I believe the cheapest energy sources are used. You can't compete on the mining market with the coal power in my region, for example. The cheapest electricity in the world tends to be hydro or subsidized. I assume countries that heavil

Before the pandemic, you could make $15-30/hr AFTER expenses driving for Uber in my city. This includes gas, maintenance, depreciation, and cleaning. This was with a Honda Fit. But only for 10-15ish hours per week. And you had to know

The part where hard work comes into play is this: When one understands the value proposition of Bitcoin so thoroughly that they have the confidence to buy a large amount and hold through the bad times. This takes a tremendous amount of rese

The main advantage of Bitcoin is that it cannot be corrupted by the state. Perhaps you trust the state, but then you are not the target market for the product.

It doesn't take much effort to verify these claims. But it's not worth my time digging it up for you. If you don't want to believe it, then don't. Doesn't make a difference to me.

Tether is backed 1:1 with USD in traditional bank accounts. Some of it may still be seized and held by the US government, not sure if that's been resolved yet. USDT also trades freely on open markets against USD. If USDT was being prin

I make trades based on analyzing data that historically has not been available in financial markets. I designed custom compression algorithms to manage the huge amount of data. I came up with a new charting technique for the data that I hav

"And I get it, they have to deal with a lot of people, all with their own opinions, many of which are indeed wrong." This is a great point, but it's important to keep in mind that many medical professionals INSIST that you ge

The most important use-case for Bitcoin is the separation of money and state. As in, taking the place of USD as the worlds reserve currency. It does not need to be used to settle every little transaction for this, but rather used as a base

Assuming we're all USA citizens here. We've lived in an individualist society that has left behind people like the OP. Almost no one, if anyone at all, argued for collectivism to undo the bad thing that happened to them. You'

Very true. Social safety nets only work for people who are believed to be oppressed. So what happens is the oppressed groups just end up being the people no one believes are actually suffering.

Yea, starting your own business is the only option for a lot of disabled people.

You don't believe I'm sick so you won't provide me healthcare. Progressives even managed to convince my own family I was crazy. What you did to me is evil.

I did not purchase a health care plan with the money. I purchased effective treatments. To be frank, the healthcare system is worse than useless for many when it comes to debilitating chronic illness. I do qualify for disability, but I can&

The ADA is a disaster for many disabled people. It has created a tremendous amount of hostility and misunderstanding. "No clue what this means or how you could possibly even know that." I know this because I have the illness and h

No, the treatments I need are experimental, and there is a tremendous amount of hostility from healthcare workers directed at people with my illness. It is very controversial. Europeans are just as fucked as Americans when they have this il

As a disabled person who has also benefitted immensely from Uber, I hear this a lot, and it is really frustrating. No one will help me, especially progressive leaning people. You don't get political or social brownie points for helping

As an Uber driver, I can tell you, the majority of drivers are against AB5, but that doesn't fit into the mainstream media or Democrat's agenda, so you'll rarely hear that fact. The driver's that are for AB5 tend to be n

I'll clarify the sentence. The body produces water as a byproduct of ATP (energy) metabolism. During a fast, fat and other tissues are broken down by catabolic reactions to accomplish this. Knowing this, I am willing to entertain the i

When I first heard of abstaining from water while fasting I also had a strong emotional reaction to the idea. After realizing that water is a byproduct of catabolism, I'm willing to entertain the idea that it is beneficial.

I lost my entire former life to chronic illness. I got to the point where death was imminent. Just managing symptoms and living whatever life I could wasn't an option. The best advice I got was to treat it as if I were at war. Nothing
