Investors should know that if their crypto exchange goes out of business, no government agency will make them whole. That’s different from a bank, where the government insures funds up to account and institution limits. So in summary, banks fail. A crypto exchange with custody is nothing other than a bank. A shitty uninsured, maybe unregulated bank, but nonetheless a bank. What does that even have to do with crypto? First of all, unlike fiat (except cash) you don’t need a bank to store crypto, so this is a completely unnecessary risk you don’t even need to take. Second of all, there is no reason why banks couldn’t insure crypto deposits. This isn’t a magic property of fiat money, it’s an additional service the banks created. There is no reason why there could not be something similar in the future for crypto assets, but Bitcoin is only 14 years old, and financial services for it will still have to be developed.

> [@Aedaxus](#): > > Crypto exchanges are related to crypto, lol. It’s where crypto is stored centrally. It’s actually very popular, just check the amount of crypto is in the ownership of these exchanges… 😃 Crypto exchanges don’t need to store crypto for their users. For example the exchange I use doesn’t. I send them fiat and they send Bitcoin to an address I control. Taking custody of user funds makes them a custodian, not an exchange, and they should be regulated as such and in my opinion require a banking license. Also, it’s only a matter of time until regular banks start to custody crypto now. > [@Aedaxus](#): > > Ok, is it allowed for other countries to also exist and have capital gains taxes? You told me I profit from tax payers by dumping my non-existing losses onto them. I told you that’s not even possible where I live, not that this would not be possible somewhere else (well not for me, because did I mention already? I don’t have any losses) > [@Aedaxus](#): > > Sure, politics ruined your crypto as it added KYC to privacy… Apart from the fact that the exchange can see who I am from the bank transfer (because that is just how it works), there isn’t any KYC involved for me. Sorry. > [@Aedaxus](#): > > you clearly have no idea what you are saying but as long as you keep the attention away from the fact that NFT’s are a scam you are happy. They are probably not all explicitly scams, but they are definitely pretty pointless in my opinion. At least I have never seen any use that makes sense for them. But so far no one has actually explained the actual mechanics that makes them an MLM scam to get you to buy crypto. That makes no sense at all. They are just dumb links in a ledger to pictures that can disappear every moment if someone turns off the server where they are hosted. ---

At least I have never seen any use that makes sense for them. I actually don’t understand why he thinks you would be happy to be some sort of gatekeeper protecting a scam. this is clearly irrational thinking which is a problem because the goal seems to be to tell people all forms of crypto are a scam without any kind of balanced investigation. This thinking is irrational to the point that they have completely ignored the fact people use Bitcoin in other ways (transferring value and trusted ledger ) than holding it for profit. > [@Aedaxus](#): > > Sure, politics ruined your crypto as it added KYC to privacy… > [@Karak\_Terrel](#): > > Apart from the fact that the exchange can see who I am from the bank transfer (because that is just how it works), there isn’t any KYC involved for me. Sorry. Here he has limited understanding that Bitcoin and other crypto were actually designed to indicate a fiat value, so ultimately if one uses crypto then at some point it is unavoidable that they will exchange it to fiat, or the person they transfer it to will eventually change it to fiat. I’m really not sure what they would expect the value of a bitcoin would be measured against. This entire thread is becoming difficult due to the sheer confusion and absolute refusal by some to learn facts and gain understanding. these people have been discussed in the bible already; truth is as useless to a fool as legs are to the lame (Proverb 26:7) Therefore, someone who refuses to learn from his mistakes or who shuns learning and knowledge is one biblical definition of a fool. Why would fools refuse to learn their lesson? The Word illuminates: because they resent being corrected (Proverbs 15:12). A fool also convinces himself that he is right in his own eyes and, therefore, can disregard and even ridicule other people’s advice (Proverbs 12:15) (Proverbs 9:7) So @stefnia_Freir @Aedaxus carry on doing what you’re doing as it seems most people are already aware of your antics. ---

I’m really not sure what they would expect the value of a bitcoin would be measured against. It’s not “designed” to indicate a fiat value. It simply has an exchange rate with pretty much every other currency, the same way every currency or even good has. It’s also not unavoidable to exchange it to fiat. You could have a circular Bitcoin economy where everyone pays each other with Bitcoin just fine. It’s just that in it’s current phase, the volatility makes that impractical. You are not gona price things in Sats if you have to adjust the price on a daily basis (or even more). But it’s not a given that this will stay like this forever. ---

Good try but as I said I’m here to show everyone how you post anything in the hopes to promote crypto but no one has a need for a (not so) “private” money transfer. Except for the weiro guy who keeps on importing CBD “anonymously” in the country that imports 100% of it’s CBD under serious restrictions.

First of all, I’m sure Karak and you aren’t happy, that’s the general issue why you need to be promoting the “next thing” that will revolutionize the economy.

I find it odd that you can be so wrong about something but 100% okay with being wrong and having a totally inaccurate view and in no way shape or form prepared to listen to people who know what they are talking about. Your attitude towards this is seriously messed up and you just type anything without caring if it’s rude or unacceptable. Fantasy and hearsay is obviously enough for you as you are not interested in facts. Mining for any crypto involves confirming transactions and the possibility of that particular blockchain assigning new coins to a miner if their miner guesses the right number. **The only people paying a miner are the people willingly using crypto to do transactions, and people who rent GPU processing power via Nicehash, That is the only way a miner generates money.** Why would anyone pay me to use electric with no end goal in sight? and why do you think I would accept money from an ill gotten source? all of your posts are based on whatever nonsense pops into your head, LOL, I’ve never read something so pointless and ridiculous, this is straight buffoonery lol. You must be trolling, such a simple concept which is so easily confirmed by google or specific forums, or even reading trusted news outlets shouldn’t be so hard for one to understand and it really shouldn’t need explaining over 30 times. Let’s see if I understand your general point; creating a public network that can help to transfer fiat value is illegal in your opinion. And people who deal in NFT’s pay miners to waste money on electric with no goal in sight. lol. So they scam artists who don’t have much money, then they pay that to me to waste on electric? Hahahahahhahaha! Maybe you should keep your part time job as a clown secret. ---

I did not ask for prove, just for you to point out what the scam actually is. Appart from copyright infringement, which is like someting that happens maybe to a specific sub category of NFT you did not even came up with an idea. > [@Aedaxus](#): > > NFT can only be bought with crypto which isn’t related (as far as we know) to the OpenSea which in turn pays people like Aaron ‘a lot of money’ to use a ridicoulous amount of energy to randomly guess numbers… :D. Like pretty much all protocols supporting NFT this days don’t use PoW so they probably don’t even collectively use as much energy as the EVE servers.
