Oh no the terrorist/murderer wouldn't like this gadget :((((((


yes, that's the joke


Yes, but if you had for example 1 ETH in FTX when it went down, you're not getting 1 ETH back now, you're only getting the dollar value of that ETH in November 22, which was much lower than current prices (> 50%).


How is this related to my point? Ability to cash out account holders is not related to crypto being up


Lucid starts at twice the price of a Model 3


If I was interested in a Tesla, I would be in the market for a Model S, not another Model 3. The Charger Daytona that I'm looking at is also multiples of what I'd paid for my Model 3.


And?

Isn't the whole premise people are voting with their wallets?


I've yet to meet someone that was out looking for an ioniq 6 and if the dealer doesn't have one they drive home the second choice car 2x-3x the price. That sounds like someone just throwing out words. The Mach-e is in the same ballpark though.


We're replacing a single Model 3 shared by myself (works from home) and my partner (commutes). I make due now by taking my motorcycles, but that has some significant inconveniences. My partner wants a mostly-boring, sensible car for commuting (the Ioniq) and I want something spicy (the Charger). The two cars have two very different purposes and intended price points. So to your point, you're making bad assumptions about intentions.


Bitmex is very much a niche exchange, it only offers a handful of perps. FTX will let you trade pretty much any thing you can think of (crypto perps/spot, stocks, political elections, etc.)


Are you sure there doesn't exist such a bug in the US Treasury? They would never in a million years let the public know if an exploit occurred, there's zero transparency


"Remember dapps?" There are plenty of useful dapps that exist today.


Such as?


An obvious one would be permissionless lending/borrowing (Aave or Compound)


Not obvious as far as I can see. Just moving cryptocurrencies around isn’t necessarily useful.


Leicester was bought by Thai billionaires a few years before winning the league.


That explains the arrival in the Premier League, but not winning it.


It's been trivial to short bitcoin for years


In that case, I wonder why nobody has profited off it yet. I mean the volatility seems very helpful here.


Shorting is risky since it's not solely a bet on that the asset value will go down, but rather a bet on when exactly it will go down.


I wouldn't short BC anymore than I'd short GME, there's a lot of get-rich-quick metooism and as the saying goes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.


What are the odds of a 50/50 yoy event not happening for 11 years straight?


0.5**11


The guy is a notorious tether truther, but it's not surprising to see most of HN drinking that koolaid.
