    I arrived in Patters and met LT a couple of hours after the Luigi pie run, therefore did not see him in the flesh. It did strike me a bit unusual that someone would make the return trip from Bangkok to pick up a few free pies. There again that may be the norm in the life of a high flying crypto trader - not everyday can be a winner.

    I thought a trader of Edmund's standing would have at least taken his helicopter down for the trip - However as with the TD crews Crypto returns - that would just have been pie in the sky.

    There is nothing to learn or understand about Cryptos, it's simply a game based on some "proprietary" algos with 2 only purposes: laundering money, and market manipulation, aka speculating

    any store of value must have either "fundamental" value (ie. Gold) or "trust" to create stability in an exchange of currency

    Cryptos and smart contracts have neither, au contraire, they are based on "mistrust" (a millennial thing) and some strange notion that wasting CPU time and energy to create mindless calculations over and over will somehow create "trust" out of thin air. Problem is "trust" is not a mathematical function.

    Crypto fascists are actually into "believe" theory, like any religion, more than "science" technology. All they are doing is a leap of faith on something that has no universal purpose. This is the irony. Millennials who have a trust issue with society is asking everyone to "trust" some gaming unproven techno, with a giant leap of faith. Basically they are demonstrating how much clueless they are about the world, and they are setting themselves up for another "deception" or "trust" issue with cryptos once it will implode.

    every generation had their learning moment with mistakes they make about money, Crypto will be no exceptions

    we had the dotcom boom mistakes, but Millenials weren't around, so they wouldn't know what to look for in a bubble and Cryptos enthusiasm does feel like 1999 at the moment

    fools, let them learn the hard way, no point debating with "religious" extremists

    well that post was going so well till this sentence.u never get to read about the losers on the stock exch either. but u can get the ups and downs of all and every stock and crypto. as i know less about crypto than i do the S Exchange, i see a potential gainfull gamble on the cryto mrkt. so ive been in for a couple of years, my very first punt came up at 240%. since then ive made the odd good punt, over all im still up by 10k dollfor a 3k doll gamble, its a little bit of fun , ive been riding the stocks for so long its not even my money anymore. like i said earlier ... if u cant afford to hold u shouldnt be in it... or the S/exch.

    Cryptographic algorithms, especially the asymmetric ones like for instances RSA-2048 are used to incur trust when there without them wouldn't be any trust.

    you might hear about the gains () but you'll rarely hear about the losses. i over looked the obvious fact, for every boast of a winning bet there has to be the equivalent loss. s/exch and crypto. i have met too many losers on the s/exch, every time caused by pannick selling/ignorance. its the panickers that cause the downs , i just live off those types, not my fault people panick but thank budha for them 55

    only if you are a Norwegian loon, and crypto anarchists

    so in one corner, we have millenials with their trust issue asking the rest of society to "trust" them with "unproven" tools and "illogical" principles

    I mean WTF is wrong with them, did we really fucked up society to a point that the new generation is fucked beyond repair???

    we GenX got the worse legacy from the Boomers and yet we "created" the internet and made social network possible

    those millenials fooks are all about the cancel culture, eco-fascism, and crypto-mania

    we are indeed doomed !!!

    Hey hang on, a few posts ago you stated you "lived off your winnings" - Do you live in the Jungle under a tree? - If this is the level of "investing" we are talking about then it just does not even register with me. I don't want to make you feel bad but I have spent more on a day at the races.

    EIB issues its first ever digital bond on a public blockchain

    On 27 April 2021, the EIB launched a digital bond issuance on a blockchain platform, deploying this distributed ledger technology for the registration and settlement of digital bonds, in collaboration with Goldman Sachs, Santander and Societe Generale.
    In a partnership with Banque de France, the payment of the issue monies from the underwriters to the EIB has been represented on the blockchain in the form of CBDC.
    The EIB believes that the digitalisation of capital markets may bring benefits to market participants in the coming years, including a reduction of intermediaries and fixed costs, better market transparency through an increased capacity to see trading flows and identity asset owners, as well as a much faster settlement speed.

    Once you're comfortable losing 1/4 of your holdings in a day, because you know they'll go back up 70% a few days later, crypto's for you.

    If it gets to less than 500 against BTC I might throw a few lazy $$ at it.

    You Genx came to a dressed table, Internet was created by Boomers in the early 80's when you were only a few foot high if even that.
    Obviously you also don't understand what digital signing is, the mathematical cryptographic algorithms behind it and how that is used to create trust.

    I can see why you ran away from this forum with your tail between your legs.


    Your arguments are:

    1. Crypto doesn't work because millenials exist.

    Millenials were always gonna exist. Only large scale deployment of nuclear weapons would have stopped that.

    2. It's a bubble, and it's gonna burst!!!

    It was a bubble in 2013, then again in 2017, and again now in 2021. Please tell us, using your GenX wisdom, when it will actually burst for good, because right now it has risen from the dead more times than Mr Jesus Christ himself.
    Some people think it don't, but it be.
