The core idea that I wanted to discuss is: If money is easy to debase then it will get debased a lot in the long term. That leads to inefficiencies in the market, and in particular to less sustainable behaviour of people and less sustainabl

Bitcoin fees can be much cheaper. Even if you pay only $0.25 your transaction will probably be mined within a day.

Fauci's opinions are one of the most right-wing/authoritative in the field. Also he's inconsistent because within a few months Fauci went from “there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask” to double masking “makes com

Fauci is a highly controversial source. And I doubt you can make such absolute statements given that the data quality is so poor. Even the WHO stated that PCR tests cannot detect an infection. It is only an indicator for doctors to make a d
