Absolutely. Oil affects many things, but saying Bitcoin is directly related to oil is a stretch. It’s a speculative asset, not tied to oil price fluctuations.

You can’t just avoid real estate because of potential disasters. They’re unpredictable and can strike anywhere.

Exactly. AI is taking jobs. But if everyone loses their jobs, who’s gonna buy the AI products? If we're heading towards an economy where profit isn't the main focus, where does that leave us?

From an accounting view, it can be classified differently depending on how it's used in business.

Social media is misleading. Not everyone cashes in. Even OnlyFans? Only a handful make real money. Most folks just scrape by. It’s like the stock market; they need users to sell. I’ve seen stats saying Gen Z is falling…

I’m seeing the opposite. This competition is pushing them to outdo each other. Google’s investing heavily in AI while Microsoft got sidetracked with OpenAI. Apple is a whole different beast; they’ve carved out their…

Isn't uncertainty just a side effect of high taxes and inflation? Everything’s intertwined, and it ultimately affects our quality of life while some just keep getting richer.

Yeah, but then the bees get tired of the beekeeper stealing their honey, right? Then there's a revolt, and it all starts over again. History proves elites never learn from the past, they just repeat the mistakes.

Haha totally agree! Being an early investor is key, just look at Bitcoin. But this whole thing feels like a heist. History shows that robbers eventually get caught. Maybe it’s just not their time yet.

What we’re seeing now is probably the end result of the post-WWII system. Global rules are like empty promises. If some can break them without consequences, why not everyone?

Trump’s mindset seems to be that annexing Greenland is a must, or Russia might swoop in. The locals don’t even realize how ‘lucky’ they’d be to join the US… like, really?

According to some chatter, Greenland could be worth around 200-250 million. But why not just give each resident a million? That’d be 57 billion total. Just imagine a referendum! Who wouldn’t want that cash?

Marx predicted this back in the day. Funny how capitalism turned out just like he said. Monopolies will keep sucking up small businesses unless there's government intervention.

Interesting! There have been ideas to operate without money, but they always hit walls. Money has value and creates capital barter can’t replace that.

Heard that rich folks are buying up land in NZ and building secret bunkers stocked with food and water. Sounds like they’re prepping for doomsday or something. If nuclear war breaks out, everyone else is gonna be toast,…

But can we really say Iran is winning just because the US is hurting? They’ve suffered a lot too, you know.

No surprise here. Higher efficiency often means lower sustainability. For example, the Japanese just-in-time production model is great for profits but super fragile. One logistics hiccup can break the whole system.

Exactly, he’s not even doing P2P. He’s acting like a central bank, printing shares rather than real currency. His shares are backed by Bitcoin but you can’t actually demand the Bitcoin, which feels off.

The market’s changing, but it’s still pretty traditional underneath. People trust influencers more than doing their own research.

I think I get it. Users get tokens as a dollar equivalent, without claiming any income from the reserves. It’s just the issuer’s choice of collateral. They could use cash or T-bills it’s their prerogative. But income…
