligence.
Every public figure i follow in the btc space has given thoughtful honest answers on multiple occasions to the “how could btc fail?” question. Pomp, Preston Pysh, Nic Carter, Raoul Pal (to the extent he’s a leader), Saylor, Breedlove, etc. One thing that has drawn me to the space is the intellectual talent and honesty through which they approach everything related to btc. Energy use isn’t high on my list of reasons why btc could fail.
Doing your due diligence on a subject for over 4 years doesn't make you an expert. He's probably qualified to shit post about it on the internets tho. HTH
lads is it a possibility that it could be #altseason? i put $50 into every shitcoin on coinbase and some of them are going ham
