I really don’t understand why a hacker community would consistently downvote crypto currency related comments. Can anyone explain it to me? Like, folks can build their own cpu so not to be controlled by big companies, but they all like using money controlled by some big banks?

I don’t believe usd will hold value as US is technically bankrupted now. I also don’t use yuan or other currencies as they are not globally accepted now.

So I believe in technology evolvement and use crypto currencies which solve both problems.

If you believed distributed databases would replace centralized databases, why wouldn’t you believe distributed money would replace centralized money?

I'm not sure if this is the dogfood version or not.

All my experiences using Airbnb have been terrible and their apps/website are the slowest I've ever seen in a tech company.

But I think the price is reasonable because the Fed printing machine won't stop and US has long lost the opportunity to ever increase interest rate so everything will just pop up like end of world, e.g. what has Apple done this year so they are now worth 1 trillion more than last year? Thus 60b for Airbnb is basically the same as 30b last year.

tl;dr: if your asset doesn't pop 100% this year, you are a fool.

This is why I always buy $10K+ Rolex watches instead of $20 made in China Casios. Worth it.

I honestly don't know why you got downvoted.

I'll try using other online retailers whenever I can until Amazon gets splitted.

I don't feel "running a 200 person company (ref: article) at 23" is remarkable if you look at who runs a 328.2 million person country now.

Running a company is a different skillset from getting to the position.
