You could say the same for most of the modern internet, but please don't brother.

A reminder that the world is burning:

134TWh to maintain the blockchain last year, for 4 transactions per second. Some nuclear power stations generate slightly more than that in 20 years.

It's not just crypto buyers with this mindset.. it's been part of stock market investing for a while. Buy low when everyone else is selling

I made no claim that it was a purely crypto mindset, they've flogged this phrase to death, and continue to do so in their echo chamber communities.

It's not just a crypto meme to call price dips a sale. Same language has been used on stocks prior to the existence of crypto.

Exactly, and is a little ironic because when it really does go on sale, people become afraid to buy meanwhile deep pockets accumulate.

In what sense can it ever go on "sale" in the context you keep using? It has no RRP.

Sale in the context I am referring to is comparing to previous prices and future (expected) prices.

You're clearly really into this planet destroying ponzi scheme. You keep referring to something as a "sale". You have no way to compare the current price to the future price. Perhaps you portfolio is still tulip/beanie baby heavy too.

Bitcoin last year required something in the region of 134TWhs to maintain, for 4 transaction per second (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29769892). Some nuclear pose stations generate over that in 20 years of production. The world is burning, but so long as you get more people to join the ponzi scheme, who cares, right, it's a "sale".

I am long BTC, ETH among other things. No tulips though.

So, just the stuff that's really bad for the environment. Gotcha

I've made money through 2020 and 2021 with oil and uranium too. It offset the losses from my solar stocks.

"on sale" and "for sale" have different meanings.

Since bitcoin has no RRP, what is the context in which a retail "sale" makes sense?

Care to explain?

>That's hilarious. You'd think they'd know better than to trust code they did not write...

Most humans trust code they didn't write

Yeah, but these people are in the business of exploiting that trust. I thought they'd be smart enough not to have their own trust exploited...

Home hub is a spectacularly poor piece of kit. Long start up time from powering on, high energy usage, really poor software (repeat soft bricking from remote updates at random times of day and night), historically awful attitudes to security (see other comments). Everything was better rub as Telewest/NTL.

A post here some days ago (since removed) linked to a google drive containing generated images (which displayed nonsense), the hashes of which matched those of genuine problems images.

Reading the content from this person/organisation I don't believe this is poor wording, rather fairly standard scare tactics and threats.
