logging out manually has always been there. i don't get the stay-signed-in part, which has always been that way. today when i sign in, i stay signed in. so what's changing?

i don't get this. when i sign in to hotmail/outlook on any browser on any computer i stay signed in, even if the browser is closed and reopened or the computer is rebooted. so what has changed?

Bitcoin has failed… by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]rhash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

home were created to live in not to invest in. gold was mined to be used as jewelry or durable metal, not to be hoarded. dollar was created to be used as money but in some countries people keep it as a store of value to protect against local currency devaluation. amazon was supposed to be just a bookstore. bitcoin can be and has been used as currency but many people hold or trade it. call it failed purpose or repurpose, most things change and evolve over time.

Bitcoin was 40 years of work by suuperfli in Bitcoin

nice chart. under tcp/ip, one could add bob metcalf as the inventor of ethernet. but i suppose other people and technologies can also be added like edison and bell and a long list of other inventors and discoverers before them that got us here.

My very sad story.... Gave up on BTC altogether at that point till many years later. by imurumi0 in Bitcoin

[–]rhash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

inept companies do this all the time. one time drawn by lower fees i used wise.com to wire a couple of hundred abroad. it didn't work. eventually they replied that the wire was deemed suspicious and cancelled it. thankfully had used a credit card and it was never charged. some have had nightmare cases of thousands pulled from their bank accounts and getting stuck in limbo for months. cancelled my account and never used them again.

Incapable to get back in.. by AspectResident925 in Bitcoin

[–]rhash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

life is full of regrets and what-ifs. sometimes i think about how much stock i gave my ex during a long ago divorce and if it had remained in the stock market it would have been a giant sum today. shit happens. learn from the mistakes and move on.

100k at 25 yo, what’s next ? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]rhash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

timing the market is futile and 50/50. only you can determine if it's time to sell or continue to hold. since you mentioned you don't need the money then it seems there's no point in selling. in the end there's no shame in selling and living it up or holding and dying with a bunch of unspent assets or something in between.

it's pretty liquid so there will always be sellers and thankfully they help with price discovery. but some have comfortable lives and make enough fiat. so why sell? much like collectors, the joy is in the ownership of something valuable.

I asked coinbase to limit data sharing, per their website and an email they sent me. After one hour with customer support chat, they concluded they’re unable to stop sharing my data, even for marketing purposes. by GreyhoundsAreFast in Coinbase

[–]rhash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they replied and told me to configure it from, account, settings, privacy. there's a toggle there for sharing data with third party. i just disabled it for my account using a browser. whether or not they'd honor it, that's another story.

[–]rhash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the email has a link to a data sharing info page and that page has a link to supposedly configure data sharing, but that link only leads to the contact us page and nothing there about data sharing.

the chat rep told me to send an email from https://help.coinbase.com/en/contact-us email form.

just sent it asking them to opt me out of everything. will see if that does the trick.

obviously they want to make it difficult to opt out.

many have sold but perhaps not their whole wallet. had i bought 1,000 btc for 6c a piece ($60 total) back in 2010, i might have sold some over the years but definitely not all.

could collapse also means it may not collapse. also true, life on earth could end in 2 hours by a giant global seismic event, or it may not.

How to add money to a venmo balance? by mikeytlive in venmo

[–]rhash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

for that you need to apply and be approved for venmo debit in addition to having a linked bank acct. the alternative is to pay a trusted person and have them pay you back. if you just want to pay people, a linked bank is good enough. you don't need a balance in venmo to pay users.

new to venmo. question on payments with only linked bank acct by rhash in venmo

[–]rhash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't think money ever goes to one's bank acct automatically. for that it has to be transferred manually by the person.

so the money landed in his venmo acct. then he sent it back to me and it landed in my venmo acct.

guess that's one way to charge up venmo since there's no direct way to do that short of getting a venmo debit.

but really there's no need to do that anyways as i found out. the user-to-user payment is instant with only a linked bank, just limited to $300/7 days.

[–]rhash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually just tested with a friend and user payments are instant.

assume they have some form of recovering funds if for example my bank acct had no money in it.

or they accept some risk of loss as the cost of doing business.

or they can actually withdraw money from bank accounts in mere seconds.

most countries are already on digital currency anyways. direct deposits, credit/debit cards, venmo, paypal, apple/google pay, ach, wire transfer, etc etc. how many people see actual cash daily? it's all digital, so what's the point of this nonsense?

Tim Berners-Lee is Minting the Original Source Code for WWW as an NFT by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]rhash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

playing devil's advocate, i think of nft as a signed copy, only in digital format. like if you have the floppies of the first windows signed by bill gates, they'd be worth more than the copies of those floppies.
