My point is yes, it is true of any asset. You might as well own cans of beans. But the purpose is to stave off the effects of monetary expansion while staying liquid. Cryptocurrency is in a special niche in that parameter space. While other

If there's less crypto being issued than fiat, and demand were constant as a % of people's wealth (which I admit is a big if), then crypto is bound to go up. There is no end date to government currency debasement.

But Bitcoin has "exploded" in the past, crashing 70%+ several times, yet each time it had a higher and higher floor. How do you explain this?

Pollution is a tragedy of the commons. Individually, polluters gain more than they suffer. But collectively, they suffer as well (though I admit it remains to be seen how much, since the IPCC reports on economic impacts leave a lot to be de

Indeed. The game is rigged. The US became an oligarchy. Lobbyists get their way at the expense of everyone. I don't see much recourse, other than substantial and continued boycotts for all companies pushing this garbage. I am not buyin

I just realized I've been using this magnificent piece of software for 7 years. Stealing some tray icons (volume, clipboard, KTeaTime, network), I built the setup I'll probably use for another 7! Thanks to everyone involved! Tilin
