Ok, so, correct me if I get anything wrong here: Jog On, an esteemed CUK Forum (for highly paid IT 'cream of the crop') member from Aug 2005, known for his market trading (self-proclaimed Dirty spekulant) and very early adopter of so-called cryptocurrencies - basically a cryptomillionaire given early entrance into this "market".
And now it turns out you did not have spare, ready to use 5 grand for YOUR OWN HEALTH.
Really?
Are you fooking kidding me?
You can't even get a fooking low interest loan in a bank.
And as a "highly paid IT 'cream of the crop'" personality you should not even need a loan for that.
This is so symptomatic for Internet scams - people like Jog On (and Pooter) supposedly doing incredibly well, but then it turns out he lacks 5 grand to pay for own health op.
You still have no clue what a smart contract is do you???
Just about everything you say in this thread and on this subject is wrong. Which, given your complete and utter obsession with it is quite something.
Go back and read what I said without filtering out the parts about:
Being benched for almost a year (end of warchest)
Having the option to cash out come crypto to pay for the op (and almost doing it)
Instead of cashing out crypto (the bull run was just getting going) I staked some of it as collateral and borrowed against it on a defi protocol
Why would I get a bank loan instead? Also please can you quote where I said I didn't have that option?
I'm glad I didn't cash out crypto to pay for the op, even in the current correction/dip/bear market it's still up considerably from when I needed that money for the op...
If crypto cannot stand regulation, it doesn't deserve to be here. Lack of regulation is just icing on the cake, removing it will cause wobbles of course.
