  1. Someone is getting ready to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest.
  2. I guess we'll find out if Coinbase challenges the SEC in court.
  3. What are you considering to be an anti-regulation position? SEC commissioner was explaining how the industry got zero guidance from the SEC. Compliance with regulation is kinda difficult when the regulation isn't well defined. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1624829368915890176
  4. Got inspired to look up this story... I didn't remember any of the details... /csb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawnchair_Larry_flight

  8. Kraken actually gave you complete control over if, which, how many and when you wanted to stake coins with a detailed log of reward transactions. You could stake and unstake as many or as few of your coins as you wanted to, when you wanted to. Coinbase pays you staking rewards as interest for a few specific coins just for keeping the coins in your account. You don't actually have to do anything extra (or commit your coins). I'm not entirely sure how it actually works in their system as actually staking a coin involves locking it in the staking pool and CB isn't locking your coins. I get where the SEC is coming from. Voyager went bankrupt gambling client coin in ponzi investments and paid out interest like CB does (except they never claimed coins were being staked). What I find puzzling is that they targeted Kraken which has the most transparent staking service of the exchanges that I've seen. They didn't technically outlaw it. They claim that staking is kosher as long as exchanges jump through certain hoops. It's not clear to me exactly how much of a burden jumping through the requisite hoops actually is. I didn't stake ETH2 on Kraken so I didn't really pay attention, but I think they said ETH2 rewards would be released ASAP (when Shanghai update goes live).
  9. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/were-technology-neutral-at-the-sec-but-were-clearly-very-focused-on-american-protection-gary-gensler-comments-on-crypto-staking-79c71790 Sounds like it might not be quite the death knell for exchange staking service that it was being made out to be. Exchanges just need to get their ducks in a row.

Missed it by ... that much.
  11. I have had coins staked on Kraken for well over a year now. There was nothing shady about their service/system. So, how do you folks stake coins without an exchange? Do you use a soft wallet like Metamask? How do you calculate the tax burden for your staked coins? There are a bunch of tax services that can interface with the major exchanges to calculate tax reports. Does the same exist for reporting activity in wallets like Metamask?
  12. Also, I had meant to mention last week, that smirk Faruq made after introducing Huge made me legit lol.
  13. Upsets, cripple fights and scorecard leaders that just inexplicably die. There was a lot of WTF? in that episode.

  17. End Game should destroy Ripperoni Switchback is dumb. I don't remember Deathroll. <shrugs> Hijinx sucks. Captain Shred sucks just a little bit less? Rotator v Jackpot could be a fun match. Both are decent bots. Big Dill is Big Dumb v Skorpios Banshee v Valkyrie. I don't have any insight on this one Tantrum v Hydra could be a fun match, but if Hydra performs like it's last fight, Hydra wins easily.
  18. He's not called "Dr. Doom" for nothing! And for the record, I think predicting dates/timelines is a fool's errand. The trend is the problem.
