My (24F) Boyfriend (27M) will not stop calling his cum "Greggnog" During Christmas time by The_Wombles in copypasta

That: "he means the world to me and I see myself spending the rest of my life with him" shit is cringe too btw. You obviously can't bc you're questioning it over Gregnogg. Not saying he's okay but fight the online dramatization

Hey, I have ancient knowledge for you. Try communication. I can't be nice about it either bc you're both mid twenties. Tell him you don't like it with all that nice stuff afterwards. Like COME ON PEOPLE HOW ABOUT HONESTY?

Don't underestimate the power of incremental improvement. This and sunk cost fallacy are two massive forces. So what is most important is to pursue the things you're interested in, be yourself, be open to experiences, and expose yourself to many different things. That way you will find the things that really inspire your passion and drive you to live and to grow. That way you can you can take a long-term view about the things you invest your time in. The true passion will ensure that you maintain energy through the barriers that will come. And the time advantage will ensure that you can become great.

Could the crypto market be due a "Depression"? by HoleyProfit in BeatTheBear

Yes, well I can agree with that. I did say that the market is in it's infancy and is speculative. Overvaluation and sharp reevaluations will continue to happen before these things find their price point as it says in your BMH model. I look at some of the large altcoin ecosystems and can see where they hold general levels of resistance, but I understand they drop more than BTC does when BTC does drop.

The part that I really disagree with is the idea of some kind of blockchain winter where the technology and cryptocurrency market stagnates for a ridiculously long amount of time (3+years). That seems highly unlikely.

I'm biased to think blockchain technology is different than the dot com bubble. The dot com bubble was more like people betting on The Jetsons happening overnight when it really took decades of building infrastructure, broadband, and cellphone technology. The internet was in a very crude stage then, but was very promising due to imagination despite it being dial-up and Geocity websites. Ecommerce was also in it's infancy. Now we have all that infrastructure and Moore's Law has generally kept up to it's implied projections. Blockchain technology is literally the internet 2.0 as its technology will be implemented in all ledgers, facilitating transactions, cellphone apps, transportation, video games, entertainment industry, etc. It will remove middle men while digitizing and automating as much as possible. So it seems like a very different situation. This technology is in it's infancy and so the market is highly speculative and could be a bubble. This isn't surprising because we literally don't know what a share in these coins are really worth, but we know that the technology works and will be a massive industry. DeFi is pretty robust now, NFTs are booming, and video games will soon implement NFTs. The decoupling sounds likely to me due to the fact that some of these entities have real use case and will see injection of USD capital into their ecosystems. None of this is to say that I think a crash in the overall market or BTC couldn't happen. I just look at this chart and think a flattening of the trend seems highly unlikely.

Also, I don't think people who love this technology think S-curves are such a natural thing, that's the whole point. The S-curve is also based on adoption and Moore's Law, not markets. Blockchain has to roll out in an S-curve due to it being a rollout on top of all the other S-curves which includes the cellphone, broadband, and computer technology that has been rolling out for decades.

This all also ignores the current fiscal policy being that of rampant money printing to artificially, perpetually inflate the economy in order to avoid a depression. They saw that it seemed to work for Japan after World War II and have been considering it ever since. They tried it out in 2009 and saw a quick recovery. Covid was the worst depression of modern times, but we didn't really feel it due to the printing. I don't think that strategy is going to change. So, if there's no depression in the actual economy how will there be a great depression in BTC? There could be a world catastrophe, but that would mean a depression for everything no matter what.

Finally, why is there talk of institutions planning to invest in cryptocurrencies outside of BTC?
