  1. Let me see if I understand this correctly. Rejoining the EU would be (arguably) better for your country, but you will not do something that is better for your country because you might not get the same deal you had before which (arguably) was a lot better. It sounds to me like the "Perfect being the enemy of the good" This is my personal opinion, (right or wrong) Personally I think it is a matter of pride. And I am not saying this to be rude, I would also have the same pride issues. Also I think that the EU is better off without the UK, Not because the UK will not enhance the economics, and not because it will not straightened security, but simply because without British interference the EU is more capable of making the nessacery integration reforms to make the EU a better union.
  2. First you complain that I did not answer your question concerning my personal finances, trying to impune my arguments by questioning my motivation for the argument rather than address the argument itself. That in debating circles is called an Ad Hominem attack, and is a cheap shot. , yet you have answered non on my germane questions, but simply offered your personal opinion. Then the above post. So much to unpack in this reply, This will be my last attempt at getting though to you,, Hanging around this forum I have indeed learned many things, one of them being that few of you seem to understand the opposing arguments. Do you know what a fiat currency is? Google it. "A fiat money is a type of currency that is declared legal tender by a government but has no intrinsic or fixed value and is not backed by any tangible asset, such as gold or silver. " -So does crypto have intrinsic value? " Answer Chat GPT: Cryptocurrencies do not have intrinsic or fixed value as their value is derived from market demand and supply. " -So crypto is like a fiat currency but with the additional disadvantage of not being backed by any goverment. Then you say: "BTC is totally traceable " you do know that all Chinese are asians but all asians are not Chinese right? The article is about Crypto, BTC is crypto, but not all crypto is BTC. So choosing one crypto and attempting to attribute its advantages and or disadvantages to all crypto is a logical fallacy. You do see that right?
  3. I realise that this was posted seven days ago, but where in Khon Kaen did you get the booster?
  4. I agree, but is it worth the risk? I would at least keep it there until your extension is approved , My extension based on marriage usually comes back in about a month , perhaps a bit less. You still get 6 months worth of beer. et me know when you do, I am coming over and will even bring the ice
  5. Id that why it is the currency used in the dark web fir illegal transactions? Ok I believe you. I must not know what I am talking about, I guess you guys then need to change the name from crypto to.....
  6. I have where else would I be against Crypto in the Asean Now forum? Is that the only option? I deed you can, I have been able to comfortably retire and set my wife for life after I pass on, being older than my wife, By investing wisely . Slow and steady wins the race. Not by investing my hard earned assets in a cassino where I have a 10% higher chance to lose than I have to win. I am happy that you are winning sure hope that it remains so.
  7. I am confused ,why would I need to answer your questions??? It was not germane to the discussion or the point that I originally made The Greater Fool theory is a well established economic theory , studied by any first year macro economic student, first discussed by professor Burton Malkiel.where he said that as an investor, you can buy stocks or other investment assets that are clearly over-valued and still make money. This stems from his observation that due to biases in human behavior, people are generally drawn to assets whose prices are increasing. He posited that the effect is worsened due to herd mentality, where stories of immediate success by others are more likely to spur others to pursue similar gains. In short, the theory suggests that there is always a “greater fool” that you can sell the asset to. But the trick is for you not to be the greater fool. As far as not knowing anyone who lost money in crypto, I guess you must not know many people in crypto then, Let me help you out. "It's not that no one has made money off crypto. In fact, our survey finds that of those who've had crypto, 28% sold it for more than it was worth. But a higher rate of investors — 38% — sold their crypto for less than it was worth when they bought it. Another 13% broke even. " https://www.lendingtree.com/debt-consolidation/crypto-investors-survey/#:~:text=to make up.-,Losing more money than you make,Another 13% broke even.
  8. That is exactly the definition of the greater fool theory
  9. And many have lost a lot more. Where do you think their gains come from?
  10. I read some place that banks were considering raising the interest rate paid to 2% , 400,000 baht at 2% will net about 600baht. Not enough money to take a chance for IMO.
