Not Bitcoin, it’s his Trump scam coins.
I’m mean, there’s better forms of currency than others. Using shells or glass beads probably isn’t a good idea. There’s manipulation, debasement, counterfeiting, etc. That’s the stuff Bitcoin fixes.
Why do you call bitcoin a scam? I see it as a new technology, the only digitally scarce technology in the world.
Free energy falls to the earth everyday, just need to put up those solar panels that MAGA hate for some reason.
That doesn’t make any sense at all. That’s like saying “I want to buy some dollars with my dollars.” You can earn bitcoin by running a mining rig, or getting your salary paid in bitcoin.
That’s why you stay away from shitcoins. They are all scams, even ETH & Solana.
I agree with you, “Crypto” - everything other than bitcoin, is a scam.
Much like Separation of Church & State, we also need Separation of Currency & State. I disagree, we absolutely needed to create a currency to protect us from the government. Especially from the MAGA Fascist government. Status Quo: print dollars, give them to the rich, screw the poor
You mean their “crypto” scams, like “Trump Coin”. No one controls Bitcoin.
You’d rather have dollars, pounds, or euros than bitcoin?
It’s the curse of being a knowledgeable person. You can see what’s coming far in advance of everyone else, so when you tell them, they think you’re crazy.
The counterpoint is: 1: Gold has to be mined, purified, shipped, and stored in vaults. Expending a lot of energy. 2. It’s impossible to audit how much gold a country has backing its currency. 3. Gold as a currency can be debased: other metals added to it to artificially increase supply
Let’s see if the Defense responds
So far so good. Fred needs to catch that ball with his hands
Texas looks even softer than Charmin Ohio State
Afraid to let their QBs test the secondary 🤷♂️
Zaratul’s Dark Templars (lawyers) are going to rip them apart
He doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying. We could come up with every solution possible, they’ll still move the goalpost.
I have questions!
Social media is very good at bringing out the very worst side of people. Having these different opinions / philosophies/ etc together in a space that brings out their “bad” side… I don’t see how that can ever work. You need a social media platform that only allows polite conversation.
I’ve been questioning all these financial and economic theories and such for a long time now. Like, “are they basing everything they know on a foundation of infinite money supply?” 😬
I didn’t say economists understand debasement. They’ve all grown up and have been educated in the fiat currency system. They don’t understand scarcity either. Rome survived the wars with Carthage, Spartacus, the Greeks, Egypt, countless civil wars. None could bring Rome to its knees.
No way it could’ve lasted 25% longer huh? 😆 But seriously, go check out the amount of Silver in the denarius from Caesar to Romulus Augustus.
I think there would be a good chance of that, yes. The Empire finally fell in 1453, there wasn’t any natural disasters that caused it.
Not “inflationary”, it was debased, those are two different things. And if I’m wrong, then way did both the Western and Eastern Empires start their decline after they started debasing their currency? You don’t know why Rome fell, yet you dismiss this outright. That’s bad academia
You said “during their rise”, which is very telling! Correct, during the rise of Rome, they had a stable currency.
How many credible historians understand things like currency debasement, inflation, etc? Doesn’t surprise me that they wouldn’t spend their time researching that angle.
Prove me wrong then. Unless you think it’s easy to pay your solders, auxiliaries, and bribes in worthless coins? Let alone run an effective economy.
Feel free to prove me wrong then. Nero started it in Rome. Michael IV in Constantinople almost 1000 years later.
The Roman Empire’s downfall began when the Emperors started to debase the denarius. That began a death spiral they couldn’t recover from. Bitcoin is impossible to debase, which makes it the perfect money. The US has been debasing the dollar for 55 years…
Ummm, RADAR doesn’t work underwater…
As someone who’s former military, I believe what is being discussed is using children as human shields.
Can’t trust anything they say or publish. Immortalized bullshit? 🤷♂️
How much are the fossil fuel companies paying him? Not sure if senile fascist dude was the right call to be their messenger
Oh, I guess if you can’t destroy MAGA, then that means Marxist are actually powerless, like they’ve always been, and had zero to do with defeating fascism in the past, like I said! Don’t worry, we Liberals will once again defeat fascism for you, then you can claim credit for it
And Bet! If you Marxists are so powerful, then destroy MAGA. How about on Thursday? Does Thursday work for you?
Yeah yeah, you googled and found something that some dude said years ago that supports your argument and think that somehow validates your claim. Don’t care. You Marxists have zero power, yet claim to have been the key drivers to everything good ever, and everyone else is evil 😂
😂 you’re getting high on your own supply dude!
Wow you’ve got some delusions of grandeur! The Union (Liberal democracy & capitalist) defeated the Confederacy and ended slavery. President Grant & later the FBI brought down the Klan. LBJ ended Jim Crow. All the people you named helped, but they had no power to actually make the change.
Well that doesn’t jive with history at all. Liberalism has always defeated fascism: US Civil War, KKK, Jim Crow, etc. Trump’s MAGA fascism will lose as well.
Take the Wink Martidale during the Ohio State and Alabama games, put him in charge of the defense at the beginning of the season… 12-0 and a National Championship with David Warren at the helm???
I think your “inherently anti-democratic” statement is misdirected. That issue is caused by the US dollar being debased, not by capitalism. And the “overclass’s” vote still only counts as one each. They need to convince people to vote against their own interests in order to wield that power
I disagree. How many democracies were around during Feudalism? Yet democracies are abundant with Feudalism’s successor. Democracies need power in the hands of a wide range of the population. Power = money.
