No one can force you to sell your news organization. No can make you take it public. No one can make you take investor money. Anyone can register a domain and start a news organization. This is not "stuff that matters".
The great thing about Bitcoin, and the thing that distinguishes it from the Internet boom, is you can invest directly in the network, without using some giant fiber monopoly or application ISV as a proxy. It would be like if Arpanet was a startup you could invest in. Investing in ICOs on the Ethereum platform is much more akin to investing in Pets.com.
As software developers, we don't build OSes and programming languages to sell. We build them to use, to provide services we (or others) sell. We are like scientists performing experiments and sharing the results with our colleagues to advance the craft. And like scientists, if you're not sharing your work, you're really not part of the community; you fundamamentally fail to understand what it is to be a part of a knowledge work community and industry.
My point is they obviously did near-zero research. There are plenty of well-known reasonably trusted BTC exchanges. This is what happens when incompetent people come into money through luck rather than hard work or intelligent action.
Sure, but only some of them dump stocks illegally, hire arts majors to run tech security, attempt to take away the rights of victims, send their customers to illegal phishing sites, wait months to report to the public, get into a tiff with their hired outside security consultants, and otherwise completely mishandle the aftermath.
I've never heard of Moolah, which is the first red flag in entrusting a $3million pile of digital cash to them.
The whole point of BTC is to cut out middlemen. Like cash, you hand a wad over to someone and they can do whatever they want with it. Why would you give your wad of cash to someone? What the fuck do you think is going to happen if that guy runs off with your cash?
If you want to hand over a wad of digital cash to someone, use a bank like a normal person. Put your BTC in cold storage in a safety deposit box. This is asset security 101. The fact that these people managing millions of $ in assets don't know the first thing about securing cash is both laughable and sad.
Well, what do you think the Americans are using? The only people I know using credit cards instead of check cards are using company cards. Very few Americans are actually buying groceries on credit, but they use check cards (essentially debit cards tied to a bank account, for those who may not know) run through the Visa/MasterCard credit payment platforms.
You are mathematically illiterate. Imagine a single machine that can produce everything everyone needs. It is the single source of all productive capital, so all money flows to the owner of the machine. Then you tax that wealth at 100% and hand it out evenly to every person. They then give that money to the machine owner for goods and services. Then that money gets taxed at 100%... ad infinitum.
I for one am happy to utilize BTC as a legitimate proxy investment into black market activity. Black markets are pretty good investments when diversified and legitimized.
First of all, those are Dominican avocados, not Florida avocados. Secondly, hass ("Mexican") avocados are healthier than the deficient "Florida" variety. And thirdly, so-called "Florida" avocados are a culinary disaster. I'm really sorry you live in avocado ignorance and that ignorance is too great for you to know what a good avocado is supposed to taste like.
Yeah, some of us have no interest in dedicating a large space to a television, regardles of the size available. The larger the TV, the uglier the room.
The only time this shit is acceptable is when they are emulating a specific model of hardware. Only then does the value of a familiar interface outweigh the travesty that is the digital knob.

You think the hero winning and displaying a good heart are part of the alt-left agenda?
You're a fucking moron.
Because Word Press is so much more secure than an in house CMS.

With BTC, it's completely accounted for. It's all there on the public ledger for the whole world to see. Even theft and fraud is accounted for.

A someone living in SoCal, but native to Detroit, you made me LULZ.

You're a fucking school. Make some fucking coders.

I work about 36-40 hours a week, and have no problem taking time off. Sounds like you all are doing something very wrong.
Or that all these coding camps (typically taught in Python) are attracting less competent developers.

No it isn't bro. You're thinking of VS Express I think.
