Who cares if advertising people spend money on fake info?
Because it's money that could be spent elsewhere. Like compensation for employees, or new machinery, or bigger offices, etc. Or it could not be spent at all. Who do you think pays for this? You do. You seem perfectly happy paying more for goods and services so that companies can throw your money away. Well done, consumer.
Are you kidding? I'm sure their contract allows them to keep deposits or charge for damages. Profits might actually increase for them this quarter. They get to renew their stock of cameras at the renters' expense.
I can only conclude you do not know what you are talking about at all when it comes to actually selling bitcoin for traditional currency.
I can conclude that no one is "actually selling bitcoin for traditional currency" - hence the geometric increase in price. Buyers far outweigh sellers. For now.
Obviously you think you're right and I'm wrong, so what point would there be in sharing anything? Let me continue to be wrong, and you go ahead and make all your right moves and we'll all agree that I'm an idiot who knows nothing. If that's not the case then it's even worse and you think there's some sort of trick, game or scheme to "beat" the market. Save yourself some pain and some money and realize that there isn't. All there is is hard work.
Only in your mind. You must be a pretty terrible scientist. You assigned me the identity of beancounter. Next you use this assignment to explain your superiority. Congrats with your hypothesis - except of course if your first assumption is false, everything that follows is also false. I am no beancounter. I also am a scientist. But you see intelligent people enjoy educating themselves across many fields. I'll let you work out what your aversion to learning for yourself says about you.
His last couple books were crap, and I say that as a fan who has bought/read them all. But considering what he was facing it's understandable and I didn't hold it against him.
Stock prices are driven by an expanding economy and an expanding monetary supply. Bitcoin is driven by expanding greed - which I agree is unlimited, however available money to pile in to a bubble is not unlimited. When greed > money, bitcoin comes crashing down. Just like stock markets and economies come crashing down.
Nope, I give it a good couple years yet. The bubble pops when the last idiot isn't willing to pay 1 million for a BTC, and the idiot before him is wondering how come he can't get his money out.
one of those things in life you'll either stand idle by and watch it like it was a show, you'll think "oh why - oh why did I not invest when it was new and cheap"
Kind of like the stock market. Why didn't I buy Apple before the 7:1 stock split. Why didn't I buy Google. Why didn't I buy Amazon. Why didn't I buy Ali Baba - oh wait, that one I did.
But it's ok. Life is a lifetime of missed opportunities. And then you die. The point of life is enjoying the opportunities you DID seize.

Which is naive. Next you're going to suggest that we physicians should listen to our patients... hint: how can we treat unconscious people?
Problem is advertising people really don't care. They are given money to spend and by god, they are going to spend it.

If you think it's possible to only gain in the stock market, then you certainly don't know what you are doing.
Of course not. However it is also possible to offload the risk onto someone else. The problem is not the stock market, it's the trader's own greed.
They even publish a list of approved modems.
Only way to make the legit approved list is if they also contain officially backdoored hard/firmware?
This difference explains much.

I actually liked The Silmarillion?
Wonderful man. Got drunk with us. Laughed his ass off.
Only because he wasn't sure if you were related or not... too soon?
what the hell is GRR Martin using-chisels and stone tablets?
Which would explain why his last book(s) are taking so long.
If you bothered to look at the pictures in TFA you'd realize that they used an actual STEAM roller.
Hillary Clinton is furiously taking notes. For when hammers just won't do.
There was but it got crushed under the big heavy wheel of progress, as it were.
I guess it's easy to tell other people what they should do with their money when you've never had any nor ever will.
PS I'm guessing this is a joke. Just imagine I'm addressing the personality you are satirizing.

Saying a son is terrible at writing does not imply the father was good, merely that father was better than the son.
No it's up to you to educate yourself, not me to educate you.

The processor takes on the risk
Until the processor goes belly up and takes the merchant's money with them.
For whatever the exchange can front run you for, 2 days later.

With stocks, you are buying ownership in a company. You don't lose until you sell or the stock goes worthless.
If you know what you're doing, you don't lose period.
