Suspect valuations are the concern here IMO. This would be a big red flag for me, while the culture shock would be a distant second.

Sure it would be nice to have other options, but the reality of social media and group-think means they could really only say nothing or say everything. I don't like it, but to deny that is a dangerous gamble for any company.

As a sober addict I really can't comprehend the "flavor" of addiction the author describes. Most of my addict friends and acquaintances either worked at sobriety or died from using. Actually most died.
If someone can just stop, most would simply say the person wasn't actually an addict.

Silly, but I think still generally more useful that the people who seriously use the term "disrupt" when talking about their big ideas.

This is incredibly disturbing. Police in the US are becoming increasingly violent, even while violent crime is falling.

The construction/real estate bubble in China is not long for this world. China might have used a lot of a commodity/product, but we should be careful in believing that is an equivalent 1:1 economic comparison.

So many schools seem to "teach only towards the test" because of the heavy reliance on standardized testing. I don't claim to have any answers, but society has pushed for this and it's a logical result IMO.

IMO much of the content from Fool and Seeking Alpha is just as empty. Especially with clickbait like that title.

Mandatory backup cameras, presidential kill lists, uncontrolled spying, & mandatory corporate welfare. Glad we have our priorities straight America.

Yeah, I always find it funny how the generation(s) which "control" the current job market love to blame joblessness on the generation newly entering that job market. Macroeconomics gonna macro.

Re:Greenspan Says Bitcoin a Bubble Without Intrinsic Currency Value

I wouldn't be so sure. The Fed is the root cause of almost all the bubbles we've seen in US markets.
As for Bitcoin he might be right, but I want to hear his opinions on economics about as much as I want to hear Obama's opinions on drone strikes.
