Hey @k00b. FYI, this doesn’t seem right. Far too high.

Bitcoin enables the power back in the hands of the Plebs and for people that’s a scary concept when in reality we just want to be left alone to live free.

Voltaire was living in exile in London at a time when anti-French sentiment was at its highest. One day walking through the streets, he found himself surrounded by an angry crowd. “Hang him. Hang the Frenchman,” they yelled.
Voltaire calmly addressed the mob with the following words: “Men of England! You wish to kill me because I am a Frenchman. Am I not punished enough in not being born an Englishman?”
The crowd cheered his thoughtful words, and escorted him safely back to his lodgings.

Roll, you should choose a different nym this one kind of looks like mine at first sight.
reply
who is changing his nym show their instability, hesitance, pussyness
reply
He has a reason for it because some scammer created a very similar looking nym to his and got zapped. So, he's looking for a new nym to prevent this in the future.
reply
That's not the solution

I can’t believe people out there psyop themselves into thinking renting is better than owning.
The return on rent is always -100%

Maybe because it’s not just about ROI?
reply
What about pure ownership? When you don’t own something you are at the landlord’s mercy. Renters often can’t have pets because the landlord doesn’t want deal with pet issues in the property

depends what you are renting / owning. There's a lot of nuance in this.
You can have a car in leasing (renting) and you don't have to care about insurance, damages, taxes etc. And when you want a new one, you just stop the leasing.
Some cases is the same with a house. If your work is temporary in a place you don't want to live forever, why buying a house when you can rent it ?
Even if I want a land... sometimes is better have a long term contract (lifetime lease agreement with usufruct), for better conditions. And again you do not have to deal with all adjacent trouble of owning it.
Just think why all billionaires do not "own" anything in their direct name? All their properties are in trusts names, that they can handle....
reply
I agree but often I hear the perpetual paying someone else for something you can outright own and be responsible for seems to be laughed at in certain circles

Yup. C'mon cat, the empty box is crampin my style!
reply
typical cats. I've spent a lot of money on fancy toys and boxes for cats... they literally don't give a fuck. They like more the "garbage toys" (literally papers and cardboards) than all other "commercial toys". So I stopped wasting money on them.
reply
Yep, for our cats, we make toys of strings, straws and toilet paper centers and they just love them. We have also stuffed used baby socks with soft stuff and catnip that we renew every so often, they won’t quit with those, either.
reply
Oh cool idea with socks!
reply
They follow Natural law of simplicity :) You can't just bribe them and expect them to recognize you as their owner and respect you or obey your orders they just don't give a shit. Man, cats are more sovereign than I thought 😮

I wonder who will be blamed for this by the insurance companies? WHO is responsible for an accident made by a driverless car? What happen when 2 driverless cars have an accident? Especially when the result is a dead man.
