The latter answer is simple. Tether and other stable coins printing money from nothing. They have statements that they are backed as equivalent to dollars but it is utter nonsense. Just yesterday tether printed another billion usdt. They we

The lack of real names enables people to give honest opinions. The lack of real names, and shitty games prevents influences and garbage celebrity monetizations. I haven't seen a Cambridge Analytica style event happen on reddit. That ha

I agree with your view in general, but there is a reason why the agricultural business is heavily, heavily subsidized. Largely for national food security reasons. If that wasn't the case, I am not sure the US would be a competitive pos
