5. Neither one is wrong. The boomer gives you stability, the millennial gives you adaptability. Which one do you trust with the future? $BTC decred:native
4. Heโs also got the newer toolkit. Because ticket holders vote upgrades in, Decred can adopt new tech without years of fighting, while the Bitcoin boomer is still arguing about whether to get a smartphone, or ANY change for that matter.
Just spent 30 minutes at Target and now I'm really feeling this rant:
"The recluse... is now being proven right... because how many times do you leave your house and... you go, I don't need to be here. This was a mistake"
"You see someone filming a pork chop, and you go, I don't need to be here. I'd rather be home"
"What's coming is we're going to live in a world where people are voluntarily taking themselves out of society, walling themselves off in whatever place they can be and not going out as much. And they're going to be hermits. And it's going to be justified"

Buying a new car is an act of philanthropy.
Rory Sutherland made the case on the Alex O'Connor's podcast: when you buy a shiny new luxury vehicle, you take the massive depreciation hit so someone much poorer than you can drive essentially the same car a few years later for half the price.
Same goes for iPhones, computers, watches โ anything. The rich buy it first, absorb the biggest loss, and everyone else gets the upgraded version later at a steep discount.
His takeaway: we should probably build statues to people who buy things new. Theyโre quietly subsidizing the rest of society.
Have you ever thought about the fact that buying new is basically philanthropy for the second-hand market โ or does that idea flip how you see depreciation and status?
For the past 6 years I lived in Austria and I noticed one thing:
Here itโs better to either be a broke art student and spend your days drinking cheap beer in the park or an extremely rich old money/dirty russian/arab/ukranian money oligarch hiding your wealth and sons your time in uber-expensive ski resorts
If you are hustling and building your business, expect to pay 50% of your income in taxes (like I do), feeding the insatiable local bureaucracy
You will feel grinding in an endless wheel, often demotivated by how big a percentage of your profits you just give to the state
This is the main reason Austria and other German-speaking countries have an extremely low quality of services and the general level of style and taste of businesses stuck in the 70s
It just doesnโt make economic sense to open a business here
