Because he's Elon Musk and he doesn't care about investor returns, he wants to build rockets, cars, tunnels, and explore space. No matter what he does he'll more than likely be fine on the money side.

This peace agreement was largely due to Trump shaking things up, South Korea is already acknowledging this. Trump is such a polarizing figure I'm not surprised people are reaching to discredit him. He's a wacko president but he&#x

Hey guys let's just all agree to use govt controlled money through govt approved mediums. Just accept inflation and quantitative easing as the way things are, any alternative is just a scam. The Federal Reserve can self regulate, the p

I wonder if this could be related to the size of pacific islanders. I remember reading somewhere that is was somewhat of a paradox how people living on small islands for so long became so large. People from the pacific have been long been a

Humans primarily follow lane markings. When these are missing and/or unclear it becomes very difficult to guess where you are supposed to be. Anyone who has driven through road construction and had to follow temporary lines while ignor

If we are moving towards a future with self driving cars there needs standardization of road markers so that cars can recognize what's going on. This crash is looking to be the autopilots due to the strange lane markings. Have you ever

I'd recommend taking an improv class, you'll build a lot of skills needed for spontaneous interactions. Commitment to building these skills will have a snowball effect on your social life.

You can track movement on the ledger but you don't really know who is who once you get two hops from an exchange. It's pretty simple to hide your tracks, especially if you're not concerned with moving back into fiat. As adopt

You're acting as if it's trivial to track how this money is moving around. They're called cryptocurrencies for a reason.

Cryptocurrencies are a new asset class, it doesn't really make sense to compare them to other assets. Right now it's mostly used for drugs and money laundering, things which most people aren't interested in. Eventually there

The convenience, discretion, safety, and ability to launder money easily have pushed most drug sales online. These are real transactions by real people selling real things.

The dark web is a vibrant marketplace using cryptocurrencies almost exclusively. The global drug industry is enormous. Not surprisingly the drug cartels don't report their earnings but rest assured they're there.

For now, the law is on a collision course with technology. Taxable events need to happen in fiat, there is too much incentive to obfuscate these events on blockchains. Transactions in cryptocurrencies will become increasingly hard to trace.

I think one of the major misconceptions about cryptocurrencies is that people will want to turn their coins back into fiat. There are billions being invested into cryptocurrencies in a grassroots manner. This didn't happen because peop
