Had you considered that your people are simply not “investment people” and that’s why you chose not to invest when you first heard of it?
You’re either right or wrong and your opinion is valid. Downvote isn’t justified IMO.
No, store of value by definition cannot be diluted. Possession is the biggest risk, which seems low mathematically at this time based on prevailing wisdom. That could change, and if done so in secret for long enough, could render the validity of ownership null and void.
You come across as suggesting to someone they should self-terminate because it's better that way.
Do you actually have experience with counterculture? Primal instincts based around the idea of dominance prevail as often do in any social hierarchy, and the musings about some type of altruistism surrounding suicide by the commenter to whom I replied reflect this reality.
In short, the counterculture movement is plenty infiltrated with immature and often sociopathic mentalities that heartlessly harass sensitive folks who are at their most vulnerable under the influence of psychedelics. This is rarely discussed but is so prevalent, particularly since the age of exposure aligns with immature phases, adolesence in particular.
In laymen’s terms, it’s a sport to “fuck with” someone who has a “reaction”. Perhaps it’s the suicide victim realizing that, instead of this idea that they are a defective burden saving society from their own black hole via premature self termination, that they are escaping unwanted membership of a vastly primitive species. I assure you, the mentality of the suicidal is quite the opposite of “conventional wisdom” about being a burden, at least in some cases.
The main insight is more likely that people like you exist, with your immature attitude/ridiculous theory on suicide. I find your kind to be subtly destructive and all too common.
Take care and aloha.
What’s the basis for your presumption?
If current software language trends were dystopian then JavaScript would be the McDonald’s of languages. Fast but terrible for you.
I just need to finish the job dude. We're animals. We all die sooner or later. I'm not able to sustain myself any longer and I don't have any purpose.
About me: Old bald white sedentary apathetic and cynical American male, long term harassed, health going bad, out of work long term programmer, homeless, In debt with maxed out credit and other non dischargeable accounts, out of money. Gave away all my possessions to a local family. Next up: eternity, nothingness or something else. Scared but ready to go.
No, it is not obvious at all. The article covers pros and cons with a necessary set of assumptions as well.
Commoditizing open, trustworthy solutions becomes mandatory for a free and open society. We are clearly far from that, so the Wild West dystopia continues, with the privileged few in control of their privacy. Most don’t care as culture is now open for the new generation, like a dystopian hi tech version of free love again.
In the short term, it’s incumbent on you to devise your own trusted solutions to work around the ever persistent series of vulns in the majority if not all the tech we hold dear.
Just remember, such correlations work until they don’t. If you’re trading and not investing, price is all that matters.
Will you be uncomfortable if the market tops in 2017? Being comforted solely by a headline suggests that you intend on taking action if you believe the market has topped — or that you will suffer some discomfort. May I ask which, if either or both?
May I ask if you were in a fraternity or sorority?
