I scrolled through my long dead plus profile before I nuked it a few weeks ago. The main thing I noticed is that I posted a broad spectrum of things there from all the hobbies and …

If you did mine in 2009 you mined a block yourself, so it would have been 50btc.

I'm always glad to read of another person getting multiple benefits from low/ish carb eating. I live with chronic pain from a spinal infection and also happen to have disordered ea…

I will desperately miss the clean inbox paradigm when Inbox goes. I am struggling to go back to the old way of managing my email with no done button and poorly configured categorie…

I find the style patronising to the point of irritation. Overly edited, repeatedly cutting to the hosts instead of letting the subject just damn well speak and letting the listener…

> People who didn't watch him still don't watch him I'm not sure. I think this might be the type of advertising that money can't buy. It puts him and his enterprise, even if tempor…

Good ol' Mrs Watanabe![1] [1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mrs-watanabe.asp

I had mood issues with one meal a day regime, I managed to resolve it with Tryptophan supplementation (an amino acid known to act as an antidepressant, avoid if taking SSRIs) for t…

Congratulations on what you have achieved. I have had very similar experiences going from 450lbs+ to 250lbs and counting as a disordered eater. The low carb change had a marked imp…

I have many fond memories of Stumbling back in the day, made some genuine connections with a few Stumblers, more so than I ever did with Friendster etc. The only other social media…

I was bamboozled by that comment. Out of the frying pan....

Or you can request a block OTC trade with any of the major exchanges and they'll bite your arm off for your business. Zero slippage.

There was a guy who scripted himself a huge number of the facebook giveaway airdrop. I have vague recollections of his hoard being invalidated via a hard fork or some other method!…

It was 6000 in the original airdrop, and after that there was an airdrop against bitcoin addresses in a proportional fashion (only if you chose to claim them, if i am recalling cor…

All settled in dollars AFAIK.

At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, low carb eating and intermittent fasting have changed my life. The way it puts you in touch with yourself and naturally regulates your mood…

If you invested 1BTC in the ethereum presale in 2014 (about $600 at the time) and kept that ether, you now have the equivalent of $1M in ether. Has that much value really been crea…

Putting aside the contributors and developers I think people invested based on one theme - chasing gains. The technology sounded great, I imagine people spent some time learning ab…

Entities owning those new tokens would rush to the exit, sending the new token towards zero would be my guess.

The largest Bitcoin payment processor for retail is Bitpay, I've used them on a few websites. They enable shops to accept Bitcoin with a locked in exchange rate, shielding them fro…

Another one showed up from DJ Khaled the other day. I am reminded of that adage (maybe a quote?) from past stock mania: when the shoeshine boys are talking stocks it's time to sell…

I was eating a typical western high carbohydrate, moderate protein, low fat diet with a modest caloric deficit. Lots of starchy veg, breads, rice and pasta. I migrated gradually (s…

I reversed diabetes with diet alone by doing my own research[1], taking charge of my health. I lost 180lbs in the process. No exercise (disabled). Very much a work in progress. I'm…
