Because for millenniums society had a gold standard on some level. Currently, the U.S. does not and most other nations do not either. Why would we revert to something that is held in extreme scarcity? Will we revert to slavery if we were to

No, I beg to differ. Gold is not some fiat currency backed by the U.S. Gov’t (1). The US Dollar is. > you’ve ever— and I mean EVER— examined precisely it is you are buying. The same could be said about gold. Have you ever melted down the

You can buy more things with bitcoin right now than you can with gold. Euro, Yuan, and Yen etc. are also way more popular forms of currency than gold is. However if you mean “money” as in “investment vehicle” then yes at this time it is pop

Gold is such an odd form of value. If money, as Felix Martin puts it, is a social technology then gold is an antisocial technology. (1) Gold and silver look great in a recession because they (unlike the buyer) do not panic. However, in the

I remember all of the statistical problems centered around virality that we would have to do in college. The problems always seemed so make-believe and dystopian. Now my company is close to going out of business and I have just been laid of

All of the sins from the results of ‘07-‘08 have brought us here. The underlying economy is sick. The nCovid-19 is just helping to expose it. Until we as a society accept r > g and we begin to take appropriate measures things like this w

We have a fiat currency. The Government creates “money” whenever it pleases. The money is “Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States”. I completely agree that in the long term this is completely faulty and just helps to exace

I wish the Fed would give the $ back to the American people and let them decide what to do with it. The growth would be slower but it would be more genuine. This would help those most affected and would help to weed out bad actors. But I am

For better or worse there has never been a time in recorded history with a “free market”. Money is simply a “social technology”(1). The goal of money ultimately is to promote stability and freedom (1). In this case, the Fed is using Quanti

I often wonder what would have happened to the American auto industry if the US Gov’t had not bailed them out. Would we have multiple Tesla-like electric powered automobile companies today? Probably not. But just a thought.

I remember the first time I saw a drawing of Hagia Sophia in my history book. I was so amazed! It baffles me that the designers and builders of these “ancient” marvels often did not know why, from a scientific standpoint, that these buildin

This is pretty shocking to me. I literally just got my shareholder information in the mail. When I bought Disney stock it was a 20th century management style company. Now it's one of my best Blue Chips. Bob Iger's leadership has h

You’re right. But this is pure satire. The joke is that the white plains-folk are way dumber than Sheriff Bart. It’s a mockery of how stupid racism is.

>Are you listening, Tim? Probably not. This is a question for Jeff Williams, COO at Apple. I am often surprised with the amount of 3rd parties that Apple interacts with and the lack of integration between each group. Apple is the company

Tesla has some blame in this for sure but Caltrans (maintainers of the 101) are equally if not more to blame. California is rich in capital but so poor infrastructure. Moving here from South Carolina(where taxes are much lower and roads are

Depends on the product but I often think of catchphrases or characters that would be fun to use. For example, about a month ago I thought that Sam Elliott would be a great spokesperson for a new American Light beer. He would play a rancher

My ideas vary as most do. But I often think about new marketing ploys. Often I make very cool (to me) ads in my head. It’s cool to have an infinite budget in one’s head.
