It's a business with heavy incentives to publish bad data that helps their business instead of the traditional credit card/loan/mortgage landscape. Which is true, the credit cards, loans, mortgages fiat landscape fucking sucks. But their incentives are aligned with creating bad data.
No, 60% of Americans aren't "living paycheck to paycheck".

We're in the realm of wild speculation here. But if I had to bet: the first lifeform will be fragile. Die on slight heat changes, not survive a trip off their planet and easily die in any kind of meteor scenario. But as I sad - it's a wild guess out of the blue.

So some kind of Panspermia theory.
I like Panspermia to speculate/fantasize about. But if we're being honest the evidence for it is ultra thin. It's more a fun concept for fiction than an actual reasonable theory.

Orange man is a symptom of a desire for revenge. There is no denying it, is there.

If the US is heading into banarepublic with oligarchs anyway... you might just as well lean right into it

What it they are just a different species? Like ants?
Yeah. If I had to bet what the first extraterrestrial species we will find will be. Probably a primitive form of moss. Or a weirdo bacteria.

You think we can just throw a few people into the wilderness of whatever habitable planet and will get an adapted human ethnicity out of it after 1000 years?

lmao. Imagine that happened to the fed.
(The consequences would be small due to double-entry-bookkeeping and backups. But the headlines would be so funny)

I'm a big fan of /random
SN is a treasure trove of backcatalog of content. My only suspicion is that usage of random is a low usage feature.
47 sats \ 2 replies \ @tomlaies 1 Dec \ on: Asset Classes: BTC is killing it (again) charts_and_numbers
I don't care about this anymore. At all. And you (as bitcoiners) shouldn't either.
The only thing that counts is adoption. Adoption in number of human buyers with Bitcoin, adoption i number of sellers for Bitcoin, etc.
It's the only thing that counts, everything else is irrelevant now.

That's not an opinion, you just have never met an alcohol addict. They have actual cravings for alcohol. You know - like an addiction, like the actual dictionary definition of the word.
40 sats \ 0 replies \ @tomlaies 1 Dec \ on: Are you planning to gift BTC as a Christmas present? bitcoin
  • Gifting money is weird. Giftcards are a copout gift. Fiat money is a weird gift. Actual real money is a weird gift. If you care about your loved ones put some goddamn effort in and make a real gift or do nothing.
  • On the other hand it seems to be a successful method for orangepilling. I don't understand why but from hearsay it sounds like it's true

I'm not a fan of our current financial system but Andreessen told pretty blatant lies here. Even very simple factuals.
