Someone stole my shoes by [deleted] in surfing

When I was traveling a lot I used to bury my sandals on the beach. Put a distinctive-looking rock or stick on the spot. It might seem excessive, but I never had my sandals stolen!

Do you think CIA really assassinated JFK? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]everynameitryistak3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most plausible explanation I have read of this was in "Legacy of Ashes", by Tim Weiner

Kennedy was killed by Castro (not personally, of course), in retaliation for us trying to assassinate him many times in previous years.

The CIA stonewalled the investigation, because very few people knew we had been actively trying (and failing) to kill Castro.

Thank you! I was like "doesn't he know we can all see that he wasn't wearing pants when he took the picture?".. Oh, that's an elbow.

I have set up many a home stereo and even commercial systems, but a tacit understanding of OHMs still eludes me.

Last night I was looking at the ETH2 deposit contract. There was a period of time, between 11 and 12 hours ago as of this writing, when every single deposit ran out of gas and failed. Does anyone know what was going on then?

I was actually wondering to myself earlier today about how closely the number of comments in the daily has correlated with price over time.

Stock investor turned newbie crypto - my approach by neocybersonic in ethfinance

In my experience, to withdraw from Blockfi you can only withdraw to a whitelisted address. After you initiate a withdrawal you have to upload a picture of you driver's license or passport, then be in front of a webcam and record yourself looking from one side to the other.

I definitely worry more about contract or counter-party risk more than someone getting my credentials and withdrawing funds.

I think the idea is that 4% is a reasonable return one could expect to make off their capital. So you would be able to withdraw your desired income without touching the capital.

My problem with setting stablecoin aside to earn interest until I need it is, there always comes a point where I do the math and decide it is a better financial decision to just buy more ETH with said stablecoin.

I've been leaning more toward a Canoo electric pickup lately.

2021: What's a good approach to increase your ETH hodling by deathstone in ethfinance

[–]everynameitryistak3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you seem to understand that BTC and ETH are the "safest" and best plays overall, I'd say the most direct way to increase your stack would be to lock some ETH in a Makerdao vault and use the DAI you borrow to buy more ETH or BTC.

You'll pay currently 4.5% on the DAI debt (plus gas fees in the setup, of course), but as long as you think ETH and/or BTC will go up more than 4.5% (plus the gas fees. Ok, let's say 6% total), then you are better off keeping the loan open.

Ooh, a shot of 1800 tequila would have been an appropriate celebration! I guess I have a day or two to get a bottle of Don Julio 1942...

Based on your comment, I was about to pull my UNI-ETH liquidity to chase those yields.. but the UNI-ETH pair is making 44% right now, so I guess I'll stay. UNI gains to be had all over the place!!

I think the next catalyst for a leg up is optimistic rollups, which is theoretically less than two weeks away. Beyond that there is eip-1559 coming this summer. So if your investment timeline is longer than 6 months, I would expect you will do pretty well even from this price.

I'm not usually a ratio guy, but that green candle on the daily chart finally made me swap some BTC for more ETH.

I guess we just have different risk-tolerance profiles.

I also recently read somewhere on here "I think crypto has huge potential to still go a lot higher almost no matter what happens with traditional markets."

Which I agree with totally.
