lol. The US govt used that strategy on the Branch Davidians in 1993.
Under Trump we have spectacular speakers. They are very impressive, and I think in time you will get tired of how impressive they are. But even then you will know they are the best speakers the world has ever seen.
Stopped in a taco shop right now for no particular reason other than they're always good whether it's a Tuesday or not.
we carried so many of those little minidiscs around. Sony lost another format battle right there. They did get to the place where the minidiscs could hold and play mp3s, but it was too late by then. If Sony had made that transition sooner, the audiophiles may have revolted, but the mass markets would have embraced their devices.
wish I still had my original one. what a great device at a time where everything else was either plastic or overly complicated, like my beloved minidisc player. wish I could find that thing. I think I sold it on ebay.
I had a silver nanotechnology. I played golf on it.
I don't know why I purchased so many pods over the years. I even had that one that had no screen and looked like a pack of gum.
I miss my 1Gen ipod. I gave it to a friend in the Philippines.
There was just nothing else like it. Before the iphone was a thought in any of our heads, the original ipod was so slick and cool with the click wheel and all that storage. As much as I liked the novelty of my minidisc player, this was so much more convenient.
It was a brick, though, due to the actual hdd it had inside.
Old ipods I found in a drawer. The one second from the right is older than my son, who started college this spring.
They all work.
When is soon?
that's sad, but I guess that's life, unless the TB thing is a big deal.
Eminent domain wouldn't require a shareholder vote. The US Government has the ability to take property for just compensation for the public good, so I suspect they could buy the bitcoin at a premium if the SBR, as its characterized, is for the public good and for the amelioration of unsustainable debt, so if they paid $250,000 per coin at today's prices, the cash would inur to the benefit of the shareholders far above the present NAV, but it would be an interesting case. I believe in the late 1800s, this was under consideration for acquiring shares of rail companies. Here's an old ass article about this: https://openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.13051/12997/38_5YaleLJ205_October1892_June1896_.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
I would be interested to see a precedent from the past 120 years where the govt seized the treasury assets of a publicly traded company based on the 5th amendment. That's nationalization, not emminent domain seizure. And again, it would go directly to court.
China doesn't hate bitcoin. It holds more bitcoin than the US.
Pretty sure this would require a shareholder vote. I would expect that if the govt tried to seize it without shareholder and board consent, the lawsuits would quickly begin.
This is different than the gold confiscation.
Just a reminder that bitcoin is not a tech stock.
The list of Bolshevik atrocities is long. Same with Maoist China. FDR and Churchill supported both, and it was easier to scapegoat Germany than to admit they were supporting psychopathic murders.
I'd have to watch the series for the fourth time to decide who I liked the most. Right now, I'd say the Galactica was my favorite character.
