@chamath There must be a place of compromise here. & if not directly from the “220 billionaires,” then the tech-titan corps of the bay *should* be able to peel off enough of a monthly fund that gets put into these social helper buckets. this seems the more sensible & sustainable move.
@wbmosler@DanCollins2011 *could* allow. I defer to you but seemingly true decoupling would only happen if China abolished the every-single-morning fixing mechanism & capital controls, allowing the market to set the price entirely—something they have yet to ever do in the history of the 2 nations.
@martypartymusic i have to laugh. so tru. im getting burned by Solana the exact same way as the last time i thought it 'was time to buy Sol.' SMH. Oh well.
@CJKonstantinos saw u on David Lin’s podcast aWhile ago. Very Interesting! I would likely give the peoples reserve mortgage product a try, If California would Allow it that is. but BTC borrow/lend seemingly isnt allowed here yet. Is there Any breaking news about this?
Again - I would take my bitter medicine if there was ANY signage saying 'tow away,' 'do not park after 6pm on game days,' or anything of the sort. There is not. No phone # clearly marked either.
@SFMTA_Muni $1.50 in the meter on Terry A. Francois for 3 hrs of parking.
$300 spent at Mission Rock eating, drinking and being merry.
$1200 for warriors tickets.
$800 spent inside chase center for food and drink.
I come outside only to find my vehicle towed. No warning signs.
No 'do not park here,' or 'tow away zone' or anything of the sort. $657.00 to get my work vehicle out of impound. Egregious is an understatement. Why Is this how you intentionally treat people? What about guests to the city? In what world is this seen as 'normal' or ok?
@wbmosler@WayneVaughan Hi Warren. My mother in STX just put me on your MMT white paper. good stuff! But I’ll take a stab at how BTC is breaking the monopoly:
BTCs decentralized nature, no authority to rule over it.
BTCs limited supply.
Borderless trnsactions.
Potential for Financial freedom.
@PacificBitcoin it was 2017. Met Wences Casares as a potential client. Then met one of his early Xapo hires. Listened to random YouTube talkers though can’t remember who. Saifedean Ammous, Brian Armstrong, The Winklevii! I 1st denied BTC, Then ridiculed. Then bought. All in short order!
@chamath Glad to see this post. ‘Golden handcuffs’ trapping existing homeowners. The current high rates, exorbitantly higher mortgages AND lack of inventory are sidelining majority of hopeful buyers.
Also to be noted, when rates were this high previously…homes cost wayyy less.
@USVIDPW@govhouseusvi @usvirginislands @USVISenate the fix for bad roads can be a lot cheaper than the “$1million per mile” talk everyone has heard thrown about. Some good food for thought here….
