JonathanThere seem to be a lot of people in the world who cannot bring themselves to understand that there are a lot of other people in the world that have absolutely no morals.

Trixter of the Moon CouncilIt’s wild how fast I lost interest in space travel when it stopped being presented as a collective accomplishment and became a competition between a handful of morally bankrupt white men.

Andrew LokenauthThe wealthy avoid taxes using the “Buy-Borrow-Die” strategy:
Step 1: Buy assets and hold (to avoid capital gains taxes from selling)
Step 2: Borrow money from Banks for living expenses using assets as collateral, at low interest rates (while assets appreciate)
Step 3: Interest paid on borrowed money is a tax write off
Step 4: Wait and repeat. The long-term gains on assets outweigh the short-term cost of borrowing money
Step 5: Pass assets to kids, tax-free (with stepped-up basis) and repeat

JA WestenbergHere's the thing.
I have spent 4 years working in and on crypto.
When I criticise it, I know what I'm talking about.
I was drawn in by the idea of a new financial system that didn't rely on traditional banks. I was excited by the idea of rebuilding digital ownership in a post-streaming world.
In the end, I came to realise my idealism had blinded me. The philosophy was largely false.
And outweighed by the scams, thefts, fraud and grift.
TenI went to the doctor and he asked me for a stool sample, so I pulled out a small chair from my bag.
The doctor told me to go away and stop wasting his time but I'm still no closer to finding out why I'm shitting furniture.
The nightmare continues.
