Out of curiosity I was catching up on the TikTok hearing and was hoping to hear the CEO grilled, and some of the chair gripping questions included: "Does TikTok access the home WiFi network?" "When my pupils dilate would it affects the app's algorithm?" Okay there were some really good questions surrounding data privacy and sovereignty, but those were brief islands of sensibility amidst the chaos. A lot of questions on the involvement of the Chinese government in the app, legal threats, and of course the ignorant tech questions above. I am aware of course of the crypto congressional hearing in 2021 and the recent one in 2023, but I recall only the former really exploring its technical implications. But after listening to these politicians bumbling around tech, a simple video app, that they dont understand, didn't take the effort to understand, yet are looking to ban, I'm not too hot on the same people writing laws and regulations around crypto. ...

I'm not an economist. I'm just a nurse who's fed up with the current money system. That's why I've tried to make this very simple explanation that you're free to use if you want to. Sorry for my English, it's not my first language. In the beginning, we bartered goods. A box of bananas for a crate of coconuts. We didn't have much material wealth, but we had a high degree of unabated freedom. Then we started using shells, resin and pretty stones as currency. A big conch for a rabbit. Our minds were already being groomed for a monetary system that would be out of our own hands. Next, some king or emperor decided it was a good idea that the crown should have monopoly on currency and the people in power started asserting value unto little pieces of metal. The world still consisted mainly of groups of people who were not being effectively governed. The wheel of time did not stand still. As time went, most of the world moved away from the bartering an...

Seeing all of this chaos with the Silicon Valley Bank just makes me feel like we still need to really help individuals understand why being your own bank matters so much. We shouldn't need to rely on the US Treasury or FDIC to insure our funds are safe. Obviously banks are unable to properly assess and manage risk in the ways they should to protect depositors funds. Despite crypto falling down this last weekend in the midst of all this news, long term I still believe that this strengthens the argument that individuals need more control over their own funds rather than trusting big or small banks with their money. It feels like we need to get back to some of the fundamental conversations that underscored the entire reasons behind why crypto was invented in the first place as that particular reason feels extremely relevant at this moment in time. submitted by /u/coltonmusic15 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/SknrYM

each year keeping track of my portfolio gets more and more complex. i use coinstats on my phones to be able to take a quick glance on where i am in regards to gains/losses but with staking and swapping things get ugly. also have an excel spreadsheet that i use for just basic buys/sells/transfers and then koinly for tax crap/reports. today i swapped some crypto and was updating my app and spreadsheets and realized… this shit is complex and sucks to try to keep a heads up on. in a way keeping track of things made me realize that my tiny gains if any may not be worth all of the effort involved so i may just consolidate my portfolio into some top ten coins/tokens and play the super long game. koinly helps but still needs a lot of babysitting depending on if things are on an exchange or on wallets. my cost basis in the coinstats app got all jacked up and now i need to go back and resetup all my coins/tokens in it. uggh. so…. how do you keep track of your holdings? has tracking them ...
