Mate, I’m very happy for you if you’ve made money out of this. As much as some think people that are wary of crypto are just jealous, it’s not true. I really just don’t want people getting burnt.Fair enough for looking into it.
Where does the ETH go is a flawed argument, people paid ethereum for HEX, in a simple swap. When any new project launches, people buy those new coins with eth or bitcoin, no one asks where does the eth go? Does the founder of a multibillion dollar crypto not deserve to get rich? Who cares what happened to the ETH?
Centralized ownership of supply is how every successful business/company has ever operated, it's not a bad thing that a billionaire founder owns a ton of the supply on the premise that he never sells. As he holds the price up himself. Distributed ownership or control is a disaster and always has been.
The reasoning of, well he could sell it all at any minute, could be said about the housing market, or companies where founders have large holdings. It is simply not possible for everyone to sell their house at once, as there would be not enough buyers, just like elon couldnt sell all his tsla stock at once.
There are no hidden T&Cs in HEX, it is a smart contract with no admin keys, the code can never be changed. He is very open that he does not want to create a security and be sued by the SEC so has taken steps to avoid this, these are the actions of a smart man not a dumb scammer.
What you missed from his background that he used to mine full bitcoin blocks himself when it was 50c, he is was already an extremely wealthy man before HEX so really has no incentive to sell and completely ruin himself.
He also volunteered to the SENS foundation for many years, has written self help books that he gives away for free and has many videos on youtube that implore you to stop drinking, trading, gambling and how to have better relationships.
inb4 i am richard heart, but look at the chart, it has changed my life dramatically.
No fair enough mate and I actually appreciate that out of everyone here you took some time to research it.Mate, I’m very happy for you if you’ve made money out of this. As much as some think people that are wary of crypto are just jealous, it’s not true. I really just don’t want people getting burnt.
But I personally think there is some dodgy stuff going on here. And there is a difference between him selling out versus the owner of a major company. Because he is almost certainly sitting on a huge amount of ethereum which won’t be affected if he decides to bounce. And because the way he has set it up he will make money on the way down regardless. As all the penalties go into the origin address. The origin address is really worrying for me but if you are comfortable with it then go ahead. I hope you are right and I am wrong
fundemently bitcoin is the scarcest asset in the world,digital gold.
When the supply of an asset is so scarce that it cannot meet demand, the price goes up.
I agree and I am not a fan of BTC it is expensive and slow and will never be used for its original use case of p2p digital cash.
See (and I am not directing this at you @SerenityNigh ) but a lot of people in this thread cant fathom that you can be anti bitcoin but pro crypto
People have said this literally for bitcoins entire existence and they have all been wrong
who do think is buying it all now at $30,000
its not sex tourists from thailand,

Fun story. I was actually doing an internship at Lehman in December 2007 (not in subprime, I was in M&A). They offered me a job and I would have started in September 2008. Luckily for me I hated the internship so much I rejected it and got out of finance. But a lot of the interns round then racked up loads of expenses which were supposed to be paid back but when it went bust they were screwed. One girl I knew eventually got her money back about 4 years later.At the time of its collapse, Lehman was the fourth-largest investment bank in the United States with 25,000 employees worldwide.

Right the blockchain is public but the owners of wallets aren't publicly listed unless they choose to do so from my understanding, making it in-effect anonymous. Hence the adoption by criminals and nonces.because every day especially in the us,there are stories like this

See my point above regarding the wallets being anonymous.bitcoin is pseudoanonymous, funny how people always forget that nearly all cryptos are on public ledgers and every transaction can be seen by everyone, kind the whole reason they work.
You have said it but still haven't shown us any actually doing it.as i said,
