Why would Bitcoin purists care about off ramping onto fiat?

This seems awkwardly unnecessary for a technology that has only prioritized deflationary economics and economic sovereignty through private key encryption.

It’s not the burden of society to prove the dangers of the technology we purchase on behalf of the businesses that sell it.

We recall consumer products for danger well below the numbers reported in the article above. A vehicle on the road should be held to an even higher standard.

luckily, predatory pricing does not have to consider intent.

see Brooke Group Ltd. v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 509 U.S. 209.

essentially, all you have to do is prove that there is "dangerous probability" that a monopolist can recoup their losses after all competitors have been priced out.

This is not true/unfair interpretation.

An artist does not get paid after the first payment from the label from the sale of a CD. If you play the CD on repeat, the artist does not benefit, nor does the label.

/Labels/ get paid for every single listen on Spotify.

There is also Spotify Direct, too, and the artist can directly benefit more than if they went with a label.
