Before you get all insulty on schweiz there (too late, hehe), I have to back up schweiz on this one. You, taznecki, wrote "And 2)Blockchain != BTC. Suggest you google Ripple." You are not typing code in the context of this thread. You are typing a mathematical statement to get a point across. If that is your desire, then use mathematical operands properly, as used in math101, not in some "Comp Sci 101 class". ! is the operand for factorials. So typing "blockchain != BTC" makes zero sense to anyone reading the thread on a purely subjective level, not only because it is the wrong operand, but because it is incomplete. You are saying that the factorial of blockchain is B times T times C. Or, bchain! = B*T*C.....and? So what is the factorial? I know what you meant to indicate. You meant to indicate that blockchain is much more than just BTC. I.E., most cryptos are founded on blockchain technology, so bitcoin is not the only ctypto blockchain is. Most of us get that. Instead of trying to be clever and couch it with terminology and symbolism on a medium you seem to not grasp the context of, and not understanding your whole audience, just type out what you mean in plain ol' text? Saavy?
So off-topic now but most people these days know that != is 'not equal'. Factorial would be 'Blockchain! =', the spaces make all the difference.
(Haha, totally off-topic! Gotta' love those spontaneous thread tangents every once in a while, eh d08? ) Regarding the whole "most people these days" would know != means not equal to. In my head it has always been ≠. So "blockchain ≠ BTC." This brings up a thought... If that is indeed comp sci 101, is that a mandatory course requirement in primary schools these days?
If you lose the password or seed phrase you will not be able to recover your bitcoins on that wallet.
I will not try to drag you to my level in trading knowledge, that will be too difficult for you. I know several programmers who do/did jobs for me and none of them could make any money in trading. That's why they are still programming and I am trading. English is only the third language of the four languages I speak. I am sure that even in languages my level is far beyond yours. And the sentence you wrote was not correct in English. So maybe you should try a rudimentary English class to start. Do you really believe that programming knowledge is essential to be a good trader/investor? Or that it gives you insights in crypto's? LOL.
I'm a dev, that is how I think and write. I don't believe we need to dumb ourselves down to the level of @schweiz. You have a point, but I counter that if we are talking about technology in this thread rather than ranting, then the mindset/terminology/jargon should be of that. Essentially, don't be dragged down to their level. Savvy?
That's the way it is. However an alternative is to simply print multiple paper wallets and put them everywhere so you can't possibly lose them all.
Oh please enlighten us with your trading knowledge God of Trading. I suspect it has a lot to do with tea leaves and throwing darts. But hey if you are going to claim that, perhaps you can share audited track records? I'm not holding my breath. You can't refute my statement about blockchain being bigger than BTC, so you try to denigrate the software engineering profession? OK. I detect a failed trader and low self esteem in you. That might explain the massive inferiority complex you have with your statement that you are still trading. Do you want to know how many people care you trade sweetheart? 0. Not even your husband. So how many of your "multiple" languages allowed you to be a multi millionaire? Why are you posting on ET? Or is the fact you are throwing your supposed superiority around with languages another sign of a inferiority complex? I'm going to stop here and laugh at the absurdity of a non native English speaker trying to correct a native English speaker. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. ROFLMALMSOAFMS. You are a joke. Yes it absolutely does when it comes to crypto. Knowing if the project is complete vaporware or not is key to long holding periods. Then again I don't expect you to able to read code. I mean it takes a IQ > 90 to do that. You are ok though, the world does need janitors. Thanks for playing, does your bottom hurt? Should I use more lubrication?
I don't really have a dog in this fight, but "!=" is absolutely not in the everyday lexicon. I saw it for the first time a week ago; I wrote my first program in 1983. Tempest in a teapot, I know. I know.... But criticizing someone for interpreting the written word as the written word and not some various subset? Not what smart people would do.
Guys, let's keep it civil and professional, stay on the thread topic, and avoid the personal attacks. Thanks.
