Ok im done with HN... its like the elders home of SV.
"those damn kind with those stooopeed comyuters....
we had real rice boards back in ww1 that was a nice time..
interwebs hazh no walluey anywaysh
We can argue about the correct price of bitcoin sure, but that it has 0 utility in a world full of athoritarian goverments, its like saying hideouts for jew in Nazi germany had 0 utility. Fucking ridicolous and stupid, dont want to even sugarcoat that level of stupidity. Sugercoating you stupid asses here on HN leads exactly to this Political correctness that got Trump into power.
So fkc off, go suck Trumps Dck if you love his money so much.
the US dollar finances the biggest war machine on this planet how the f is that ethical?
Last time I checked 99% of street drugs are sold for USD.
Please dont start withe propaganda “muuhh freedom”
People can keep using USD or monopoly money as much as they want. But please be quite to tell people what is good or bad for them.
USD lost 80% of value in the last 30years. And it will happen again. So where is the bubble?
The railroad sucks because its an old outdated businessmodel when it comes to personal transport.
Only railroadbusiness that make sense is Heave industries and inner city subways. Everything else ist just romantazied waste full bs. So of course these kind if business can only be sustained by wasteful public spending.
God your socialist are aweful, everytime that fails you guys point it to the random single event that made that whole thing fail and act as if that were some unqie exception. “... single bone headed reliance...”
Your limited mental capacity and brainwashed mind don’t make it easy to argue coherently such a complicated topic.
Your base assumption is that the current state of the world is perfect and everyone who doubts is is a fool.
You are the type of person who would be among the mobs that wanted to burn Darwin or Copernicus. You are the type of mob the would shout soviet union slogans if you would have grown up there. Its a waste of time to engage in arguments with people like you, you are just a nerdy Trump. Go ahead bring back the coal jobs.
Like I said its hidden.
E.g. my employe pays around 90k for me of which I only see 78k then they apply Tax, pension, healthcare, mandatory unemployment insurance etc, Im left with around 40k. Then i go and spend it and it again gets taxed with 19%. Many products have beeryax, coffetax etc. higest is petrol tax which is 70%. So If i spend 200€ on petrol an month, 70% is tax. I could go on and on. like I said those tax are hidden.
Example please?
By that line of thinking the Soviet Union must have had the best and cheapest service and products.
Also Venezuela should be a total Dream right now without empty stores, starving children, no murder rampage.
Tax burden in Germany for middleclass is at around 70%.
Beeing a software engineer in germany means that you code 8months for the government and 4months for yourself.
The western governments introduced more and more “hidden” taxes. So just looking at income tax is not fair.
Just because he advocates for lower taxes doesn’t mean he want anarchy.
Thats like WarnerBrothers saying in 1995 That movie streaming will never be a thing because its ridiculous to stream with a 56k Modem.
Now we have Netflix and Youtube etc.
I could go on and on, but the kneejerk resistance is extremely polarised and I feel like preaching the Internet in 1995 to some 65year old Executives at a newspaper.
There was some other interview where Marc Andressen holds a presentation of the Netscape browser and is asked by a reporter what cool websites he can show or think of. He didn't have a good answer and for sure were not able to predict products like Facebook.
Thats just one single exhange fuer one single fiat currency pair
Guess what there is Euros, KRW, Jen, Rimimbi.
Insane to see how buthurt HN is ober missing out on one of the best tech opportunities in the last decade.
Many here will probably hate the big family Christmas gathering because every relative assumes that the geeky guy surly must have bought some bitcoins.
But HN is no better then IBM or Dell. Its always easy to bash IBM and the way they went under, but beeing mid 30s and dismissing Cryptocurrency as fad of some kid traders is just the same.
Having said that, does anyone have an inspirational name for my Yacht? Satoshicruise?
Why dont we regulate everything like that.
Why do we allow people to spend 2M$ on a Car or 6k$ on a bag?
Why do we allow people to buy unlimited lottery tickets or gamble everything away in the casino?
Those examples have cleary less benefit for society then the dumbest investment strategy.
Let people invest, sure tons if people will lose their shirt but they will learn from it and stay away. Everyone else in the society gets to Enjoy the increased liquidity in the society. Why does anyone think that its ok that we created this random gatekeeps in the society that block ordinary people from investing beciase they are to “stupid”.
The accredited investors sheme is a fraud, the arbitrary number on 1m$ networth to be an accredited investor is a joke. Thats means that even a Business Prof. Can’t invest because the SEC deems him to be to stupid.
