The market price of BTC has grown fairly consistently on the logarithmic scale for a couple of years now. There have been ups and downs, but the majority of the price growth obviously comes from an increase in demand that isn't being m

I don't know about the cost of healthcare or college in the US, but those are affected by other non-inflationary factors. Eg: political changes, supply and demand, changes to the definition of the service. i.e. Imagine the difference i

"Given that the entire point of the Federal Reserve is to promote inflation" No, that's not what they do. Too much inflation is bad, but you need a little bit. So they seek to maintain a "healthy" amount of inflat

My (layman's) understanding of it is that central banks seek to keep inflation within a target range; in Australia this is between 2 and 3 percent [1]. The primary tool to manage inflation is interest rates, however interest rate movem

My source is (was) the lavabit ToS. I was a paying customer of Lavabit and familiar with their ToS. He made it pretty clear that if you wanted to use his service to hide illegal activity you were SOL. The TOS seems to be long gone. But wiki
