you can’t spend a treasury note or a bond at the store, but you can redeem it for money, so it has value.

That said, it is a currency. I can walk down the street and buy a slice of pizza with bitcoin.

Google it. I’m not here to do your research for you.

“Bitcoins are better than currency. All you have to do is convert it to currency (that I’m scared will become worthless at some point) and you’re good to go.”

In theory, if I had 1 BTC in my wallet I could exchange it right now for the going rate, withdraw the money, and go to the store.

You. Can. Convert. Your. BTC. To. USD. Instantly.

Then guess what, you have spendable money!

So if I were to offer to legitimately give you 1 BTC you wouldn’t be excited?

The government prints $560 million a day....the dollar is guaranteed to collapse.

Yeah, I want to go high when they go low, but that shit isn’t working anymore. So if these motherfuckers’ lives are ruined, I don’t give a shit. They literally asked for it by marching with white supremacist symbols.

your right to free speech, contrary to what many many many idiots in this country have somehow NEVER learned, does not mean right to say whatever you want and then be shocked that there are consequences for it that AREN’T just “you can’t say that.”

I don’t know, I see what you’re saying with women’s magazines having always had that fluff-tone and I agree but I think the issue is now, the CONTENT is different. Cosmo and the like don’t talk about political issues period. Now they’re stamping all over new turf and not only are they watering down the message across…

It’s the Republican “everything he did was fine until he came for me and mine” logic.

White men are always afforded the opportunity to fail upwards.

None of this is true. According to Facebook and Fox News, these pipelines are being constructed to fight terrorism, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and to liberty our freedom. Opposing these pipelines, according to Facebook, means you want to ban recess for kids because pussification participation trophy. …

Schadenfreude is almost definitely literally the only thing keeping me from crying right now. I look forward to all of the buyer’s remorse we are about to see. I don’t think they realize that sticking it to the left is going to mean they’re fucking themselves over at the same time.

Everyone has lied to me, everyone has deceived me… the SS has left me in the lurch. The German people have not fought heroically. It deserves to perish… it is not I who have lost the war, but the German people
