$VVV burns are increasing about ~1% a day $9,000 daily $VVV burn on July 17th $24,150 daily $VVV burn on October 25th At this rate, January will start with $45,000 of daily $VVV burns, and end with $62,000 daily $VVV burn Lower that assumption by 33%, and you get $300,000 daily $VVV burn in December 2027

I think it's weird how few people are troubled by the gist of Sayed's Islamophobia defense. If you say that asking about support for the Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamophobic attack on your religion, then at some level you're suggesting -- or at least encouraging the inference -- that the MB's form of Islam defines or informs your interpretation of Islam. There are lots of Muslims that don't subscribe to the MB version and when you ask them about the Muslim Brotherhood, they don't respond by saying "how dare you attack my religion?"

Life is short. Just bid and forget.
If you are mid to long term bullish, but derisking short term You are expressing the opinion that you will beat the market twice in the short term First time that you will derisk high enough and second time you will be able to buy back in low enough That's two additional short term trades you need to nail on top of your long term view

Incredibly informative conversation with @hrkrshnn and @odysseas_eth My takeaways: - Without intervention, data on the internet becomes a free-for-all. The cost to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data is/has dropped to 0. - As a result, companies will do 1 of 3 things: -- 1. Increase security spend so that defensive spend>offensive spend -- 2. Offload data security responsibilities to 3rd party companies who do it as a service -- 3. Simply delete the data that they don't want the responsibility of securing. - Is crypto safe? For the most part, yes, because the economic incentive to protect crypto-assets has been very high for a long time. Coinbase/Fireblocks et are under constant barrage of attempted hackings all the time. Still, continued cyber defense investment is a MUST. Crypto is a head of the curve, but the curve is advancing anyay - Holy f this is so bullish $VVV. So many companies will want to mimimize their data footprints while also will need to be doing AI inference. Venice sells this as a product. - Holy f this is so bullish $ZEC. Everyone's data, financial or otherwise, will likely be stolen from the companies that store it. Privacy is so fucking in. Traceable blockchains that can be linked to exposed identities (i.e. Ledger data breach) are so out. The worst case scenario is that everyones personal info is out in the wild, and this includes all your finances and assets. Zcash hides this again. zillions
