The speculation driven movement of the BTC cannot be compared to the speculation on the USD or any other currency. 0.01% and 50000% are all percentages, but the number is so different as to completely change what we are talking about. >

But they have already solved the engineering problems (at least 10 years ago). They already have "qbits". The interface issues look to be 98% solved. And the temperature cooling, the EM shielding, and everything else (that is outs

I've been following quantum computing since D-Wave made its press release some years back. Now I'm a complete skeptic. The huge red flag I can't get over is if it is as so, why can no one validate it after all this time? Why

That makes sense. Ironically though, just as another anecdote (and to the best of my knowledge), the very first "fake news" right-wing site who's operator was confronted, ended up being a left-voting liberal who [paraphrasing

Also the giant monolith/megalith structures in Russia are out of this world. Personally I think some of the footage and pictures of them are more impressive than the pyramids. The size of the blocks compared to a human is just incredib

You've named all people who could be removed just as easily as they where placed into power. That is not a dictatorship. I'll provide an example - Saddam Hussein was a dictator... He had the power/authority, ability, and the

Name 1 dictator after the Stalin? I lived there before the collapse. It was a communist state. With centralized planning. And all the waste that goes with it. After Stalin, the Soviet Union had several levels of "above president"

That is more or less the main way the media in the US, the EU, and some other world regions, is operating right now. For each major story, they remove all the real details, even the context, and just present you with a well crafted narrativ
