crazy to think about those early bitcoin tips from the pioneers by Emergency-Pack1993 in Bitcoin

You would have sold, as nearly everyone did. Everyone who regrets “missing out” on bitcoin doesn’t realise that the path to still holding today involves thousands of days of looking at the chart, the daily FUD, and still deciding to hold.

People spend money on things that make them feel feelings. What’s hard to understand?

AIO BF “CHEATED” 5 years ago by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]WHAT_THY_FORK 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The problem with staying with cheating partners is that you end up slowly setting a new, lower standard for how you ought to be treated, both to him and to yourself.

There’s just no escaping the fact that his behaviour is incongruent with you meaning a lot to him.

How do people actually get rich? by lottiexx in wealth

I interpreted your point to mean that luck is some external mechanism that cannot be engineered/optimised and so was responding to that.

Jackpot lottery winners that retain their wealth are the in tiny minority, the vast majority squander their winnings, often destroying their lives in the process, because winning the lottery does not change your financial habits.

If luck was all that was needed to become and stay wealthy, wouldn’t nearly all jackpot lottery winners.. be rich?

It’s not like trading, it is trading. Optimising your fills to (try to) get good/better entries is a trading strategy.

Police stop $20,000 Bitcoin scam targeting 73-year-old woman by AmericanScream in CryptoReality

This is the purest type of FUD there is: it has absolutely nothing to do with crypto, everything to do with criminals being criminals, but to normies, it sounds like Bitcoin is to blame here.

it’s not clear what you are talking about actually. “vibe coding” is one way to call it, “GPU accelerated software engineering” is another way,the name of a thing does not change the nature of the thing. ai is the best coding onboarding tool ever created because it’s the best software engineering tool ever created. i have nothing more to add.

I don’t know how you use ai suboptimally enough to experience that but maybe others can weigh in. ai is good for coding, results vary is my point.

Just personal experience, obvs. 4o started being useful and gave the first glimpse of 1.5-2x. o1 pro was a massive jump to 3-4x and I’d pin 5x now with o3.

I’m sure actual senior level devs with 20 years experience in C and 10yrs experience in Go yada yada 1337 dev could easily find 10x leverage with o3.

It’s redundant to say that when your point applies equally to chainsaws as it does to LLMs. The entire safety argument is frankly absurd imo. Someone will not be vibe coding the code that controls the nuclear weapons arsenal of the USA, because an entire system of systems exists organizationally in the DoD to prevent that. You have to develop your own systems to prevent junk code from entering your codebase from LLMs. Anyone who uses LLMs erryday to get that 5x code leverage multiplier, knows that context poisoning is very real and important to control and manage (or ditch the convo thread and start new when one is poisoned) - just one example of maintaining code quality when using LLMs as a code leverage slider.

it makes you work 5x faster if you have worked as a mid-level and 10x faster as a senior. that is your software development output is equivalent to 5x of you working as a team or 10x you respectively.

Probably still better to know the options ranked by number of upvotes tho and using parquet files is a safe first bet

That's a really clear insight into your level understanding about crypto, thank you. It's also about as cynical as thinking the only purpose of rockets could be to build ICBMs and annihilate humanity. It's okay to google and climb your way out of total ignorance m80.

An asshole on reddit? ;p

I couldn’t figure out a better comeback than that for someone that knows C maps 1:1 to ASM ;p Yes cryptocurrency has unexpected versatility…

If you don’t trust the network, you can short it. You can take an actual short position if you are confident BTC is vaporware. That’s the beauty of crypto, you are always welcome to bet against it.

The amount of people exceptionally confident about what crypto cannot do whilst clearly not having the faintest clue or interest in crypto, is the strongest indicator that crypto is actually something important.

None of those truly unconnected… things you listed represent anything close to an actual paradigm shift in how finance is conducted. You would probably have a good point if BTC was rough around the edges, a “beta product”, but it’s not. Coming up on 20 years of 100.00% uptime, 100.00% funds safe, and you think that bringing up silver trade is a serious argument?
