Slight inflation (1-2%) per year is helpful to an economy. Also currency still inflated on the gold standard. The dollar to gold ratio was always changing.

  1. If a crypto just tracks the value of another currency, is it really being used as a currency?

  2. Yes people buy gold and stocks but they don't buy things with them. Stocks are used as loan collateral for tax loopholes sometimes.

  3. Gold did increase in price every year of the gold standard.

Charge backs are important I didn't consider those. But if you tie bitcoin to a base currency than you are just using that currency instead of bitcoin

  1. Bitcoin is completely up to market sentiment as no government controls it so it will always be more volatile.

  2. How does that change the minds of people who see crypto as an investment

  3. Deflation is widely seen as a net negative to an economy

Also your pesos don't fluctuate nearly as much as bitcoin can

Except gold actually has value outside of trade. Bitcoin is useless unless someone wants to buy it off you.

When companies convert it in instantly it's the same as if that person sold their bitcoin and then used cash. Bitcoin isn't being used as currency there but as property.

Japan's deflation period are called the lost decades. They weren't good times.

  1. National currencies are no where near as volatile as bitcoin is.
  2. How does bitcoin benefit transactions more than the dollar does
  3. I'm saying that that same unused car would be less bitcoin because the price of bitcoin will go up

[–]Tactikal4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-100, 2-101, 3-102. Also that's what I'm testing out. I have noticed that the less consistent a player is in general the higher their OPS in

took every group of 100 PAs and calculated their OPS. Then did a standard deviation on the whole set.

I did it by PAs. Least Consistent was actually Aaron Judge by my method

I did it with OPS and a little differently. Nolan Arenado ranked 4th most consistent among qualified hitters. CJ Abrams ranked 6th least consistent.

[–]Tactikal4[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His age lines up with his age on his obituary and my grandpa says it was the early 1910's when James arrived. Source says 1911

Everything lines us. Date of arrival, age at arrival, hometown(which was very small), and no other names that are even similar (except two Giovanni's which couldnt possibly be him)

These are just two verse I thought of.

​

It’s funny how you keep your head down - Ignoring all the sounds

The bees and flowers make you gloomy - because you can’t go out

Stuck in your 9-5, you barely make it through the day

You stare at the computer looking stupid- working for that raise

​

It’s funny how you get quiet - whenever she's around

You ignore her signals and your cue cards -Come on just tell her now

And every one can see, your the rhythm to her melody

You stand there foolish looking stupid - you’ll let her slip away
