The left and the libertarians have always been divided, they've never been a coalition, why would they start now? I mean I agree Russia fucked with the election, but I wouldn't group Snowden with Assange, Greenwalk, and Manning.

I think you're confusing daily volume with volume available at any one time. Read what I said, dump 10 mil at once. Just because you can trade 10 million in a day doesn't mean the market can handle a 10 million dollar order in o

Because there are thousands of stocks in the market, whereas BTC is about half the entire crypto market; huge difference.

That's a very very small amount, real currency markets do trillions a day, bitcoin is the size of a large company. He's totally right, that's a small liquid market when compared to the real markets. If you tried to dump 10

So how did you feel about Joe Arpio's tent city jail and chain gangs for the inmates? Virtually every conservative I've ever known supports it.

They're all conservatives. A conservative is someone who self identifies as a conservative, that's really all that matters. Antifa are liberals, radical extreme liberals that seem to have a problem with free speech, but liberals

"Actual conservative", that's the no true Scottsman fallacy; everyone who self identifies as a conservative is a conservative, regardless of how well they stick to those values.

The law isn't wrong, bitcoin is obviously a financial security and always was from its inception. Nothing is being retroactively applied here. The only issue here is cryto fans odd beliefs thinking crypto is somehow immune to existin

Bitcoin is a 63 billion dollar market, you are being dishonest when you call these things frivolous crimes; people have lost their life savings playing in crypto, there's nothing frivolous about it. If you can't see the diffence

I was not replying to you, you're intellectually dishonest, we're done, I've made that clear.

Bitcoin was a security the second it came into existence. The law doesn't need to retroactively be applied, it always applied. New things aren't somehow immune from existing law because they haven't been explicitly named by

Simply put, identity and equality are different things; he's conflating them. This was already pointed out, but he didn't grok it.

Twins are the closest thing to an exact copy that exist in the real world, that's not remotely stretching, it's trying to ground it reality to make the silliness of the fiction obvious. Like all analogies, it's flawed, try an

It's fiction, it doesn't find anything, it asserts. There's no rational reason at all to think a copy would be more willing to die. We have copies in the real word, twins, and being a twin doesn't make the other have l

You're just playing a semantic game with the word "me" and "self". Saying they are both me and they are both not me is saying nothing, it's a meaningless statement devoid if any value to communicate anything a

Both were you, they stopped being both you the second they started diverging which is the second they came into existence.

There's nothing to think about, take the money, consider yourself lucky and don't chase a fantasy 400M that may never happen. The old adage is true, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Then you'll have the money to

Completely private accounts are called savings accounts; governments aren't telling you what to do with your money, they're telling you what you have to do in order to avoid that money being taxed, IRA's offer you a benefit,

I didn't need to, the comment I replied to already addressed a valid why. Smart contracts can't enforce access to funds without locking the funds up from other use, and that's not how things work in the real world. Pensions

You don't seem to grok the point of UBI because you seem to fetishize work. UBI is the solution to a world where work isn't an essential due to automation, there is more to being human than getting money for labor, we want people

It wouldn't work, almost nothing people want to do with smart contract can actually work because those people tend not to actually understand what a smart contract is or what it can actually do and what it can't do. Virtually ever
