I am really sorry but Wall Street usurped Bitcoin two years ago.

Bitcoin is a deflationary asset. You already have a big chunk of the float in the hands of a very very few people. If they were serious about replacing fiat, you’d come up with a currency that’s inflationary and one that tracks pace of innovation. USD derives most of if not all of its entire value from...US military. No one is going to go to war to save bitcoin. NO ONE.

I certainly don’t believe it’s good or bad. It’s more of a cultural phenomenon. US is also a cultural melting pot and they benefit a great deal from being open commercially as well.

Think one of the key advantages Japanese (and other East Asian) companies have over the US/EU counterparts is that they have very strong national sentiments. You saw this with Nissan debacle. Same with a couple of Korean companies. All the more reasons to believe that the Chinese market is simply a mirage for Western companies.

I love how all these social media companies are dumping Trump AFTER they made money off of him. This is capitalism.

I just read through the whole thing and have no idea what it says. It sounds smart but it’s pseudo-science to me.

I think this has huge potential for the education market especially in post-pandemic world where remote learning is more or less accepted.

What’s the general error rate on transcription technology at this point?

And why not? What makes you think it will improve? Specialty distribution is not something you can easily scale in a short period of time.

At current rate of vaccination in the US, it’s going to take more than a full year to get it done.

May not be a popular opinion, but Jack Ma owes his entire success to the CCP for creating the single most effective moat.
