Destroying the rail line would send a message, but it's not enough. Rail lines can be rebuilt. It has to be strangled.

He challenges Putin and ends up in a gulag and no one here cares. That's self-preservation. Still he went to talk to him when no one else would. Meanwhile, you or I would be pissing in our shoes if we found ourselves face to face with Putin.

Not sure if people really understand France and UK's history with Iran. It's really important, and it goes back to Britain's wars with Russia in the 1850s. Britain viewed Persia as a chess piece against Russia, and France got lusty over Persia's oil in the 1910's. Britain and France hoped in defeating the Ottomans in WWI that they would pry Persia away from both the Ottomans and Russia to control its oil.
Also look into Kermit Roosevelt if you think America is an innocent bystander is all of this nonsense.

That's a feature. Or least it was intended to be. I don't think the Founding Fathers imagined that America would be hegemonic, and so a change every four years seemed wise to give the system some balance. You know, nothing extreme in either direction.

You don't have to be an influencer to figure out the problem with this argument. You're basically saying people are idiots and can't figure out multifaceted things (like dollars, quarters, dimes and pennies).
It is not a complicated thing to understand that there is a finite number of pizzas, and that the pizza has slices (which we call slices rather than pizza). Well...it is some MMT folks, but the rest of the people get it.
You're throwing out the hard money argument.
Meanwhile, what we'd really like you to do is have every cash app terminal accept bitcoin. But it seems like you want to argue over this rather that do that.

That's awesome. I focused on buying bitcoin instead of dumping low interest debt, and now I can live debt free if I want. But since my bitcoin's cagr exceeds the interest on my house (my only debt) I'm incentivized to keep the debt. Plus you have future value of the bitcoin used to pay off the house to consider. Doing so now will make that house very very expensive in the future. It's not worth it to me. Knowing I can do it is enough to make me rest easy. Knowing the bitcoin I am stacking will buy me four houses in 10 years makes me sleep like a baby.

While much has been made this week about dangers to bitcoin because we're not spending it. Just wait. That power will be unleashed more and more during the next 2-3 years.
Before too long, producers and retailers will want our bitcoin. Stake & Shake is just a whisper of what's to come.
Then we will argue again about how we're filling up the block space and transactions costs are too expensive.

I may have missed you saying morality is primary. If so, my bad. I look at families as the essential social unit. They are held together by covenants of blood, purposes, and moral convctions. This depends on the transcendentals. I believe that Aristotle would support this point. My issue is that he didn't give weight to God's involvement in the moral equation. Human action often has nothing to do with our interactions with one another and what is best re community thriving but rather with our relationship with the divine. The material gives way to the spiritual, which is a domain where money is irrelevant.
Maybe I'm arguing for a distinction without a difference, or for a perspective I don't really comprehend, but I don't see an acknowledgment of a supernatural conscious moral being in Aristotle's thinking.

If we want the elimination of cgt, which has a legal status, the legal status of bitcoin also has to change. That's all I'm saying. We can certainly use bitcoin as a medium of exchange and hope the govt doesn't ever come after us.
Another possibility is that the current tax system gets abolished, and the whole cgt question becomes irrelevant.
