I think what they're trying to say is that although in economic theory central banks are thought to control the quantity of money, in reality they control the price of money. (They can't control both the quantity and the price.

Sooner or later part of these 100 trillion trillion dollars will be withdrawn from the originating bank and deposited with other banks. The originating bank will have to send reserves to these other banks, and if it can't because it d

OP was talking about financial capital. Financial capital is the difference between assets and liabilities. If the company was liquidated right now, what would remain is the financial capital, so in a manner of speaking it's the net

If you make money when the price goes down then your overall position is short. The point is that it can be profitable to crash the price even though you're holding the asset at the same time.

Funny how when the crypto industry is asked to follow the rules that everybody else already has to follow the law suddenly becomes an unsurmountable burden.

They move money from one party to another by updating a ledger. That's what money transmitters do. Not being in possession of the funds, or the fact that the specific entity that moves the funds is chosen at random, doesn't chan

When did I say that all nodes are miners? I said that miners are money transmitters.

Publishing code is not the issue that regulators should be concerned about. Running the code is the issue. Regulators should treat cryptocurrency "miners" as money transmitters and make them comply with the existing regulations

Not really, you can be long in one market, and short in the derivatives market, and your net position be short. You'd be holding eth, but you'd be short.

It's worse than that, they're aren't solving anything at all. They're taking part in a lottery, in which participants have to guess a number, and the winner gets to update the ledger. Nobody is solving complex mathemat

Lifting light weights for high reps does nothing for strength. In fact, it's detrimental to strength, unless you also do strength training, which consists mainly in low reps at high intensity.

BMI is pretty meaningless without taking into account body composition.

Disfunctional super strength doesn't happen by accident, it's typically the result of many years of hard training and drug use. Most people who lift weights regularly will never develop super strength, they'll simply develop

Not to mention the lottery. A lottery ticket can go from $1 to several millions in a split second.

Bodyweight exercises aren't nearly stressful enough to build strength in the lower body. The muscles of the thighs and hips are just too big, they need to be loaded.

The thing is if you get lean without having put on plenty of muscle first, you'll look like a bag of bones, which is neither healthy nor aesthetically pleasing.

Indeed, such levels of paranoia cannot be healthy. If you're worried that somebody might find out that you looked up a word in a dictionary, imagine what they could find if they started snooping into your trash.
