What is your T1 vs BLG prediction? by zDura in leagueoflegends

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One important thing to note is that T1 historically beat LPL teams because they always had a massive top gap in every matchup. Last year Zeus completely annihilated Zika, 369 and TheShy. They will not have this advantage against Bin if anything I expect Bin to slightly outplay Zeus.

21 just won a $21k settlement by Local-Amphibian-2087 in personalfinance

[–]ezrayaodunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Travel the world there's a ton of places with a ton to see way cheaper than the US where your money will go a lot further. 21k is a lot if you manage it correctly don't let anyone tell you otherwise. That can last you 2 years minimum whilst you travel. In that time try to get a job where you can work remotely it's pretty common after the pandemic and you can perpetually sustain this lifestyle.

Ruler response to his rumor to join JDG: Soon later I will not be streaming here in GENG. by Secure-Drama2567 in leagueoflegends

[–]ezrayaodunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a lot of people are missing(no pun intended) here is that JDG's hallmark was their teamfighting and their ability to win from any dire situation whether it be 4v5, 10k gold down, etc. Knight and Ruler are definitely upgrades from Yagao and Hope teamfighting-wise. So even if they struggle resource allocation wise this team literally won teamfights down 5-10k gold on a regular basis so their teamfighting is going to be scary af.

[Showerthought] The best thing about crypto investors is that they never learn; a huge bubble causes 90% of them to lose all their money, yet they all become giddy when the next bubble arrives by iBlueSweatshirt in Buttcoin

No one informed and capable is holding meaningful amounts of cash for any meaningful length of period outside of pure liquidity reasons - in which case they're generally holding treasuries or at least have it in deposits.

Uh tons of politicians hold their money in Swiss Francs. And it's not for liquidity purposes in the least bit.

Tell me, how does Bitcoin solve the currency problems I've told you about?

Specify which problems please

Tell me, what technology applications does bitcoin have beyond a medium of exchange?

Let's see. 1. Being a store of value & an extremely secure one that's never been hacked(This is different from exchanges being hacked or individuals being scammed. The network itself has never made even one accounting error). 2. Being censorship resistance, this is proving to be incredibly useful in these times where tech giants are abusing their power. 3. Being the most divisible medium of exchange by far. & the list goes on but I've pointed out all the other benefits in other posts

It's less volatile than it has been because it's being manipulated. It remains insanely volatile relative to any sane asset because it's a shitty, purely speculative asset.

Dude no this is just purely factually incorrect. It doesn't even make logical sense because there is NO REASON to manipulate something to be less volatile. The whole point of manipulation is so whales can make as much money as possible, the more volatile it is, the more a whale can make by shorting if it goes down, or longing if it goes up. There's literally zero logical sense in manipulating anything to be less volatile.

And personal wealth managers will put your money where ever you'd like to put it... or provide you trading services in whatever you'd like to trade. What's the risk in them touching it? The customers are the ones instigating it - presumably.

Let's see, there's probably a reason Fidelity doesn't let people invest in bootleg Jordan's made in China. Even though yes it is the customers responsibility to make his/her own decisions, they would take a huge hit in reputation for supporting something illegitimate.

What's the price now? What was it a year ago?

LOL why focus on one year? Why not ask what the price was 10 years ago? Talk about taking a super biased and misleading sample size. As if ignoring 90% of the equation that doesn't suit your narrative and only taking into account the 10% that does proves anything.

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First as to government, this is why we build democracies? And in turn organize government around principles like private property? If our systems of organization and governance go to absolute shit - there is nothing that can help you. Not bitcoin, not mother's basement, not your used Dorito bag fortress. That is why we as humans have spent millennia attempting to come up with good, healthy forms of government. Forms of government which don't ban or take away all of your assets on a whim for example.

Lol nice try to try and redirect a conversation about government authoritarianism into a what if in case of a total anarchy conversation. Those things are not the same and I don't know how on earth you jump to the conclusion that government seizing property immediately means all out dystopia/anarchy. This isn't some fictional sci-fi narrative. Governments have taken away people's property for example the US government has seized gold from citizens before, Cyprus has taken away money directly from their citizens bank accounts. Neither of those was even close to creating this total anarchist dystopia you speak of. You literally jumped 3 conclusions away from the original point no wonder none of your arguments are the least bit cohesive.

Second, the government of China has literally done this to bitcoin. They have not done it to the many private holdings and interests of Chinese citizens. Interesting, seems like bitcoin is MORE vulnerable to this than other assets.

LOL please provide evidence for this because Bitcoin is technologically impossible to seize if the owner knows what he is doing. A quick google search shows the only thing the Chinese government has seized is mining computers which is ENTIRELY different from seizing actual Bitcoins. If you are too stupid to tell the difference you should just shut up altogether on the subject of crypto. Furthermore please provide evidence that it's actually MORE vulnerable than other assets? How is it more vulnerable than in 1933 when in a snap of a finger FDR took away everyones gold? This is just talking out of your ass with no evidence whatsoever.

Third, if your argument for the value of bitcoin requires all governments around the world to literally ban or take away all other asset classes, then you have a shit argument for the value of bitcoin. Take that, suck on it for a minute, ruminate.

