Meanwhile...the government is going to shut down next week. Time to lose your medicare, medicaid and social security, just in time for Christmas!

So this definitely seems like some dipshit negotiating tactic he learned from some faux-alpha-male fraud back in the 70's, the business equivalent of negging that’s been rejected by every person who understands competent negotiating (“Insult your opponents ahead of the negotiation! Make them think there is no deal…

And the future! I think we’re more likely to be reminiscing about the days when we didn’t need protective suits to leave our vaults and cockroaches were something we exterminated rather than hunted.

So, I’m starting to realize that in a few years I’m going to be that old person who sits there and bores the youngins with stories of how in my day you could use the internet any way you wanted and everyone had the right to vote. And you could walk down the street without seeing an ICE agent kicking someones door down…

Side note: what about this bullshit of putting their names in quotes? He generally does this for wiggle room like when he claimed (100% false) he had his “wires tapped”. I get he’s doing the musty, late-80’s Alpha-Dick move of calling them by their first names instead of Senators Schumer and Pelosi, like any …

“Meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal!”

“Chuck and Nancy,” as the president refers to them, backed out of a government funding meeting with Mr. Big Boy Dealmaker today after he said prior to the meeting, on Twitter, that “I don’t see a deal!”

I mean seriously, how can they be so shortsighted? This is likely to throw us into a Blue Wave in 2018, once people see their tax bill. Isn’t passing no legislation better than horrible legislation with long-term election consequences?

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

Haha, no. It’s guaranteed to depreciate, by about 3% every year, that’s called inflation. The dollar is maintained by the interest rate our government imposes on it. A bitcoin is not maintained by any entity, it could be $20k or $0.002…

And how much is $1mm?

So there is someone sitting on 100 million dollars waiting to buy your bitcoin in one lump sum. That has the cash on hand? Whenever you want to sell? Your entire sum?......Sure

If I had 10,000 Beanie Babies in a rubbermaid tub, I could sell them right now on eBay or Craigslist or a flea market for ~$100 in USD, extract my cash and dump it into a checking account and literally have $100. It’s not like my money is trapped in Beanie Babies or even in plush collectables.

If the dollar collapses, Bitcoin will have evaporated long before that, as will computer networks, power grids, etc.

-While your explanation about money having value is correct, your argument for why bitcoin has “no value” isn’t. Just as an example, if someone steals my wallet, but I don’t know who...what happens? No one is giving me my cash back from that wallet. Bitcoin is similar here: if you can track who stole bitcoins, they…

The real difference is that if someone steals my dollar, the dollar doesn’t lose value it is just not “mine” anymore. The problem with Bitcoin is that it is completely arbitrary and speculative, the value is not fixed to any actual physichal economy or nation. It is completely unsecured.

But what are they backed by?

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.

I personally know someone who just sold over $1mm in bitcoin they bought originally for less than $5000. What about that is not real?

No, you could TRY to sell them right now... and as soon as enough people TRY to sell them, then we’ll see the crash happen.
