When are they going to stop using fixed dollar amounts in laws as if they didn’t know in a decade $200 will be worth way less than it is now? Kind of a slap in the face.

I think we may not be understanding each other.

How do you sell a fork if you aren’t holding it first?

Holders of Bitcoin also have a say in what forks are viable.

If your bitcoin is being stored on a machine connected to the internet, it’s not your bitcoin.

> People complaining that bitcoin is just for crime are just slandering it.

This one really gets my goat. There are so many ridiculous laws. It’s illegal to consume alcohol in Saudi Arabia. It’s illegal in Russia to use profanity in theaters, and in Thailand it’s illegal not to play a salute to the king before every film. Besides geographical differences in current times, the differences throughout history are more striking.

Also, no one is talking about taking down Twitter, which is where the Dayton murderer hung out.

8chan is not the problem. Deplatforming 8chan is shooting the messenger.

>For example, all present-day populations show about two percent of Neanderthal ancestry which means that Neanderthal mixing with the ancestors of modern humans occurred soon after they left Africa, probably around 50,000 to 55,000 years ago somewhere in the Middle East.

I thought subsaharans lacked Neanderthal admixture?

Also it has a government enforced monopoly.

It will and is. Every time the US attempts to control what can be purchased with dollars, it advances the process of turning the USD into a kind of Chuck E. Cheese token.

I think it would be great if China accomplished some major software and hardware innovations.

It should also deflate as the economy grows. Wrt the problems of deflation, it may or may not cause some, but it doesn't really matter because people who don't want to participate in Bitcoin don't have to. They can still choose to use inflationary stores of value.

Uninflatable store of value.
