Pretty good at selling Mayfair flats to Russki petronairs
Indeed oфигeннo I'd be terrified now to hold any of those properties for too long I went to Harrod’s a couple of years ago, any way long story cut short - My gf & I went outside after & saw a block of swanky flats, big tall glass building. It had an Abu Dhabi Bank built into it on the ground floor. I said to her ‘I bet they’re worth 5-10 million’. I googled them when I got home I googled them & they were going for over £120,000,000 each. Fucking insane. I thought it was bad enough when I went to pick out a coat at a different department store. Not Harrods but nice enough. Found one I liked. Took it to the register. £5950. Wtf. Went to straight to Zara and got one almost as nice. No way I’m ever paying that for clothing even if bitcoin goes to six figures. It's called high fashion for a reason , because you'd have to be really fucking high |

Oh, don't misunderstand. My post history here stands for itself with regard to my position on taxation and the State. That said, if we ARE going to have such structures, targeting the fees to those who actually cause the problems/use the services seems preferable to socializing all the costs.
My only real objection to the conservative reporting on this was the clickbaity oversimplified breathless tone. The left press does it too and it annoys me just as much.
Yeah I can agree with that. Localized tax collection and spending would be much preferable to what we have right now. Would also make it harder for crooks to waste money on horseshit. |

Mostly speculative equity investing. "The fund will also hold a small percentage of its value in liquid cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin" A small percentage of $40M is nothing. Some powder on the tiny bit of snow dust that'll eventually turn into a tiny marble, etc. |

overly shrill headlines Stormwater management is, in fact, a thing. It does cost actual money, here in the real world. Insurances and more than 60% of income taxed aren't enough yet? Why? |

The new green deal shit is the craziest thing I have ever witnessed being pushed in American politics. Literally the only thing that would come from that would be the downfall of the US. I don’t understand how basic stuff like not polluting rivers is the craziest thing you have ever witnessed. And not sure why it would lead to the downfall of the USA. But ok. Although I'm not sure if wind power and whatnot is the most effective way of reducing emissions, I don't get the general attitude against going green either. I've been wondering if bridging the gap with nuclear power while investing heavily into nuclear fusion wouldn't be better than putting the same resources into wind. Solar seems reasonable for decentralization at the very least though. Keep in mind that nuclear power was researched for war purposes. As a result the nuclear power reactors that we have now aren't anywhere near as efficient or clean (less dirty) as they could be. And in general, not polluting your environment should be a no-brainer. I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to argue the negative health implications of smoking at this point, and polluting the shit out of the environment is comparable to at least a weaker form of that. Still not sold on "climate change" though. Too many unknown variables. If we had any clue how earth's ecosystem worked we'd be controlling the weather. |

To be fair, it's hard to be joyful about modern games.
I swear to Cthulhu, if I see another fucking Battle Royale game come out soon (LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU, ANTHEM !) I'm going to take up board-gaming. Or maybe tiddlywinks. Possibly enter the Pro-Jenga circuit... I've actually been considering board gaming. Got a few friends that keep raving about it and they meet once every other weekend for just that. Actually sounds more fun than "gaming" gaming, might be the leaf and drinks though. |

!!!!! speechless...
Never had you for a gamer r0ach. Even there you are full of joy God damn it.
Do you also watch a lot of porn?
Morningz.
To be fair, it's hard to be joyful about modern games. The gaming industry as a whole has largely turned into a massive cash cow, as opposed to a bunch of nerds pushing the boundaries of what they can create. Mechanics are always virtually identical. Calling them different names and giving them different effects doesn't change their fundamental nature. And genuinely new mechanics or content, let alone genres, have been very rare to non-existant. Of course, from an Economic point of view that's understandable, but from a gaming enthusiast point of view it's just cancer. Unless you're fine with regurgitating, which people do with pop music, then I guess whatever floats your boat (but that shouldn't make up most of an industry). |

It just keeps getting better  I suspect the opposite. They will have the motivation to earn sats which will lead most of them to spam. It will be hard to find a tweet to reward. Also good old tribalism. People will just reward their own echo chambers. On the other hand, that means that an "infiltrator" could some decent pocket money while simultaneously taking the piss. |

I don't think Bob should be allowed to pretend like he represents the aggregate of black people. For one thing, he posted a picture of himself on here and you can CLEARLY tell he's NOT 100% black. He's barely above Michael Jackson in darkness. You can't say "I'm a relatively intelligent person and I'm black!" when you're clearly mixed ancestry. Just look at the following stat: *According to Ancestry.com, the average African American is 65 percent sub-Saharan African, 29 percent European and 2 percent Native American. All accepting claims like this from Bob at face value does is legitimize the idea importing a trillion Somalians or Congoloids who can't even read after spending a billion dollars each trying to force them to. Anyone who went to public school can tell what's going on. Some of the black kids are completely illiterate even in middle school and high school and unable to learn anything, while some others seem to do alright; not fantastic, but 'okay'. If you mapped their genetics, it's probably the ones with little or no white genes having these major problems. I have a degree in Mathematics nowadays, and when I was in school your best guess would be that I was a completely degenerate retard. I've heard on numerous occasions that I would not get anywhere in life with my attitude from different teachers. Jokes on them. Point being, whatever you do in school is no predictor. The education system is simply not fit for our world. Should be obvious too given that it was tailor made to mass produce factory workers during the industrialization. |

 Lightning Network Nodes Jan/5/2019 Lightning Network Nodes Feb/5/2019LN > nodes increasing. https://1ml.com/I always get confused with node and channel. Visualize it a few times (on different days). Nodes = circles, channels = lines connecting them (I assume). |

Bullshit ....so somebody's money is taken away, just because he saved it for the future? Why I have to move my money, if I don't want to?
This stands against some of the most important core values of bitcoin. Satoshis coins belong to Satoshi, nobody's business what he does with them.
This. Also, if people lose their coins, be it by proxy or not, it's their problem. It's about time we stopped babysitting adults. |
