POAP ->

No problem. I didn't do any of the hard work; this is its own hosted instance. I'd like to try again and host a dedicated one myself soon.

Hello. I am here for the ethfinance from reddit. Tbh I sold and I am done u til we see how the court cases end up. May take years. Can't risk my money during this financial environment.

Fair enough, always good to manage your risk and enjoy profits! Just keep in mind some of the most unexpected rallies occur during the most fearful times, the "crypto is dead" phase of the market. Or as Wall Street says, the market can "climb the wall of worry."

Anyone knows any good apps for kbin?

kbrot, (edited )

Unfortunately their mobile apps are still under heavy development and I couldn't even find the repo. Luckily the site renders pretty decently on mobile.

It's very much the beta, wild west stage of KBin (and all the fediverse really). A mixture of excitement at a new web frontier and anxiety for sure. This feels like 2004/2005 to me.

edit: i should add -- and i'll talk more about this as the magazine (subreddit) / mag begins to fill out... the whole point of KBin, Lemmy, and the entire fediverse is that it's all connected. think of it less like reddit vs twitter and more like... Gmail vs Yahoo Mail, in that all the content can be read by any program you prefer. so, there are apps available for the Mastodon (federated Twitter) protocol such as Mammoth, Tusker, and tusky. and you can read Lemmy/KBin threads on those apps, just formatted for Mastodon. might not be ideal but it's a start! we're very early to all this so it's new to us all! share any tips you come across too

Any thoughts on the S&P 500 entering a bull market and what that means for eth?

kbrot,

With my only real remaining "event" being the fed rate cut and that being delayed now at least a year, it seems to align with a final bull run for crypto before a secular bear. By that I mean what I've theorized for a while -- that BTC would have a new, lackluster top ~100k and ETH would have a grand blowoff $10k-15k -- could happen in this timeframe.

2019 (wave 1 bull, flat to dippy) -- 2020 (wave 2 boring then parabola begins) -- 2021 (wave 3 parabolic rise and disbelief blowoff top).

2023 (wave 1 bull, flat to dippy) -- 2024 (wave 2 boring then parabola begins) -- 2025 (wave 3 parabolic rise and disbelief blowoff top).

Veltoss,

Can we rely on market "traditions" like secular bulls/bears when crypto will just be getting it's legs and becoming more of an actual utility with real businesses and ways to actually prove to the world that it is worth a damn right when you're suspecting we enter a years long bear market? I can only imagine we'll be seeing lots of great adoption over the next few years, we're already seeing a lot of good development compared to previous bear market development. It would be like the dotcom bubble busting the moment people realized the internet actually isn't worthless rather than the other way around.

When I think of it like the dotcom bubble it feels more like the real crypto bubble hasn't truly begun, or maybe I've had too much koolaid.

Personally, I've learned to keep the tech and the market separate in my mind as an investor.

crypto will just be getting it's legs and becoming more of an actual utility with real businesses and ways to actually prove to the world that it is worth a damn

Unfortunately, we've been saying this for eight years now (I was around before the EEA press releases) and it just doesn't seem to matter. The tech is always moving forward, but the market reaction to it from an industrial perspective is as cyclical as always.

I think I got shadowbanned on r/ef ;( Someone let u/TeamRedundancyTeam know I didn't forget about them!

edit: nevermind

strawdar,

Something weird is going on. I just asked about if the old ethfinance discord is still active and now my post isn't showing up...

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Hmm, very strange...

strawdar,

Update, my post just appeared. I wonder if it got auto-flagged as spam somehow and needed manual approval.

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Mine did too. Must've be some shadowy MKUltra shit going down at reddit HQ with the blackout/exodus/AMA coming up.

Wooo Kbin! Testing it out :D

Hi, I just signed up for kbin.social. First impressions:

  • Can't I set a profile picture? (edit: found it!)
  • This seems a bit slower than lemmy - I guess everything is overloaded right now
  • Are you running your own kbin instance @kbrot? Seems like we're just using the main kbin instance right now?
kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Hey, welcome!

  • Definitely overloaded. Every instance across the protocol is unfortunately. It's gonna be a rough few days/weeks as servers get spun up. But it's... low-key exciting? Idk to me it feels like the first "new" thing on the internet in well over a decade. I know it's not new new, but it went mostly unused since creation.

  • And yes, we're currently contributing to that. We're on the KBin.social instance, not a self-hosted one. I was having a tough time spinning up the Lemmy instance on a secure site and I wanted something for us on the 12th so folks could gather. It's far from ideal.

Chromes,

Just want to say thanks for doing the work here. I'll mostly continue to lurk/mooch. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I owe pretty much all my success in this space to other people's hard work.

I wish I had some webmaster skills to set it up myself, or some social skills to pull a community over, but I have neither. 😂 Trying out kbin for a day on the 12th is a good idea, I love it! 👍

kbrot avatar

For sure, I was not at all what could be called server admin / webmaster / moderator prior to this week. I've learned an insane amount in a few short days and we can learn together!

I think Ethereum is rather nice.

refugeddit,

Yeah, I heard it's built by a lot of nerds

refugeddit, in Daily General Discussion - June 9, 2023

My alts are in shambles today, good time to scoop up I guess

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Yeah it's a messy day. Come on over and test out our new (I know I know another URL?!) server at https://ethfinance.duckdns.org/m/ethfinance/t/2/Daily-General-Discussion-June-10-2023. This one is truly decentralized, owned by us EthFinanciers. Much faster and scalable.

I sent you a message about this, but I have no idea how or if kbin messages work.

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

I saw it, thanks. Definitely considering switching. I'm just struggling with the email server right now.

refugeddit, in NOT YET OPERATIONAL -- New Wholly EthFinance-Owned KBin Server

do i need to register again, or can I use my current account?

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

You'd register again, and I do see you did that. Just struggling with email verification (and github AND even Google verification) right now.

refugeddit,

lol alright, let's see where this goes

kbrot,

let's see where this goes

narrator: it didn't

haha

refugeddit, in Daily General Discussion - June 11, 2023

apparently some people are using squabbles.io, biggest criticism from me is the lack of downvotes though

This website combines the best parts of Twitter, with the best parts of Reddit. [...] This website takes the best of both worlds where you can both follow the people you love, and have great, in-depth conversations with them and others.

Soo... it's like Twitter (=posts) in the left column, and reddit (=discussions) in the right column?

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Yeah it has both views. To be fair, so does Kbin -- the Microblog tab at the top.

Kbin "posts" = Twitter tweets
Kbin "articles/links/photos" = Reddit posts
