Cryptocurrencies

[OngBonga]

Well we're kind of at the point in computing evolution where not all complex systems can be gamed. Cryptocurrency is part of this evolution. I think bitcoin is flawed in that it can be brought down by a 51% attack, but good luck acquiring 51% of bitcoin, and if you do, why the hell would you want to set it on fire? I think that's bitcoin's only security vulnerability, which is ludicrously low risk.

This event is basically human error. This kind of attack wasn't foreseen when developing the ecosystem. Or maybe it was seen and that made it an excellent opportunity for a scam. The entire coin from launch might have been an elaborate scam. It's incredible if that's the case. It's certainly a non-zero percent possibility.

I'll admit this is axiomatic, but I don't think what you're proposing is possible. Maybe in a vacuum, but BTC exists within and among other systems. For example, it was gamed by Elon Musk via twitter. I'm agnostic as to whether or not all systems can be gamed to the point of being broken, but I lean towards the negative-- that is, a well designed system recognizes that it will be gamed and preemptively co'ops these flaws and folds them into the system. The US constitution's systems of checks and balances being an example-- it seeks to utilize the ambitions of individuals and institutions to keep any one individual or institution from gaining enough power to break the system. It's still getting gamed though.

Would be wild if Do Kwon was the architect of this all. The Twitter thread on how it can be attacked and all. All to obfuscate the rug pull. Hell, maybe he doesn't even do the attack, but just outlines it, let's some random (billionaire) make off with the loot-- all the while he's secured generational wealth and there's no direct thread of conspiracy. Some real Sun Tzu shit.

Obv I'm just spitballing, I don't think there is any reason to think this is likely, but it's fun to armchair-scammer.

In principle, any cryptocurrency can be managed, but it will require many resources that not many people have. For example, Elon Musk skillfully used his influence and opportunities to make money on the difference between stocks and cryptocurrencies. Of course, sometimes it looked a little pathetic. For the most part, such activities are carried out by people without capital and the opportunity to earn from innovations. It is very important to explore new analysis methods constantly, for example, backtesting spreadsheet. Only by constantly improving can certain results be achieved

It's been a while since we've had some spam. I'll let this one go until he posts a backlink.

I first read his name as Staycation, which sounded kind of cool. Being named Stacytion instead should itself be grounds for banning.
