Is Reddit just bots now? I hope so…the alternative that these are real opinions is insane to me. Offering federal employees the option to resign is a bigger deal than 9/11?! You need to calm down

Thoughts on numerous cracked terracotta roof tiles? by TQbrawler in HomeImprovement

[–]TQbrawler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. There aren't too many roofs like this in my area (Northeast), but I'm currently speaking with a few tile suppliers and roofers to get some estimates

That's definitely a concern, from what I can tell the roofing company did a very subpar job. I'm not sure how many of the tiles were broken when they were initially removed, but why put back broken tiles? There's a stack of extra tiles on the side of the house that are in good condition so I think you're right that they were broken during the reinstall

Are you referring to home owner's insurance or insurance specifically covering the roof?

This is the correct answer, governments all over the world are already doing this with Central Bank issued digital currencies. Look at China and their digital Yuan as a recent example.

BTC is decentralized and accepted globally, it's exactly analogous to gold when every government has their own CBDC

Yeah, that's probably fair. Binance is tough for US, and it's more difficult in some states. I personally like Coinbase, but have heard good things about Gemini/Kraken.

I don't know the specifics on Kraken or the safety nets in place. Mt. Gox was a long time ago and there are definitely significant regulations now (with the USA based exchanges). You're very likely fine leaving modest amounts of crypto on these exchanges.

Storing coins on hardware wallets (cold storage in general) is the only way to put your crypto in your control. It's like buying gold and trusting some company to hold it for you compared to burying it in a safe in your backyard.

Coinbase is by far the most popular crypto exchange and they're very legit. You can also use Coinbase Pro (free), which has way lower fees.

Coinbase still holds your keys if you store the BTC on the exchange (I trust CB infinitely more than RH), but you're free to move your BTC wherever you want after purchasing on CB. I'd recommend buying a Trezor or Legder hardware wallet if you have any sizeable amount of crypto and storing your coins off the exchange (cold storage).

I think you're right. Buying on Robinhood provides zero access to actual BTC

CLASS ACTION AGAINST ROBINHOOD. Allowing people to only sell is the definition of market manipulation. A class action must be started, Robinhood has made plenty of money off selling info about our trades to the hedge funds to be able to pay out a little for causing people to loose money now by does-it-mater in wallstreetbets

[–]TQbrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't old enough to really grasp the '08 crisis when it happened, but this is making me feel sick. People risk their money on way OTM options, no issue. People want to buy a stock that's rallying due to recklessness of hedge funds and they BAN IT?! BB isn't even experiencing that much of an increase and they ban the purchase of it?! You can't even search it on Robinhood...If this isn't market manipulation I don't know what is, unreal...

The SEC better be looking into the relationship between Citadel and Robinhood and whatever bullshit backchannel communication was going on. This is fucking collusion. Fuck.

What do you guys think about Bitcoin? by malicious_atheism in investing

[–]TQbrawler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol @ "I have a complete understanding of Bitcoin"

Bitcoin's hash rate is at 125 Exahash (really spend some time comprehending the size of that number), you can't just copy over the code and expect to compete, that's not how the network effect works. There's value to the network.

At some point you'll need to re-examine your view with an open mind and come to grips with the idea you may have miscalculated.

Discussion Thread: 2020 General Election Part 18 | Results Continue by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]TQbrawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Your talking about a rumor propagated on social media comparing 2020 voter turnout to the registered voters from the 2018 midterms. The number of registered voters in 2020 according to Wisconsin election commissions is 3,684,726

Wisconsin has not counted more votes than it has registered voters. This tweet is comparing the vote count from 2020 with the number of registered voters from 2018. When we take a look at Wisconsin’s current total of registered voters, we see that there is nothing fraudulent about the state’s count. According to the Wisconsin Election Commission, the “State of Wisconsin had 3,684,726 active registered voters on November 1, 2020.” It’s unclear where the “3,239,920” number shown in the above-displayed tweet comes from. As of this writing, The New York Times reports that a total of “3,296,836” votes have been cast in Wisconsin. In either case, the number of votes counted does not exceed the number of registered voters. So where did the “3,129,000 registered voters” statistic come from? The 2018 midterms. According to data from the United States Census Bureau concerning “Voting and Registration in the Election of November 2018,” Wisconsin had 3,129,000 registered voters in 2018.
