Anki is a good way to preserve progress made, and even make enormous amount of progress(in the medium and long term), but I don't think it was going to be a complete solution all by itself.
I am afraid I have to disagree. The very act of creating Anki cards or any flashcards, for that matter, is unparalleled for learning new material. I would consider it similar to the Feynman method in that it forces you to dive deeper into what you do not understand.
Wait, lightning network is really cheap for moving money on existing channels, but channel openings still need to happen on-chain right?
That would still mean one transaction per citizen to open their lightning channel. Or, at least, one output.
Law of large numbers. Do what I did and flag it and move on.
More substantively, I agree with other commenters who have said all this shows is that there are people who have lower depression who wake up one hour earlier. Definitely does seem like clickbait.
Ironically, the thread is now flagged, which proves my point. I get that it's fun to be snide on the internet, but is that worth it if you end up in the wrong anyways?
Seems lobsided. Sure Bitcoin suffers from high fees, but it serves well as a savings account. We've also started accepting litecoin payments on our site: I set it up once, and forgot about it. With Paypal it's a never-ending rigamarole.
I've recently closed my bank account, and started using something a bit more up-to-date (Revolut). I believe Bitcoin is the single biggest innovation driver in the tech sector right now.. but sure.. it's a scam.
That makes it a commodity, not a security. Securities are very specific things described by the SEC Act and the Howey test.
But if you don't like Bitcoin you can use USD based cryptos like DAI or USDC to transact and conduct peer-to-peer lending, purchase art work, save with higher yield, provide liquidity in a peer to peer marketplace, etc. By no means do you have to choose Bitcoin.
A friend of mine paid another friend of mine $80 in BTC for a trip we did about 5 years ago. That BTC, never touched, is now worth $5000. At any rate, it's definitely volatile, because the asset class is still a small (but growing) potato in the grand scheme of commodities markets. One thing we can be sure of, it will never go negative in price, unlike oil.
When you save money, do you save for the long term or for 1.5 months from now? If you save for the long term, and you're earning 0.5% interest on your $10K, how much less can you buy with it now, in terms of real estate, rent, stocks, commodities, etc?
Also, note it is entirely possible to invest on what's called a risk curve. You can allocate some portion of your savings, maybe 5-10% as a hedge. No need to go all in. Maybe 0.5%. at any rate, your savings account has cost you 50% or more in purchasing power for meaningful assets in the past 5 years. While you've gained a great deal of purchasing power if you held crypto.
Can you please make your substantive points without swipes? It's hard for conversations like this to stay interesting and this sort of exchange tends to push them over a cliff.
Ah, that statement makes much more sense when you correct it to fintech.
I think I’d be inclined to point towards “neo-banks” as being more innovative in that specific sector, but that’s within “reasonable to disagree” range.
