You are missing a lot on what bitcoin actually is and what it could be (because it can change)... which is hopefully why it will keep an edge on other cryptos.

when you short a stock, you don't own it... you sell it, and owe it. I know that the stock market is screwed up, but I think that they know that.

That whole GME thing is not stupid... institutions are holding 106% of GME stocks... not sure how much non-institutions are holding. What is stupid is what the government is allowing institutions to do.

> % Held by Institutions 106.22

I appreciate all of your work but I think that you are wrong with this comment... I think that talking about leaving platforms that have monopolies can spur innovation.

A true open wireless mesh network is what the internet needs to become to overcome censorship and similar issues.

And the refresh button disappeared in the latest Firefox (v84.0.2)? I have to use F5, but still 404s 80% of the time... looks like a similar problem that Twitter has been having for months (sometimes it says "content is not available to you" unless you refresh).

If you pay $17,000 more fore the electric car, it would take many years to pay for itself... maybe too many.

Bitcoin is whatever the majority decides... They could also increase the supply if they wanted to, or whatever other change comes to mind? Think of it as Bitcoin 3.0, 4.0, etc...
