My explanation is I don't take any remark as a literally as you do, especially in a disingenuous fashion meant to further a political argument. Ex. Ball player says, "we're going to kill 'em tomorrow". You: "om

lol, I've listened to tons of Saylor interviews. Do I have to to search through them all to give you soundbites of him saying less extreme advice like "invest an amount your comfortable with" (which is an actual quote.) Does

Its fascinating to me people take what he says literally, probably because they need to argue against proponents of the things they hate. If you ever watch any of his interviews he rationally examines monetary policy and his reasons for lik

Are you trying to argue that transaction capacity is the most important metric? If so, then you don't want Bitcoin. You can use Paypal. However if you want to own an asset that can't be debased by central banks, where your transac

If POS works, it can be implemented on Bitcoin. Yes, but can you convince the hardcore PoW maximalists to join your fork? IMO Bitcoin is doing its best to be a raw, pseudo-physical element. That means immutability, costs rooted in the ph

I once worked at a startup which had put together a binder of documents, declaring the company's vision, values, principles, etc. They strongly suggested new hires go through it at least briefly. I don't think anyone ever did.

Publicly listed companies are equally available opportunities for anyone participating in the contribution rate-limited game of Roth IRA maximization. Private share contributions give huge asymmetric upside to private investors/founder

Not technically a fed responsibility. Taxation and spending is fiscal policy. The fed can affect money supply by raising interest rates.

Inflation is absolutely a "bad" thing in the same way that gaining weight from eating ice cream is "bad". It is the consequence of indulgence. An increase in the cost of living is generally never a "good" thing

One problem with this that now you need expertise in building a cheap, high quality school. And how do you know your product (education) will be better than competing products? And by what metric do you compare the effectiveness of your sch

Feds raise the interest rate to reduce money in circulation, so it is.

Ironically, the only times I've wired money internationally was so I could deposit fiat to a crypto exchange. Canada to Japan, Canada to Poland. Each time it takes more than 2 weeks to arrive or be accessible in my account. Whenever I

So blockchains aren't fundamentally decentralized, permissionless, censorship resistant networks, and you've found a secret issue that will cause an unraveling of the protocol? If not, then maybe just step back and observe the cha

Every week, every month, every year, crypto is alleged to be dead and dying. And still the adoption, usage, and price goes up. It gets hyped, it falters, people stop talking for a while, and the cycle repeats itself.

It doesn't have to be so comprehensive. You can incentivize green coin without making it the baseline standard. Ex: You sold some coin on an exchange for USD? If you can show the coin's origin, you get capital gain credit or somet

You can't control everything. The west already scrutinizes many commodities it imports: diamonds, gold, shoes, phones. There's no reason to suggest bitcoin mining sources can't be discriminated against. So at scale, damage is
