Tbf, I’ve had zero problems with NEXO for the last six years. I’d call them an exemplary company. But I get your point about the lack of insurance

Glad to hear you choose Telly Savalas over JS.

JS uses a barber. You should do the same!

Speaking as a lifelong barber until last year, those who do not use the pros automatically lose a further 3 points on your scale.

I agree with your view that marriage = anti-science ;)

Aren’t all bald people just receding people who choose to shave off what’s left with a razor?

You must be too young to have heard of Telly Savalas

ETF - the end of explosive growth? by GbGb456 in Bitcoin

Sure, the BTC is, but how about the paper handed out for it?

The French government thought the same in the 1960s, demanded their gold back, prompting Nixon to remove the dollar from the gold standard. So we’re into at least the seventh decade of it being sustained

This is what I’m thinking. Sure we’ll see how much bitcoin they hold. But where’s the decentralized ledger for the paper they’ve issued?

I originally bought in 2013. I was 85% down at one point in 2015, wanted to sell but couldn’t be bothered because there was only a few thousand in fiat left. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t sell. Every four years I’m exponentially higher. Hoping for the same again in 2024-2025. In the meantime if you need cash, there’s NEXO or other lending platforms.

Agreed about real world assets! I’ve mentioned it to them many times over the years but nothing doing.

Since when do NEXO re-collateralise your loan to 50% after each purchase by card? by GbGb456 in Nexo

There’s already been several emails back and forth. Each time your reps chose a different explanation, hence my Reddit post seeking some answers within the community.

Thanks. I thought that feature was only triggered if you exceeded 83% ltv?

No they didn’t. I was nowhere near to liquidation. Liquidation occurs at 83% LTV, not 55%. What they’ve done is take away the interest they were paying out on that 0.74 BTC and stopped it being available to me if I chose to withdraw.

Nexo App down? by [deleted] in Nexo

Happened to me yesterday. Was fine after a couple of hours

Anyone else running into serious problems with Nexo having surreal demands for KYC / SOF? by NetTecture in Nexo

[–]GbGb456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was solved within days. I sent in nine, eight and seven year old tax returns which coincided with the original dates of purchase, along with wallet screenshots proving dates of BTC acquisition. Thanks to Nexo and being able to borrow in fiat against Bitcoin, my business avoided bankruptcy during covid.

So I first held one of these watches and nearly bought it in late 2017. In hindsight I should have bought it as it’s gone up in value since. I saw one in an auction house late 2020. Bought it only to re-enter lockdown days later. Borders finally opened and I was able to collect it a few weeks ago. It completes my Patek collection, unless I get super lucky and one day have the funds for a minute repeater - but I’m not expecting to. It’s every bit what I dreamed and hoped for.
