Nuclear is outdated, expensive, requires 1000 years of safe radiation storage and an immense security risk.

Outdated ?! In what world ? Or maybe you mean compared to coal or gas ?

This guy ... Sell your BTC and leave us alone instead of pump and dumping every week !

Am confused by the comments here, whatever your feelings for Ghosn are, the guys obviously illegally exfiltrated a person out of the country. They are going to jail, in Japan like it would be the case anywhere else.

Getting such ransom in bitcoin ? I would be worried ....

There's nothing mysterious, people got scared Tesla would dump their 1.5B USD/BTC...

I wonder what his real reason is.

His real reason is to reduce harm to the environment, as he said. Like most people with autism (as he recently divulged), Musk lacks the capacity to be dishonest or deceptive.

For a guy selling ELECTRIC cars and sending rockets to space, that's quite interesting.

Or maybe they'll soon allow only solar energy to charge Teslas ?

I wonder what his real reason is.

Subvention and political pressure from the US government ?

If people do not see a clear benefit and are reluctant, respect their decision and move on.

What about stopping this pandemic which has been ravaging the world and its economy for the last year and half ?

Or maybe they've got another solution ?

I am all for cryptocurrencies but I won't do anything serious with DOGE. It adds 14.4M DOGE per day, that's quite a lot of daily fiat necessary to only keep it afloat.

The letter is actually pretty empty, just rambling about "elders", world war 1 and 2, years of service for the army, no particular event or situation, and finishing by stating that if a civial war were to happen the army will maintain order by its own, implying going against the government.

Clearly written by the usual far right extremists.

consumers should suspend buying any Chinese products - I’m playing my part

Seriously how do you do that ? You don't have any electronics, electrics and similar ?

Good catch, I would like to know how they found them though.

Reporters Without Borders, a [...] I would certainly want to get as far away from all of it as soon as humanly possible.

And go back home to report about the latest tuna sale ?

Journalists should be supported, how are we going to know what's going on in Myanmar ? Just through the gov propaganda and the filtered Internet ?

I remember having multiple shots when I got vaccinated against the hepatitis B.

Or the booster shots every couple of years you get as a kid. Even as an adult aren't we supposed to get boosters every 10 years or so on our current vaccines ?

The water is 100 percent harmless. Just about all drinking water around the world would be more harmful. These protests from the usual suspects are just for domestic political points.

I wouldn't try though: https://www.dw.com/en/north-south-korea-oppose-japans-plan-to-release-radioactive-fukushima-water/a-50400161

"A study by the regional Kahoko Shinpo newspaper confirmed that levels of iodine 129 and ruthenium 106 exceeded acceptable levels in 45 out of 84 samples in calendar 2017. Iodine 129 has a half-life of 15.7 million years and can cause cancer of the thyroid. Ruthenium 106 is produced by nuclear fission and can be toxic in high doses while also being carcinogenic when ingested.

TEPCO later admitted that levels of strontium 90 were more than 90 times above legally permitted levels in 65,000 tons of water that had already been treated at the site."

They’re not going to close them down, never. The US needs an off site where we can always interrogate and use coheres methods to obtain vital information from terrorist

I am confused, who decide who are the terrorists and who needs to be tortured ?

Why if for some reason your government decides to send you there ?

welcome, welcome, and ... good luck.

Why not dumping it into Inawashiro lake ? Should be big enough if the radioactivity is so low.

Putin must be frustrated; 45 jumped to the phone whenever his boss called.

Ok, now back to reality, why won’t Biden confront Putin and challenge him to a debate? Biden is smart, so he says...he should show the nation Putin is not match for him when it comes to facts. I think it’s fair, better than slinging Nukes at each other.

I am confused, why would country's leaders would debate about anything ?! Is it a TV show or something ? To keep the plebs entertained ?

a passion for guns and God

This kind of person always baffle me ...

China's success inspires hatred, delusions and envy from all the world's losers.

That's why there's so much immigration in China...

A pyramid scheme ready to implode at any moment.

This gangster argument is also nonsense. The USD is currently the first currency used for illicit transactions. The fiat in cash is completly anonymous while Bitcoin is not, one can trace all the transactions since its inception, that's why the cash is still the illegal business king.

sourpussToday 03:13 pm JST

nothing you say there is an actual improvement on the current system. risks included. and your remarks about computer usage don’t make sense. in order to be more widely used, bitcoin needs more computers and therefore exponentially more power.

That's simply not true.

sourpussToday 12:34 pm JST

> no, what’s really funny is how a currency that proponents pride as being secure keeps getting stolen and people keep losing passwords for it.

As much as people getting their internet banking password stolen, not more. What about credit cards ? You don't even need to rob it physically to use it ...

what’s also really funny is how something that proponents keep saying is the currency of the future has a miserable track record in environmental friendliness and can only get worse due to the incentives built into the system.

Bitcoin doesn't need more than a normal computer to run, lots of people currently want a share of the pie and participate, this is summed in those ridiculous comparisons.

They convert energy into currency, like close to any business does.

What about the usage of Visa or Mastercard ? All the terminals, the ATMS, the banks computers, servers, physical offices woldwide, ...

Or gold mining ?

It's really funny the amount of anti crypto currency propaganda Reuters and Bloomberg produce. A bit disapointing that major news delivery websites like JT only forward those.

Desert TortoiseToday 12:13 pm JST

The Swiss I fear have opened a can of worms they will, in the fullness of time, deeply regret opening.

What are you implying ? Terrorism ?

2 suspended years and 1 of house arrest, I am not sure we can call that jail term ...

It's been posited that hedge funds are shorting ETFs that own GameStop stock instead of shorting the stock itself. Other news has reported short-sellers of GME lost $818 million on Wednesday.

There is indeed a small group of well funded people short selling it via all the possible means since the beginning, they've been screwed but I think by some other well funded institutions, WallStreetBets is just anecdotal and has only brought the fight to the public lights.

It's really interesting that those moves are put on the back of a few small investors from an Internet forum, since the beginning this is definitely institutional money, a few guys must have some fun with the whole story.
