Who needs school when we have TikTok?

Now that they've gotten rid of this woke DEI nonsense, they can spend 10x as much on some more wholesome and less-indoctrinating educational materials! /s

I don't think it's possible to make a less nuanced and less coherent argument than this. At best, you're telling on yourself.

As opposed to the open corruption on display with the President personally involving himself in making sure the deal resolves in favor of a major financial backer.

I suppose you have nothing to say about that.

Unless you use a crypto that actually encrypts the blockchain in which case no mixing needed.

Pedantic: Most theories posit that DM interacts weakly with the EM field.

But we do not yet know

(IIUC, there is a finite nonzero coupling constant between *any* two QM fields)

Only stupid people launder money with Bitcoin. SHUM!

OFC this actually exists: magic Bean Coin. It was an inflationary coin (holding coins generated more coins). I met one of the developers a few years ago. He was a really smart thoughtful principled guy. Just chose a really weird goal to throw himself into and not much formal economics education (but lots of "alternative economics"). I just checked first time in a decade, the 24 hour volume was like six bucks and the project webpage is gone

Think about it for a few more seconds with your engineering hat on. The use case Bitcoin is designed for is peer-to-peer electronic cash. Internet money transfers, with no central authority.

That has two parts:

1. Internet money transfer
2. No central authority

Number 1 has been a solved problem for over a decade now. Between credit cards, ApplePay/Venmo/PayPal/CashApp/etc etc, cash transfer over the internet is virtually instantaneous and acceptably small cost.

Number 2 is of absolutely no interest to governments. They want a central payments authority, the ability to sanction, reverse, etc etc.

Crypto is an attempt to solve a usecase that governments do not have

It is what religion is. Faith. Belief without evidence. They very definition of stupidity and the source of much evil
