That advice seems like a red flag. There are way more options to diversify investments in an IRA than a 401k, you can also invest in the same funds through an IRA that are available to your 401k. Either way you end up paying fees to someone as well.

The difference is the government exists to step in and punish scammers, and regulates markets to prevent many scams for being possible.

That’s a similar but different concept. Blockchain adds a way to determine consensus of the correct tree. While git is distributed, it’s generally not trustless, there’s generally a trusted version of the repository.

Blockchain wouldn’t have mattered for 2008, at least not the crash parts. Blockchain would help with who owned which loans which was also an issue. It wouldn’t do anything for the crash parts as that was bad lending fundamentals of no verified income or unrealistic appraisal.

Blockchain scams are evidence of it’s unreadiness and naivety. Crypto has speed ran the last 200-300 years of financial fraud. Pump and dumps, ponzi schemes, front running, market manipulation, rug pulls, and more.the fact the only viable use case is crime is also pretty telling, anyone that can safely involve a government entity would rather do that.

Yep. I just always put money in my 401k, I don’t know what a paycheck without 15% going to retirement looks like. I’ve still got at least 30 years to go.

It’s an unrated cut.

Lio Partagaz the ISB leader in Andor. He is an amazing example of the extreme competency of the empire, and why they should be feared. If the empire was full of the bumbling idiots depicted in most of the media, they wouldn’t be an empire.

There’s nothing worse than hearing a recording of your voice though.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem. A way to establish trust while not trusting any party is a cool concept, but in the real world it’s far easier to establish a source of trust.

If you want to be a bit pedantic the and is incorrect for a year. When you say a number the and should be to denote a decimal portion of a number. It’s generally not always used that way so context is often required to determine the intent.

True, especially “agents” that only use one or two companies.

This is why you should get insurance through an independent agent. There are companies you’ve never heard of that do auto/home/life insurance for better rates. The same is true of mortgages.

Get a cheap disposable one. If you really don’t use it often the cost of an unused reusable thing is greater than buying disposable.

In this dude’s defense, Trump was the first president to not send troops into a new conflict in my lifetime.

I don’t understand the love for white devices. Thanks to everyone paying a premium price for an inferior color.

Only psychopaths drink wine while playing games with kids. Normal people drink vodka with light ice in that scenario.

A mainframe computer is probably still processing your paycheck in either your company or the bank.

Yup, the costs of dealing with a years worth of a product is also a lot of money.

I really hope that guy isn’t allowed to bet on games.

Reaching across the aisle is supposed to be a post election thing.
