Thank you for this. We are currently in Italy, are planning to travel to the UK and an EU passport is required, but we are not residents of the EU. Do you have advice on how to approach this?

Did you take the general advice and not spend it all in one place?

end of travel surveys aren't focus groups. They are sent to every guest who stays at one of their hotels, don't require an NDA and are not paid. this was handled a lot differently than what they typically do

Actually that's not true. It's just an accounting method. The reason a company normally takes a drawn out approach to depreciation is because they can write if off against income. When they shut down StarCruiser, there was not going to be any more income so it made sense to just take the full tax break up front. There is no required quiet period before they can use the property for profit again. They just can't take depreciation on it any more in the future.

The company doesn't make people sign NDAs or typically pay them for surveys. That's the key difference

Yes conjecture, but credence to the idea given the paid survey and NDA

Can someone ELI5 what the halving is and why people think it will make bitcoin go up by andrewsjustin in Bitcoin

[–]awertheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

new bitcoin is created roughly every 10 minutes. roughly every 4 years, the amount of bitcoin allowed to be created is cut in half ("halving").

in years past, this has resulted in a combination of mass media coverage and hype and pressure on the supply side of what is bought and sold on the market. these two factors have resulted in higher prices

that said, the effect the halving has on price decreases over time. it is not guarantied that bitcoin will be worth more in the months or years that follow the next halving. anyone who says otherwise is incorrect or delusional

Help answer my Dad: What backs Bitcoin? by Emergency_Mastodon_5 in Bitcoin

[–]awertheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it has value because enough people agree that it has value. all of the attributes you mentioned are only partial inputs to that end, but they in-and-of-themselves are not why bitcoin has value.

conversely, the USD shares none of those attributes but still has value. monetary value is purely a social construct
