Wait, am I missing something here? The ONLY way for any government to escape their massive debt is inflation. The US is no different from other countries that used the pandemic as an excuse to prop all kind of…
Facenook, Meta, Google and others will slowly but surely get the squeeze in any way possible. They did EVERYTHING they could to get away from privacy laws. Their sleazy attitude, they contempt for regulators "we have…
Wait, I don't get it. Big tech companies don't park servers in the EU. Is it THAT difficult? Of course it is not, and they just don't want to do it. On the other hand, big tech companies are happy to park their IP in…
Damn, that's a stupid article - another one - from Forbes. Entrepreneur is a French word, and entreprise is company in French. Jean-Baptiste Say coined the word 250 years ago.…
I am way way older than you are. I went through episodes like that multiple times. There was always a trigger, work related or personal. This is depression. Seek medical help. Find a good therapist to talk you. Get…
I disagree with your assessment that Bitcoin is worthless: 1. Can't get any better for money laundering, just add a sprinkle of Tornado Cash or whatever your favorite tumbler is today. 2. Great speculation token on a…
I am falling off my chair. There is something fishy going on here, or wacko. Or I just don't get it.
Sorry, I just saw your comment. I just replied above.
I am sorry about my semi sarcastic comment on bitcoin. I apologize. But bitcoin is portrayed "as a storage of value" and I wanted to show a REAL case where in fact GOLD was a real storage of value 200 years laters.
The insurance company paid the claim to the owner of the shipb, or whomever bought the insurance contract. This is how Lloyds of London got started. The insurers are entitled to recovery. It happens in the case of mink…
I was indirectly involved in such a discovery in the 80s. A Spanish Galleon had been found in the Atlantic, off the SouthEast coast of the US, by a private, commercial, diving expedition. Gold was found (it may have…
First, hats off to "Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement". I looked them up, it is a research lab based in France https://www.lsce.ipsl.fr/Phocea/Vie_des_labos/Ast/ast_servic... They do research but…
Thanks! I learned something new today.
I remember when Mercedes Benz bought Freightliner, the major US truck manufacturer,in the 80s. The Mercedes Benz engineeers were astonished to see how UN-sophisticated the engineering of Freightliner trucks was.…
In a previous life I was involved in K&R (kidnap & ransom) insurance. You just pay the ransom and never recover your money, so you price the insurance contracts accordingly. The police: "we don't prosecute those crimes"…
Agree, lots of options. Nexus Mtual and others focus on smart contracts on a protocol, rug pulls, and de-pegging risk. Our target: consumers buying and selling NFTs and crypto. As I said when we launch I'll be scared to…
Agree.
Got it, the trust level is pretty low when you the very basic due diligence. I think Nexus Lexus is legit. They had to in order to get UK clearance. But I understand that they want to demutualize now and become a DAO.…

Agree. Very hard for regulators (=protect the consumer) to keep up with it. I compare that to the massive fires we have in California, so big that only the rain coming in November saves the bacon.
You have to compare that to the equivalent of the float in stocks. Most crypto holdings are not that liquid and come from early backers. If the big holders (mostly pump and dump) sell, the market will collapse.
We are working on an insurance product for crypto. :-( The more we dig into it the more scams we find. Everywhere. Wash trading, click baiting, pump and dump, code is law, etc. You will find the biggest bazaar there is…
Gee, I pulled out many years ago. Sounds like FB is going the Yahoo route, just down, trying to catch up to others.
Here is how things work in the US. Sarcastic tone in my reply… Round one: this is great Hardware equipment for farmers (funded by John Deere and Caterpillar) lobbyists hard at work. Round two: here is a water down…
Same here. Unbearable. Stupid suggestions. It has become close to worse than my old yahoo.com email address that I used for junk requests.
