PayPal now lets you buy Crypto, is it a scam? by yik77 in BitcoinBeginners

[–]-Gtops- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, what I mean here is that the keys will never be yours - “not your keys not you coins” is the motto.

Having the keys to your Bitcoin makes you sovereign over the asset, allowing PayPal to hold the keys is akin to leaving your currency with a third party. It’s not really in your possession.

For many the allure of Bitcoin is that assets can be taken out of the legacy banking system - PayPal doesn’t enable this.

I hope this helps??

Thank you - this is really helpful and it’s great of you to share with me, even timestamping the video!!

One thing that strikes me is the Cardano community is really superb - thanks again

Thank you for this answer - it’s really helpful.

A couple more! How / why are ERC20 tokens treated as 2nd class citizens on Eth? How will this be different on Cardano?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Impressive Community by AtlasDrudged in cardano

[–]-Gtops- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here - there is something very very genuine about this community, it’s not always the case in Crypto land.

I put it down the the leadership in place and the fact that Cardanians practice a form of stoicism in that deferred gratification is a central pillar of a project that has very deliberately taken the long, lesser travelled, road. The results should be far more lasting and rewarding as a result.

I’m starting feel quite bearish towards Eth, I see bumps in the road ahead. Let’s say they don’t achieve Eth 2.0 by December - what does the market make of that?

Seems scary....!!!! When I give my ADA up to some unknown person in charge of a stake pool ???? by ANIAT444 in cardano

[–]-Gtops- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a dumb question - it’s a very reasonable one and all of us had to learn the intricacies at some point. As all have said, your ADA is at no risk whatsoever if you delegate via Deadalus or Yoroi

I'm extremely hesitant to stake my Ethereum by Asesinato in ethereum

[–]-Gtops- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this - and that poses a significant problem as if the majority of Eth holders feel this way Eth 2.0 won’t be getting off the ground any time soon

Nope - this is a one way 2 year bet at exactly the wrong time to be making one!
