“I do believe that time in the market beats timing the market”

my problem with this: what if stocks will not recover after crash in decades? I am not an expert, but isn’t Japanese exchange standing still for 30 years?
There's a complex of people in Washington dedicated to defending the mechanisms which allow for the siphoning like FTD's (failure-to-deliver's), asset lending with no return dates, what is effectively asset lending by other legal names, and other things like exemptions for market makers being allowed to provide naked positions in the name of "liquidity."

This complex of people has a name (!) - "The Blob." It's the amorphous bureaucratic mass of people who will send vague and threatening letters to people actually attempting reform ("Dear Mr. Young Senator, we recommend you don't pursue your inquiry into naked shorting further, or it will be bad for your career.")

Then you have, diametrically opposed to the Blob, the $GME apes. Forget for a second about the mother of all short squeezes, "dying brick and mortar," "nfts," etc. The property worth paying attention to here is how antifragile and self-correcting the ape community is. Here you have tons of random, highly distributed and highly passionate people apprehending the real nature of our financial, media, and political institutions. You have a system where when the Blob pulls a fast one, a set of people who got in for a squeeze/quick profit are converted from a set of ambivalent retail traders into an intolerant minority whose focus has shifted from profit to "If we haven't achieved systemic change, we have failed."

The fight for reform is well underway. There's so much more to be said here but I'll end with this: even if you don't care or believe in $GME, believe in the apes. They're the individuals putting their skin in a the game and exposing themselves to harm for what they believe is right. Pay attention.

And as a corollary, I knew someone who had his Porsche sandwiched in a sudden traffic stop and it needed about $90,000 of repairs, including the chassis being unwarped, as I understand it, and the insurance paid for the repairs because it was marginally (~10%) cheaper than replacing the car.
It was something I came across online and not personally, I was curious so I read about it on forums for drug addicts and it seemed somewhat prevalent, at least not unique to the first post I read about it.

I wanted to edit this in but since I'm late I'll do it here : I could very well be in the wrong with my stance on addiction as a term. Perhaps it is akin to me downplaying feminist or trans causes as a male (it's not something I do, just an example) to say we shouldn't reserve the term for worst cases. I say that from a stance where I think it is a prevalent problem in our society and we should be able to address it without tip-toeing around terminology. We should be able to talk about things like weed and obsessive phone-scrolling as potentially disruptive issues that can be proper psychological problems (and/or stemming from others like anxiety) which run deeper than mere bad habits.

And thanks for your kind offer.
> Social media companies are common carriers, just another set of telecom utilities that must be regulated so they cannot deny users access once they’re above a certain size.

In your opinion. There are many good arguments against this and you know it.

> Also your claims of judging and disallowing speech on a subjective determination of being “antisocial” is exactly the kind of authoritarian kafka-esque censorship that makes the policies of these huge tech platforms incompatible with a free society.

This sounds like your arguments are misinformed or perhaps not realizing how things are.

Speech is already heavily regulated by civil agreements throughout American society. I don't have enough time to type all the examples, but here are a few: you can't sell trade secrets from your employer and claim freedom of expression, you can't scream loudly during a theater performance, you can't curse in a restaurant, you can't go sell things 'table-to-table' in a restaurant, you can't make public statements about someone's marital fidelity, or whether or not they have transmissible infections or diseases. There are many other examples.

So there are already pretty strong guards against behaving in antisocial manner and trying to claim that it's 'protected speech'. But I understand that it's very convenient for you to try to say that such guards are 'authoritarian' and 'kafka,esque' instead of presenting even a tiny crumb of valid argument against my very well-argued position.

They can tell Chinese companies to censor terms in their products overseas. This has already been done by several Chinese game companies. They can also use soft-power to control the products that companies make overseas such that censorship happens in the planning stage of the product such that some products just aren't made because they won't be marketable in China, a key money maker for many companies.

