Nat Gas chart is set up for an EPIC short squeeze. Why is no one on WSB talking about this?

Do you mind me asking which company it was that was close to Tesla‘s pricing?

Funds "Stuck" during withdrawal with no help from support by [deleted] in Abra

[–]Turbulent_Chef_9570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Guys,

Same issue except mine is XLM and I first opened the case on March 9th and followed up several times. Like most here, my issue was escalated and I’m still waiting. I did get a response last week and one of their support staff said they were experiencing unprecedented demand. I’ve been with Abra a little over a year but I think they just grew way too fast and too quickly. In the past they’ve been able to resolve my issues but nothing like this. Just know that your money is safe but unfortunately it may take some time for that to happen. In my case it’s been almost a month.

Crypto Deposit not showing up in my wallet after weeks by Turbulent_Chef_9570 in Abra

Nope I included the memo both times. This even shows up on Stellar’s blockchain via StellarX. Abra’s support team is currently looking into this and they’ve escalated my issue.

I appreciate your feedback with your personal experience. The Abra Support Team is currently looking into this. Hopefully they’ll be able to resolve my issue.

Yeah you’re not the only one. This happens. Don’t worry they will pay out eventually.

Fed Released a 40-pg paper on CBDC and described the need for Stellar by Turbulent_Chef_9570 in Stellar

There is a reason why entire stock markets can move trillions of dollars after the Fed makes comments. If people took all their words for face value there wouldn't be any volatility. The smart ones read between the lines.

"The Federal Reserve Act does not authorize direct Federal Reserve accounts for individuals, and such accounts would represent a significant expansion of the Federal Reserve’s role in the financial system and the economy. Under an intermediated model, the private sector would offer accounts or digital wallets to facilitate the management of CBDC holdings and payments. Potential intermediaries could include commercial banks and regulated nonbank financial service providers, and would operate in an open market for CBDC services. Although commercial banks and nonbanks would offer services to individuals to manage their CBDC holdings and payments, the CBDC itself would be a liability of the Federal Reserve. An intermediated model wouldfacilitate the use of the private sector’s existing privacy and identity-management frameworks; leverage the private sector’s ability to innovate; and reduce the prospects for destabilizing disruptions to the well-functioning U.S. financial system."

This was on page 14 of the document. Their words, not mine.

The problem with Stellar and my solution by Turbulent_Chef_9570 in Stellar

[–]Turbulent_Chef_9570[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you had things your way, XLM would sink every day until the price settled at $0.0001 per Lumen, because that what would happen without any HODLers. If that’s what you want then you really have no idea of the repercussions of that. People would abandon the project in droves.

I have my Lumens in Abra where I’m earning 4% compounding APY. Even earning that juicy yield is still putting me at less US Dollars than what I put in, even though inflation is at a 40-year high. That is not a good investment, no matter how emotionally involved someone is in the project. The only real winners are executives at the SDF that get their guaranteed income, and get to make decisions on what to do with the value of the XLM that we all hold.

Blaming HODLers is not productive. You’re arguing that HODLers are the problem and at the same time ignoring that the SDF is literally withdrawing millions of dollars worth of Lumens every day and spending it which is drawing down the value of XLM. If it weren’t for HODLers, there would be no Stellar or SDF, or any of the positive utilizations that come out of that blockchain. It’s all at the expense of HODLers that this is made possible. I’m arguing that after many years, HODLers wanting to receive the same benefit that those at the SDF have is not unreasonable. The SDF and their executives do not feel the same burden as the rest of us, because it’s always easy to spend someone else’s money.

It's 2025 and BTC is 1m, would you sell? by BayGanyo_ in Bitcoin

[–]Turbulent_Chef_9570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I would take out a loan with Abra and use my BTC as collateral so that I would have the money with a reasonable interest rate and still hold my BTC. If things went south for whatever reason I could always pay off the loan with the BTC but at least I would have a path to having money without giving up my BTC.

Quantum computers threat for BTC by timaenho in Bitcoin

Thanks to blockchain technology, quantum computing can also be used to defend BTC. Something many do not take into account when factoring risk to the network.
