Nothing about this has anything to do with the Chinese government specifically. This was introduced by Nortel, then perpetuated by IBM, then eventually discovered by Lenovo.

I once drank lake water in Iceland during winter. The only reason I could be convinced to do so was because it was Iceland during the winter. It was absolutely fantastic. Easily the best tasting water I've had by an order of magnitude.

Distilled water increases the rate at which the body loses essential minerals. You can negate that by ensuring your mineral intake is enough. It's much easier to just water that has minerals in it though.

Bitcoin itself has scarcity by design, but since it is an open idea backed by nothing it really doesn't have any scarcity. The tons of new altcoins and forks definitely reflects this. Android's fragmentation probably shows us what

That is what you get for giving out risky loans to marginally qualified applicants just because you could charge high rates. Same applies to the current student loan crisis too.

She set herself a sweet gig of collecting mining profits instead of taking just one time payments. Probably the only way she can take a recurrent payment as a sexworker.

Totally. The resistance to switch to a universal currency would be astronomical just based on that it would overexpose the money supply to foreign manipulation. The South Korean government has already voiced concerns about this with respect

This signifies that the police in question don't believe their conduct is wrong. This definitely comes down to a problem that needs to be sorted with proper training and establishing proper protocols on how to deal with these situation

It doesn't. It pushes the value up and certainly gets more eyes on it but a rising market cap of cryptos doesn't suddenly defeat fiat currencies when a magic threshold is reached.

That is not a good comparison to the situation. Cars and outer space have nothing to do with each other at all. Whereas the number of transactions is directly impacted by the available size on the block that they consume.

A number of friends of mine in the US only want to deal with Coinbase. It is probably a combination of having already set up there and not wanting to submit ID to other exchanges, and having trust issues with other ones.

Bitcoin definitely won't live for another 10 years. Even without a bubble burst it will definitely get superseded by better alternatives by then.

Getting married is a pretty big lifestyle change for enlisted soldiers. It enables them to go from living in a barracks to having private housing with their spouse. That is a non-trivial factor weighing in on the decision for many of them.
