Who could have known that a shitcoin based on girl whose claim to to fame is describing how she spits on cock wouldn't be a secure financial investment?
If you sunk your life savings, and children's college fund into Hawk Tauh, you deserve the absolutely hilarious consequences. #musings
No. Their integrated wallet is custodial. I don't use it. I move all my coins to an external, non-custodial as soon as I purchase.
I got it. But it's easy to miss. I typically ignore those types of notifications, but I did notice that one.
It was a classic pump-n-dump. She hyped it up, enticed all her "supporters" to buy as much as they could, and then her and her associates sold their tokens shortly after launch. They made a shit load of money while everybody else was left holding worthless tokens.
At $1 billion, 1 sat will be worth $10.
As of yesterday, 11 is the new 21.
It turns out the "Hawk Tauh" meme coin was not a good investment. 🤣 #article #blog

As I understand it, cash is only for face-to-face purchases.
According to the nostr:npub1kdkl4prkt7jmy8cdzdutqv8988vekl93nj4r25zpqpa5uacm9jkqnsjzq5 website
“Amazon eGift CardsPermalink
Amazon eGift Cards are one of the more private payment methods on RoboSats. They tend to be quick and convenient, but funds must be spent on Amazon.”
That makes sense. I've seen a lot of people using Wise, I guess for the convenience. But that requires KYC so it sorta defeats the purpose. Might as well just use PayPal. Anonymous transactions are getting increasingly difficult.
It's not p2p. Transactions are between you and the blockchain. P2P is a network type in which everything happens between two parties. And both parties have to be online at the same time for it to work. Bitcoin and other blockchain currencies don't fit the definition.
You didn't miss it. It's still over 100k. Now we're waiting for it drop by 10k so we can buy the dip!
Ok, so now we need a 10k dip so we can stock up on sats!
Please no. Not the mullets. That's the one hairstyle that should be a violation of international law. How bout reverse mohawk?
Leaning in to full dirtbag 😭
I'm petty AF. These people have been making fun of, telling me I might as well have flushed my money down the toilet for years. This was my moment to shine. But I had to settle for voicemail because they're cowards.
The way to ruin, maybe. I just imagine a bunch of misguided idealists who don't really understand the ramifications of what they're talking about sinking their bitcoin fortune into some anon p2p nonsense and looking sad and broken when it fizzles out and loses all its value when nobody uses it and the anon devs disappear (after cashing out).
And p2p is most definitely not the future because it's not scalable. The idea of a p2p digital currency that takes over bitcoin and becomes the currency of the future is utter nonsense that doesn't actually consider what p2p means in the context of a global, digital currency.
If Bitcoin was p2p, it would means transactions would require that both parties were online and active at the time of the transfer. That's not great. And it doesn't matter because the blockchain keeps churning 24x7 regardless of who's online. Wall Street "controlling" Bitcoin has nothing to do with whether it's a p2p network or not. These terms are being misused.
"Some downside" sounds like a bit of an understatement. No users of Primal's Wallet could receive zaps on the most legendary night of zaps. I'm glad they got it back up and running relatively quick, but still... It's sorta like when the outgoing message on Verizon's customer service line preemptively apologized for "some minor outages" when their entire network went down. Lol 😂
