“Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.” Thanks, I actually had no idea about this one, and nobody ever bothered to point it out to me. I do find it disheartening though

Everything you just listed here seems to have been solved by Bitcoin, including forking politics - which leaves the users in control (albeit with some political influence from lead devs) ultimately this appears to be a fair power distributi

It certainly does seem to be a "scheme" but I wonder how it compares to other fiat or gold currency when looked at through a "scheme" lens.

The other difference is that there is some authentication. I generally don’t play with a mic and I have some “friends” I enjoy having very minimal text chat, but mostly because they are good players. I do t consider these significant becaus

Trust in it to maintain its value if it is a stable coin. Alternatively, trust it not to be hacked or inflated if it isn’t. (As well as trust it to maintain whatever monetary properties they advertise to give it value as money.

Good point. Also stress related among many other contributors.

My point is that I believe those in the Nuremberg trials were following legal orders at the time, but their side lost. And yes, it's an iffy thing to disobey when it may be the morally correct thing to do.

I am presuming that you are not being sarcastic. I am being totally transparent that this is nothing more than an internal hunch based on some very amateur time investment is hardly related fields. Literally nothing worth taking note of exc

Why does somebody else get paid to rent my stocks? Can this be avoided?

My armchair analysis suspects that it is chemicals like cortisol will degrade the brain over time, while dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin will help preserve it. So stress and anxiety bad, exercise good.

I’m confused, because “I was just taking orders” from the state can get you killed.

Or you just stop using banks and build these products on something like Bitcoin. It might pressure banks to open their APIs.

I’d agree with that. It’s an investment in the sense of currency speculation (which is a bit of a big bet now at this size it’s a fairly legitimate currency). It is really just a hedge and a cash position, and maybe part protest, not so muc

Is it stealing or is it just dockless?

I think you are confusing equities with mediums of exchange. The mechanism of value creation is different. One facilitates trade and solves the coincidence of wants. The other generates a yield.

Yet people buy stocks that pay no dividends all the time, and often do very well because these companies create value. Your last statement is interesting because you use the term "money" yet I'm not sure you have questioned t

Does cash produce cashflows? No, it doesn't - yet you would have been better off holding cash than Nvidia this year. (Note - Nvidia has cashflows and pays dividends!)

Also the meta information is nice.

In this case it is a little stranger though. It seems that the problem is that the economic system is rigged against them, and their payment systems are spying on them. When the “solution” to this becomes evident it has been flowing to the

I really hope Apple leave, otherwise they have no significant distinguishing feature.

You have completely not understood anything I have written, and your example makes zero sense. Pointing out the flaws it what I can make of it - you are talking about currency conversion (this is two different monetary systems and cash posi

I don't quite understand the staunch love for the current payment and monetary system versus private peer to peer payments.

I think the "cash" part is the confusing sticking part here. What currency is that in? Cash is also a position? Discounted for inflation, deflation etc. The framing of the valuation model is confined to the context of the monetary

Why should medallion owners be protected for their investment decisions? I thought that was the gripe about the banks to (albeit - the banks are far less deserving of sympathy).

I'm not sure it is so simple. As a point of counter anec-data I was always kind of concerned about this, and I even developed a slightly unhealthy habit with my phone when I sank into depression. In any case, we decided an iPad for our
