GM!
Cancelled my trip and heading NC to participate in operation airdrop: flying supplies into parts of NC and TN that are cutoff via road.
They don't take Bitcoin but if you are inclined to donate see:
GM!
I wish I knew how to better orange pill my wife. She gets frustrated listening to complex explanations. She wants something simple to understand it.
If this is true: if you can't explain something simply, then you don't understand it
Then: I don't understand Bitcoin
Who does? I just wish I were better skilled at explaining it enough to make her more comfortable.
The good news is that she trusts me.
Listening to a podcast today, I heard, "Market externalities are why we need governments"
I find this argument uncompelling. Yes, market externalities exist. But they're dwarfed by government externalities.
Did W pay the full costs of the patriot act?
Did O pay the full costs of the ACA?
Now swap "full" with "any"
Does any politician care for any consequence beyond the length of their term?
Governments as the solution to market externalities is like gouging your eye out because you contracted pink eye.
