LOL, numerous listed stocks are way more illiquid than bitcoin.

So, do you mean that the less wealthy people don't go for rent-seeking etc? That's just bollocks. The system rewards innovation, not just that consistently and probably not that much. And people in all income classes behave the sa

People take care of their cars only to a level where it makes economic sense. Same applies for bikes. There's plenty of badly treated cars everywhere.

Not in that sense. But one open sourcing I was witnessing revealed other sensitive information (credentials), and resulted in a huge losses to the company.

I could be intelligent enough to set up sone structures, but I would rather spend my time somehow else than thinking and planning taxes.

I have been using python2 for veey long time and a lot of software that I've written is made with it and is providing consistingly value to me. I have no idea why these people want to kill the technology that has brought so much value

How so? What are the problems caused by btc?

by repomies6999 9y ago
While I don't regret it, last experiences with open source probably made me to not do it again. Essentially people seemed to assume that if I release a project, it also means that I'm require to provide free support for it, etc. T

So if the guy had ran a monero exchange he wouldn't have been arrested, I guess?
