Well Binance was a partner of FTX and invested 20% in them, so I'd say they were friendly at some point.

Be careful, it's a fake market and you have no idea how easily they might be able to control the price, for a while at least

Or it's mostly wash traded and manipulated so not very related.

Except that these platforms often have 'government' specific offerings that are not the same as everyone else.

How about they implement it for all politicians and executives first, then the rest of us if that works out.

Everyone has rights or no one has rights

You mean Zelensky?

Games are minor issue now, to the point I buy new games on Steam without even checking compatibility, because they just work (or have the same problems Windows does anyway).

Windows' strong point is basically some large software vendors just don't support Linux (Photoshop, finance software, etc). And of course corporate. For the day to day 'casual' user Linux is every bit as good. But, much as we all had to 'learn' Windows when we started using it, so there will be at least a little learning required for Linux.

So can a PC, a car or a cat. You're not making any point here.

Probably just because they offer similar services, so a bit of contagion.

What? Do you know who Hindenburg are or are you just a shill account (or Bill Ackman fanboy)?

Short sellers are essentially litmus tests. If you're all legit, they'll get wrecked, if you're doing dumb things, you're about to get found out.

Refer to my point on past inputs. If a human suddenly said to the machine "change of rules, now you have to play by these new rules" the AI suddenly gets immensely dumber and will apply useless solutions.

Amazing that, almost like it wasn't quite genuine...

Only if the follow up statement is "and I'm willing to cooperate in providing the evidence"

I think the argument is more that they only work from past inputs, they interpret the world the way they are told to. It is not that 'AI' can do things humans can't (otherwise the argument fails for many technical things, like a car at speed).

If your bet is on the former, how does it create an entirely new, irrational thought?

I suppose so long as cryptocurrencies aren't interacting with the dollar markets at all that makes sense...

Didn't they just offer ~$3Bil to Circle recently?

Does Coinbase stake on the user's behalf? Do they take a cut? What is Coinbase doing with the staked crypto?

Don't regular banks turn your deposits into investments (securities) that provide returns which become your interest?

Is the idea here that Coinbase is doing nothing but passing your crypto to the 'investment banks' to trade with and earn your return, then just depositing that 'interest' back?

If they're trying to be that then they probably shouldn't be offering shitcoins like "I will poop it NFT" or "PonziCOIN".

Ah the old having their cake and eating it too.

Sure, that's a moral judgement. What's that got to do with the government's reaction and pursuit since, based on what was released?

I mean, if Wikileaks did (I wish they did, political bias ruins everything) release both troves, would your thoughts on the current situation change?

Got non-circumstantial evidence for that? I mean there certainly should be some for the seriousness of his pursuit.

I don't like the guy, but I also don't like arguments based on political narratives.

Is the evidence Assange released factual?

That's not a response to the comment above's point.

You, like so many, are focusing on the ad hominem rather than the merits of the evidence and exposure. Why are we talking so much about Assange being in jail or not instead of those the information implicates?

I think that's why people need to look past the character and heresays and look at the facts and processes.

Ignore Assange's character, make him an anonymous person instead and think "is the process X person has gone through for Y actions reasonable/legal/supportable?"

Should whistleblowers be supported or vilified?

Yeah, I lost all my friends and family too, now just ads and terrible news.

By design I would guess

This seems like that thing with power companies offering varying rates based on demand, then when power failed people's bills went sky high and someone just has to resume them.

What I mean is, all this risk was baked in by design, with some stupid assumption of "well that won't happen." Now it's happened and the response is "well that's not supposed to happen, please rescue."

Rules for me and not for thee.

I like this all upside, minimal downside method of business. How can I set up a nice company that will partially insure the money I get but ensure a bailout will cover the rest should the risks come to fruition?

Also, how do I make it hard for my customers to understand the risks they are taking on so that I can use compassion to ensure such bailouts?

Why would the clientele be slightly more sophisticated?

I'd say rather they don't miss losing a big bag or two so much as others do...
