Well, at least the truckers weren't shot to death of locked up in a far away camp. I think in China, dissent is pushed more harshly. I'm not saying its heading in the right direction, but if I had to pick where to be stuck, US/Canada vs. China, I would of course not pick China.

LOL... you want to talk about facts? You think fractional reserve banking is the holy grail. You deem this a fact. I think there are enough experts out there that can trace back the demise of a currency to the very point that fractional reserve banking was created. Facts aren't as black and...

I think ultimately, the world is moving more towards freedom. With the internet, we can all see how the rest of the world lives. Nobody wants to be under authoritarian rule as it never ends well. China had a great 30 years, but look at how all the rich were buying up properties in other...

I'm surprised that nobody has yet asked the simple question about win rate or profit expectancy of the system. But this post now answers that question. So what exactly would the programmer get if he does all the coding and understands the significance of it? Is it simply that the model...

I don't accept this at all. Of course if you flood the market with unlimited funds you tend to create some good things much faster, but precisely at the expense of the inevitable crash. The world worked just fine in 1950. If we stopped at having the internet in 2000, but no cell phones, I'm...

I already used the phrase "not your keys, not your coins", and "bitcoin in cold storage" on the very first page of this thread, so I'm not sure how you are overlooking the fact that I'm fully aware of the difference between bitcoin on exchanges vs. in your hardware wallet. I do wonder what...

I used to think that yes, money had to increase with increasing productivity and population. But I came across Jeff Booth where talks about how the future is deflationary but the system is only built on inflation, so we have these two opposing forces. Inflation is tax, simple as that, and...

I am of the opinion that there is no way to get through a recession anymore. If you start out at 200lbs body weight and go hungry, you can easily drop 50lbs and still be alive. But when you start out at 100lbs, you don't have 50lbs to lose before you die. Given the state of income...

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Amazing how intelligent he sounds in here, and yes, he seems very well connected to what's going on. I also disagree on the ESG investing part. I don't think the movement against BTC with regards to energy use is that strong. The benefit of...

Do you honestly expect interest rates to go anywhere near even 5%? With the amount of debt in the system, we will not even reach double digits and I suspect 5% is even not in the cards given that mortgage rates would be at 7 or 8%. The FED is I believe scared shitless right now because they...

Its not a bad strategy, but I think the chances of it happening aren't the best. What would you consider the bottom of the fallout? If its announced that USDT has regulatory issues, will the price of BTC drop in minutes and you can scoop it up then, or will it takes days or weeks to work...

The connection is that with bitcoin, there is absolutely no worry about where the coins are and who has what. Its in the ledger that anyone can see. The issue brought up with regards to Monero I found as very interesting. Since privacy works both ways, as the article said, there is no way to...

This is the smartest thing I have ever seen you write. But what happens when the credit that is the lifeblood of the economy goes belly up? When where is so much credit, when everyone is drowning in credit, that the system cannot support itself? Ah, you were so close, but now you've ruined...

So we can both at least agree that its good to go all in!! I went in quite heavy (but I'm poor, so its not much money... LOL) at not the best time since I really thought BTC was gonna hit 100K by the end of the year. But alas, it dropped instead. So I'm a little pissed because I could have...

I agree that the games are endless for some cryptos, and also pretty much for all fiat. And lets not forget real estate scams as well. The price of real estate if you ask me is driven by the government's power to manipulate interest rates and the laundering of money into said real estate which...

Isn't this is a great answer to all your other arguments about why so much energy is wasted on BTC and why we don't just come up with a new crypto that tackles so many problems from what you call old technology? I think this is extremely positive and am happy to see your post about this so I...

I honestly have no idea how that could happen. Every time people fight me on the crash that never happened after 2007, I always point to the fact that most in the industry probably didn't realize how far the government would go to print so much money, and how low the interest rates would go and...

The posted clip does not match what you wrote. But it is nevertheless simply amazing to see how easy it is to use BTC. But I will say that for the majority of people, using a credit card is superior. It is just as fast, you get to earn points, and the CC company will refund any purchases that...

I worry about this as well. The precedent was set in March 2020 with the crypto market dropping orders or magnitude more than Nasdaq, although you can argue that its a different time now and the crypto market is more mature. But even though I keep reading how institution investment is very...

Ya, it is kind of silly for them to scrub the negative feedback comments. I honestly don't think someone is going to drop SC just because the menus have changed.
