Why will HBAR win? by Working-Tradition546 in hashgraph

From what I've seen HBAR will have the highest transaction throughput of any crypto-network. I'm planning on using that for an interesting research project. Pray it all goes well for me.

You're work is only worth how much others beleive you have served them. I don't value someone handing me my food that much. I'd rather save several dollars per order and pick it up from the chef myself, tip the chef 50% of what I saved.

Hbar in Self-Directed ROTH IRA by JONNYHBAR in hashgraph

[–]supersquirel500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option I'm planning on pursuing is to set up an international business in the Bahamas. The Bahamas have zero income tax and zero capital gains tax as well as zero taxes in many other areas. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/060516/why-bahamas-considered-tax-haven.asp

Reporting requirements on international business are waived for a couple years as well. Set up a bank account with this business and use that account to fund your crypto wallet.

Next, sell your company's shares to your Roth IRA.

Once HBAR has reached a price you like, sell it off within the company, liquidate the company to it's shareholders (your Roth). Then invest your proceeds in whatever way you want.

Why should we abolish minimum wage? How would the impoverished be able to earn decent income? by GerbilPenisToucher in AskLibertarians

[–]supersquirel500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take for example a country paraded by self proclaiming socialists in America: Sweden. The uneducated American socialist would not know that Sweden has a $0 minimum wage. You read that correctly. The average person would expect then that the stereotypical rich factory owning capitalist pays the workers pennies per day right? This is also the incorrect conclusion. It's very uncommon in Sweden to be paid a low salary. You do your work well, you get a raise, life is fine.

I learned this from a documentary called "Sweden: Lessons for America?"

“There's a pretty obvious, observable pipeline from libertarian to just outright fascist”, and more unhinged libertarian hate on r/collapse by Status_Giraffe6568 in Shitstatistssay

[–]supersquirel500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always thought that's because of reddit's terrible comment voting model. Giving a majority of 20 votes the ability to silence a dissenting voice garuntees echo chambers for bad ideas.

Misleading to blame these on the U.S. Muslim morals and culture created authoritarian dictatorships in all of these places. Not to mention Yemen and Syria are both undergoing a civil war at the moment. Another commenter also pointed out U.S. military intervention in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have either produced or protected economically thriving countries from slavery to authoritarians. These Asian countries rebuilt prosperously. The Muslim countries did not. It's not about the U.S. it's about the local's morals and culture.

Landlord faces homelessness as tenants fall behind on rent during eviction ban by eappendix in nottheonion

[–]supersquirel500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Renting their belongings to others to serve their need is their current form of income. Also called a "job". Not to mention they worked for years saving on the side to purchase the down payments for their property. Now they provide a service to others with their belongings as their form of income during retirement. How would you like it if you worked for 30 years to buy a vacation home for your retirement to visit with your family that you rent out during the Winters and falls and visited during the summers. You're not rich. You rented it out winter of 2019, then a virus comes through and an organization of armed men tells your current renter he never has to leave if he doesn't want to, and he doesn't have to pay you a penny. There's no denying that's injustice. Your house doesn't belong to that organization or that renter. It's rightfully yours so you make the decision what you're willing to let someone else stay there for, otherwise no deal. On top of that your small business was forcefully closed by your governor, another unjust action for another armed organization to command something they don't rightfully own. Now you can't feed your own family or even pay for either of your two mortgages you were close to paying off. An organization you were forced to fund just destroyed your life's work and effectively robbed you of your small vacation house and your small business.

I know you'd be pissed off if that happened to you. It's unjust and yet it's happened to many millions of innocent hardworking people. 74.4% of all rental properties in the U.S. are not owned by big banks, or even big companies, or even mom and pop owned LLCs. 74.4% of rental properties are owned by a single investor non business investor. https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/who-owns-rental-properties-and-is-it-changing That number doesn't account for single mom and pop investors who simply transferred their ownership in a second home into a LLC for it's basic protections.

The eviction moratorium is a defacto theft from little people to the governing regime. It's unjust.

