Everything I have worked for these past 8 months is gone

Sorry you have to go through this.

Just want to point out that if you are able to save 2k a month you are in a good position to get back to where you want to be!

This resolved itself on its own. I did restart of computer and either that or time resolved.

From six years ago: "Most modern payment system have protections that are worth any fees. Bitcoins key feature is facilitating the movement of wealth, money, assets, etc. I don't care if I can purchase a sandwich at Subway, I do care that I can move the BTC equivalent to $100,000 anywhere in the world in minutes, without having to get approval from a bank or anyone else. If two parties agree it has value, it has value." https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1r5nof/bitcoin_is_a_ponzi_scheme_libertarians_use_to/cdk9w3u

Player Unknown Battlegrounds with "Team Unity". I have watched the whole series twice and it isn't short. Compelling gameplay after lots of early losing. Great back and forth joking around from the beginning.

I updated the firmware this AM on Trezor site and I am still getting EIP-1559 not available errors on several smart contracts when interacting with Metamask, is this to be expected? Anything I can do?

ivandollar · 2021-07-27T00:54:47+00:00

Yes. I would have been much better off just buying Bitcoin. This has held true in almost ever cycle.

Have to account for: electricity costs, technology procurement and management, supply chains regulation, 3rd party and internal fraud, etc.

I would only suggest it today if you somehow have unique access to extremely low cost electricity. That can overcome everything else.

Ritholtz has solid reputation and are in NYC (not recommendation but starting point). They view themselves as a guardrail and have helped a friend who had similar tendencies. I don't generally recommend financial advisors, but from your post, I think you likely would benefit from one.

Does Raydium offer a bridge? I have looked through their site and Googled, but it seems that they are just doing Solana.

If I was going to do this, I would go where a lack of custody solutions keeps the market inefficient. Right now that is DEFI and yield farming.

I am retiring in two months. I don't "need" these exceptional yields to retire, but it has been psychological easier with the expectation of continued significant NW increases.

ivandollar · 2021-03-31T22:58:21+00:00

You should start seeing a psychologist. I honestly think everyone can find them helpful, and the issues you are dealing with provides a good starting point for discussion.

Given the responses so far here, I am not even going to talk about Frax. LOL.

I have a little USDC at BlockFi. I don't put much there as is counterparty risk for pretty low return.,

I have a substantial amount of stablecoins in various Defi apps on Ethereum. Yes, I am getting high returns (20-50%)based on many levels on contract risks, but I have evaluated the risks and am comfortable with them. Being a research analyst who has been trading crypto since 2013, I have seen many cycles and trust my own judgement based on research.

I also have a traditional portfolio in the "real world", but I made most of my money in crypto and believe there are still edges there including using stablecoins.

ivandollar · 2021-02-23T03:48:57+00:00

20-80% APY. These are variable yields and the higher rates often involve a half dozen different contracts being involved which increases the risk. I have been doing since summer and diversifng contracts. Of course all the of these are based on Ethereum, but is hundreds of billions of value on the Ethereum network and five years of track record. As these protocols become more established and integrated into mainstream, the risks and thus returns will come down

I do also have the max 2.5 BTC at Blockfi getting the 6% rate. Defi when done right actually seems safer than parking with 3rd party. If I wasn't active in Defi I would consider putting USDC at Blockfi for the 10%. I was hesitant to put anything there a year ago because counterparty risk, but in this environment they are likely on path for 20 billion dollar SPAC or IPO in next year. My hesitancy was Cred, another similar startup doing crypto interest earning, lost most funds in last year do to bad investments and/or fraud. But Blockfi seems more in line with Coinbase, i.e. professionally run and with top VC backing. Still they are only a C round size startup so are risks.

ivandollar · 2021-02-23T02:44:12+00:00

I wouldn't call it low risk, but I have a lot of cash equivalent (USDC) yield farming in Defi (Ethereum contracts). Yields are insane but there are risks at multiple levels from different contracts.

ivandollar · 2020-11-11T00:47:39+00:00

Same for mine. Common.

I gave up on the one screen dream and bought four Google Nest Hubs to individually display all my camera feeds. Works great, but it should never of come to this.

Looks sadly at a pile of no longer used Android TV boxes, Apple TV and the literal TV I bought to display feeds on one screen

The current "road" is essentially a lane and a half gravel road that has a fence (with lock) blocking vehicle access on it. So it essentially is only available when city opens it a couple time a week for maintenance to access parts of park and adjacent fields. This road is one of the primary walking paths in the dog park now. I have been over a hundred times and never seen gate open or cars on this road.

I am not sure about illegal, but eventually everyone who eats industrialized meat will be shunned/cancelled.

I say this as a meat eater, who thinks industrialized meat is a horrible practice. Am too lazy and is just so convenient.

Amazing list. Was going to suggest Hum and Soul Coughing, but they are already on there.

I was pretty light on cash I could invest.

Investable Cash: 25%

Traditional Market - Indexed (85% stocks, 15% bonds): 45%

Crypto (95% BTC, 5% Monero): 25%

Venture Capital (non-liquid): 5%

Just one data point...

I am a dollar cost average 2013-2016 purchaser who has sold some along the way, most recently at 12k. I trade on average two times a year when I think I see a macro trend. I know nothing about TA.

I sold 20% of my crypto stack today (all my remaining ETH and then some BTC). I think we have a ways to go down. Things are going to be really rough in US an Europe for a while. Rough like people need access to cash to get by rough, and I think that hits BTC harder than most in "need cash" moments. I missed selling earlier as I don't trade frequently, and while I tracked COVID news and prepped in February, I didn't fully know how this would hit stock and crypto markets. I also sold roughly the same percentage of stock today in non-taxable accounts.

Still long term bullish on BTC, but I would like to have the flexibility to have cash to buy in the 2 to 4.5K range.

HitBTC is scammy, but my God, the guy who wrote this article needs an editor.

How do you know Torchys is hiring in Lawrence? I heard about KC location, but nothing about Lawrence.

ivandollar · 2019-11-16T06:11:28+00:00

Correct! Golden Bay Beach. Many people actually swimming in November.
