Every time I talk to an "economist" with any kind of a degree I give thanks to Eru Iluvatar that he spared me from such a dreadful fate. They don't know anything
As the reward for the best meme has dropped from many sats to fewer sats to cowboy credits to a shout out, the quantity and quality of the memes have both declined spectacularly.
Need a new incentive here
Shut up idiot, you're fucking retarded. If I can use it to get more Bitcoin into my cold storage what the fuck is the difference you moron. Not every single use case needs unilateral exit you clown. People use different services for different purposes and they don't all need to have the exact same trade-offs dumbass
It's ok not to use it because you disagree with the tradeoffs involved, and it's fine to criticize the model based on your preferences.
But it is still Bitcoin. It's just a way to use Bitcoin that you don't like. It's not like gift cards at all. The money in your gift card can't be withdrawn, isn't interoperable with your bank account, can't work in other stores even if they want to accept them, the analogy doesn't work.
I think you're doing the Lord's work by highlighting the pros and cons, but saying it's not Bitcoin is really not correct.
Shut up Darth, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, of course it's Bitcoin you dumbass, learn how to write English properly fucking moron, doesn't even know what's Bitcoin and what isn't.
Appreciate you man. And I want to mention, since I said "it's hard for people who haven't lived there", that the fact that you haven't lived there or aren't from there doesn't matter at all. I hate how people just dismiss the opinions of non-venezuelans. I have opinions about Qatar and Israel and Australia. Don't need to be from a place to have an opinion about it.
None of us are under any delusions that trump loves us or even cares at all. We're just happy to reap the benefits, cautious about the future, and hopeful for the first time in a quarter century
Yea that's what I'm getting from most people.
I don't see it that way. It's hard for someone who hasn't live it to know just how fucked we were.
"Definitely bad" to "maybe bad, maybe good, maybe neutral, who knows" feel like an unbelievable improvement.
I remember the 2024 elections, every single Latino I know was SO excited to finally get maduro out, except the Venezuelans. We all knew. Every one of us had lost all hope.
Just 1 example of this, my friend who lives in Toronto
I don't see how this is any worse than what we had last week?
Not like we've seen any benefits from our own oil in decades. Pillaged by Cuba. The country had no semblance of "stability" whatsoever.
We were already fucked beyond belief. How are we any worse off now?
I'm Venezuelan.
The situation is extremely complicated, it could go either way, very good or very bad.
This is a massive improvement over last week when things were extremely simple. We were very simply fucked indefinitely.
As for what comes next, there's no certainty, only opportunity.
But finally.. opportunity
Yea, that's effectively a "no".
Commercial banks and the central bank take advantage of stupid laws to steal property from people in the form of purchasing power.
You take advantage of stupid laws to steal property from people in the form of housing.
You're no different. Just a common thief. You belong in prison with the rest of the criminal scum.
You're no Bitcoiner. We respect private property. You are the enemy.
Like.. do these places have any legitimate owners? Or is it like a property of the state?
If legitimate owners, do you have a mutual agreement that both parties consented to?
Great question.
I'd define it as follows:
A system for the production and distribution of scarce resources which have alternative uses that guarantees private property, free exchange, and the enforcement of contracts.
What about you?
