    Crypto Critic Charlie Munger Sides with China

    You keep getting hung up on the whole currency replacement argument. That issue was settled by the IRS back in 2017 when they ruled that Bitcoin is not a currency, it's digital property that is taxed on capital gains like other forms of property such as real estate, securities, etc. So no, the...

    Yeah, they definitely look guilty on some level. :D

    Yep, useless

    You're right. None of those activities take place in dollars. Only crypto. :confused::confused:

    ⚠ Retailers call out Visa and Mastercard for fee hikes that could make inflation worse

    I explained this in a prior thread, but currently credit cards are processing zero transactions per second. When you swipe your credit card at the grocery store, the only thing that happens on the spot is an "approval", but that's not a transaction. An approval is simply a promise to the...

    There's $30 billion in BTC transactions per day so it looks like a lot of people are using it.

    Try wiring $100k to someone across the world on a Sunday, or a holiday, or any week day past 5PM and let me know how speedy that goes.

    ⚠ Retailers call out Visa and Mastercard for fee hikes that could make inflation worse

    Crypto payments are orders of magnitude faster than credit cards, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with that statement.

    Yep, useless

    Having the ability to send unlimited amounts of money to anyone in the world at the speed of light 24/7 sounds like it's got a lot of utility to me. And why people keep trying to compare Bitcoin to a company is beyond me. Bitcoin is not a company! It was never meant to be! It just goes to show...

    Vitamin D supplement 'overdosing' is possible and harmful, warn doctors

    Well the good news is that the entire condition is completely reversible with enough physical therapy... aka resistance training workouts. And although my Mom is going through the process kicking and screaming because the workout culture was never her thing, I know it's the best for her moving...

    Vitamin D supplement 'overdosing' is possible and harmful, warn doctors

    Hey, at least the guy did it to himself. My poor Mother has had two major medical issues in the past ten years. The first was a trip to the emergency room due to low potassium levels, and the second one was rhabdomyolysis, which is extreme muscle wasting. She's in a wheelchair today because of...

    Creatine Monohydrate

    All it ever did for me was bloat me out and make me excessively sore after a workout. No thanks.

    Luxury watchmaker Breitling starts accepting Bitcoin for purchases

    It's not that they didn't care MW. It's that they had no other option at the time. I'm telling you right now if you ask any business owner today if they would like to get paid immediately upon delivery of the product or service, or wait any amount of time longer than that, the answer will always...

    Luxury watchmaker Breitling starts accepting Bitcoin for purchases

    The sellers. Because your "immediate" as the consumer is actually a week's worth of time to a seller. That's 5 solid days their money is tied up doing nothing.

    Luxury watchmaker Breitling starts accepting Bitcoin for purchases

    I honestly don't know a single businessman that would agree with that statement. Every business wants to get paid immediately upon delivery of the product or service.

    Luxury watchmaker Breitling starts accepting Bitcoin for purchases

    Who cares? I'll tell you who cares. The person or business selling the goods or services! That's who! You can't just look at the situation from the perspective of one party in a two-party transaction.
