Like the pee camera that Tony Podesta donated to the Guggenheim? https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/07/12/tony-podesta-had-a-toilet-camera-yes-tony-podesta-had-a-toilet-camera/ How much do you think that was appraised for?

Absolutely. Look at what happened up in Canada with the truckers. Support then or not, what Trudeau did was straight up third world, banana republic nonsense. I don't think the entire concept of blockchain or crypto is bad, but I think Bitcoin is doomed by its poor feature set. I think an...

First, I don't think it's accurate to call Bitcoin a "bearer asset". I would define that as something like a bearer bond or a gold depository receipt. Something that actually entitles the bearer to something else. Bitcoin is what it is, with no specific guarantee of convertibility to...

Go back and read the post I replied to. It specifically said " Engineers who really understand blockchain..." As an engineer who does understand the Blockchain, I do not support his argument and I do not want to be associated with it. The post I replied to was attempting to invoke an...

Freegoldrush made a definite statement regarding what engineers who understand this crap believe. I just proved him wrong. Argument from authority goes down in flames. He's the one who dragged engineers into this. Now you're all upset and emotional and resorting to ad hominem attacks. Poor...

I'm an engineer, I understand the Blockchain and Bitcoin is doomed. Issues like this thread are exactly why. Instantaneous unrevocable transfers are great if you're a heroin dealer or kidnapper, not so much if you're just a run of the mill person trying to accomplish a normal financial...

You have to ask " What changed?" In the dot com crash people got laid off left and right. In the real estate crash, banks stopped giving out ninja loans. I don't see a sign yet that anything is turning around. If I saw a bunch of zombie companies going under that would probably convince me...

I think someone just paid for a favor https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b2269281-da6b-4393-901f-662caac26041

You're making some assumptions about regular people that clearly aren't true based on their voting habits. Even if I were to take everything you just said at face value, you haven't addressed the issue that someone else is going to come along with a better solution. If Bitcoin was the only...

Somehow I think you're just being deliberately obtuse. There is no inherent time limit on how long my shares of company X will continue to have value. Just because you will die some day does not mean that there is no difference between leasing a car and buying a car, and that is the argument...

The issue with shorting something is that it's a time-limited bet. It's not enought to know that something is overvalued, you need to know that the rest of the market will be convinced that it's overvalued within a specific timeframe. It works if you're Muddy Waters or Hindenburg and have...

Fundamentals? Which ones? The p/e ratio of infinity or the p/b ratio of infinity? Or the earnings growth of zero? The "mining" doesn't grant it any particular value any more than digging a hole and filling it in again increases my property value. You can't convert the Bitcoin back into the...

My thoughts: Why bet on the action of something controlled by a central committee? Why not just slam your hand in a door? The Chinese government may or may not do ok, but I suspect they have bigger concerns than their exchange rate for usd. Especially if they can get Russian oil in their own...

Imagine how foolish or deeply corrupt one would need to be to just blindly assume the FBI is incapable of malfeasance. https://www.britannica.com/topic/COINTELPRO Let me know when MLK's FBI file is declassified. We have a freaking national holiday to celebrate the man, yet over 50 years after...

Zerohedge. By the time you hear about it on CNBC, it's all over.

Or he's referring to the fact that us little people have to pay our losses whereas he gets bailed out.

Hahaha. What value exists in these NFTs besides concealing money laundering and luring in suckers? If I'm buying something of value I want a title enforceable in court. (And some sort of actual calculable value)

Alternatively, those crazy low prices for Russian stocks are not real until they will actually let me buy at those prices.

That doesn't mean they can't interfere with the operation of the market. All they have to do is freeze or delay. Or invent some new rules on the spot. Again, look at what happened with GameStop. DTCC (with a citadel exec on the board) issued some non-public "requirements" to the retail...
