So, the economic situation might end up pretty dire if the following is correct. I'm posting this line-of-thought in case someone wants to sanity check it.... How much stock do you put in the concept of only taking advice from people that have the kind of life or [insert x quality/trait] that you also want?... - onBitcoin is now synthetically created, through options, derivatives, & ETF. Does that mean it’s endless, just like all the US dollars?bylaymanpascal...
Both bitcoin and fiat currencies can be quantitatively expanded under the right conditions. The real constraint is the threshold beyond which the value and utility cease to be engaging to users. For many reasons, bitcoin is not the magic vessel that many believe in...... Yes! Absolutely. It's a network of issues. My gut reaction is that the bigger problem in our healthcare system is inflated prices, including pharmaceuticals. In college, I took a financial statements course.... some bits i want to highlight, as a fellow bitcoin enthusiast: Everything else in ""crypto"" besides Bitcoin is at best, a startup with a yet-to-be-proven use case and in most cases more like a scam.... - johnky...

What happens when it costs $87,000 to “mine” a Bitcoin which is only worth only $66,000? We’re about to find out . . .
Gold and Bitcoin. So different, yet so alike. A hedge against inflation. Expensive to mine. Limited supply. But wait, is that last part really true? Gold mining virtually stopped when the price of bullion was at $1,800 a few years ago.... - Kat66...

Hello!

Within 1-3 years, I suspect that it would make sense to use an AI rather than pay a human to do things like: program a computer think through maths or science problems And with less likliehood: be a therapist or coach who isn’t operating in the top 10% answer 90% of accounting... Washington Just Turned the Dollar Into a Weapon
Washington can isolate a country from the dollar system. Iran just showed what that looks like. Central banks have been buying gold anyway. Watch why cash is the asset that is guaranteed to shrink. Your dollars still spend. They just buy less every year.... - Joe Malgeri...

I have never been satisfied with accepting things simply because they are popular or because someone in authority says they are true. I ask questions, I look for evidence, and I try to understand what is really happening beneath the surface. I would rather spend time researching an issue than repeat someone else's opinion.bySassiebrat67...

Donald Trump has launched hundreds of entities over his career, and while a definitive single number is highly debated, analyses such as an investigation by the New York Times track dozens of high-profile product lines, branding efforts, and corporate bankruptcies.Many of these... - Aaron Oakley...
If you want to be real for a moment, you'd recognize that no one has "a trillion dollars." You're conflating wealth and currency. I assume this question was sparked by Elon Musk's most recent wealth valuation, but you're pretending Musk is hoarding a mountain of $100 bills in a...
