Sounds like you don’t have much left to say and can’t back up your point, so you get personal.

I don’t understand your argument. Wall street was designed so that you and i could own actual shares in companies. Companies which produce goods and/or services. What is the backing value of bitcoin other than others possibly wanting bitcoin? What backs it other than demand?

I have owned crypto. I have made a lot of money off crypto. But to think it is safer than traditional investing i think is a bit naive. It’s, so far, a supposed solution looking for a problem.

In the short term, sure. In the long term the S&P 500 averages 8%/year for 100 years. I would argue that is a much, much smaller gamble.

Take your free money and put into something with real, actual backing value. Ignore the gambler side - it’s just the devil on your shoulder. This is free money. Let it work for you over the next couple decades.

Bonus: can also be applied to boomers.

Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”

Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“

It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”

To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.

More? 22 brands released EVs last year alone. There are a LOT of options out there, with more to come. Apple would have been like, the 4,000th entrant in this market.

This is not bank debt. It’s the sum of his civil fraud trial and EJ Carroll trials. Trump owes nearly 500M is penalties. So i would say this is his problem.

Emigration is really hard, both emotionally and financially, regardless of where you live.
