Appreciate the explanation, this is something I should know by now but don't

I had to check your post history to see if you are my coworker because we had the exact same experience.

wow, I was still using the 2018 version of TAD and didn't realize they pushed updates in 2022. The 2018 version was still better than other tools I've tried, really happy with all …

My grandpa did the same thing when he was 72 years old. Applied for food services, worked in the cafeteria but did extra stuff like DJ a radio show, drove a shuttle, and gave tours…

Is there a database or something to lookup stats of car manufacturing failures? A family member of mine recently got a Model X and the back wheel came off while she was driving it …

This article has nothing to do with how crypto exchanges make money. They make money from trading fees. Let's say your claim about wash trades is true, why wouldn't the exchange ma…

Rocket League is one of my all time favorite games because of this feeling. Also echo your feelings on the rank grind. After awhile I made a rule for myself that I would quit playi…

not a defi expert, but I think the most common way to do this is to use Aave: 1. borrow Tether 2. swap it for USDC (or stablecoin of choice) 3. wait for Tether to crash 4. pay off …

You can convert your money to a USD pegged stablecoin instead of your local currency which is losing value at a faster rate. Plus easier to store and move large amounts IMO

Stablecoins are popular in countries with hyperinflation

> Marketplace is the only reason a lot of people still use the site. Do you have any data to back this claim?

Completely agree, they make claims like this and I'm instantly turned off because it feels like they are lying to my face. I think they've set up a system that incentivizes long te…

I was talking about Coinbase MPC wallet, where they have part of your private key. I think that's pretty far from back to square one, is it not? You still own your private keys but…

This is a huge UX issue for anyone that wants to self-custody. In the same spirit as the OP, people are working on solutions for this. Vitalik posted about it last year: https://vi…

I think automatically is not the best term here. I'm not an expert, but there are borrowing and lending protocols that let you borrow a large amount of their token pool as long as …

Pretty close, I'm guessing there are peer to peer lending platforms but typically you do it through a smart contract where assets are pooled together. So when you put your 10 BTC i…

Yep, I avoid mentioning specific names as much as possible so I don't come off as a maxi or a shill. Also very uncomfortable mentioning anything specific to friends because I don't…

They have a one month old baby too

Sorry, taxes comment was out of place. Just frustrated. The loans aren't interest free, they have a variable rate determined by supply and demand. For USDC its been pretty steady a…

Same here, I work for a web3 company and am so happy. Let it bleed

Jesus, is the comment about dodging taxes necessary? For the record I paid a fuckton of taxes for my crypto transactions, it would be idiotic not to. Do you know why? I'm not sure …

You're coming from a BTC direction but you don't know what self custody means? Anyways, an example of what I would use stablecoins for: I expect the price of $TOKEN to go down so I…

If you were certain an NFT you were buying was not fraudulent and was created by the artist would you still think it's a shit way of supporting them? Is it bad that they have an ad…

Not what I was trying to say at all, I'm saying that NFT tech is good because the default option is that the artist gets royalties and this happens probably >95% of the time? I thi…

Not sure what you mean exactly by commercial art pursuits? I'd say about 99% of NFT projects are garbage but I'm a fan of artblocks ( https://www.artblocks.io/ ). I can talk more a…
