In Step 1, he explains how to create a cryptographic identity- the private public key pair. I came across an argument that a number cannot be property or owned because you can't legally own a number. If this is true then you can&#x27

> Propaganda isn’t bad by its nature (after-all, almost any content that relays information can be considered a form of propaganda). I have to disagree, propaganda is bad, as its aim isn't to inform, but to manipulate through dishon

Wait, people were not banned from using TikTok? Why just new downloads? What was the purpose of this?

Thomas Sowell is a great great thinker. People do not study his work because it doesn't fit well with MMT and the micromanaging of an economy. Not because he is black. This obsession with race is ridiculous.

When the SAT / ACT are thrown out and companies are no longer hiring based on merit, but other characteristics, is it any wonder that people would think that hard work doesn't matter? These people are one step away from thinking a

Most people in crypto do not understand anything about economics. They understand ponzi/ greater fool theory and how to obfuscate to the public and regulators to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

I think that will be a big topic that government will try to solve. I think they will offer policies that help inequality directly in housing, giving away homes to those that qualify, further pushing up home prices ultimately.

It is mind blowing that we can't guess private keys easily, although probably depends on how the wallet is made. Good idea for an app.

Real estate might be the best play for the average joe. Where else can you borrow a ton of money at low interest rates for 30 years with a real asset (the house) as collateral? It is like a free call option, with government policies. If you

Agree, the question to ask is compared to what? Compared to gold, which hasn't had a run up like the other assets, comes to mind. What others?

Agree bitcoin is a highly speculative asset. Is bitcoin also a reflexive asset?

Expanding the money supply is making inflation worse, because that is the definition of inflation- expanding the money supply. Prices do not inflate, money supply inflates.

How long would it take you to guess one? 100 years? Does the app actually check to see if you have guessed?

It wasn't a rounding error, the wind wasn't blowing, which is the problem with these renewables, they don't work when the wind doesn't blow. If you are really open to a different framework for analyzing energy policies,

I suppose grad students can also be paid for TA'ing a class, maybe that is way you mean. I find it ridiculous. If you want to pay them, then they shouldn't get free tuition. Free tuition is part of their unspoken 'pay.'

If they are private and for profit then why do they get public tax dollars? That should end immediately. Also many universities are public and not for profit.... you know the main ones that actually have well known sports teams... not uh MI

Science is downstream of politics. This 'science' wants their opinion to be treated as fact.

Solar is unreliable and the push for policies favoring wind and solar contribute to Texas Grid Blackouts. It really is amazing how much power, influence, and profits this movement have achieved.

Knowing the law would help clarify to you what justifies using it and when it does not for self defense. You don't go looking for situations that call for self defense, that is the opposite of self defense, usually.

Slippery slope for proponents of bitcoin to slip bitcoin into the curriculum. Imo financial concepts should have been taught along with math, because math is pretty boring to most students the way it is taught currently.

If there was anyone else left that thought Universities were about education this should wake them up. Sports are fun, but they are not the purpose of higher learning. Why are people worshiping these athletes and so obsessed with NCAA? They

Are athletes students or are they employees? I would bet that none of these athletes are paying tuition and have special privileges in regard to course work so they trade this for that, playing for the school. Let's just stop pretendin

Reminds me of Leonard Peikoff's lecture- "A picture is not an argument." Memes show how easy it is to manipulate or con a large group of people.

You also need to learn the law of self defense, equally if not more important, if you plan to use a gun for self defense.

Where are the returns coming from? Is it a productive activity? Or are you making returns from others coming in and buying at a higher price? This can describe people pushing stocks not because the business is profitable, but because they s

Ponzi's themselves are not illegal, but a descriptive term. I think what makes a ponzi scheme illegal is the existence of fraud, or lying about where the returns come from, not necessarily where the returns come from.

That is a separate question though- whether someone can be found. Most large defi projects are not anonymous. Many have VC backing, are on discord, etc.

An argument some have suggested is to make it illegal to pay ransoms. But with crypto, someone could pay it for you (maybe the hacker), just to have charges filled on the victim.

I have to disagree, but will consider your argument. I just don't think you can write code that does money transmission and publish it and say you are now not doing money transmission because you can't modify it after it is publis