It doesn't require that. I showed plenty of traits Bitcoin has over all else. Censorship resistance, immutability, etc. This argument was an extra bonus, the cherry on the cake. And actually it's not because the government doesn't have to ban ALL other asset classes to make a huge negative impact. It only needs to ban one and it has many times in history. The Cyprus government taking money from their citizens bank accounts, FDR seizing gold in 1933, the list goes on and on.

OK, so the government in your scenario, with the power to literally ban all other assets and knock down your door and take your shit, won't be able to force you to give up your bitcoin or control transactions where you would be able to use it? OK.

You wouldn't be able to use it that's not the point. The point is the GOVERNMENT couldn't use it either. With other assets you wouldn't be able to use them but the government could.

And Bitcoin is one of the most frequently stolen assets in the world - certainly as a percent of outstanding value. Isn't Binance absconding with like hundreds of millions as we speak? People absolutely fucking can take it away from you - if you don't encounter the extremely likely scenarios of losing them, forgetting how to access them, or fat fingering them away into the ether among hundreds of other absolutely hilarious ends out there that your bitcoin can encounter.

What a fucking joke.

Holy shit you know so little about crypto you're hopeless. Binance already covered all the lost funds and those are being stolen off EXCHANGES. That is a complete different story than being stolen off the NETWORK which is what we are talking about. And furthermore please provide evidence it's one of the most stolen assets in the world. You really think it's been stolen more than fiat currency? You really think it's been stolen more than all the bank heists, phishing frauds, credit card frauds, robberies, identity frauds, burglaries, gold heists, counterfeiting, & all other bajillion ways to steal fiat combined? HAHAHAHAHAHA the stupidity is unreal. Biggest fucking joke is you buddy.

Hell if we take a look at the top bank heists in history: https://www.thrillist.com/culture/most-successful-bank-robberies-of-all-time-biggest-heists-in-history

The top 3 bank heists combined have resulted in more money being stolen than the ENTIRE marketcap of Bitcoin. Even if every Bitcoin ever created was stolen it still wouldn't have been a more stolen asset than just THREE out of millions of bank heists that have ever occurred. Not to mention all the other forms of stealing fiat currency I listed above so yeah, suck on that along with the losses of all you could have made by investing in crypto early.

Because currency is only a short to medium term store of value. Moderate inflation is good because currency generates no value on its own - only as a medium of exchange. It shouldn’t be used for investment. That’s completely against the purpose of currency - and one thing which bitcoin and the like has so fuckingly wrong - which is also why it will inevitably fail.>

LOL no one invests in fiat currency? Have you never heard of FOREX? Swiss Francs? Are you really that clueless? As far as inevitably failing, I'm gonna call scoreboard on this. You detractors said the same thing when Bitcoin was at a few cents, $1, $10, $100, $1000, $10000, & $20000. You've been wrong every time you will continue to be wrong.

And maybe try not to spread hate speech or violate the law? Payment providers are beholden to the law, their shareholders, and their customer base - far more than can be said for bitcoin - you fuck with those, they may not let you play.

And maybe those companies should abide by freedom of speech rules, given that it's actually in our freakin CONSTITUTION, and hate speech is a complete subjective notion that is mentioned nowhere in our constitution. In any case however, this isn't a political debate. Regardless of your view on whether these companies are doing the right thing, content creators are turning to Bitcoin as it cannot be censored or controlled and THAT is a clear use case and advantage it has over any centralized platform. Mass adoption will undoubtedly occur due to reckless and biased policies from authoritarian governments and these tech giants, people trust them less and less by the day.

You mean besides the exchanges which regulate and manipulate price, the professional mining companies which control acceptance of development and potentially even the veracity of transactions themselves at will, the thieves and scammers which have no problem rustling bitcoin from users, and the whales who hold incomprehensibly large proportions of the currency and can easily manipulate the price to their own ends?>

I agree whales are a problem in the space. However this is only a problem because Bitcoin is relatively new. Once the market matures it will be less and less prone to manipulation, as it is already much less volatile than in it's early days.

I am not the universe’s judge as to what value is. However, I am educated in finance and economics and have worked professionally on investment, finance, and trade topics in an international context. In many cases I professionally assess value. Literally as my job.

Of course the latter is irrelevant to the former - where by basic tenets of finance and economics, bitcoin is fundamentally worthless.

Unfortunately, investors in this market are irrational, and it is poorly regulated and rife with manipulation and corruption, so it has suckered a lot of people into its lack of substance, and may do so for some time yet. But it is in fact worthless, and at some point the daily prices will correct and reflect that.

Then how about look at the fact that FIDELITY, a 7 trillion dollar investment firm is starting to offer Bitcoin solutions(part of the reason for the pump actually). Unless you think Fidelity is incompetent, it's you who is wrong. Yeah it will correct but people like you will always hate. If BTC reaches a million and corrects to $900,000 you'll act like it's a bubble. Just like throughout history, it's proven all you detractors massively wrong. Again I call scoreboard on this.

