  • Afaik coinbase does not actually use the Blockchain. It has a centralized own system for accounts in its system. It mirrors the value of bitcoin in its internal bitcoin. But you can’t buy bitcoin on coinbase and then send it to a real bitcoin wallet.

    I mean in the case of bitcoin it makes no sense for normal people. You have several hundred $ of transaction fees. If that would happen in coinbase nobody would buy btc.

    So your best platform for crypto is only mirroring the prices of the real Blockchains.



  • Ok when you said that NFTs are the same as any crypto currency you definitely showed that you don’t understand the difference.

    Please tell me how crypto is regulated?

    And I mean by a trustworthy entity like a state or at least a company that you can sue in case of error.

    What regulations am I talking about?

    Imagine you are at twitterX and have to pay some fines to a specific bank account. However because your incompetent ceo fired the accounting department the new people get the account wrong. Now your money is in the wrong place.

    However in most countries keeping that money is illegal and the bank will assist you to get it back.

    Now imagine they used bitcoin instead. They enter the wrong wallet. Once the transaction is done there is no way back. You could in some way try to get in contact with the person of the wallet, but you can’t even be sure you can get a hold of them.

    Even better if you entered a nonexistent wallet. Then the money is gone. No backsis takis.

    And don’t get me started with the cost of transaction, or the power cost…


  • Ok maybe we had bitcoin over a decade and nobody cared. It was mainly used by criminals and tax evader. The concept of a decentralized money system is stupid when they just drop the Blockchain and fork a new one once a too rich person got hacked.

    Bitcoin is not regulated by the government, but by rich people. Bitcoin has a 100% virtual value. An artificial scarcity does not create value. If tomorrow the the USA makes bitcoin illegal, it’s value will drop a lot.

    I mean the stock market is similar, but at least it is regulated.

    The rugpull was in the context of ntfs.



  • I think the kernel is more secure due to the philosophy of not invading users space.

    And the experience of installing software on Linux and on windows is like day and night. On windows you can install since Windows 10 via the appstore. However you don’t want to do that since most programs are in there with less features. For example vlc the windows app store app has only basic functionality and is really not worth it.

    So on windows you install some random exe from the Internet. You usually Google that and click the first link. This will send you to the fake website vlc.de for example. Then you install it and get free maleware with it. You have to watch out if the website is the correct one.

    On Linux you go apt install vlc or you Google how to install and get the command. Or you open the software manager and get the vlc app that is definitely the official one.
