Comment Also up... gold and silver... (Score 1) 82

To me Bitcoin long term is still kind of iffy, but if you want something ELSE to help you escape the traditional monetary system, there is gold and silver which are also up quite a but for the year, even the past year, and moving higher.

You can also get crypto backed by gold or silver as well if you want an electronic form. Just make sure you get a form actually backed by real metals in vaults.

I expect the fertility rate in the US to rise due to the following:

  • * Lack of contraception (I expect SCOTUS to reverse Griswold)
  • * Increased child mortality due to lower vaccination rates, and epidemics of "eliminated" childhood diseases
  • * Lack of education as more school boards are taken over by religious fundamentalists.

It should be obvious that changing a 0 to a 1 (whether or not one swaps other digits) is not cutting a zero off the price. The normal price is not $3490.99, either.

Yeah, the snark is high in this thread.

But in all seriousness, $3,499 really is an order of magnitude too expensive to compete against Quest at $499. If they had game availability that could compete with Quest, they might be able to get away with more like $750, but not $3.5k, or even $2k, realistically. It's just way too overpriced for something that in practice is only usable for gaming.

About 10(?) years ago, I was at a Gabriel Iglesias show at PHX (known at the time as Talking Stick) Arena.

He had literally just asked everyone in the arena to turn off their cell phones, when every single phone in the arena went off... Amber Alert. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.
