How are you going to prove that there is a risk of bankruptcy today if the company doesn't go bankrupt today? How are you going to prove that the phone calls and meeting with the Saudis didn't include funding commitments from the

He probably has a disclaimer somewhere saying his tweets are "not forward looking statements" so he is only saying that as of right now in this moment there is no risk of bankruptcy

There is no law that prevents 51% of the node operators from forking the Bitcoin code. Even if there was, scarcity isn't the same thing as value. My kids art work is incredibly scarce compared to Bitcoin. I can copyright it so that no

Nothing will kill Bitcoin, just like nothing killed beanie babies. They both will exist for a long time. But the world is finite, there is a limited number of people who have a limited amount of money with to speculate. Maybe the Bitcoin pu

I don't think value exists in the way you believe it does.

I hold beanie babies because I expect them to be widely desirable again someday. This is the nature of collectibles.

Yes, their point is that if you buy a cashflow negative asset you are now stuck having to figure out how to sell that asset to the next person. If you buy a cashflow positive asset the opposite situation happens. You don't have to conv

The key to running a Ponzi scheme is to make it last a really long time. Ironically, Satoshi saw this behavior with the US federal government printing money and effectively scamming people on fixed income and anuities. He was right to be up

In context of the above discussion there is a general idea that fewer people are trying to get better at their job or career, leading to lower quality work as fewer people are trying as hard as before. I'm not saying those people are w

You are actually both right. There are a significant number of workers who are not even trying to better themselves. Some are just lazy, but part of the reason some people are that way is because they see that the game is rigged. A huge per

Humans are complex. I have met people who seem to have terrible marriages and seem to spend as much time away from home as possible due to that situation. I have also met people that enjoy working on group projects and enjoy building relati

The big risk that Waymo/Mercedes is taking with this approach is that they do not know what blocking issues they will run into when adding new functionality to these systems. What if driving in rain or snow is incompatible with their a

The LAPD had killed plenty of people who didn't comply with their orders at that point. It is completely unrealistic to think that the LAPD wouldn't have used violence against OJ, if he had tried to flee to Mexico.

OJ Simpson, the man that the police forced to stop fleeing under threat of deadly violence? Are you trying to scare people that their car may be disabled, when those same people already live in a society where police shoot and kill and pit

I had a very similar problem 2 years ago. I was 38 at the time. For me it was burnout. I had been at a failing startup for 6 years. I took about a year off and removed a lot of stress from my life and took a part time React/NodeJS job,

Ironically, BTC has been very successful at scaring some government officials into thinking that people may abandon their fiat money if fiat printing doesn't get under control. Because of this threat fiat printing will be never get to

Correct, crypto is great when you need an append only database with no root password. Outside of that use case crypto is a speculative investment vehicle. Maybe BTC will replace gold as a store of value. But that is just speculation.

You would prefer that we have more executives that don't get things done and instead focus on not getting fired? The Climate change situation would be better off if we didn't have Tesla disrupting the status quo on EVs? Rural and

My point is that if you made Elon CEO of Cisco, he could make e-mail addresses longer than 8 chars within a week. I know it isn't a simple as editing a config file that has "MAX_CHARS=8". It is going to break some peoples&#x

So one of the current major owners is Saudi Arabia. How about we use that for goal posts? SA has beheaded people for speaking out against the government. Please explain how Elon has a worse documented history than these current owners.