You deal in absolutes (like the Sith). There is a world of difference between dishonorably discharging all trans people from the military, denying them access to healthcare and coverage, vs: “Maybe there’s a fairness question with trans women in sports.”
I like the argument that Democracy wouldn’t exist without Capitalism. If Capitalism is necessary for Democracy. Then Liberalism is the fusion of Capitalism with Civil Rights. So, if you call everything associated with Capitalism “Right-Wing”, that’s how you get there.
Again, I disagree. You’re not even trying to be genuine if you’re making those claims.
Disagree on the first part, agree on the second.
Throughout American history, from the Revolution - Civil War / reconstruction - Great Depression / WW2 - Civil Rights Movement - Today: the liberal party / liberal minded people have always guided the country to a “more perfect union”. The conservative goal is to destroy that. Not all are perfect
No, there isn’t. Any vote not for Dems is a vote for the fascists. That’s just how “first past the post” works. You even have 3rd party candidates backed by Russia (Jill Stein) whose sole role is to siphon votes away from the Dems.
Unfortunately we’ve only got 2 choices.
That’s my point, the ones with (R) behind their name are the ones stripping away transgender rights.
Again, I don’t give a shit about trans people playing sports. Create a trans sports league if you want, problem solved. If Newsom’s on the ballot in the general, I’m going to vote for him, and so should everyone else. Same if it’s AOC, Pete, etc.
No, not really, because the ones with the (R) next to their name are pure evil incarnate. I’m not gullible or naive enough to think any politician is going to “fix” something.
After seeing Trump win twice, it’s a bold statement saying a white dude can’t win the general.
How’s the 2nd go around of MAGA working out for you? So good that you want a 3rd? Not enough concentration camps and Gestapo kidnapping people off the streets yet? Is that the equivalent of someone thinking trans women shouldn’t compete in women’s sports? 🙄
If Gavin Newsom is on the ballot in 2028 next to whatever MAGA fascist they run, I’m voting for Newsom. No question.
Well, the math disagrees with you.
If you were describe a “crypto” that requires the Fed, etc. it would be the textbook definition of a shit coin
I think they view this war as a way to destroy the Russian military and collapse Putin’s regime. Basically, the longer this war goes on, the higher chance Russia gets removed as a near-peer threat. Thus allowing the West militaries to focus on China.
I’d rather see them deploy their troops to defend all the Ukrainian northern border with Belarus and Russia, thus freeing up hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians soldiers to retake their territory.
If the national guard ends up under the fascist’s control, those guns are going to be needed…
🐯 🔥 💪
He seems to be the only Dem actually wielding his power to forcefully oppose the fascists. Everyone else is just posting “this is bad”, while GN is: “We will gerrymander every single republican rep out of office”.
Bismarck was a shit ship, not surprising that losers would look up to it
Seems like something an agent of Moscow would do.
Well, at least they’re incompetent fascists
All social media algorithms are trying to use people’s emotions to control them.
The Republicans, conservatives, ect voters have never had any values, ideas, or economic sense. They just parrot whatever their party or president tells them. “Free Market, tariffs are bad!” “Tariffs are great, they will make us free!” It’s shockingly Orwellian
The Behind the Bastards podcast did a great episode on Yarvin. Dude’s a cunt
Yep, I have zero faith in the Tigers front office. Coaching staff is incredible tho
Some people trying to find a way to go viral, and some people are giving it to them
Michigan has an independent redistricting commission. Not controlled by the Governor or the State legislature.
Yeah I’m going to have to strongly disagree with you. If I give someone 6 BTC to buy their home, that’s not going to crash Bitcoin. Meanwhile, you’re advocating for the same monetary system that destroyed the Roman Empire, and currently has the US $40T in debt.
Negative ghost rider, these “servers” are the miners. In exchange for securing the network, they are rewarded with bitcoins + network transaction fees. If this wasn’t profitable, they wouldn’t be in business.
Are you saying these are a bad thing?
Bitcoin’s not a company, it’s Gold 2.0. Gold doesn’t buy back its shares. Gold mining companies burn energy to mine it. Their profits depend on how efficient they can mine the gold vs. the market price. Same for Bitcoin miners.
Bitcoin price = ⬆️$♾️ / 21M
Wall Street does the same and worse to the stock market. The difference here is, public companies can create more shares to dump on the market. Bitcoin cannot, so it’s the only fixed supply asset in a sea of unlimited supply assets.
Wind still exists at night, hydro power still there, battery storage is a thing.
It’s a shitcoin law.
Something tells me they’re going to lose money by doing this.
But convict Trump and his criminal family don’t care about any of that, they just want to line their pockets.
The old ones still hit hard!
Literally free energy falling from the sky
The oligarchy doesn’t own Bitcoin.
You don’t have to buy Bitcoin. You can mine it, sell goods & services for it, etc. Bitcoin = Gold 2.0.
I don’t know if I’d call this a bad investment. Seems like the opposite, no?
It’s so crazy to watch highlights and see Mikey at WR.
This guy even sounds like a bitch
I can see scenarios where Bitcoin’s ascendancy causes huge wars, maybe even another world war between the haves and have nots. The people who don’t have Bitcoin could see their economic future collapse, Hitler 2.0’s rise to power blaming the problems on whatever minority group, and bang: WW3
Gold 2.0 is the best way to describe it. Everyone has a concept of gold, no one has a correct concept of what money really is.
I’ve been saying this, not as good as this, but 👍
Exactly, so many of these new businesses and programs based on Bitcoin really don’t appeal to me. Might as well give my coins to MtGox…
Why would I lend out my Bitcoin to a government?
