Scott Adams gives solid words of wisdom after revealing his cancer diagnosis.
"I realize that for some of you, this is hitting you hard because you're hearing it for the first time."
"I have to say that everybody has to die, as far as I know. And it's kind of civilized that you know about how long you have, so you can put your affairs together and make sure you've said your goodbyes and done all the things you need to do."
"This [cancer] is really painful. Like, really, really painful. But it's also kind of good that it gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things up."
"I can see in the comments that some of you are having a tough time with it, but remember ... nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts forever."
A common fallacy I see is people believing broken money is the reason for society's ills and that changing the money will fix the root problems. This is a fundamentally incomplete view of history, which has endured the same outcomes again and again despite a wide array of monetary systems. It assigns causality to the wrong forces. Any standard is only as good as the compliance of the states participating in it. History is quite clear that no form of money can prevent greed, short sightedness, and states' desires to wage war from superseding the discipline imposed by hard money. Individuals can prudently insulate themselves from risks by owning outside assets like gold or Bitcoin, but "fix the money fix the world" is a faulty premise that instills a false hope.
The arrest of @Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. It lowers not only France, but the world.
This is a heat map of #ALT / #BTC pairs over the last 1 year.
Out of the top 200 coins, only 39 have outperformed BTC.
Congrats if you picked one that outperformed, but you can see that most have bled back to the king.
I am a data guy.
When Biden says inflation is largely Putin's fault, this is wrong.
More money was printed with infinite QE than EVER before.
With an ongoing supply crisis, pandemic woes, & aggressive monetary policy, inflation is not Putin's fault.
It is wrong to say so.
