They may have done several successful smuggling runs in those 6 months. They just didn't want to explain their wherabouts so they came up with the lost at sea story.

Disagree completely. It's easy to calculate your EV. If the EV is negative, you don't take the bet. Super simple stuff. Furthermore if the EV is zero, you don't take the bet either because lowering your variance is a good thi

That's not how Bitcoin works. The amount of energy used to secure the blockchain is not proportional to the number of transactions.

Even points are a lie now. I open a PDF on my computer, and the PDF viewer might scale it to fit the window, and the OS might scale it based on my preferences, and maybe my monitor is a projector which means the OS has no idea how big the v

Why would they specify 'entry level' investors then? That argument would surely apply to all investors, not just the entry level ones.

Companies listed on the stock exchange are actually out there making things or providing services, employing people, and making money. Anyone and their dog can start an ICO with nothing but a website filled with fluff and bullcrap.

You could I guess but it's really better to just use a credit card. Your CC company rewards you for using it while a Bitcoin transaction is the opposite - it costs you money to spend BTC. If you want anonymity, use cash. If not, use a

Woz had a Department of Defiance ID that he used to get into all kinds of places. Apparently it's not illegal because it doesn't actually say 'Department of Defense' so it's not a counterfeit ID card.
