So cryptocurrencies are like Enron? Too big to fail? Too useful? Too what? Can I interest you in a Venezuelan bolivar fuerte. There are 30,000,000+ people vested in it. There are billions of USD worth of them out in the world. What could po

Were you around a few years back to see real estate values drop from $300K to $25K? I saw that. And we are talking about a physical property. $25K is not zero, but it would be hard to distinguish the effective difference if you're leve

Just as a thought experiment, imagine a line of 20 vehicles all traveling at a safe distance going the exact same speed--the legal maximum limit. Does this sound like a utopia to you, or a nightmare? Do you think this would make traffic mor

Define 'breach'. Did Equifax obtain information about me via a breach? Show me where in my mortgage contract I gave the bank permission to disclose anything to Equifax. Show me any agreement with my employer that authorizes them t
