    Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have.
    He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations.
    Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."

Bill is short.

Don't be like Bill.

I find it interesting that the story about craig wright being satoshi has resurfaced again.
Not only in this thread, but I saw a few more topics on the forum today. I am not a veteran in the crypto space like most of you are, so I do not know if this has happened many times before. But I have noticed that certain news stories(if you can call them news) get recycled every once in a while. Which has an impact on newer people in crypto. Perhaps creating uncertainty or doubt?

Just waiting for roach to turn up talking about how it's all part of (((their))) plan

...but it's not all as bleak as some people like to make it out to be.

It could also potentially lead to people spending more time on picking up skills and hobbies as they won't be clogged up with superficial relationships that merely resulted from their sex drive.

I actually think that this is already happening.

Historically, women were dependent on men for their labor and men were dependent on women for sex.  The resulting "power over" relationships often had problems with manipulation and bullying on both sides.

More recently, advancements in contraception, industrialization and pay equity for women has largely freed them from their historical dependence on men, skewing the power balance radically in their favor.

But, even more recently, the advent of ubiquitously available internet porn has largely freed men from their dependence on women for sex. I see the coming sex bots as merely a continuation of this trend.

The power relation is swinging back into balance, but in an entirely new way where neither gender is dependent on the other for their needs.  For perhaps the first time in history we have the opportunity to form mature, discretionary and fully consensual relationships not based on fear.

When can I trade in my wife for one?

Just a correction from the $5k rebound.

Just a momentary distraction while changing cassette tapes in the car stereo. Got a bit close to the kerb. Badger has always been a bit careless.   What does Badger like to listen to?

Looks like the badger might've sobered up already.

This isn't gonna work unless we allow recreational use of tanks and nukes.

The largest investment in ASIC mining hardware by any company to date, however, was that from the GMO Group, the largest Internet Service provider in Japan, and owner of the country’s leading Forex market exchange and bitcoin exchange

I would've guessed 80ish. When I actually found out I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes.
