Not your keys, not your coins. Those not willing to learn self-custody are definitely better off in USD.

For US citizens perhaps, but if you're a Russian citizen or company, the USD in your bank account is now just a worthless database entry. Just because that weapon hasn't been pointed at some group of US citizens yet doesn't m

The company purchases the shares from the market so you don't have to sell. What if a company buys back 50% of the shares and simultaneously performs a 1:2 stock split so that there are exactly the same number of shares available?

It would be quite amazing if this was all a ploy to actually gain a larger market for Tesla. During the pandemic, the techies had all the disposable income and were the key Tesla market. Now the pendulum has swung the other way and the en

If the device is not symmetrical (one axis longer than the other), then perhaps different frequencies can be used to independently 'target' the two different axis.

Is pressing the button now taught/expected as the correct way to recover from unusual attitudes, and does it also handle leveling the wings? It used to be 'level the wings, pull the nose.' The issue is even expert ATPs often

So by your line of reasoning, a stock split should leash a company and hold them accountable since the cost to acquire or require shares is now much less than before. We don't need the SEC, we just need to force companies to perform st

Yes, and if anyone doubts it I'd recommend "Confessions of a Wall Street Analyst". A retired analyst/trader really lays out how much insider trading there was back in the 90s even when things were supposedly regulated.

Having a single point of failure is a terrible idea for the health of the company. It is often unavoidable early on in a product, but if the product is successful, there is a strong need to eliminate the single point of failure. This can b

Do you also consider fractional reserve banks a ponzi scheme? We have successfully regulated those.

Was Napster knowingly criminal? By most accounts yes. How about Uber? In most cities they were by allowing airport pickups? How about Amazon? Remember when they aided and abetted customers with sales tax evasion for years?

Usability is still not great. Slippage risk is hard to communicate and txn costs were high since they require on-chain txns.

Yeah this is a key point, and not only did they not tell customers, their TOS was quite explicit about not loaning customer funds: "You control the Digital Assets held in your Account," says Section 8.2 of the terms. "Title t

In practice, aren't almost all of them either a bank themselves or partner one or more banks and auto-sweep customer deposits into these 'program banks'? Sure it might be slightly more convoluted, but at the end of the day is

"Currently, all U.S. banks are subject to a balance sheet leverage ratio, which requires them to maintain a ratio of tier 1 capital to balance sheet assets at a minimum level of 4%. In order to be well-capitalized, banks must achieve a

It's also quite possible they caused it. Fractional reserve banking by definition means keeping only a percentage of customer deposits readily available. Regulation also doesn't fully solve this, we still have fully regulated ban

Selling a put can be thought of as similar to a traditional limit buy order. For example say you think Meta is a buy at $90. But Meta is trading at 109.57, so sell a put with a strike of $90 and collect a premium in return for agreeing to

If the business can't get employees to show up based upon the advertised prices then it should shut down. Come inside and get a boba for $7! Then you go inside and they're like please give us $9 plus tax and if you actually want

I think people are underestimating how much the cost of energy impacts inflation. It used to be primarily labor costs, and labor/wages is still a major part. However with automation some labor is being replaced by automation and thus