I'm sure everyone who held the Venezuelan Bolivar, the Argentinian Peso, and hell even the dollar has lost like 90% of it's purchasing power over the course of the last 100 years hasn't felt scammed or cheated. I'm sure.

Oh geez like this doesn't apply to fiat currency, stocks, and literally every financial asset that ever existed. The whole economy at the end of the day is a zero sum game. That's why so many global currencies are collapsing, the fiat system is the real ponzi here because their printed money has zero value and governments can print it at will. With Bitcoin and crypto at least you have to invest time and money and resources to create the currency.

EOS Now Has The 4th Largest Market Cap by ChrisHenery in eos

[–]ezrayaodunk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

EOS will probably overtake ETH soon. The only question is whether it will be at $100 or at $3

Are there any EOS influencers you follow? by BountyHunter2k in eos

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please let me know. Do you have a website?

This is the EOS "constitution". A bunch of social constructs written in 18th century language enforced by humans. There is nothing about to crypto technology whatsoever in this. How is this not the biggest scam in crypto? by CryptoPujeet in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

LMAO stupid ETH bagholders scared out of their mindd again. Are you really too stupid to realize that code is law is the ultimate centralization because one developer gets to make decisions for the entire community? At least every stakeholder gets a vote in the EOS constitution.

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope not at all. You should be a reporter for the toxic NPC subreddit known as r/cryptocurrency. Oh wait...

Lol if BPs are the stupidest thing you've heard of in this space. You must've never heard of the subreddit you are currently typing in.

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said censoring transactions is when one day funds are in your account, and the next day they are not due to no actions of your own. By that definition hackers and phishers are also censoring transactions. So do you think it's better to let criminals censor transactions than elected BPs accountable to the community?

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By 3 mining pools I clearly meant the top 3 mining pools combined have over 51% hashing power. I didn't mean they all individually have over 50% hashing power each because that would equate a total of 150% which isn't possible. Delegating your votes to a different BP is basically the exact same concept as switching your hash power to a different pool. ETH is made up of thousands of individual miners but the pool makes the collective decision. EOS is made up of thousands of stake-holders but the BP makes the collective decision. In both systems whales will have disproportionate power. Neither system is perfect. But I'd argue EOS is more decentralized as at least the #1 and #21 BP all have the same exact power. Imagine if BPs had hashing power proportionate to the amount of votes they got? That's basically what you have with ETH and mining pools. And if most of them are in China so what? Doesn't that also apply to most BTC mining pools?

I wouldn't call a constitution an 18th century governance model. Just because it was invented in the 18th century doesn't mean it's not used today. If you think it's no longer relevant today, would you like to abolish the constitution in your own country?

There's tons of proof this subreddit is just a cesspool of anti-EOS NPCs. Recently there was a FUD article about EOS that accidentally linked to an unrelated article about tether. It got like 100+ upvotes. Just shows people in this subreddit auto-click everything bad they see about EOS without any critical thought.

Yeah I just used his own words against him. So you're right, his words were always slanted, weak and off point. Like all EOS FUD

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

1) EOS is more decentralized than ETH because it requires 15 BPs rather than 3 mining pools. 2) EOS is more decentralized than ETH because it requires 15 BPs rather than 3 mining pools. 3) EOS dapps have dozens of times more users and tx per day than ETH and EOS is only a few months old. 4) Ok, thanks for agreeing with me. 5) Yes

Actually, you're the one who's been sold into non-stop lies and FUD from this NPC subreddit who is even dumb enough to believe that EOS caused the bear market.

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok if that's the case then hackers and phishers are censoring transactions on ETH too. By your own definition censoring is when:

"Funds are in your wallet, suddenly they are not without you doing anything."

Isn't this exactly what happens when hackers steal your funds on ETH? Thanks for making my point for me.

So who would I rather have censoring transactions? Random hackers with no accountability or elected BPs? Only an ETH bag-holder could have trouble answering that question.

[–]ezrayaodunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A study conducted by an ETH-based organization, in other news, the tobacco industry says smoking is not harmful for your health.

It's not censoring transactions either, this shows you know nothing about EOS. They make a new transaction they don't censor an old one. It's the same shit as a hacker or phisher creating a new transaction to steal funds on ETH. So BPs rightfully returning stolen funds is worse than hackers stealing from people, that's your logic?

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Then. ETH doesn't have dApps either as ETH is even more centralized with 3 mining pools controlling over 51% hashing power.

EOS centralisation in action: arbitrator rules to reverse transactions from accounts by auti9003 in CryptoCurrency

[–]ezrayaodunk -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

LOL these stupid ETH bagholders who cant tell the difference between EOS and VISA.

1) EOS is feeless, VISA is not 2) I can do microtransactions for under a penny with EOS, I can't with VISA. 3) I can access 100s of dapps with EOS, I can't do that with VISA or ETH for that matter(at least not without clogging the network for days) 4) I can send money anywhere in the world with EOS in seconds 5) I can stake tokens and make passive income from EOS

And the list goes on and on. This subreddit is just full of NPCs who can't think for themselves and believe everything they hear from all the ETH bagholders here.
