What makes it groupthink rather than simply being in agreement about something?

It’s ironic that people are trying to censor you for this.

Paper money is not actually made of paper.

That's probably why they used the word correlated, and suggested how a causal relationship could be established.

How would removing Windows accomplish this? Throwing your own stuff away after paying for it doesn’t make sense, they already have your money.

Say you have 5 bags with 5 apples in each. How many apples do you have? 5 x 5 = 25. If you have 5 empty bags, 5 x 0 = 0.

Why is it good that no more can be printed though? The value of all total goods in existence is not fixed, so why a currency where you don’t know how much you’ll able to buy with it in the future?

I don’t see any use cases for it except tax avoidance or illicit transactions, neither of which I have any need for. Why use it for anything else when I have no way to know that it will be worth anything tomorrow? I realize the same could b

What is Bitcoin backed by? What commodity could any currency be backed by that isn’t subject to the same volatility?

Normalization implies that there’s something abnormal about going outside for some light exercise, fresh air, and a change of scenery. I enjoy those things but it’s not hard to abstain from other normal activities that I don’t.

Wow that’s a mindfuck. I understand it in an optical sense but not intuitively. Do you have a good explanation for this?

That’s not a FAANG company, but ok. You can write off your contempt for diversity, inclusion, etc. as a political view but it says more about you as a person. You’re likely difficult to work with and won’t treat your coworkers with respect.
