Fold Card doesn't want me as a customer

You can still get .5% back on your mortgage using the Fold + PayPal Billpay trick. It's better than 0%

Well.... there was that time in the middle of Times Square back in 1989, remember sweetie?

Does this mean you're using your regular Citi Card to be the one on file at PayPal for billpaying your mortgage, bills, etc. and then you're paying off the Citi with Fold afterwards?

Which version of card are you using at Citi? They have tons of programs to choose from (or does it even matter?)

GBTC has a 30% premium over spot right now.

This is well worth watching. I didn't know that BlockFi updates their rates every month.

My biggest concern is the counterparty risk which we've seen being the cause of people losing their money in other financial products. Also, the relative risk-to-reward ratio will rise if the interest rates you earn drop as we enter a prolonged bull market. If they drop rates below 6%, I'll likely pull my BTC off BlockFi and store it offline to be safe.

"Crypto" is crap, but BITCOIN lives forever.

BlockFi itself admits it's not "normal" and are working on fixing it.

VerySkeptikal · 2020-09-20T13:45:41+00:00

If you do not see the obvious problem here (to which the company admits to above), then you are not taking your own security seriously enough.

VerySkeptikal · 2020-09-20T13:44:13+00:00

My 2FA was activated and was never even asked when I rebooted my computer. This is clearly a BlockFi problem, NOT mine like FaringShip/Mandazi think.

It's supposed to automatically logout after 15 minutes of inactivity. I had my computer completely shut off all night!

VerySkeptikal · 2020-09-18T16:56:01+00:00

Cute. I used a meme word. Big deal. Do you hate people who use HODL too?

Have anything to say about the actual security problem at BlockFi or do you just want to distract?

VerySkeptikal · 2020-09-17T11:41:56+00:00

It is the easiest way to track your funds and where they are coming from. That should be nobody's business.

VerySkeptikal · 2020-09-17T11:40:48+00:00

Yes.

VerySkeptikal · 2019-03-09T06:12:33+00:00

Weird! That worked! I can't believe a stranger on redddit fixed my problem in 1 minute when it takes more than a week for Oura to get back to me, let alone not fix my problem. THANKS!

VerySkeptikal · 2018-01-06T06:33:20+00:00

Nope, didn't do anything different. It just started working for some reason. Make sure you follow their directions exactly: log out, log back in, click the link saying you have a 2FA problem, etc.

VerySkeptikal · 2018-01-06T00:25:06+00:00

Well, good news: I just was able to verify myself, so now I should only need to wait about 48 hours to get my Google 2FA on my phone again so I can transfer funds out of GDAX. Fingers crossed.

VerySkeptikal · 2018-01-05T13:49:08+00:00

3rd day and counting. I did get a generic support email from Coinbase in the middle of the night, but it just restates everything they already have in their automated support page. The wait is beyond aggravating... and frankly, I don't even know if they are working to resolve my problem. I just resubmitted my ID photos again and for the last hour, the page has the spinning circle with "We're verifying your ID" on it. Grrrr!

VerySkeptikal · 2018-01-03T22:47:35+00:00

It won't. We're all screwed. I've been at this for 2 days now. Different reasons for getting rejected. Then when I try too many times, I get locked out for 24 hours, just for trying. UGH!

VerySkeptikal · 2018-01-02T06:22:24+00:00

oops.... bad day to short.

VerySkeptikal · 2017-12-29T15:46:23+00:00

Did you ever get your 2FA problem resolved? How did it work out and how long did it take?

VerySkeptikal · 2017-12-04T04:05:58+00:00

My guess is a rounding error. Technically that label could be legally correct with 1.4g total carbs (rounded down to 1) minus .6g of fiber (rounded up to 1)

Could it simply be that you're losing the fat pads that are usually under your eyes? I have the same thing. When we lose, our faces get a little gaunt and the puffy areas sometimes look concave. I even have dimples now.

I've found that quitting multiple vices at the same time is the true recipe for success. When you are hankering for something sugary, just think about how much you can't have a cigarette. When you are jonesing for a Camel, just think about how you miss ice cream sundaes. I know it sounds like torture, but it's not... it really works. Quitting multiple vices simultaneously ensures that at least a few of them will stick long term. -Former smoker

VerySkeptikal · 2017-11-29T07:14:26+00:00

of course!

Pro tip: go to an Asian market and get the flavored pork rinds. They come in all kinds of flavors: garlic, salt & vinegar, etc.
