- Tuna-Fish 14y agoI would be very interested in the fallacy you see, yet I see none.
- lwat 14y agoServers lose 90% of their value in 5 years. Cash will not.
- dstorrs 14y agoYes, but the data on the server may still be valuable (e.g. to an identity thief).
- stickfigure 14y agoReaders from Argentina and Zimbabwe might disagree.
- jfoutz 14y ago2 things. 1. Police are taking at least 20% hit right off the top. so, sure $1000 turns into $750 at 5%, the police are going to be looking at $600 profit, at the very best. a $1000 computer would be more like $100 dollars after five years, in which the police keep $80 bucks. 2. You can pirate all the copyrighted material you want in Argentina and Zimbabwe. Furthermore, neither of those countries really care about property rights. if the government wants your stuff, they just take it anyway.
- draggnar 14y agoI believe he is hinting at inflation damaging the value of cash in the next 5 to 10.
