I believe it’s a market issue, not Pfizer’s issue. The drug testing and development regulations and requirements cause this as well as the nature of the diseases. These diseases have left a graveyard of companies and treatments and at this time have such a low probability that it doesn’t make financial sense to invest…

Yeah I see what you mean. Not from the south so my perspective is likely wrong. Just trying to give a little consideration for the fact that people are shaped by the culture they are raised in and unfortunately sometimes that culture sucks (I.e. confederate flag waving south).

Okay so almost every person in the south is racist since they almost all have confederate flags somewhere. Not to mention those pictures are from before the country at large decided all people with confederate flags = racists. As I understand it, that flag is an identification with southern pride, which is also…

Quantum computers will have the ability to crack pretty much all encryption used today, including by government agencies like the NSA. In fact, the NSA is actively soliciting new cryptographic solutions that are “quantum proof”. If China develops the first scalable and sufficiently powerful quantum computer, all…

Clearly inevitable? How so? Do you know how long it takes to build a business?

Yes, it’s useless as currency currently. The transaction times are way too long and it’s too volatile. There is nobody using it to transact relative to buying and holding to sell at a higher price.

You are conflating the price of bitcoin with the value of blockchain technology. These have become separated.

I am so frustrated by this entire situation. I have been a believe in blockchain since the beginning and actually had a bunch of bitcoin which I sold for a loss after the first $1k bubble.

Congrats on the miles bro.

And in one fell swoop the airlines have put Bluesmart, Away, Raden and others out of business and fucked over every person who bought one of those bags. Great.

Hell, I’m a VC investor and I’d do this for a cut of the find. You have his contact info?

He should launch an ICO to fund the search effort for his coins, with each coin worth a percentage of the final recovery. Probably a pretty good “investment” as far as ICO’s go honestly...

Robert Schiller’s Checklist for if something is a bubble...

Hmm I get that the utility of cryptocurrencies is tied to the blockchain but why is the nominal price? Like there are advantages (and some disadvantages) but the price should not appreciate like this. If it was a real currency, more would be issued to stabilize the nominal value. Otherwise it’s simply an investment…

Actually the opposite of a hyperinflation nightmare...but still a problem. By adding more currency to circulation, the government can try to match increasing demand for the dollars (size of US economy) to keep the price stable.

I just don’t understand why on earth is the value of the coins tied to the value of the blockchain? That is why we are in a bubble. Blockchain is a totally viable and potentially revolutionary tech, but the rise of the price of the currency doesn’t make rational sense.

So there is literally no advantage over the Anker Soundbuds Slim+ that are $33. They sound pretty great, look much better, are waterproof and have a 7 hour battery life.

I work very closely with a new fertility company (as an investor) that offers parents the ability to screen for and choose non-diseased embryos. Clearly this technology has a great societal use, but it is basically accepted that this use will gradually shift to include the “designer baby” concept.
