  • I think crypto is dumb as hell but by this logic, how are any speculative assets not Ponzi schemes then? I’d argue that by definition, it’s not a ponzi. How could it be? What entity is controlling and organizing the flow of money in such a way that investors are repaid FIFO? Not only that but there’s zero guarantee based on position in line that you’ll make any amount of money relative to that position — a guarantee you’d likely have in most Ponzi schemes.

    Idk. There are a lot of reasons to hate blockchains and bitcoin but trying to label it as something is fundamentally is not seems counterproductive and disingenuous.










  • Idk, this is the one that’s flying at my local police dept… maybe there are more but I haven’t seen them tbh

    Have you read the flag code? This part is interesting:

    The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

    One could argue that filtering to black and white is in itself a violation of the code lol

    Personally I don’t care and you can wipe your ass with a flag if you want. It’s conservatives who I thought were all about respecting flags. Then yall go and grayscale it and add a random line? Ugh
