This is what I'm saying. The banks are more than happy to pay fines and add regulations to their practices because they don't want the government to shut them down. Coinbase will be no different. They make too much money to have a

I wonder how many bitcoin people understand the history of banking regulations. Banks do not want to be accessory to crimes. They make plenty of money legally. So when the government says we know that you helped someone steal billions of do

Like a lot of bubbles, there is FOMO and lack of understanding of the technology. It is easy to compare crypto to the internet. When the internet first started out a lot of people didn't invest in GOOG because it was not obvious where

Stock prices do not reflect current profits. Imagine if they did. If tsla was currently 50/share to be inline with your metric. How would you stop people from buying it at 60? Because using your math they will be worth 75+ next year wh

The world is becoming more fragmented and long tails are getting longer. I'm not going to build a competitor to Facebook or AWS, but there are thousands of small untapped market segments.

I have a similar background, and also miss the 90s where the people playing with tech were not thinking about the money but actually enjoyed the coding. What I find hopeful about Paul's essay and the current state of the world is that

I agree that not committing fraud would have gotten her into less legal trouble, but I don't know how much funding she would have got with that approach. Her whole scam was that she was the blond steve jobs of biotech. She needed to pr

Holmes delivered nothing. She claimed that accurate blood tests could be done with much smaller amounts of blood and never even built a prototype that could deliver that. Musk claimed that reusable rockets and electric cars were the future

For anyone reading the above comment and thinking "Well maybe for your product, but my product is so great once people see it they will buy it" You are setting yourself up for a hell of a sales problem.

Stocks can have cashflow. It is possible that GME will come up with a new business plan that makes money. Maybe unlikely, but it is something you can make a bet on. BTC is more like a lottery. You don't know what day will be the peak

Any of the big 10 tech companies wouldn't mind owning this if it becomes the standard way of developing back end JS. It gives them influence and the ability to lock out competitors.

My brother was a warehouse worker. It paid more than other jobs he has had but it also required him to work most of the time he was on the clock relative to other jobs. He quit because of the work load, not because he was expected to pee in

I agree. That is why I don't like the argument that we should just tax the wealthy to solve our social problems. It isn't that simple.

Solving child hunger has nothing to do with an individual being worth 200B or not. If the government siezed all of Warren Buffet's money tomorrow would hungry children magically have food show up in front of them? The government just

This was the plan all along. Because IBM is a services company they actually make more money when they have lower quality employees. It is better to bill people out at 300/hour who are going to screw things up and make the project twic
