  • If the US reserves gold, why do they also reserve silver? Why do they reserve grain, oil, steel, cheese, or foreign currencies?

    Because it’s dumb to put all your eggs in one basket and the more you diversify, the safer it is. Like it or not, Bitcoin is an asset; and barring a global disaster that knocks out all electronics, it’s unlikely to go away. It makes sense to have some and sit on it.

    Will there come a time when everything falls apart and the only way to trade with another power is with tons of wheels of cheese? Probably not, but if it does, the US is ready.

    Will the same ever happen with Bitcoin? Probably not, but if it does, the US is ready.







  • Careful there friend, you’re awfully close to reinforcing a negative view towards women/people in general based entirely off of a conversation on the internet that is most likely fake anyways.

    Golly, you’d have to be a real stupid jackass to let that happen, huh? Just a completely brain dead, ignorant, son-of-a-bitch.

    Fortunately you’re smarter than that, right? Right?



  • That’s the thing about the “fuck cars, everyone should switch to bicycles” mindset. For most cities, especially in the US, it’s just not safe yet.

    You can say that if more people rode, or bike friendly infrastructure was put in place, then it’d be safer, but it’s just not safe yet.

    You can say it’s more healthy than cars and doesn’t take as much time or energy as people think, especially with e-bikes; but it’s just not safe yet.

    After seeing my 3rd friend in Seattle (supposedly a fairly “bike friendly” city) get hit by a car and need to be hospitalized, I decided biking is not for me and may never be. Since then, 2 more friends have gotten in accidents. I don’t exactly have a large group of friends and if you widdle that down to friends who predominantly bike as their method of transportation, I’m looking at over a 60% accident rate for bikers I know.

    It’s just not safe yet.
