    That's chicken little screaming nonsense.

    the United States will always be able to afford to "make" fresh water from saltwater or to store floodwaters as California and other western states will. It won't be expensive either, the most basic kind of civil engineering done or the simplest solar energy use imaginable.

    you are funny. bitcoin can take days to clear a transaction when the network is congested. bitcoin controls your liquidity!

    The credit card companies aren't freaking out, they don't want to deal with an extremely volatile game-token coupled with a poor architecture that causes network congestion. They are not as stupid as a crypto-currency investors

    actually, many stereotypes are VERY useful, if something is true 95% of the time it's a useful generalization.

    I'm not seeing how you arrived at that conclusion.

    Your holdings in the "unregulated bank" bounce up and down hugely in value from day to day (bitcoin currently down to $9K), can take days to "withdraw" when network congested, and are not insured against loss or theft, and are outlawed in some countries with more countries considering it.

    My bank account has none of those problems.

  12. worried shill on Why Tether's Collapse Would Be Bad For Cryptocurrencies (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    So a Tether shill is worried about a cryptocurrency most of us never even heard of until 2 minutes ago, and is trying to deceive us into thinking that a crackdown on Tether which claims real cash reserves, for the reason that it claims having equal cash reserves, would have any bearing whatsoever on most cryptocurrencies which do not make such a claim.

    Laughable. No it doesn't matter what happens to Tether, your pet cryptocash can burn the ground without affecting anything else.

    At least 30% of the people released went back to terrorism, I'd call that strong correlation with gitmo actually housing dirtbags. And there might be good reason those detainees weren't liked by other governments, perhaps they were violent terrorists and their supporters.

    Making farmland and large cities in deserts certainly depletes groundwater.

    Aquifers are a great place to store floodwater for hard times. So the studies of that have started.

    Desalinating water is a perfect solar application too.

    I just don't see reason to worry about "running out of water", it's just an engineering problem.
