I should have said "the derivatives in question" instead of simply "derivatives". My point stands: OP claimed that most trading volume happens in securities and it simply does not. I highly doubt securities amount to mor

Correct. And this case hinges on the yet undecided question as to whether or not Bitcoin and numerous other cryptocurrencies are actually securities.

From the CFTC's official website: "The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is an independent U.S. government agency that regulates the U.S. derivatives markets, including futures, options, and swaps." Also from their officia

Derivatives are governed by the CFTC not the SEC. It does matter, because they aren't doing anything wrong if these crypto assets are considered commodities and not securities. Also, just because a government agency is suing you, that

Why not? It is highly litigated and still abundantly unclear whether certain cryptocurrencies are securities or commodities. That's the whole point of these legal battles. If it was clear, they would not be ongoing.

The vast majority of arbitrage of fungible assets happens in commodities, not securities. The SEC regulates securities. The CFTC regulates commodities.

That's theatrics. Everyone on Wall Street and Main Street knows the true cost of living — housing, gas, and grocery prices — has increased dramatically more than any Fed-anointed number with the word "inflation" near it.

Inflation far outpaces whatever "fat interest" rates you have on your savings. You need to hold real assets, not fiat currency.

In Russian, работа simply means "work" or "job" without any negative connotation.

I think OP's point about it being faster and cheaper stands. What exactly are you trying to say?
13.
by siftrics 3y ago
Energy will continue to get cheaper and less scarce over the long term. This is a bad argument.

Why'd you buy it in the first place if your only perception of its value is to use it to buy something else? Why not just buy the thing you wanted to buy?

> contrary to fiat cryptocurrencies, called "cryptos" This is wrong. No one says this.

You can do extremely complicated things on chain that require manual human analysis to figure out how to report it. You can do this thousands of times per year. It adds up to a huge amount of work.

That's so evil. How do you put up with that? Why don't Danes change their obviously evil tax code regarding deducting losses?

You have to have a pretty helpless attitude to blame someone else (teachers) on your inability to learn from a good textbook. How are you ever going to learn anything truly novel in the world if you always delegate teaching to a teacher?

Yes and the most well-known historical cases involved diethylene glycol, not lead. But lead is used, too.

Without commenting on how likely it is the hypothesis is true, the lead-crime hypothesis has always been academic handwaving to make a different, political point.

Front speakers and microphone are lost. Bluetooth audio still works. I can still stream music over Bluetooth.

> In that context you only give the shills more sway. This is a really good point that I overlooked. I'm in an industry where sophisticated participants can see the blatant scams, but laypeople have no chance at spotting them. Your

I've always been a fan of this. If RoundUp is so safe, why don't the execs and lawyers and shills all douse themselves in it? It'd prove their alleged point against the guy who got horrible lesions and cancer all over his bod

Ironically, it seems that this only happens when you are within service. Another commenter speculated that when you're out of service, the software correctly identifies that there is no tower to connect to and stops trying. But when yo

I feel like this is it. I camped hundreds of days in areas with no service for miles and never had this problem. My battery ended up dying in my driveway in town.

I can back this up. I regularly go car camping in the middle of nowhere in the Rockies. Absolutely no service for miles. I hadn't gone camping for ~4-5 weeks, but still drove my car every day. Suddenly had the battery issue, pulled the

There are huge swaths of areas with no service in the US that people regularly visit.

Mine's a 2019 and pulling the DCM fuse resolved my problems. Could be unrelated, but I feel obligated to share.

Yeah this was actually pretty scary for me because I do go car camping in very remote places with no service at all. Luckily I'm fully prepared for my car not being able to start. It's just sad because I bought a Subaru because
