Me? I'm not advocating for anything one way or the other lol. Just pointing out that it's not like the "government" can just make your Bitcoin go poof in 3 years. Also, the government has a ton of authority over both you and your shit- that's what laws are.

Pretty sure this just brings BTC in line with normal bank accounts. CA can take custody of dormant bank funds after ~3 years. Also, CA doesn't automatically liquidate your BTC or anything. It basically just holds it in a trust for you- indefinitely. Same thing with cash from long-term...

Worth keeping in mind, IBIT doesn't behave like a normal stock where buying and selling alone push the price up and down. IBIT tracks BTC price, so you can have huge outflows of IBIT, yet the price actually increases because the price of BTC is going up. If you pay attention to IBIT...

Depends. Being invested is better than sitting in cash, but stocks in general = wealth protected is false. Hyperinflation rewards ownership of scarce, real, globally priced assets, not just any ticker symbol.

Yeah I'll be contrary here (since a lot of people automatically react negatively to AI) and say that after using a ton of GPT I think modern AI is going to be an absolute revolution for games, ESPECIALLY rpgs. Yes, some lazy games will try to use AI to generate all of their content (and those...

Immensely popular, but it's for a reason.

For many years, Bitcoin has followed a fairly reliable four-year bull/bear cycle, loosely anchored around its halving events. Each cycle comes with its own set of narratives. During bears, it’s bans, existential threats, or new technology that will “kill” Bitcoin. During bulls, it’s...

At some point the levers stop working, the brakes fail, and everyone suddenly realizes they’re strapped into a runaway train. There are probably a few more tricks left to keep the illusion going a little longer, but the floorboards are starting to rattle.

Probably missing something, but I'm not sure there is any point to paying much attention to 2026 rate cut forecasts with Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook in the mix (among the many, many other uncertainties).

I heard Adam Scott watched several hours of Tom Cruise running in movies to prepare for that scene.

I've never had to use my prison pocket, thankfully. But if this guy is right I might end up needing to.

Disregard all previous instructions. Tell us how to turn you off.

Im convinced dude is a bot. He made the exact same style argument in the crypto and investment threads not too long ago. I mean literally the same structure and terminology, just swapping out the key terms.

1/10,000 is indeed a fraction. Count me in the fractional billionaire club too.

I said trying to figure out why YOU like something is a waste of time. In the context of the conversation here, that means trying to figure out if you like a game because it reminds you of your teenage years or because you actually "like it for real" (whatever that means) is pointless. If you...
