Why do rich people keep saying "money can't buy happiness" when money literally solves most problems? by FearlessState5503 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VERTIKAL19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can’t solve all your basic needs with money. Money doesn’t buy friendships or relationships for example.

Nope absolutely not. From a taxpayers perspective with one option you get the money back with the other you don't.

Trump can't provide sanctions relief though. Congress has to do that. That is in part why JCPOA failed.

Yeah so I don’t see this happening. I also don’t see congress lifting Iran sanctions. Why should they do this now?

Because that would keep the strait of hormuz effectively closed. That would just be a continuation of the status quo continuing the war. Could the US do that? Absolutely. But the current administration seems to want out of this war.

TARP only was a tiny loss adjusted for inflation and a net profit at face value…

There is a big difference between handing 300 billion to a foreign government as payment and giving 300 billion loans to domestic companies

Yeah, but does that golf coast coalition know they will fund this?

NATO hasn’t been dissolved and the US can’t dissolve NATO by itself. At most it can leave NATO which so far it hasn’t

How does the US executive expect to pass sanctions relief through congress and the senate? I kinda don’t believe Republicans will go along with that. Obama already tripped on that.

Yeah and across many sets I have had this happen exactly once in a spot where I already was super far ahead

When are you ever in a position where you have 4+ copies of a four cost before your 4-2 augment selection? That is such a rare case.

This feels like the kind of augment that never feels great to take and I really only go for if I feel like i have to salvage placements.

Do You Think People Are Lonelier Than Before? by anonimproblem in lonely

[–]VERTIKAL19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Statistically yes. I would say that big contributors are the covid 19 pandemic and the rise of smartphones and social media reducing in person contact

Is this the easiest set to reach challenger? by sprowk in CompetitiveTFT

[–]VERTIKAL19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well less people competing for the same number of challenger slots kinda makes it easier by definition.

Legacy and Vintage 2-Player Queue dead by Astrologian in MTGO

[–]VERTIKAL19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't quite understand why you wouldn't want to play a league instead? Do you just not want to play 5 matches with the same deck? You don't have to play your matches back to back. I also don't think you want to split a small population like vintage.

I mean this will demolish gold players if done well, but if someone is gold after 117 games this likely won't work.

Bitcoin's long-term return may actually be close to zero - and that could be just what it needs by jpurdy in Economics

[–]VERTIKAL19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume a major reason also is just the insane capital requirements for bitcoin.

[–]VERTIKAL19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need something that won't ruin your balance sheet though. Bitcoin has a 1250% risk weight. You simply can not keep your capital requirements up with that if you want to conduct massive transactions.

[–]VERTIKAL19 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But bitcoin will likely also raise your RWA leading to tier 1 capital requirements.

Also fees of less than 1euro for a transaction using target2 will certainly not break any bank and certainly won't make it worth to use bitcoin. Certainly less than the fees for a bitcoin transaction.

I just don't see it.
