rich are doing it too though

If only there was a digital fungible currency that didn't require a uninvolved third party to allow.

[tattorack@lemmy.world]

If only that currency wasn't rife with techbros, scammers, and techbro scammers.

[jet@hackertalks.com]

Your right, its better that these bankers can deny a business its income.

[a_random_idiot@lemmy.world]

the "currency" is rife with scammers because the "currency" is a scam.

its a pump and dump.

all of them are. Every single one.

Yes even the one you, dear reader, like. Especially the one you like.

Thats why they are so unstable.

And its also why anyone that tried to use them as currency abandoned it almost as soon as they started, because losing 20% of your transaction in the 5 seconds the transfer and processing takes isnt a deal anyone but the most desperate to stay in the shadows criminals are going to accept.

It's only illegal if it's enforced

Hey that's what the Irish Facebook holding company was doing.

[reksas@sopuli.xyz]

or rather, rules for thee but not for me

[feelthepower@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

except there are things like tether and usdc which are fixed to the value of the US dollar permanently.

The first coming to mind would be Nano. No fees.

[qyron@sopuli.xyz]

One of those stable coins was once found to not having a single cent backing it, unlike what the team behind it claimed.

Risk for risk, I stick to the feeless coins.

[mrnesser@lemmy.world]

Oh to be sure to be sure

[_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yes that’s what they said.

[feelthepower@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I only say this because the parent comment was in reference to payments and the reply was talking about investment inflation / deflation. for strictly sending payments, stablecoins can be okay. but as for crypto shit as a whole I'm not a fan of what it's become.

[reksas@sopuli.xyz]

there is slight difference in meaning

[heyjoe@lemmy.world]

Not sure why your down voted. I have used them before to transfer money and works fine. It's exactly why it exists. I wouldn't store money there, but for transfers and transfer out, they work perfectly fine.

[thcdenton@lemmy.world]

Lemmy fuckin hates crypto lol

[chairmanmeow@programming.dev]

It's because supposed stablecoins often also end up being scams.

[heyjoe@lemmy.world]

Yeah, i get that. But the 2 mentioned are fine and not going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens. I wouldn't use some sketchy ones either.

[a_random_idiot@lemmy.world]

anyone with a functional brain and a flash of cognitive self awareness hates crypto.

cause its a fuckin scam designed to screw over rubes.
