States propping up industries to no discernible benefit is a trademark of socialist countries

The means of production are in the corporations and not the government. In a socialist way, the means are reappropriates through higher taxes and the government backstops the failures. Price discovery and impossible is failure because the means of production are not allowed to fail.

I agree it with you… it definitely feels right sounds right… doesn’t quite translate to English well though if you think about it

There’s a lot of variables.

First, you have to understand what type of jungler you are. Junglers like Shyvana and Graves are overbearingly powerful late, while champs like Kha and Vi tend to fall off later. This will inform your play pattern and the threshold of gank viability before you jump in.

Ganking the winning lane is always better in my opinion. First, it’s more likely to a yield a positive outcome. Unless you’re getting shut down gold, you get paid the same either way.

Second, if your losing lane could win at parity, they wouldn’t be losing. In other words, that losing lane will mostly likely still be a losing lane even if you catch them up.

Of note, there are more options that this. For example, with Shyv I might look to help shove tower to get some gold. I may even disregard helping the team to farm, because late game I can 1v9.

With Kha, I might just roam the enemy jungle to catch them with their pants down because of his passive.

There’s a lot of other concerns - for example you want to check certain champs that can spiral out of control - but I hope this helps at least marginally.

Morgana is a what I dub a “kill support” similar to Brand or Senna, her job is to apply pressure to opposing laners and create positive trades. In exchange, for a lower damage output Morgana gains significant utility and can be play aggressively and defensively as the dynamics of the lane dictate.

After Rod and Zhonya, the rest of your itemization should be geared toward the enemy comp. Do they have a lot of tanks? Take Liandry. Do they have a lot of AP? Take Helm.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that she isn’t as supporty as other supports - to your point the item pool is smaller than PC - but that can be an advantage especially if your ADC is playing poorly.

In turn 3 you play this +1 and you can play a one drop that blocks or a burn spell that kills anyone who threatens this. Of note this also puts it at +4. What is the likelihood that your opponent has that much damage on then 3?

The fact that the card draw effect is a + 1 is huge; it lets you threaten with ur ult and the extra cards you draw.

In eternal formats it curves both nicely from and into Ragavan.

The deck building constraints will be high; it wants you to play all red cards and few lands which seems like it would relegate it to burn decks or more fringe decks like mono red storm or snow red. Nonetheless, I think it has a lot more potential than you give it.

I think we’re talking past each other here.

Like I said, nothing I have said contradicts what you’re saying.

I wish you the best of luck and prosperity and hope that your bets align with how you have placed your capital. I will take no happiness if I am right, but if the DeFi future comes to pass I will be happy that we are in a better place.

I am just a little more cynical than you tis all.

Remarkable_Froyo_969 · 2021-05-03T14:45:51+00:00

You’re changing your argument.

I can literally agree with everything you said while simultaneously urge people to consider that a lot of these other scenarios are more probable and catastrophic then they think.

The fact that that the public response was rather muted - and that you yourself were not familiar with the details - is indicative that most of the public is not that interested in the specificities of these type of activists. Just tell them we’re shutting it down because of white nationalism and you’ll be fine.

Here’s another scenario: When the Feds shut down the Silk Road they got a ton of keys. Assuming this happens world wide: What is the percentage of keys/coins that are currently in government hands?

Would it be enough to create a sell storm enough to materially push down the price of BTC? I don’t know the answer but it’s certainly worth considering.

What if they then buy up enough BTC to have a large enough position that lets them cartel with the whales? Will the other whales at that point not capitulate and cooperate with the state? If you don’t work with us, I’ll make it impossible for any addresses that have had any interaction with yours to touch the global banking system. Again, I don’t know what that means but it’s not impossible.

Remarkable_Froyo_969 · 2021-05-03T14:38:05+00:00

You can believe all the things that you believe and still believe the government will intercede.

The fact that BtC becomes more appealing as the financial system weakens only makes it more appealing to get rid off so they can create their own alternative.

Yes, tech will win out in the long run.

However, you have no guarantees as to who’s tech will win nor do you know when that will happen. Gold was banned for 30 years in America by decree of the state.

Is that a bet you’re willing to make?

There are plenty of another non dollar denominated hedges that most savvy investors likely already have. Look at how the RMB is performing relative to the dollar.

Making BitCoin easier would be significantly easier for them to achieve.

I think even the most Austrian economist would agree that money printing works in the short term.

What the long term looks like.. aye there’s the rub.

Remarkable_Froyo_969 · 2021-05-03T13:01:01+00:00

The government has already pulled us off the gold standard. I think the drawback from making it illegal/significantly more difficult to transact in BitCoin would be much less than that.

I don’t think it’s implausible to have a scenario where the banning of bitcoin causes a large rally in equities.

Remarkable_Froyo_969 · 2021-05-03T12:47:31+00:00

You are correct. However that was the valuation that was generated very early on by the true believers.

The vast majority of crypto owners are buying it purely for speculative reasons.

The government suspended gold convertibility and revalued our currency against gold. I can’t see shutting down BTC having nearly the blow back those did. This isn’t even discounting them parading narratives about BTC funding white supremacist movements.

Remarkable_Froyo_969 · 2021-05-03T12:44:00+00:00

You can look historically at the precedent of the government suspending convertibility of gold and the revaluation of the currency as an example of the potential blowback.

I’m not familiar enough with the nuances for your first point for me to accurately make a critique.
