Why is it an “enormous” difference? Allowing corporate sponsors to finance it somehow makes it more ethical?

I’m doing this over ethical concerns and to avoid conflicts of interest. Totes not because I’m getting out while it’s the best time to do so because of so many suc... er, miners and investors. Yeah, that’s it. Completely.

They’ll find a way.

It won’t be long before many people find out their retirement accounts have invested in bitcoin for them. Some people pay close attention to what funds their 401k is in, others don’t care and yet others may have pensions where they have little to no control.

A form of currency that costs more than 9 households worth of energy per year, is not a good one. We don’t need to literally burn our fuel just to make money in a way that isn’t in any way, shape, or form, going to change poverty. It’ll just shift it.

Bitcoin is fine in theory, in reality and in practice it’s not. There’s so many elements of our economy and situation that are straight up fucked, adding this on to the pile doesn’t help.

The link in the article to the Coinbase dashboard keeps giving me an error, like it’s overloaded. Imagine if NYSE was so volatile you couldn’t even see what was going on.

There was a period of time where I didn’t see any of your articles. I got my hopes up that deadspin had replaced you with a competent writer. Not necessarily a competent football writer...but a competent writer. I’m never getting my hopes up again

Yes, this is clearly a good piece of analysis and not some clickbait nonsense. Also, people who say great players are “butt” are generally smart and good and not intentionally saying something stupid. And finally, it’s great that Deadspin’s soccer coverage consists mostly of unedited blog posts about two men in Spain.

Saying that someone is “butt” in a particular competition based on 10 games, on the heels of a season with 25 goals in that competition, and 285 goals in the last 8 seasons, is really bad analysis.

Perhaps it wasn’t a rape.

No the Champion’s League is nothing like that.

Billy is that you?

The dollar will never tank as long as we have nukes. Period.

Oh, hey, look, another economic bubble created out of thin air by predatory hucksters who will coincidentally pull the rug out from under the whole scam when they’ve got their money, hanging everyone else out to dry.

Tulip bulbs! Get your tulip bulbs!