  11. Reaching your brain being an impossible task, I am sure using other bodily orifices could be arranged at an extra cost ????
  12. Let me see if I understand this correctly. If it could not be sold to merchants, how could the police sell them without becoming merchants themselves.
  13. Wooden House made out of the killing of many trees, Karma? or just payback.
  14. Not when there is so much other crap.
  15. lindsey graham is a boot licker.!! When senator McCain looked like he might become president he was McCain's best friend, Then when trump looked like he would get the nomination,even though trump was making going after McCain lindsey dumpt McCain and started blowing trump. linsey is making a straw man argument , trump is being charged for Violation of the Espionage Act, which includes acts other than spying for a foreign goverment, conspiracy to obstruct justice,and making false statements to investigators.I guarantee you ,Jack Smith , and his team of top lawyers are not about to commit professional suicide by bringing up charges that do not apply , or have sufficient evidence to support his case. In addition a Grand Jury has heard the evidence and has recommended indictment. This Grand Jury was selected randomly and I am sure contained many republicans .
  16. Unfortunately bad actors, and nations will not be deterred. In fact, "Good" nations with the best intentions' will not desist from pursuing further development because their enemies will not, and to do so would be unilateral disarmament. And the enemies will not stop development because they don't know what their enemy will do. (Enemy being a subjective term) The genie is out of the bottle and there is no putting it back .I am afraid we are screwed. The good news is that we will finally have intelligent life on earth.
  17. I said that from day one. It's speculation is based on "The greater fool" theory. Which says, "Yes it is foolish to pay for this, but there is a greater fool who would pay more", This works until you are the greater fool, as many have sadly found out.
  18. Are you suggesting that Special counsel Jack Smith has not read the Espionage Act of 1917 and subsequent amendments and is erroneously charging trump? What a rube he must be !! I suggest you read the espionage act, your answer is there. Perhaps you can send a message to Mr. Smith , (if indeed that' his real name) and save him some embarshment.
  19. Realy? the US is not crazy about a currency that could if successful replace the dollar as the world bussiness currency, and make transactions difficult to trace, regulate, and tax? I cant believe that,must be fake news.
  20. I These are simple country people. and it seems like he was taking more precautions than most thais I know, I personally have on several occasions seen Thais collecting Honey by simply Lighting a fire under the tree and smoking them. From what is reported he seemed to be taking more precaution than most. Don't confuse unsophisticated with stupid. I am sure you are unsophisticated in some subjects , and that does not make you stupid. Go on the internet and research the subject? are you serious? these people are farmers not internet researchers. The farmer next to my farm, a very nice guy that I use all the time to help me does not even have a cell phone. And suppose he was stupid, does that make his life any less valuable? Have some compassion and respect. Not everyone can be a genius like you.
  21. My apologies, I did not read the "Guy Handbook" as closely As I should have. Im my defence , having grown up with three sisters, I had to develop survival strategies. Initially I had read some place that when attacked by bears to lay down in a fetal position and play dead and thought it would also work with sisters considering the similarities between the two , Sad to report that it did not work with my sisters and in retrospect I suspect it does not work with bears . So I thought that if I fed them, the sisters not the bears, They might leave me alone. Though the strategy was successful to a point , as displayed by the fact that I am still around to talk about it , I am sorry to admit that that I did not consider the effect such strategy might have on other man But as one men suggested to another when confronted by a bear, that they make a run for it, and the friend objected that they could not outrun a bear , The first friend explained that he did not have to outrun the bear, all he needed to do was outrun the other man. Moral of the story is that when it comes to bears and women you are all on your own ????
  22. Do some reading on the subject. Google it. Also smiling makes you appear more confident and competent . Try it, Go in the bathroom look in the mirror and smile to yourself. I promise you would feel better, The process is backed by our world famous No money back guarantee, ????
