That's only showing about $3.5B for the last 24 hours, still a lot but not "over $6" and it includes exchanges w/o fees, which are prone to be manipulated.
The drama there is the voice recognition; if you want to spend all day yelling at your device in different accents in the hope that you can get it to understand you, it might be possible.
They're pretty confident they can rcognise "OK Google", "Siri" or "Alexa", etc, but beyond that it needs more juice to do the translating than you can reasonably pack in a consumer device.
Most IOT crap is secured against the user first, and maybe, if they have time, against APTs. But it's really unlikely they have time.
Phones are much more widely used and targeted by white, black and grey hats. So they're designed with security in mind. That's not to say they don't fail, but they're not configured by default with open ports on the internet and admin/admin login credentials.
It's like suggesting the risk of driving down a steep hill in a billy-cart you made is the same as a modern car.
I can show you 3 other sites that appear to give different figures, why is that one trustworthy?
Apparently the Chinese used to love trading bitcoin for bitcoin: https://www.coindesk.com/real-... but regardless, moving 'value' from one person to another is trading bitcoin for bitcoin.
Who the fuck is taking bitcoin as a security? That might just be the dumbest thing I've heard this year.
I'd largely agree in this case, but only because you now have the weight of public opinion behind "there's no safe amount of smoking"; unlike say alcohol* or (some) drugs.
I've long thought if the government really wanted to stop smoking, and forgo all that lovely tax income, they should make the minimum age to purchase smokes go up a year every year; i.e. if you are born after (say) 31st Dec, 2000, you're never going to be able to legally smoke. That neatly avoids the issues of cutting off addicts who/will/ find a way to get their fix, and kills the industry in a couple of generations.
There will still be a few kids that start regardless, but they're really pushing shit uphill to argue they should be accommodated for...
*There are plenty of people who suggest there's also no safe level of alcohol consumption, but I don't think they're in the majority as yet.
There's been plenty of failed attempts at prohibition though, alcohol, drugs, etc. There's no particular reason to think there won't just be bootlegging and the same problems with zero tax revenue and increased policing costs. So, you know, lose/lose.
If it seems that so many people who are in favor of free markets are against the government getting involved in markets its because a business in a free market is able to fail, freeing up the labor it used for other uses. Government jobs tend not to go away once created, even when most people wouldn't want to buy those services in any form. Look no further than the TSA for an example of where the government is forcing something down consumers throats when you'd be hard pressed to find people who would be willing to voluntarily purchase that kind of service.
There's broad community support, particularly from those that don't fly or at least don't fly often, for the TSA. People do want to/feel/ safe.
Trouble is most people get really annoyed about the government interference that stops them pissing in the stream, but really think something should be done about those folks up the hill pissing in the stream.
I spent the first 10 hours of owning an Android device back in 2011 working out how to root it so I could remove Facebook. Even then I had to use a backup program to 'trick' it into uninstalling. On the upside, that returned 20% of my battery per day and extended the useful like of the phone for a year.
I completely agree, but it does at least have perfect knowledge of it's own units etc. So you it can be hyper vigilant for sentry units killing it's scouts and still never miss a millisecond of build time as resources become available/deplete/etc.
I just suspect that if the bot makers were having their strategy written by the best human players they would be unassailable...
Feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but things like BBC's Planet Earth on Blu-Ray and a largish 1080p are phenomenal. The same thing on DVD is like having early stage cataracts.
I'm sure there's a lot of garbage being re-released on Blu-Ray that doesn't benefit from the format, but that's not universal.

How much would you have bought and when would you have pulled out if you did buy?
If you doubled your money and pulled out at $1400, would you still be kicking yourself?
If you'd still be holding it, you have balls of steel.
Depends if you define drugs and illegal arms trade as "business".

Ok so you've demonstrated that you have no idea how an exchange works. Probably best to stop right there.
There was lots of volume on the Chinese exchanges when there was zero fees

If I trade BTC => Other => BTC, it's still just trading BTC for BTC to inflate the volume.
As to others, here's one: https://data.bitcoinity.org/ma...

Bitcoin does over 6 billion a day in trade volume
Says who? And how much of that volume is trading bitcoin for bitcoin?
When the trend is up, most of the orders are buy, you can bet your ass $100MM USD a day in sell orders would be noticed.
I can guarantee you they don't.
selling larger amounts of Bitcoin has always been difficult.
FTFY
Yeah, but really... wouldn't you love to see police arrive at the door of every vaguebook post?
If anyone cares...

Their existing and past attempts at prohibition have worked out really well!
My refusal to support illegal Ponzi schemes continues to pay off.
You can't have a discussion with ACs, it's like shouting into the darkness.
So they're a $5-6 million in electricity to run, $100-200 million to design/assemble, but what really decides the OS to run is the cost.
OK.

Remember when Creative Labs not only pulled the same kind of crap with their drivers (back in 2008)?
Forcing people to upgrade their discrete sound cards by killing the drivers worked really well for them!
useful life even...

That balance is exactly what a computer with basically perfect knowledge and zero reaction time should be better at than the human.

That should be a class action suit by their own customers.
Millisecond advantage isn't so much for informational advantage as exploiting arbitrage.
