Re: What is the most anyone has paid for a bitcoin?

I’ve treated my Bitcoin purchases like gambling. More for entertainment value. Unfortunately I am not much of a gambler at all so we’re only talking about a few hundred bucks at a time. I got interested in Bitcoin around 2011. In 2013 I finally bought a Bitcoin under $100, tripled my money and sold ...

Re: Libertarians of Reddit

Ditto with the whole coronavirus affair. Small business has been systematically extinguished, while large corporations--particularly the handful of uber-wealthy--have moved in to occupy that market share with an efficiency unrivaled by the most well-planned hostile takeover.

Re: How Does Anyone Take Liberal Ideology Seriously?

One criticism I commonly hear from anti-liberals is how the liberals want to promote and encourage illegal immigration. Images come to mind of hordes of illegal immigrants being invited to the US and pouring over the border. But I have not been able to find any evidence of any liberal politician ac...

Re: Is there still no evidence of massive fraud in Georgia?

For consideration from Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist

No, The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not ‘Debunked.’ Not Even Close

A Big Tech-backed 'fact' 'checking' outfit claimed to debunk explosive evidence for Republicans' claims of significant election problems in Georgia. It didn't.

Evidence will not matter. In the end it will be like baseball... a pitch is just a pitch until it's called a ball or a strike by the umpire. It's not reviewable, and everyone just has to move on.

Never mind I know Biden isn't perfect, but I'm pretty sure the whole freaking universe would hold him up as a better example of a human being than Trump.

Re: " Trump has a second, viable stealthy road to victory."

But it's literally only Fox and the NY Post on the Republican side, and every other media outlet on the Democrat side. None of this media, from any source, is being forced down people's throats?
