i assumed that until you can do a handstand with ease, the risk of injury is high.

the load on the shoulder joints in this position is very unfavourable.

millions of people run every day, of course there are injuries.

its worth a dollar - its a scam.

its worth a hundred dollars, people use it to buy goods - its a scam.

its worth a thousand dollars, people start using it as a store of value and a hedge against inflation - its a scam.

its worth 65.000 dollars, theres also ethereum changing the face of banking forever - its a scam.

calling me a scam artist while disregarding all the givens of reality, at this point its really hard to convey how extraordinarily mind-bendingly narrow-minded this point of view is.

it is noticeably peculiar to compare one of the most significant technical inventions of our century with a half-baked hair dryer.

such innovations only appear now and then, one should have the intuition to recognize them as such, otherwise he will miss the opportunities of such developments.

This is a very limited and short-sighted view on the emergence and development of new technologies.

From the first petrol engine (1879) to the Ford Model T (1908), the Arpanet (1969) to the Internet (1990), as also software development (Cyberpunk 2077 was developed over 8 years), these things have one thing in common: they need time.

When one day your every breath (and its payment) is recorded on a blockchain then you should be aware that such a technology capable to do so does not exist yet, but its basic features do.

this seems like a placeholder, some kind of lorem ipsum of mozart where the final text was never delivered for some reason - you know like those companies nowadays which use, instead of lorem ipsum, any number of profanities before the real text drops in (at least until the customer finds out).

the real reason why the 500 euro bill has been revoked was that for storing physical money (for banks, in those quantities) would become more expensive in order for the ECB to lower the interest/deposit rate.

next thing will be 200 euro bills revoked, then the base rate can go down to around -1%.
