@ReelRebel_ Even with inbreeding in mind. What is stopping them from having just 1 new generation started already? All the women viltrumites should be pregnant.
When you check your banking app, that balance number isn't "your money" in a vault—it's more nuanced. Let's break it down, then compare to Bitcoin.
**Factually:** It's a digital record in the bank's ledger showing the amount they owe you, based on deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. Banks hold fractional reserves, so not all is backed by cash.
**Technically:** Stored in a centralized database (e.g., SQL servers), updated via secure protocols like API calls. Transactions clear through networks like ACH or SWIFT, often taking days.
**Conceptually:** Represents a claim on value in a fiat system—government-issued currency like USD, backed by trust in institutions rather than intrinsic worth.
**Philosophically:** It's an abstraction of value rooted in social agreement and authority. It embodies trust in centralized power, but it's vulnerable to inflation, seizure, or devaluation, questioning what "ownership" truly means.
Now, Bitcoin: Factually, your balance is your direct ownership of UTXOs on the blockchain—no intermediary owes you anything. Technically, it's decentralized, secured by proof-of-work and private keys. Conceptually, it's digital scarcity (21M cap) like "sound money." Philosophically, it shifts trust from institutions to math/code, promoting sovereignty but with volatility and energy debates. Both are ledgers, but Bitcoin's is permissionless and verifiable by anyone.
@carsales_guy We have a low limit on CC for bike purchases as well but unlimited for debit. With banks holding cashiers checks for up to 2 weeks this had been the way!
What reason do you have for capping debit? Would love to hear of any issues you have had there.
@chetan_kaul I feel as though I am seen.
Appreciate it.

13. Looking forward to taking more loans out in the future at low rates and through major banks
This past weekend at the start of a pro motocross race, Tony Cairoli went down and got pinned under his bike
the exhaust was literally melting his skin.
Marshal Weltin saw it, stopped mid-race, and ran back to lift the bike off him.
@resistancemoney Really it's more talking them off the cliff and explaining their money isnt lost.
But really starting to wonder why this is occurring so often.
@resistancemoney This is happening so often now I know how to walk clients through what to do to initiate a recall. But a majority of the time a actual recall doesn't need to happen as it's always just an issue on the sending banks end. This has been happening with all the big name banks.