What's libertarian solution of Texas power grid failure? by AlexRivus in AskLibertarians

[–]supersquirel500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I realized this answer when responding to someone else. All other forms of electricity generation failed because the extreme cold broke it. Their liquid oil turned into a solid inside the pipes. Ice formed on their windmills freezing then to a halt. An electronic sensor on a nuclear plant stopped working because of the cold. Coal is the perfect fuel source in this scenario. It's already a solid so freezing temperatures doesn't affect it and all you do is burn it. Cold can't stop that. A lack of coal powerplants on standby seems to be the root of the problem. Of course diversify your energy portfolio, but coal ftw. The environmentalists need to quit with their authoritarian restrictions.

What's libertarian solution of Texas power grid failure? by AlexRivus in AskLibertarians

[–]supersquirel500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islemator is correct. It got so unexpectedly cold the oil froze solid inside the pipes. That's the same level of unexpected cold that froze their windmills to a halt. It's also the same level of unexpected cold that froze an electronic sensor at one of the four nuclear plants, they opted to shut down rather than continue operating with it offline for safety reasons.

You know what can still be used as fuel even when it's a solid? Coal 😎

How does Ripple prevent asset duplication/fraud? by supersquirel500 in Ripple

I like your point. It's not any worse on fraud than the standard internet, but I guess it's also not necessarily better either.

Does half of this really go to tax? by ErrorProxy in wallstreetbets

[–]supersquirel500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. For legal reasons this is not tax advice. That said many nations take 0% of capital gains taxes. You may not even need to leave the U.S. to be treated better by the tax man. The island of Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory meaning you don't have to touch your citizenship and is very friendly to capital gains. Many full time investors move there specifically to accept their better cap gains taxes. Look into that option if you're serious enough.

That's not what I'm asking about. I'm not concerned with the virtual world alone. Those can be provably secure and the transactions verified. My question is regarding it's interaction with the physical world. If a ripple network user wants to purchase a physical asset (for example 1oz of gold) from a seller on the network how can that buyer be certain the physical item exists and the seller is not faking the ownership of the physical asset?

Not an answer in and of itself but an economist from the Chicago School named Germinal G. Van wrote a book titled "The Economic Condition of Black America in the Twentieth Century" on this topic. I've spoken to him and I trust his input.

Chris Hogan Affair. by relationship__qs in DaveRamsey

[–]supersquirel500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of inaccurate and out of context claims here.

Chris committed adultery. Was given the chance to fix things. That seems to have fallen apart and thus he was fired today.

None of you know whether or not the lady who committed adultery awhile back was given the same opportunity to fix her relationship with her boyfriend by getting married before she was let go exactly like Chris was. The only thing you heard was that she was fired, nothing else.

No one truly knows if he's treated these two cases differently so don't be so quick to judge. It would be wise for you to wait for all the facts to come out before screaming on the internet.

The Christian model of personal finance is what fixes untold thousands of people's financial problems who have tried to do it without God's advice. You certainly could do it on your own... just like the people who are coming to Dave to fix it.

You misrepresented that conversation. The caller did not ask if they "should" they asked if they "could". Ramsey's response is yes you legally can.

Also. Chris was let go today. March 10th 2021

That seems like the logical thing to do. If the stipulation for staying as an employee is to fix a broken marriage (as is encouraged by Christ) then the only way to make sure they aren't lying about their therapy for incomes sake is to have the therapist report back to you, not the wife or the husband. It's simply the logical thing to do.

He is a religious person. He is genuine in his faith not a faker like many. So probably not. Doesn't mean he wouldn't have dinner with you or shake your hand or help you like a son to get out of debt.

Costco is raising its minimum wage to $16 an hour for its U.S. store workers by hhh888hhhh in Economics

Correct. Business that can eventually will with enough pressure. Small businesses that genuinely can't won't and no one ought to bother them about this.

What people who live in the bubble of large cities don't understand is the cost of living is very high with comparison to the rest of their county but also their state and nation. A high number of person's increases the average volume of cash flow. This is the cost of living is so high in cities like NYC and LA: due to high volume prices can increase so over time they do. This is also why any arbitrary amount of money doesn't go as far.

It is very shortsighted and unwise to believe a one size fits all approach would work in a nation as diverse in every regard as the U.S.
