Interesting. If that’s the interpretation I think i need to contribute elsewhere. I can’t trust that I’m not seeing other important perspectives here.

One of my flagged comments is “At what age would you support them?”

Many reasonable and civil comments I and others made earlier today are being flagged. Whats going on?

No. My argument is that bond defaulting is a legal status. Not a server outage. And that we are getting into larp territory with no evidence they are tampering with bonds.

Is that what the economic community is saying will happen? Would you listen to me if you found out I had one?

I think you’re having a bad day, and I recommend taking a break. I will not be engaging with your comments.

I dont see what evidence would be sufficient to appease you on any of these. I think you mistook an interpretive comment expressing the meaning and value of events. I think the “middle school” comment is childish, and I think you regularly

What claims do you think needed some extra evidence in that parageaph?

Just to get technical here, you think the US bond credit rating is based on whether a cron job runs in time? And your fear is they will break the cron and won’t be able to fix the script?

I don’t believe all of those are from SOX. > I specifically meant You didn’t leave the comment. Was that your alt account?

Did they stop social security, Medicare, or Medicare? What will happen when I pay federal taxes?

It sounds like you think SOX auditing means “super secure and careful accounting”. SOX is a specific law with the motivation of giving markets more confidence in public stocks (for example must hire external auditors, certain board member r

Are they making new accounting records?

It’s week 2. I think they will have time to go after those big orgs. But also you’re missing an important theme of the administration. Foreign aid doesn’t go to Americans. Social security and Medicare do. Trump didn’t run a tea party platfo

If you’re arguing that people would think harder about their purchases and frivolous spending would decline. I agree. And I think that’s a benefits If you’re asking if people would not use their deflating currency to buy lattes and sneakers

But you’re wrong. People sell S&P and BTC everyday even if they aren’t dying. This is time value of money. If I wait 20 years instead of buying a house, I can have more money. But that’s 20 years of my life I didn’t live in the house I

It’s certainly not typical - he just minmaxed the credentials to get into the top bracket. Just unfortunate that the resources are going there.

by liontwist 2y ago
The utility of the money is in how you spend it. Your same question could be asked about the S&P. Why would anyone sell? Well at some point in your life you want to use the money to accomplish your life goals

by liontwist 2y ago
Ok. But my point is many of the comments are attacking the idea of a stable currency - not btc.

by liontwist 2y ago
I don’t own any btc. But I’m wondering why there is so much FUD about currency that doesn’t inflate.
