Yeah as i said, the fee is the only real downside. Altho the bonus system likely balances out the discrepancy with Nicehash. Still hoping they’ll adjust it though

You’re ability to apologize when wrong is respectable. That being said, I still think your original thesis of litecoin is correct. The updates are impressive yes, but bitcoin still has a greater network

I’ve really never understood the “litecoin is silver” concept. The reason silver came to be valueable was because gold could only be divided so much, so something was needed for smaller values. But Bitcoin

Unfortunately while due to the inflation of the bolivar, electricity is extremely cheap in USD in Venzeuela, the corrupt socialist government has been known to send police or other strong men to intimidate

Well thats a very nice little story. Unfortunately it is based on flawed Keynsian logic. The government’s interference in the monetary supply has almost always had negative effects on the economy long

Exactly what i’ve been saying, fundamentals for btc have never been better. Silly to get shaken out by price action

Like clock work

True. No matter what the circumstances, cryptography finds a way.

I very much agree with you. I do think the government needs to determine a clear framework for what constitutes a public discussion tool, so that lines on issues like these can become less blurry

Ok but as long as the president is using it as his primary means of communication, being banned from twitter is just as much a “violation” as being blocked by trump, it amounts to the same thing.

Yep exactly. Another worry of these centralized services is that they could deny users access to private keys, as was just announced today in Russia: This would essentially mean you could ONLY use crypto

When are they gonna tell us their “hypothetical value” for a US dollar? #auditthefed

And even if ypur right in terms of Coinbase’s compliance practices, that still does not explain their banning of wikileaks, which is perhaps the most troubling thin of all here.

I’ve always found it curious that Hirji seems to serve as the public face of Coinbase as opposed to Brian Armstrong. Again, i recognize that some regulation/compliance is always going to be needed, i just

Great post. Alot of seemingly obvious advice in here that so few seem to follow

My pleasure. Thanks for the article.

I hear ya. Personally i think if the “crypto is used by criminals” narrative was going to kill crypto, it would have already. These sorts of arguments have been around since way back in the days of Silk

While this is unfortunate, it isn’t entirely surprising. Bitfinex is a huge exchange and therefore probablt faces alot more pressure than some other. I personally dont use them any way do it doesnt effect

As far as i’m concerned all this does is prove crypto’s effectiveness as money. Bad actors are bad actors, and if they weren’t doing it with crypto they’d be doing it with something else.

I think it is entirely untrue to say that there is “inherent fairness” in socialism. The state forcibly seizing a redistributing wealth hardly seems “fair”. I suppose if you are only considering the final
