I totally agree and trying to point it out all the time when I hear "they". But the reality is - when some person sits looooong away in Washington and makes some rules - they are hardly connected to the people they represent. Smal

This is what bothers me... I once donated to a GoFundMe run by someone I know (not really friends) - their house got heavy water damage in Houston a couple of years ago. Only a couple weeks later to see pictures of them buying a new car fro

I agree, that in a form current insurance companies exists - i.e. perpaid medical discounts plan, they should be removed. People should be getting insurance from insurable events - i.e. accident, heart attack, etc. Not from routine vaccinat

It just happened that I had a paper discussing IVF vs IVM last week. There are some researches, inconclusive, that suggest that state-paid IVF/IVM is beneficial for the country, as a newly minted citizen on average will produce signifi

Outside of what others replied to you with, there is another aspect I find about it, that truly resonates and excites me, despite not being a holder. To me, Bitcoin is also a large experiment where laws and rules are written as open source
