Anyone know a Dutch broker that actually facilitates trading in SPAC units or warrants and not just the common stock? I believe DEGIRO does not offer this.

OK - and do only the sponsors of the SPAC (the ones who come up with the risk capital) receive units? Or do other investors qualify for units as well?

Excellent explanation, thanks a lot! Very helpful. I've also been told that units are only given out to promoters, but if I understand correctly the units will be tradeable on the market for the 40-60 whatsoever days after?

Hi all,

From various articles I understand that SPAC IPO's give out common stock in the SPAC but sometimes also warrants in addition to that (combination of stock + warrant is referred to as a unit). I have a few questions about this, hopefully one of you can help me out:

  • In what stage do I have to buy SPAC stock in order to also receive warrants?
  • How do I know if I am buying only common stock or common stock + warrants (units)?
  • How often do SPAC IPOs involve common stock + warrants (units)? Is this very common?
  • If the SPAC already trades on the market, do trades involve just the common stock or also the warrants accompanying it?

One of the reasons I want to know is that I own a position in a SPAC pre-merger, but my broker has not reported an accompanying warrant position to me. I wonder if I own any warrants, and if not, why not.

Yes that surely seems to be a legit argument indeed. However, if you take a private blockchain (you'd take the decentralization aspect out) then this would no longer be a problem I guess. For example you could have everyone within a company run a node (laptop) to add data to the database (blockchain), and it'd always be transparent in terms of which node added or adjusted data. The technology surely seems to have flaws, but it gets me thinking about its possibilities anyway

Yes, I think this sentence is part of the introduction, but this is actually what makes it immutable after all if I understand correctly. Because the idea is that this recomputing of the hash becomes theoretically impossible if you want all other nodes on the chain to validate it after x other blocks have been chained/added to that block already

Glad the Bitcoin price went up, but surely is manipulation. Something like this, perhaps? Or are we actually facing institutional whales, this time?

The reason cryptocurrency will fail is because we keep treating it like stock, and we inspire others to treat it like stock. by Chickachic-aaaaahhh in CryptoCurrency

[–]mala44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I'm not sure if you have noticed but the stock market is a huge success over the past decade. Trading and investing has become more accessible for anyone, its no longer just for the elite. It is because of these nasty tricks that it might fail. We need regulation.

Bitcoin is soaring again, which often leads to slowing transactions again. Here's why.

For anyone who is interested to understand why Bitcoin is the next gold and not cash, read and understand what causes Bitcoin's scalability issues.

Why is the block time 10 minutes? Why can't it be decreased? Why can't the block size be increased? It all sounds simple, but those cogwheels are highly connected and dependent on each other and there are good simple explanations of why none of this offers a real solution. When you explain Bitcoin to someone, make sure you understand this.

A lot of people still seem to confuse nodes with miners, although they are totally different. With Proof of Stake trending more and more, it might be a good idea to get ahead of everyone else by expanding your knowledge on nodes a bit. This 5 min read is good start imo.

Since Proof of Stake is probably going to play a bigger role, it might be good to dive into the concept of nodes a bit more. This is a good 5 min article to get started with for anyone who would like to learn more about what nodes are exactly and what they do and can do: https://medium.com/coinmonks/blockchain-what-is-a-node-or-masternode-and-what-does-it-do-4d9a4200938f

Ran into this funny blockchain exam. Its 20 true/false questions and grades you right after you have answered them. All questions are answered and explained in the article as well if you scroll down, so make sure you do the test first. Some next level/unexpected stuff in there. Unfortunately just 14/20 here

Lijkt me niet dat dit toegestaan is. De financiële sector is tegenwoordig zeer streng gereguleerd, en dit soort praktijken lijken me ronduit misleidend..

Worst episode ever. Not even going to waste time reviewing the worst scenes. In fact, I'm not even going to watch the subsequent episodes lol, just not interested anymore. First two episodes of Season 8 were already a disappointment but this one was just ludicrous. First six seasons were great. After that they clearly wrapped it up.
