Yet most patented inventions are pretty obvious on how to copy without the need to look at the patent, same with this case. So we have no benefit of "open access to the mechanism" but with the deleterious effect of the…
It is a good thing to be encouraged to saving instead of spending. No one needs incentive to spend. You will spend if you have plenty to spend. Having a currency which gains in value will take you there.
They can make this difference disappear by accepting bitcoin then.
There's no "could be" here. Not wanting to go to jail is a subjective preference. That most people prefer the same thing, does not make value objective. If it did, Bitcoin would also have "objective value" from its…
Value is always and everywhere a subjective phenomenon.
Value is subjective. For me, Bitcoin has value because it can't be inflated, and I can carry it on my head over any country's frontier without governments harassing me because of it. Sure, Bitcoin is a means to an end,…
Yes, that is my understanding. But I'm asking in the case of naked short, which is what is being defended as "superior system" in this thread.
But it will make it more expensive than otherwise to raise capital. That can make or break any company.
And what happens in the shareholder meeting? Would the previous majority shareholder group lose their majority even if they had sold no shares? Or would the new majority shareholders have no decision making power even…
Exactly. It is understandable that having an model of an observer can be useful to a brain. But how/why does that opens a window to an actual observer, and not just a model, is the question. And we only know that - an…
By inner experience, we mean that there's a subject which gets to have perception of such models. There's no need for such subject to exist. For example, most people assume that, so far, computers do not have any inner…
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am anarcho-capitalist, and I have no trouble being absolutist about freedom of speech inside one's own property. So there's that.
There's nothing intrinsically superior to either SCOTUS or any group or organization's interpretation. I'm pretty sure you are able to interpret it as not allowing even in the worst and most extreme cases, you just…
Is allowed under some interpretation of the first amendment. It is not allowed by the first amendement per se.
I don't think the Brazilian government has this responsibility as it is the most at fault for Brazil's lacking free market. Maybe when it becomes a champion on that, removing barriers of entry, protectionism, subsidies…
I'm not denying that it is harder to fake a death than to just order a hit. But if he had a dead man's switch, it could be worth the cost. And with how unusual the whole 'suicide' was, accepting the official story at…
I don't see what is the point of your criticism. Either the epistemological grounds of Austrian economics is correct or it is not. It should not matter what austrians feel about central banking.
You can predict trends, not laws, using large groups observation. Austrians would not deny that. Trends are not a useful tool for economic policy, are only good tools for entrepreneurship.
I may be way of my field here, but my understanding is that the whole point of the Austrian school is that human behavior is (purposeful, but) unpredictable. This is a testable claim, and you can bother to observe,…
If you are expecting a currency crisis, the best asset to buy may be gold. And people having been buying it a lot lately.
A functional government? Does this even exist?
Privately owned courts do not have the institutional force of the state, their decision is as strong as their reputation.
Only if the billionaires don't spend, invest or hold it in a bank. Any of the three, it will go back to the market and result in inflation.
I make "no perfect market" or "perfect information" assumption. I am pretty confident that people will take stupid risks, as I am confident that people who want to be safe - buying from reputable sources - will be able…
The other drug market has fewer people selling than otherwise, at a higher price (for the quality) than otherwise. I'm not sure how you are able to the opposite conclusion.
