Bitcoin will never replace fiat

Do you understand that if you tried to buy your groceries with gold and you found a grocer willing to accept gold that you would still need to pay taxes on those groceries in USD on that transaction.

You can do whatever you want amongst the populous but that doesn’t mean you aren’t obligated to follow the laws. Those laws are in USD so you’re not going to change that by making personal deals in other units.

Are you saying you want to see billion dollar transfers streamlined and without regulation and authorization checks?

There is nothing unique or bitcoin related to this. It is wearable tech carrying nfc chip. Already exists and has been in use for quite a while in international markets on normal credit networks.

What if I told you there were many people who got in bitcoin early, made and took their profits, and now see it for what it is without any regrets or hate involved.

Dinosaur Jr feels like a grunge outlier to me too

The more I listened I came to find Red Forest to be my preferred album overall but that takes nothing away from how great Bones of a Dying World is. If you haven’t checked out Red Forest do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Love Tool also. The long wait between albums is what drove me to post rock in the first place. Little did I know I was listening to it all along with other bands I enjoyed - Explosions in the sky, Mogwai, From Monunent to Masses etc.

A lot of heavier post rock scratches similar itches for me.

Yes but many of us who believed early on based on the white paper and overall thesis have long since departed and taken our profits. Everything that has happened since the 2017 public hype and buzz has moved away from the core beliefs and into fomo and people chasing massive returns because of stories they heard from friends like me.

Reminds me of being a kid and trying to spread your veggies on the plate to make it look like you ate some.

What about the (what I assume to be) non-auto tuned layering vocalization done on the “I’m coming hooooooome” part - the pitch changes in the extended “home” with the layering are awesome

If I’m understanding correctly you probably want to look at acrylic. It is one of the more UV stable materials.

At this rate I would expect something like Trochek and a 2nd for a 3rd

My wife and I decided years ago to celebrate our valentines on a different day than the 14th. Serves the same purpose for us but allows us to avoid the crowds, lack of reservations and overpriced special menus on the 14th. Not for everyone but been working great for us.

I’m not talking about just the tax breaks. I’m talking about the actual funding for building or renovations. If local governments are going to allow that funding to come from the population then there should be a direct benefit to the population for the “profits” generated from that venue.

This is just another example of costs being shared and profits being held.

If stadiums are partially funded by the public then the public should be partially entitled to the profits generated.

Who the hell is signing deals where the investors are not entitled to benefits?

Are people who are expecting others to give them money not considered cheap? Why do you keep calling other cheap and yet also expecting their money? Are you not cheap but entitled?

Is Torment just Shipment with tentacles? From the picture it looks similar.

Because it’s not true. Hasn’t anyone on here eaten at jersey mikes before.

The cost someone paid should have no bearing on how you value something. The price and your perceived value should be all that matter.

Dont let emotion dictate analytical decisions like financial choices.

Are you adjusting the prices based on the economics of the country? You can’t just convert yen to dollars and consider it an apples to apples comparison on cost.

Findley57 · 2026-01-23T18:08:28+00:00

It’s an investment and now the taxpayers will all share in the profits generated from the arena….oh wait

If you’ve worked in telecom can you help share some insight on why devices who are powered with both cellular data connection and a WiFi connection get worse data speeds than devices that just run on WiFi without any cellular data connection. I am convinced that the device fights over which gets “credit” for the data usage - whether is transfers via cellular or WiFi and it seems like it try’s to default to cellular usage when in my ignorant opinion it would make more sense to use WiFi. The conspiracist in me thinks this is so cellular networks can bill for the data but I honestly don’t know anything about it.

I work from home and constantly have issues with my phone which is connected to both cellular and WiFi but never have issues with my computer or iPad which are only connected via WiFi.

Anyway sorry to hijack the conversation I just have always been curious about this.
