lol yes absolutely they are. Yes the government is allowing legal scams. Yes scammers win lawsuits. Yes congress supports scams. A government stamp doesn’t make trusting some corporate CEO a good idea; it just means they paid the bribes.
“Blue chips” typically perform well, especially relative to their risk. You’ve got all the risks of Bitcoin, plus trust in a central party that needs government permission.
Why would a vendor prefer that over centralized DRM that customers tolerate anyways?
Bitcoin is currently at all time highs
There are decentralized oracles. That’s how DAI tracks the price of USD.
The “next Bitcoin” has just been Bitcoin every time. Right now is its umpteenth bubble.
Solana and Ethereum are both centralized scams that have been going down vs Bitcoin for the last year, despite the bull market.
Count your blessings, my wife is still a Harry Potter fan and got our kids into it. It’s a huge ideological divide between us.
It could happen tomorrow. I would still initially react with “holy shit look at the sky”.
If Betelgeuse goes supernova tomorrow, I wouldn’t believe my eyes either.
If corporate social media can be used to fuck up the world so horribly, then imagine what we can build now that we have p2p social media. Everybody is mad and should be mad. But we’re easy to manipulate. We need to adapt how humans obtain and process information, and numerous p2p apps have demonstrated limits to corporate power.
New ways to communicate and coordinate are a really big deal. We’re a tremendously productive species whose time is mostly being wasted. With what might seem like minor tweaks to our society, we can build this picture.
Wait that part wasn’t sarcastic?
The cheat code is unionization.

Are you sure you’re not a scatterbrain from undiagnosed ADHD that you’ve been self-medicating with the weed?
What’s wrong with edibles?
Dammit this story is fake. I was hoping she had succeeded.
Commute friends are great. You’ve got a pleasant conversation for the ride, and another source of information when your ride is canceled.
You forgot to strawmanify the second to last sentence - it should be “we each voted for a good candidate”.
Nice try, physicists.
Engineer here, I always just use pi and a “safety factor” multiplier. Extra material is expensive, and I want the cheapest part (like a screw) to fail first. We don’t just oversimplify pi because half the time it’ll make your design weaker.
(If I just got whooshed I apologize)
That it’s currently happening and belief that it’s a scam is going down.
