Then please describe how our current background check works and why should someone waste a shit time of money in order to improve the thing that already works fine?
I bet that Police definetely have their own database with all gun owners and the ones that do not have a permission to have a gun. And for some reason they are not claiming that something works bad in that part.

Cryptocurrencies can't be safe by default. So buying any kind of altcoins is only increasing the risk. And if you truely believe that some shitcoin like BNB would become the next ETH (no matter if it is faster or not) then it will surely be the same situation as with the other "bitcoin killers".
He didn't show any reasoneble fundamental reason to invest in those alts. Every shitcoin have better described fundamentals in its whitepaper.
I agree about long term investments but it is far not always related to crypto. Many shitcoins that were popular back in 2017 are dead now. Seems like this long run was not on their side.

We can see absolutely the same story on the stock market. Generally bit investment funds are making about 15% in a year while  someone is just picking the other stocks and making more than 100%. Or you can even buy some penny stocks and wait until they moon (the same story as we see with shitcoins, right?). Does it mean that the ones who make 15% are stupid? Nope, they are just managing their risks so they could have small but steady profit.
So even on traditional market you can easily trade some more risky assets that would bring you more money (or losses).

What's bad in inequality? Why you all arguing that someone have more money than you?

If you got a college degree in Photography, Journalism, or even Gender Studies then you are completely right, those people are lucky to get $20 per hour.

Nah, that example is not relevant.
Most of those people are homeless because they are mentally sick and government does not provide them the necessary treatment. Later they can't socialize and unable to work so those people are losing their homes.
There is nothing about the global economy there.

The fact that you can play Angry Birds on your cellphone doesn't show us the technology development. You know why? Because there were no groundbreaking scientifical breakthroughs already for decades. Large corporations are providing better technologies but they don't make the same effect on the economy as for example had the invention of the steam engine.
Some bullshit like Snapchat right now worth millions (and sometimes this is really interesting things) but all this stuff have less effect on our lives than the invention of a calculator had before.
Tech development is not taking us anywhere now.

Ahh... I love those crypto media so much. This is how they are making their articles: Is blockchain a solution for *shuffle cards* gun violence? Seriously, just add some random bullshit from fighting the poverty to war stoppage and you are getting some fresh content for your crypto website.
in this case author of the article is claiming that blockchain would help to check the background of gun owners. But no one said that this background in its current form works bad. So they took the problem out of their head and offered a solution just to make some content.
That's bullshit.

The problem is that if you would punish every politician that can't handle with his responsibilities then it creates a risk for qualified politicians to get the same punishment. So pretty soon you will simply run out of people that wanna work there and their place would be taken by a bunch of honest retards. Or no one would be pushing any initiatives because of those risks.

Warren Buffett is also can be seen on similar shows. But it doesn't mean that he is a bad investor.

Anyway, many of those people that talk about market trends on TV don't have to be successful traders. It not always correlates with knowledge. Generally, if someone  is saying that he is making 1000% a year then it would rather be a bad trader.

USD is backed by obligation of the federal government to collect trillions of dollars in taxes from residents and companies that operate in the united states. Those money are making USD stable, not someone else's blind trust.

Sure. All those investors from TV know nothing about economics.

The problem of comparison of BTC with gold is that Bitcoin is not gold and vice versa. And this is why all those "bitcoin killer" shitcoins will never become popular. If someone made something with some shit with values that are similar to gold it doesn't mean that people have to buy it.

About statements of those guys from the quote above:
1. Saying that USD is based on belief is a pure populism and just a stupid statement.
2. This is a fair point. BTC is realy a pure speculation. Hopefully with its further growth volatility would be lower.
3. That's the problem only if you are trying to evaluate BTC the same way as people do with stocks. Maybe cryptocurrencies need some other calculation methods.

Everything depends on the thing you want to learn and the current level of your knowledge. For example if you really want to get some deep knowledge in some fields then you definitely have to read books. Scientists are writing books about topics that are described on Wikipedia with a couple of sentences. So in this case books are really more informative.
But the other thing is if you are not understanding some particular topic during your university studies then you got pretty big chances to find something simple and understandable on YouTube.

It seems like first of all they should probably sell their used miners before trying to recycle it. I bet they won't have any problems with finding a customer.
Even if some mining farms are closing it doesn't feels like they need to build a separate recycling center. It is not reasonable just because there is not that much miners tht have to be utilized there.
Everything supposed to work as it works with other electronic things.

If you need a campaign management then as it was already mentioned you can just pick one of the trusted bounty managers. It seems like they are not charging high fees nowadays.
But if under "help with announcement" you mean only ANN thread without anything else then you better do it by yourself. You just need to get a Copper Mamber rank so you could post images.
Copper Member rank announcement is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385104

Do you really think that those world leaders are a bunch of cruel villains that are only thinking about how to abuse normal people.
This is how the system generally works: people are working in different companies, then government slightly devaluates its currency to those companies could get some benefit on global market which makes the economy of the country grow. Without this benefit countries like Germany of US all industry would die and people will loose everything.
So countries are just exchanging a tiny inflation into steady economic growth.

The appearance of blockchain gave us blockchain developers? No shit! Dude, you've made a great discovery.
And what is the difference between a normal web designer and blockchain web designer? Is designing blockchain related websites somehow different from normal design? The fact that they create pictures with bitcoins doesn't make them specialists in another sphere. The same point is relevant to all other jobs you've mentioned. Maybe except blockchain devs.

Even if it happens like that exchanges would still have some arguments to legitimate their position. For example if exchange is holding big amount of cryptocurrency then it might be reasonable to hold some of those money in separate reserves due to some kind of security things.
I know nothing about cyber security but exchanges doesn't have to guarantee instant withdrawals at all times.

What stops them from creating a centralized database for education and for authentication of documents? Considering that it will be centralized in hands of "trusted" people it would still provide valid data.
Chinese government is extremely centralized. Small part of blockchain implementation is made in order to cut some costs and not supposed to make any desicion making process more pure.

If you take look from the other side it would look like this guy forced hobos in his town to hold papers with crypto addresses and payed them with donuts. At lest that's what you can think about it if you don't know the details.


But the Idea with crypto donations is pretty good and imho it should be promoted even more. People that got a decent summ of money with almost no efforts (I do not consider hodling as something hard) they are more likely to donate some part of their money to someone.

This is one of the most stupid issues in the crypto world. Somewhere in 2017 people were making different rankings with coins that are under $1. The most retarded thing was that people completely ignored its market cap and truely believed that if there is $1bln market cap with a shitcoin with couple cents price then it have more chances to x10 rather than  the same shitcoin with smaller MC.
Those cases are pretty stupid and you shouldn't try to determine any trends basing on them. So I would say that current stance of BTC is still fine.

This thing is pretty common for the other services that deal with fiat. You san have your funds on Skrill or PayPal and get your account freezed until you pass full KYC. This thing is also waiting for everyone who wants to trade forex.
There is nothing special about this until you follow their ToS. You should just remember that no one in the entire internet cares about scan of your ID. In dark web you can buy a full verification pack for about $2. If your documents had any worth they could be already stolen a dozen timed via some governmental bodies.

Just compare the political system that was in USSR with system that was in capitalistic countries. Usually, during socialism you've got only 1 political party while at the same time in western countries there is a fight between several political powers. This thing is called politics.
Mayors, presidents and congress have to deal with the financial side of their work. And courts should not be affected by capital and normaly in US and EU judges are normaly independent and I can't say the same about courts in socialistic countries).
