Appreciate the explanation, this is something I should know by now but don't

I had to check your post history to see if you are my coworker because we had the exact same experience.

wow, I was still using the 2018 version of TAD and didn't realize they pushed updates in 2022. The 2018 version was still better than other tools I've tried, really happy with all the recent upgrades.

My grandpa did the same thing when he was 72 years old. Applied for food services, worked in the cafeteria but did extra stuff like DJ a radio show, drove a shuttle, and gave tours. A couple weeks into his stay, my grandpa ended up being the "most qualified" person at the station to take over the greenhouse (he had an agriculture degree which he hadn't used in 48 years) but ended up doing a good job. He travelled a lot but Antarctica was his favorite adventure.

Is there a database or something to lookup stats of car manufacturing failures? A family member of mine recently got a Model X and the back wheel came off while she was driving it on the highway. Never occurred to me that it might be an issue that happens with other manufacturers but would love to see the numbers.

This article has nothing to do with how crypto exchanges make money. They make money from trading fees. Let's say your claim about wash trades is true, why wouldn't the exchange make money from those fake trades?

To answer GPs question, legit exchanges do spend a lot of money and effort on keeping user's assets secure so it's maybe not as easy as it seems. But in the case of FTX, I totally agree. FTX was like 2nd or 3rd highest volume exchange and could have been a highly profitable business on it's own. Only SBF knows the answer to why that wasn't enough.

Rocket League is one of my all time favorite games because of this feeling. Also echo your feelings on the rank grind. After awhile I made a rule for myself that I would quit playing ranked after a total of two losses in a session.

not a defi expert, but I think the most common way to do this is to use Aave:

  1. borrow Tether
  2. swap it for USDC (or stablecoin of choice)
  3. wait for Tether to crash
  4. pay off your Tether loan at a fraction of its original value

risk is that your tether loan will be accruing interest (currently 1.4%) so if it doesn't crash or takes too long to crash you could be liquidated.

You can convert your money to a USD pegged stablecoin instead of your local currency which is losing value at a faster rate. Plus easier to store and move large amounts IMO

Stablecoins are popular in countries with hyperinflation

> Marketplace is the only reason a lot of people still use the site.

Do you have any data to back this claim?

Completely agree, they make claims like this and I'm instantly turned off because it feels like they are lying to my face.

I think they've set up a system that incentivizes long term storage (and possibly a better setup than IPFS) but theres no way in hell they can make a guarantee for more than a few years at best.

I was talking about Coinbase MPC wallet, where they have part of your private key. I think that's pretty far from back to square one, is it not? You still own your private keys but are trusting a centralized organization to keep the other, so it would require both parties to be hacked for the wallet to be at risk.

I think automatically is not the best term here. I'm not an expert, but there are borrowing and lending protocols that let you borrow a large amount of their token pool as long as it is paid back within the same block (plus some fee). So you can write a script to run a transaction that:

  1. borrows a large amount of money
  2. use the large amount of money to do arbitrage
  3. pays back the large amount of money plus any fees
  4. keep profits

and it does so "atomically", so if you can't repay the loan then the transaction fails and the whole thing never happened. or you could lose money if the transaction is successful but the trade is not profitable.

like I said, I'm not an expert so someone correct me if I'm wrong
