Um, many employers care very much. This pattern of job hopping is a red flag at many firms.

I think the replies critical of your comment are unfair. In my read, it is not critical of depressed people. To be depressed _is_ to be very self absorbed. It isn't a character flaw, it's a result of the condition.

The advice to make yourself do things can be helpful. Speaking personally, in periods of depression I have left the house less because of pessimism about how good a time it would be, or whether it'd be worthwhile. It's helpful, if you can, to ignore those feelings and make yourself do things, for the simple fact that it's good for you.

As you say, "if you can" is the rub.

There's also lots of hype from people reassuring everyone that the coins they just happen to have invested in are rock solid, with nothing to back their arguments up.

It seems like this guy has done a few things most lawyers would advise against.

"Any adult can vote" is the best rule. Any restriction, no matter how innocuous it sounds, can and will be abused to disenfranchise voting blocs those in power don't like.

Desirable for whom?

I welcome it. I'd much rather have a crowded field than what we had in the last election on the Democratic side - a field emptied by the presence of a dominant presumptive nominee. More competition is a good thing.

Can you expand on how alternative currencies can help economically depressed communities? I can see the use case of getting money out of poorly managed fiat currencies, as with Greece or Venezuela, but I don't think Detroit's economic problems have anything to do with the dollar itself.

The linked blog mentions Detroit, but doesn't go into much detail.

This seems to reinforce the analogy rather than rebut it. Your coins can still very suddenly go from being worth X worth of goods or services to .01X. It's maybe even worse with crypto, since the only things you can currently buy are dollars or other coins.

The ability to "shape shift" your declining currency to better ones assumes you can out-speculate the market in knowing when to exit, and which coins to buy.

500 GB a day doesn't sound like the kind of adoption that justifies a market worth hundreds of millions of dollars though.
