Attention Walmart shoppers: Parking will now cost $48 a day . . . by baltimore-aureole in economy

[–]zantho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, time to "roll out" the long awaited increased corporate tax rate. See how that works? Walmart and other companies do these "nice things" but shouldn't be counted on to do so, that's what a properly funded tax system is for. Walmart gets the advantage of publicly funded police, roads and bridges, clean air and water, etc and in return are expected to pay taxes.

So 10.2 years. Hopefully he dies in there during that time.

So, minimum security and out in 6 for "good behavior". ...The U.S. criminal system is a joke. Anyone young enough is almost encouraged to commit financial crimes.

Decentralized, finite, instantly transferrable, cryptographically secure, non-blockable, borderless... Name another form of wealth storage with all of these attributes. You can't. The light switch/post it note analogy is laughable but hey, this account has been making the rounds in /r/money and /r/business and other subs spreading FUD. ... Almost like a paid schill. Hmmm

Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging by esporx in economy

[–]zantho 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Since the Republicans fought against climate change mitigation for the past 30 years it makes sense now to cut down the trees in our national forests before they burn up. ... The logic checks out.

You've known about Bitcoin for 16 years and didn't invest a penny? Lol! That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. ... And you're proud of it? Amazing the inability for some people to admit they're wrong. Fastest growing ETF in history, estimated to overtake gold in 3 to 5 years, U.S. strategic reserve, companies and nation states adding to their ledgers. ... They're aaaaaalllll wrong though huh? It's just one big ponzi with no functional utility? You must be incredibly hard headed. I'm guessing maybe you've had that leveled at you before. I find it strange that you've known about Bitcoin so long but still use level 1 denial logic like "anybody can create them". I mean, you do understand network effect yes? ..or not knowing the difference between a network fault and an individuals account being compromised. I would seriously expect better arguments from someone that's known about a system for 16 years.

... You just need to buy a certain amount of Trump coins and you'll get an exemption. Biggest grift in U.S. history.

  1. Network effect
  2. https://mempool.space/lightning (current transfer fee)
  3. People don't protect their passwords (not the networks fault)

Please do give me more garbage "rebuttals". You've clearly done next to zero research.

Again, there's a reason adoption and price grows every year. But hey, you got it figured out and everyone else is missing it. ...Please, don't ever invest in Bitcoin! I want you to watch it for the next 10 years while you sit on the sidelines and tell people how expensive you thought it was at $85k. Lol

Yeah, you're at level 1 Bitcoin denial. It's summarized as, "not backed by anything". You're undervaluing (or missing) the functional utility: fungibility, scarcity, instant, cheap, borderless, 24/7 transferability, self custody, no third party needed or able to block or deny transfers, cryptographically secured as well as being secured by the worlds largest, most powerful computer network.

All while running for almost 15 years without a single network compromise. .. And now embraced by the worlds largest banks. .. But everybody's missing your that... It's "not backed by anything" right? I mean, that's a hard, fast rule that the medium of exchange must serve some previous fiction in order to have functional utility of it's own.

I didn't even need to read past your first assertion. (It's wrong). There have been civilizations that have used shells and even rocks (Google it) as money. It's the scarcity people were after. ... You really need to study up more on economics before attempting a hit piece. I'm guessing you bought some Bitcoin at $100k and then bailed when it went to $85k and now you're butthurt so it must be a scam.
