SHIT just sold 100k

Hackernews has been notoriously wrong. The best advice i can give you in life is, "Exercise more, eat healthy, do the reverse of what Hacker News would do"


Things that hacker news said that would fail. Dropbox - right to the dropbox's founders face. They said him it's really easy to mount FTP to directories and in 5 minutes reproduce all of dropbox's business model. The dropbox founder linked to that comment on the day of the IPO.


Instagram. They claimed facebook was fucking stupid for paying 1b for it and it would die out soon.
Tesla. Hackernews people can't wrap their minds at how Tesla is losing billions every quarter REEEEEEEEEE.
Nintendo. Hackernews believes that Nintendo's hardware fucking sucks and you cannot develop without a devkit.

The list goes on and on. Literally do the opposite of what hacker news does, every single time.

How much is BTC gonna drop I need to know so I can reinvest

>do the opposite of what biz says
>do the opposite of what redditnews says

so where do you get real advice, m8?
do you just do the opposite of everything?

>>9360217
yes

> first comment: It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

>>9360217

Don't do the opposite of biz.

Unironically this those guys are fucking notorious retards.

The guys on hacker news are all programmers that have stolen the title of engineer and all make six figures now in an industry that will be significantly disrupted by crypto. They are saying exactly what they have been programmed to say.

ML is the real threat. Plenty of rich people's shitwork to do for the 'engineers' on hacker news , hating their days spent shovelling shit.

They aren't wrong.

The G20 are a bunch of crooks, but they are making their decision in July, I believe.

They initially said there isn't an issue with "cryptocurrencies", but they never said anything about ICO's. Virtually every ICO has produced over 1000 shitcoins, which is coordinated by a couple singles entities who own the exchanges. Compare something like Gemini/Coinbase to Binance/Bitmex, as far as coin listings. It's pretty clear which way this all going to go.

Use your head and invest in the 2-3 coins that will go up, as all other coins crash.

Cases are being built. People who created ICO's and random token airdrops are morons putting a face to their shitcoin. They will get in trouble.

Everything will happen at once, not over an extended period.

BTC is going to zero and its counterpart will rise.

All part of the plan since 2015-ish to destroy the shitcoins bow to Satoshi.

>>9360119
Hacker news has been saying this 2014 at least (when I started browsing there). They're the saltiest bunch of non-coiners outside of r/buttcoin

>>9360329
Nah. A healthy ecosystem with taxable trackable organizations is what they want.
Even if what you are saying could be done (with DEXs, it can't), no way they are going to have enough organization to enforce it across the globe.
I wouldn't be suprised if they try to launch their own global crypto currency and mandate it as a trading pair while they control the inflation in a centralized way though.

>>9360364
It's because Hacker news culture is all about working hard and getting rich on a side project. They are salty that the BTC gabillionares got so rich putting in such little effort.

Hacker news these days manages to be more of a hugbox than fucking reddit somehow, and is filled mostly by soiboy webdevs that couldn't program themselves out of a paper bag, everyone decent left long long ago

Many of the fantastic devs there are busy running successful startups/companies. What remain are hateful wagecucks taking out their frustration on anyone who can still imagine.

>>9360279
Imagine a ML based compiler - that inputs high level language such as python and shits code better optimized than 100 master computer scientists doing CPU instructions only... And it improving minute after minute...

After that think about an IDE where ML helps people write secure and functional code with suggestions targeted at their skill level.

>>9360119
So...

>Hacker News

You realize that with a name like that they have to be either idiots or working for the Company, right?

>>9360538
I refer to this as closing the semantic gap and it's happening more and more each year.
You don't need to be a programmer to launch a website any more. At the same time, the general public is getting better at becoming cyborgs.
Soon, hopefully, specialists won't be needed as all things will be understood from a fundamental level through AI in an unsupervised way. What we need at that point is intent, but perhaps ML can design intent through reinforcement learning (or something new..) as well.

>>9360217
not basing your life decisions on advice from others is a good starting point
ideally, you collect information and act in consequence

>>9360187
Hacker news = incel soi faggots.

>>9360119
Hackernews is for faggots, I got shadow banned for writing that Cloudflare/GoDaddy/Google/ICANN preventing TheDailyStormer (legal speech) from being on the internet was a sign we're living in a corporate dystopia. They probably think the white race is a bubble.

>>9360785
this. they have the typical engineer mentality and vision which doesn't allow them to see beyond their own nose. but you're listening to them so you probably can't understand what I mean anyway.

kek never thought of it that way. nice

>>9360119

They're right. This time the bottom's gonna be at 5000. Keep expecting these sways back and forth while the whales get rich and BTC settles back down to roughly 2000, which is where it belongs.

>>9360454

Well, this worries me. Hacker news has been an excelent source of information for me (if you disregard politics in general) wrt my SW dev career and I'm really curious on what other sources of info you check that might be better than HN.
