Re: What the hell is (a) bitcoin?
I don't think Bitcoin will ever totally die. People need it to buy drugs (though maybe a new currency will emerge). I was going to buy a little at $10000. But it has rallied a bit.

Re: What the hell is (a) bitcoin?
Checking in on the “does blockchain have any productive uses yet” question: lol.
I Looked Into 34 Top Real-World Blockchain Projects So You Don’t Have To
TL;DR: The top #1 Google result for “blockchain production users” (and related queries) lists 34 individual “real world blockchain” projects. One would expect some actual functioning projects that have an impact on every-day consumers — outside of cryptocurrency & NFTs. Looking into all 34, I found that 13 are already dead (including one that has been killed by the SEC), 6 are only useful within the crypto & NFT ecosystems and not in the “real world” and 14 use Blockchain in a way where removing the blockchain would not impact functionality at all, or make the product better. The remaining project is Chainalysis, which has real-world impact by helping law enforcement de-anonymizing blockchain users.

Blockchain use case yay or nay?
Can we gamify GRB so that every time you make a post you get part of an Ethereum token or something?

Re: What the hell is (a) bitcoin?
I bought some bitcoin and ethereum along with some USDC on Voyager. Only about 1% of my net worth but it's been locked up for almost 2 months now. Part of the reason motivating me was the Mark Cuban promotion of Voyager (figured it would be legitimate) but it looks like Voyager made a stupid non collateralized loan of 650 million to 3AC (who the hell makes a loan of 650 million and doesn't require any collateral?). Anyway, I still have about 17k in there waiting for the bankruptcy process to complete.
Anyone else have crypto on Voyager?
