@Austen This “Universal Basic ownership” or whatever they want to call it is ridiculous even if it weren’t a radical pipe dream.
It doesn’t solve the problem people will face. Namely, paying their bills.
Threadguy explains why if you've never used Hyperliquid it's easy to be bearish on it and compares it to the Solana mistake from last cycle
"If you never used Solana in 2024 you could have easily convinced yourself to be bullish on some other performance chain. Avax, whatever, they all did terrible. Solana mogged all of them. From the same lens, if you've never used Hyperliquid, it would be very easy to convince yourself that Coinbase or Robinhood is just gonna eat their lunch or that the product isn't that good or it's niche. It's very easy to make the same mistake if you've never used it as you could have made if you never used Solana in '24."
"After using Hyperliquid every day for a year, I open up a brokerage account and try to trade on Robinhood and I'm like what the fuck is this? This is terrible. It's a product game. Robinhood won retail options because the product was so good, so smooth, so easy to use. I get on Hyperliquid for a month and Robinhood feels like garbage compared to it."
"Think about how much money exists offshore that can't trade US equities that can now trade US equities on Hyperliquid. The only way you look at this price action and say all crypto sucks, this is a fake pump, is if you've never used the product."
@_CryMiaRiver@peterboghossian Yall are going to believe what type of charity “The Eunuch Maker” was a part of…
Who am I kidding? Of course you will. It’s the obvious answer
@drterrysimpson Again with this argument?!?
You are arguing that black applicants are 29x better and more well rounded than their Asian counterparts with equal or better grades?
Why are you so willing to be racist against whites and Asians?
@AllTheFauxbias@drterrysimpson Exactly. Blacks have 29x better extracurriculars and soft skills than academically elite Asians who prepared their whole life for med school
@TheBladeRunner4@drterrysimpson Exactly! He’s certainly intelligent enough to know this. He just doesn’t care and is doing mental gymnastics to defend racism.
Or he’s a racist against Asians and actually thinks they have no skills besides test taking
@drterrysimpson Superstars in every way other than their scores. So much so that when stacked up against Asians who performed significantly better on every objective measure, they’re an order of magnitude more likely to get interviewed and accepted.
@drterrysimpson Your argument here is the black applicants are 29x better at the soft skills than Asians.
That’s what you’re saying. The top percentile Asians who have prepared their whole lives for med school are somehow one dimensional applicants while the black students are superstars
@bolshoiparen@JeffAnderson_ This is the core of it all. Everyone trying to intellectualize and justify it cannot reconcile with this single fact.
Sure, test scores arent everything. Nobody is arguing that
But you mean to tell me that Asians are 29x less likely to have the other skills???
@drterrysimpson You keep making this argument. What you’re really saying is that at a given MCAT and SAT you feel that Asian students are somehow 29x less likely to be good doctors than blacks.
This is ridiculous on its face.
