with many tech companies firing skilled people all at once, situation might become difficult.
META alone was letting go of something like 10K, which, i assume, at least in part are skilled programmers making at least 200K/year or even more.
It looks like we are at the cusp of UE rate to go up. Typically, bear market ends almost exactly at the top of UE rate, but, of course, nobody ever knows where that top would be. From prior recessions it could be anywhere from 6 to 10%, which is a long way to go, albeit it is a lagging indicator.

Thanks !

But I doubt these merit hunters even read replies to their posts (tried it several times).

They are probably just spray-shitting high quantities of standard posts around the forum in hope for merits.

Don't worry, dude, this too will pass. Just don't lose hope and keep trying.
You are legendary rank member, i suggest join some signature campaign here. It can easily give you 400$ per month.
Regarding fiverr or other freelancer platform, starting is a bit slow and payment is less for New profiles. But if you keep on working there and get good reviews then you can increase rates. Don't neglect freelancing platforms.

Even with all the calamity in the marketplace, Bitcoin has held up extremely well.  It's more stable than most other things even when you look at a 90 day chart.  When you look at what's happened over that time, it's amazing to see things so flat.  There was the FTX drop but not the volatility you'd expect afterwards.  More clear signs that we have to be in the accumulation phase.  Now is the time to be filling your bags with BTC and setting those bags on ice for 2 years.  If the paper Bitcoin problem gets solved, we could be in for real fireworks this next time around.

I worry the real damage to the economy that is being done by raising interest rates so quickly is yet to happen and that will unfold in 2023 - 2024.

+ Increase in energy costs
+ Increase in taxes
+ Destroying the housing markets

Furthermore Putin apparently is going to go in big into Kiev in January or February. Ukraine are basically asking for all of NATO to help.
+ Serbia - Kosovo conflict is brewing again after Kosovo asked to join EU.

I just don't see BTC being a single safe heaven (even if it SHOULD be) whilst the rest of the economies collapse.

I never really thought about it like that.  You are really enlightening dee peeps in these here parts with such profoundening insights.

In other words, it sounds like we are fucked.

Spiraling BTC prices - headed to zero for sure.

 


Oh golly gee.


Rome was not built in a day.

Just pointing out that you are engaged in lowcoiner and no coiner talk.

Why does buddy need to drop in order for you to feel good about being able to buy more corns? whether at these prices or whatever happens to come, without having to wish/cheer for BTC prices to fall?

Haven't we had enough DOWNity in recent times?  such as the last 7 months?  of course, even worse downity in the past month.  Why do we need more down just so that you can pick up an additional 0.1BTC?


ok... no problema with that, mostly.


Fuck off with your repetitive cheering for down..  ain't nobody got time for dat.

Edit: PS.  By the way, about 3 weeks ago, I received a pretty decent amount of extra cashflow from a source that was not expected.. and I largely used that extra money to plug in some areas in which I had considered that I could buttress some of my buying on dips.. and then to move down my buying on dip orders.. I am not cheering for any of those extra orders to get filled.. and I would be quit content if they did not get filled.. but if they do, they do.  

I guess what I am largely attempting to say is that anyone who has been in bitcoin for a decently long period of time.. (perhaps 4 years or more) should already largely be established in bitcoin in such a way that they profit more from bitcoin prices going up rather than BTC prices going down.. especially at these kinds of (relatively speaking) historically low prices... and especially the longer that any of us has been in bitcoin, then it should be expected that we would be stack/biased towards UPpity.

It's a bit of a weird answer from CZ, but it could be a kind of purposeful reading the answer out of context.  

because CZ is correct when it comes to the possibility that Binance will not have to give back $2.1 billion due to clawbacks.

So surely one thing is if clients continue to withdraw money, then does Binance have such money. .then the answer to that should be that they do.

Now the answer to a clawback question would be that fuck that shit.. we are not giving any of it back, and the lawyers will figure out a way that we do not have to .. but if we were to have to give it back, then we would be able to handle it.. but at this point, we doubt that it is likely that we are going to have to give it back because of what it was and how it was structured.. so it is pure speculation that we would even have to give it back.

I think that there is just a confounding of information and CZ should not have to answer those kinds of legal strategy and speculation questions.. so in that sense, he said the right thing, but it just appears that CZ is being evasive because the questions of client funds and the questions of having to give back the money from the proceeds of a loan are different categories of kinds of money.

CZ seems smarter than that.. and there seems to be some out of context in the clip, and it appears as if CZ should understand what she is asking, but the reporter rolls her eyes because she seems to be wanting to create an impression that CZ is being unduly evasive when he largely gave the right answer but it could have seemed to have been answering a different question... it is not a difficult answer if talking about client funds (being SAFU).. pretty basic.. but when it comes to money that Binance had lent to FTX and then FTX was paying it back.. that is another category of kinds of funds in which Binance may well not have very high odds of having to pay that back... that's why lawyers working on those kinds of matters.
