Waarom is privaatheid belangrik? Daar is verskeie antwoorde op hierdie vraag, maar tot ‘n groot mate verstaan ons almal die belangrikheid daarvan instinktief; jy kan dit sien aan die gordyne voor ons vensters. In die artikel wil ek oor net een aspek van privaatheid praat en waarom ons dit moet waardeer en verdedig. Privaatheid is…

A few things I’d like to get off my chest before I get on with my rebuttal: I’m a big fan of Nassim Taleb’s work. No book has impacted the way I live my life on a day-to-day basis more than the Incerto except the Bible and maybe Montaigne. Can’t think of a bigger compliment…

I can confirm that the USD itself also didn’t make it (apparently money doesn’t grow on the Magic Money Tree) and sats are…

I don’t know who I like trolling more; nocoiners, libertarians, liberals, Tesla shorts, or value investors. Today I’m going to have some fun at the expense of value investors. It’s a bit of payback for all the value investor stabs they give bitcoiners like: Bitcoin is a bubble Tulip mania It doesn’t produce any cash…
