I’ve been surprised at how uncomfortable people are with capitalism in various parts of Europe
Talk about my fintech venture or trading and young people are visible apprehensive
Very distinct from the general awe and congratulations and “wow but you're so young!” that comes with completely misunderstanding what personal and liquid monetary wealth is
Outside of Monaco and Zug I just started telling people I was a student studying communications

- drdeadringer 7y ago> fintech I had to look up what this brand new slang term meant. fintech = "financial technology". Linguistic evolution -- be it wanted, needed, or not.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoAgree. And that raise of socialism is also annoying. But some of US citizens are communists, not just socialists, so it's not just Europe :)
- rolltiide 7y ago> But some of US citizens are communists I really appreciate the business climate of the US, the tax and accounting rules are so complex that even communists likely wouldn't achieve much if they gained representation. they'll focus on "income tax" and "wealth tax" because its all they know, and their state planning would never gain consensus. Mark to Market elections on securities transactions at arbitrary prices causing Net Operating Losses forever no matter what the income tax rate is? 60/40 rule on futures trades? Its unlikely they would ever notice.
