Nothing was destroyed. Money was just transferred to smarter guys.

No tech can fix incompetence. That being said some say it was just a budget cut(cgi is cheaper if you can't seen anything)

So how do you watch international/foreign movies?

Indeed but then people found out they don't care about what's behind the ticker (i.e underlying value) as long as its price goes up. You can find the same behaviour on many stocks as well(i.e $AMC more recently).

I believe Musk is starting to loose its shine unless gets another rabbit out the hat. The Tesla Bot may be a such attempt but it's a hard sell because it's not really something new(i.e Boston Dynamics have been trying it for decades)

But celebrities endorse gambling so how is this any different? Do people really think they are winners if they play online "slot" games?

> Stocks are different because there’s actually an underlying business beyond “waiting for the next guy”.

I agree but this doesn't change the fact that many people don't care about the underlying business and often the stock price and underlying business are disconnected. They just gamble whatever is "hot" or if they think they are smarter they trade the chart. In this way it's no different than crypo "investing". Both can make you rich or get you bankrupt, fast.

Some people still live in denial. I can surely see CIA paying a visit to Ghana's officials.

cryptocurrencies don't have to be ponzi schemes but most of them are because the crypto "investors" want to get into ponzi schemes.

They don't "believe" in shitcoin's "white paper" but they believe there are more ponzi buyers.

To be fair most retailers do the same with stocks so it's not that different. I don't even mention CFDs where the vast majority lose. Even "analysts" score various instruments based on "demand"/market sentiment not value.

But only one entity prints dollars so that's the catch/unfair advantage of the U.S.
