I don't contradict that wealth inequality exists, or even that it increases. But if middle class relies only on income from salaries and spend it like there's no tomorrow (because catching up with the Joneses, or simply they don&#

I have a feeling that the problem for a lot of middle-class people isn't wealth inequality but lifestyle. It became normal that one has $500/month car payment for life (which cost you around $3,000,000 over 40 years), or a 2500 sq

Writing inline code (tasks) into build scripts is not recommended and, in the words of Cedric Champeau (former Grrovy committer and Gradle Inc. employee): "I repeat, nobody should every inline build logic in a build script. Nobody.&q

It was even before The Facebook became a public website. Zuckerberg smashed some curl + PHP + UI to fetch and display pics of campus girls and "users" could rate their hotness.

Irony is that The Facebook started exactly like that.

What? You enumerated some of the hardest professions in the world and dismissed them as "not hard"! How many car mechanics you've seen turning into architect? How many developers you've seen becoming lwayers? How many la

You're right, it includes exchange addresses. Although my stance is, other people's address == other people's BTC. They might temporarily be a custodian for you but sooner or later something bad will happen.

It's even worse. According to [1], around 2.18% of addresses control around 94.75% of BTC. [1] https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses....

Not necessarily. Counter example - if highest interest loan has outstanding balance of $100,000, car loan $5,000, credit card $1,000 and you owe to your friend $500.

Others gave some very good reasons in replies. I'd just add one more - when you pay off smallest loan, you should take the money for its monthly payment and direct it towards the next smallest loan. That way you'll pay off that on

I applaud you sir! I started doing something similar one year ago - at the beginning of each month I donate a few $ to one of free/open source projects I use (and every month it's another project that receives donation). I know th

True. But in a period 1969-1989 it had a return of, IIRC, 5700%.

Depending on the country, but some hardware stores offer transport or you can rent a van for $30 or so. OTOH, in 41 years I had exactly 0 times needed large MDF boards or wood planks or steel pipes...

Oh sorry, I wasn't precise enough. I meant specifically forex traders (because the article was only about forex traders). Since currencies are not cash-flow producing assets, I don't see how, on average, everybody can end in the

Care to elaborate? Are you saying that long term every trader makes money?

Actually, one time payment of $50 for a lifetime access. Still high for their salaries though, it'd be something like $2,000 in US.

Former Yugoslavia. Heck, we even had banks that offered monthly 10-15% interest on savings accounts in Deutsche Marks. Needless to say, the whole scheme collapsed after a year or so.

There are 8000+ cryptocurrencies, some (or a lot?) of them are bitcoin clones. Most of them issue millions and billions of those digital items. It's not scarce at all.

This is highly dependent on society/nation standards. I grew up in a 750 sqft apartment (family of 5). My wife grew up in a 440 sqft (family of 4). Now I consider 250 sqft/person to be a palace, but in the US it's probably co

Ginormous distances between values and keys. It's enough to have just 2-3 long values in 2-3 different rows and the amount of whitespace becomes huge, much larger than the amount of data.
