Any business will fail unless it allocates its resources responsibly. If banks don't, they'll go out of business (or get bailed out, but that's a different topic), if small businesses allocate money irresponsibly, they'l

Going through the trouble of clicking/closing a few ads is not the same as having your information being added to an ever-growing file that major corporations have on everyone. And you can't say "just don't visit the sit

These issues have already been fixed by other crypto currencies like Bitcoin Cash. The core development team behind Bitcoin doesn't seem to be interested in fixing these problems for the time being.

Good point and I agree. That said I still don't think this would count like a true libertarian experiment because -like you point out- it is in the real world where you still have to abide by the rules of government/society. But y

That's my point. More choices = better for business. Not everyone is scared of being scammed because they pay with a crypto currency.

I'm talking about taxes distorting the market. A taxed market is not a libertarian paradise.

Having a choice is always better. You are not required to accept crypto currencies.

But governments are limiting activities through legislation and taxes. Say the crypto of your choice dips by 15 percent, but if you want to cash out you'll have to pay capital gains tax + the exchange fees. You then may decide to just

When was the last time gold was traded for < $10? Not everything that goes up is surely to go down. At least not in a lifetime. Nobody really knows what's going to happen, that's market 101.

Honest question: Why would the average person want/need to do that with their smartphone or computer?

Just wanted to point out that people maybe will have less money, but the goods and services will also be a lot cheaper to produce.

Sure could. If I'm not mistaken, Europe does that to some extend.

Lots of people like to repeat the "$200K" (It was actually $300K) paid to Gal Gadot. But fail to mention that she's also taking a percentage of the profits. That's what most actors are paid when starting a franchise, giv

No, now you need to sign up for identity-theft protection because Equifax handed all your info to the bad guys. If it weren't for Equifax, anyone trying to use your identity would have a much harder time.

Your comment would add more value if you actually explained what you do and something related to the link. Right now I only know someone, somewhere, can work for 3 hours a day and play for the rest of time.

I'm guessing he meant who's creating all those kind of companies at the same time. There's definitely thousands of peoples/companies working on those same problems/markets.
