wonder what made them suspect the big gulp cup lol
i've switched back to solo mining because the payout is too low to be worth it in pools, just a fun little accessory that connects me to bitcoin.
i can't see how a bitaxe would raise the temp in a room so much that you would need an aircoin, and where I am we're getting 30-35 degrees ( 86–95°F) daily and my bitaxe just runs all day, well, when im in my office room
I'm no therapy expert, but I feel like if your main goal is having someone you can unload all the baggage on, you probably will have more leeway in selection than if you were like manic, bpd and were stalking hookers etc
That should help with the initial trial and error, as maybe the key will be finding a person that you are comfortable sounding off etc
that's what we did. i'll check the transactions, pretty sure she sent some and then we forgot about it
Definitely an interesting idea, and great if you are selected for it as a cop! maybe if it's successful, other countries will roll out something similar
i think i do , in general, but there are limits. By default, we can't 'grow' all the time. the better you get at something, the more demanding each % increase becomes, and at some point you might need to reassess if the juice is worth the squeeze.
things can get weird and toxic. people get too extreme. Gotta do your best, look for ways to improve, and be open to honest feedback.

i've seen a lot of arguments that say gov printing to respond to crisis usually creates a bigger one down the road
i can see economic flex being an issue for sure
if true it works out at less than 10 dollars a head, that's a good deal. but does this deal actually exist or are the guests getting a taste of shrinkflation lol
it's just a theoretical question, doesn't matter why it failed or ended per se.
it's like asking, what would the world be like if the Nazis won the war, nobody is debating who won or why, who was the better army, it's a hypotehtical question
the simple fact is that for thousands of years, gold was the best form of money, and it wasn't because a gov said so, it was because people valued it.
King's clipping it etc, just speaks to the constant desire of rulers and govs to debase to enrich themsevls.
Anyway, i'm not a gold bug, this was just a question to see if people thought the world would be a better place if there was a hard money standard, imperfections and all
no point asking, would the world be better on a btc standard because it would just be a simple 'yes'
yeah, politicians will always be the same, too bad they have nothing limiting or restraining them now
That's being dramatic, many of the most prosperous periods in world history happened under some form of the gold standard - including the Industrial Revolution.
Shit, the world was on a gold standard for thousands of years.
Maybe what failed wasn't gold, but the governments' not being able to control themselves because, if nothing else, gold limited how much their ability to blatantly print.
