Fully agree that liquidity drives Bitcoin's year to year price action. And the good news is that USD liquidity is going up forever, Lyn.
I'll take it a step further: halvings do not materially impact price whatsoever.

Vivek's speech was full of (often gimmicky) one-liners, but he made an interesting analogy about time that ill paraphrase and expand on.
If seconds - the unit of measurement for time - were unpredictable, it would be almost impossible to coordinate amongst our species and plan for the future.
It is no different with money - the unit of measurement for *value* - and given how society has meandered and human flourishing has stagnated since 1971, it shows.
Sats are the seconds of value.

i agree that it pushes price up. the question is, how much? i believe it to be so little that it doesn't matter.

2023-05-04 01:12:24

- reply

of course miners selling less bitcoin over time should have *some* effect. the question is, how much?
my argument is that - in the face of bitcoin having 5000%+ to appreciate in price - how that 8% is distributed (and for a % of those, sold) is negligible.

2023-05-04 00:41:32

- reply

I have a few problems with this line of thinking:
a. it's not lower supply. it's a lower *inflation* (or if you prefer, supply *issuance*) rate
b. assuming that's what you meant, this still ignores the basic math of how much the supply issuance impacts price. see my meme above :)

Bitcoin twitter largely did not appreciate my assertion that halvings (green vertical lines) have effectively *zero* impact on price, and instead, people are conflating the halving bull runs with global balance sheet (orange line) bull runs.
What do you got, Nostr?
PS I say this, knowing full well:
a. the halving is a fun meme
b. the fed is reversing course just in time for the halving believers to (falsely, imo) claim victory

2023-04-11 20:04:22

Yes, Bitcoin (more broadly, crypto) companies are a huge target for scammers. Buy Bitcoin, withdraw, call the bank to reverse the transaction, repeat.
Honestly, we (Swan) have done a really good job managing this as compared to our peers, but we're always wanting to do better. A single $10,000 reversal is 1000's of customers worth of lost revenue...
Good point re: scammers could continue entering routing/acct. We'd be put in a position where we're only offer faster unlock times for people verifying with Plaid (which, to my original point, perpetuates the surveillance/honeypot element of this).
It's a tough spot to be in.

2023-04-11 20:01:33

- reply

Well said. That is the exact downside (further enriching a massive honeypot).
The value proposition to Swan is predictive fraud scoring. We already do this on our own (as a bitcoin company, you NEED to), but we enrich our data by tapping into Plaid's honeypot to get a score, which is ultimately based on whether the connected bank account has defrauded other platforms.
We wouldn't be pulling much besides the customer's acct/routing + that score.

2023-04-11 19:51:48

- reply

we have customers manually enter account/routing numbers

2023-04-11 19:45:27

Here at Swan, we've made it nearly 3 years without having our customers use Plaid to connect their bank account.
We're considering finally turning it on. While I hate the idea of helping a surveillance company get even more data, the reality is that reversal fraud is a plague on Bitcoin companies, and Plaid will help Swan to better manage the risk.
Of course, we'll continue to allow connecting manually via routing/acct #s.
Can anyone talk me out of launching with Plaid?

I have no idea tbh!
Couldn't centralized platforms build on top of DIDs, which would make the communications layer centralized, whereas the nostr communications layer is fully decentralized?
I'm just pontificating I am not at all up to speed.

2023-02-27 14:56:16

- reply

And if so, I can't help but think that centralized platforms will outcompete a decentralized protocol (in terms of funding, features, and so on).
And I can't decide if this is a major problem or not.

2023-02-27 14:54:57

Can someone help my pea brain understand the fundamental difference between nostr and TBD's DID architecture?
In my head, the latter uses decentralized identities with centralized platforms, whereas the former is decentralized all the way down.
Is that right?

Nostr and Zion are both revolutionary technologies.
But let's not discount the importance of Bitcoiners jumpstarting their network effects. Only an unbelievably loyal, committed, principled community of people can drive these from 0 to 1.
The pace at which we are catching - and in some respects already leapfrogging - the centralized platforms is breathtaking. Thank you to everyone involved.
