Many factors are working together to cause cycles around halvening points which result in price spikes. Price action will inevitably cause a FOMO cycle again... when the economy goes south in the next 0-2 years, the liquid/scarce safe

It will pass $25,000 before the halvening in May 2020. Increased equipment cost, same electricity cost but half the rewards = a large value shift.

Libra is better than the dollar but still not as censorship-resistant as Bitcoin. Regulation in Libra will eventually push people to Bitcoin, or atleast that is the expectation.

Slaves were (if im not mistaken) the first asset that was securitized in the new world. People across Europe who never touched a slave got rich from the trade. "First, American planters organized new banks, usually in new states like M

Now the innocent muslim community (who I expect are over-represented in these databases) gets to enjoy identity theft. It's just a pile on at this point.

Secret prisons for citizens in 2019 Chicago? Shocking to hear about, America is truly lost. What do we do when we hear about citizen torture administered by the state? I expect the news coming out will only get worse from here.

Good thing Huawei is cut off, we might get some much needed options that are not tied to Google Play Services.

You may not know the economic history of Britain, if you disagree. Peak of British economy was after it invaded/sabotaged/drugged/then robbed two of the richest civilizations at that point (accounting for 50% of world GDP) Ch

To be fair, robbing indigenous people at gun point is a very profitable endeavor and why Britain flourished. Fact: There is no chance of Britian reaching its former greatness without this crucial criminal component.

I'm sure Indian tech companies/government are watching this play out as well. Google may lose a lot more business than it seems at first glance.

50% of US inmates (prison slave labor participants) are African American, sounds pretty concentrated here as well. I don't believe the whole continent of Africa has 1.5 million Africans in jail, this is a uniquely American outcome.
