You conscripting a painting or something?

2018-11-14 20:27:27 UTC  

@Nerv - VA Could be risky since it's only real use is criminals and political dissidents, but, at the same time, it has a very real use case that other cryptocurrencies don't

Because the USD only slowly, marginally and predictably changes in value, you will use it as a currency over the BTC that has none of these traits. 20 dollars in bitcoin changes rapidly to where it's useless as a method of exchange for anything you can buy with USD, and so it's not a crypto"currency" that'll end the Fed like the true believers want it to be

Okay, since some of you are wondering why anyone would crypto over your "regular dollars", I'll give you some reasons
> Some cryptocurrencies can be used to execute smart contracts, which is like a decentralized version of Amazon Web Services.
> Some of them have lower fees and transaction times than credit cards.
> They can't be manipulated by a central bank. Probably not that pertinent to you, but great for people in Venezuela.

@Patrick Why should I buy a pizza if I can buy stocks?

2018-11-14 20:31:33 UTC  

Because you're hungry and it's Friday night

2018-11-14 20:31:49 UTC  

Doesn't that happen to crypto users, too?

2018-11-14 20:31:53 UTC  

You're not going to use bitcoin to pay for it though

2018-11-14 20:32:07 UTC  

I know, because Bitcoin sucks

2018-11-14 20:32:28 UTC  

But if some decent cryptocurrency became popular enough that pizza places were accepting it, I don't see why I wouldn't use it

2018-11-14 20:33:13 UTC  

I wouldn't use it if it's anything close to as volatile as every cryptocurrency is today, because I would be losing out on everything that cryptocurrency could be worth in the future

2018-11-14 20:33:37 UTC  

Comparing this to USD, where I know it'll be only ever so slightly worse in the same amount of time gone by

2018-11-14 20:33:47 UTC  

You're already losing out on everything that potential investments could be worth in the future by spending dollars

2018-11-14 20:34:22 UTC  

If you choose to buy a pizza, aren't you missing out on the crazy stock market gains you could be making with those dollars?

Is this picture pro-Semitic, or anti-semitic?

2018-11-14 20:35:33 UTC  

what does that even mean?

2018-11-14 20:36:03 UTC  

"everybody" vote = more Dem voters

2018-11-14 20:36:09 UTC  

I don’t know. Jews. They just look evil.

2018-11-14 20:36:25 UTC  

He looks inspiring and driven in this picture

2018-11-14 20:37:12 UTC  

The light focuses on him, instead of away from, like what they did to Bannon in his 60 minutes interview to cast shadow on his eyes

2018-11-14 20:40:39 UTC  

these guys really didn't think it through, did they?

2018-11-14 20:41:14 UTC  

It would be game over for us as a country if they let illegals vote.

2018-11-14 20:41:22 UTC  

They aren't sending their best, folks.

2018-11-14 20:46:47 UTC  

They're sending their crime

2018-11-14 20:46:51 UTC  

They're rapists

2018-11-14 20:47:17 UTC  

Is there a fireside tonight?

2018-11-14 20:47:40 UTC  

@Singleton Mosby WV I believe it's every single Wednesday unless they say otherwise

2018-11-14 20:48:04 UTC  

Understood.

2018-11-14 20:48:09 UTC  

Yep. Fireside is on tonight lads

2018-11-14 20:50:22 UTC  

everybody vote - ever

2018-11-14 20:50:54 UTC  

my brain is thinking of all the deceased people who ended up on ballots 🤔

2018-11-14 20:53:23 UTC  

You don’t lose your right to vote just because you die. Stop trying to suppress the vote.

2018-11-14 20:58:40 UTC  

Trump should veto any budget that doesn't fund the wall.

2018-11-14 21:03:14 UTC  

@Hakujin - CA Then they'll blame him for the prolonged government shutdown. He can't win either way.

2018-11-14 21:04:42 UTC  

honestly

2018-11-14 21:04:44 UTC  

who cares

2018-11-14 21:04:49 UTC  

immigration is the only issue that matters

2018-11-14 21:05:40 UTC  

@Jacob True. It impacts literally every other issue on top of that.

2018-11-14 21:08:58 UTC  

Immigration is far from the only issue that matters.