Quantify the environment cost that has been borne by bitcoin and now compare it to the cost by overheating or cooling houses (except perhaps a few elderly or infants, no one needs a house to stay within 60-80 degree band, you can survive with much less heating/cooling energy usage). Then explain to us how anyone living in a comfortable room temperature heated home that complains about bitcoin isn't a hypocrite, using environmental concerns as propaganda to shame people using computation cycles in some way they deem unfit while simultaneously restraining their outrage for AI training or video games.

This comment is unpopular, because it hits too close to the heart of home for many of you sitting in your comfortable home wasting energy on heat and A/C while complaining about environmental consumption of bitcoin.

I totally agree with you. Distributed ledger technology is amazing .

But, I think bitcoin could do better if it’s services could be split apart.

People use bitcoin to perform transactions , to speculate on its price and to generate value by mining to secure the blockchain.

If these services were more broken apart we would have a better solution but this could be intractable problem. The main problems that people cite such as the ESG impact are big. Many people in bitcoin speculate on the price which introduces problems with people that want to use it for payments. Since we need miners to secure the chain it has a large environmental impact by those miners. And socially it is used to allow people to violate various laws .

Probably didn't apply to Bay of Pigs but something that's somewhat distinct is a desire for consensus.

It's somewhat a cultural thing (where culture can mean country/company/team). But there can be situations where someone (and it may actually be multiple people) have misgivings about an apparent consensus but feel that unanimity is more important than having a knock-down argument over some minor point. This isn't even always the wrong call--again doesn't apply to Bay of Pigs.

Just make sure beforehand that they're supported by LineageOS. Then you can wipe the OEM crap and run software you trust instead (assuming you trust the LineageOS developers).

If they're the kind that's sold artificially cheap under the assumption that they can make up the difference by showing you ads for the whole lifetime of the device, running a different OS has the added benefit of eating into their profit margins.
Here in Buenos Aires, for calculus for the first year of the university, we use to ask something like:

For 16 hours to be 0.01% of the total time, bitcoin will have to be 160000 hours old, which is about 6666 days, or 1913 days from today. So on April 5th, 2027 (assuming it has no more downtime before then), bitcoin will be able to claim four-9s of reliability.

Look at this link. The US built very few houses in the last decade.... we are in a supply crunch.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041889/construction-yea...

Going back to 05-07 people were bidding up houses in anticipation of them going up in value + there was high supply. People right now are bidding up houses to live in, because there aren't many and interest rates are very low, and they have money in the bank because they weren't spending much the past couple of years.

All without any meaningful service costs

No we can't, because there's no way you can dismiss the climate costs (and the impact on energy prices and chip supply) as not meaningful.

I’d disagree that the only reason people would panic is lack of communication. If you have enough of the events I listed happen I close each other such that the government can’t adequately respond to them, there would be a panic.

I guess my point is maybe that we’re in a fragile system rather then a bubble. It’s self sustainable in the steady state (to your point) but if it breaks it’s going to completely collapse and we just have to hope that we never reach the point where it could break. It’s a Similar line of thinking to controlled burns to manage forest fire before they get uncontrollably big. But in the USA at least, the safety net isn’t there to allow for controlled burns in the economy.
So did I read correctly that Avira, Norton and Avast have been/will be bought by the same company (Symantec, but rebranded), with the sole intention of getting their existing userbases to mine crypto for Symantec?

This is absolutely bonkers. Most users are unlikely to even make back their electricity cost (arguments for space heating can be made, but not in summer), and paying out the minuscule sums is impossible due to transaction fees.

Hoping that somebody will sue this endeavor into oblivion.

You don't really need to do this if you provide a strong welfare state. Provide government healthcare and benefits to all citizens equivalent to say $10 an hour, and you don't need to limit how employers and employees interact. They have the freedom to quit.

> And it certainly requires oppression

So we come back to the beginning: all taxation is oppression?

