It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yea and banks too get robbed. Except that banks are insured and in the worst case they can ask the central bank.
I would simply won't have all my money be reliant on a steel rod. Crypto is hot potato, buy drugs and throw it to someone else so its not your problem. Anyone holding it long term as an investment is a fool.
Idk, if I had enough money storing a little emergency fund in a crypto wallet seems like a good idea tbh
You can avoid the banks completely freezing on you at the request of the government/cops and you can easily take massive amounts of money across borders and untraced until you transfer back to fiat
Definitely not useful for non wealthy people though
right up until the value of the wallet craters because you picked the "wrong" coin.
I've had some for about the last 7 years. Honestly, I don't feel so foolish when I look at they money I have in the bank VS the money I have in crypto and how much either has changed since back then
good luck with that i guess, not everyone was as lucky as you and no one knows if you will be lucky either.
This is true. I'm not advising anyone to do it. I've already taken a lot of my initial out and got myself some stuff
I'm not rich, it was a modest investment that most would laugh at
