Of course, the rules for student loans, including eligibility and interest rates vary with time, but generally speaking there is a certain level of publicly subsidized loans that do not bear interest until after graduating or other qualifying conditions.

Piggybacking on this discussion...

Currently, 9.1% of student loans are delinquent by 90 days or more. This is an 'asset class' (to the makers) of over $1.6Trillion. Size of junk mortgages in 2007? About $1T.

Ponderate upon this: what happens when those bad student loans go totally tits-up? <mr_rogers_voice>Can you say financial crisis? Sure. I knew you could.</mr_rogers_voice>

I would not get too preoccupied with blaming benefits that go to more regular people as compared to bank bailouts and bullshit like that. 

I think your ponderationin' organ may be able to do with some calibration.

 Those home loans circa 2007 were made to everyday people as well. When they went in arrears, it was mom and pop on street left holding the bags while the fat cats got bailed out. What makes you think it would be any different when student loans are defaulted upon in mass quantities?

I don't give too much of a shit.  Student loans is the current system, and there may be some needs for student loan reform, but those macro considerations are way beyond either my pay level or my individual action level if I were a student considering what to do.

So, in essence, I was looking at this matter from the consideration about what to do as a student, rather than having system-wide concerns as you seem to want to devolve into irrelevancies in your striving to be right about something (that is largely not relevant) regarding the original points that were being made and the reasons for such points.

Yellow vests say:

XhomerX needed for inspection

 No strange artifacts so it seems legit.  I went back to the one you posted the other day and found the original image from twitter - it also seems legit.  Sorry to have misled everyone!

besides bitcoin and ETH, you can not sit in anything in a falling market

ETC could not stand the bearish trend and announced the termination of the activities of one of its groups of developers

Will know it fast cause gonna bring myself to my HODLpits

[nanobtc]

Statistically speaking you probably still drink more than me. I prefer the herb. Whisky I mostly enjoy for exploring what the fuck is going on with taste buds.

Hmmm, @BTCMILLIONAIRE...

"Whisky" spelled without an E.
BTC fan.

Are you the originator of the term 'hodl'?  Does your GF go to gay bars? Do the words "pit pat piffy wing wong" mean anything to you?

Just curious.

Anything in particular that you'd recommend? I'd like to up my whiskey tasting game a bit.

Depends what you're into.

I'm quite fond of Caol Ila 12/18 which is peaty, but not as much as Laphroaig, and with a buttery/oily mouth feel that I quite appreciate.

My favourite whisky (so far with my limited experience) would be a Glenmorangie Signet though, which is quite sweet and actually has easily discernible notes of toffee, chocolate and less obvious coffee that you don't normally find in whisky.

As far as non-scotch goes, Japanese whiskies that I enjoyed were any Hibiki, Yamazaki, and Nikka Coffey Grain. They're much tamer than scotch, but interesting drinks nonetheless.

Haven't really played with American whiskies yet, but Maker's Mark is quite nice and very cheap.


Any recommendations that you have?

[BTCMILLIONAIRE]

Whisky...

recommend?

Ah, a topic close to my heart!  Costco has Lagavulin 16 on sale, or at least they did last week...  Bottle's still half full!  Hard to be pesimistic with a well aged, Islay single malt so close at hand.

If'n you've never tried an Islay single malt you may want to start with a Laphroaig 10yo with a splash of distilled water.

Laphroaig is a hit or miss. I love me some good peat, but it's definitely not for everyone. It took me a while to get into too, and I just sucked it up and kept trying a dram every few days for weeks before I could really taste and smell anything other than ashtray.

That's what got me really hooked on whisky though. I was curious to see if there was really something to all the flamboyant and over the top tasting notes that you see everywhere and bought 10 bottles of different scotches to figure out if the deal is real. It is. Who would've guessed that you have to actually buckle down to "learn" tasting.

[xhomerx10]

....... I'm sure opsec would not be too much of an issue at a party on the edges of a tropical jungle on an island somewhere....

It will be juuuuuuust fine

Pardon me guys, I just have to step outside to get a errrr breath of errrr fresh air

 Just make sure you wear your hat so we can see you coming!

Whisky is spelt whisky where whisky came from. The fucking Irish and Murricans changed it to Whiskey for marketing reasons. I wish I came up with hodl, but I did use the phrase 'clam down' well before that. What do I win?


P.S. Will respond to JJG later. Too drunk for so many words right now.

BTC will replace fiat. Alts will become modern equity.

Pandemic of airborne down syndrome in this thread.  You have complete shit for brains pump and dump scammers not only claiming bitcoin has a 0% chance of failure now, but both a 0% chance of failure and *guaranteed* to become the world reserve currency HAHAHA.  It's not even possible to create a decentralized digital currency in the first place (transaction validators are always designed to centralize), so it already went to $20k on zero fundamentals like some type of dotcom bubble pump and dump scam.  

The odds of it becoming the world reserve currency on zero fundamentals besides temporary regulatory arbitrage is a joke.  It has non-existent fundamentals vs physical metals.  Shitcoins aren't even fungible so don't qualify as money in the first place, nor is it possible to create a fungible one even if you tumble them because you have central bankers posing under the pseudonym "developer" constantly trying to alter the protocol just like fiat central bankers.  

Money does not transform at random from one thing to another due to some basement nerd pretending to be god trying to impose his will on others.  If it does, it's not money.  It's just a centrally administered system of control.

Russel's Reserve Single Barrel Rye is a good one. And then there's options like Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey 101... American staples that are quite nice.

Not into the really peaty stuff for whiskey, I like something in between with a hint of sweetness. Although I'm not much of a drinker anymore, had to give up weekly drinking about 5 years ago. Now I just like to taste something good and pure now and then, especially around the holidays.
