    What I like is the option of turning over control of the money supply from the US government….to a finite group of entirely self-interested bros. That seems like a good move that will bring nothing but global prosperity and long-term stability and has no risks at all.

    That's exactly what these idiots want and its not only ridiculous but incredibly dangerous. GRUhorn is just the mouthpiece. It's a given that if he is in favor of it it is designed to harm America.

  2. Hardge is aaight. Replaced Sean adams after he passed as a temporary guy just filling in and sort of grew into the role. Played in the minors and an upcoming career cut short by injuries I think gives you a good perspective on sports in general.

    Has Joe shut down the virus like he promised or have more people died from Rona since he assumed office?

    Trump finally told the cult to get the vaccine and they booed him and would rather die instead to own the libs so no, Biden couldn’t stop the cult from being complete idiots and killing themselves. Too bad.

    What?  The currency has nothing to do with this.  GoFundMe is not the arbiter of legal tender or the only way to pay someone money. 

    But, yes, if we assume some hypothetical where it was actually illegal to pay someone money - say they’re on the terrorist / sanction list or some criminal enterprise and legitimate banks and other financial intermediaries won’t send them  money - then Bitcoin does indeed “solve” that problem.  So, uh, congrats Iran, ransomware gangs, whoever does Silk Road version 2, A&M football recruits, and Immaculate Vibes, I guess.  Your freedom to make money in a way that is “apolitical” (read: illegal) is a critical development for our future! 

    The dude is being paid to spread chaos on the net with bullshit. He keeps getting crowd banned here, and yet keeps coming back. It’s pretty obvious who finances his posting bullshit. Just think about what he’s doing on Facebook and Twitter.

    For those that question the need for, or utility of apolitical money. 
     

    Bitcoin actually fixes this. I’d expect this episode to drive some adoption. 

    This fundraiser will increase quickly now. 
     

     

     

    Pro trump, anti vax, pro Facebook, and now pro Bitcoin, aka “apolitical” money. Anyone seeing a pattern here?

    I remember doing back of the envelope guesstimation in March 2020, long before we had a vax, and saying we might lose 2 million people from this.  We get a vaccine and we still might get there because of how poor adoption rates have been. 

    I think your guesstimate is closer to accurate. I personally know at least two people who died prematurely and unexpectedly in their 50s and 60s and it will never be said it was Covid. I’ll never be able to prove it and frankly don’t care to since that’s not my job or concern but I believe it was a factor anyway. Yeah I’m getting older but I’ve experienced more death in the last year and a half than I can ever remember.

    These motherfucking cruise missiles don't sell themselves alright.

    Amazing how little real estate SA doing work on Sanaa recently getting.  

    I hate it when I agree with you but nah, not really. 
     

    It’s always about the money. Always. Litigation with KBR opened my eyes completely.

    Even so, I omitted one of the most high-profiles Democratic politician to voice of opposition to the Iraq War at that time....Howard Dean. 

     

     

    A sin for which he was then almost immediately severely punished by the so called mainstream liberal media. Just like Biden with Afghanistan. You can actually set your watch to it.

    The metaverse pivot has been coming for years.  It's been 8 years since FB bought Oculus, and they didn't do it for shits and giggles, and it wasn't because Zuckerberg happened across a copy of Snow Crash.

    But I think they have a fairly small window in terms of years to get it right, because they have multiple companies that are almost as big or even bigger than they are looking at VR/metaverse stuff (Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sony), and these companies have the hardware experience/infrastructure, or can buy it.

    And somebody is going to finally make a VR SecondLife that actually gains traction with the masses, and that isn't simply a place for furries, GOR fans, and flying penises, and the tools to do so are getting cheaper and easier to use every day. Plus, it would be fairly easy for a smaller company who makes that app to actually stand up the infrastructure in very rapid fashion using Amazon hardware.

    I don't know who will pull it off, but I can tell you it won't be Sony - they've had the hardware and software/tools for some time now with the PlayStation platform and accessories, and they can't seem to figure out what they want to do.

    Edit: Not Gor football club fans, this GOR:

    You’re probably right but it won’t be FB. To think it’s army of olds is gonna convert to it is pie in the sky thinking and the youngs left it awhile ago. They do have Instagram still but its strategy of buying up the competition just isn’t gonna fly anymore and Zuck ain’t no genius, far from it. FB has only been dominant for less than 15 years and I predict in much less than that time it will go the way of MySpace. There’s only so many trumpy bears that people will buy.

    I didn’t donate, but I put a black box on all of my social media profile photos to show how much I care.

    Why are you constantly posting about black people?  Seems like a thing for you. Did they beat you up as a kid or something?

    What’s funny is what people remember as disinformation ends up becoming acceptable. People are just coming around to it. The key points were 

    1-Natural immunity is roughly equivalent to vaccine immunity.  
    2-Caution is justified given the risk/benefit assessment in children and teens, especially boys, especially given #1. 
    3-Given the first two points, broad punitive mandates were unjust 
     

    Never posted anything to do with ivermectin, HCQ or any other proposed early intervention. 

    Nice try asshole. You were constantly posting anti vax bullshit for months. Everyone here knows it. We don’t have to go search for your bullshit posts to know it either.

    It appears Facebook didn't make that decision, rather the market made that decision for them. Hence why the focus on Instagram and stealing Snapchat's schtick, to attract teens.

    But no social media can currently compete with the force major that is TikTok, currently.

    I read that Zuck actually saw the writing on the wall a few quarters back that his social media FB had peaked and would start to plateau/decline, hence the major investment into the metaverse pivot. It's a big bet and doesn't seem to be winning in the short term, but it's pretty strategic and smart of him all things considered. 

    Ultimately two things I consider that has me remaining bullish on FB/Meta:

    1) Zuck is known to be a fantastic operator and is the only big tech* founder still in functional and practical control of his organization

    2) Doing the painful pivot now: any pivot would always be hard and painful, but doing it now while still relevant and big (did 33bn in revenue last quarter) is smart.

     

    *Is it fair to still call Facebook/Meta "Big Tech"? With the lost of $200bn in market value overnight, they are worth ~$670bn; all the other "Big Tech" (GOOG, AAPL, AMZN) all worth at least $1.4T.

    He’s a fraud who stole someone else’s technology and idea and became obscenely wealthy from it.  Facebook was always by far the most likely tech company to fail since he’s in charge of it and the market has finally figured that out. This “pivot” is just sheer desperation. 
     

    And lol at the market shaped Facebook into what it is. That’s some dumbass shit there even for you.

    That's a bunch of drivel.  Okay to say it's a bunch of fat whites.  Not okay to point out minorities have a much higher obesity rate.  You woke white lefties are a special breed. 

    The left's definition of racism is dumb.  So I don't really give a shit if you call me one.

    You are the most overtly racist poster on this entire board and I can’t even name second place. 
     

    That’s a fact.
