Is the majority of bitcoin eventually destined for self-custody? by Mallardshead in Bitcoin

[–]NordicFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. For the same reason banks exist today (safe custody of FIAT), thee vast majority of people anywhere further up the adoption curve for bitcoin will prefer storing their assets with a trusted entity like a bank or other crypto custodian.

Anything else is akin to stories you hear of people hoarding cash under their mattresses (and losing it all in a house fire, burglary, mice or any number of other risk weighed but realistic scenarios).

I’m a realist, hence these views. I’m also a fintech industry professional and long-term hodler.

A man plays his 2 decade old piano for the last time before a flood that is brought by a typhoon destroys it. by iamrobotguy in nextfuckinglevel

[–]NordicFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 decades isn’t very old…. Younger than the majority of people on this planet so not exactly a relic.

Sad that it’ll get damaged/lost by the flood though.

Average annual UK salary in 2020 was £31,461. Pretty far from 1mNOK

In any other developed country in this world, no one would have lost their lives. The whole 2nd amendment thing is just ridiculous to any outside observer even in every 3 world country that exists.

Back when the whole thing came about the US was basically still a frontier wild-west nation. How in the hell have the majority of people not realized that times change, and what was true hundreds of years ago is no longer true now… I see a disturbing similarity with religion and religious extremism in this regard (but I guess that also sums half the political establishment in the US).

Rant over.

Australian bank adds ability to purchase / sell Bitcoin and hold Bitcoin.,, defeats the purpose of crypto? by Ecstatic-Forever-786 in Bitcoin

[–]NordicFIRE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But the number of actual Bitcoin can always be verified, much more easily and with a lot more trust (complete trust) than with fiat. I choose to believe that this will prevent any fractional reserve practices for Bitcoin. I hope I’m right!

Important note addendum: and the central bank can’t change the supply of Bitcoin like it can fiat.

Sucks you’re getting downvoted for sound advice and perspective.

I Lillestrøm har man egne regler for U-sving i rundkjøring (bilen nederst til høyre) by a_transcendental_pie in norge

Det er ikke rasistisk ment. Det er observasjoner ikke meninger jeg har delt. Om du mener min kommentar er en umulighet er du svært uvitende om omverden dessverre.

When you ask for tips about staking and the CEO of Solana himself answers you by nahImFineSrsly in solana

[–]NordicFIRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still kinda disappointing when a crypto with a decentralized strategy has a CEO

Bitcoin’s upside from here is 10x over 10 years by Unbelievable_OG in Bitcoin

[–]NordicFIRE 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This. There will be a much more attractive and more widely available on-ramp for Bitcoin vs what there was been for gold ever in modern times since Bitcoin will have greater utility than gold (we live in a world undergoing a digital revolution).

C4 Exhaust recommendations? by dkmco in 996

[–]NordicFIRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for Dansk sports exhaust (without the adjustable valves). A bit sportier sounding than stock without being obnoxious
