  1. You think the IDF is wandering around Gaza looking for bodies to count?
  2. What percentage of the reported casualties are direct or indirect human shields, for whom Hamas is responsible? Did they factor that into the analysis before declaring Israel is responsible for these deaths?
  3. If you are suggesting that there we are going to order a pizza in Satoshis, nobody is arguing that. The normal unit of currency will always be dollars, except as you point out for large transactions like houses. However, you will absolutely be able to swipe a POS sale application and pay with BTC. It may be as simple as large banks allow you to pay your credit card statement with BTC. However, there are already a few POS BTC applications from small companies. I don't think the Lightning Layer 2 solution is technically ready yet, but there is VERY little reason to believe it can't be worked out. And by worked out, I mean it solves the transaction cost problem one way or another. The tax thing is a complete nonissue. Now, probably YOU won't be buying stuff in BTC. But there are >50 million Americans, many of whom hold highly large volumes appreciated BTC. You could be right, big companies no longer care about profits. However, I think they do. Now that large institutions are involved it is only a matter of time.
  4. So let me see if I understand you. 1. The price has bitcoin has increase a lot (more money to spend). 2. Ownership of Bitcoin is expanding from a small niche to a very broad ownership base (more people to spend money). 3. Large institutions, for the first time ever, have an interest in the success of Bitcoin (resources to develop). 4. Bitcoin is receiving tremendous "free advertising" (FOMO). 5. Technology is making new POS technology easier by the day. Having evaluated the wherefors and whathaveyous, you decided based on these facts that there is basically no chance in hell anyone will develop a POS Bitcoin application to spend the increasing billions people have accumulated in capital gains. Do I have this right?
  5. Who are ten guys who have never been in my kitchen?
  6. Nothing about Westwood Mall was for the win. And I am counting the Gold Mine where I played all those terrible video games.
  7. You guys really buy that nonsense? LOL It's obviously fake.
  8. They should bring back Sumlin. Not joking at all.
  9. All these guys have visited College Station. That is more than enough to clarify the decision.
  10. LOL Nick is a genius. STD guy plays and Bama wins.
  11. Moldova, small as it is, could easily expel the Russians. They have every incentive to do it. There are 1-2k Russians in the Transnistria region but there are more than enough Moldovan police and military to arrest those guys and eject them from the country at any time. The problem is that Russia has them over an economic barrel. They provide almost all of the gas and fuel that keeps the place running. It's the same for almost all the republics, they hate Russia. Somebody has to be willing to go first, then the Russian Federation collapses. Good to see at least Moldovans are making diplomatic moves in the right direction.
  12. Somebody just needs to explain to Dominick that the team is his family, and his job is to protect his family. Maybe his mom should go to the practice, and she can stop practice to show him how to use his protective instinct, and he will become an NFL starter. It's all just a matter of Sandra Bullock staging an intervention, really. Should be easy, she's a Longhorn fan.
