  • The problem is that if I have bitcoin, I can’t fucking spending it as currency, now can I? I’ll hate myself tomorrow when it’s gone up 2x.

    So if everyone has bitcoin, everyone HODLs, no currency changes hands and the economy just dies because nobody buys or sells anything.

    The minor inflation in EUR or USD accomplishes the exact opposite: Money keeps changing hands. The rich, obviously, want to keep everything they have. But oh look, if you just hoard it, it keeps slowly losing value over time! Now these rich assholes (along with anyone else who has significant savings) have to invest their money if they want it to keep value or even appreciate in value - and when it’s invested, that means someone else can actually do something with the money.











  • There may have been a period in my late teens after I’d read an article about them running out of condoms where I wanted to become an elite athlete so I could go to the Olympics just for the fuckfests. Teenage me was obviously hoping to score with someone from the Brazilian volleyball team or something.

    Well now, despite having the genes for it (and no, this is not a joke; I have more genetic potential for athletic performance than at least 90% of the population, as does my entire family, which does include Olympic athletes), I never had the discipline. But then I found a woman who I’m crazy about and this has lasted slightly longer than an Olympic fuckfest, so I reckon I’m not missing out on all that much. Though I suppose an orgy with a bunch of super fit people is never going to be in the cards for me, but I’ll survive.
