I know what market liquidity is, but if I were to purchase or sell large amounts of Bitcoin I think it would definitely affect the price. I don't think Bitcoin has high liquidity at all.

In what sense does Bitcoin have high liquidity?

I'm looking at getting an E46 330Ci and converting it to a track car. I found a fantastic example for £2,250.

Apologies, I thought I’d edit a useless, incorrect comment into something useful and contributive to the discussion. It wasn’t an act of manipulation or deception.

I have restored the original comment.

You could argue that it’s not that drivers don’t care for good steering feedback, but most drivers never get to experience good steering feedback and therefore don’t know what it is and how much it improves the driving experience. It’s kind of a Catch 22.

> You know, back when you could really feel what a car’s doing, blah, blah, blah.

There is an argument to be made for this. In most new cars, whether ICE or electric, electric power steering racks have almost removed all feedback through the wheel.

Feedback is good, it communicates what the wheels are doing, what the road surface is like, what traction is like, etc... and I'd argue that good steering feedback is important for safe driving.

Lithium ion batteries are both toxic in production and disposal.

Most non-car folk synonymize performance with acceleration, when in fact acceleration is arguably less important than braking and cornering.

After all, what good is being able to go fast in a straight line if you can't brake or carry that speed through the corners?

I agree, I think we have at least another one, perhaps two decades with gasoline engines. The sad news is that displacement will continue to get smaller, even in sports cars. The transition from the Porsche 981 to 718 is a great example of how to ruin the perfect sports car.

Sorry, I know this, should have got that right the first time!

Boeing could have chosen to compete with the A380 and built their own Superjumbo, but they chose not to, instead working on the Dreamliner.

The 744, which was the last update to the 747 to see large market penetration, wasn't all that cost effective either:

> with 70 percent of its seats occupied, used more than 95 percent of the fuel needed by a fully occupied 747

Yes, the A380 is more fuel efficient, and cost per seat is much lower, but I suspect with the exception of Emirates, most airlines did not need bigger planes. Other airlines such as BA, Quantas and Singapore bought A380s to replace their oldest 744s, but still have a lot of 744s in service that won't be replaced with A380s.

The insurance policy for you and your family costs $20,000PA? I don't know about you, but to me that is madness. My private health cover with Bupa costs me less than $1200PA.
