> It's a feature that is not available, if u try to turn on self driving in city streets it tells u no.

I think it's more fundamental. I trust a computer more to react quickly to something unexpected than I trust myself to. Maybe I'm biased because I spend all day programming and poking at computers and almost none of it driving.

Yeah, I do think it's vaporware forever or at least a few years, but who knows.

I want to support businesses accepting BTC directly. Also, it's a good meme, buying a self driving car with magic internet money, it being a meme like that and sorta being a piece of the bit of history I care about is the only reason I feel like spending 50k+ on a car. I have an old ass car it works fine.

I wonder if it's an age thing. I'm 20, I have quite little fear and I think most of my peers feel the same way. I'm planning to buy a Tesla the second they let me buy one with bitcoin and I 100% plan to daily drive autopilot on city streets when it's ready, I really can't picture any of my friends being like wtf turn that shit off.

Edit: Disregard, I thought it was self driving related not full robotaxi that shit is spooky. I'd do it but I'd let other ppl do it for a few months first.

net useful minus externalities. Sure

Kinda underwhelming for a massive chipmaker tbh

Oh, well that's kinda the whole point, it has real value beyond the whims of a centralized body, you can't do that, save for a rainy day.

> Another thing I wonder with bitcoin in particular is if everyone had bitcoin and no other currency, and something like COVID happened, what entity would provide liquidity in order to help those affected by a disaster?

What? It's not specific to the way you transact. Governments are providing liquidity, if the whole world used crypto they would do payouts the same way just in crypto. Perhaps I misunderstand the question.

Oh, this is perfect, I'm going to do this with 100k. Also, yeah it is shorting, but it's honestly less convoluted than how I have to do it on Kraken. + I get profits off staking.

Edit, did it with $500 as a test, I am arbitraging 0.5% as I took the tether I borrowed, turned it. into USDC and staked it. I am getting paid 0.5% to short Tether :O

This. If you short Tether, you already got paid.

I consider personal enrichment as a sort of useful work as it stands to replace my own 'useful work'

> Even the CME contract becomes sketchy when you’re talking about a meltdown at this scale

CME has Tether?

Me too. I'm looking into shorting it on Kraken but I am not quite sure how it would work because it would be delisted before it went to 0 possibly and I am not quite sure how that would work.

I'd think mostly that you could make free too good and everyone just uses that. But if everyone is using ur app, then you have a userbase and you could start monetizing them.
