Yes always request the store brand when at the hospital

That is a possibility but we will have to remember this conversation in a year or two and see if they have placed settlements in Gaza or not.

That's where the trash swirl is I think... so it could be made if plastic

Pretty sure if Israel really wanted to kill every Gazan things would look dramatically different right now.

Vsauce is like that for me. Ever since he tricked people into believing they had actually mutilated and killed people with a train for an experiment possibly giving them real ptsd...

They've known about the problem. They should be asking for these future citizens and building infrastructure to create welcoming and productive communities for them.

We invest in people born here and spend a lot of resources getting them to contributing age. These are like busses full of free investments mostly already at adult age. Accept them. Invest in them. Embrace them as you said. It's what this country is made to do.

The only option left after that is a dreaded red line

So then the people who buy paintings from deceased artists are also scammers? They thought the exact same thing...I want to but this intrinsically useless thing that I think will increase in value because only a finite number exist and I think more people will want it in the future.

A scam is a deception of some sort. BTC is open source. No one is tricked into buying it any more than artwork.

Agreed however stimulation was put forth as something that would require evidence whereas a God needs faith which requires blind trust and the lack of evidence. You are not allowed to even try to test if a god exists because that itself is a lack of faith.

One of those is a belief and the other is a theory.

One requires the absence of evidence and the other requires evidence.

Agreed. It's not inherently a scam nor a ponzi since this rely on lying about how much money you have to pay back everyone at once. Btc is similar to artwork. There is no intrinsic value to it unless everyone agrees it has. Work is done to complete both and both are unique. Both are finite. Only 21 million btc will ever exist and only x numbers of paintings by this dead person will ever exist. If enough people believe both are valuable then their values will rise.

Immediately in the first few minutes he describes in detail how btc was not designed as a scam. Thank you for proving my point

I'll watch it. I hope it's not 2 hours of opinion but actual dive into btc source code that shows something that I guess everyone(including banks and investment firms) has missed.

edit: This matches exactly what I said that scammers have taken an opportunity but btc was not created as a scam as was stated..so IS this a waste of 2 hours where btc is not the target but just a bunch of other coins and nft?

If only anyone could actually prove btc is a scam in any way I'd gladly agree... any evidence at all. No evidence against an open source project since its inception 14 years ago. Is the evidence that impossible to reveal?

Who are the scammers? There is no company behind bitcoin and the soure code is open for anyone to look at at any time and anyone can participate.

Edit: A ponzi scheme is a specific thing that people like to throw at any perceived scam. Ponzi means there is money being put into btc with the promise of more money being able to be withdrawn only because more people join... which is certainly not the case for btc. There is no account where money is being deposited... only a record on a block chain. There is no guy at the end scooping up money.

... in that it wasn't a scam from the beginning...

Scammers just saw an opportunity later.

The trick when directly in the sun is to push the button that turns the screen is off and then place the phone in a pocket and make sure your fingers do not touch the phone.
