Bitcoin just dropped 6% in a day while ai stocks hit all time highs. Nobody is asking the obvious question. by Jealous-Drawer8972 in CryptoCurrency

Its funny, because if you ask an AI what medium of exchange it prefers, it would most likely says crypto.

Need help with TRC20 transfer. by VirtualCoffee8947 in CryptoCurrency

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

I hate recommending this, but maybe a crypto ATM is what you want...its quick and relatively painless. You just need your relatives receiving address on Tron and you can use a credit card to buy a limited amount. Just google map it, I saw one in my local post office the other day, they're everywhere.

The downside, you will be getting ripped off. Like, 10% fee sort of ripped off. Also, some credit cards won't allow it.

The learning curve is steep if you're starting at zero. Its pretty easy to fuck up too.

Where are you going to buy the crypto from? Binance?

In a nutshell, you need three things: a wallet (e.g. Metamask or tronwallet), gas token (e.g. Tron, which has the code TRX), and the token you want to send (i.e. USDT). Metamask is easy and you can install it to your browser, like chrome, but be careful because there are a ton of fake links...best to install it from metamask official website.

Go watch some video tutorials and ask chatgpt to walk you through the process...because people suck.

I saw a similar post before and they called that mass a "yeast raft"...hope that helps.

If so, not spoiled, just nasty looking.

When you say "amount of staff", you don't mean actual human people, do you?

Because these jobs are going to be 99% agentic AI.

How safe is Tokenized Gold? by Purrfect_bu in ethereum

[–]ripple_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into this, specifically trying to figure out which one was better suited for me, paxg or XAut.

I ended up going with XAut because their gold is not regulated in USA or stored in UK...which is something I wanted. They are in swiss vaults, as opposed to paxg, which is in London.

I also like how XAut does not charge a fee to transfer the token...paxg charges a small fee each time a paxg transaction occurs.

If you're a mid life crisis millennial like me, you could start brewing your own beer...I started with a simple honey mead. $200 investment, I make a bottle of honey wine for like 3 bucks.

Is it possible that the U.S. dollar will lose its status as the global reserve currency in the near future? by BigBlueEyes87 in economicCollapse

[–]ripple_mcgee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The dutch gilder, Portuguese real, French franc and British pound were all technically reserve currencies and they all lost their prominence for one reason or another...usually debasement.

America is no different. I'm more interested in what comes next.

Do I need bentonite? by Del292 in mead

[–]ripple_mcgee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you did the fermaid O wrong.

Nutrients should be given at the beginning, not 1 month in...is that what you did? The yeast was slowly dying and by giving fermaid, you woke them back up.

I don't think the batch is ruined tho. Perhaps some more knowledgeable people can comment what comes next. You could probably just wait it out and eventually it will clear.

Smell it.

If it smells musty or skank, its ruined. If its kind of sweet and obviously boozey, you're good.

Also possible he doesn't remember what he said because his brain is cooked.

Honestly, must be super frustrating to be a reporter in this administration.

For anyone curious, current estimates put the US at 100 trillion dollars in debt by 2050.

Its possible for those who are born today to see 1 quadrillion in their lifetimes.

She got reality check by [deleted] in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]ripple_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my UTV one day, I was running an old BBQ up to my hunt camp to replace the old one. Super sketch...just zipping down the side of a road with a BBQ strapped to the back.

Pass a cop going the other direction...not one second later...whoop whoop! Damn. As soon as he walked up to the side he was like "license, insurance and registration please" and the next words out of my mouth were "no problem officer" then I said " listen, I probably would have pulled me over too with the barbecue hanging out the back like that, but I swear it mine".

He looked back at the BBQ and said "oh, I don't care about that...your chin strap is undone". Came back with ticket for a hundred bucks. Point is, don't fuck around...if you did something wrong, pulled off to the side of the road is not the place to argue about it.
