Apple is not a private entity, its publicly traded company that has a monopoly.

We are living in a state of monopoly and EU laws agree with that. How can you then throw away freedom of speech! Just cause the goons on this forum are pissed, doesn't mean that guy should be banned. 48% of population voted for trump!

The only thing rubbish here is blatant disregard for freedom of speech (Didn't really expect anything different from the fools here). There are platforms that are monopoly and they control free speech at this point.

Do companies write checks to plumbers of $100,000. No they don't, cause they don't deserve (intelligence required for the work they do) and the supply is abundant. Why can't western developers accept basic economics and move on to greener pastures.

Well then the buyer and seller would race to gain 51% of mining power (as its free) which will make it more expensive because of the constant biding war.

Top miners can short twice as many BTC futures to create one last profitable destruction.

if multiple accounts send multiple small payments (controlled by the same guy), then the exchange wont wait as long for the confirmations.

can you explain this in better words: "then it would always make sense to rent 51% of the capacity at market rates, earn the transaction fees, and also perform a double-spending attack."

you can split the payment to multiple small amounts.

"Average price data for select utility, automotive fuel, and food items are also available."
All of these are commodities. And every single product derived is based on commodity. Most commodities can be traded on commodity markets.

Govt inflation numbers represent a portfolio consisting of all commodities in equal quantity. But if you hold a portfolio of iPhones, Toyotas, and etc (assuming they are non depreciating assets) that number would double very easily.

This can easily be done on CME futures market, we don't need dharma for this. Futures can be used in multiple ways to swap inherent volatility with a fixed stream of return.

Why weren't these points raised for gold & diamond mining through out human civilization. Africans have been killed ruthlessly for diamonds and our so called "smart users" of HN can't seem to see eye to eye on these points. Cause they missed out on BTC! and now they hate it.

What about the fact, that he paid from his own shareholding of the company, and the company investors didn't end up paying for it. The bigger point every one is missing is, he got a 800% increase from the average sentence. That IS NOT FAIR!!

"Nothing unethical was done it him, he was convicted and sentenced accordingly"
Dumbfounded by your words, a 800% increase from the average sentence is, I think completely ok in a just system.
