I’m not sure how many people on here know I was an archaeologist, but crypto is so much less drama.
There’s no Jorge the Cuban dwarf who stole everyone’s girlfriend, no being stung 14 times by hornets and then finding the work truck was towed, no drive by Fabreeze-ings, impromptu rap battles behind the parking lot dumpster at a hotel in Bumblefuck, USA, drunk people falling into undiscovered tombs, or being escorted by the sheriff (from his car) because some ornery landowner said they’d paint the ground with your brains.
Also a lot less drinking, rattlesnakes, and machete injures (correlated?

I’m not really a fan of prospective, current, and recent political figures launching meme coins.

It’s always darkly funny to see each new cohort of delegates get the full Maker/Sky governance experience that they defended as so rules-based and transparent

Just helped pull a dog off another dog being walked in my neighborhood. Is being fostered for APS, which of course means pitbull or pitbull mix, and ran out the front door to attack.
It should be a requirement to spay/neuter them so they stop existing as a breed.

Crypto tax software companies. Please shill your best products. Premium product ok if it’s easy and good.
Honest reviews also helpful.

I see buybacks are back on the timeline. To save ourselves time and debate, I have prepared a simple quiz on when buybacks are rational.
Is the discounted cash flow of the token higher than the discounted cash flow of investing in additional growth?

With the removal of Maduro, I hope whoever comes next is good for Venezuela and that its citizens no longer need stablecoins.

I’m trying to learn more about the plumbing of off-exchange settlement/custody.
Anyone have example copies of these agreements or work in this industry and have time for questions next week? I’m trying to understand if these are all similar or have different risks/functionality

I enjoy seeing who I know follows pr0n and weirdo conspiracy theory accounts. I’m sure we all throw an ill-advised follow once in a while, but some names come up again and again.

Happy new year

“USDT pays you no yield - what a rip off!”
For the world’s poor, zero yield is very competitive with alternative forms of savings.
Take “deposit collectors” as an example. These are individuals who are contracted to come around daily or weekly for pick up cash savings.
At the end of the term, the lump sum is returned to the saver, minus a fee.
A woman may contract to save 10 rupees a day for 220 days. At the end of the term, the woman would have saved Rs2,200, of which Rs2,000 would be returned to her (~$25).
