   So instead of using the actual data that's available we should make up whatever bias we want that fits our existing world view? Even with no evidence to support it other than conjecture?

   There are some YouTuber travel channels that have fascinating on the ground footage of the favelas in Brazil. It's not as extreme as you think. I very much recommend these two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og9kpw5vxh

   Old people are notorious for exploiting informational asymmetry against the young and innocent or the naive. All of human history shows what a problem this is. Making things more transparent and fair is good for everyone except malicious ol

   Reuters is a much better source of information. Look up the ownership of The Independent.

   That's because those countries have the largest populations of new money rubes to sucker into buying shiny objects.

   Except these people can create their own bugs and rob their own clients and call it a hack and nobody can do anything about it because they're off shore and unregulated. You'd have to be pretty dense to put any money on the unregu

    Yeah but they're operating in a gray market that is going to almost certainly close or shrink with regulation and they're greedy so why not take as much as possible? It's not like the customers have any recourse when their sk

    Many people are also assuming that unlicensed unregulated offshore exchanges keep 100% of client funds in reserve. LOL.

    The platforms that deal in USDT have a very strongly vested interest in seeing its continuation. To the long term detriment of nearly everyone else.

    What about the billions in exchange balances held in USDT? That's a lot of liability for the exchanges holding those, right?
21. 81.▲
    by humaniania 5y ago

    There are a bunch of sketchy unlicensed exchanges that are heavily invested in utilizing USDT. The Tether meltdown should be quite the show. All of those outstanding balances have to be reconciled somehow. Or they'll just close up shop

    Keep in mind people will try to take advantage of arbitrage situations so this process can take a while. Go back and research MTGOX.

    by humaniania 5y ago

    Same reason why prices went way up before MTGOX collapsed. People have "assets" in Bitfinex that they can't cash out for something with real value except by buying crypto and hoping it gets transferred out before reserves are

    And crypto manipulators are trying to spin the recent price increase as positive news with absolutely no regard to how a similar price ramp up happened on MTGOX before it went down completely from insolvency. Has Bitfinex pricing decoupled

    Energy subsidies for vulnerable people are an option that negates your only argument against the most sane option of switching to renewable and nuclear ASAP, at least in extremely wealthy countries like the USA.

    Also maybe read the entire article on using fracking wastewater on crops: Until now, government authorities have only required limited testing of recycled irrigation water, checking for naturally occurring toxins such as salts and arsenic,

    "impermeable" until there's an earthquake caused by fracking and things shift deep underground where nobody can monitor or track what is happening? Seems exceptionally short sighted to me. https://www.usgs.gov&#x2F

    Natural gas is only inexpensive because of fracking. With fracking in the USA at least the people involved can set up an LLC that dissolves after the well runs out. They are not required to disclose the contents of the fracking wastewater f
