I guess. If you want to hold paper gold rather than gold. I wouldn't touch it with any pole. And their claim of 'first crypto-to-gold' exchange falls flat. Perhaps twice. If not only for the fact that you're buying not gold, but rather a gold IOU, but how long have they been operating really? There have been several actual metals vendors operating since years. They have been operating since 2013. They're legit. Paper gold isn't for hodling anyway. It's for speculating. You can actually take possession of your gold if you want it. They will ship it to you anywhere in the world. |

A hardware wallet is a total waste of money in my opinion. Especially if you are a hodler.
I disagree. It's awesome and easy peasy to send small amounts of btc from my Trezor to my phone wallet to spend from there. Or just spend directly from the Trezor. All safe and secure. |

Hardware wallets terrify me for some reason.
I would say the same. I dont trust any portable wallet, be it a hardware wallet or a cellphone wallet. I cant say exactly why, I just dont feel safe if I dont have full control, like in a desktop. Maybe its the size of the screen, or the lack of a mouse, or the lack of a copy of the blockchain, I dont know. To each their own. I trust the Trezor, esp b/c its firmware is open source, and you are not locked in to it. But you guys have to realize that if the majority think that way, then there won't be any widespread mass adoption? Bitcoin has to be as easy and as secure as online banking on one's smartphone, or it will forever remain a niche for paranoid geeks. |

We have been below replacement rate since the 80s in the west. We are literally dying.
If you believe the data/outcome of the Calhoun's rats experiment can also apply to humans, then the reason for the dropping reproduction rate starts to make sense. But it's more than just available space, or the amount comfortable space, that one lives in. The rats didn't have to "purchase" their real estate, they just laid claim to it. However, humans do. Also the rats didn't have to "work" for any resources. Humans do. Too many offspring are not just a drain on their parents comfort of life level, but also their available resources/wealth. Thus too many offspring now pose a risk to the parent's longevity through a chance at comfortable retirement. Notice how the wealthy elite still seem happy and healthy while having a boat load of children? Yeah there's a reason for that. "Don't have more children than you can afford (either while married or through divorce)" is now becoming a major thing. And in the West it'll only get worse when people are more overworked and underpaid, taxes and inflation continue to increase, income levels peak, debt levels peak, and large, comfortable homes become astronomically unaffordable for most couples. Actually we are already there. |

There is an overwhelming global scientific consensus on this point. So yes.
I think you are really not understanding me. There may be overwhelming scientific consensus that humans "are contributing to climate change". But please point me to all the studies and data showing that humans can CONTROL climate change. And of course the executable master plan that I'm sure all countries of the world are just chomping at the bit to put into action. I'll wait... for another two decades... to watch nothing change on this. |

Im not going to argue with people who don’t believe in science.
That cake was baked long ago.
So people who don't believe climate change can be controlled by humans are automatically thrown in the 'they don't believe in science' bucket? Wow |

So far as I can tell, you are an old white guy.
New ideas don’t persuade people. It’s just the opponents die out. The progressives always win in the long run.
It's human hubris to believe that humans can some how control climate change. Effect? Maybe. Control? No. Mother Gaia will re-balance on her own schedule, thank you.  |

It's not just food that matters, humans have a psychological need for space as well. The more people there are, the more we end up like Calhouns rats - dying from a lack of reproduction, even when the numbers start to drop after major dieoffs. The rodents never recovered, who is to say that we will?
I don't disagree. Let's start with the 2-child-max-per-couple rule and enforce that first. |

Whoever conceived this crap should put their money where their mouths are and start by ending their own cancerous existence. What are your specific objections? 1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. If we're talking Logan's Run type culling bullshit, then good luck with that. |

You know, that login captcha really tests me sometimes. I often start to wonder, "Well could I be a robot and not know it?" Wouldn't be surprised if we sideways between $8-9k all summer. I've been wondering why someone has been buying truckloads of ETH at gemini's auction for weeks now. This could be the answer, a HUGE ETH short position coming. Especially if the SEC rules that ETH is in fact a security. Also Andrew Left is a tool. |

Great interview. You could tell he was scared to come right and say what he was thinking, which was this: "My fellow brothers and sisters, get your head out of your ass, get you mind out of the past, let go of the plantation. Quit idolizing successful black people and putting them on a pedestal that you can never obtain. Let go of antiquated and false ideologies and limitations that are supposedly holding you back. Free your mind, and you will be successful at anything you put your mind and effort toward." |

The MSM is a contrarian indicator, only ever bullish when the price is going to drop.
So I feel like all the pro-Bitcoin news I've read over the last week or so tells me another dump is coming.
I'm guessing we'll retest the $8K level again soonTM.

Your real-estate discussion is ruining bitcoin. Stop it!  This is a wall-observer thread, not a walls-creating-a-home thread! Didn't you get the memo? Bitcoin is boring as shit right now. |

Just so everyone is clear, I'm not arguing against owning a house. I'm actually pro-home ownership. Just pay it off as fast as possible.
I'm merely saying that it's not an "asset" if a) you still have debt owed on it w/ interest, b) it doesn't pay you back, and c) you never plan to sell it. It is a liability, not an asset.
And if you sell a house every 5-10 years just to buy a new one w/ a new 30 yr mortgage. Not an asset. And you'll never own anything that way. Just "leasing" indefinitely.

You gotta be mobile. Everything changes so fast now. Buying a house and waiting for it to ROI in 20 years? Ain't no-one got time for this shit.
If I was young and single and had to do it all over again, I'd either live out of an RV or mobile tiny home. Pay it off. Rent-to-own or buy the property it sat on. Then once everything was all paid off, either sell the RV/tiny home for profit and build another house on the same property, or rent out / AirBnB the tiny home and build or buy another house somewhere else. I would keep doing this until I had a completely paid off house on the property that I wanted to retire on. |
