Yep, I like the current trend where remote jobs are becoming more common so you can live in the Midwest while employed by a high paying SV/NYC/etc job. I don't really need the cultural elements of SV being spread across the U

I've noticed that when Trump detaches a thing from government control (Paris agreement, net neutrality), the populace and media go full on chicken little sky is falling. Then as the dust settles, people start having conversations like

Eh. Plenty of underfunded, plucky startups are the same sort of garbage. No particular lens can encapsulate our woes on its own. Reality is too complex to summarize in a few sentences.

Where "probably" is a subjective sense being carried forward by a mob who presume to have an infallible sense of truth and have no qualms with applying their certainty toward shutting down anyone who Bad Speaks.

You are also apparently being downvoted for daring to mention that you were yelled at for your mother voting for Trump when she didn't. The communication shut-down knows no bounds anymore.

I had the exact same experience, joined a project which was relying upon Ethereum. Spent several days learning everything about it and messing with the technology. Every moment the interest slowly waned as frustration upon frustration added

My read is that futures trading legitimizes Bitcoin, perceptually at least signaling mainstream financial adoption of Bitcoin. I'm sure that read is only one of the myriad of subjective factors involved (let's all agree that Bitco

Is anyone else getting the same sense with Bitcoin as with Trump leading up to the election? Everywhere I go everyone has negative things to say, everyone is going on about how it's going to crash. They all seem like sensible arguments

That's what they did to me. Incredible how much naivety surrounds and excuses their behavior. There is no recourse when they "accidentally" lose your purchase at $200 once it jumps to $450.

Sigh. It's a bad sign because I never wanted to invest in bitcoin, even if it would mean enormous profit (not a fan of speculative profit). But, I just bought some. So what if other people equally skeptical and disinterested in profit

I just invested figuring that it won't crash until I buy into it, and I sorta want it to crash. Unfortunately, it has gone up another 20% since then so my strategy is failing.

It's always worked for me. Kids are used to being dominated and condescended. If you talk to them as respected individuals, you usually get respect back. It also gives more weight to the times you have to be more assertive. The other h

Nope. They offered to reinstate my transaction at the price it doubled to. Throwing away the lost profit which is very convienent for them.

There's an irritatingly prevalent attitude that once you've moved to a high cost of living area (or were born there), you're forever entitled to stay there. That if you can't afford it, it's the fault of society and

It often feels like I'm the only one on the planet who genuinely doesn't want to make money off bitcoin. It's a pretty satisfying perspective, though -- I don't feel jealous of anyone who has or will make a killing off b
