My mama taught me to not talk about things I don't know anything about. I wish more people listened to their mamas. To the curious Europeans out there, if you lose your job you can stay on your job's health plan for 18 months whil

Not really, no. "Follow-on rounds" are a thing. Usually with rounds more like 2x the valuation than 8x, but still. The last company I was at went out and raised 3x as much at 2x the valuation Series B while the ink was drying on t

The purpose of bitcoin is to be used. Once it has seen enough adoption, you don't turn it into cash. It is cash. Also I do local bitcoin transactions just fine thank you very much.

It is an alternative coin. Hence "altcoin."

No it's not a trick question. Tax fraud investigation relies on bank cooperation. Bitcoin doesn't cooperate with anybody. They can make toothless voluntary requests though. More likely society evolves in the face of bitcoin to int

And they will stop people from making bitcoin transactions how, exactly? It's a bit silly to come in and dismissively say "the state will regulate it anyway" when the whole point of the technology is that it technologically p

This is incorrect. Some unaccredited investments are allowed, and above certain thresholds it just triggers onerous reporting requirements. It is not illegal to make unaccredited investments. It is illegal to market/promote to unaccred

Or did the scientific advances happen because there was an incentive compatible system in place to share in the profits of that advancement of knowledge? The Enlightenment followed the rise of mercantilism, not the other way around.

Ah so if I disagree with you I'm a sociopath? That's not a friendly rhetorical tactic btw. It may not be obvious, but your post is not critiquing capitalism. Free-market capitalism is solution in the space of how we decide to allo
