That'd be the cherry on top
An industry that utilises real resources and to make... nothing?
The overlap of the people who complain about the Fed creating money is almost 1:1
Because inflation and deflation are exact opposites...
Inflation and deflation have very little to do with making new money. It's a measure of the cost of goods and services, each given a weight based on an estimated effect on purchasing. The largest thing effecting inflation right now specifically is companies increasing profits massively while providing less to the consumer, like groceries, rent, cars, etc. These companies make more and more money by increasing costs, hence the inflation.
“Because bullshit and reality are exact opposites.”
“Because a rando’s take on economics and actual economics are opposites.”
See how that works? I can keep going…
How does that, in any way, apply to the other commentors remark?
You replied with bullshit so I pointed out the fallaciously BS aspect of your reply.
What are you confused about?
How is it bullshit to point out the fact that supporters of Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply, would obviously be critical of printing off more of a fiat currency?
Monkey pictures
People pay money for these.
I read somewhere that he made a few million on them. It blew me away. It does not compute.
It does compute if you realize the buyers were probably foreign governments and businesses. If Trump suddenly gets a $3M check from someone that might raise eyebrows, leak to press, get picked up by law enforcement. Trump makes $3M in sales of an imaginary thing online - well that’s just business.
Okay, that does make more sense.
He's the king of the quick cash injection. He's that last little turd that won't flush, no matter how many frauds and bankruptcies and treasons and sexual assaults he's perpetrated and I Do Not Understand.
No they don’t, shady foreign influencers just launder their payments through this crap.
Mostly I'm a market socialist kind of guy, but some markets need to send the customers straight to the reeducation camps.
Marketing? Advertising?
Their Industry is investement-banking if we're honest
It will never die. Bitcoin will, because it will be killed by the Industry itself since Bitcoins are inherently worthless since they aren't backed up by anything.
“ Orange pill refers to bitcoin’s official color and represents a person’s dedication to bitcoin over fiat currencies.”
And here I thought it was referring to Trump’s color. Perhaps he has been the BTC mascot this whole time?
Let's not allow them to claim this word - "orange pilled" refers to a realisation of the problems with northamerican suburbia!
Wtf, orange pilled was already coined by Not Just Bikes.
Heh
In my circles orangepilled means wanting infrastructure to be like in the Netherlands
NJB! NJB!
What a flock of idiots and assholes.
Fitting that the weird orange felon jumps into yet another scam. That's how he naturally rolls.
... I guess I probably should've seen that coming.
