I don’t understand your argument. Wall street was designed so that you and i could own actual shares in companies. Companies which produce goods and/or services. What is the backing value of bitcoin other than others possibly wanting bitcoin? What backs it other than demand?

I have owned crypto. I have made a lot of money off crypto. But to think it is safer than traditional investing i think is a bit naive. It’s, so far, a supposed solution looking for a problem.

In the short term, sure. In the long term the S&P 500 averages 8%/year for 100 years. I would argue that is a much, much smaller gamble.

Take your free money and put into something with real, actual backing value. Ignore the gambler side - it’s just the devil on your shoulder. This is free money. Let it work for you over the next couple decades.

100% true. This is especially the case when spreading dipping sauce on your pizza. Knifes just suck at this. Spoons rock.

Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”

Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“

It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”

To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.

I have no opinion on the person who made cash here. Sex work is still work. You, however, are an asshole.

More? 22 brands released EVs last year alone. There are a LOT of options out there, with more to come. Apple would have been like, the 4,000th entrant in this market.
