If the money in my bank losing value is robbery, isn't Bitcoin robbing me all the time? Bitcoin price changes may not be intentional, but I don't see why that should matter to me.

> You see, Bitcoin was created after the 2008 crash where the banks, the organizations we've trusted with our money for a century, made some deliberate and knowingly poor decisions and they lost a lot of money for many of us.

I hadn't heard about that. Which banks lost their customers' money in the 2008 crash?

This includes a lot of crypto-crypto volume. Just in the top ten, there's $168m Bitcoin Gold, $145m of Bitcoin Cash, $95m of something called "PowerLedger" that I'm hearing of now for the first time, and $84m of Neo.

Is this real trading activity, or is it people discovering that there's no feasible way to trade USD directly for the meme coin du jour?

Where are you getting this number from?

Copyright can't protect ideas, only specific expressions of them. If my code contains a brilliant and truly novel idea for efficient data storage, you're free to write your own code implementing that idea without violating my coyright.

If you own seven apartments with an average rent of $1k, your yearly revenue (not profit!) is $84,000. That's microscopic by any reasonable standard of company size.

I think that, if a random Google engineer wrote an essay about why climate change isn't real, it would be weird and inappropriate to insist something be done about it.
