It can be both. Bitcoin is useful in the same exact way that gold is. Governments the world over have stockpiles of gold, it’s an asset that goes up over time and also resists inflation.

The fact remains that distrust of science continues to grow. Up to now the establishment’s response has been one of condescension. Your comment echoes that attitude. Ignoring the problem is not going to fix it, and in fact continuing to reg

Man this is an interesting comment. >probably because the eco-system isn't diluted with low-wage workers from India/China. Are there other technologies like MUMPS that have the same characteristics?

I’d say yes it does add value in the same way that gold does. It’s a store of value that resists inflation and cannot be instantly revoked by a central authority. That is definitely useful.

Where I am, the ag exemption barely blunts the taxes. You can claim the exemption on the land on which your house does not sit, but the house itself and the 1 acre around it is not exempt. Anywhere near a major population center, a house +

How will you pay for property taxes? Similar plans, but the problem I have is that property taxes are onerous anywhere near a population center. The food you grow can likely sustain you depending on where you are in the country, you can dig

Typical example of how bureaucracy and over-regulation stifles productivity and innovation. Many such cases. It’s no coincidence that the industries that have seen the most explosive growth and added the most value to the economy have also

I don’t know, none of this looks like evidence to me, just a series of things he’s said that didn’t come true. I would interpret a lot of these as optimistic predictions that didn’t come true, not outright lies. A lie is something you say t

Do you have any evidence that that happened? I have never read about that.

Well I asked him to provide any evidence at all to back up why his brain came to conclusion that it did. In the absence of any evidence, the natural conclusion is that he just made it up.

But like if you say you refuse to believe the owner of the company and everyone who works there aren’t you ignoring basically all primary sources? That seems like a pretty closed minded and bigoted way of thinking.

Ad hominem: “Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument.” I said aligning yourself with a famous war monger is a good hint that you may not be a good guy and that it is a good reason for reflection

I don’t think it’s a fallacy at all. Being on the same team as a famous warmonger when it comes to choosing whether or not to continue funding an endless war is a decent HINT. It should make you take a step back and really examine all the e

Einstein was famously a pacifist, opposed to the concept of war. Many leftists used to be aligned with this as well. We are funding a meat grinder that has no sign of victory for either side anywhere in sight. This has been going on for yea

There is absolutely a reason for compromise. Ukraine should be opposed to depopulating itself. The current situation is very similar to the trench warfare of WW1. Despite there being a clear initiator of WW1, BOTH sides absolutely had a hug

Any compromise at all which brings the meat grinder to an end. We basically have a WW1 situation where both sides are grinding themselves down and the only thing the left can bring themselves to support is continuing the conflict. Just thin
