17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.
@SenateDems could learn something from that.
70% of Americans can’t afford a median home. Why?
Broken money forced people to use real estate as savings, making homes unaffordable. Houses aren’t savings accounts, they’re meant to be lived in.
#Bitcoin demonetizes housing, drives prices down and puts families back in homes.
i’d argue you’re too easily moved by the choice words. “privilege” and “equality” are selected because they confuse the notion of fairness. another way to frame his statement “if you’re accustomed to succeeding due to hard work, ingenuity, risk/sacrifice, and, sure, some amount of luck, having the outcomes reset so that everyone is rewarded more equally feels unfair.”
is succeeding after making good choices, sacrificing personally, and working hard really “privilege”?
is it oppressive that everyone doesn’t get to the same place?
perhaps the real oppression is the loss of individual liberties when naively egalitarian philosophies mutate into marxism, denying opportunities for individual sacrifice, effort, and achievement to be rewarded.
framed as privilege v equality misses the mark.. equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are v different things. silicon valley’s most successful are the immigrants who found america as one of the only places on earth where an individual with zero baseline privilege can struggle and sacrifice and effortfully succeed. calling them privileged after the fact seems hardly the point. but an easy one to make.
Why do lebron fans think Jordan didn’t win without Pippen is a gotcha ….

The last time I gave money to a clean water fund was via the FTX Foundation.
I donated nearly $200K in April of 2021.
They offered me a tax receipt later that year for the donation. When I received it, I saw that it was from a group called “Arabella Advisors”. This sounded weird to me, so I looked it up and discovered that Arabella was the largest dark money donation vehicle for the left wing.
Aka it was another channel FTX used to donate user funds to the Democratic Party without any proper disclosures. Who knows how much extra $ they funneled through Arabella that can’t be easily tracked.
They got around this by having the front for their charities be titled something like “Clean Water” or “Green Earth” but when you really dive into those sites they were actually just political lobbying groups that were supposed to support those causes via different lobbying initiatives.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The triangle offense was basketball with PURPOSE, the Bulls and Lakers had counters to everything the defense did. It was a game of chess for them.
But this type of offense sacrifices stats for Kobe and Jordan since they are not creating all the plays and getting assists. Even though it’s their amazing scoring threat that directly opens up all the shots for everyone else, it didn’t show up on the boxscore.
To the untrained eye who just looks at the boxscore, it will make you think LeBron is an AMAZING playmaker, but in reality Bron has never played in a true system. He has been the system, because thats the only way he knows how to play. He plays ACCIDENTAL basketball and drives and kicks all game to rack up assists. But this is not WINNING basketball. It is very predictable and usually results in Bron getting locked up come playoff time. This type of basketball is low level hoops, kids in the playgrounds play like that.
So next time some idiot on this app says, “Jordan and Kobe were not good playmakers”- show them this video. If Kobe and Jordan had the ball on top of the 3 EVERY possession and drove and kicked all game they would average a triple double. But they wouldn’t win..
They chose winning over cheap stat padding ✌🏻
