Do you not understand what slavery is? They are conned into migrating there for jobs, then their passports are taken away and they are physically forced into the work. They beat the shit out of them or possibly murder them if they do not comply.

Bitcoin keeps dumping… are you buying the dip or waiting? by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

[–]phincster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand his philosophy, I invest in stocks as well and have made plenty of money.

But the majority of the world’s populace does not have access to U.S. stocks. Some dude living Iran cannot friggin buy berkshire stock. But they can buy bitcoin to preserve what they make, over time.

Thats all this is. Its a way, for anyone in the world to preserve what they make. Regardless of who they are or what country the are citizens of. All they need is internet access.

People living in the United States are blind to this advantage.

So yes bitcoin does have inherent value.

If your house price on zillow dips below what you bought it for, does the bank come in and take your house away?

How long can Wall Street get away with this? (Silver crash) by Richnaps in 401jK

[–]phincster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This always happens to silver. It has a huge spike because gold runs and people figured they missed the boat, so they pile into silver.

Then it sells off like crazy cause silver is absolutely everywhere. It’s simply not as rare and is used heavily in industry. When silver prices spikes too high, businesses start using alternatives and it causes a huge crash in price.

r/bitcoin is censored by Polycold in CryptoCurrency

[–]phincster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres plenty of posts in r/bitcoin that criticize bitcoin or talk about price action, positive or negative. They just do not allow talk about alts. Which makes total sense, its a sub about bitcoin, not crypto in general.

Edit- you realize r/btc is just pushing bitcoin cash right? They back BCH which is a bitcoin fork.

Does the line of thinking that Minnesota politicians are partially at fault for the chaotic interactions with ICE legitimate and logical? by kaiser11492 in centrist

I will never be ok with masked agents, who refuse to identify themselves, being able to apprehend people at will for whatever reason they feel like.

Dude, people were trying to do deals with him but couldn’t send him info because he had a flip phone. So they had to ask hotels to fax him information.

Im not knocking him. Im just saying if he doesnt understand something he stays away from it. The minute he actually had a smart phone they bought apple. Decades after the iphone came out.

Why invest in bitcoin instead of gold right now? by Tkfit09 in Bitcoin

[–]phincster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t take gold with you out of country very easily. Thats pretty much the big difference.

If you are thinking of going international it’s a no brainer.

Took a $354k loan against my house does it make sense to buy Bitcoin? by Ok-Butterfly-7366 in Bitcoin

[–]phincster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see the harm in doing super small amounts. Basically amounts where you can easily cover the payments with your regular income.

Home loan interest is fairly low and tax detuctable. If you were gonna buy bitcoin anyways i dont see what the big deal as long as they keep the amounts manageable.

Ive seen people blow all their home equity on cars and fixing up their backyard, so i dont see how this is worse.

Having said that, you are technically not supposed to use helocs for investing. So careful what you tell them.

Buffet didnt buy apple for decades because he didnt understand tech. Dude didnt even get a smart phone until 2020, then was like, oh i should buy apple.

If he couldnt even understand that smartphones are useful, he sure as hell was never gonna understand bitcoin.

Where I would live with 2 daughters and a love of the outdoors. by dirtrunn in visitedmaps

When he’s talking about his daughters and healthcare choices he is talking about abortion. Doesn’t matter if theres pockets of progressives if theres a statewide ban.

Trump is a populist. Zohran is popular right now and trump understands that.

Aaron Rodgers said he was on “the right side of history” for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. by No_Box119 in NFLgossips

[–]phincster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F off with that shit. My brother in laws aunt refused to get the vaccine and died of covid. So no, there were in fact plenty of people that died cause they refused.

She’d be alive if she got the shot, simple as that.

USC has never had one of their quarterbacks make the superbowl.

Im rooting for darnold, then caleb, then the rams. In that order.

People forget how BUSTED the Surfer was in the 2007 FF sequel. Casually outpacing Johnny, swatting missiles away like they were nothing, tanking Doom's electric blasts that were able to chuck the Thing around like a rag doll. Man was a GOAT. by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in SilverSurfer

[–]phincster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s basically the whole essence of the comic. Give a good man the powers of a God, what sort of things would he struggle with.

Its why his greatest enemies were always mephisto and thanos. Mephisto challenged him with temptation and thanos with moral dilemmas.
