@FarrellAdvisor@IvanOnTech You're correct. It's simple math, really. I get that people want to hate on his 'ponzi', but it only fails if BTC does. Which it won't.
@callebtc 1. An asinine lie.
2. Furthermore, the logic here is basically, "since it's 'impossible' to 'completely prevent spam' we should make way for more spam!"
3. BTC is money, not storage space.
4. We should be LOWERING the barrier of entry for node running, not raising it.
@KRYPTTOPIA@Cointelegraph Bitcoin ATM operators will likely be categorized as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs). This would require them to register with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) and strictly enforce Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. :(
@Crypto_TownHall@PeterSchiff Get's his time in the sun every 4 years during the bottom of the bear market. He'll crawl back into his hole in a few months. Never the less, I'm still thankful for his voice in the market. He taught me a lot 20 years ago.
@MohrWom@BanklessNation The idea of pure trustlessness in all of life is not only a fantasy, but not the ideal. The hope, and likelihood, is that the economic pressure of BTC will force society to work together in innovative decentralized ways that enhance individual liberty & communal responsibility
@alaskatundraman@TimHannan I hope you realize that this is socialism. Tarrifs, protectionism, etc., are elements of the socialist scheme forwarded by Marx & the national socialists (Nazis). Controlling labor flow (i.e., controlling people) through theft (taxation) is socialism & slavery.
@anakin1138@LvivNightingale@elonmusk It's still the free market. It may be a lie, but in free markets people can freely lie if they choose to. I'm sure uber has some rules regarding reviews that would provide some recourse for the drivers.
@LvivNightingale@elonmusk Just because something happens as the result of humans acting freely (which is what a free market is) doesn't make it good. People can freely lie, but that doesn't justify their lie.
@TrashDragon06@ThomasSowell Not my rent. I'm an American. I'm for Europe paying its share NATO, but pulling out of NATO is crazy. The West needs to stand together & protect its shared values, & the US needs to lead its allies, not make them potential enemies. A fragmented West is NOT a good idea.
@Kirk31614869@ThomasSowell Fair enough, so make changes, don't exit a defense treaty that has ensures the Wests safety (including the US's safety) for 80 years. Also, NATO isn't a government. It doesn't act a government.
@TrashDragon06@ThomasSowell Article 5 is what keeps Russia from invading Europe. That's it. That and the nukes France and the UK have. Socialist autocracies respect only power and mutually assured destruction.
@KathPooleWC@ThomasSowell Not true, as an American living in Europe I can tell you that Europeans don't generally hate Americans at all. They may not respect how ignorant Americans have become, but neither do I. Europeans generally love Americans. We all bleed red, desire liberty, and reject autocracy.
@ThomasSowell Exit a defense agreement? That's all NATO is. If u want to make changes to it go ahead, but EXIT self-defense? That makes ZERO sense. It's like exiting a neighborhood watch program, or refusing to carry a weapon in self-defense. It's suicidal in the long run.
@RBINetwork@ThomasSowell This kind thinking would have made Europe either a Nazi or Commie state, & would've led to the destruction of the US in a war against Nazi, or Communist, controlled Europe. Appeasement is suicide for The US. If you let bullies run the playground they'll come after you eventually.
@DannySt62485650@NEknucklehead@elonmusk Ensuring Russia's loss in Ukraine greatly diminishes their ability, and desire, to invade another European country. Next would be Poland and the Baltic states, which would start WWIII. By stopping Putin at 🇺🇦's border we prevent WWIII.
@DannySt62485650@NEknucklehead@elonmusk 🇺🇦 is standing between 🇷🇺 and the rest of Europe, which 🇷🇺 believes it has a right to. 🇷🇺 is rebuilding the Soviet Union under The Eurasian Union. It started as The Commonwealth of Nations. Russia is planning to re-invade Europe eventually, and ultimately the US.
@DefiyantlyFree Elon Musk doesn't have this "money", the vast majority of his "wealth" is investments in his companies, and others. That wealth is at risk, fluctuating daily. It's not cash on hand. People need to take this into account and stop saying Elon has X amount of "money."
@Ksiadzu @CapitolTalk @nejustan@PeterSweden7 I dont' think you understood me, I used the word "IF"...IF they had not defense capabilities. I totally agree with you. And, yeah, I live in Poland, I know.
