Droo posted:Based on my anecdotal experience, this would result in someone stealing all the money and disappearing like 90% of the time. I'm actually very interested in this project. I'm not rich at all but a not-insignificant amount of my income (after bills and savings and stuff ofc) goes to helping friends and friends-of-friends and friends-of-friends-of-friends in crushing poverty make rent/pay small fines to get their car back/etc. And I'd really like to see if these kinds of actions could be organized effectively to both pool larger amounts of money and reach more people (while somehow still excluding scammers). e: Is there a group brainstorming it already somewhere, or are we still waiting for the main thread or w/e?

Just put all the money in bitcoin and then use that one tool to break the key up among 5 people so it requires at least 3 of them to agree to access the wallet, nothing could possiblye go wrong!

baquerd posted:Poors are almost universally BWM because they have failed to grasp the skills necessary to grab onto the income side of the income/savings/investing equation. Understanding the basics of how to live a non-poor life is going to be highly correlated with not living a poor life. Unfortunately, there are a ton of social cues and other things holding poors back from wider acceptance in white collar jobs. Being poor by itself is not a huge contributor, it's a lack of skills and understanding of societal roles. So wait are you saying people are poor because they don't understand how to make money better

baquerd posted:If we define "poors" as those not making much money, then that's drat near a tautology, unless you want to claim that poors don't want to make more money. Yes it is a tautology that's why I pointed it out, to mock you cuz you're real dum

Motronic posted:I think the reasonable version of this is that "poor" people are sometimes poorer than they would otherwise be due to lack of financial education/role models. It's something that exacerbates the problem. I don't think that's what he's saying though, because he explicitly mentioned "income" a bunch, to the exclusion of "savings and investment" and talked about skills to get more money

We had this one substitute teacher in highschool who was apparently a regular teacher who got a hot tip about the dot com bubble from a friend and made millions and now just substitute teacher'd when he was bored. We got to see his fancy rich guy car which was fun.

BEHOLD: MY CAPE posted:Probably the number one cost component of all those drinks is liquor sin taxes and the implied expense of owning a liquor license. Why Americans generally put up with having the piss taxed out of alcohol and just shrug our shoulders and say well I guess a cocktail costs $13, is really beyond me. It's basically the only kind of tax that can get passed anymore because you can only tax The Bad People Who Deserve It

I think at this point the only thing that will kill it is if it somehow becomes worse for money laundering or transferring funds across borders. ? It's crashed several times since it hit parity with the dollar, each time more hilarious than the last. People are sure that it will crash because it crashes all the time.

Sokani posted:Bitcoin has surged in popularity and price because people believe that block-chain technology is useful I'm pretty sure Bitcoin has surged in popularity because it has a big number attached to it and people hear things like "1000% return per year!!!" and their brain just kinda turns off. Blockchains are a whole different can of worms though that has basically become so diluted as a buzzword that companies are claiming any kind of database is a "blockchain," or that anything can be improved by adding one (with bizarre results like dentacoin). In reality, the technology has been around much longer than bitcoin in the form of Merkle trees, which do have their uses but which aren't the magical panacea everyone's selling blockchains as.

I can't believe this needs explaining but I don't think anyone here considers anyone else to be their "enemy." Moneyball seems like an alright person and like most people they sometimes do lovely stuff. I would really appreciate it if they were to apologize for the lovely stuff instead of doubling down on it but I'm not like, demanding that their modship be stripped from them and they be forever driven from the forums in shame. If you can't recognize that people are more complex than "sides" or "enemies" I really don't know what to tell you.
