This is actually known as the Drowning Child problem, and its most important implication is that any billionaire is "extremely evil." The parent comment would still be correct though, and billionaires are just filling a power vacu

Then I certainly feel confused & may be wrong. --- Edit: You're near-certainly right that pegging in dollars would means some rate, let's for simplicity presume a constant ratio, between dollars and what it's begged to. I

It's a bidirectional relationship. The value of gold actually remained stable when the U.S. dollar was pegged to it. I view that as evidence for pegging stabilizing the value of the commodity it is pegged to. However is an simplificati

You're right. How can any state with nuke-backed right to issue ultimatums slowly get weakened like that? If Russia states limits, and convinces U.S. that they will launch if the limits are crossed, and these limits are within the thre

If you can always move to smaller denominations, deflation would not be an issue: If the price of an apple at t_0 is $2 and (using arbitrary symbol for the other currency) §2, and at t_1 $20=§2, then at t_1 citiziens in the nation using § a

Did it ever fluctuate like that when it was pegged?

If oil is cheap energy, and you cut down oil revenue, how do you prevent Russia from turning oil into cryptocurrency?

The distinction between government and crypto currencies is wrong one to make. I fail to see how gold-pegged, gasselized (demurraged at constant rate until they vanish down to UBI limit, except from government/CB wallets, with other as

My grandparent used consider global bubbles as the norm, likely because his own parents never told him that local, company-limited bubble are actually the norm. Fortunately my own parents are more agreeable with how I manage my finances, an

I don't live in Germany but hate internet banking and de-letterization and other "digitalization" because it's first step in erosion of rights. The second step is forbidding the offline version.

For clarity, I don't consider anything mentioned even practically feasible or relevant. I mentally tripped over by forgetting that if stock costs 500 + [0,10] (where it fluctuates) normally, you must in order to participate even withou

That's why you keep it offline at all times! And for calls use something dumb & leave that at home.

Oh yeah, I think in my head I confuse the size of the bet with the size of the ranges where it could be claimed to frequently cross the line between sell or buy (which I proposed would be what is most frequently crossed over), but in normal

Can you not use this information of it being closed for high frequency trading? Also I have pondered, to put it very simply, why wouldn't it be profitable, since the markets fluctuate, to gamble small amounts constantly at where they m

Even with all the social & economical issues within & outside of the U.S., they should in my view occupy the power vacuum for the time being. The real issue is then not that U.S. is evil, but that you cannot both be the tyrant playi

Not so if you EMI tape the GOS phone case, disable USB-C except for charging, use second profile to encrypt your actual data so you can attest before decrypting, and keep it turned off and in aeroplane mode when not in use. See my comments.
