that's a valid question. three reasons why bitcoin & crypto is NOT like gold and very dangerous. 1) limited supply: drives up price enormously. almost endless. minimal supply, infinitely increasing demand. depending on how far this

any country that allows crypto as an asset will risk an enormous bubble in their economy. it will eventually suck up all capital from other asset class, because crypto can never lose value unless people stop believing in it. the only reason

you can make it illegal for a bank to do business with crypto exchanges like what SK is doing right now. If all G10 currency do this then it can kill the bubble in crypto. I actually think this is a better move for crypto's future.

Bitcoin and cryptos ought to be banned for good. Cryptocurrencies are scam and outright bubble that will bring down the world economy. There is no currency without an authority to guarantee its value. Cryptos are pure bubble. If there is an

When a bubble bursts, it's not just about some people, but it brings down the whole economy. I can't believe people have already forgotten what CDO has done to this economy. Bitcoin & cryptos are financial weapons of mass dest

I just wanted to say that be careful about lowering your price just because you can. You should charge a price that maximizes your profit. Don't charge low just because you can, unless you have a reason (company philosophy, growth, etc

This is a terrible jab at Uber. I expected Bloomberg for higher journalistic standard than this. 1. What does "two female friends" have to do with driver's argument with Kalanick? Should've cut that out. I read it as sli

I think Uber has bright future, but I really doubt about current valuation. What's looking bright for them is that they can replace their drivers with self-driving cars eventually. By then core business competency completely transforms

This is very true. Hierarchy is hierarchy. Any organization can pretend they don't have such blasphemous thing, but if that was really true then there would be no "management" to begin with. What's wrong with accepting a

I think The Office was a huge success without any the characteristics you point out. I don't think it's about the setting per se, but whether the material connects with the viewer in a particular way.

I agree - China is NOT going through the same trajectory as developed countries. China's population is multiple times greater, which creates far greater segmented market and demand. World is also going through information technology re

The core issue here is that there is no included standard package in Javascript. It happened because Javascript did not have authoritative implementation when it first began. Next ECMA should require to pack some batteries in to avoid this

That extraneous tooling killed React for me. React itself is simple and easy, I agree with that. But getting things wired up so that you can develop a real application? I think I lost a good day or two on it. Even after I was set up, honest

Economics is a study on how to distribute finite resource. Traditional economics have only considered unbounded input resource such as air. Now we're entering an age where we'll be having near-infinite output resource. Nuclear fis

Unless there is another language that beats Python in terms of simplicity of toolchain, deployment and syntax, Python is not going to die. Very few people care about the performance of a language (this is same as asking whether Intel i5 or

Surely nobody's going to call an Asian a white -- I think he just meant to say that it's becoming less meaningful to group Asians among minorities in demographic analysis, perhaps because Asians are showing similar pattern as &quo

Ghost promised to be a simple blogging platform. It's simple if you use it as installed. It's not so straightforward to tweak and upgrade. I'm not very excited about it anymore.

Author's description of startup reality is certainly plausible, however I believe author's view is too grim. Startup is where ideas that nobody are willing to try otherwise are implemented. Theoretically bigger corporations with f
