A ride-along is easy to arrange, that’s true. I’ve had the chance to take advantage of the opportunity a few different times. Twice with officers from the LAPD (Rampart and Olympic divisions), and once after I moved back to the East Coast w

“Fiat” usually implies something different from the way you are using it. No government has issued Bitcoin via fiat, there are no treasuries or armies backing it. Gold is a tangible commodity. I’ve been in the cryptoasset space for a while

That’s a risk on any day of any calendar year. We can find points and counterpoints to prove any scenario.

A “six figure” salary indicates 100,000 to 999,999 of whatever currency. It does not automatically represent the very top-end of the range. 999,999+ would be “seven figure”, the university in this case can only off low- to mid- five figure
