This is why the stock market is completely rigged against the long investor :

They can print new stock shares (dilution) pretty much any time they want, for any reason.

"The numbers are startling. Since August 15, when the company announced its agreement to take a majority stake in MoviePass, Helios & Matheson's share count has increased a staggering 3,429%, from about 7 million shares to nearly 250 million at the end of last month.

Perhaps more incredibly, the company issued most of those shares just in the last two months as it furiously tried to stay ahead of its losses. As of May 11, Helios & Matheson had just 83 million outstanding shares; that number has more than tripled since then."

Fuck mortgages and fuck debts. I am glad I don't have neither.

Mortgages are not that bad in moderation. I paid about half my house cash from savings (this was pre-bitcoin) and a mortgage for the rest. Interest was low since the bank didn't take much risk financing half while getting the whole house as security.
I got the simplest possible type of mortgage, which was also the most flexible. I had to pay off spread over 30 years but am allowed to pay off upto 20% of the original sum per year extra to reduce my interest payments. If I would loose my job or get sick I would get a much smaller social income and could do less extra payments but could still have made my normal payments without breaking a sweat. Interest was fixed for first 7 years, I planned to pay off everything within 10 years without much effort. (Thanks to bitcoin it took even less)

I see the mortgage as an investment since it allows me to buy a house sooner and stop paying rent sooner. Renting is worse than mortgages unless you plan to move around a lot.
I bought a well insulated stone house that has plenty suitable roof area for solar, which is a reasonable investment if I also want to heat the house using an electric heat-pump on short winter days. That would reduce my fixed expenditures to almost nothing.

Debts that do not result in some financial pay-back are generally not good and should be an emergency solution when savings turn out to be insufficient to cover unexpected expenditures. Insurance should be kept to a minimum, only things you can't realistically plan savings for, like the house burning down and medical insurance (which is mandatory but affordable here). Lottery's are voluntary taxes for people who can't do maths.

Agreed with Torque. People are retards and it is not going to change. There will always be morons who'll take loans from banks to buy a goddamn BMW.

I own a small business and the bank employee in the bank which owns my business bank account despises me. I can see it in his eyes.

-Sir, you don't have any mortgages. No car loans neither, Nothing. In fact you haven't taken a loan since you were born. Would you like some?
+No thanks.
-Btw, you also don't hold any money in your account. Your networth is nearly zero. Would you like some stocks?
+Nope.
-Alright. *Fuck you dear sir*

You should have seen the little teller girls expression that time I deposited a $180,000 check. I was curious before I did it what the reaction would be. Would it be awe? Would it be unimpressed (maybe she sees it all the time being a bank teller)? Would it be skepticism? Would it be avarice? Would it be appreciation? I'll give you a moment to make your own guess. It may be relevant to add that I am a white man in my late 20s and she was a young black woman probably in her early 20s.

No, none of those, it was just anger. You could tell she was instantly and visibly PISSED. Jaw clenched, mouth tightened, eyes narrowed. No ambiguity in it. It made me feel sorry for what ever man she went home to that night.

I was surprised by that. I don't know why. I don't know what I was expecting. I don't know what I should have been expecting. If you guessed did you guess right?

Also in the interest of you guys not thinking I'm some sort of gangster or something trying to flash my bling, I'll add that the money was simply to buy a home for my family. I don't routinely do crazy things like that. In fact I never have before or since.

I had that kind of money once. Boy did I blow it.

It was probably jealousy... likely from the fact that you are a young, white male, and that your type gets those kind of breaks in life (her misperception). She probably had you pegged as spoiled and coming from a wealthy family. A trust fund baby.

ffs, is there some kind of rule 34 about conspiracy theories?

There should be, like: everything has a 'conspiracy (theory) of it'.

Make it rule 36?

It cannot be rule 35 - as that is already in use as the update to rule 34, which is that 'if there isn't yet, there will be'.

So, of course you'd need a rule 37 (see rule 35).

I never delved around the dark nutcase (or more enlightened?) fringe recesses of the web enough, life is too short.  However, after a few years on here, I have come to realise it's pretty pointless to assume anything will be universally accepted as a fact.  And often the rebuttal involves a conspiracy theory to prove it.

Challenger is a new one for me, but I am not surprised to see it exists.

There were far too much blocks in the hours before

7,17/h blocks in the last 6 hours

If you test all possible combinations before finding a block. Best case, you immediately find it, worst case you find it on the last combination, average, you will find the block in about half the time of the maximum.

But no single miner searches all possible combinations by itself and as far as I know there is no decided range of combinations tested by each pool so different pools may end up testing the same combinations. and different pools include different transactions so operate in a different search space. This means that the upper limit is a lot higher than twice the average block time.

Random results do included things humans don't find random at all. 100 slow blocks in a row is less likely that 10 slow blocks in a row, but not impossible.
