Well let's just say I'd have rather been in the control of the American Experiment.

The Flat Earth Society started this way, making fun of creationists.

Well it also removes the power they have over him in the quid pro quo. If they can't bring the case again, he no longer has to hold up his end of the deal, and so it forces the DOJ to make a statement of whether the case truly is not worth pursuing.

Might ask sauerkraut the same question comparing to cabbage

It's a 9-person study. This is like the articles about bone density loss for these drugs (same as losing significant weight any other way, mitigated by exercise).

These articles blow up and are widely shared due to our thirst for comeuppance, that people taking a "shortcut" will end up getting cancer someday and look like fools.

I believe these drugs aren't without risk and these links should be studied, but it would have to be orders of magnitude more prevalent to offset the good it's done.

I find the kneejerk cravings for scary downsides to be on par with Big Tobacco vape messaging or vaccine skepticism, and, at its root, I think it has some Puritanical holier-than-thou elements since the fatties didn't suffer or risk enough.

Edit: This isn't directed at the scientists, rather the concern trolling on social media.

Standing is flimsy and pliable. They use it to not hear cases they should have and vice versa on a regular basis.

Well they are two separate vehicles coupled together, so it's two manufacturers who must cooperate.

I'm not a true believer in crypto, but I used to play around with it. I have received a 5-figure USD sum of bitcoin from the MtGox settlement, and I'm considering my options. It is a true windfall. It was worth maybe $100-200 when I used to play daytrader and shop silk road with it.

We are on track for early retirement as it is, but my "smart money" intuition says pay the long-term capital gains and invest in funds, how we do everything else. More money earlier is always good.

My gambler side says to withdraw some maybe, but split the rest into a half dozen likely candidates for someday real world crypto use which may take off. I don't stay up to date on them anymore, so this would take some real research.

The weird Trumpy stuff going on with BTC makes me think it couldn't hurt to hold through the election in case prepper types panic buy it lol.

My wife says it's unexpected so just leave it as a high-risk part of our whole portfolio, but I worry she underestimates the risk and scamminess of it all.

Update: I sold the account down to 0.1 BTC today. I may sell more later on. Thanks everyone for your input.
