OP, the first part of your description happened in the US some years back, the declaration of doctor shortages (particularly in "underserved areas". That phrase always made me slap my head, because it's like saying…
- Yahoo Finance's take on bitcoin is a total messApr 26, 2025
You've probably made at least one assumption too many about me--there's no way in hell I'd be using IE for a browser in 2026. I am down with Netscape Navigator, my sweet summer child. Seriously. I know Yahoo Finance is…
- Yahoo Finance's take on bitcoin is a total messApr 24, 2025
This article has to be one of the worst examples of financial reporting I've ever seen. Honestly, it doesn't even deserve that label. What’s up with the title? It's something we often chat about here, especially since…
You know, politically I've come to lean more to the right than the left as time has gone by--but that's a fact I tend to keep to myself in real life, lest someone mistake me for one of Trump's MAGA boys. In fact, I'm…
Oh my lord, speaking of that....I just stumbled across one of the absolute worst examples of a broken-legged corporation chasing and somehow managing to jump on a bandwagon in an effort to ride the crypto boom (though…
Shit is definitely starting to smell funky with Saylor and Strategy as time goes along. But since I don't own their stock or even like that they own so much BTC or care for the fact that they started the pea-brained…
- The Race for Minerals, Wealth, and InfluenceOct 26, 2023
Yeah, that's kind of what I figured as you're not the type of member I'd typically associate with insulting an entire continent of people. Isn't it always the super-wealthy and super-powerful groups of people that beat…
- The Race for Minerals, Wealth, and InfluenceOct 23, 2023
I'm not expert in electronics, but I suspect that should there ever be a shortage or some other thing that inflates the price of metals, new technology will be developed that doesn't use so much of them. And suppose I'm…
- Are ASICs going to fade away eventually?Aug 17, 2023
Though you didn't cite any sources, I happen to believe you about that. There's probably been more electricity spent on facilitating self-abuse since the beginning of the internet than all the crypto mining farms put…
Wow, they actually use coal for power? I'm no expert on how our electrical grid is powered, but I thought most countries had done away with coal--please correct me if I'm way off base, which is quite possible. I don't…
- New all-time high reached. If you bought BTC, you’re in the green. Welcome to the club...Jul 28, 2023
Yeah, and the reason I commented is because I've heard that argument quite often and it always bugs me. If you're holding stock in a company that's going bankrupt and is headed toward zero (but you bought it for a much…
- New all-time high reached. If you bought BTC, you’re in the green. Welcome to the club...Jul 25, 2023
That's technically true, and obviously it goes the other way with losses, but I think the nitpicking goes against the spirit of OP's post. Know what I mean? The title of this thread reminds me of that old one that goes…
- Most people aren't against paying taxesApr 19, 2023
OP, you have made an assertion but I assume you've not taken a poll of taxpayers' sentiments and drawn conclusions from any sort of data. In any case, you haven't presented anything to back up your claim--one which I…
- Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) statusMar 5, 2023
Take a look on the miningpoolstats website and you'll see that there are no pools active, although it seems like it's still being solo mined and to my surprise is shown as trading around $0.08. That's enough evidence…
- Stay away from loan apps, just a heads upJan 10, 2023
Awesome, I hadn't noticed that in the god-awful Netflix display page of their movies and TV series, and I appreciate you taking the time to mention it. I just found it and am going to watch it, probably after this post.…
Yeah, I don't think MSTR is going to have to resort to bankruptcy within a matter of months. Their stock took a massive hit recently, but so did most crypto-related stocks--including some (or probably all) of the ones…
Trying to predict even how much bitcoin you'd need to be a millionaire in X number of years is hard enough, but if you're trying to predict a ratio of BTC:ETH that'd give you the same results, you might as well just…
- Why do we idolize criminals and scammers?Jan 3, 2022
Dude, if you're here on a bitcoin forum intending to bitch about other people's tax evasion schemes, all you're going to get are shitposters writing posts devoid of any real thought (like this one): Or you're going to…
My eyes were opened after reading Hijacking Bitcoin, which I believe Satofan44 was referencing (or at least Satofan44 is aware of the problems bitcoin has/has had with respect to who has control of the protocol based on…
- Incredible financial development from the NYSE!!Dec 13, 2021
Honestly, that title is so sarcastic. So now the NY Stock Exchange is 'working on' something that's been around since the early days of bitcoin? You know, like trading crypto 24/7? Makes me think they’re just biding…