Keep in mind that my scheme actually probably involves less government force than yours. People will be less violent, requiring less respondent force, if given a minimum standard of living. So do you want the government to use more force? Or is "oppression" the issue, I can't keep up.

You're right, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Algorand and others were just created so the authors could take the cash and run.

> Find the smallest prime number that is divisible by 7 and 13.

So what did the model answer?
NFTs don't give you ownership of anything. They're simply a public record saying someone was dumb enough to trade something valuable for something worthless.

Someone posted a link yesterday to an NFT they "own". I saved it to my computer, changed the file name, and uploaded it to a server. They had and have zero agency to stop me from doing so. Their NFT "purchase" didn't transfer any copyrights to them recognized by any entity with means to enforce copyrights. I can do whatever I want with those bytes I downloaded and the owner can't do a damned thing to me.

So what "ownership" do they have? They don't control redistribution. They don't physically possess a thing. They can't assert some sort of exclusionary control over who gets to see a thing.

Some record in a slow expensive database just says a wallet to which they have the private key transferred Geoffrey dollars to another wallet for the contents pointed to by an IPFS identifier. That's one of the more complicated ways I've seen to throw money away but it's not ownership.

Perhaps I'm reading you wrongly, but everything you are saying here and elsewhere implies to me that you take the attitude that everything you do must have value to other people in the world.

Do you do crosswords? Sudoku? Wordle? Do you play chess? Go? Backgammon? Do you play any video games? Do you watch movies? Do you play a musical instrument? Do you paint or draw?

If so ... why? What value do these provide for the rest of the world?

If not, fair enough ... that's just you, and maybe you won't ever understand that sometimes other people do things purely for the challenge, and sometimes on the way these things hone skills, increase knowledge, and provide satisfaction.
Crypto is sort of in it's own category because it's mostly traded by speculators, but housing feels like a bubble. Companies like Amazon Facebook and Google actually make a ton of profit and I think have led the stock market. I also think vc lending money to zero profit companies is not new. Low or no profit companies like the two boxes and Twitter also seems to be sustaining on new debt. On average it feels like we are holding steady but no worse for the pandemic. So not a new bubble in my opinion.
Unnacountable oligarchs run the central bank system and engineer crashes as a means of buying up assets for pennies on the dollar, so yes, another is inevitable, its just a matter of when and what all they want with this one (forced SDR coins, national central bank coins, etc to create a more trackable/controllable society, et al)

If you have the means there are ways to ride the oligarchic coat-tails so to speak, usually buy buying the assets up right after the initial pops.
Because no private enterprise could provide power or internet. Sure, some of the internet technology was invented with government grants, but lets not pretend these inventions were only inevitable due to US government. If US government were gone today the internet, electricity, and bitcoin will still be here but the usefulness of the dollar will massively decrease.
Everything you're seeing is the result of massive QE and artificially low interest rates. 40% of all the USD in economy has been created in the last 2 years. In 2008 the FEDS balance sheet was 800 Billion, today it is almost 9 trillion. All that money they created out of nothing has to go somewhere and finds its way into the markets, housing, etc. Can you imagine what would happen if the FED tried to remove just a couple of those trillions? Imagine if the FED 0.25 Interest Rate was 5% + it was just 12 years ago.

Can the madness continue, yes and much longer than you can imagine. This will only end when the fed decides it ends, only they know the time and day.

My response to you is nearly identical to what I told a sibling commenter. Some of those things are right and some of them are wrong, but far more importantly I really like your thought process.

I don't want to give "real" answer/answers, in case anybody else is having fun speculating!

But I will also say that the "real" answer/answers are somewhat debatable. In the sense of: the players utilize the properties of the felt in particular ways. So, are the balls fuzzy because the players utilize those properties, or do the players utilize those properties because the balls are fuzzy? (Which came first, the chicken or the egg?) The answer itself is fuzzy, because the reality is that the ball and the players and the game have evolved steadily over ~100 years.
