It was entirely technobabble and metaphysical nonsense with no character development.

Whether you choose to vaccinate your kids or not is your right. Just don’t expect others to “tolerate” your decision. Vaccines are required in public schools for a reason.

Regardless, your original post was about masks and how you felt they were somehow damaging your kids, which is bullshit.

The psychological “trauma” of wearing a mask is nothing compared to what these kids will feel when they give grandma covid over Christmas.

It’s not about them.

Check out dappradar for a more exhaustive list of the literal thousands of decentralized finance projects that are currently live.

You can interact with any of these directly from the contract interface itself.

I get that you guys like being an anti-crypto echo chamber, but you are really doing yourself a disservice and frankly embarrassing yourselves.

Having to trust your employer to treat you ethically when the time comes is such a terrible bet. I've been fucked on more than one occasion during acquisitions, since then I do not accept ESOP at all.

Conversely I have been doing a lot of consulting on web3 projects lately and it is such a breath of fresh air to have actual transparency and liquidity of my compensation.

would like to point out that HN was also saying BTC was over valued at $1k.

Didn't listen to you guys then, not going to now either.

Anyone can interact with a contract directly, you don't need any FE or BE at all.

I can't speak to the specifics of dydx since I am not a user and haven't done my due diligence on them, but with every other dex I have ever interacted with it is entirely possible to use their service entirely from the contract interface.

Its usually the first thing I do to ensure that I can access my funds without any external dependencies.

I view investing in these projects no differently than my TSLA positions. Over hyped for sure, but the potential upside is massive and I am unwilling to sit on the sidelines.

Right now I am active in a few communities and it’s been a lot of fun watching these games evolve on a near weekly basis. I relate it to Kickstarter but you actually own a part of the company.

You could create a viable investment strategy based around doing the opposite of what HN thinks and you would do extremely well.

I preach this in every forum I am active in, but if you are messing with more than play money you absolutely need a hardware wallet.

It’s sad what happened to these users, but they did sign the contract giving the hackers permission to access wallet funds.

This is a failure of opsec.

If this is your argument then just stick to your 401k and fuck off.

There are no repayment terms per say, just interest charged on the loaned amount.

Aave has variable interest on stables that varies between 7-4% and they offer an incentive bonus of about 3% MATIC, making the effective rate 1-4%.

My loan to value rate is around 35%, which gives me a very healthy liquidation buffer in case the market gets even more volatile.

My collateral is mostly BTC and ETH, with smaller holding of MATIC and AVAX.

It’s a really nice system, I get to keep my crypto holdings and extract real world value. Paying 1% interest on a loan backed by assets that are appreciating 100% a year feels really good.

As an additional safety precaution I wrote a smart contract to liquidate some of my other positions if I am ever at risk of being liquidated by Aave to avoid the liquidation penalty.

Your argument amounts to the same as relying on the police to return your car after it has been stolen and then declaring that as security.
