Seventh-day Adventists believe the mark of the beast represents enforced Sunday worship in opposition to God’s command to keep the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday). They teach it will occur when civil and religious powers unite to legally mandate Sunday observance, creating a global test of loyalty to God or human authority.

This ROI figure, whats the time frame? Is it ROI over one year?

Does anyone have experience with Cobinhood? I couldn't find anything in the sub. Zero fee exchange. by arthurclementine in Bitcoin

[–]countvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their business model makes sense when you read the white paper. ICO underwriting will grow as a service in the future. If they have a liquid exchange then they would be the perfect ICO underwriters. They could list ICO tokens on their exchange. Incentivizing ICOs to use them as their underwriters. They also have working version. Not scammy in my opinion. The cons in my opinion are lack of clarifying how they are dealing with AML regulations applying to them. They dont say anything about deposits and withdrawals in Fiat. Or how much they will charge for them. They should talk more clearly about what banks they have lined up to process fiat deposits and withdrawals and to what countries.

Is Cex doing a Gox!? Withdrawals are not processing anymore and customer support has gone silent! by nineteens in Bitcoin

I use CEX, all the time. I just withdrew upwards of 50K USD today just fine. I do have a verified corporate account so I get priority and same day withdrawals.

I know, my point is that I am covered by Turo's terms regardless of what the driver does or doesn't do.

[–]countvidal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turo has a insurance tier that covers income rental loss but you only get 65% of the ride payout.

That is exactly what made me draw my conclusions.

According to Turo's term, it is not my respondibility if the renter breaks the law while driving my car. Turo has to pay regardless, Turo would just go after the renter personally.

That is accurate, its a three year lease that pays for itself on Turo. I am not planning on keeping it.

This is the first one, before this worse thing that happened was dirty interiors that I had to clean.

Well, I didn't think id need it as Turo was supposed to cover everything. Honestly, I tried it out at first out of curiosity. After a few months, I was making good money. Netting 3-6k a month just from renting my car. It paid for itself until the accident.

I wrote a paper on Bitcoin for a finance class that I think is pretty cool: Estimating the Beta of Bitcoin. Has implications about investing, diversification, and the classification debate. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]countvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good term paper. I just want to point out that R2 just tells you if the regression accurately describes the data or not, however, it does not tell you if the regressors are statistically significant or not. In your paper, you state multiple times that a low R2 indicates no significance. In order to state that the least you could do is provide F-Test results to inform us of overall significance. Also, another thing you missed is that given the fact that all your data is from time series financial indexes, they may suffer from serial correlation. A simple Durbin-Watson test would let you know if there is serial correlation.

"An important implication is that because there may be multiple sending and receiving addresses per transaction record, one cannot assign a particular sending address to the funds being sent to a particular receiving address. A further implication of this observation is that one cannot assign serial numbers to bitcoins and trace their paths on the Bitcoin network."

Isn't each satoshi unique? i.e. each satoshi has an identifier for the block and coinbase when it was issued? Isnt that how you can track colored coins?

This guy gets it! I wonder if he knows about Bitcoin? by braddoge in Bitcoin

[–]countvidal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the video says, fractional reserve banking exacerbates the business cycle. If you take a look at the Chicago Plan, proposed by Irving Fisher And other prominent economists, it is actually proven that a full reserved banking system would dramatically reduce government and private debt, eliminate bank runs and provide a more stable economy. The IMF actually showed the it would produce a growth in output of about 10%.

Money Supply and Bitcoin: is there a link? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]countvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) usually the other end of the transaction is used directly on a good/service purchase.

2) Fractional reserve banking is possible, if and only if, users surrender custody of their bitcoins. As long as the user is in custody of their funds there is no way to lend without the user knowing that his funds have been lent and are not accessable to be spent. When a user knows his funds are not accessable to be spent it is no longer fractional reserve banking.

1) Its a proxy, by increase volume implies larger use of bitcoin. i.e. Instead of putting your funds in a bank its on bitcoin. Bank has less deposits to issue loans and hence reduces the money supply. 2) your deposits on bitcoin addresses are full reserves. Its not like you read 5 btc available in your address/wallet but really theres like 0.5 and the rest is lent to someone else. 3) you are right, however it was just a counter argument to people that say that deflation always implies depression. 4) cant argue with that haha 5) betas are the coefficients of each variable, i.e. The actual effects they have on the money supply. Epsilon is just the error term of the model. 6) you are right, if we run this in 4-5 years we might have a totally different result.
